CRUCE WON'T LEAVE OKLA
 H0MA AGAIN DURING TERM

Colorado Springs, Aug. 20-Gov- ernor Lee Cruce of Oklahoma. in a letter received today by the Cham Der of Commerce, declined an in- VitatiOn to attend the conference of governors next week. The letter continues:
 "The lieutenant governor seems determined to overthrow all of my policies and to make wholesale de- livery of criminals from the peui- tertiary.
 The Criminal Court of Appeals in this state has joined hands with the lieutenant governor in his raid on the penal institutions by holding that the moment I leave the state. even if my absence extends only five minutes, the lieutenant govern or can do as he pleasoS. Under these conditions if would be a crime for me to leave Oklahoma"

What Ward Rule Has Cost RosedaIc

The revelations made by the in- vestigation of James E. Caton, com missioner of finance of Kansas City Kas., as to the indebtedness of Rosedale ought to cause every city under the old ward rule 10 sit up and take notice of ifs financial af- fairs.
 Nobody knew anything about Rosedale's indebtedness. Even the city officials were amazed when told that it amounted to a half million dollars.
 It is the old story of loose busi- ness methods under the old ward system.
 When the auditor sent by Mr.. Caton to make the investigation asked the city officials about obi- gations entered into recently. he was told that the total would amount fo "about s50.000." The in- yesiigaton revealed lhe fact that the officials missed the guess hy nearly S35O0O, lhe total recent ob- Iigalions amounting to nearly S15.- GOO.
 Gue,7Work evidently has been the basis of keeping accounts in Rosedale. especially as far as the taxpayers are concerned. and that is true in almost every city under ward ruIe.-Kansas City Star.

Prevent Breeding of Flies.

The favorite breeding place of flies is the manure pile; the great majority of these pesky, dangerous insects come into life in our stable waste.
 Until recently there was no sim pie. efficient and inexpensive meth cd known whereby maggot life lthe early stage of fly lifel could be de- stroyed in manure without lnjurlng the fertilizing value of the manure.
 Paris green in Watery solution one pound in p gallons of water appears to be the solution of the problem. IL proves to be highly eff ficient as a maggot killer, it is easy of application. comparatively lneX- pensiVe. and in a negative way in creases rather than diminishes the fertilizing qualities of the manure.
 Take a common garden watering can. fill it with water, add a tea spoonful of Paris green and stir un- ll dissolved. Use daily on the ma mure and you will swat the fly in the most effective way.
 The weak solution is not danger ous to stock. they would have tC oa. large quantities of the bedding to be affected However, the ~olu- ton should be kept out of the reach of children.
 Remember the most effective way to swat the fly is to swat it before il is bOrn.-Farm and Ranch.

Where Men Ire Cheap.

The New York World. which ought to know what it is talking about says:
 There are Americans in Mexico as missionaries, as students and in NcsDgator~ and a., travellers for health. IL is not from these that we hear the demand for intervention
 "Ihc Americans who want war with Mexico are for the most part in Mexico only with their money. They have agents in Mexico and employees in Mexico, but personally they are absent.
 "When we hear of the fabulous value of MeXicos undeveloped re- sources We should not forget that it is not necessarily gold or silver or copper or cattle or wool that in- duces Americans to put their mil lions into the industry of that coun- try.
 Tt is men. It is men who will work for a pittance There is not in all Mexico a more richly unde- vcloped resource than its sturdy but ignorant and often misguided men.
 These Americans are in Mexico, therefore. primarily because labor there is cheap. They knew the risk they were taking when they made their investments. They knew that disorder prevailed and that life and uroT ntI V yK-prp uoI snpupa IQ11t bny took a chance because when too many revolutions were not m pro- gross they could hire men 10 work for a few cent, a day.
 "in this way we are to account for many of the big American ranches and big American mining enter prises in Mexico. When peace pre- walls, the important American capi- taIiSts who own these properties sometimes proceed in state to their feudal domains, but chiefly they are represented in peace and in war by superinteudents and OVerseers some of them natives.
 Before we talk seriously of war with Mexico we must be sure that Americans have been wronged iu that country because they arc Americans. A war in behalf o1 Americans who are attempting by proxy 10 add to their wealth by peonagc akin 10 slavery would mol be highly popular even among oul professional jingoes"

DAYTON PATTERNS
 AFTER GALVESTON
Following Floods, Dayton Has Adopted Decidedly New Form of City Government, as Did Gal
 VeStOn-A City Manager.

Dayton, O., Aug. 22.-The citizens of Dayton, on August l2, following the example of Galveston, Tex, aft CT it's catastrophe, and adopted a decidedly new form of government.
 This is the first city of any size to copy after the Texas municipal ity and choose a "cily manager in stead of multitude of elected of fcers. The charter provides for five commissioners, who will have purely legislative functions, the city's business being left entirely to a "city manager" appointed by them, and especially qualified for the position.
 In this type of government there is no diffusion of responsibility as seen in the straight commission plan. where each commissioner IS in active charge of a department. The people are also given the right of initiative, referfendum, protest and recall.
 Another feature of the Ohio city's plan of government is the short, non-partisan ballot and the elimi- nation of ward lines. This Is said to be the most advanced charter ever adopted by an American city. The new government will be Tn power January 1, 1914.

Some LOgic. This.
Mena, Ark, July l5, 1913

Mena, Ark, July l5, 1913. To the Editor:
 Dear Sir-While the dairy busi- ness would build up the country more than any other thing, is the country ready for it? Would a creamery pay?
 Could the farmers, as little as they know about forage crops and raising them, buy the necessary feed to keep a dairy COW in full flow of milk and not have the feed bill greater than the returns from the cream?
 Why not let those who can pro- duce cream at a profit ship indi- Vidually as pointed out in The Star some months ago? Then preach the doctrine of alfalfa, clover and silos, all of which you will find in countries where cream cries pay. Then in two or three years, when enough farmers are ready to keep a creamery busy, get plans and all necessary infOrma- ton from some reliable source and put up a creamery because it is needed and a good thing, and not just to oblige a stranger wanting job.
 Near me is a farm that has changed hands seven times in eight years and others nearly as often.
 They come, having been told that the land flows with milk and honey, but at the end of the year, having carefully scanned the feed bill necessary 10 make the milk and noted the empty beehive, the bees having starved because of an mop perfume rain that washed the honey out of the buckWheat, they journey to the nearest land dealer, list their land and start out 10 find the end of another rainbow. when, if they would take pains to start a patch of alfalfa and clover, and have cows and pigs tO market the forage, they would have not only the end, but the whole rainbow right on their own place.
 So few farmers know what is necessary to do to get a start of clover or alfalfa. They may know lots about a cotton stalk. but 1t is that that is getting away with the land. so that without a lot of costly fertilizer the crop on old land is not worth much.
 I think the demonstration agent should make it a point to talk up these crops and encourage every one to make a start and not be dis couraged if the first or second time is a failure.
 By all means let us have the creamery-not now, but when the farmers, on whom il will depend for existence, are ready for it. Other wise its pelt will adorn smoeone's barn door, the same as the rem nants of two canning factories and numerous fruit and truck growers associations are now doing.
 Yours respectfully,
 F. NJ. II.
