United States mails must also be carried to and from the city on the free fiery without charge
 The money for the free f,r,y was subscribed several weeks ago, but owing to the fact that th- re was some differences betweea Ar. H. Stewart and w. T. McTl Id an til {, signing Of the contract was post poned to give them ample tim,. tC agree. It seems that M k Stew art has been operating a pay ferry across the Arkansas river fer sopi- months. He was operatins& the old CIesg ferry, which has beer in use here many years. Mrs C!.Agg las a franchise from the city fer ni..~t:...- nine years to operate the ferry :.nd naturally there were somo DJje ons to any effort in the direction of es. tabtshing free ferry here. It is believed that the men satisfactorily adjusted the matter.

The LINE HOUSE

The people Of Chickasha are sign.
f ing petitions 70 the commissioners Of
ICaddo county. asking that license b
refused to the Line House saloons.
A large number Of the best people
Of the city have signed the petitions
including many who are not reckoned
in the prohibition class.
1t is recognized that the line house
presents the saloon evil in its worst
form.
Even under strict police yurveil-
lance, it is difficult to have the sa-
loon business conducted according 20
law. When all police regulation is
removed, it is readily seen that the
saloon must become the center of all
disocderiy elements. the breeding
place of lawlessness and vice of all
sorts.
All this is what, they tell US line
houses have proved to be by actual
experience. That is why the best peo-
pie living in the vicinity Of them are
protesting so loudly against the IL
censing Of them.
The argument that the saloon helps
business, fallacious as it is, appeals
to some people as a reason for the
saloon. Grant its validity for the
sake Of argument and you can still
I. find no reasonable excuse for the line
house. Situated outside the limits
Of the city, heyond the jurisdiction Of
its officers, the line house can bring
no returns to the business interests Of
the city, but on the other hand, it
furnishes sink hole for hundreds Of
dollars that ought to go into legiti-
mate business channels and at the
same time is the terminating place
Of crime which costs the city money.
Booze" and crime 20 hand in
hand. You don't have to 20 far to find
an abundance Of illustrations Of this
truth. Take the so called trace riot"
in the railroad camp a week or more
ago It was found that whisky in
the camp, rotten bootleg liquor was
perhaps more responsible for it than
race feeling. Testimony showed that
nearly all the negroes were intoxicat-
ed. On the day before the negro
trouble occurred, two young men were
arrested at Alex for assault upon
an old man. They We're afterwards
released, the testimony showing that
they had provocation whisky was
the primary cause Of the trouble
If the saloon is an evil in it's best
estate, what must it become when
utterly unregulated by police officers
No wonder the people Of Chickasha
join with the good citizens in the
neighborhood Of the line houses in
against them.

The BAPTIST UNIVERSITY

The baptist denomination Of Ok
lahoma has decided to establish a
q great educational institution.
The committee in charge of the en-
terprise gives notice that it is ready
to receive propositions from towns
that want to bid for the school.
Among the cities that will contest
for the prize are Chickasha, Okla
homa City, Shawnee, Tulsa and per-
haps others
1t has been but short time since
the Christian denomination had sim
liar proposition before the people Of
the new state. Enid came to the front
with the offer Of s85,OOO for the in
stitution and she captured it. Chick
asha bid for it but she didn't bid
strong enough.
And now we have another oppor-
tunity before us and it is up to us to
begin betimes to lay plans to seize
it.
Let as remind ourselves again that
this is the accepted time" in the new
state, that the plums are being passed
around now will soon be exhausted.
The colleges like the railroads viii
soon be built and it's now or never if
we expect to get them.
Chickasha presents admirable ad-
vantages for the location Of the pro-
posed university and these viii be pre-
sented in the most forcible maner at
the proper time; but this will prob
ably be an instance in which cash will
talk strongly. chickasha viii have to
be prepared to back up her argument
with big bonus and we might as well
begin right now to lay plans with
that end in view.
No argument should be Necessary
to prove the value Of such an instit
ution either from an educational Of
from a commercial point Of view
Place a college here with four hundred
six hundred or eight hundred stud
ents and anybody can figure out wha
it would contribute to the business
growth Of the city.
And then there is another phase O
the subject which must appeal strong
" to people who have children to edu
cate How many people are there il
Chickasha who have children to whom
they expect to give the advantages 0
. college education ? For each bo
or girl that you send away to college
it would cost from $500 to $500
year. It would cost but fraction O
this amount to give the boys and girl
college education at home
It takes no lightning calculation /
figure out how It would pay peopl
who have children to educate to in
vest money in a college in Chickashs
