The last session of the old city
council was lengthy. Most of the
time was consumed by discussion
which to laymen appeared somewhat
irrelevant, incompetent and immat-
terial. 1t would not have seemed the
same council had not "the Watchdog
of the treasury" Mr.. Peirsol, raised
his never-ending distractions, which
he did on several matters with all the
customary eclat, pomp and ceremony.
Mr.. North came in close second to
Mr.. Peirsol in the race of sweetness
long drawn out" with the result that
it was past midnight before ex-Mayor
Reeder was given the opportunity to
"welcome the coming, and speed the
parting guests" The subject which
so worried the minds of Mr.. Peirsol
and Mr.. North was ancient history,
the matter of the additional cost Of
the sewerage system, which was set
tied satisfactorily and approved and
disposed of months ago, by the same
city council. of which Mr.. Peirsol and
Mr.. North were members. The un-
called-for delay and dilly-dallying
looked as if Mr.. Peirsol were hitting
out at random in a desire for revenge
for the awful "sit,in' down on"
which he received at the late election.
At any rate. the "innocent bystand-
er" got the worst of it--as usual.

RANK PARTISAN WORK
FRENZIED ATTEMPT AT GRAB
FROM CITY STRONG BOX.
Good Work Of Hawley, Rumley, Cupp
and Hatch Prevent Democrat from
Unrestricted Entrance to
Tulsa Treasury

Partisanship and insincerity mark
cd the only action of a majority of
the Democratic members of the new
city council at its first meeting last
night. Within thirty seconds after
the new members were sworn in, Coun-
Gilman Randolph, with nervous fer
vor, moved that the Tulsa Daily DEM
ocrat be made the official city paper.
The motion was seconded with like
haste by another Democrat and the
question was put by Mayor Mitchell.
Councilmen Hawley and Rumley sug-
gested that partisanship be laid aside,
and the council conduct the affairs of
The city in businoss-like manner, and
insisted that the city printing be CIV
en- to the lowest responsible bidder
Mr.. Rumley amended Randolph's mo-
tion that as a matter Of economy The
city printing be let to the lowest bid
der. On roll call the amendment was
tied, Randolph, Yeager and Belt vot-
ing no, and Rumley, Hawley and Cupp
aye, Hatch passing. Mayor Mitchell,
stating that while he favored economy,
did not think it entered in the Ques-
tion at issue, voted no defeating
the amendment. On the original mo-
ton, Randolph, Yeager and Belt vot-
ed AYE" Rumley, Hawley and Cupp
mo-" When Mr.. Hatch's name was
called he turned to the mayor and
asked:
do I understand, Mr.. Mitchell,
that this resolution carries with it the
understanding that the city printing
is to be given to the lowest bidder"
"Yes, that's the way of it, an
swered the mayor.
Then I vote aye" said Mr..
Hatch.
The proceeding was rushed through
in frenzy of hurry, the mayor and
Democratic members, barring Mr..
Hatch, acting as if they feared Coun-
Gilman Mathewson would jump in
from Washington before they got
through. 1t was as rank play Of
partisanship as ever was perpetrated,
and palpably proved the insincerity
of the newly elected legislators in
their economy" yelping during the
recent city election. Had it not been
for the careful parliamentary work
of the Republican aldermen, assisted
by Mr.. Hatch, the Democrat would
have been given a key to the city's
strongbox, with the privilege to dip
as deep and as often as it might
please. As it is, the Democrat may
prove to be in the same box with
one of Opie Read Judges who, as
the result of a political campaign,
missed the Office, but kept the title,

Smyrna times., 1906-07-04

Smyrna is to be congratulated on its
fine public school system. The COM
mencement exercises just closed
brought before the public consider
able meritorious effort in finely writ
ten essays and musical training, all of
which reflected great deal upon the
Faculty of the schools. Principal Bur-
dette and Vice Principal Pontz, who
direct to large extent the policy of
the schools, are well fitted for their po-
sitions and their able and conscientious
administration has developed the stan
dard to a marked degree and in this
they have been greatly assisted by the
excellent corps of teachers. Smyrna
has reason to be proud of its schools.
One feature that has been brought out
to a remarkable extent is the develop
ment of music as part of the curricu-
lum of the schools. This innovation
has been largely due to the efforts of
Vice Principal Pontz who is we'll fitted
to drill the pupils. He has taken per-
sonal interest in this department and
the training they have received was
demonstrated to the delight of large
audience Commencement night.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
DR.. WiIey's Idea of the Farmers PO-
sitiOn In Its Manufacture.

In discussing the possibilities of de-
natured alcohol DIR. H. Wiley, chemist
of the department of agriculture, says
in Rural. New Yorker that practically
all of the alcohol made in the United
States ut the present time is made
from Indian corn. The most abundant
source of alcohol after Indian corn is
probably the potato. either the Ordi-
nary white, the sweet or the yam.
This is crop grown in great abun-
dance in almost all parts of the United
States, while in some localities eSpe-
cially favorable conditions are obtain
ed for the growth of the pOtato-for
instance, in the northern part of
Maine, in Colorado and many other
places. Imperfect, broken or bruised
potatoes can be very profitably used
for alcohol making where the sound
and well formed potatoes would bring
more money by direct sale.
For denaturing alcOhOl-that is. max
ing it unfit for drinking-the addition
of from to per cent of crude wood
alcohol is very efficient. This pro-
duceS a spirit known as methylated
spirit. To make the concoction still
more bitter there is often added a
chemical compound known as pyridine,
which dissolves readily in alcohol and
imparts to it an intensely bitter and
unpalatable taste.
DR. Wiley strongly advises the farm
ers Of this country not to undertake
the manufacture of alcohol. To do
this successfully requires a thorough
knowledge of the chemistry of the
process and a high degree of technical
skill. The successful practice of the
future, he thinks, will consist in the
establishment Of central distilleries in
good locality accessible to the farm
ers who will furnish the raw material
for manufacture.
Smyrna times., 1906-07-04

The Opera House management is
coming in for large share of criticism
for the bad conduct and the manner in
which the seating is done when a per-
formance is on. Despite the request
of Vice-Principal Pontz at the recent
Commencement exercises that no one
shall be seated when any person or
persons were taking part on the stage,
the ushers paid but little attention to
the orders and seated them as the oc-
'oasion demanded. 1t is said that some
parties were even seated while Rev.
DIR. Watt was offering prayer. This
should not be done. The ushering
business needs to be regulated and it
ie the business of the Opera House
Management to see that rules should
be made regulating the duties of ushers
and properly enforced The order at
the Opera House is another matter
that needs attention. The buzzing
and talking became so pronounced
while the Quartette was singing that
one of the members had to call for or
der before they could proceed. The
Opera House management seem very
lax in their duties in this respect. Of
ficers should be stationed in both of
the galleries and main floor and see to
it that quietness remains supreme
when performance is on the stage.
These may seem little things but they
grow big in the estimation of the pub
lie. Those who go to hear and to be
edited by the entertainment, have a
right to ask that order is kept and it is
the duty of the Town Council aud the
Opera House management to see that
the rules of the hall are strictly en-
forced.

Know What They Are After.

A feature of European stock breed
ing operation which has been of untold
value to her people is the well defined
aim or purpose which every successful
breeder has in mind at all times. These
men are not breeding at random with
the hope of getting an occasional good
animal. Each successful man has a
very clear idea of the type of animal
which he wishes to produce. and he
never stops short of getting the same.
Even when he has reached his original
ideal he is not satisfied, but seeks to
do even better work in the future. BY
a large and successful breeder of live
stock the European people do not mean
a man who owns a large number of
animals, but the man who succeeds in
annually producing a high percentage
of meritorious animals.-W. ]. Ken

The Most Degraded.

The California Indians who used to-
inhabit the Santa Barbara islands are
described by the missionaries as the
most degraded Of all human beings,
with a morality lower than that of ami
mails. Insects, especially grasshoppers,
formed a portion of their food, and,
like the natives of the adjacent main
land, they probably fed to a great ex-
tent on the larger kinds of earth
worms. Possibly they belonged to the
Shoshonean stock of the mainland.
Their determination is attributed to
the changed conditions Of existence i'm
posed upon them by the missionaries.

The fact that good thing is never
wasted on the public is strikingly il
Illustrated by the increasing popularity
of "Ihe Philadelphia Record" True
merit is always appreciated if backed
by enterprise, whether it be in cake
Of soap or in a newspaper. The
spurious article, or the one that is not
up in competitive standard is soon
left behind in the race for popular
favor.
There are older newspapers than
<'The Record" and papers that have
shot upward like skyrockets, with a
fash of ephemeral brilliancy, only to
come down again like charred sticks.
But "The Record" has advanced
steadily and irresistably year by year
since 80 years ago it set the pace as the
pioneer one cent paper of America.
Since then it has never retrograded; it
! has never even stood still, and to-day
its circulation exceeds that of any
other newspaper published in the State
of Pennsylvania, with an influence that
IS felt all over the country.
Continued success is never accidental.
1t is possible TO. stumble into luck as
one stumbles into a hornets nest, with
just about as much chance of winning
out in the end. But luck has never
entered into the success of "The Re-
cord" That success has been due to
keen instinct directed toward the pub
lie mind, an ability to see at a glance
what the public wanted in the way of
= reZsraper, and then to supply that
Want. ''The Record has never at
tempted to force down the public's
throat style of journalism that was
inherently distasteful to it,
We congratulate the management of
F'The Record" on its adherance to
these principles that have marked the
papers entire career, as we'll as upon
the excellent business methods that
have the confidence and esteem of it's

In little while the Republican Party

They have reason to believe and just y
so, that they were badly treated by the
Republicans of the Delaware Senate;
and they will lose no opportunity to
express themselves at the polls in no
uncertain tones against any man or
men who betrayed their trust and con-
fdence. The Local Option advocates
have only asked that the Legisla-
ture allow them to put the question
squarely before the people. This
is right and American and for
this reason it is advisable that
candidates be chosen this Fall

of the people.
