SCHOOLS AND LAND VALUES.

double the amount of school-tax mon

er, And this is bat one Of hundred
ways in which better schools pay for
themselves many times over. The
whole life Of the community is richer
and finer wherever there is a good
school at its center; the citizens feel
pride in It such as they never felt
before. and everything in the neigh
borhood begins to catch step with the
new standard Of progress thus set up
II is not the fertility Of the land that
makes II valuable: II is the intelli-
gence OF the community in which it
is situated. Land In Africa today Is
more fertile than the average South.
ern farmer of the uplands ever saw,
but It Is practically worthless because
Of an ignorant population, while land
In Belgium, originally little more
than a sand-waste, has become in

presence OF an intelligent population,
and intensely fertile by reason of the
wise methods Of cultivation practiced
by these intelligent farmers. Even

OF the increase in values that always

OklAHoMA's DRASTIC Laws.

oklahoma's laws, like her constitu-

collision with the Federal courts, AS

conserving her natural gas, product
in which she Is particularly rich. BY
indlrection her laws have been so
framed that It could not be piped out
of the state. While direct inhibi
ton was not attempted, section was
incorporated In the constitution de-
nyine to any corporation the right Of
eminent domain. OF the use of the
highways. unless 1t would first take
out domestic charter, after which.
II was reasoned. the State could lay
such restrictions as e saw ft Here
was a clever conservation scheme Of
It's own, and one perhaps that would
have attained its purpose had there
been no United States courts to
reckon with.
There has naturally been consider.
able resistance to this arbitrary regu-
lation. In Incidental rulings the
courts have made Il plain that they
were not prepared to uphold the State
In restricting the sale OF gas within
her own borders. More directly 70
the point Is the intelligence that Judge
Campbell OF the Eastern District Fed

arAlN-smNNEDr FELLOWS.

There are a number of men in the
public service OF the nation. state.
county and city, who come under the
newspaper classification Of "thin-
skinned fellows" and the paper that
prints all the news all the time is
continually coming in contact with
these fellows.
The "thin-sklnned fellow" Is the one
who believes that no newspaper has
a right to print his name in connec-
tion with anything he does in. the
capacity of a public servant unless he
authorizes It done We are contin-
ually meeting the fellow who says.
"I didn't authorize" such and such
a thing to be printed.
It is really unfortunate that more
people do not understand the mission
Of the newspaper. and some of the
trials OF the men who make the pa
per possible.
II the "thin-skinned fellow in pub
lie life does not want his name in
the paper" he can keep 1t out by re-
firing to private life and behaving
himself. meaning Of course that he
must also. keep out Of the courts.
The newspapers have no desire to
injure anyone, and whenever a public
servant is misquoted the offending
newspaper is always ready and willing
to correct the error. Man is only
mortal. and newspaper men make mis-
takes just like other kinds or classes
OF people. There is no reason to cen
sure the newspaper man for making
mistakes any more than the lawyer,
or doctor, or a dentist. or minister
The newspaper man necessarily does
his work I'm a hurry and, II anything,
is more liable. and hence more excus-
able, for his mistakes than other peo-
pie, and yet he always gets the worst
blame.
II the people generally, and the
public servants in particular, better
understood the work Of the newspaper
man there would be more Of apprecia-
tion and less Of censure for him

We trust Grant. Gen. Fred, knows the

In a sensational race at the Empire
City Jockey Clubs Yonkers track
yesterday the Western horse Prince
Ahmed, coming from seemingly
impossible position behind his field.
equaled the worlds record for six
furlongs, and won easily. the time,
Ell, marking a better performance
for Prince Ahmed on the mile course
of Yonkers than the race of Chapul-
tepec. on the faster mile and a fur
long track. with its easier turn. at
Los Angeles.
The race. though for purse hand
leap was the real feature of the
Yonkers programme, as it brought
together the fast Western filly Rose
Queen and Prince Ahmed. al a dis
tance more to the liking of the filly
than the mile in which Prince Ahmed
beat her on Monday, two other horses
running. Though Rose Queen, with
the top weight. was making conces-
sion of from sixteen to eighteen
pounds to Prince Ahmed up to thirty
six pounds to Bat Masterson, she
started as an odds-on favorite.
Rose Queen helped Prince Ahmed
as far as a fast pace could help him,
in his victory, for. ridden by Powers,
she left the post like flash and
went on in front at killing pace,
and though she ran herself off her
feet, lasted in front for five furlongs.
Her early effort destroyed her chance,
but not until the horses were in the
stretch did Prince Ahmed ever look
like contender. Rose Queen went
down the backstretch to the furlong

three furlongs in O:34 1-5. with her
field strung out for about seventy

Rose Queen went on to the half
mile in 0:46. Prince Ahmed then per
