Steuart Still Mad

Charles l. Stewart, the popc's
candidate for the United States
senate from Oklahoma, whose resi-
dence is at Enid and who thinks he
is running a newspaper, is mad as
a wet hen at THE MENACE.
Here Of late The MENACE is get
ting almost the entire front page Of
the Morning NcWS. free gratis for
nothin', and Stewart is getting it in
the neck from one end Of the state
TO the other.
His latest move is to try to make
the people believe that Senator 4.
p. Gore is paying THE MBNAoE to
oppose him (Stewart) in his cam
paign for the senate. As q matter
Of fact this Office has never even 90
much as received 4 letter from Gore
since it has been in business, and so
far as We know Gore has never seen
this paper or heard Of anything we
have said about either him or
Stewart.
Stewart attracted our attention
frst when he penned the following
letter to the Catholic AdpdHec, pub
Iished at Wichita, Kans., last sum-
mer:
WOULD SCOTCH A VIPER.
"I believe the time has come when in
telhgcnt citlzOns, regardless Of religious
faith, should take active measures 70
stamp out the sort OF intolerance that Is
being fomcuted throughout this country.
While am not a Catholic, have
throughout my newspaper career sntag
oniEed every effort TO stir up sectarian
strife. / opposed as knew how the A.
p. A. movement, and shall oppose with
all possible vigor in every possible way
the appeal that is now being made "a
ignorance and prejudice by an obscene
and vile publication in Aurora, No. !

insidious propaganda breeds danger u

There IL q real menace, and Il is In those
who cOmmercialize the baser passions and
prejudices of an ignorant and violent ele

observation OF conditions in this CON
munity that il Is becoming an insidiou,
influence, and 7 an convinced that ii,
time has come for every man who be
lieyes in tolerance and fair play 10 pu,
his heel upon the viper"
This shows where Stewart stands
and shows that he was campaigning
for the pope even before be becsm,
active in his campaign for the sen
ate, where he evidently thinks h'
will be in better position TO serv,
the pope than he is in Enid with I

c Commissioners OF Women's
College Visit Summer School

The Affiliated College Commits
sion present at business session
held in the college on Monday met
with. the students Of the Summer
School in the oratory in the after
noon. DR.. Mitchell presided at the
meeting and short talks were given
by Governor Miller and Mrs. A. d.
Warner.
DR.. Mitchell in introducing Gov
ernor Miller said that Delaware
College had appealed to him as a
unique vantage ground. First it is
the only college in the State; Sec
ond, it is equally supported by the
State and Federal governments;
and third, Loyalty supported by
the alumni Of the institution. 1t
has lacked only one point of con-
tact with the life of the State. The
college for women removes this de-
feet, doubling the strength of the
institution and halving its Difficult
ties
Governor Miller referred to the
recent legislation in regard to edu-
cation, declaring the last session
seemed more wide awake to the
educational needs of the State than
any within his knowledge. He urg
ed upon the teachers the import
ance to the State of the work in
which they were engaged; he i'm
pressed the fact that no matter how
isolated or seemingly unimportant
the little rural school may be, the
teacher is as necessary part OF
the educational equipment of the
State as the Governor, DR.. Mitchell
or DR.. Wagner themselves. Gov
ernor Miller called forth enthusias-
tic applause from the students
when he warmly praised the work
of State Commissioner OF Educa-
ton, DR.. Wagner, the new dean,
DR.. Robinson, and the new presi-
dent of Delaware College, DR..
Mitchell. He referred to the la
mentable position or Delaware
among the states in educational de-
velopment and urged every teacher
to determine to shove it to the front
rather than let it stay so near the
bottom. II firmly believe, - the
Governor declared, "that the ad-
vancement Of education in Della
ware has taken on movement,
which, with ramifcations and ad-
vantages will lead to illimitable re-
suits. "
Mrs. A. d. Warner, representing
the Delaware State Federation OF
Women s Clubs spoke on the pre-
sent day necessity of a college
training and urged every girl pre-
sent to help fill the dormitories OF
the new college.

ing a balance of $2,056. 70; that he is
