That the people of chickasha
appreciate their schools and the
young people who are sent forth
from them was amply demonstrat-
ed by the large audience and the
interest manifested in the third
annual commencement Of the high
school last evening. Three young
people. the class being much small

of study and were sent forth on
life's voyage" armed with diplomas
and equipped with the knowledge
and training that their studies had
given them.
The exercises were held in the
Christian church. the use Of which
was generously donated after an
apparent misunderstanding had de-
prived the school Of the Methodist
church at the LAST moment. In
spite ofthe sudden change in plans
and the inconvenience incident
thereto, .ns program for the even
ing was successfully carried out
and It i,s safe to say tnat no class
was ever graduated under more
pleasing circumstances or acquitted
itself with more credit than that
OF 1906. The orations were replete
with good thought, finely express

ed. Music was the handmade of
religion "When the morning
stars sang together, the new born
creation started on its journey with
a song" The oration was clever

phrases, with a pleasing touch Of
wit and humor, and was spoken in
a clear forcible manner.
Albert Hendrix, the second
speaker. chose for his subject,
Robert Z. Lee" and handled it in
a mander that showed intimate
acquaintance with the life and
character of the great Southern
leader. He followed the career
of Lee and paid a high tribute TO
him as soldier and citizen Lee
was not only a great general but
also a great man. No purer life
was ever lived than that of Lee.
Lee was opposed TO secession but
when his state called he was loyal
to Virginia and to principle, refus-
ed the command of the union armies
and took mp the Southern cause.
Lee was in a class by himself, his
life combining virtue, power aud
charm in war and peace. The or.
.ation was devoid of excessive or

showed much originality.
Miss Anne Isabel Westbrook,
valedictorian Of the class spoke on
According to merit" Measured
by hopes and desires the class had
done little but measured by begin

were the elements Of achievement.
Merit was knowing how TO do.
Victory won at the price of ali that

involved more than gold, going in.
to the deepest recesses Of the soul
The work of the present was Of
paramount importance and all labor

Asks County Judges for InfOrma- =

The foil wing is copy of letter
which Senator Fulton is sending to
County Judges in various parts of Ore
gon. with a view to collecting data with
which to carry on his fight against the
repeal OF the timber and stone act,
unless the committee will yield to him
in his demand that 25 per cent of the
money received from the sale OF timber
shall be turned over to the counties 10
| which such timber may be cut;
"At an early date l expect the COM
mittee on public lands of the Senate to
recommend repeal of the timber and
stone act. with the purpose of leaving
the timbered public domain 80 that it
cannot be acquired by private individ-
usls. The effect of such legislation, as

velopment of any of our timbered land

The state Printers EmoIuments.

1t would seem that campaign 10
the nomination OF Republicans. wagee
among Republicans, by Republican
candidates, should at least he free to q.
full an extent as possible from those
little ways Of the p-ttfogger, OF the
demagogue, and the cheap politician
One ct the candidates for nomination
for the office OF state printer, however,
publishes circular letter which is both
unjust and untrue. at least In It's infer
ence, and which carries with it reflec-
ton on the past administration of that
office which is unworthy Of any man
who asks the suffrage of the people and
expects their charitable consideration
and should have II, when his term OF
Office might come to expire.
He says IN this letter that the state
printing office els the means Of extract
ing large sums Of money from the treas
ury for which the people OF Oregon get
no equivalent benefit" and further says
that he pledges himself to great re-
duction in the enormous cost of the Of
foe if elected as state printer.
The gentleman making this campaign
has had political experience in the past
and has served several years at the
capitol building in position of more or
less trust and honor. He knows, there
fore, that the state printer performs
simply the work demanded of him by
the various officials OF the state, and
that he does no work that has not for it's
warrant authority Of law. He knows
also that the emoluments of the Office
come through properly audited chan
nels, and that the amount that he shall
receive for his pay is reported to the
auditing officers by an expert printer
appointed by the chief executive, who
measures every line Of work done by
the state printer. The law 6xes the
amount Of possible charge 1t provides
how mu,h the printer shall receive for
his work. A etate printer could ask no
more than the law allows and certainly
the people do not expect him to en-
deavor to collect less than the law al
lows for his services.
The man who has made himself
candidate knows very we'll that he
could in no wise reduce the expenses of
that Office uDless he did it through re-
Iusing to accept his own just pay or
through doing cheap, and. therefore,
lnsats sfactory work for the state. The
printer does not fix the amount of print
ng. He does not provide what blanks
,r books shall be used by the various
officers snd state boards. The
ntimation in this mans circular letter
hat he can reduce the expenses of this
,ffic, he we'll knows is based on no
ound foundation. The people are too
wise to be mised by any sucn promise.
