been exempted from the 2-cent fare
provision by the corporation commits

in suit to have the 2-cent fare abol-

commission has reduced freight rates
from 20 to so per cent on most com

testing these reductions in the federal

Some Of the big corporations also
have filed suits to restrain the collec-

the ground that the assessment Of
their property was much higher in

"The situation presented is that Of a
case calling for judicial inquiry and
determination. and the second inquiry
is whether they may be had in this
court or must be had in the state tri-
bunals. Upon that, the following prin-
cipals. believed to be firmly imbed-

sufficient grounds it cannot be reliev-

proceed, either by constitutional pro
vision or by legislative act of a state
If, according to recognized principles
of jurisprudence, the case is in its

state may have denied the complain

have designated some particular local
tribunal to the exclusion of all others,
state and national.
"The test is the existence OF con-

products in the proper way and at the
right time
1--WE believe it is generally conceded
by men who know all about farming
that the open country is not the solu-
tion Of the oyercrowded city-the out
Of work problem. These men tell us
that the poor and ignorant cannot be
turned into farmers by the mere pro-
cess Of placing them on farms, and
that unless they have been instructed
in some branch Of agriculture and
have become thoroughly interested in
the work they are worse off in the
country than in the thronged city.
There have been many men ard
women who have succeeded in farm
ing and horticulture. starting without
previous knowledge on the subjects
but as general rule the experience
OF al arge per centage has been costly
before they achieved success. could
cite numerous instances Of successes
in the Northwest and other parts Of
the United States, but farming at its
best is more or less hazardous ex-
pertinent for person without some
training, and real knowledge can only
be obtained in the school of expert
ence, whatever the branch attempted.
This brings us back to the first
principle that the child should be edu-
Gated along practical lines, and to
bring this about it viii be necessary
to make the rural school new kind
Of institution At the present time the
schools are held to be largely rcspons-
ible for ineffective farming the gem
eral lack Of ideals and the rapid drift
ing from the country to cities and
towns. The rual schools are not de-
clining: they are simply in state
Of arrested development and have not
kept pace with the times and the
changed conditions of life.
THE chief aim of the Spokane con-
vention is to arouse intelligent public
sentiment to consideration Of the
greatest single problem now before
the people Of the United States, lgnor
mce Of farming and inertia has be-
come widespread and so heavy as to
constitute national danger It isl
the result Of neglected agriculture and
the decline of farming interest
we believe that rural education
al propaganda will not only meet with
favor In the country districts but also
in the larger cities, as every good citi-
zen. whether, merchant professional
man or mechanic. must be interested
in maintaining the growth and devel-
opement of our agricultural resouces." "

The progress Of Oklahoma cities
and towns has been marked. Since
statehood several skyscrapers have
been erected at Oklahoma City and
Muskogee. Tulsa and Enid have erect
ed several seven and eight-story build
ings. Virtually every city in the state
of 5000 population and over is engag-
ed in paving its streets, and some OF
the larger cities have put down many
miles of paving.
Oklahoma has been democratic from
the beginning of statehood. In the
first state election the democratic
majority was 27OOO and the second
state election this majority was re-
duced to $4,000. Oklahoma adopted
statewide prohibition in the first cleo
ton. and all attempts thus far to re-
the license system formerly
in vogue in Oklahoma territory have
failed.

Cabbage Crop.

Gainesville canvas lettuce growers
are now reaping a harvest on the crop
and the next few weeks Of the market

number OF growers that plant regu-
larry under canvas and who always
make a hit during February and
March.
Practically all OF the lettuce has
been shipped from the southern part
Of the State. hence the situation Is
nearly controlled just at the present
time by the farmers who have the
protection Of canvas and they wei
come the rise in price with a very
glad smile
Lettuce sold I'm the New York mar

great demand.
Two cars left here Friday night,
and from now until the season closes
about one car will be shipped every
day until the growers commence the
cutting OF the spring crop. which is
just now being put out by the farm
ers.
There is still no change in the re-
port Of the cabbage crop as to the
amount Of damage done 20 the vege-
table. An experienced planter says
the past few days has shown the
crop to be a good deal more damaged
than was at first suspected. and unless
a rain falls soon he expects fully so
per cent OF the crop win be lost, but
with a favorable rain Il would aver
age about 30 per cent loss.

Nothing definite could be learned

The location OF the new plant will
be near the intersection OF the two
