THE NEW STATE.
What is the FIRST Of the new states
Institutions?
Answer: The free common schools
thereof
From the many great purposes of a
state IN the American Union IL might
seem al first blush dinicult to sect
hat which, Is greatest, but second
tioght easily places the common
school in the forefront quite without
s competitor
The esteem in which the common
school is held by the people Of Okla
hena was sOundly tested In 1889. AS
everyone knows. the original terri.
tory was opened April p, 1889. with
out any provision being made TOR gov
ernment schools or anything else. lt
was simply opened for settlement
that was an The territorial govern
rent was not established for over q
year. or until the 2ad of May. 1890
The people. however. did not wait
for territorial OF other government TO
establish common schools. but pro-
ceeded al once 10 establish them
withOfa either "a wor assistance. In
the timber the black rack and the
posi- oak furnished the material and
on the prairie the kindly dugout fur
nished the refuge for this infant in
stitution so near 10 the hearts of the
pioneers. II would be a mistake to
suppose that there were not many
nice frame school houses built the
first year, for there were.
Edrcation then was paramount TO
the pioneer aud Il has never ceased
so TO be and never will The people
of the new state viii place the free
common school In the forefront, there
10 stay forever
Tnie as this statement may seem,
its transcendent Importance is not al
WAYS easy 10 completely recognize IN
the clash Of contending forces or fac
ilons Il should be as n star before
the blic mind and especially at
This time when the whole future
COURSE of he new states school
uust be largely determined.
The mixed nature of our population
aud all the conditions surrounding
the provisions for establishing and
maintaining these schools present a
proposition 81 large proportions and
one which viii require for its solution
an the splendid ability of the mem
hers of the FIRST legislative assembly.
The new state must stand at the
front in the matter OF its schools,
Means win be found TO put IL there
and keep II there. There caa be no

MR.. BRYAN AND THE PRESIDENT

MSny Democratic papers seem to
regret that Mr.. Bryan fayors the fed-
eral licensing of corporations and the
ultimate government ownership Of
railroads as the only sure remedy
for corporation control. They view
these remedies as the Capitalization
of all power at Washington and the
Boston Herald thinks that Mr. Bryan
Is making himself ridiculous when he
condemns the suggestion Of President
Roosevelt that corporations doing an
interstate business. particularly the
railroads, should be subject TO feder-
al Incorporation, while at the same
time Advocating the licensing of cor
porations and the government owner
ship OF those which control the traffic
OF the country As the Herald views
the matter both aim at Capitalization
for IL says For a man in the water
Up to his armpirs TO rail at one who Is
wetting his ankles" is amusing.

TEN BOY PRISONERS ESCAPE
Saw Their Way to Freedom Through
Partition from Drill Hall.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1S.-Ten boys es-
capped from the John Worthy school
Sunday night by saving a passageway
through a heavy OAK partition. The
escape was made from the drill hall, in
which 200 boys were at play.
The saw which the boys used was
made from a knife which they obtained
from the manual training room. The
tention of most of the boys and the
three guards in the hall was attracted
by an exciting game of basketball AND
only the boys in the Immediate vicinity
were aware of the escape. and they
were afraid to disclose it.
After crawling through the partition
the boys were in the engine room
which gave them passage to the play
grounds They scaled the wall of the
play grounds and dropped to the rail
road tracks below
The boys who escaped are ole
offenders Four of them were seen ir
n Halsted street restaurant later by
Detectives Clarke and McGinnis of the
Desplaines street station. They were
questioned by the policemen and al
said they had been released week be-
fore. A half an hour later the police
We're notified of the escape. but the
boys had disappeared.

GAMBLING STOPS IN ARIZONA
Legislature Absolutely Ends Public
Gambling.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb 1S-The legis-
lature passed an act absolutely prohib-
iting gambling games within Arizona
The bill was made law by Gov. Kibbey's
signature. Every member of the house
and all save two members of the coun-
Gil voted for the measure, which was
one recommended warmly in the COVER
nOr's message.
Several members opposed to the bill
voted for it because of its evident pop
ularity both in the legislature and in
the territory at large.
The gamblers accept the situation
philosophically and are preparing to
quit business April 1, when the act
takes effect.
The law has been anticipated in
Phoenix. where public gambling al
ready has stopped. in accordance with
the terms of a city ordinance lately
passed by the common council under
instruction of a large majority of the
city's voters.

the beginning Of this strike said one
of the strikers, explaining the situa
zion, lis that we only asked a raise of
one cent an hour. To many of the
platform men this sum did not seem
big enough to fight for. The result
was that they refused to leave their
jobs. At the beginning of the strike
our pickets were repeatedly told that
more of the men would have been with
us if we had asked for a raise of five
cents. During the past few days 2
large number of the working carmen
have agreed to come out provided we
made the increased demand The scale
nov demanded is % cents an hour for
the first year. 80 for the second and
60 thereafter. This is the Oakland
scale.
THE number of working car men
pledged to support this scale IS suiTi-
cient to enforce a complete tieup O.!
