THEFT OF EXAMINATION PAPERS

We cannot condemn too severely
the disgraceful sale of tho vo.,
Virginia questions TO teachers in
advance of the examination Tho
criminal who stole these uuostio,-
should be punished to the fullest
extent; also the teachers who were
INSCRIPTIONS enough to deceive tho
school officials in this way. n il
OF the highest Importance that We
nave not only teachers of abilit,.
nut OF the highest type Of charac.nr
such theft works hardship upr,,
the children and l. unfair TO tba
honest teacher as well. DoubtIoee
some teachers We're given high grade
certificates who were not entitled to
the lowest grade. While it would
be considerable hardship upon tho
honest teacher and the school OFF,
cials, but we believe the ONLY proper
course is to hold another examina-
ton. 1t will be impossible to ascer-
tain how many teachers stole their
way through the examination. and
the only way TO rid the public of
these impOsters is to put them to
another test when no opportunity
WILDE given for a repetition of this
offense. The state cannot AFFORD to
allowan one who would cheat upon
their own examination teach her
youth. Every precaution should be
taken to prevent a recurrence of
this matter. such as requiring the
printing house to give bond condi-
toned for the proper safe guard OF
the examination papers. In this case
the wrong was chargeable to the
printer and the teacher who pur-
chased his stolen goods. But the
ofticials can take care in future TO
hold the printing house responsible
that only trustworthy men will be
placed in charge of the printing.

trace that would assist in finding the
missing man.
Mr., Peyton says that when Mr..
Cornstubble left home, he told his
family that he was going about two
miles across the Washita river to buy
some seed oats It is learned that he
went to this place and rode on to the
little town Of Wayne and later in the
day to Purcell where he put his horse
up at the OK wagon yard He rode
away the same day and the next morn
ing, Friday, his horse was brought
back to the same wagon yard by par
ties who had found it straying loose.
Mr.. Peyton was in Purcell Monday
and he learned that Cornstubble had
offered to sell horse there last Thurs
day. He was also told that an insane
person had been arrested in Chicka-
sha and was advised to come here and
investigate, which he did. His infor-
nation was wrong on this point as no
person Of the kind had been seen here.

THINKS TIA WINNER
G. N Ellis Says Chickasha will Move
Rapidly in Next Year.

Il believe that Chickasha win inn
prove more in the next year than it
has in the past FIVE"

vile theatre which has Just opened

whereof he speaks.
Mr. Ellis thinks that Chickssha is
one Of the best theatre towns in the
country and his theatre here is here
to stay. The present house will be
used only temporarily. Other and
better quarters will be secured in a
very little while. As Mr.. Ellis said,
I'VE are figuring with parties on
building US a suitable house and
think it will be on Kansas avenue.
Mr.. Ellis is putting in theatres in
Shawnee and also at Sulphur Springs
and intends tc have a circuit Of his
own. He does his own booking and
secures only the best of attractions.
In addition to all these things Mr..
Ellis win open and manage a summer
amusement park in chickasha during
the coming season. Plans for it are
already under way and he says that
it is an assured fact, no hot air con-
nected with it.
Said Mr.. Ellis, "before coming to
Chickasha ! took the trouble to as.
sure myself that it was comany and
growing town. absolutely know that
the street railway will be built for !
have assurances from its hackers that
It will Be and also that the material
has been purchased" Mr.. Ellis is
very enthusiastic over the outlook for
his particular business as well d
the outlook for Chickasha.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 29-The pro-
posed constitutional plank, known as
the Jim Crow measure, was sub
mitted to the constituon makers when
they assembled yesterday for the last
week for which they win receive pay.
The provision embodies the senti-
ment Of the railroad committee in the
following words:
Common carriers shall provide
equal but separae coaches and wait
ing rooms for sons Of Africa descent
and the legislature is hereby author
lied to enact the necessary laws and
provide necessary penalties to carry
this provision into effect"
It Is the intention Of the democratic
leaders to adopt the report in the COM
mittee Of the whole and then submit il
to President Roosevelt before taking
action.
The liquor traffic committee did not
report yesterday A poll Of delegates
shows 40 for constitutional provision; /;
"a for separate submission; 50 for lo-
cal option and scattering. The re-
port that is ready to be submitted Is a
compromise between the constitutional
provision admirers and the separate
submission men. If the separate sub
mission men fail to win on the FIRST

tutional provision and some will 20

TRADE KEEPS BRISK
The Usual Let-Up after Christmas not
noticed BY Merchants.

The usual drop off IN tradS with
most lines Of merchandise, after the
Christmas holidays has not been very
noticeable this year with our mer-
chants.
Said Mr.. +. D. Lemon, this morn
ing, @it is remarkable how trade has
kept up this year after Christmas; Of
course there is little decrease in the
volume Of business but it is not near
" 50 noticeable as it has been hereto
fore. We have enjoyed an unusually
good business ever since Christmas
and believe other merchants can say
the same thing"
