Self-Help.

Fight your own battles hoe your
own row. Ask no favors of anyone,
and you'll succeed five thousand times
better than one who is always beseech-
fng some ones patronage, No one will
ever help you as you help yourself, be-
cause no one will be so heartily inter-
sted in your affairs. The first step
will not be such long one perhaps,
but carving your own way up the
mountain, you make each one lead 10
another, and stand firm in that while
you chop another out. Men who made
fortunes are not those who had FIVE
thousand dollars given them TO start
with, but started fair with n dollar or
two. Men who have by their own eS-
ertions acquired fame, have not been
thrust into popularity by pufIs begged
or paid for or given in friendly spirit.
They have stretched out their hands
and touched the public heart. Men who
win love do their own wooing. Whcth-
er you work for fame, for love, for
money, or for anything else, work with
your hands, heart and brain. Say IL
willw and some day you will conquer.
Never let any man have it TO say 81
have dragged you up-I have made
you what you are Too many friends
hurt man more than none at all.

His idea was that the bonds, while is
sued 10y the state, should be issued
against the railroad itself and paid out

Governor Cruce Talks Like
Himself.

Although, Governor Cruces first
message to the legislature is an admir-
able document. Both in his inaugural
address and in his message, he talks
like himself. 1t is the kind of mes
sage that was expected by those who
judged the governor rightly, and lit
tie better than his partisan enemies
expected. 1t is the sincere expression
OF his convictions.
The Governor treats but seven sub
jects in his message. A change of ed
ucational system and the organization
of the state board of education a more
simple and honest election law; an
amendment to the bank guaranty law.
placing the banking board in the select
ion OF the state banks the abolition Of
the dispensary and enforcement of
prohibition; more stringent laws
against gambling; fairness of reap
portionment for congressional districts
under the new census; relief of the
Supreme Court, and the solution of
the muddle of codifying the laws.
There will be no difference OF opinion
on these recommendations except per-
haps, the general revenue for school
purposes, prorating taxation and school
land rental apportionmens among the
different school districts.
Governor Cruce is to he chief eXecu-
tive of the state for four years, with a
single term limit in the Constitution.
This relieves him from the temptation
Of playing politics, and surely gives no
excuse for others to withhold their
support of his administration. The be-
neiits accruing from good government
touch all citizens alike, of whatever
political party, those of office but those
filling them.
Oklahoma has gone through the Ipio-
neer period OF statehood, as it did once
through that of territorial government
1t behooves all citizens to present the
best side OF Oklahoma to the outside
world, that the state may reap its full
reward for its natural resources un
Kindred 10y extreme political partyism
at the expense OF good laws aud their
observance, and through good
government, greater prosperity OF

Definite Move For State
Road.

A definite IN yemcnt for the build.
ing and operation Of line of railroad
by the state of Oklahoma in order TO
help the freight rate situation was
started at hearing in the senate cham.
Der Friday night before the public SER
vice corporations committees Of the
two houses, at which the proposition
was endorsed by representatives Of or
panized labor. the commercial and
manufacturing interests and the farm
crs' organ cations Of the state.
The plan suggested is for the present
session OF the legislature 20 provide
for commission working in harmony
with the corporation commission to
decide on location and other details
OF the projected line, after which a bill
providing for bond issue of from s5,-
100000 to 100000 for the construc-
ton Of the new line either should be
initiated or passed 10y special session
Of the legislature called for that pur-
pose.
Speakers at the hearing who gave
their endorsement to the proposed plan
included j. II. Johnson, manager of
the traffic bureau of the Oklahoma City
Chamber Of Commerce Il f. Bisbee,
of Morris 4 CO., packers George A.
Henshaw, state corporation cOmmissi-
oner j. Luther Laugston, secretary Of
the state federation Of labor: William
Garrison, former president of the farm
crs' union; Charles =. Daugherty
state labor commissioner, and Il. W
Vance, representing the Order of Rail.
way Conduc tors.
The most extended argument in be.
half of the idea was made by Mr.. John
ston, speaking on behalf Of the ship
pers and commercial interests of Okla.
homa City and the state. He asserted
that 10y building such road the state
not only would give the corporation
commission n yardstick 10y which il
might measure the other railroads oi
the state, but would help the state ot
Oklahoma to control interstate rates
which was Of even greater Importance
This could be done, according to Mr.
Johnston, by building across the Red
river to the first station in Texas, wher
the advantage of the rates from Gal
weston to Texas points, which are on
tirely satisfactory, could be secured.

Not Full Approval

lie also mentioned the plan, which
had been suggested already, of amend
ing the constitution so as TO allow the
state to guarantee the bonds of some
other road, and referred To what had
been done along that line in Alberta,
Can, but he did not seem to view that
idea with particular approval.
Mr.. Bisbee declared that there was
an absolute necessity for something
that would lodge control of the roads
where it could be reached by the Okla
homa shipper. In reply to questions
as to whether line from northwest TO
southwest would be paying one, he
expressed the belief that it would, as
the grain, cattle and hogs of the north
west need al outlet, aud all Of the i'm
ported articles could be sent back there.
The question was raised as to wheth-
or the existing roads would not COM
bine to prevent state road from get.
ting an outlet, to which Mr.. Bsbee
replied that this v ould be true of many
OF the lines, but that the Orient on the
west is independent and anxious to
form such an alliance, while similar
arrangements could probably be made
on the east side of the state with the
VI. o. & G.. and the Kansas City South
eEn. lie stated that the products Of

to Wichita and Kansas City instead of
Oklahoma City, although they are pay-
ing 70 cents more for hogs here than at
Wichita. their lowest hog price during
the past week having been equal to
Wichita's highest price.
Mr.. Henshaw declared that it is now
the policy Of the railroads to discourage
manufacturers in Oklahoma and make
this a consuming state. He claimed
that discriminating freight rates had
resulted in shutting down brick and
cement plants in various places and
that the railroads would succeed 10
their efforts TO shut down the Oklaho-
ma City packing house unless come
additional power gets behind the com.
mission, lie declared that the rail
roads had been making good money in
the state even on the rates prescribed
by the commission, and cited the case
Of the Wichita Falls q Northwestern,
a new road, built at an actual cash ex-
penditure of less than $4,000 a mile,
which netted 5000 a mile last year,
He announced, lncidently, that that
road would be extended on north
through Woodward into Kansas, with
a branch west through Beaver county.
Question of Effect
The question Of the effect OF Section
Q of article g. was raised during Mr.
lIenshaw's talk, and he expressed the
belief that neither the repeal of that
section nor the section denying foreign
the right Of eminent do
main would affect the control of the
over railroads, although he
claimed that no good results would be
obtained 10y such repeal
Definite plans regarding the bond is
sue were suggested by Mr.. Vance, who |
also suggested as the most feasible To-
sation a line from extreme northwest
10 extreme southwest, running through
oklahoma City, with another north !

of course, reverted to even innings,
