NJ CURE DECLARES STEPHENS
WAS ANIMATED BY POLITICS

Washington, d. c., Mar. 4-Repre-
sentative Bird S. Mcclure, whose
name was brought into the Gore
charges and who was singled out by
Representative Stephens in his min
ority report, says politics animated
the Texan in making the report.
'The whole course ef Mr.. Stephens
on the inyestigating committee has
been a studied effort to find some
thing that might be used to political
advantage in Oklahoma" says Nc
Guire. Notice the animus and blind
partisanship suggested in one OF his
questions. He was charged with the
solemn obligation, on his oath, to
make an honest investigation, and
when he found there was nothing, in
his desperation he so far forgot him.
self as to ask me when | was making
a statement to the committee, whether
it was not fact that in the last con.
gress I had secured three federal build
ings and he only one, as if it were a
crime to do more than he had done.
In conclusion Representative Nc.
CURE said: THE other democrat on
the Gore investigating committee is
one among the ablest men in congress
whose ability and integrity no one
questions. He would not permit party
prejudice to affect his Judgment. He
voted with the republicans and if Mr.
Stephens had been the same kind OF
a man he would have done the same
His minority report means nothing
because there is not one single word
|of testimony to back it. Mr.. Stephens
like every other public man, has had
his official character assailed a hun
dred times, wrongfully, l hope, and i
other members of congress were al
marrow and partisan as he, commit
tee composed of men of his type coult
destroy his reputation and take hin
out of public life at any time as they
could any of the rest of us, If sucf
partisan reports meant anything.

Hunting to Cost Less.

Oklahoma City, Mar At will cost
nonresident hunters but SIS for hunt
ing privileges in Oklahoma, according
to a bill which has passed the house.
The present fee is s25. The fine for
without license, however. is
Increased from $40 to $50.
The advance was brought about by
the fact that nonresident hunters
could enter the state and hunt without
] license, and, if detected, they could
be fined only $10 Thus it was sis
cheaper to violate the law And, again,
he stood a chance OF not being caught,

Newspapers Win Victory.

Oklahoma City, Mar. 4.--Local news
paper publishers won a victory in the
senate when that body adopted an
amendment to the school land sale
bill, which does away with the neces-
sity of advertising land sales in out-of-
state papers, The bill now provides
that the advertisement shall be placed
in one newspaper of general state cir
culation, and in the paper Of the
county wherein the sale is to be held.

HIGH SCHOOL IN
RURAL DISTRICT
Bill ApprOpriatins 100000 to Assist
in Building High School Has
Passed the House.

Oklahoma City, Mar Alt appears
that the little red school house" in
Oklahoma will soon become an insti-
tuition of the past known only in song
and story, and in its place there is to
be built modern high school where
every country boy and girl in the state
will have the opportunity to secure
complete high school education with
out having to leave the environment
and influences of the home.
A bill appropriating two million dol
lars for the purpose of assisting in
the construction of rural high schools
has been passed by the house of repre-
sentatives and will in all probability
be enacted by the senate. Other legis-
lation now pending will make it easy
for the school districts to consolidate
and the money given by the state will
encourage the immediate formation of
these consolidated or union rural
schools.
The money made available, if this
bill becomes law, will be used to as
sist the consolidated districts by pay
ing one-half Of the cost of erecting the
school building, provided that the
amount does not exceed $4,000. The
district that participates in the bene-
fit of this fund must embrace a terri
tory of at least 25 square miles. BY
having large districts able principals
and competent teachers can be secur-
ed without much additional expense to
the patrons, and the farmers children
will have the same advantages of grad
ed school work and competent teach
ers now possessed only by those who
can attend the city schools.
This legislation is in line with the
platform of State Superintendent R.
8 H. Wilson in the late primary election
campaign. Mr.. Wilson has studied
this question thoroughly and has inn
proved every opportunity to explain
the advantages to the members of the
legislature and to urge state assist
ance for these schools and he is par
ticularly gratifed with the progress
that has been made and he hopes for
a complete realization of his plans.
In an interview given out today by
Superintendent Wilson in regard to
this innovation he says:
zone of the most important educa-
tional measures ever passed in this
state is the bill appropriating $2,000,-
900 as state aid for consolidated or
union rural schools. l have discussed
this measure with many of the most
influential members of both houses and
they are unit in the opinion that this
is one of the crowning efforts of Ok
lahoma to place her rural schools upon
a plane with the schools in the best
cities. The tendency has been to give
q too little attention to the country
schools. The state schools OF Okla
homa have been generously provided
for by former legislatures. This step
completes the system and makes a
leed way from the country school
through the graded school to the high
er state Institutions No better plan
for bridging the chasm between the
country schools and the state institu
tions could easily have been devised.

the most surprising is that society

tends only to clog the skin pores and
eventually cause rough and bad com

lotions are all the go. They do not rub
off as easily as powder and give the
skin that soft, velvety effect so much

ingredients are inexpensive and can be
bought at any drug store. This lotion
is a wonderful remedy for a shiny,
