board. Ardmore was good silcd
town before public schools were cs-

Curtis bill passed in 1895 provided
that the people may vote to tax
themselves for school purposes in
towns of the Indian territory and the
Ardmore people lost but little time in
voting school tax. An election WAS
held for members OF the school board
The names of several good citizens
were placed upon the ticket but no
one did any work in the interest of
any one candidate When the votes
were i'm. the following persons had
been elected to use their ingenuity

The aristocracy of education includes
every American citizen The facts pub
lished on another page of this issue show
it. The standing of western American
men wherever found proves it. Robert
Ingersol has said an educated man in the
traest sense is one who is fitted to take
care of himself and his own in his time
and environment. The inference may
fairly be drawn that the same rule holds
for nation. In these United States ev-
ery man has opportunity to attend the
kind of school he wants, and l-armer

Pride goeth before a fall and a haugh
ty spirit before destruction
A short time ago Judge Lewis of the
U. S. District Court at Denver decided
that rules of the U. S. Land Office appea
ring in the cases before him were attem-
pts on the part of the administrative de.
partment of the Interior to legislate, a
function which belongs exclusively to
the Congress, and which anybody knows
it costs enough to have exercised in the
regular way Since Judge Lewis decf
sion the U. S. Supreme Court has passed
on case in point and has decided as
Judge Lewis did in the following words
1t is provided by Section of the tim
to its provisions by acquisitions prescrib'
ed by the commissioner of the general
land office. But this power must be CO.
nstrued as authorizing the commission
er to adopt rules and regulations for en-
forcement of the statute and cannot
have authorized him to virtually adopt
rules and regulations destructive of the
rights congress had conferred
$l0O000O 90 was spent in prosecuting
that case, and of course wasted. Now
strict enforcement of the law is an essen
tial part of really good government and
in that part the state governments have
been sinfully lax, but enforcement Of
executive Office rules as law is lot only
not strict enforcement but is actual
breach of the law and more if permit
ted by the courts, opens the way for ex-
ecutive tyranny without waiting to pass
through the socialist stage The courts
are standing true and protecting the cou
ntry from possible tri -umvirates and cae
sars and it falls to the political parties
to keep their trust also sacred and steer
the ship of state clear in the channel be
tween the scylla of socialism and the
charybdis of anarchy, if they would full
fill their mission and justify their exist
ence.
