think of the towel, the old-fash0ned towel
used to hang up by the printing-hoase door,
thing that nobody in these days of shoddy
Can hammer out iron to as 1t wore.
The tramp who abused it, the devil who used 1t,
The comp who got at 1t when these two were gone;
The makeup and foreman, the editor poor man,
Each rubbed some CRIME off while they put hemp
under twas backer than thunder,
harder than poverty rougher than sin;
From the roller suspended, 1t never WAS pended,
And foaed on the wall like q banner Of sin;
grew thicker, rougier and tougher,
And daily put Il mixer hue,
Until movlu, morning without any warning,
L, fell to the floor and was broken in two.

Attorney A. j. Morris, of the
well known firm of Morris &
Lange, returned from GuthrieI
yesterday, where he had been on
legal business. This firm has APP
pealed the case of school district
No. Al VS.. G. W. Turner, the
present County Superintendent,
to the Supreme Court. The petit
ton in the error was filed by Mr..
Morris Jan. 18th 1903 and will be
heard at the next term of the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Turner has
in a number of instsnces changed
the boundaries of school districts
without the petition Of, and notice
to the inhabitants of the districts
affected. Mr.. Morris contends
that the County Superintendent
is a servant of the people, and
has no right under the law to
change the boundaries of an or
ganized school district, until there
has been filed with him a petition
signed by one third of the legal
voters of the district TO be affected
by such change, and that twenty
days notice of the hearing should
be given before any action should
be taken. In this particular case
Mr.. Turner attempted TO change
the boundaries of the district
without any petition or notice OF
the hearing, and the inhabitants
of the district do not propose tc
submit to such arbitrary actions
This decision will be of great
interest to the districts through
out the county, as many of then
have been changed in the same
arbitrary manner as the one re-
farred to.
