Science School
Opens Sept. IL

The State School of Science op-
ems on September 18th and every
thing will be in readiness and a
very large enrolment is expec-
ted.
There have been a few changes
in the faculty. In place of Prof.
Burch will be found Edward H.
Jones, A. NJ, of the University of
Wisconsin. Prof. Jones has
been an instructor in the Biology
department of the University of
Wisconsin for the last two years
and comes to us recommended as
one Of the best men sent out by
the institution in years.
The chemistery department
formerly in charge of Prof. Dar-
ner, will be in charge Of George
p. Wolf, A. NJ, also of the Uni-
yersity of Wisconsin. He has had
several years of successful exper-
ience and was recommended by
the University Of Wisconsin au-
thorities as their best candidate
for the position. This is an i'm
portant department Of our institu
ton and we feel that it will be
ably administered by Prof. Wolf.
Van I. Ward, A. b., who is to
have charge Of athletics, gradua-
ted from Oberlin College four
years ago mad since that time
has successfully coached athletic
teams in Washington, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Last year he
was with the Central high school
of st. Paul and all the teams he
put out did the school credit, not
only in character of work but also
in the general manliness of con-
duct and sportsman-like spirit.
Mr.. Ward believes in hitting the
line hard but hitting it on the
square, He also. believes that
every institution should give
physical training to all its stu
dents rather than to a few who
represent it on its various teams.
Mr.. Hubert Warren is again to
have charge of the band. He
has been in Chicago during the
summer studying with one of the
best musicians of that city and is
coming back with greater en-
thusiasm, if possible, than ever.
He expects to start out with at
least thirty pieces and several in
struments which have never been
used in the Science School band.
The new gymnasium is practi-
cally ready for use. The lights
have been ordered and will prob
ably be installed by the opening
day.
A new concrete sidewalk has
been laid around the oval on the
east side of the grounds extend
ing to the southern limit. The old
board walk south of the Science
School has been condemned and
concrete walk is to be put in its
place by the city, the owner, who
is a nonresident, having refused
to put it in. This will complete
the concrete walk from Dakota
avenue to the Science School.
The Ibsen monument stands at
the entrance to the grounds and
is ready to cordially welcome all
students and visitors. 1t really
is a noble addition to the school
environment.

Crude Oil Supply Failing.

Muskogee, May 22,-The crude
oil sitnatiau in the United States
has reached the seriOns stage and
unless the mld.continent field can
increase its Outpnt TO "a marked
extent the outlook for the future
is far from promising.
Statistics taken from the re.
ports of the standard aud its sub
sidiary companies and the ihde'
pendent companies as well, dis
closed the fact that the product
ion in the east particularly in
Ohio and Pennsylvania is fast dy'
ing out, and were it not for the
Oklahoma and Cahfcrnia fields
the supply of oil in the United
States today would be as nothing
compared to the demand.

Crowdiag the Negro Out.

Kansas City. May 22.-The sin

foreign labor to that of the negro
citizen" is doing the American
negro an injustice, according 10

African methodist Episcopal con
ference today,
ave remind the white citizens
of this unfairness," says the re-
port, sin view of the fact that the
negro in unrequited labor of 25O
years felled the American forest,
tunnelled aud bridged American
rivers and titled the soil, while
the white man reveled in the ad-
vantages of education, leisure aud
wealth made possible by negro

The Globe.Democrat makes tho
following statement as TO the
popular vote cast for Republican
and Democratic candidates for
president: "Thc largest popular
vote ever cast by the Republican
party was that for Taft four years
ago. Tafps total Was 7,67S,9Os
In 1904 Roosevelt received 1928,
400. His plurality Wan largely
due TO tho weakness Of Parker
whose vote wan only 5,077,0ll
while four years later Bryan's to-
tal vote was 6,409,l04, Bryan ha'
been tho Democratic vote ge,ler
obtaining IN all his three battles
about 100000 votes more than
we're given to any other president
ial nominee Of the party. Popu
ls,ion considered, MoRinley's TO
tai, both IN 1895 and 1900, WAS or
the same level with Tafl's anc
Roosevelts. Mckinley received
In 1896 7,l04,779 votes and ID
1900 1907, ,923."

Ohio for Roosevelt.

Columbus, o., May 22,-Ah ID
aieations point to decisive
sweep for Roosevelt in his ONO
contest against Taft for the BE
publican presidential nomination
Itis estimated Roosevelt will have
a plurality of 10000 over Taft
The count up Ito noon showed
that Taft had carried only three
entire districts. There is spit
In two districts.
Democratic returns show Har'
mon far in tho lead of wilson,
wh,le Clark and Bryan got scat
tering votes. Harmon's majority
will exceed the Roosevelt margin
of victory.
Early indications were tha'
Roosevelt supporters would dom
ieate in the state convention
which will name the delegates at
Jorge. Probably Gov. Harmon
psrsonally, will name his own
statewide delegates, as provided
in the party rule.

Government 10 Protect lsTse.

President Scott of the Craw.
ford county leyee board, has re-
criyed letter from u. 5. Senator
Clark, in which he stated that he
had succeeded in having inserted
IN the river and harbOr appropri-
alton bill an item of $4,000 TO be
spent in protecting the Arkansas
river banks III front of the ieree
from caving and destroying the
work.
The item will have to run the
gauntlet of a committee, bnt there
is every reason for believing that
the item will be passed with the
general river and harbOr appro-
priation bill. Messrs. Scott and
Matlock have been working for
some time to secure this appro-
priation, and it is hoped that it
will slip through, for unless the
government take some steps to
prevent the caving of the river
bank in front of the levee, it will
be only a question of one or two
years before the leyee at one
point is destroyed.
