full Ceremonies.

the occasion being the laying of
the corner stone of the new Gov
eminent building which is under
contract to be completed May,

The ceremonies were in charge
of the local lodge of Masons who
performed in a manner that could
not be improved upon.
The Masons have long been
noted for their impressive cere-
monies, hospitality and good fell
lowship, but it can be truthfully
said that they did themselves
more than proud on this memoir
able occasion and the manner in
which they conducted the services
will live long in the memories of
those present. In the parade were
about $50 Masons, there being
many here from other lodges
throughout the State.
Hon. Robt. r. Burnam, of
Richmond, Grand Master of the
Masonic Lodge. officiated at the
laying of the corner stone and
later, introduced Congressman
John W. Langley, who made a
speech praising the citizens of our
Metropolitan City," and predict
ed that this was only the begin
ming of the Government buildings
that would be placed in the Tenth
Congressional District.
Following Congressman Lang
ley Rev. j. w. Porter, the gifted
Baptist minister and orator, of
Lexington, made the finest adj
dress of the day.
After the conclusion of the cere
monies an elegant luncheon was
served in the old Presbyterian
church building and a most enjoy
able time was had. Grilla's Band
of Lexington furnished excellent
music all during the day. Below
we give the program of the day:

.CHILO GREATEST ECONOMIC
PROBLEM TO Be CONSIDERED

San Francisco, Cal July 14.-The
Keynote sounded in paper by Miss
Elsie M. Shave, of ST. Paul, Mimi.
president of the music department of
the National Education Association.
at a section meeting of the associa-
tion today, on Public School Music in
Relation to the Music of the Com
munity," was that public school music
is one of the largest factors in the
making of America musical nation.
Music in its relation to the home
was first considered. Germany" said
the speaker "is said to owe the pre-
eminent place it does in the musical
world today to music in the home.
One of our foremost musicians in
4 america today-a Germany by birth
has said that he owes his musical gift,
not to his father, who was noted as
a conductor, virtuoso and composer,
but rather to the lullabies and other
simple folk-song that he heard from
MS earliest infancy from his mothers
lips,
How can our public schools assist
IN bringing more music and music of
better quality into the home? BY
having nothing but the best music
sung or played in the school. and Sec
ond by including in the course of
study many beautiful folk and other
simple but good songs, which through
oye and familiarity the child viii nat
lrally carry to his home. With the
advent of the mechanical piano-player
md talking machine in the school, the
supervisor has an additional respons-
bility, as it becomes the duty of the
supervisor to select music for the
children to hear that will cultivate in
hem an appreciation Of the very best
n the art of music"

ADVERTISING Talk

You need the best weapons wher
the campaign is the most strenuous
No general would think of partly OF
entirely disarming his troops just be
fore the biggest battle is to be fought
These same principles apply also
to business house. Some merchants
in order to curtail expenses during
the dull season of the year, begin by
cutting down their advertising ex.
.penses.
Don't throw away your weapons
when the hardest battle remains to
be fought Don't discontinue or de-
crease your advertising when hot
weather arrives.
At no time of the year will adyertis-
ing space serve YOU better than right
now, If you advertise right.
Investigate circulation claims of
the papers you advertise in and make
sure that for the amount of money
you are spending, you are reaching
the greatest possible number Of peo-
pie, and then advertise persistently
and 1udiciously and solicit business
through the columns of a live news
paper as If though you really wanted
It, and results will be certain.

CAVE-IN At SAPULPA
RESULTS IN ONE DEATH

Sapulpa, Okla, July 1S.-As the re
suit of cave-in at the location of the
big dam west of the city Monday, Ben
Tabor, who went on the work only an
hour before the accident happened,
lost his life by being buried under the
falling earth and then drowned in the
water and mud at the bottom of the
stream before he could be liberated.
Charles Leonard and A. Pulaski, of
Oklahoma City and Guthrie respective.
ly, were caught in the same fall and
injured, but not seriously.
The men had been lowering the bed
of the creek to bring water a little
closer to- the dam under construction
and the wet sand gave way with the
above result. The men were all new
comers on the job. The body of the
unfortunate man was, brought to the
city by Undertaken Burlington and the
injured to their boarding houses in
this city.
This is the first accident occurring
on the works.

According to authentic statistics the
people of the United States drank
63,OOO,O0O barrels of beer in the twelve
months ending June 80, and whiskey
amounting to $l46,973,000 in value.
The beer consumption shows an in
crease over the preceding year of 6.21
per cent and the whiskey $50 per cent.
These government statistics were an
ticipated in report issued by the
general assemly of the Presbyterian
church in May, when representatives
of that church warned over-zealous
reformers not to run away with an
idea that the Demon Rum had been
cornered and was about to throw up
the sponge. The church's idea, of
course, was that such false notions
might tend to interrupt or retard real
temperance work and 1t did not want
that.
At any rate, nothing is to be gained
for or against either side of the drink
question by misrepresenting the facts
Nor need we become discouraged in
our efforts at temperance by these
figures. The same report that con-
tains them declares that prohibition"
is spreading. These statistics do not
show that intemperance is on the in
crease. We must remember that what
increases are recorded are very slight
as compared with the general growth
In population. And it may be- so far
as these figures show, that temper
ance is absolutely and relatively gain
ng ground. Temperate use of bev-
9rages probably is steadily gaining
'ver intemperance and when that is
he case, the country has much to be
thankful for. There is a very wide

DRASTIC MEASURE
PASSED BY SENATE
Bill Makes it Illegal to Promise Poll.
ticaI Favors in Order to Secure
Support in Election.

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-The
most drastic campaign publicity legis-
lation ever passed in either branch of
congress was adopted by the senate
yesterday without dissenting vote
Using the prediction publicity meas
ure passed by the house Of representa-
tives as a basis the senate has con-
structed a proposed law with the fol-
lowing strong points:
No candidates. for the senate or
the house shall spend in the election
more than a sum equal to 10 cents
for each voter in his district or state
as the same may be- No senatorial
candidate shall spend a total of more
than $4,000 in the primary or gen.
eral election and no candidate for the
house shall spend more than $4,000.
Publicity must be given to all pri-
mary campaign expenditure and such
publication shall be made at least six
days before the elections. All promises
of political jobs must be made public.
The bill further makes it illegal to
promise political favors in order to Sc
cure support or to aid in influencing
the election of any member of a state
legislature.
The bill will probably be passed
after conferences between the two
houses. It originated in the house as
apart of the democratic legislative pro-
gram and was designed to require the
publication of expenditures before the
election, which is not required by the
existing publicity law
Republicans in the house made at
tempts to cover primary election ex-
penses. In the senate the primary
election amendment coupled with little
The senate amendments authorized
by the committee on privileges and
elections requires publicity of all pri-
mary expenses and all pledges of DO

on the ground that the primary cleo

adopted by vote of so to z.

Occasionally you hear of a boy who
has done nothing but spend his par
ents' money all his life coming out of
the kinks and amounting to something.
but it is the exception which proves
the rule. Unless children are made to
appreciate the value of money and the
tenseness of the struggle for existence
early in life, how can they be expected
to acquire it when it is too late? The
great fortunes were accumulated by
and through economy. even priyations.
None of them was ever acquiped by
spendthrift. There are thousands of
men today with the capacity and ener-
gy of captains of industry who might
have been multimilIionaires had they
lust learned, early in life, that a dol
ar means one hundred cents, that it
IS worth hundred times as much as
penny. But they cannot come back

The dickering of the Capitol Build
ing Company of Oklahoma City with
Governor Cruce may look little raw
to the rest of the state, but having
fallen down on its original PROPOSE
tion to give a free capitol what else
Is there left for the company to do.
The 500 acres is probably worth a
good deal less than the amount that
was to be expended but the state
really never entered into a contract
with Oklahoma City to build it a state
capitol. Under the circumstances it
looks like the state would not get
capitol until 1913 and will keep against
their will the terms of the enabling
act in this particular Governor Cruce.
