SHY ON COURTESY.
Cleo. Chieftnln. lRepl


Just before Governor Barnes re-
tired he appointed board to locate
the southwestern normal school, and
now comes Governor Jenkins and ap-
points another board for the same
purpose, It might be said that Gov
ernor Barnes did not show much court
esy to his successor by appointing this
board, but nevertheless he acted with
in the scope of his authority and ac-
cording to law. and his appointments
should stick and the work OF his
board should be approved. The whole
trouble is that the Rock Island rail-
road wants this school located some
where on It's road, and this mighty cor
poration Is afraid that the Barnes
board might locate it on some other
road, We don't know that the Rock
Island should run everything in okla
homa. Oklahoma has other good rail-
roads and there are other people who
should be considered who are In no
way connected with that mighty cor
poraton We should not like to see
Governor jenkins embarrassed, but
We are afraid he will be II he allows
a certain crowd ia Oklahoma to do all
his thinking for him The legislature
should have located this institution,
but they didn't see fit to do IT, but
left It with the governor Of Oklahoma
to appoint a board to do that very
thing, and as Cassius Marius Barnes
had the first whack at il, he took ADJ
vantage of the opportunity It might
be said that he threw all courtesy TO
the wind when he appointed that
board but when you come to think
seriously about II, you would have to
search a long, long time before you
could find an Oklahoma office holder
who ever sat at table when that
article courtesy was passed around,

A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.

Senator Hawley. OF Connecticut
who was one of the fighting generals
during the Civil war, made the decla-
ration, when the country's pension list
called for $2O,0OO,O 900 annually that
so great an outlay was more than
the government was justified in MAX
Ing The object contemplated in
granting pensions was fully attained
by the expenditure Of s2O,OOO,OOO per
year. and from that maximum figure
the sum should be steadily reduced,
as the veterans paid the debt of Nature
and needed no more gratuities from
their grateful countrymen. When
General Grant was first inaugurated
president, the pension payments had
reached the extravagant sum Of $780,
100000. AZ tnat point the command
er IN chief OF the army OF the United
states Officially declared that the
grant OF pensions should cease. He
understood and appreciated the SER
vices Of the Union soldiers, and he
wan gratided that they should be paid
lberaly by the government but TO
pay $4,000 600 every year was to i'm
pose too heavy tax on the people
Of the country Today thirtysix
years after the war when an entire
generation has passed away we are
paylag from s14O,OOO,OOO TO Si5O,OOO-
600 annually TO the survivors Of the
Civil war veterans. The sum IS now
six times greater That what General
Hawley thought was ample, and Eve
times greater chan the maximum
General Grant declared 10 be more
than sufficient
This showing indicates that a mis-
take of incaleulable proportions has
been made, somewhere. Either the
great leaders Of the Civil war based
their judgments on false premises
and were wrong beyond belief In their
conclusions or the national legisla-
ture has committed a stupendous err
ror in approprlating the peoples
money 70 an extent greater than can
possibly De required or than the or
dlnay mind can comprehend The
surviving veterans OF the civil war
are now old men, ana 10 American
would deprive them OF one dollar
justly their due, but when It comes 70
taxing their fellow citizens $4,000.

tion OF mistaken calculations de.
mands serious consideration In the
thirty-aix years since the close Of the
war the majority OF the old soldiers

USELESS EXPENDITURE or
PUBLIC MONEY.

It is understood that the city coun
ell is arranging to place contracts for
sinking several wells on Island park
recently purchased for $4,000. That
is. new series Of wells is to be put
down for the purpose Of obtaining a
water supply sufficient to allow for
city sewerage.
The Leader has no desire to criti-
cize the council IN it's endeavors to in
crease the city's water facilities, but
It does seem that this arrangement for
more experimental wells is a use
less waste of public funds.
As is well known the experimental
we'll" business was worked to a finish
three years ago. with absolutely no
beneficial returns. Several wells
we're sunk one well was put down
in the northwest portion Of Island
park at an outlay Of $1,000. Water
was struck but before the mahciuery
could be pulled out the wen caved in
and was finally abandoned. This was
dead loss to the city and .ouI were
the complaints Of tax payers at the
time
There has certainly been a beauti-
ful suniciency Of experimental
wells"
What is needed is permanent
water supply and this can be obtained
only in one way, by reservoir systems.
The city has enough wells. What
is needed is one or two big reservoirs
to hold the water pumped from the
wells. A reservoir can be constructed
for the price of one or two wells, The
governmental well proposition is a
money loser and the sooner the coun-
ell awakes to this fact the richer will
be the city.
