Oklahoma has accomplished as
much in an educational way in two
years as some of the older states ac-
complished in a century Nearly one
half of all our taxes go toward the
support of schools and the building of
school houses. It is strange that our
taxes are a little high when we have
built so many fine school houses and
conducted such splendid schools and
would anybody be willing to take their
tax money back and give up our
schoolsg

GOOD ROADS.

Good roads and progress go toget1i-
er. and North Carolina has demon
strated that the best thing to do with
eonvtets is to use them in road build
ing and the incidental promotion Of
progress, and she also has proven
that convicts can be housed, fed.
clothed, doctored and guarded at less
expense than they can be kept in
idleness- in jail. Just now, in view
of the deplorable conditions found to
exist in the prison system of Texas.
the example of North Carolina could
be followed with good financial re
suits to the state and with beneficial
results to the cause of humanity, to
say nothing of the Improvement -ef
our highways. In the adoption Of the
North Carolina plan Texas would
have the advantage of not having the
experiment, and would only have to
profit by North Cardinals experience
and at once enter upon the most per-
feet and humane penal system ever
devised, which has proved both sue
cessful and profitable, free from scan
dals and cruelty-El Paso Times
To work the convicts on the public
roads might not entirely eliminate
cruelty in their guarding AND keeping.

ed, and if it is desirable to keep the
convicts out of competition with freeI
labor, using them in road building
would be doubly desirable From the :
beginning of government itself, the
public highway has been found the
one best place for violators of the
rules and peace of society. There is
room on the public roads for all the !
convicts without interfering in the
least with orderly toilers in other
lines. Besides, the roads are needed. !

The law is commonly supposed to
be the instrument by which offend.
ers against the peace and dignity OF
the country are restrained and
brought to justice, and yet we find
the law standing as a barrier between
an offender and his punishment The
technicality of the law is a factor
that calls for the best legal skill II
seems to be a fixed rule that a man
cannot be convicted of crime on his

Anyhow, the articles that have been
appearing in the Courier-T Times about
the big hat evil has caused a bunch
of Texas editors to attend church
probably to see if the women in other
towns wore as big hats as they do in
Tyler. For instance, Hamilton of the
Palestine Herald has been to church
twice in the past three months, and
both times he said Palestine ladies'
did not wear as big hats as Tyler
ladies wear.-Tyler Courier-Times.--
From the way Hamilton of the Her
aid talks, he certainly goes to church
every Sunday and, after he has round:
ed off good weeks work, at quitting
time Saturday evening, he is very de-
votional when he gets there and is
satisfied if he can see the preacher
now and then and know that he is
there.-Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Senator Culberson is the latest
Texan to offer attraction to the scalp
hunters. The chief complaint against
the senior senator is that he has not
made enough noise as he went along,
has not engaged in any of the little
family spats that have disturbed the
local political camp, and that he has
only gone ahead attending to business
in a quiet, unpretentious way. Let
it be known now this is a free coun-
try, and if anybody wants Charles
job all they have to do is to get out
and go after it and get enough votes
to land it. The political jobs belong
to no one unless that one can hold
them.

With only twenty-one per cent of
the lands of Anderson county in cul-
tivation the cotton crop of this
year amounts to more than one mil
lion dollars. Added to this are all of
the other crops, including corn, feed
products, fruit, vegetables and melons,
ETC., to say nothing of the chickens,
turkeys, eggs, hogs, cattle and sheep,
which makes the figures total up to
a very handsome sum. Just figure

from the young men just starting out
in life: Remember, my son, you
have to work Whether you handle
pick or a pen, dig bitches or edit a
newspaper, ring an auction bell or
write funny things, you must work,
If you look around, you will see men
who are the most able to live the
rest of their lives without work the
men who work the hardest Do not
be afraid to kill yourself with over
work 1t is beyond your power to do
that on the sunny side of thirty. They
die sometimes, but it is because they
quit work at p. m. and don't get
home till 2 a. m. 1t is the interval
that kills, my son. The work gives
you an appetite, it lends solidity to
your slumbers, it gives you a perfect
and graceful appreciation of a holt
day There are young men who do
not work, but the world is not proud
of them. 1t does not know their
names, even; it simply speaks of them
as So and Sos boys. Nobody likes
them, the busy world does not know
they are here. So find out what you
are to do and take off your coat and
make a dust in the world The buster
you are the less harm you are apt to
get into. the sweeter will be your
slumbers, the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the better salts
faction the world will be to you.
