LOAN OF INDIAN TRUST FUNDS TO
FARMERS OF OKLAHOMA.

A matter of the very highest impor-
tance TO the taxpayer Of Oklahoma
and especially TO the farmers of the
State, who constitute the bulk. of the
population, is Congressman Dick T.
Morgan's proposition Incorporated in
his bill requiring that the Indian trust
fund, now in the Treasury of the Uni
ted States and belonging to Oklahoma
Indians, amounting to about $2O,000,-
600 shall be loaned to the farmers OF
Oklahoma on farm mortgages at B per
cent annual interest. In 1911 pro-
vision was enacted authorizing the
Secrc AIRY of the Interior to deposit
certain funds belonging to the Five
Civilized Tribes of Indians in the
banks Of Oklahoma, and under this
law something like 100000 have
been deposi ed in the Oklahoma banks.
Congressman Morgan came to the con-
clusion hat there was no better
security for these funds than the farms
of Oklahoma and being desirous OF do
ing everything possible To reduce the
rae of interest TO the farmers of his
District and State, Mr.. Morgan intro
duced his bill authorizing and direct
ing the funds To be so loaned. The
government would really save by the
transaction because it pays the In
dians about 4 per cent interest annu-
ally on these funds. The interest
charged from the farmers would thus
repay the Government and yet by re-
duction of interest the farmers of Ok
lahoma would save probably $75O,00O
annually All concedc that Congress-
man Morgan's proposition is practi-
cal one, safe to both the Indians and
the government, and in ten years
would save the farmers of Oklahoma
7,0O0,0 ,0OO.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DINNER.

County Superintendent Fellow was
most agreeably surprised on Saturday
evening OF last week when returning
to his home somewhat later than usual
on account OF having been engaged in
conducting the teachers examination,
he found a merry party OF friends as
sembled to help him dispose of most
bountiful birthday dinner, which had
been 80 successfully planned and exc
cuted by his good wife, that he had not
the slightest idea that ans thing so
pleasant was in store for him.
The guests on this occasion include ]
the members OF the Board of Educa-
ton OF the Beaver schools with their
wives and the faculty OF the high school
and graded school. Dinner was served
at six O'Clock following which toasts
and after-dinner speeches were given
by numoer OF the guests and most
gracefully responded to by Superin-
tendent Fellow in his &ell-known and
characteristic manner. Altogether the
occasion was most delightful and one
long TO be remembered by he in whose
honor it was given, as well as the
friends who were hidden to share the
pleasures OF the hour with him.

The HERALD last week in z living over
nearly all the space OF the entire edi-
tion to a discussion OF the political
situation, did so with the desire that
the voters might be informed as to the
facts concerning the conduct OF those
oili"ials who are asking for reelection
and whose past actions as servants OF
the public are being severely criticised
at this time. We tried to handle the
subject freely and fairly and to give
our readers such information as we
felt they should know and as is mat
ter Of public record We did not use
color to prey upon the feelings. of the
people neither did we make wilfun
nor false representations. We simply
stated the Truth OF conditions as they
exist and left the people to be the
judge Had our attack been purely
from a political stand-poi as some of
those who are being so severely land
we might add, JUSTLY criticised at
this time, would have the people be-
lieve, why was not other democratic
candidates assalled? II IL was all po-
litical buncomb other democratic can
dida,es in the field might have been
asssiled, for politics is no respector Of
persons and the defeat OF any OF the
other democratic candidates would
have been just as much political vic
tory as the defeat of these men. Sure
ly they don't imagine for minute
that IL is because OF their great lmpor-
tance and the wonderful influence they
WELD that they are being criticised.
Not on your tin-type 1t is because
they have failed in the trust the peo-
pie reposed in them and have shown
their utter inability to serve all the
people and serve them fairly and for
that reason a great many of those who
have taken the trouble to acquaint
themselves with the true state OF
affairs, have spid that they ara not
worthy nf reelection and are taking a
clean. honorable open aud above board
staud against such corruptness longer
existing in our county affairs.

HOW IT HAPPENED.

We understand that some of the
Frogtownites are wondering II the
HERALD can tell "how it happened"
that their basket ball teams beat our
high school teams both games last
Thursday. They say that the HERALD
always has a treason" and can pro-
duce the facts" which by the way. il

ment which they, no doubt did not in.

PLAYED THE GAME and won, but
in their success they were none the
more victors than were Beavers ex-
cellent teams, who also played the
game but lost and accepted their de-
feat like true lsdies and gentlemen.
Forgan schools have always played the
BOBBY act when II came to meeting
Beaver on the athletic field and have
ever put up the cry OF unfair treat
ment, until We think every body was
glad that they could carry of the vic-
tory 30 that they would, for once at
least, cease their whining. Only a
short time ago they asked Beaver
teams to come over and play them
during the race meet In their town and
our boys and girls were ready to go
when the Frogtown children lost their
stick OF striped candy aud got peevish
and called the game off-wouldn't play
with Beaver, 80 they wouldn't. We
give them credit for winning the games
Thursday fair and square, and they
played good game but. considering

SECRET CAUCUSINC GALORE.

Asa resul. of much secret caucusing
which has been going on among
Moses" Smith, Jones, Frysinger and
others the past week, the people may
expect great grand. stand act to be
sprung at the last hours OF the cam
paign. The little crossroads papers Of
the county, which have never made an
effort to give their readers the true
facts and figures but have gfasped at
the articles sent them from this known
source Of all unreliable information 80
far as real conditio were concerned :,
in the hope of getting a little patron
age in return, will doubtless be filled
up with lot Of slush which when SIX
ed down TO the real issue will contain
nothing tending ID enlighten the peo-
pie ms ID why those accused o. mis-
conduct in office have not made sat
isfactory explanation of their actions.
IL is a noticeable fact that not one
single effort has been made by either
Smith, Jones or Frysinger t. explain
their actions and give the people some
good reason why they have conducted
themselves in such a manner Ms t. war
rant the severe criticism which they are
receiving They have never made d
denial that they are not guilty of the
oifenses with which they are charged
They have only tried t. divert the
minds Of the people from the true con
d ton OF affairs. Those who are charg-
ing them with misconduct In office
have taken the records to prove and
back up what they charged but has
anyone ever heard single mothers
son ol them refer any ybody to the re-
cords t. prove that the charges are
false? Not on your life The evidence
as revealed by the public records is too
eonvicting and they can't get around
it. Amy thing that they may bring
out at the last moment when it is too
late to be thoroughly investigated may
we'll be set down as being false for il
it were true, why did they not give it
to the people sooner. This matter has
been before the people now for nearly
four weeks and not one word of expln-
nation have they offered publicly, ex-
planning their actions. Any thing that
they may say now must surely appeal
to the average person as being trumped
up and for the purpose of deceiving the
voters. For almost month they have
ignored the demands of the people for
an explanatian. What they may say
now should be carefully weighed be-
fore being accepted as being true.

Panama Canal and American Trade.

Lincoln Hutchinson in the Yale Re-
view: The situation, then, on the
eve Of the opening Of the Panama
canal, is somewhat as follows: The
markets of the Pacific ocean basin
are, as a result of developments going
on within the countries concerned,
rapidly increasing their demand for
industrial and structural materials,
especially the numerous products Of
iron and steel; and are decreasing
relatively, their demands for clothing
materials and foodstuffs. The United
States, under existing conditions of
competition, has on the whole, more
than held her own against her chief
European rivals in regard to the chief
class of goods which Is in increasing
demand. We are also purchasing in
creasing quantities Of the vegetable
and animal raw materials which are
assuming a more important place
among the products hat the Pacific
countries AVE to sell, and we have
just passed a tariff act which will
facilitate their purchase. The trade
routes, by which this has
been carried On, have been such that
for dealing with many of the most
pean trader has had considerably
greater facilities in delivering his
goods. than the American. The new
canal will also alter routes that in
those markets where the American
trader has already had a certain ad-
vantage in facilities, his position
viii be greatly strengthened, while in
several important ones where he has
had less favorable facilities, he will
now have a distinct advantage over
his competitors. If he will seize this
moment of opportunity, and heed the
repeated warnings: Of u consuls as
to the necessity for a systematic
study Of the markets and the require
ments of packing, invoicing, credits,
and numerous other technical details,
there is every a to expect, in the
next decade or two, an enormous ex-
pansion of our m with the en-
tire west coast of North and. South
America, with the. Pacific islands,
with Japan and all Of northern China
and possibly with New Zealand and
parts of Australia.
