High School Wins.

Sunday afternoon the High School
team took revenge on the Business
Men for their defeat of the previous
Sunday to the tune Of Z to 1. The
high school boys landed on Billiard,
the Business Mems first pitcher for
six runs at their first time at bat.
Seliman then undertook the twirling
job and Billiard took Kowalski's
place on the receiving end, this prov
ing a more efficient battery, as they
held the high school down to one
run in the remaining eight innings.
The Business Men managed to slip
over one lone run in the first Of the
eighth, thus saving themselves from
a d~isgraceful whitewashing. The
line-ups were:

that tardiness in the schools has de-
creased so per cent while the attend

common SCHOOL COST SIG.
but I'm the Statc schools the Cost for
Pupll Runs up Ia Sill
per Term.

MLOuD, okla, Nov. 4.--Ewers
White, republican member of the
state board Of agriculture. in answer
ms letter from j. Is. Russell OF
Blair, relative to the school situation
in the state, gives him some figures
that are very convincing and show
that "A great wrong Is being perpetu-
ated on the great majority Of the
school chlldIen Of the state. Mr
White says
oklahoma has 556,SOO children
% school age. $4,000 dollars was
appropriated to run the 10 state
schools whore less than 5000 students
were enrolled on the 5th day Of De-
comber, 1911, anl $4,000 was ap-
propriated for the balance of the
children of the state, 1900 The
average cost per student for the
common schools is $1,000 per term
and in the state school more than
$llI00 per term. We ought, in my
judgment make a fight TO do away
with all district agricultural schools
except the one at Goodwell in the
Panhandle, and that one might bo
left as a dry farming proposition. The
other five all told had enrolled 361
students. 353 from the counties
where the schools are located. l65

10
the five schools we're $42, ,225.0O and
the five schools cost the state last
year $S5,000.O0, and will cost $780,
10000 this year.
"The school of mines at Wilburton
had 3S enrolled, 80 of those from
Leflore County and that school cost
the state last year s43, 100000 and the
teachers wages were $12 400, and
most of the term were about ten in
attendance. All six of the schools
that ! have mentioned had enrolled
last year 399 students that cost tho
state t133.000. II that same amount
OF money had been used In the com
mon schools at $500 per pupil per
term S312 children could have re-
ceived a years schooling for what It
cost to schol 399. IL II had been di-
vided among 266 consolidated dis
tricts, giving $500 to each district
with 200 children $4,000 children
could have had as good schooling as
the 399 received. If one half Of the
s775,000 that was spent on the 10
state schools were less than 5000
were enrolled had been divided in
like manner $4,000 children could
have received just as good schooling
as they did get and be at home
where they ought to be.
You state in your letter that you
had enrolled in your school 243 that
cost $500 per pupil per term. That
would be $3.s8S00 that your school
cost you to run when you had nearly
one third as many students as were
enrolled at the A. & M. College al
saltwater, where the president re-
ccives nearly twice as much for his
salary as your entire school cost. He
receives $500 per annum and we

about 100000 and only S3S enrolled,
Going some isn't II? The Board Of
Agriculture that runs seven state
schools only held two meetings all
last year and the ten members drew
frcm the state treasurer for their
valuable services the small sum OF
s5,i53.1+."

Andrcas Bard on immortality.

(From DIR. Bard's sermon delivered
In the Lutheran church OF Hays city,
Kansas, on Sunday morning. Oct.
20th.)
Instinct Is more than reason. Rea-
son argues; instinct perceives. Brown
ing testifes to this fact when setting
aside all discussions concerning
Christ, he exclaims: 81 see Him with
the direct glance Of the souls eye!"
No further proof needed. Reason Is
the circuitous route. Instinct Is :,
straight line.
Consider this Would the Ivy
struggle toward the light, II that light
did not exist? Would the swallow
migrate TO other zones If those zones
could not be found? Would man as
pire to immortality, II immortality
were not a fact?
Let us remember that the God-iu-
stinct Is not the fad Of few. You
find 1t in Robert Ipgersoll as well as
in st. Paul. Standing by the dead
body Of his brother the great Agnos-
tic testifies that listening love hears
the rustic Of a wing" Whatever DIFF
ferences there may be between the
cannibals of Africa and the sages OF
ancient Greece. they concur in tho
hope Of immortality.
Which then, ask, is the more rca-
sonable belief: to say that death is
the end or to assert that together
with all Unborn instincts the undyint
hope points to ultimate fulfilment?

RAILROAD INJUNCTION
Dissolved BY court
RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST
CONSTRUCTION WORK DIS
SOLVED ON HEARING.

The temporary restraining order
granted last week by Judge Brecl-
enridge against the Sand Springs
Railway company was dissolved yes
terday afternoon after a careful hear
ing. Judge Breckenridge very aptly
said that no property owner along
the proposed road could bring action
that would prevent the company from
constructing Its line under the terms
Of the franchise; deciding that only
the state or city could bring an ac.
ton declaring the franchise null and
void.
Mike Steiger and Dave Shelton
sought to have the franchise declared
forfeited, claiming the company had
not occupied Archer st. within tho
prescribed time. Under the ruling OF
judge Breckenridge these gentlemen
struction of the extension eastward
along Archer. u"
Under tho original franchise the
Sand Springs Railway company was
to have commenced construction
within ten days after the ratification
of the franchise and continue its op-
erations until Sand Springs was
reached, a distance of approximately
seven miles. All of the salient fea-
lures of the contract between the cit
izens of Tulsa and the railway COM
pany were compiled with. and from
present appearances the line will be
extended not only to the Eastern edge
of the city. but to Collinsville and
Nowata. This will insure to Tulsa
another trunk line railroad. the Mis-
aouri Pacific, at no distant date.

The standpat newspapers and the standpat politicians are making the statement that James Wicker sham advocated the calling of non partisan primaries to select men for the new territorial legislature. We have the authority of Mir. Wicker sham to absolutely deny that he ever advocated any such thing. MT. Wickersham did say that he hoped the people of Alaska would get to- gether and select the best men for the legislature, but he never has believed and never will believe that the people who have always oppos- ed home rule for Alaska can by any construction be classed as the best meu for the legislature. - It is simply absurd 10 believe that MT. Wickersham would ever ask for a uou-partisau primary which con templated the election os men who are opposed to the principles of self government.

Where, oh! where?

Railways interested in the North are believed to be sparring just now for vantage in future opera tions. The resources of Yukon Ter ritory and those along the Alaskan border are the chief object of traf- lie. Transportation people who have been touring the North and others in Dawson who are interest ed in the railway development are looking forward to the outcome of the railway agitation with no little interest, says the News.
 The Rosene road, which has been started from Haines toward Kluane and White river, is backed by Tor onto capital, and is seeking to tap the copper properties of this terri tory, and to make connections with a line to Fairbanks.
 The proposal has been made for an international line, to run from Haines to the head of the White over Canadian lands, thence down the Panama valley, in American ter ritory, and possibly on westward to- ward Nome. Such a road could he

made, it Is said, the trunk line of the North, as 1t would be in posi- tion to drop off spurs to every Yukon valley camp and every coast camp of the North.
 The Copper River & Northwestern road, owned by the Guggenheims, penetrates to within a few miles of this territory, at the head of the White, and it is said the road may be built to the White river copper fields in quest of tonnage. Some think the Guggenheims anxious to sell the line to the American gov ernment as a basis for the pro- posed American federal railway sys- tenn for Alaska. A commission is now visiting Alaskan coast towns to select the course for the line. Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska, while here recently, said he had no choice for the line.
 The White Pass has had an en- gineer in the field this summer, vis- iting the Nordenskiold and other copper fields, the Klondike district and various parts of the territory, and Financial Agent Close and President Dickeson have been explor ing the southern end of the terri tory. They were in Haines and vicinity recently. Some claim the White Pass would like to build from Haines and probably will do so, in order to control all traffic to Lynn canal by rail
 White rlver men now here gay the easiest and most natural grades from the White to tidewater will be via Haines. Jack Dalton is said to confirm this view.
 Just what the White Pass tn- tends to do in the railway construct ion game no one here knows. Some time ago President Dickeson talked of possible extension to the Yukon Crossing. Respecting the recent visit of Mir. Close to Haines nothing definite is announced. He has left Skagway for England.

In view of the recent uOn-partisan caucuses, 1t is amusing to read some oC the campaign speeches made by the Democrats during the delegate contest It was but few weeks ago that all the Democrats were organized into a political body striving to elect congressional delegate. They told in glowing oratory of the certainty of Wilson's election. and the beneficial results that would follow with the election Of a Democrat to represent Alaska. Not a word was said about a non partisan primary at that time. And rot a word would be said today about a uOn-partisan primary had the Democratic candidate been elect ed. Ak
 The Democrats in Skagway told the voters to stick by the DemO- cratic party. The Democrats in Jun eau and in Ketchikan and in the highways and byways all said stick by the democratic candidate because Wilson is to be elected and then the Democrats will be in the swim with a Democratic delegate handling the patronage.
 But the Democrats didn't win, and now there is a change in the whole political program. There is not Democrat left, they are all nou-partisans. Nothing more is heard about Wilson. He is forgot ten in the indiscriminate stampede for pie. The Democratic-Standpat association ground is going to be worked for all there is in it. If | cant get the senatorship, gimme tho legislature" said one of them. Gimme something" gimme any thing, only gimme it"
 Where are the Democrats?
 Where will Wilson find them when he comes to distribute the pie?
