PRESIDENTIAL BABY NAMING.

President Rooseyelth as been more
named after than any president in the
country save Washington. If the present
ratio of naming babies for our strenuous
chief executive continues for ten years
Theodore Roosevelt will be more deserv-
ing the title of father of his country"
than any of his predecessors.
Massachusetts quota OF babies who bear
the presidential name is estimated at 40.
New England's entire contribution is
placed at 100. and during the last TWO
years, he has received letters from at
least 500 people informing him that his
name is now on the family roll call.
This is one Of the ills to which Presi-
Dental flesh Is heir. He does not need to
suggest. and he cannot refuse the honor
that is thrust upon him. He must smile
and bear il. and IL convenient acknowl
edge the tribute that is conferred How
ever. if President Roosevelt were to an
swer the letters of all those who have
used his name as a stimulus for babyhood.
he would have to quacruple his present
clerical force. He has always had the
regard of a vast majority Of the fathers
IN the country But the unanim.ty with
which mothers endorse him by imprintins
his name upon their offspring for life
is mot the least remarkable fact in the
history of this remarkable man.-Boston

LEFT HANDED.

1t is a great misfortune for anyone to
be left handed. Everything is made for
right handed people, hence the left hand
ed are often at a disadvantage besides APP
pearing awkward. There is no need, how
ever, of any one growing up left handed
if attention is given at the proper time.
That attention should begin when the
baby is 4 week old. In wrapping the lit
tie creature leave the right hand free for
action. They begin to reach early. Take
hold of the right hand. give everything to
the right hand and place its playthings
where it can reach them best with the
right hand, and YOU will have no further
trouble. If. however. from neglect or in
attention the baby has happened to COM
mence using the left hand it may be
easily remedied, if taken in time, by put
ting a little sack over the left hand and
tieing it at the wrist. II they are started
right they will all grow mp right handed.

A LESSEE FIBUREs.

A LESSEE FIGURES.
To The Eagle:
Governor Ferguson recently said on
school land iessees. according to The
Eagle of November %:
IF school land lessees should quit the
land 1t would bring more. If every school
land lessee should refuse to accept his
lease for the coming year on the terms of
the appraisement We could place the land
on the market, secure good bonus for
the privilege of renting it and in addition
secure just twice as much for the use OF
the land
The governor speaks of bonus, but
says nothing about liquidating the lessee
for his improvements. 1 know of very
few but what would take pay for their
improvements and cheerfully quit.
Now, the question is who has made this
land valuable by the improvements; who
has borne the burden and heat of the day
from start to finish, in paying the lease
money when the country was in its in
fancy, and when the people needed it?
Who was it that increased the value Of
this land from $500 per quarter govern
All the land adjoining the school land
could have been commuted for $500 per
quarter.
/ have paid 1920 for the use of one
quarter of this land in the last twelve or
thirteen years. My little investment has
paid for the land just six times If
understand it Oklahoma has been getting
pretty good interest on her investment in
school land.
Now. if the school board is not salts
fed to take the first cost for this land
every two years l don't know what more
we can do. William Sherman said War
was hell but ! think taxes are nearly
So This school land was valuable gift
TO the people, but the school board sure
want to tax it all the traffic will bear.
Governor Ferguson made d slip Of the
tongue when he took the text he did on
the school land question. Taxes have
been known TO be oppressive-by an over
signt-but I hope the good and kind gov
ernor of Oklahoma will not allow any OPP
preston. The governor seems to think
favoriteism has been extended to the
school land lessee. l want to know in
what manner when, where and how. Who
has asked for favoriteism?
! think the people Of Oklahoma are as
loyal as any people l have ever met, and
that they have as few kickers among
them | think the governor got off on
the wrong foot this time when he wants
to increase their burden by taxation. We
all know that tax is burden and exces-
sive taxation is oppressive

ADVOCATES WHIPPING POST.


While WichitanS are in favor of elect
ing a man to go to the next legislature
who would secure the passage Of bill
that would authorize this city to pave her
streets. etc, let them also frame n bill
for it to pass a law to establish a whip
ping post to whip all criminals who are
found guilty of wife beating. chicken
thieving and horse stealing aand like Of
lenses. and punish them at home where
the crime was committed. Whip them in
sight, where we can see them punished
instead of sending them TO jail and the
penitentiary at the expense of the county
and state. Sending them To the peniten-
tiary does not always remedy the evil, for
as soon as they are released they go back
to their old neighborhood and commit
the same act again. and are at the public
expense once more One good. sound
whipping by a big stout negro will either
cure or he'll leave the country never TO
