PROTEST AGA|NS 7
LAND SALE

Oklahoma, City. Okla. Aug. Is
To oppose the sale o. oklahoma g
three million acres OF school lands
a state convention was called here
today to organize movement of
protest against the measure Indoors
ed by Governor Haskell and "AlfaI-
ia BIZ Murray. speaker OF the Ok
lahoma house.
At a recent mass meeting of
school land lessees. called by Gov
ernor Haskell. bill was agreed up
on which provides for the sale OF
the public school lands. Under the
initiatrye provision OF the state con
stltution this measure will be voted
upon by the people at the general
elect on in November.
IL must receive majority OF all
the votes cast at that election. For
several weeks the recent state leg
islature tried to pass n bill for the
school land lessees. called by Cover
nor Haskell, and the bill was block
ed therefore Gov Haskell issued his
convention call advocating the initia
ting of bill to sell the lands.
1t is alleged by tho delegates to
today's convention that the inter
ests OF the stante and of the school
children of the present and future
generations will best be protected
by the holding of the school lands.
Resolutions were adopted that call
20 statewide organization of
those in harmony with the view of
holding the lands and that pray to
the qualified voters of the state to
join i'm the battle for the security of
the property on which depends the
education of the young.
The convention will map out plans
to defeat the Murray initiative
blll," by which title the bill to be
be voted upon is desi grated. Will
lam H. Murray, speaker Of the Okla
homa house, aided in drawing the
bill and is in charge of the neces-
sary preparations for initiating the
measure.
TO initiate this or any other meas
ure a petition of $1,000 resident
qualified voters of the state is nee
essary. and the securing of this pc
tition was completed. a total of some
thing over $4,000 names being OBJ
tanned.
Fearing that the bill, to be ini-
tiatei, will not get more than one
half OF the votes cast at the Novem-
Der election, the school land lessees
are not as jubilant over the pros
poets of the bill as might be expect
ed. although the bill gives the lessee
the preference right to purchase his
leased land at the highest bid Of
fered at public auction.

Here 1t Is.

An exchange furnishes the fol
lowing jingle: Kind friends, have
you heard of the town of No
Good, on the banks of the river
Slow, where the Some tIme-or-
other scents the air and the soft
Go-easss grow? 1t lies in the
valley of what's the use, in the
province of Let-her-slide; it's the
home of the reckless don 't-care.
where the Give-it-ups abide. The
town is as old as the human race,
and it grows with the flight of
years; it is wrapped in the fog of
the idler's dreams; its streets are
paved with discarded dreams and
sprinkled with useless tears.

Utilize the Time.

The boy who spends his time on
the streets, resorts to all kinds of
subterfuges to kill time and escape
study at school, or lend a helping
hand to his mother, is not apt to
grow up a useful citizen. In these
strenuous days it takes applica-
ton, industry and education to
rise in the scale of usefulness and
prominency. The boy in his teens,
who prefers a life of ldleness to
honest endeavor, cannot expect
to become aught else than a newer
of wood and q drawer of wate4
during bis manhood years. 1t
takes will power, the ambition to
CLIMB in order to make the useful
man or woman in this life. The
advancement into the higher
strata of existence and the increas-
ing demand on both the physical
and mental powers to take the
lead in the active pursuits of life,
admonish the boys and girls that
the lack of appreciation, and time
spent in frivolities and avoidance
of duty will make them iaggads
in the race towards the goal of
success.
There are not wanting young
minds that comprehend the re-
quirements of the present. aud
whose hearts are filled with a
laudabIe aim, but they seem to be
the exceptions, yet they inevitably
achieve prominency in the various
pursuits of life, and are leaders of
the hosts who battle for the re-
wards of honest endeavor.
Do not fritter away the golden
sands of time. Mipgle amid its
ever flowing PARTICLES the flashing
light of genuine pleasure and
rational enjoyment as foil to the
burden of work. But always
remember that work only can
build the sure foundation of the
temple of usefulness that shall
stand as the monument to noble
and the holy cause of
lettering the human family.

Aloha, La, March 26.-Small
pox is quite prevalent in Colfax.
A few pleasant moments were
spent with Bros. Killingsworth of
Colfax, S. l.. Morris of Winfield
and Ruse of Verda one day last
week, who passed their spare time
with us while waiting for trains.
Miss Grace O'Quin, the accom-
plished daughter of Mr.. j. w.
O'Quin. of Colfax, was visitor
at the home of Mrs. Miller on
the Goth.
The farm aud garden interest
OF this country Is better up to
this date than common.
Mr.. B. F. Galloway, of Villas,
was in Aloha on the 18th and says
If he can borrow FIVE hundred
dollars more he will get oil in two
and a half miles of Aloha. He
also proved to us that an egg could
be made to stand on Its largest
end without breaking it, and that
was news to us here in these
sticks. But we learn since, and
you can, too, that we can make a
hen egg stand alone on the little
end; it only takes trial. Mr..
Galloway says he does not believe
the earth turns over, but 1 do.
But don't think his opinion or
mine will change any facts.
Mr.. NJ. Bulette went to Verda
last Friday on business.

Modern Altruism.

Altruism is u very fine doctrine
as taught and prscticed by the
French philosopher, Comte. Do
ing good to others and following
the practice of humanity are the
very essence of Christianity. Il
IS principle utterly opposed to
selfishness. But who would for
an instant believe that Henry
Clews, the New York banker,
when he urged upon the workmen
the practice of altruism in the
matter of wages. was not himself
actuated by the spirit of selfish
ness2 Behind his plea stands the
idea of greater reduction of ex-
penses in the management of huge
monopolies and gigantic corpora
tions. Then the covert threat
is made that half loaf is better
than no loaf at all. Or in other
words. take what is proffered or
do with nothing at all. As a final
conclusion for his plea to give
and take, as the OIL upon the
troubled waters of the threatened
hold-up of predatory capital, he
exclaims:
meanwhile, we can not ignore
the political situation in this pre-
sidential year and the disturbing
and depressing effect of the mes
sage of President Roosevelt to
Congress, with its onslaught on
Wall street, followed by the un-
just, bitter attack of Mr.. Bryan
on stock exchange speculation,
which be denounced MS gambling"
There is the kernel, the meat of
this bankers plea. If that be the |
modern method of practicing the
of the French phiIoso- |
pier, then may the wage-earners |
proclaim from the depths of their
hearts: "From all such. good |
