the honor upon him he viii accept 1t.
Perhaps no man of half a century has
accomplished nea-ly so much in 50
short a time as has OklalOma's first
state superintendent, and from the
time teachers began arriving there has
been a quiet undercurrent of sunti-
mcnt moulding in his behalf. Prof. l..
J. Abbott, of the Central normal, was
a candidate. but he generously with.
drew when the Gamer boom was
launched, Abb tits work In behalf OF

think. and he doubtless viii be made

Prohibition Hot from the Gun,
Continued from page two,)

officers Of the state create such
laws and issue such licenses; the
people Of the state elect such Off
GERS; then upon the people of the
state the burden Of all this crime
and guilt rests. The people have
the power to destroy this business
when they wish to do so, as has
been proven in othe parts, and are
guilty OF all the crimes that liquor
causes, for the saloon men are
only their agents.
But have we the moral right
to cause all this evil to come upon
the people Of our country? The
supreme court says MOI Gods
commands forbid US doing so.
Really what is the claim of liquor
upon us? Simply that certain de-
sires may he satisfied and certain
men make money out of the traffic.
In other words, selfish desires and
money. What is the claim on us
that requires that the traffic be de-
stroyed1 The happiness and well
fare OF homes, the rights of wives
and children, the lives of men and
women, the prevention OF the most
horrible crimes. The question re-
solves itself into this: selfish de-
sires and money against lives and
happiness.
II know that there will be those
who will bring up the old excuse
that prohibition does not prohibit
but in turn | would like to call
your attention to the fact that the
the most perfect police systems do
not prevent robbery and murder.
Shall we legatize and license Ger.
tain men to rob and murdeI? Sta
tistics do not support hal old lie
that prohibition does not pro-
hibit,' for if the people will only
elect the right officers they will
find that the absence of liquor can
be more than a theory.
Did We not condemn England
tor forcing opium upon China?
Yes. Then shall not the same
condemnation be placed upon
those men and women, who for the
sake OF a few dollars and a little
pleasure, are willing to bring ruin
and misery upon so many men,
women, and little helpless chill
dren1 The act is devilish and
cowardlyl
Il know there are many in our
territory who hide behind the ex-
cuse that we have not a local
option law, and that we are still a
territory. Remember what one
American, with the aid of only a
few other missionaries, has done
in China, a heather land. There
was no local option law to aid
them, 10 christian sentiment to
morally support the undertaking;
yet in spite of these grave handi-
caps, the battle against the great
curse of opium was won. Does it
not make us ashamed to acknow-
ledge that with our advantages we
a not do, in a land of only eighty
millions, what one man with only

P~ostoffice Boxes Tempered With.

There has been much complaint
lately about postofice boxes being
tempered with and post master
Carter has been keeping close
watch and yesterday discovered
the cause. Boxes left unlocked
have been piltered and also the
combination worked on those OF
two or more business firms of this
town and mail taken out and OPEN
ed. This will not likely occur
again from the same source but it
is a strict regulation of the De-
partment that postofice lock boxes
found open are to be declared
vacant by the postmaster and re-
leased to others. So in future it
will be we'll for those intending to
hold them to lock their boxes.

teer relief fund, consisting of about
81, 900, is disbursed.
But there is not enough money in the
hands of the local relief committee to
meet needs and to carry these farmers
through the summer season until they
can gather their crops and become self
sustaining.
One citizen of the Indian Springs vi
cinity told the News yesterday that he
had tried to mortgage his farm in order
to secure funds to feed his family and
make his crop, but had been unsuccess-
full Banks are not lending money on
country property now, as most Hatties-
burgans know.
Major Simpson, the government dis
bursting officer, tried zealously to locate
every citizen in the storms path who
was in need of aid. He had to depend
largely however, ON local committees
for his information, and there are no
local committees in these remote rural
districts. A majority of those in need
came to town soon after the govern
ment appropriation became available
and received an issue of rations suffi-
cient for a months need. They did
not come to town again until this sup
ply was exhausted, and then only to
find that the government disbursing
officer had departed.
This was not Major Simpsons fau {.
relief commisee. 1t was believed that
the situation had been relieved, al
though less, than half the government
appropriation had been used.
! The rest of this appropriation is
7 still available; but the disbursing Off

drunkenness. But Mr.. Taft did not
ended until he had traced logically
the effect that General Grants victory
over self had in making possible the
victories he won later over the great
est of English-speaking generals, Rob-
ert E. Lee.
General Grant stands today nearer
to the affection of Americans, South
as well as North, than he did before
Mr.. Tafts speech was delivered. The
knowledge of his weakness makes him
the more human. The struggle for the
victory he finally won over it but
makes the character of the victor
stand forth the stronger for the fight.
Mr.. Taft unquestionably spoke with
authority. Neither the occasion nor
the man of whom he spoke, nor his
own position before the country, war
ranted him in speaking otherwise.
Accepting what he said as true, 1t is
hard to see how the saying of it could
have aroused the hysteria of the Sob
squadders against him. Mr.. Taft has
done wrong neither to history nor to
one of its greatest figures. To seek
to have it appear otherwise is either
politics or lack of mental balance.

PUTTING JAIL IN
GOOD CONDITION

The county jail, having been some
what relieved of prisoners by the ac-
ton of circuit court, Jailer Rawls was
busy this morning giving the Jail and
grounds surrounding a general Clean
ing up.
For while there were forty prison
ers confined in the county jail, which
is crowding things to great extent
and shows the great need of new Jail
that can be kept in sanitary condition
at all times. Mr.. Rawls has kept the
jail in remarkably good condition,
considering how greatly crowded il
has been.
