Governor Garland Wanted Laws
 Published.

Augustus H. Garland, Arkan- sas' most revered statesman, be- |lieved in newspaper publicity, and in his message to the legis- lature in 1875, while acting as governor of the state, he urged the passage of a bill requiring the acts of the legislature to be published in the newspapers, as
 now provided in Act No. 3, and said:
 Behold a world without news papers, A locomotive without Iengineer or steam. A ship with lout sails. A circus without l clowns. Neglect and eventually
 destroy the press, this old world will within single month be
 one vast, gigantic bedlam.

Say Canal Will Mean Hawaiian
 Land Boom.

Honolulu, Aug. 24.-Hawa- ian islanders are looking for ward to a tremendous boom in the territory following the op- ening of the Panama Canal From the standpoint of the great landowners and their bet ter paid dependents the predic- tion seems to be based on sound reasoning. In working classes circles, however, some dissent ing voices are raised.
 The Hawaiian natives, 1t IS agreed on all hands, except per haps in native circles, have nev- er made satisfactory laborers. The Japanese have done tolera- ply well and the Chinese still better, though they have annoy led the landowners by insisting generally on doing plantation work on shares rather than for defnitely-fxed wages.
 The Chinese exclusion law and l the agreement between the l United States and Japan have cut off labor supplies from these 1 two sources, however, with the result, during the past few years, that wages have been in creasing and there has not been enough of it at any price.
 l The shortage has been partly supplied by importations, under lrather thin evasions of the anti contract labor law, from south ern Europe and especially from Portugal. The expense of bring ing them has been heavy, how ever, and on their arrival they have generally insisted on cur. trent wages. The number brought in has been compara lively so small that they have usually carried their point ol approximated it.
 The common view is that thu opening of the canal vii cheapen the trip from Europe t the islands so much that ther' will be flood of immigration with corresponding advantage to the employers. On the Pacifi coast the unions have been talk ing steps to meet such an ex pected situation but here, owin, to the class of workers and tn completeness of the landlords domination, unionism has neve secured much foothold. Hawa ian agents already are in Flu rope, not contracting for work CTS, but pointing out to them tn advantageous conditions the. will find in the territory and thu small cost of the voyage as soor as the canal is open.

before the presidential election had
occurred and before any one knew the
tariff would be revised
The Cunningham Sheep & Land
Co., Of which company Senator J. \.
Burgess is manager, sold its fine wool
yesterday at Is cents per pound. That
price was four cents more than the
price paid for the same wool year
ago and one and a half cents more
than the price paid in May. 1912.
There could not be more striking
refutation of the old campaign chest
nut that to remove the tariff on wool
would bring ruin and poverty upon
the sheepmen. Last September the
tariff was absolutely removed and the
country now has free trade in wool.
Yet instead of ruin our sheepmen get
the highest prices they have had IN
years. The smith company gets five
and a fourth cents more for wool than
a year ago when the tariff was in
force and the Cunningham company
sold it's fine wool at four cents more
than the 1913 price. The wool buyers
have been more feverish to get wool
this spring than for many seasons
past. The sheep market is likewise
stronger than in several years. In
other words the sheepmen Of eastern
oregon are actually in clover when
they were led to believe they would be
facing the poor house.

DRAG THE ROADS.

Personally we don't pretend to
know anything about road building,
but Just looking at the matter from
an ordinary horse-sense point Of view
it occurs TO us that the free use of the
famous splitlog drag right after
some OF these fine rains would speed
lily paralyze a few million Of the bumps
on the highways in the immediate vi
cinity Of chckasha.
We gather from what we have read
that this instrument has been a most
effective road builder in other parts
OF the country and we see no reason
why II should not be used more exten.
siyely in this county. 1t is easily con
structed, costs very little and the op-
GRAFTON OF II is very simple.
The use of the split log for few
hours after every rain, combined with
reasonable amount Of previous work.
ing would do more toward improving
our roads than all the million or more
cubic feet of hot air expended over
the Chisholm trail and other paper
projects has accomplished.
Chickasha Is unquestlonably suffer
ing from the effects OF bad roads and
we ought to proceed in practical and
earnest fashion to remedy this condi-
ton. It has been suggested that day
be set apart for all of us to roll up our
sleeves and make thorough jon OF it
as many other communities have done.
IL is certainly an opportune time for
us to do something like that. The call
to arms should be issued with as little
delay as possible and every citizen
should be prepared to respond
In this connection somebody has Of
fered good suggestion in the way Of
needed legislation and il is well worth
considering. The law suggested is
thus:
That the county commissioners
shall make conf acts with persons res
ident along th, -oad for the regular
dragging of all roads which have been
graded to roadway not exceeding
twenty feet in width, sandy roads be-
ing properly clayed, the cost not ex-
ceedlng five dollars per mile per year
