SAMUEL w. HAYES, "a MAN
WITHOUT A BLEMiSH:"
lWritten for the Express.


(Written for the Express.)
Prompted by his lofty ambition to
do greater things for Oklahoma and
encouraged by hundreds Of friends Ia
every section OF the state, Samuel W
HAYES recently resigned as chief JUS
tice of the Oklahoma supreme court
and made his candidacy for United
States senator a reality last week, by
filing his candidacy with Secretary
Ben Riley OF the state election board.
Self confidence is a factor Ia the
success OF every mans ambitions,
whether 1t be in business or In poll
tics. and the man who. like Judge
HAYES. resigns what seemed perma-
nent position in this state, burns the
bridges behind him and steps out bold
n before the people, refusing TO take
the advantage that the influence OF one
office might bring in the seeking OF a
greater one, is deserving of the respect
and commendation OF the people, 70

WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING

The Trouble With the School Law.
Editor Daily Express
Perhaps it would be of interest to
the people of Chickasha to know why
the board of education hesitates about
transacting any impoktant business
before the supreme court decides the
question now pending before 1t. The
facts are as follows During the last
session of the legislature joint com
mittee of both houses, composed en-
tirely of school teachers, undertook to
codify' all the statutes relating to pub
lie education which resulted in the
passage Of one general statute cover
ing the entire subject. This was Z
work that, from any proper motive
was wholly unnecessary, besides the
inexperience of these men in matters
of that kind resulted in bungling
mess being made Of the whole subject.
Several phases Of the law have al
ready been before the supreme court
for Interpretation and many other
questions must go there before the law
will be as stable as 1t was prior to the
preparation of this piece of vandal-
ism.
The immediate question that con
Germs this board Is the number of It's
members. The new law reduces the
membership in cities under sixty thou.
sand to one half the former number,
but neelects to say whether the
change becomes effective on the first
Monday in May, 1915, and so the ques-
tion is put up to the supreme court to
guess at. Another defect in the law
that has annoyed this board relates to
the compulsory educational feature.
The compilers put in everything from
the old law except the part providing
| for the appointment OF truant officer,
| whic hoversight, of course, renders the
whole law a dead letter so far as cities
are concerned. Many such brus AZ
these occur in this remarkable pro
duct of our law mill"
But if these solons were not howl
ing success as lawyers, they proved
themselves expert "machinists." for
they succeeded admirably In convert
ing the school system Of the state
into superb political machine Space
will not permit me 10 discuss this
feature OF the law but in closing will

A Frenchman who meets you half

this eternal handshaking. In the little

shakes it vigorously. This makes a

Say The least.
And Judge Hayes walks forth into
the present senatorial campaign as
Daniel in lions den, in that he fears
no character assassin. Although he
has been in public life in Oklahoma
for seven years. beginning with the
constitutional convention and conclud-
ing with the highest office In the 1u-
dietary Of the state. Judge Hayes is
without blemish. No purer man has
asked the suffrage of the people in
this great state, and no one questions
his honesty, his integrity or his in
tents and purposes.
Judge Hayes is Of The type Of self
made man, of western ambition, who
commands the love and admiration OF
all with whom he comes in contact.
Born In poor circumstances, he
pioneered the wilds of west Texas
with his good parents, and secured his
early education in a poorly graded
country school, under adverse circum
stances. BY hard work and inces.
SAINT study, with the aid of midnight
OIL" he equipped himself to enter the
University of Virvinia at the age of
sixteen, with the financial aid Of an
uncle
His advance in public life and pub-
| lie affairs from the time he left the
university because OF financial embar-
rassment, reads like romance-f from
student to teacher, country lawyer,
city attorney, member OF the constitu-
| tional convention, and finally member
Of the supreme court of the state
the chief justice, il you please.
Judge Hayes bears the distinction
of having been the youngest supreme
court judge in the United States, hav.
| ing taken his seat on his thirty-second
birthday. He resigned as chief justice
after five years service at a younger
| age than any other member OF the
court assumed the office.
Judge Hayes was one of the real
fathers of the constitution of this
state and a principal factor in secur.
ing statehood. His record in the con
stitutional convention won him the
confidence of every member Of the
convention and disclosed his honesty
and ability to the voters of Oklahoma
who will soon have an opportunity &c
show their appreciation of his service
with their vote in the August primary
Hayes did not begin his work IN tht
convention with bluster and cheal
tricks His courtesy was unfailing ant
bis temper unruffled; his conduct was
unassailable: his ideas we're keen ant
courageously presented.
The same fairness and knowledge 0
the law made his record as juris
but an exemplification of his remars
able work in the constitutional conven
tion.
Judge HAYES is statesman, afighi
er, a gentleman. The breath of scar

GETTING THE BANK HABIT.
To the Temperance Society of the
M. E. Church we are indebted for the
following interesting figures:
The per capita average liquor con
sumption for the nation as a whole Is
about 23 gallons. For Kansas It Is
3.69 gallons. The total Kansas con
sumption of alcoholic beverages, est
mated on these three typical counties,
is 6,2S9, 601.S1 gallons per year, Had
the state used its due portion of q
gallons per capita. the total consump-
tion yearly would be 3S,S91.S27 gal
Ions
On this basis Of estimate Kansas
paid as her liquor bill $5,303. 666. "a
This allows 81 per gallon for whisky
and 30 cents per gallon for beer Had
the state paid its quota of the liquor
tratf1c's receipts. the bill would have
been $34, 500, 929 instead of $5,303,-
66604.
Kansas saved during the past
twelvemonth. and saves each year
$29, 206,269. A saving of SIS for every
