BACK NUMBER" PREACHERS.

The most conspicuous back mum
bers in the country now are rural
preachers" declared Dean skinner OF
Purdue university the other day.
Back number how-in what respect q?
Certainly not in the sense that they
no longer preach the gospel OF Christ
I'm the simple way that Is most eff
fective. Perhaps Christ is also a
back number" and from he trend
OF many OF the "up-todate" urban
sermons some OF the ministerial
progressives seem so to consider
Him. II is true that most of the pul.
pit sensations and vaudeville are
seen in the cities and not in the coun
try. II that proves the rural clergy
to be behind the times 1t IS much to
their credit.
The rural preacher needs no de-
fender. He is following the most no.
BILE Of all calling and he IS follow
ing a purer form OF that calling than
his more "uptodate" brother who
places scholarship above simple faith.
The rural minister has blazed the
way for all civilizations since the he
ginning OF the Christian era. when
the pioneers penetrated the wilder

small communities around the stall

peace and piety to the outposts. In

THE GROWTH OF OKLAHOMA.

William T.. Curtis. Of the Chicago
Record-Herald, one OF the greatest
OF contemporary journalists, came
TO Oklahoma to take look at the
wild and woody crop OF 'Sooners,
who are on the spot building d
great state. He prefaces his re-
marks on what he discovered with
the statement that we will refer
to Oklahoma as the Miracle state
because OF the wonderful things
that have occurred in its history,
and because It's growth and develop
ment have been more rapid than
that Of any other community in hu-
man history
quite right. William, quite right.
He also discovered that the
young state has in round numbers a
population OF 100000 people, and
that the population, according to
government figures. Is increasing at
the rate OF 20 per cent per year.
Still more astounded was he to dis
cover that In the year 1909 Oklaho-
ma harvested crops worth 1921, 1885,
the stateetaoicmfwyshrdmMB MBM
900 and the values OF livestock in
the state was $138172,O 900
And here are some more pertin-
ent facts along The same line.
Oklahoma has more mules than any
other state In the union except
Missouri and more than the states
OF Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined. Oklahoma has
more horses than Kentucky has hors-
es and cattle combined. There are
$4,000 horses in the state and they
are valued at $G5,124,OO There
are $4,000 mules in Oklahoma and
they are valued at $20,055, 900, gov
eminent values. The figures on
milch cows and beef cattle are stag
gering. There are 1,137,OOO beef cat
tie valued at $31, 10000, and there
are $4,000 milch cows valued at
$l1,lS2,200, and there are ,302. 900
hogs valued at $lOO25, 900, while the
wives Of oklahoma farmers showed
acros the counters of retail stores
last year two million dollars worth
of eggs.
These figures. according to Mr.
Curtis ideas. are rather staggering
for a new state that has been on
the map just three years and is
barely hitting its normal gait. And
the longer he stays the more i'm

DEPUTY SHERIFF
KILLS NEGRO
WHILE RESISTING ARREST-THE
NEGRO TRIES TO DRAW A
GUN.

A negro by the name of Boney
Roberts was shot and instantly
killed on the streets of Berwyn to-
day by Deputy Sheriff Corbett.
Roberts was resisting arrest at the
time the killing took place.
From information received, it
seems that Roberts caught the dep
uty sheriff and held him Saturday,
while he was trying to arrest an
other party, and today while the
deputy was trying to arrest him for
the part he played in saturdays
proceedings the negro tried to pull
his gun and shoot. The officer
beat him to it, however, and shot
him dead. Telephone communica-
tions from Berwyn state that every
thing is quiet and that no further
trouble is feared.
Sheriff Garrett went to Berwyn
today and will take charge Of the
affair.

not what We want, but what we
can afford to pay for" is the policy
adopted by Governor Cruce. At last
the science OF government in at least
one state Of the union has been re-
duced 10 the same standard or ponc!
a prudent man adopts in the manage
ment Of his own affairs. Who Of us
would not enjoy the luxury Of e1pen-
slye summer vacation trips. automo-
1lles, etc, but how few Of US can af-
ford them. The same rule is true in
state affairs. ANY state would Ike
TO have magnificent appropriations
for schools and colleges and Confed'
crate Homes and We might add that
there Is a need for such appropria-
ations but can the state afford to pay
for them Is the question that should
first be asked.
Oklahoma has established too
many state institutions. the appropri-
atoms asked for them are too burden
some upon the taxpayers Of the state.
The same lineup among the members
Of the legislature that resulted in the
creation OF all these different institu-
tons can De relied upon to make ap-
propriations for their maintenance,
for their improvements and for addi-
tions to be made to them. SO 1t is
very clear that II appropriations that
are unreasonable are kept down II
must be by the governor OF the state
and that by the use OF the veto
power
Governor Cruce has exhibited
vast amount OF courage in taking the
steps he has taken to protect the

II Christian faith is to be preserved
in It's pristine purity it must be done
very largely by the country preacher
Certainly many OF the high-salaried
sensationalists in the city pulpits
never think nowadays Of preaching
Christ and Him crucified. They wan
der far into sociological and econom-
ic paths, but they bear no semblance
to the meek and lowly Nazarine. u
course, not all urban preachers are OF
this type. Thousands OF them are
earnest and sincere Christians en-
deayoring in their minlstrations to
be Christ-like. But the simple SIN
cerity OF Christianity Is more often
found in the humble and poorly paid

Gov Cruce the Financier. Not the Politician

a wise fnancier and not that OF a
politician.
In cutting out appropriations, MI.
Cruce included his own home town.
The money appropriated for tne
building OF a Confederate hospital
was cut out Of the appropriations. 1t
would have been very nice 10 have
had that building in Ardmore, the
people of this city would have appre-
ciated II. the Confederate veterans
would have been pleased to have that
appropriation made but when the
state has given the INDECENT soldier
a good home with all the modern con-
yeniences, gives him clothing, food,
physician and superintendent 1t has
done much for him and the old sol
der can do very we'll without the hos
pital until the state RECEIVERS from
the present tax rate and at least until
the corporations OF the state begin
to pay their taxes so the people will
know Just what the revenue OF the
state is. The governor will be loudly
criticised, but he had the courage to
do what he has done and he will have
the courage 10 stand up under the
criticism of the disappointed people.
1t is just as foolish for state to
90 beyond its means as it Is for an
Individual to pursue ruinous spend
thrift habits and Governor Cruce is
to be commended for the course he
has pursued. He has set valuable
precedent in the state, he has taught
valuable lesson to other states OF
the union, and he has made valu-
able example for citizens OF the state
in the encouragement of economy and
AGAINST spendthrift habits.
we believe that We should be equally
as free with commentator and there

ernor Cruce when he makes an ap-
pointment OF merit or an act OF credit.
In this connection we are more than
pleased to endorse the appointment

appointed by Governor Cruce to the
judgeship of that district. Mr.. Davis
