sparing the Rod.

A l4-year-old boy is hailed into court
for pulling the trolleys from street cars.
II develops that for some time he has
been stubborn and unmanageable, and
that his parents are powerless to control
him. In conversation with the Judge,
the father suggests that what the boy
needs most il a good thrashing. The
Judge concurs. Without delay an odd
fashioned lickin'" is administered. The
Judge, who could send the boy to an in
stitution instead, places him on proba-
ton.
Immediately hullabaloo arises. Va
rious humane persons are shocked at the
violence committed with the sanction OF
the law-within the very courthouse.
Women's clubs protest. The entire
neighborhood shudders. There is talk
of appealing to the governor.
This is all in accordance with latter
day teaching. We learn that if the boy
is bad, he is not to blame. 1t is a
heritage perhaps of two or three gen
eratiors. Or his environment was had.
Or che never had chance" Or his par
ents allowed him to 'play around the
streets" and to fall into evil ways. Or
he strayed into bad movies" In any
case, the boy should never be punished.
Send the parents to Jail perhaps, but
never the child. And if an old-fashioned
and reactionary judge dares to see other
wise, recall him.
The rapidly growing hoodlum evil in
our cities, frequently alluded to in these
columns, may be laid in no small part
to the door of the "moral suasionists,"
who believe that everything that speaks
of the assertion of authority is relic of
the middle ages.
But some of us retain sneaking graf
itude to judges like William Fowler and
to the occasional parents who still keep
their vision of bringing up children un-
obscured by all the sentimentality that
is afoat in the world.-Boston Herald.

Almost every day you can hear
some poor old farmer complaining

mission Self-Sustaining. Very Few
Appeals by Individuals.


In his campaign for the Democrat
ic nomination for Governor, Judge
r. l.. Williams has advocated plan
for making the Corporation Commits
sion OF Oklahoma self-supporting.
His idea is that a fee ought to be
charged against parties taking ap-
peal from the rulings of the COM
mission to the Supreme Court. In
recent address Judge Williams is
quoted in published report as hav-
ing said; a
'Iwould not charge anybody any
thing for a hearing before the COM
mission, but would establish a
charge for appeals. Do you know
that there have been 1900 appeals
from orders OF the commission and
that only two OF these have been ef-
fected by individuals7 The others
have been by railroads. telephone
companies, gas concerns and other
public utilities. In some OF these ap-
peals the cost to the State has been
as much as $780,"
An abstract prepared in the office
Of the Corporation Commission shows
that the first order of the commits
sion to be appealed from was No. g..
which appeal was taken January 80.
1909. The abstract shows 165 cases
appealed including that one, up to
May 16, 1911. The abstract is not
completed since that time. CT these
cases the state was a party against
corporations in all but thirty-nine,

Land to BE Offered for Sale This
Fall.

Another great sale of Indian land
will begin at McAlester, November
8, and close at Hugo. November o.,
when the government offers for sale
at public auction all OF the 960, 900
acres Of Choctaw timber land. Reg
ulations for the sale have been ap-
proved by the commission OF Indian
affairs, the advertisements Of rules
of sale will be published in several
newspapers beginning about July 10,
and the sale will begin and end on
the dates and places mentioned.
There remain about $4,000 acres un-
allotted land other than timber land
in the Choctaw nation, on which rec
concentrations have been made to
sell at the same time, though orders
have not been issued to do so. This
is land that was unsold at previous
sales.
When the timber land was offered
last year, "a per cent was sold. II
is expected that nearly all of the re-
manning land will be sold at the
coming sale because the appraise-
ment has been reduced nearly fifty
per cent and the acres each whereas
last year the smallest division was

sale brought an average of $4.78 per
