Doctor Abbott, editor of the Outlook
magazine, seems to have obtained a
great deal more notoriety than there
is reason for because Of his criticism
Of the Oklahoma state SCHOOL system.
The doctor was down this way last
winter, and was the guest of state Of
flcials: in fact was here al the request
Of one Of them. He is also a warm
personal friend OF the professor de-
posed. and therefore, may be biased
in his views But whether true or not.
the fact remains that Doctor Abbott,
like all OF us, may be trifle less than
inlallible. and The Leader fears he
has not 81, sn as much time to the
topic of Oklahoma as he should The
Leader has always denlored this rush
ing through Oklahoma by Eastern
writer's who go home and write OF con-
ditions they know nothing of and Of
men whom they have never seen. The
vast majority Of sucn writer's speak cf
our people as friends, but that does not
alter the actual truth-they are in no
manner competent to judge II would
be no more unreasonable for an okla
homa teacher to 90 TO Greater New
York. spend a day with a New YORK
teacher and return home 10 write
long article for or against said schools,
than for Doctor Abbott to attack this
state after visiting two or three teach
ers aud officials, not one of whom Is
cognizant of statewide conditions,
The reader should bear In mind that
Doctor Abbott is crusader for
changed conditions throughout the
world: that he has been the great fig-
ure i'm Eastern campaigns for better
conditions in the schools and prisons
hence we, merging two great terri
tories into one state when he was
here, could not expect great deal OF
praise. In fact. the new state has as
Vet net been ale to get her institn'
tions going according to the plans
mapped out; we are still working un-
der. in many places. the old system.
How foolish 1t would be TO surmise we

THAT Mr., Taft had to come into the
deposit guarantee camp Is believed by
his chief advisers, but when he volun-

dOrsement at the Kansas Republican
convention. then his own weak admis-
sion of lis merit has taken the life out

Cochran, Parker and Watterson will

SAMPLE CASE.

AS a sample Of tho absolute refusal
or the 81 Fe and coal trust papers to
tell the truth, let MS take the case OF
Friday mornlng when the morning
paper printed the story OF the Haskell
Flynn debate az Stroud The mail
edition OF that publication carried a
story to effect that Governor Haskell
had five or six detectives along, and
that It was his purpose 10 commit
some overt act The last edition from
which Guthrie patrons are served, did
not go that far
Why?
Because the Capital well understood
the citizens OF Guthrie, regardless Of
their political conditions. would not
approve such unfairness. II there Is n
man Of demOcrttic tastes IN the official
world today II Is Charles n. Haskell
II Is easier to get a conference with
kGovernor Haskell thanf-many of The
ffadlng, business men OF the city. and
no has as much physical courage as
| anyNwan living; in fact. Haskell knows
| not the meaning of moral or physical
fear. Ne trust captains and their
agents csn II they win, attest to the
truth of oir statement
OF course what the morning ST Fe
says OF Governor Haskell will do him
neither good or harm insofar as Okla
homa and 0klahumans are concerned,
but the stories carried abroad will
harm the social and business reputa-
| ton of the entire state
The anvil chorus papers are not ex.
pected to tell the trutb--they would
not thrive under that plaig but some
times It would seem they would have
sense enough to desire new residents.
for of those here no considerable body
will ever keep the anvil chorus Sditors
alive with legitimate patronage
