Editor Chieftain:
In your issue of last week we notice
that the Oklahoma School of Medi-
cine, at Oklahoma City, is sitting uD
nights to congratulate itself that it
has been recognized by the New York
Medical Regents as sure enough
medical school.
We, personally do not see any par
We sincerely believe that in every
thing Oklahoma physicians are as
good as any they grind out in New
York. If they are not, then we would
advise our Oklahoma medicos to throw
away their pill bags and go back to
raising corn and potatoes.
AS sample of the kind of doctors
they manufacture in New York state,

BOUND TO LOVE EACH OTHER
Probably Third Woman Was Right,
but the Other Two Muat Have
Felt Somewhat Uncomfortable.

There was a great crowd at the pic
ture exhibition, and empty seats were
at premium, when two pretty women
Bpied and made for a place at the
self-same moment. They reached the
prize together, both pretending ig-
nOrance of the other, and, Topping
themselves down, succeeded in squeez,
ing breathlessly and mlserably In.
There they sat then, each scowling
and staring at the rudeness OF her re-
spective neighbor, each wriggling and
squirming as much as possible in Or
der to crowd that neighbor still
further. Finally the situation became
acute, and one of the women spoke
with fine sarcasm: Il beg your par
don, but do you need the whole
seat?"
II beg yours" the answer came,
"but never talk to strangers"
Just then a third pretty woman
passed, stopped and addressed the
two at once: why, to think of find
ing you two here together And l
have always wanted to introduce you,
because just know you will just love
each other. Mabel, this is Maud, and
Maud, this is my dear old Mabel. You
are bound TO love each other, because
you are so exactly alike in disposi-
tion!"

in Oklahoma are administered by COM
.petent relatives or business men, the
professional guardians, under the pres
ent system, transacting the larger
'amount of business for the minor At
.torney Mott reports that in Muskogee
county, Oklahoma, since statehood.
5S4 guardianships have been in the
hands of professional guardians. These
estates aggregate in value $1,172, 900
In handling these estates court costs
amounted to $4,000 and guardian fees
$4,000, to total expenses of guardian
ship being more than $235,O00, or an
amount greater than 90 per cent of
all the funds handled. he says. OF IL
guardianships in the hands of com
petent guardians, the cost of admins
Itration in Muskogee county was only
4 per cent of the amount handled, he
charges, while forty-nine guardian
ships of the estates of white minors
aggregated S1SS,000 and the cost Of
administration was only IL per cent
of the amount handled.
In Wagner county, the administra-
tration of the estates handled by pro-
fessional guardians, he says, cost over
"a per cent of their total valuation
while the administration of estates
handled by competent guardians cost
only per cent Of their value.
In Other Counties.
In Mcintosh county the cost of ad-
ministration by professional guardians
amounted to is per cent of the total
amount handled. as against 2.3 per
cent in the case of estates handled by
competent guardians, he alleges. In
of estates are handled by professionals
who have control of 319 estates OF
minor Indians out of total of 3S6
estates.
Administration by professional guar
dians of minor Indian estates in Tulsa
county cost rs per cent of the amount
handled and by competent guardians
only per cent of the amount handled.
Corresponding alleged differences in
the cost of administration by the pro-
fessional guardians as against the ad-
ministration by competent business
men is shown in other counties.
Owing to the attack made upon the
states, Senators owen and Gore and
Representatives Ferris, Carter and
Davenport believe that Governor Cruce
should lose not a minute in ordering
the investigation. If the charges are
found to be true, all will insist on just
punishment of those involved; but if
the charges, as they have been regis
tered with government officials and
aired on the floor of the house, are not
true, then the members of the delega-
ton wish to be in position to defend
