GOVERNOR CRUCE
ASKS QUESTIONS

Governor Lee CruCe does not fee
friendly to the idea of assembling
the legislature in extra session but
so many demands have been made
upon him for such action that he is
not willing to assume all the respon
sibihty in the matter and has written
every member of the legislature in
order to get their ideas of the matter
Here is a letter which he has sent tC
J. r. Champion of this city:
Oklahoma City, Aug. Il, 1911.
Hon j. B. Champion,
Ardmore. Oklahoma.
Dear Mr.. Champion:
| have had many requests from cfti
zens of Oklahoma and from some
members of the legislature to call a
special session of the legislature. My
views on this question are pretty well
known, but | do not care to be under
stood as taking the position that the
governor alone is to be considered in
matters of this kind. | feel that the
opinion of the members of the legis-
lature should have great weight with
the governor in determining so seri-
GUS n matter. w llll lllS OuJtNl III
view, ! am addressing a similar letter
to each member Will You please an
swer, in as much detail as you car
to. the following questions:
Do YOU believe the public good de
mands a special session?
What time would you suggest as
most convenient for the members OF
the legislature to have called ses
sion should one be determined on?
Should a special session of the leg
islature be called, what public matters
do YOU consider should he submitted
for its consideration?
Sincerely yours,
LEE CRUCE, Governor.
Mr. Champion has not made reply
to .the letter. but says he thinks
the state should be redistricted and
also that the capitol matter should
receive the attention of the legisla
ture. However he thinks the session
should not be called until October or
November so the farmer members
can take care of the harvest and the
lawyer members can care for the bus
mess of their clients during the terms
of district courts that will be in ses
sion in the early fall.

Model School Buildings.

Chicago is about to begin the cree
ton Of a series of public school build
ings which it proposes to make model
structures, at the same time saving
100000 on the first six buildings.
They are to have all the latest
features and facilities, some of which
the old and more costly buildings did
not possess. They will be fireproof
throughout and built so as to admit
of the best possible sanitary regula-
ton. The style Of architecture is to
be very simple.
In this last feature, no doubt, much
of the financial saving is to be found
Gingerbread decorations add nothing
in comfort or safety. 1t seems the
Chicago Board of Education, with the
aid of a competent architect, has en-
deavored to reduce the construction
OF these schools to uniformity, and
therefore the result of its efforts will
be watched with general interest. II

all others to which the best thought
should be given 1t is the school. The
formative years of life are spent in
schools, and where they are defective
in ventilation, or in any means Of san
itation, they are unwholesome and un
fit for growing children.
Another commendable feature
about the Chicago model school build
ing is its provision for gymnasium

matters; that It fosters the typical
college spirit Of rivalry in unhealthful
ways, such as competition for main
tanning the most comfortable frater-
nifty house and keeping up the most
attractive personal appearance. These,
Of course, are evils which no college
or university wants to stimulate.
Another objection goes to the segre-
eating into groups, forming class dis
tinctions. This is bad for the institu-
ton and it is very unjust to the stu
dents, financially unable or intellectu-
ally disinclined, to indulge in fratism.
When educators like those men

The Public and the Press.


In his address to the periodical
publishers In New York Theodore
Roosevelt affirmed the belief that "the
man who writes for the public press
is just as much public servant as the
public oficerholder." Champ Clark,
on the same occasion, expressed the
opinion that the editors and publish
ers are the greatest educators of our
time" OF course, some folks will dis
sent from these views, yet most people
will concede the educative and public
service character of the press
weekly, daily or periodical.
The press can and will exercise a
better and wider influence by securing
more cordial relations with the people.
The people have been considering the
press as one OF their chief problems
The press certainly has found the peo-
pie to be it's chief problem. No more
difficult task confronts it than that Of
addressing and adjusting itself to the
public demands. Selfish ambition of
people tends vastly to complicate this
task. Journalism is a business about
the inner workings Of which people
have known comparatively little and
apparently cared less, yet still claim
ing a large right of censorship. But
it is a wholesome sign that this ignor-

disappear, for it makes for a better
and higher standard of journalism.
The scholar has rather grudgingly
| given credit to the press as a force in
education. That is because, we be-
lieve, he has overlooked the salient
point that the clientele Of the press is
heterogeneous and not homogeneous.
The same fault may be found with the
logic of the man who pleads for what
he chooses to call the ideal newspaper

The press has been aptly called the

true, then the people are left entirely
as its monitors and cannot shirk their
share of responsibility. II is this
theory which suggests that the aver.

maintained. And If this is not true
the community must be largely al

Business and Religion.

The world is wary of the man who
uses the power or influence Of his
church or religion to promote money
making schemes. 1t is we'll enough
for men to carry their religion into
their business; indeed, they can
scarcely do otherwise and appear as
effective churchmen. But that never
warrants them in exploiting sacred
offices for secular ends. Combining
church affliation with financial enter
prises for the purpose of increasing
the profits Of the latter is bad and will
sooner or later reflect evil results
upon the individual churchman and
his church.
Regrettable as it may seem, the
practice is common enough to invite
criticism. Nor need the church be-
come impatient of the structures. 1t
cannot fairly deny the right of out
siders to criticise so long as it is the
outside world with which the bargain
is to be struck. 1t is a melancholy
monument to the sin of deception"
which thus has been reared in the
name of religion by all too many men,
who should be upholding different
moral standards. 1t is a sad common
tary upon the righteous influence they
pretend to WELD. The church has a
duty toward such men, pointed out
by it's Founder when He drove the
money-changers from the temple.
Let a group or company of men in
the church, particularly members Of
the same body, float business VEN
ture Of a speculative character on the
strength of their religious connections
and at once they have raised the worst
sort of doubts of their own and their
church's sincerity. When the ven
ture fails, as many a one ultimately
does, it becomes known as a church
failure and the name of the church
must go down into all the questiona-
BILE mire of consequences that ensue.
1t is just such examples as this that
make the term "sanctimonious noun
tebank" possible.
