The Game Should Have Been
Mation's But Fate Had Decreed
Otherwise.

A large crowd assembled at TIN
rink last evening to witness a hard
fought game of polo in which the
locals lost by the score of seven to
five. Coshocton Bull Dogs were the
opponents, and their work was so fast
at times as to completely sweep the
locals off their feet. The game
throughout was fast and furious and
not a few brilliant plays we're made
by both teams.
Marion should have won the game
despite the brilliant work of the op-
ponents. The locals showed excep-
tional strength in defensive work;
big half back McGrath starring as
usual. On the offense, however, the
rushes showed a weakness and re-
peatedly lost the ball i'm the enemies
territory when 1t should have been
Gagged.
The losing streak is bound to come
TO an end soon. The team has been
unfortunate in way but no real
excuse can be given for the continued
slump. Captain Deyln has an
nounced that there will be shake up
as soon as certain players who have
been expected for some time, put in
their appearance.

oHlcKAsHA HAs sTREEr ARAes

When we see rude, uneouth, i'm
pudent boy imposing upon other boys
or upon men and women, as we have
seen Of late, our heart goes out in
genuine sympathy for the poor unfor
tnate.
We are led TO this mention through
few days observation of boys on or
main streets. There are three certain
boys, sometimes a fourth one Is with
them, who make life a burden to citi-
zens at time, through their free use Of
obscene, vulgar expressions and braA-
en- impudence And they do not stop
at repulsiye mouthings that would do
justice to the little unfortunate 70
the slum districts Of the cities They
at time indulge IN acts that are calcu-
lated to do injury TO man and beast
A few days since a lady was driving
along one Of our principal thorough
fares when a firecracker was thrown
by one of these boys landing near her
horse, and because she demonstrated
with them a second one was thrown
and exploded Immediately under the
horse.
Their acts Of pilfering are bold and
almost every store in town has been
visited by them in the pretense Of
pricing goods. Yesterday at one Of the
grocery stores on lower Chickasha ave
nue. one Of them rolled watermelon
of the walk, which stands several
feet above the level Of the street and
another caught it and was just in the
act Of making off with it when he was
made to drop it by shouts from a
butchershop on the opposite side
These little rascals one Of them not
so very little eiher, should be given to
understand that they must behave
themselves or keep off the streets
A little police vigilance and discipline
might help the boys to behave them
selves and at the same thine result
in lasting good TO them and theil
parents

School Land Question.

Tom McNeal Of the Farmers Mail
and Breeze Of Topeka, writes as fol-
lows on Oklahomas school lands.
Oklahoma is debating the question
Of selling the school lands or holding
them for lease. We presume that Ok
lahoma will sell the lands, but in time
the people will find out that they have
made mistake
Let US figure a little on the exper-
ience Of Kansas Originally there
were set aside two sections OF land in
each township for the support Of the
common schools. Kansas has an area
OF sl,7OO square miles There are in
the state all told 2,269 townships and
ABB sections Of school lands. It is
age value of these lands is $4,O0 per
certainly a conservative estimate at
the present time to say that the aver
age value Of these lands is $4,000 per
quarter or $4,000 per section. If the
new state now owned this land it
would be worth a at conservative es
innate $72,6OS,OOO. What magnif-
cent endowment for the common
schools Of the state. At an average
rental Of ST. per acre the revenue from
this land would amount to$2 904, 800
per annum There are about 500
school districts in the state Of Kansas
and this revenue from school lands
would furnish an average Of 1854 per
annum for each school district.
According to the last biennial re-
port Of the state superintendent Of
public instruction there was paid out
for teachers wages and supervision
Of schools in thestate Of Kansas dur
ing the year 1906, s4ll7274 If the
state owned the lands originally gran
ted for the support Of the schools
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1908-07-01

the revenue would pay nearly two
thirds OF this bill. An everage rental
Of s. per acre would pay more than
half the annual expenditures in the
etate for teachers wages, buildings,
repairs, fuel lights, and all other items
Of expense in keeping up the schools.
Take look at your school tax re-
ceipts and you are apt to find that
your school taxes are the bigger half
Of all the taxes you have to pay.
If the state Of Kansas had been wise
enough to keep her lands instead of
fooling them away her school taxes
would have been cut down more than
one half
1t is safe to say that if the state
of Kansas now owned is school lands
and rented the same at moderate
rental the revenue derived therefrom
would be at least nine times as great
as the revenue now derived from the
permanent school fund And what Sc
curity could be safer than these
lands? Bonds of the best Of corpora
tions or of the most solvent of muni-
cipalities may become worthless.
Towns have sprung up and flourished
for a time and issued bonds that
seemed good enough. Afterward
adversely struck the town and it faded
from the map. OF caurse the bonds
became worthless. The state school
fund has generally been honestly man
aged, but nevertheless there are tens
OF thousands Of worthless bonds held
by that fund right now.
Oklahoma will make a mistake to
sell her school lands.

The trustbusters are lining UP be-
hind Taft and Utica.
J. Ogden Armour, the great toller
in the pork yards, has after consult.
alton with the other pig stickers, un-
Qualifiedly endorsed Mr Taft and has
expressed himself as being satisfied
with the platform Of the party which
ratified the anti-trusts platform at
Chicago. Mr.. Armour is also in this
case spokesman for Swift Morris and
the fellow who drive pigs to mar
kets.
The trusts which raise melons,
gooseberries, peaches, lemons, etc,
for the poor devils like Armour to
haul in fruit refrigerator cars may
not like the Taft propaganda, but
those fellows who pull the cars from
their Partisan summer gardens and
their tasks at Naples in the winter
season are, for once, to have some
privileges over those who lay around
in the shade al Rocky Ford, Fresno
and other famed resorts and live off

Another labor leader, Mr. Flagler,
who is building a railroad from Key
West to Cuba, through the Gulf
Of Mexico, has expressed his
complete satisfaction with the ticket
named at Chicago, and has SO an
nounced. Mr.. FIagler is now working
at home, preparing a little yacht
which he will fish in this winter.
The boat is a cheap one to cost but
s6,OOOO00 when finished, and we were
for a time fearful that he and his
union would be afraid the Chicago
platform was inadequate for the oc-
casion
But he is right in line and we are
going to make John Mitchell, Comp
ers and those other trustheads get
under cover just once
AS a trustbusting party we feared
Mr.. Taft might be doubtful, but when
the ice toilers handed in shermans

are therefore not surprised that great
toilers are expressing theih satisfac
tlon with the ticket-Guthrie Leader
