cITY FINANCES.

In the conduct Of the affairs Of a
city. gross negligence, lack of proper
Judgment and apparent disregard for
the welfare of the city's financial
needs" would seem to be, and is,
grave charge to lay at the door of the
'old gang" of city exploiters. but it is
abundantly backed up by the records
and conditions.
substantiating the general charge
with specific cases, DR.. Hixon and Mr..
Wells, Of the present finance commit
tee. after showing that the shortage
ia cash in the treasury was over $l5,-
GOO. say that their statement is made
painfully apparent by the old council
voting 30 new street lights ON the in
coming administration, when they
should have known that by doing 50
the full levy Of IL mills would be
exhauS4ed and the fund overdrawn at
the end OF the fiscal year to the extent
Of something over $1,000"
Such actions are not consistent with
prudent management and either dis
play woeful ignorance or wilful derelic-
tion Of duty. There Is no escape from it..
Lights for example are a good thing
to have but they must be paid for, and
paid for in money at that Let there
be no mistake about it. This thing
OF paying debts by warrants on the
treasury IS snare and pitfall for the
unwary. It simply means that some
other year we shall have to pay for
the lights Of that year and pay up the
deficit made this year. why not pay
the expense Of each year as we go
along?
The matter Of piling up expense and
trying to wreck the finances of the city
after election and before the new ad-
ministration came into control, dis
closes the animus Of the affair. II
shows how dearly they loved the city
and how much they wished that the
incoming administration might pros.
per under the shadow OF these noun.
tains Of folly. good evidences Of the
selfish political venom that was the
father Of the deed.
But If the matter could have ended
there and the whole council Joined
hands to remedy the mistakes OF the
past. the new administration could
have had a free hand to set about
remedying the mistakes and misman
agement OF the past, but now comes
Councilman Walker and his obstruc
tionists and seek to block the efforts
of Mayor Duke and the council in theii
efforts to give this city a good GOV
ernment and economic financial admin
istratiOn.
II Is duty these obstructionists owe
TO themselves and the city to sto!
kicking and roaring about their indi
yidusl sore spots and defeated ambi
tions and lend a hand for unity, pros
perity and progress along conserya
tive lines.

CROPS SHOW DECREASE
According to Bulletin Issued
by Agricultural Depart
ment at Warrington.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, May 1.-THE weekly
crop bulletin issued by the weather bu-
reau says
Throughout the central and southern
Rocky Mountain district the week end
ing May s was abnormally cool and
moist. Freezing temperature extended
southwark to the central portions Of
Arizona and New Mexico, with frost
and snow jr .he central and northern
Rocky Moug in regions. Excessive
rains hindered work in the middle
Rocky Mountain region. Rain is now
needed in portions Of Kansas and on
the north Pacific coast.
Winter wheat is now heading as far
north as the southern portion of Kan
sas. The general condition of this
crop continues highly favorable in the
states east Of the Rocky Mountains, al
though some reports OF injury by rust
are received from Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. On the Pacific coast
winter wheat continues promising, al
though some unfavorable reports re
specting low land wheat are received
from Oregon and recent heavy rains
and high winds caused lodging to some
extent in California. In Colorado and
on the northern Pacific coast, the con
dition Of the spring wheat crop is
promising.

THAT DREADFUL Ex.
pAN

ANIMATION DAY.
While the small boy and girl in the
city schools are uuaking about exam
nations and promotions they have in
their teacher one VINO knows how it
feels and quite capable OF sympathiding
with them completely. The city exam
nations for teachers is now coming on
apace and liay 81 and June / and ..
will be inter ssting days for aspiring
young teacher3 and for older ones, too,
whose certificates expire this year
OF course every teacher must be able
to pass satisfactory examinations and
show proper familiarity with books
before entering upon her duties, but
there is so much that goes to make up
good teacher, that one may after all
question whether the examination can
reach the real elements In a teacher
which make her capable Of taking mold
Of the attention of the child and
touching the emotions, intellect and
will by holding out the proper incen-
tiyes for effort.
The teachers work in leading young
minds out into the great wonderland
of knowledge and securing for them
that mental discipline which in after
years will enable them to successfully
apply themselves to the problems Of
business, professional or home life, is
indeed a very great one and charged
with the most grave responsibilities
and full Of the greatest possibilities.
SO that the real proof Of the teach
er is in the school and her cal ceti-
fcate of qualification the child. whose
education she has directed. Wise super
intendents know this and are much
more inclined to look to results in the
school room than upon the examination
papers. But none Of these considera-
tons ever quite take away that gone
feeling that comes over teacher and
pupils alike on the dreadful examina-
tion day.

Down Miss Malinda" The audience
encoicd him and many expressions of
praise were gwen MN.

It is a little queer that the news
paper boys outside of Guthrie and Ok
lahoma City never proved by the Bible
that both of them we're sick. There is
text that runs somehow after this
fashion: He that is not sick hath no
need Of a physician" Both Guthrie
and Oklahoma City elected physicians
to the mayoalty. Ego, these villages
are sick.

Solemn truths are often told in jest.
The following is an old but good fable.
"A tramp met a noted trust magnate
and accosted him Familiarity with, "Hel-
10 pard." Don't be so familiar" said
the trust inagnate haughtily you and
! don't belong to the same class. 3"
That's where you are on, pard," said
the tramp. "We are both on the same
line. only you are worhn the public
at one end Of the line and / at the
other. Both Of us are dead beats and
grafters, the difference between you
and me bein' that / am honest enough
TO own up 10 il and you amt" The
province Of good government should
be to do away with these two extremes
Of society as much as possible, raising
the lower strata up and holding in
check the wealthy branches who would
soon absorb the substance OF the peo-
pie

No heather should look therein
Its chaste marmoreal beauty rare

Where precious jewels are ranged,
A memory each: as you raise the lld
You think you love again as you did

How | should tremble day after day,
As / touched with golden key,
Lest aught in that heart were changed, or
say
That another had stolen one though away
And it did not open to me.

As heart so loving and true, -
As a heart that / held with a golden spell,

In hope of the recOmpense there; yea, even

American Woman a Flirt.

The American woman is postmaster
in the art of Irritation" declared Toya-
kichi lyenaga in a lecture at the Uniyer-
sity of Chicago. "She studies all her life
TO tiirt, and to win love and money. The
Japanese woman, on the other hand, has
a higher moral sense than the japanese
man."
DIR. lyenaga resents the American ac-
cusation of the immortality OF the geisha
girls. AS far as they are concerned. y
he said, they have no thought of indeli-
cacy in their dancing. 1t is their bust
ness to entertain. Westerners are too
lhasty when they judge japanese women
by the geiShaS"
The japanese women" he said.
though strictly confined to their house
holds, are willing slaves. 1t is their wish
to be self-sacrhcing. Until the coming
of Buddhism it was the women who
made Japan's first literature. Until then
there was no such great differences be-
tween the sexes as now exists"
According to DIR. Iyenaga, marriage
ought to be pleasure in Japan. for there
the men never have to sit up at night
with some squalling baby. The women
do that"
