County Superintendent H. T. Persons of
Calhoun has written to State Superintend-
ent Harry C. Gunnels indorsing his pro-
posal that the county teachers be paid
direct from the state department, instead
OF by the county superintendent. MIR.
Persons says that this may result in a
slight delay in the receipts of their sal
aries by the teachers, but he says that
the other advantages of this change will
greatly outweigh this objection. He de-
fends his fellow-workers as a class. be-
lieving them to be honest as a rule. but
he says there are many things that come
into their way. Among these, he SAYS.
is the lack of accuracy and thoroughness
on the part of the trustees, many of
whom in preparing their reports expect
leniency from the county superintend-
ent. But" he said, when they go to
dealing direct with the state department.
they will be more careful
IF Superintendent Gunnels proposal did
nothing else than bring system into this
feature of the educational work." Mr..
Persons continued, sit would be worth
while. for system is the key to efficiency
in any line of work.

Truly a Compliment.

Guthrie March 2O.-The Kansas
City Journal in recent issue odi-
rorially paid a high compliment to
the supreme court OF Oklahoma on
account of an opinion handed down
by Judge Baker of the criminal
court OF appeals. Quoting from the
opinion:
when a Defendant is clearly PROV.
on TO be guilty, this court will not
reverse a conviction upon any tech
nicaliiy or exception which does not
effect the substantial rights of the
defendant
Tho editorial proceeded TO enum.
crate instances where Justice is af er
prevented through technical inter
ferences and closed the editorial
with the following paragraph.
This brave Oklahoma Judge who
dares TO apply the rule of common
sense in interpreting the law de-
serves the comm ndation of "A long
suffering people. All praise to him
and may his tribe increase until
his kind MI all the posts of judi,
ciary all over the land"
II is n matter OF pride to note
that the Oklahoma judiciary in the
short space of time it has been In
existence has Won the highest com.
mendation OF the best lawyers of the
nation.
Not only have We the best CON
stitution but the best court OF any
state in the union.

SANTA MONICA RESIDENTS
WILL OBSERVE RAiSlN DAY

SANTA MONICA, April 29.-Pursu--
ant to the plan generally advocated
among commercial organizations
throughout the state, tomorrow will be
known as "raisin day" in this city.
The board of trade has been encour-
aging the observance OF the day for
number of weeks and all the local gro
ceries are preparing their window dis
plays with the object of promoting the
sale of raisins above all other staples.
1t is announced this evening among
the stores that many families have pre-
pared their menus in a manner to
feature the fruit, and that raisin pies,
cakes and buildings will prevail, while
the young people are providing stuffed
raisins for their guests.
It has been suggested that as this
community has so generously boosted"
for the raisin growers. that in the fall
the other sections of the state recipro-
cate and work for the general observ-
ance of "bean day." the lima bean
being the staple product of the country
around this city. The bean growers
argue that there should be such a
movement to induce people to consume
beans and that they will take time to
start it as soon as they get their work
far enough along to agitate the move

OCEAN PARK GETS
NEW POLICE CHIEF
Prediction Made That Reorganization
of Force Will Have the Effect
of Greatly Increasing
Its Efficiency

OCEAN PARK, April 29.-The re-
organization of the police force of this
city, which took place today, places a
new man at the head of the depart
ment, and puts a quietus on rumors OF
wholesale designations and discharges.
City Marshal Simpson had turned
the entire charge of the department.
over to John H. Parent, formerly of
the Bay City, Mich, and Chicago po-
lice forces. Chief of Police Parent,
as he will be known, has been serving
the department in the capacity of night
sergeant the past month, and came to
this department highly recommended
for efficiency as disciplinarian and
thorough police officer
Sergeant Henry Ivy will remain on
the force as heretofore, having charge
of the patrolmen under the direction
of Chief Parrant. Marshal Simpson
stated this evening that the response
bility of maintaining order in the city
of Ocean Park rested entirely with
the new head of the department, and
that he alone was responsible for the
work of the department in all of Its
future acts.
While there is more or less discus
sion over the fact that an outsider
was given the position, the general
sentiment among the citizens is that
man without any strings, so to
speak, will have a salutary effect on
the members of the force and will add
greatly to it's efficiency.

JAPANESE CRUISERS
LEAVE HARBOR CITY
CLEAR FOR SAN FRANCISCO
AND ANOTHER WELCOME
Midshipmen and Sailors Make Favor
able Impression by Being
Orderly and Sober on
Shore

SAN PEDRO, April 29.-After four
days call at this port the japanese
cruisers Aso and Sayo weighed anchor
at IL o'clock this morning and cleared
for San Francisco. where another well
come awaits them.
Quite a number of the committee OF
the japanese association, which has
worked So efficiently in the entertain
ment of the visitirs, went out In
launches this morning to bid their
countrymen bon voyage, which was eX-
pressed in their language by the cries
of "Banzai." Others of the committee
had charge of the daylight fireworks.
which were again displayed from the
bluff overlooking the harbor.
Many of the local townspeople wit
messed the departure of the war vessels
from the city plaza. The flagship Aso
led and was closely followed by the
Soya. With a graceful. curve the ships
swung out to sea, clearing the end of
the breakwater and proceeding out to
sea at 11:15.
Much favorable comment has been
heard here on the conduct of the mid
shipmen and sailors off the ships, who
have been orderly and sober. Although
the local police were on the lookout
for disorderly characters, no arrests of
any kind have been made, and the con-
duct of both sailor boys and the visit
ors has been exemplary.

FAIRBANKS MAY LIVE
IN PASADENA HOME
$4,000 PROPERTY SUPPOSED
TO BE WINTER RESIDENCE
Former Vice President Pleased with
Crown City and Is Expected
to Return Every
Winter

PASADENA, April 29.-With the re-
port today that former Vice President
Charles Warren Fairbanks has pur-
chased a magnificent home in Pasa-
dena, his friends believe he has at
length decided to yield to their per
suasion and make Pasadena his winter
home.
The property, the sale of which was
announced this afternoon, is the resi-
dence of George w. Simpson, at oak
lawn, near the Hotel Raymond, ana
the purchase price was 100000.
When he visited his son here, Mr.
Fairbanks was greatly pleased with
the city and announced that he IN
tended to make frequent trips here IN
the future. 1t is now thought, now
ever. that he has decided to spend
part of the winter here.
On his return from a trip around the
world Mr.. Fairbanks will resume his
private law practice in Indianapolis;
He is a man Of wealth, however, ana
does not need to do this for financial
reasons. He is perfectly able to main
tain a winter home in Southern CAM
fornia, and indications now are that
he has decided to do so.
It is also suggested that ne may
intend it as a present for his son,
Frederick C. Fairbanks, who lives in
Pasadena, but this theory is not given
much credence.
