THE CITY PRIMARY.

II does not seem necessary to eau
tion the good citizens of Chickasha
against becoming unduly excited over
the coming primary. On the contrary
judging from the present state of the
public mind, we have reason to ap-
prehend that it may be pulled off with
out any one but the candidates and a
few professional politicians knowing
much about it.
We notice in the papers that num-
Der Of good fellows are running and
soms Of them are more or less indus
triously making medicine Most of
them have promised us that they will
do their best to fill the various offices
acceptably if they are elected and that
is very good-they could scarcely af-
ford to promise less-but what we
want to know is What are all you citi-
zens who are ever eager for honest,
economical efficient government, do
ing just now to find out exactly what
kind Of public servants these appli-
cants for jobs will make? You don't
hire man to work for you simply be-
cause he is a good fellow, a friend Of
your friend, "step-sister" or broth
er in your lodge or church, or for any
other like reason; you simply want to
know whether he is qualified to make
good and is the kind of man that can
be depended upon. You ought to apply
the same test to the men who want
your votes in the primary March 2I.
AS good citizrc it is our duty to
see that good men are nominated for
every office and II necessary to use
our influence to cause them to become
candidates. We want to nominate
men who are thoroughly committed to
economy OF administration, efficiency
in every subordinate office. the en-.
enforcement OF ali laws. and who are

Whereas; said election was held and
conducted, and the returns thereof
made, canvassed and certified as re-
qulred by law, and,
Whereas; it appears from said re-
turns of said election that more than
sixty per cent of the electors voting al
such electio, voted in favcs Of trans
ferring the territory embraced within
said township from Caddo county and
that the same be joined to and made
part of Grady county.
Now therefore, I, Lee Cruce, COVER

Fences Ward on Rabbits.

Owing to the increase of rabbits in
certain parts Of Australia movement
has been started In the Armidale dis
trict to construct barrier fence along
the eastern side of Central New Eng
land. This will serve to ward off the
rodents, which now abound In the
rough country along the edge Of the
tableland. These rabbits are begin
ming to crowd westwards, and are al
ready making their presence felt on
the adjoining country The sugges-
tion is to link up the rabbit-proof fen
ces which already exist along the edge
OF the more settled area from Walcha
to Glen Innes districts, and thus cut
OFF the rough country where the rab-
bits are thick, and where there is no
chance of keeping them under.

educate theii girls in separate insti-

ing to the wishes Of citizenship with
completely Of views on education.
Now the fact is, governor, that those
citizens who send theid daughters to
such school expect to have them
surrounded with all possible safe.
guards and protection. They expect
the college authorities to make for
them a home circle with all the re-
strants and influences which they
have in their own homes and this can
not be done without the dormitory sys-
tenn. Evedy state that has established
such a school has recognized this fact
and has provided dormitories. II is,
therefore, not an innovation that we
are urging. On the contrary ii would
be an innovation for Oklahoma to de-
part from the policy which the exper-
fence Of other states has demonstrated
to be wise and necessary.
The girls school in chlckasha can
not carry out it's mission without dor
mtories. The state has already ex-
pended 100000 for its equipment and
X would be folly now, unworthy of any
sort a statsnanship, to fallato make

that you base your decision on the

will do that.

We are aware Of the fact, governor
that you are fully competent TO attend
to the states business without our as
slstance. but we know you are very
busy man and we are going to help you
out on a hard problem whenever we
can.
What interests US just now, COVER
nor, is the bill for dormitcry which
the legislature has passed up to you.
Ne think this bill should receive your
approval and we shall give you some
reasons for so thinking.
We realize that our local interests
in the bill may seem to dlsqualify US
to sit in dlspassionate judgment upon
It and yet we believe we can view II
with an impartial eye.
We do not ask you to sign this bill

conduct for assuming that you will be
Influenced by anything other than the
public interest in deciding the fate Of
this measure.
We agree with you, governor, in
the opinion which you expressed in
your message on the Edmond normal

The industrial institute and College
is the only school In the state which
is designed exclusivelysfor the educa-
tion Of girls. Its needs are not to be
measured by those of any other insti-
tuition because il is i'm class by itself
and there is no other school that can
be used as basis Of comparison. The

If there is any reason on earth why
an ordinance against liquor selling
should not be enacted, we can't figure
out what il is.
1t is true that on the general question
of prohibition there is much valid ar.
gument on both sides, but that Issue
isn't involved in the pendinf ordi-
nance. The fact is that we have pro-
hibition by state law and the state law
as interpreted by our courts makes it
incumbent upon municipal officers to
aid in its enforcement but here in

whereby offenders against the law can
be tried in city court. Consequently

resting bootleggers are not doing so
and the fines that the city should be

Alderman Petty is eminently right
in the position which he has taken as

This is putting it on a mere business
basis and IT is alone sufficient reason
why the proposed ordinance should be
adopted. A stronger reason is sim

Star Theater Sunday night on March
5th tells story that is as new and
entertaining as its title. 1t deals with
a theme that is daring and delicate,

Mr.. Pascoe, in his development Of the
theme has produced characters and
situation that amaze one with the won
derful frankness of the deliniation.
Avoiding the old worn lines laid down
by most pIayrights he has produced
play that shows clearly his belief
that there are men who are not tailor
dummies, heroes who can show their
manhood by nobler signs than con-
tempt for all decency and heroines
who sometimes blush and whose heart
responds to the real passion that
makes the world go round. He evil

and the unusualness Of this theme and

him a well merited success.
