PUTS EDUCATION
ON HIGH PLANE.
SUPT. WILSON REFUSES TO EN-
GAGE IN MUDSLINGlNG WITH
HIS OPPONENT.

| State superintendent of instruction
r. II. Wilson has declined to accept an
| invitation to a series of joint dis
cussions with his opponent In his
| letter declining the proposition, Supt
| Wilson places the educational inter.
ests of the state on too high a plane
to be dragged into a mudslinging per.
sonal war of words that would hinder
| rather than help education Following
is the reply of Supt Wilson to the
Allen letter:
"Oklahoma City, June 80, 1914.
"Mr. c. NJ. Allen,
Marshall, Logan County, Okla.
my DEAR SIR:
II am in receipt of your letter of the
27th instant inviting me as a candidate
before the democratic primaries to
enter into a joint debate with you on
the issues which you say are involved
in this campaign. | do not believe
that such discussion would promote
the interest of the democratic party
or the cause of public education in
this state. On the contrary, it is my
conviction that Joint discussion, such
as you have outlined, would be greatly
detrimental and inject an element of
politics into the school affairs of the
state which it would require time and
effort to eliminate. Since / have been
state superintendent, | have done ev-
erything in my power to eliminate
both personal and party politics from
all of our educational institutions, and
do not believe that it is my duty at
this time to deviate from that course
by engaging in a political discussion
with you.
1t is not My purpose to degrade my
campaign for the nomination by per
sonal abuse of you, nor shall | mis-
represent any of the policies advocated
by you. | am running on my record
and on the merit of the policies which
| believe to be to the best interests
of the people of the state.
For the reasons stated, respect
fully decline your invitation to engage
in joint discussion with you.
Very respectfully yours,
"R. H. WILSON"

FOCUS Of bUBOK|C
PLAGUE INSPECTION
FlEAS IN WAREHOUSE THOUGHT
TO BE CAUSE OF MALADY AT
NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, La, July 2.-The rea
focus of bubonic plague infection was
revealed here today by w. w. Wilkin
son, now at an isolation camp here
undergoing treatment for the malady
1t is six blocks from the supposed
focus, and as a result of the reve,
lations health authorities began their
work of prevention in a new territory
Sending for DR.. Oscar Bowling, pres
ident of the state board of health
Wilson told that he had been bitten
by ileas while at the warehouse of thu
Volunteers of America on Giron street.
He was lodging when stricken, at the
Industrial Home of the order on st.
Joseph street. where Charles Lundeno
the Swedish sailor, died Sunday from
the plague The warehouse is used
for storing waste papers, Old clothes
and other articles gathered by the
Volunteers workers.
After hearing Wilkinsons state
ment, health officers proceeded to the
warehouse and established a quaran
tine for one block in every direction

cape OF the rodents into other parts
of the city. The building was rat.

street where a bonfire was soon blaz-
ing brightly. This was the principal
development here today in the bubon-
ic plague situation.

With the arrival tomorrow of Sur.

Piano Recital

The piano recital that was given last
evening by Miss Annie ID. Thompson
assisted by Mr.. A. j. Walters, tenor
was an event that had been anticipat
ed with great pleasure by Ardmore
music lovers, since Miss Thompson
return from Chicago where she spent
the winter studying, and as a mem.
Der of the faculty of Busch Temple
Conservatory.
The program consisted of numbers
from Chopin, Rubinstein,, Cyril Scott,
MacDowell Mendelssohn and List.
Miss Thompson possesses all the quail
ties most necessary for a successful
musical career, first of all she has
talent sown in good ground, the 9th
er qualities, conscientiousness, con-
centration, perseverance and self-con-
troll, belong to her. Few artists pos
sess all these qualities. She is still in
her teens, yet with these fundamental
qualities hers by nature, we cannot
but predict a most brilliant and flat
tering future. She plays now with the
finish, poise and appreciation of vir-
tuoso many times her senior. Her
technique is truly marvellous. Beneath
it we must see the support of a clear
calm habit of mind, which carries the
lightning-qIick thought in advance of
her fingers. Her Chopin was artistical-
ly rendered, marked by wonderful in
perfectly given. The Wedding March

MURRAY AND MILEAGE.
Present Allowance, He Says, is Part
OF Members Salary.

Washington, July S.-Alfalfa Bill
Murray of Oklahoma got lots of APP
plause when he made speech
against what he termed petty poll
tics being played by the house mem
bers over the questions of a congress
mans mileage allowance. For years
the allowance has been 20c a mile
in each direction of travel between
the members home and Washington.
Every session of congress there is an
effort to reduce the amount to as low.
sometimes, as sc a mile
Mr.. Murray said that the mileage
has been referred to as graft
and if it was such every congressman
for the last severty-one years had
been taking it.
THE mileage was allowed" said
the Oklahoma member, lin addition TO
fixed salary, in Neiw of the distance
men must travel in reaching Wash
ington, which could not be made up
III any other way. 1t has always
been regarded as part of the mem
ber's salary If it is graft, then, as
we call the roll, we find that all the
noble statesmen and patriots have
been guilty Of accepting il. In that
roll we can class such men as Web
ster, Clay and Calhoun. who in 1850
drew this mileage. We find in tha.
class Garfield Mckinley, and Lncola.
Why, | almost forgot that William
J. Bryan during the four years he
was in congress drew it,
L believe that when man comes
to congress he ought, if at all pos
sible, to bring his family, especially
when he has young children 20 edu-
cate, and | believe to make it equal,
mileage should be a fixed sum for
every member. The man who viii not
bring his family here when he can has
not a worthy regard for home or him
self, he ought not to represent the
American people on this floor The
man who would leave his family at
home while he is here adrift, his wife
does not know where and what places
he visits when night falls; but when
a man brings his family, his wife
can keep up with his curves. We
know she will know why he is out OF
nights.

made too low to support me and my

CATTLE VANISHING;
SMALL FARMER MUST
AID SITUATION

Henry J. Williamson, Government
Statistician in the Department of Ag-
riculture, declares that meat in
America will be a rarity before the
war ends, with its drain on our sup
ply" With the population increasing
and the number of cattle constantly
diminishing, a condition that has pre-
vailed for the last ten years, the pre-
diction of Mr.. Williamson is likely
to come true unless steps are taken
to provide remedy at once. Even
then the Washington expert is of
the opinion that it would be fully ten
years before full supply could be
raised
Increased prices for meat and leath
er goods have been forecast and may
prove tempting to farmers and stock
men, thus still further diminishing the
cattle supply, which experts estimate
at 35,000,000, including calves, year
lings and ull-grown stock. The usual
estimate on the number of cattle is in
the vicinity of 50,000,000 and the fig
ures of the expert will be received
with some surprise in consequence.
They are probably based on the last
census returns, the experts applying
the ratio of diminution that existed
from 1905 to 1910 and making liberal
allowances for the drain on account
of high prices.
That America will find herself in
the class of European countries that
have to import beef is certain if Mr..
| Williamson's estimate is correct. In
fact, meats have been imported from
/ both Australia and Argentina in the
last year, finding ready market on
1 both coasts The Chicago packers are
/ largely in control of the supply in Ar
gentina and one American firm at least
| has large packig plant in full op
Grafton in Australia. These packers
may help to conserve the home supply
if it serves their purpose.
/ General scientific breeding for in
crease is the remedy suggested by
! Mr.. Williamson, who ad-4s that the
wholesale slaughter of calves must
cease if the remedy is to prove effica-
cious. The situation appears to be
serious and it is up to the farmers to
apply the remedy to a large extent,
for the great ranges are slowly being
brought under the plow and there is
little chance of heavy increse from
that source. The farmer who sells
his calves these days is very short
