anyway.
1t now becomes our duty to do all in
our power as good citizens to make the
city government success. Let us see
how much we will be permitted to do,
and if our speculations about crooked
ring rule were unwarranted. We will
be able to tell within one year from
the date of the city organization
whether Forsyth has derived any ben
efits from her public expenditures or
whether she has merely given herself
the burden of supporting ring of pub
lie grafters. We hope for the former
but still have approximations of the
latter.

What about the gambling PROPOSE
ton? Are the officers whose duty it is
and who are sworn to enforce the law
going to continue in violation Of their
oaths of office? If so, means will be
taken to compel them to enforce the
laws or get someone who will. We
wish to call the attention of the county
attorney and sheriff to the fact that the
laws of the state are not wrapped
within themselves but that there is
higher authority in the state to whom
we may appeal. Is the graft SO great
in allowing the open violation of the
law in the matter of gambling that
said officers will not stop it? The peo-
pie want to know.

The sheriff must preserve the peace,
arrest and take before the nearest
magistrate for examination all persons
who attempt TO commit or have COM
mitted public offense. The county
attorney must institute proceedings
for the arrest of persons charged with
or reasonably suspected of public
offense. Now will these officials pre-
tend ignorance of the fact that there
are people on our streets every day
who have no visible means of support,
no employment and are violating the
vagrancy law? And that they can see
card games running where there is
money on the tables? And wheels in
operation in open violation of the law!
The better people of our community
want to know whether or not these
officials are going to continue in vio-
lation Of their oaths of office.

If the Forsyth Business Mems asso-
citation wants to accomplish something
for the good of this town, as we'll as
the entire surrounding country, we
suggest that they take up the matter
of getting a woolhouse here.
A woolhouse, supported by a steel
would make Forsyth fairly leap and
bound along the road of prosperity.
OF all the wool grown at our very
door, there is not one pound marketed
in this town, which is rather a poor
showing for town about to assume
municipal dignity.
The Business Mems association
would do we'll to take the matter up
with the Northern Pacific and see
what can be done towards this end,
for it seems quite deplorable to us that
our town, the county seat, does moth
ing towards furnishing market for
the chief product of the county.
We think conservative estimate of
the amount of wool produced in Rose
bud county annually, would be two
million pounds, and the amount real
lied from this crop will average about
$500, 900.
When we stop and think of this
amount finding it's way to neighboring
towns yearly, we begin to realize
what loss it means to our business
men.
IT will be argued that the marketing
of the wool outside the county does not
necessarily mean that the money does
not come back, and it is true that some
of it does find it's way back, but the
larger portion of it never returns.
The wool season is the harvest season
of the sheep man and when he reaps
his harvest and has the cash in hand
he is very prone to commence parting
with it on the spot; gets new dress
for his wife; new furniture for tn
ranch; a new buggy and harness etc.
etc.

cause OF the lack of concerted action on
the part of the merchants of this place.
We are getting anxious to see what
improvement will accrue to the schools
of Forsyth when the present very dis
eliminating Board of Education make
suing year. Board of Education,
forsooth; there is only one of the three
that can write grammatical sentence
of ten words and we dare say that it
would trouble him to furnish the pune
tuation.
We mean this, that at least two
members of this board cannot write a
correct sentence, and we defy them to
disprove it.
These are the individuals that set
themselves up to pass upon the quail
fication of educated teachers. Were it
not for the disgust we feel, we would
be unable to suppress our mirth.
1t is quite certain that the present
ladies employed as teachers in our
| schools, would have been eminently
satisfactory but for the lack of one or
two necessary accomplishments in the
form of a good vaudeville turn of some
kind or other, a good Ozark face
speciality with a song and dance
attachment, and general in
clination to appear in the vulgar roles
Of minstrel show. All Of which ac-
complishments would have made them
eligible for service in the conglomeratc
mess of stage ''horse play which
characterizes one of Denis's minstrel
shows.
Therefore, we know what qualifica-
ton number one is. To be able and
willing to play the double role of ass
and coon. Qualification number two
will probably be, not to smile at the
poor spelling and vilely illiterate YER
bal composition OF the individual and
several members of the unfortun-
ately named Board of Education.
When these qualifications are found
to be possessed in sufficient degree by
any one looking for aposition as teach
err, we have no doubt that she will be
readily retained and will prove just as
capable, and no more so, of teaching
in the public schools as Messrs. Denis
and Muri.
We overheard Denis saying in front
5 of our Office last week: ''We Amt a
: going to have no politics in these
: schools. All we want is teachers
; that's competent" We have no doubt
that the humor of this will be appar

e for an end-man's gag in his minstre
e show; but it Amt no joke with him.

holders of the Shaw Oil, Gas and Min

recently over the sale of their lease
holdings and properties to a COM
panyof Beaumont operators for 49,
600, have come across a fly in the
ointment in the shape of damage
suit for breach of contract W. A.
Pierce is the plaintiff, and he asks for
s25, 900 and such other relief as may
seem just to the court
BY the sale consummated the
holdings of the Shaw company. con-
sisting of lease rights on 1,011 acres
lying eight miles southeast of Cha
mute, six oil wells, a pumping system.
tank house and quantity of crude oil
in storage, were transferred to Messrs.
D. r. Beatty, w. B. Skirvin and John
S. Yost. oil operators and producers
who are largely identified with the
famous Beaumont, Tex, oil field. The
consideration was s125, 900, of which
SIS 900 was in cash. The sale was
made by w. f. ConneIIey, who was
selected by the new owners to look
after their property temporarily.
Mr.. Pierce claims that on May 3 of
this year, a short time preceding the
sale to the Beaumont men, the Shaw
company. through John W. Brey-
fogle, its duly authorized agent, con-
tracted to sell the property to him for
$4,000 and entered into a written
agreement to that effect. He further
declares in his petition that he had
made arrang ements to sell the hold
ings to other parties for 100000, a
profit of $4,000, and that through
the failure of the Shaw company to
fulfill its alleged contract with him
he has been damaged in the sum of
900, and asks the court to give
a TT1cr for nat
costs Of the suit and such other relief
as may seem just.
Mr.. Pierce is interested in the
America Oil and Gas company, and
has been making his headquarters
in Chanute for some time. He took
steps to begin action as soon as the
Shaw property was sold to other DUR
chasers, but postponed fling the pa
per until the negotiations had been
entirely ratified by the contracting
parties.

TO CEASE DRILLING FOR GAS.
A ConeyviIIe Operator Brings Suit to
Restrain.

CoffeyvilIe, Kas., June 15.-Carey
H. Harris. the lucky operator who
brought in the good we'll on the Sher-
man land in Tyro, has filed a suit in
the district court against the Consoli-
dated Oil company. the New York Oil
and. Gas company, Howard & Weber,
George Dow and DOllie Dow, the lat
ter owners of a fine 160-acre farm
near Independence, to compel the
New York Oil and Gas company to
cease drilling for gas on the farm
Harris leased the farm from the pres
ent owners. Several years ago the
former owners made a lease to the
independence Gas company and were
to receive free gas if the wells were
drilled within a certain time Mr..
Harris says the wells were not drilled
in the required time, and that &C
cordingIy his lease is good and not
that of the Independence Gas com
pany.
The latter has drilled well on the
land. and Mr.. Harris says the drilling
is prejudicial to his interests, and he
wants the company restrained from
doing any more work.
