PREPARED FOR INSANE
No White Patients In JaiIs-Hospital
 Has Increased Facilities.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 For the first time for many years, it is said, there is not now white in- sane person in any county jail in Ark ansas. This condition has been brought about by the increased facilities for the care of the insane at the Arkan- sas Hospital for Nervous Diseases created since Dr. J. L. Greene was placed in charge of the institution less than year ago.
 The new building, which is to be used exclusively for the care of pa tients suffering from tuberculosis, will be ready for occupancy about July 15, and it is declared that at that time the hospital will be prepared to re- ceive every insane patient in State.
 Figures compiled by Secretary Hart of the state board of charities show that from September 1, 1911, to June Il, 1912, 449 new patients were receiv- ed at the hospital and that during the same period 237 were discharged, leav- ing a total of 1,207 in the institution.

OUTLINE IF THE TWO PLATFORMS Sketch of Important Features Given---Taft DenOunCes
 Recall.
WOULD WAIT ON BOARD
opposites Taken by Both Sides on Many Questions of Great
 Importance.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Chicago.-Both the Taft and Roose- welt drafts of a platform in the Re publican convention outlined below.
 The Roosevelt pronouncement is the result or labors of principally his for mer secretary of the interior, James A. Garfield, Clifford Pinchot and Will liam Allen White of Kansas.
 Necessarily the two documents GOV CT the same ground but there is wide divergence in the recommends tions.
 The tariff receives a prominent place in both and both endorse the principle of a tariff commission. The friends of Col. Roosevelt, however, go to some pains to make it appear that the present tariff board does not come up to the requirements.
 The Taftites declare for further re- vision, but would have it wait until the investigation of the tariff board. They condemn the present efforts of the Democratic house of representa- | tives to change tLis tariff, as unwise and unscientific. No decision has been reached as to whether there shall be an explicit declaration for a cut in tariff rates, but the indications are that there will be such declaration regarding articles found by the tariff board to be subject to unnecessarily high duties. Probably there will be no pronuoncement on reciprocity.
 There are dual declarations in favor of legislation to curb monopoly. The Taft people favor the retention of the Sherman antitrust law, but would build on it so as to define it's opera tions and at the same time give the general public the benefit of it's pro- tecting effect.
 The Roosevelt people treat the sub ject along somewhat different lines, especially emphasizing the necessity of regulating the operations of large corporations.
 The Roosevelt people press well to the front the subject of popular gov ernment, declaring in favor of all the instruments tending In that direction, whether they be primary elections, | the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, the ini- tiative the referendum and the recall A female suffrage plank is one of the new features of the Roosevelt de- claration.
 The initiative and referendum will not be touched upon by the Taft docu- ment, but the recall will be flatly de- nounced as calculated to undermine the stability of government. Especi- al declaration will be made for the protection of the judiciary and the maintenance of order and the enforce ment of the law
 The principle of central banking re- serve will be supported by the Taft resolutions, but the Aldrich bill will not be referred to by name. The Roosevelt declaration will mention the Aldrich plan, but to condemn it. Both pronounce for a strong navy.
 The improvement of the Mississippi river on a comprehensive scale will be advocated in the Roosevelt paper.

TO SELECT PRESIDENT
Not Known Whom Board Will Select
 to Fill Vacancy.

 Little Rock.-Possibilitles Of radl- cal changes i'll the management and the policies of the University of Afk- ansas are seen ill the selection of the new president to take the place o1 Judge John N. Tillman, who has just rendered his resignation. AS the most important step toward the 1naugura- tion of a movement intended to bring about complete reorganization, which has been considered by some of the members of the board of trustees, it is knowz, the selection of some widely known educator from outside the state to head the institution is believed to be 3 possibility.
 Certain members of the board, as we'll as many of the alumni of the university, have taken the position, it is said, that the time is now ripe to take long stride toward placing the institution on plane with the best universities in the country. They believe that the sentiment of the state is strongly in this direction and that any movement looking to this end will meet with support from tho people,
 Those who have taken this view of thing to be done to bring about the desired end is to place in charge of the university the strongest man that can be found in the country. They contend that the size of the salary which would have to be paid to such a man, should noe stand in the way, as the results that would be obtained would be worth the added cost to the institution.
 It is thought that the board of trus- tees will consider this proposal before deciding upon the man who will suc- ceed Judge Tillman. The names of a number of Arkansas educators have been mentioned in connection with cides to look for man at home in stead of going outside the state. Prof. John H. Reynolds, professor of his tory in the university, has been urged for the position by large number of the alumni. Several other members of the faculty have also been men toned, including Prof. J. C. Futrall and Prof. c. H. Brough. Dr. Henry S.. Hartzog, former president of the university and later president of Qua nt lrz of the possibilities. Dr. Hartzog is now connected with St. Louis pub fishing house. Dr. Hartzog was suc- ceeded as president ot the university by Judge Tillman.
 Prof John H. Hinemon, former state superintendent of public instruction, and later president of Henderson col lege, has also been mentioned in con- nect1on with the university presidency.

PLANS NEW
SCHOOL BOARD

Muskogee, Okla, July 30.-Appoint-
ment of three new members of the
state board of education to succeed
Scott Glenn, Robert Dunlop and Frank
Hays will be made within few days,
their successors having been virtually
agreed upon, according to advices re-
ceived here Tuesday Superintendent
Brandenberg of the Oklahoma City
schools may be reappointed a board
member. 1t is said on good authority
that one of the new members of the
board will be another Muskogee man,
w e. Rowsey, a board member, being
from Muskogee. A rumor is current
that Superintendent Wilson intends to
recognize the deposed board members,
on the assumption that their dismissal
by Governor Cruce was not legal. How
ever steps are being taken by the
governor and his advisers to counter
act any efforts which might result
from such recognition. W. e. Rowsey
a member of the minority" of the
board, returned Tuesday morning from
Oklahoma City, and said that contracts
for a million and half dollars worth
of books had been thrown out by the
action of the governor in declaring the
boards actions null and void, as these
contracts were said to be let after
nine o'clock Sixty-eight book firms
We're represented at Monday morn
ing's stormy session, and over $780,
600 in certified checks, held by the
board as evidence of good faith were
afterward returned to the depositors.
AS soon as the board has been re-
organized. possibly this week. steps
will be taken to readvertise for bids
for a fall or winter adoption of the
state text books.
Mr.. Rowsey has received a letter
from Governor Cruce, notifying him
to have no connection in any manner
with the deposed members, in any at
tempt on their part to again sit as
members of the board

visit. They are in Colorado Springs
at present.
Mr.. and Mrs. John v Stanley OF
Purcell are on a vacation trip in Colo
rado Springs.
xOklahoma visitors are interested in
plans now being completed for a great
transcontinental ballon race which viii
start from Colorado Springs during
the summer carnival, August 1928.
Young millionaire aeronauts from St.
Louis and Kansas City will pilot them.
The balloons will represent st. Louis
and Kansas City and the Panama Pa
cific exposition at San Francisco. The
pilots OF the st. Louis car will be
James Bond Lambert and Paul Nc
Cullough; of the Kansas City car,
John Watts and George M. Meyers; Of
the exposition car, Captain II. p.
Honeywell of ST. Louis. who has in
vited Buckskin Craley. war chief of
the Ute Indians, to accompany him.
The race is given under the aspiees
of the Aero Club of America, and
James w Bemis president Of the Aero
club OF st. Louis will be the official
starter. The pilots will try to break
the long distance record for the Lahm
cup, and the winner also will carry
away magnificent trophy cup offered
by the Antlers hotel of Colorado
Springs.
Much interest is being aroused as
no such race as this has ever been
started in this part of the country,
and aeronauts are anxious to know
what effects Pixies Peak and its alti-
tude will have on these big ballons.
The inland location of Colorado
Springs and the prevailing direction
of the wind offers opportunity for a
long flight overland, and because of
these facts a special effort will be
made to break the long distance rec
ords.
It is not improbable that the air cur.
rents will carry these balloons across
Oklahoma.
Many Oklahomans interested in re
ligious work are in attendance upon
the interdepominational religious sum
mer assembly at Cascade, a noun
tain resort near Colorado Springs
which is in session for 10 days. The
program of speakers includes many
of the most famous men in their sew
eral lines in the country.

SPECIAL SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
Session Of the Legislature May BE
Called to Abolish And Consolidate
County Offices.

Oklahoma City, July S0.-The possi-
bility of a special session of the legis-
lature became greater Monday than
at all when Governor Cruce admitted
having promised to consider the mat
ter, should ne receive the pledges of a
majority of the members, to act on no
bills except one to abolish and con-
solidate county Offices That measure
too, must be prepared in advance, and
pledged to be passed as drawn, the
governor declared, or he would never
consent to the session.
Representatives John P. Crawford of
Ada and U. T. Rexroat of Ardmore
took the proposition up with the gov
ernor some three weeks ago and pro-
posed a session for the sole purpose of
enacting one measure whose result
would be a very decided decrease in
local taxation, beginning with the COM
ing year
1t was the theory of the two mem.
bers and Governor Cruce, that only by
a special session of the legislature be-
fore 1918, could an act be passed that
would abolish or consolidate imme'
diately 1t was believed that should
the next legislature, meeting in Jan
uary. pass such an act, it would have
no effect on the county officials elect
ed in November for two years.

Delightful Moonlight Hayride.
From Wednesdays Daily.

1t was jolly crowd. indeed. that
met in South Park last evening to
wait for two large wagons which were
to be the conyeyances for a joy-ride
at T:15 if you should happened to have
been in the vicinity of South Park you
could have seen strange looking OBJ
jects coming toward one center. These
objects were young ladies and young
men carrying the necessary articles
for good time
When the wagons arrived every one
tried to get the best seat and as a
result there was much excitement
When all were safely seated the driv-
ers received a signal to depart. The
merry crowd rode on and on until
some were getting so hungry they
could resist the temptation no longer
They ordered the drivers to stop SO
that lunch might be spread in the
light of the tardy moon.
The lunches were proofs of the good
cooks of the next half century. If
you have never been on a moonlight
hayride and picnic, you have surely
missed many things to eat. The lunch,
which consisted of sandwiches, chick
en-, cakes. fruit, vegetables, relishes
and many other good things was
spread on the bed of one of the wa
gons.
One of the entertainments of the
evening was fierce hay fight in
which many was the piece Of hay that
lodged in some fair maiden's curly
locks or perhaps down her back, caus-
ing very disagreeable feeling.
The picnickers returned to their
homes about eleven o'clock. going
from South Park to the Elm creek
bridge and return to South Park.

The Bull Moose convention at Okla
homa City was not so largely attended
as the republican convention at Guth-
rie, but it was composed of men of
principle. The republican family row
is of no concern to the democratic
party, but we must admit that the
Roosevelt contingent OF Oklahoma GER
tainly have the courage of their con-
victions. When they repudiated Taft
at Guthrie they evidently meant just
what they said. The poor spineless
element that are today following Taft
in Oklahoma know that they are fol-
lowing the beneficiary of larceny and
know that when they vote for Taft
they are compounding a felony
The tax dodgers of Oklahoma City
declared at their organization that
their only purpose was the reduction
of taxes. They now demand that prop
erty values in Oklahoma City shall be
put on level with those of Jones City
and Harrah. They also demand that
the mortgage tax law and the inheri-
tance tax law shall be repealed. The
real purpose of the organization will
be revealed when the demand is made
for a two-million dollar appropriation
to build state house at Oklahoma
City.
