Icy Neil Humphrey, county superin-

rey says in kis circular letter:
ITO the school boards OF Oklahoma:
You are hereby advised that on the
3lst day OF August. 1908. the district
court of Logan county hsld that sec.
iion of the new separate school law
was unconstitutional and void. Under
This decision The matter stands as
though no such bin had been passed
in districts where the two separate
races met in different places and elect
cd two boards The matter stands rs
though no election had been held
that Is TO say. that the old board is
the legal board Of the school district
Teachers who have contracts with
the separate boards should have them
renewed by the old boards which
iiaards should pay for work done un'
der previous contract
SINCERELY yours,
TNEIL HUMPHREY

In your letter you ask TO be advised
whether Judge Illusions decision holds

Every qualified clector has right

abridged by the legislature. The coh.
stitution. section 7 OF article 3, upon
suffrage, declares: The election shall
be free and equal 10 power, civil or

vent the free Exercise OF the right OF

flict with this provision of the consli-
tuition. as well as of the sixth subdl.

GOVERNMENT DeFENDs ITSELF.

-
It Is not often. that the Government
takes he trouble TO get into the nSWs,
papers In defense OF itself. But there
has just developed case in which
the Acknowledgement at the sdirsc-
ton Of the President, has PREPARED
and given out statement IN reply 10
newspaper criticism.
The Santa Fe railroad has Just
been fined $4,000 for rebating. It
was a fragrant case, and there was
some surprise that the fine was not
even heavier. But President Ripley
of the railroad was naturally not very
much pleased and INDUCED in some
rather caustlc criticism OF the Depart
ment OF Justice, calling the prosecu-
ton futile, vexatiousy unfair" and
several similaI adjectives. II was in
reply to this outburst that the Attor.
ney-General spoke, or rather wrote,
for the statement was carefully writ.
ten and officially given out so that
there might be no mistake about It.
He said that the remarks Of .Presi-
dent Ripley were most surprising
seeing that the prosecution had been
instituted by some of the most care.
full officials Of the department after
the most searching inquiry. Presi.
dent Ripley said that the Offenses com.
planned OF in the prosecution had been
committed by very minor subordi-
nate OF the road "in direct defiance OF
the orders of the management" At
torney-General Bonaparte said that
this was a most speciOus excuse and
one too often put forward by railroads
and other corporations caught In
Illegal practices. He said that the sub
ordinate mad nothing and the road
everything TO gain by the violation
OF the law. and he doubted much II
the alleged direct orders" against
rebatlng had ever been issued. He
pointed out that the convictions OBJ
tained were obtained on the record
Of the Company's own books, and that
there were many Other cases that 1t
was confessed had botn covered up
by burning the discriminating records.
The fine, he said, was only one,fourth
Of what might have been imposed, and
IN conclusion he said that the attl-
tudo Of President Ripley not only re-
Elected on the court aud on the Depart.
ment OF Justice. but was calculated
to bring the railroad into even deeper
disfavor with the public which had
been wronged. This, no said. was per.
haps the most important feature OF
the case, as II deepened the public re-
sentiment against corporations IN gen.
