DIsAPPRoyEs OF TAFT.

So Senator Bourne does not favor
President Taft for denomination,
and will not even support him, II
nominated. At least that is the in
ference one gathers from reading a
statement in a Portland newspaper
that declares that Senator Bourne
has written letter to his consitu-
ents in Oregon, opposing Taft and To-
voring LaFolIette." The position of
the Oregon senator is unique.
Here we have man who is an
avowed candidate to succeed himself,
and who will go before the voters of
Oregon at the coming primaries early
next year, and ask republican voters
to designate him as their choice for
senator who. at the same time, says
to them that he will not support the
choice of his party for president, If
that choice happens to be President
Taft, as now seems certain. Oregon
has many and various brands of poll
itics and politicians, but this latest
spectacular stunt of Senator Bourne
surpasses all former displays. OF
course Senator Bourne has a right to
favor whom he wishes for any office,
but he is hardly exercising good judg-
ment, it would seem, in announcing
fight on any candidate Of his party
thus early in the game, unless he be-
lieves that he is strong enough with
the people of Oregon to dictate to
them whom they shall support. 1t
may be possible that the voters of this
state will take Bourne at his word
and relegate him to the "has beens'
along with the Wisconsin progressive
whom he favors.
Senator Bourne declares that it is
not on account of the tariff that he
opposes Taft, for the tariff is of mi
nor Importance but because the
President has used his power of pat
ronage to build up a strong political
machine which would re-nominate
him in 1912. 1t thus appears tnat
Bourne has no use for Federal patron
age and yet, If our memory serves,
this is the same Oregon senator who
chased President Taft all over the
New Jersey golf links one day en-
deavoring to impress upon him that
the handling of Federal patronage in
Oregon by Bourne was absolutely es-
sential to his (Taft's) success. 1t ap-
pears that patronage is diabolical
thing--when the other fellow has 1t.
The present position of Senator
Bourne. is a new one in political his
tory, and it is a display of nerve which |
finds no modern parallel.

I'VE have had the recall in Oregon
for 10 years and no judge has suf-
fered." says a newspaper in support Of
the judicial recall. That statement
was unwise While no judge may have
been removed from office, we have
lately observed the attempt to recall
one merely because certain instruc-
tions which he gave to a jury in a
murder case, displeased a small hand
ful of people i'm the city wherein the
killing was committed and where both
the murdered man and his slayer re-
sided. Yet those instructions are
averred by prominent legal lights of
the state, to be well within the law,
and only such as the Court could give
under the circumstances Yet popu-
lar feeling ran to so high a pitch that
the more rabld ones launched move
ment to invoke the recall on the jurist,
declaring that he was in league with
the criminal element. or some such
parallel reason. While the recall idea
flourished in the city where IL was
born, it was not welcome elsewhere
In the district, and il appears that II
viii fail. Yet IL has had its effect.
While it did not, and probably Will
not remove the judge from office, 1t
stirred up a bitter strife that will re-
quire years to heal, and people have
been put 10 needless expense. The
recall as applied TO civil Office holders
has It's points OF merit, but to subject
the courts to the Vaccinations Of poll
ticians. the ward heelers and the bar
room bum, is 10 strike blow at the
very foundation OF government The
Courts are above that sort of thing,
The men who occupy places on the
bench have been placed there because
the people had confidence in their
ability: history holds few instances
where such confidence has been
abused.

The Girls school at Chickasha has
enrolled approximately 250 pupils
an increase OF about l50 per cent
This is largely due to the fact that
the school is now housed in its own
home. one Of the handsomest school
buildings in Oklahoma.
Notwithstanding that the prepara
:ory department at the state Univer-
sity was eliminated there has been
no falling Off IN attendance. but an
increase which means that between
iiO and lis more pupils have enroll.
ed this year than last year.
Especially gratifying reports have
been received by the State Depart.
ment Of Education regarding the
work being done BY supt 0. w. Ste
wart. OF the Blind school Zone OF the

the place. He received his educa-
ton in the blind school Of Texas and
Is thoroughly equipped for the train
ing OF the unfortunate blind. He has
improved the buildings and grounds
and has shown in various ways his
sympathies for the afflicted children.
and Is leaving nothing undone to add
to their care an dcomfort He has
received many letters from parents

er Ballard Of the Oklahoma Insurance

was required to answer charges Of

ed during the past week before the

reply to the charges 1t is said that
the representatives Of the company
admitted guilt, as charged. and prom
ised to recall the offending pamph-

all agents in the State Of Oklahoma

sioner Ballard censured the company,
deprecating any attempt on the part
Of competing companies to injure
other companies by circulating liter
ature containing false statements
and misleading statistics, and the
Commissioner added that in case Of
future complaints being brought
against life insurance companies, pro-

serve as sufficient cause for instant
revocation Of the license of the Of

il would be 10 the best interests of the

have been piling up a surplus In the
bank for several years and there has
been some talk OF using this money
10 make a reduction in the taxes.
That is all very well, but as the

THE MEASUREMENTS CHURCH.

There is some talk Of getting money
enough together this fall after an
abundant harvest to build a church
says the Holibird News. The most of
Us don't care what denomination so
long as We have a church where We
can have preaching. If the News was
going 10 start a church we would not
want as a member one who spends
his money for Injuries when his
neighbor a few blocks away is suffer
ing for the necessaries of life. nor
would We want a woman there who
goes for the sole purpose of putting
her new bonnet on exhibition. nor a
man who carries with him the AFRO
CANT thought that Il am holier than
thou. A church is expected TO have
as its foundation a divine or biblical
material, but its teachings should be
along the line of ~self-sacriice which
constitutes the religion of simplicity
and sincerity. Deeds should be
than doctrines, charity greater than
dogma. and there should be no var
nish Of sanctity over a heart Of world
illness for personal righteousness is
far more difficult to attain than cor
rect views on total ~depravity. Prac-
teal christianity does not greatly con
Germ itself with the appearance of
things or with ecclesiastical shams.
It's instinct is h~opefulness; its motive
purity; its object is to be unto the
weakest and worst OF mankind what
the Master was 10 the vilest of His
followers, so that these practical and
charitable things well make up the
principal creed whenever the News
editor starts his church.

REDUCTION is NEEDED.

The Register believes that the e.
forts Of the Commercial club toward
a Greater Brookinss should be sup
~plemented By an action Of the city
council looking TO a reduction in the
telephone. light and power rates. The
present excellen. financial condition
o. The city warrants such action and
We believe that the municipality owes
Il 10 the consumers who have paid
high rates for years and put the
plants OF a paving basis 70 make this
reduction. And there is no doubt that
& reduced rate wovld enable enough
more citizens TO avail themselves Of
the service 70 more than make up for
The decreased revenue.
In other cities Of this size where
the public utilities are privately
owned The patrons are being served
al a less price than is charged in
B~rookings. and the plants are making
money. Why cannot Brookngs'
municipaly-owDed plants do the same?
There is no question but what ii
would be one Of the very best adver-
tisemeuts the city could have, and
one that would undoubtedly attract
favorable notice from people who are
looking for a home.
The present rates are not excessive
by any means. but they are some
than in other cities in this
