LOOKS LIKE CAMPBELL

JUDGE OF THE EASTERN
DISTRICT.

A telegram was received by a pri
vate citizen from Washington this
morning announcing the fact that In
all probability II. r. Campbell OF
McAlester would be appointed Judge
OF the Eastern district of the new
state of Oklahoma. but that Judge
Townsend was still considered to be
in the race. although his age was
materially against his receiving the
appointment.
The fact that the appointment of
Campbell has not been definitely
settled that Campbell will be Judge

Townsend in this city, although II
seems that the judges friends are
hoping against hope.

of statehood, the college would begin
its educational life under progress

contract for the university location
and establishment could be signed
and sealed on Nov. 10th, the date

would be the ideal time to begin
this great state work. giving the uni

fairly at all times in the matter.

was there with her bid. At the first
call at Bacone, |. r., March 9th,
Lawton was the only bidder, after
special efforts to get other cities to
submit bids September 9Th, at
Guthrie, Lawton again came forward.
Before this time the commission had
notified all cities Interested that
the matter would be settled and place
selected. At Lawton's request the
commission was invited to view and
inspect the site offered and both
Lawton and Chickasha We're given

proposition. Our informant states that
other cities cannot expect the dele
gates TO be so unfair as to recog-
nize any proposition now from them
after other bids and plans have been
made known. and after having beer
urged at former times to come for
ward fairly as Lawton did with bids.
As to postponing the matter the dele
gates say that it will not be
done, first, because Lawton's bid has
been accepted unanimously by this
OF able, worthy men, and
because to postpone It would smack
OF unfalrness and would not be act
ing in good faith with the cities that
came forward as the commission re-
auested and also. that Lawton's bid
and inducements are more than the
Baptists anticipated and the location
for general reasons an ideal one.

LIQUOR LAWS IN NORWAY.
Private Profit Eliminated-Consum
ton of Alcohol Decreased.

FROM the chicago Tribune.
New Norwegian liquor laws are success
full. The Sondag system gives power to mu-
inequalities to grant all the retail spirit IL
censes which they deem necessary to a
company which would bind itself to carry
on the traffic in the interests of the COM
munity. with fixed annual return of not
more than per cent on its paid up capital.
In establishing the system the question of
compensation does not appear to have pre-
scented much difficulty. The allotments of
the profits are follows: To the state, IS
per cent to the municipality. in lieu of
larger license duties, now abolished, 10 per
cent. and to objects of public utility oper-
ating counter attractions to the public
houses in towns, 10 per cent, and in the
surrounding districts, 10 per cent.
The profits of the trade under these re-
strctions have contributed $1,000 600 for OBJ
jects of public interest since the founding
of the system. During the last eight years
the proportion accrung to the state has
been increased and set apart till 1910 to
form the nucleus of an. old age pension
fund, which now amounts to s.. 300 900. The
most remarkable fact in the history of Nor
way sobriety is that the consumption OF
alcohol per inhabitant has decreased about
45 per cent in the last fifty years. The de-
crease has been most marked since the es-
tablishment of the Sondag system.
The aims and principles of the Sonda e
system are these The elimination of pri,
vate profit and securing the monopoly value
for the public; insuring highest quality OF
liquors sold the reduction of the number OF
licenses: the easy enforcement of the law;
the destruction of the power of the spirit
trade, and the furtherance of all progress.
i've measures of reform.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE AVENUE
CHANGES TO BE MADE WILL BE
MUCH APPRECIATED.
Elevation of the Crown of the Road
way-Raising the Tracks-Crea-
ton of Two Triangles.

1--WE have The Star very largely to thank
for the much-needed and gratifying i'm
provement OF Pennsylvania avenue" said
a large property owner on this thorough
fare, and wien it is completed the change
will be so marked that all who observe
1t will wonder that 1t was not undertaken
years ago
That the wornout, disintegrating as
phalt sheet was not torn up long ago was
due to a variety OF reasons. which we are
now willing to forget with the bright
prospect of a really new and suitable pave
ment upon the capitals principal traffic
artery. After sixteen years OF faithful
service the old surface will have passed
into mere memory. ana when the visiting
troops at the next Inauguration tread upon
the nations parade ground II viii be upon
a surface which will make marching a de-
light.
The work on the north side OF the ave-
nue. is progressing rapidly. and the grade
of the car tracks has been raised To the
requisite height up TO as far as 18th street.
The casual observer will no doubt wonder
how the tracks, imbedded In adamantine
concrete, are elevated. 1t ls a very slow and
tedious process, but very interesting from
the spectator S point of view. and IL Is done
with jack screws operated by hand-power.
The making of small triangle with
granite coping around the Franklin statue
on the north side between 10th and nth
streets and also one of similar size on the
same side between Sth and 9th streets Is
a happy idea. In the former instance the
sidewalk, which projected into the street
about dozen feet has been set back to
the curb line of ID street, which will make
an adequate driveway between the statue
and the new curb line. A similar widening
of the carriageway has been made between
Ith and Sth streets on the north side. Both
of the newly made triangles in question Will
be of sufficient size to admit of the making
of small lawns and will present to the eye
far more attractive appearance at these
intersections than a sheet of bare asphalt.
"Inasmuch as the new triangle at 10th
street will have the Franklin statue as
centerpiece. 1t would not be inappropriate
to place a small spraying fountain in the
one at Sth street, after the pattern OF the
bell-shaped spray in the triangle at the
intersection of the avenue and 18th street.
With the installation of small fountain
at the suggested point there would be four
fountains along the thoroughfare between
Sth and 14th streets.
There are still several vacant spaces on
either side of the avenue which should be
planted with young trees. and no doubt
when the new curbing is set this matter
will receive attention. Several of the young
trees set out season or so ago have died,
t-and by reason of the planting having been
done at different periods the tree line on
both sides is not regular as the critical
observer would wish. If this matter be
given attention at the present time, how
ever 1t will be but few years before the
foliage will be abundant"
