FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR.
RoBERTsoN's HOME COUNTY.

When Judge ]. B. A. Robertson
candidate for governor, sent out his
platform which the editors of the
state were permitted to use as
news matter if they saw fit" he
accompanied it by printed letter,
in which he accused G. A. Smith,
editor of the Chandler Tribune, with
disloyalty and other things, because
Smith, editor of his (Robertson's)
home paper, had taken sides with
Judge Williams in the governors
race. Mr.. Smith has issued this
week a statement of the matter,
headed Facts and Figures which
we print herewith:
I'VE have deplored the entrance
of Judge Robertson in the race for
governor on the ground that it ap-
peared to us impossible for him to
win and some of the supporters of
Judge Robertson have challenged
our Judgment and have asked us to
specify raasohs for arriving at that
anrumn n O. ~

A little booklet recently issued
by friends of Judge Bob Williams,
the next Governor of Oklahoma, con-
tains clippings from several score
newspapers large and small, cover
ing every section of Oklahoma, and
nine out of ten of these point out tho
Judge as the winning candidate for
Governor. There are just two clas-
ses of people that we are able to
find who are opposed to Bob Will
Jams. One class comprises jack leg
lawyers, who envy Bob his promin-
ence as a Jurist; the other class con-
sists of old timers in eastern Oklaho-
ma, who have seen Bob grow well
off financially, while they themsel-
yes did not have the faith in the
country or the foresight to make
money out of anything. If We are
gong to gamble on it, we would feel
safe in giving odds Of five to one
and picking Bob against the field.

and where it cannot vent itself normally it will
find way out through abnormal channels. It
is because facilities for healthful exercise is de-
MED them that many boys go to the bad and
wind up in the reformatory. If they cannot play
right they win play wrong.
Recreation facilities cost little in comparison
with other forms of public effort, but they bring
back the largest of returns. Who can tell what

enough Fairgrounds to keep her children off the

Fairgrounds

Never was a child born that wasn't born to
play. AS sparks fly upward, boys and girls must
romp and run. It's in their blood. The Creator
mixed the instinct with the stuff of which they're
made. 1t is useless to attempt to thwart that
impulse to endeavor, like the mad old king, to
sweep back the tides with broom.
But the majority of cities have grown
up with never thought for the child. Women
say these are n-nlade cities, but children have
a much greater right to say these are grown up
folks cities. AS Ii Hung Chang said of New
York they say of their home town, Il was left
ont when this place planned"
Play strengthens the lungs, stimulates the
flow of blood, toughens muscles, sharpens the
WITS and breeds self reliance. It is as impossible
for a playless child to remain normal as for a
voorhees, man to escape degeneracy. Without
play there be growth and the fresh start
which nature gives every generation is lost when
children cannot play. Because of this an emf
nent sociologist has declared 'the lack Of health

The Need Of New State Constitution

Of all the many reasons for a more up-to-oa1e
constitution to replace the obsolete instrument
made in 1851, none is more pressing than the
need of Indiana cities for home rule AS Things
now are, our Hoosier cities mere agents OF
the state, with few rights of their own State
laws fix the number of public officials, their du-
ties and their salaries. They set limit 70 the
tax rate and regulate the collection and expendl-
ture of all public moneys. The city council ana
the board of works are hemmed in on all sides
fby statutory restrictions.
This means for all practical purposes that
Richmond is largely governed by men who 90
not live here and who have no interests here.
A state law drawn up and introduced by some
representative from the farthest away district
may more vitally affect this town than its own
ordinances.
Robbed of the powers of self-government, cit
sies are not free to develop according to their
own local needs and peculiar character. Public
spirited men are discouraged from attempting
what they feel the town should have because
their efforts are so often blocked by rigid state
statutes.
Had it not been for such restrictions Rich
1nond would long ere this have had necessary pro-
lection of public health through more adequate
sdairy regulation. &c. also, could she have pre-
Evented the frightful butchery that has decmated
hher shade trees.
The ability of our Indiana cities to compete
with towns in Ohio and Illinois, and their devel-
opment for satisfying the needs of their own in
habitants, demand a constitution which confers
on them the right of home rule. If you are i'm
bued with civic patriotism, you will do a good
service to your city by boosting for a constitu.
tional convention every chance you get.

"Swatter Up!

One of the busiest little creatures in exist
ence is the house fly. When it isn't playing
hide-and-seek in garbage can or making ex-
raising families.
And such families!
The mother fly lays some one hundred and
twenty eggs at time about every two weeks. In
ten days these eggs have grown to maturity and
the progeny are going into the egg laying bust
ness for themselves. That is kept up until the
frost and late fall parasites make an end to the
fly population except the few hardy individuals
which crawl away into warm, dark places for
the winter.
Those are the flies to swat! And now is the
grandmother fly which crawled out OF your attic
yesterday lay batch of eggs in pile of
filth, she alone populate the whole city of
Richmond. If her children live after her and
breed according to the ratio, the combined
offspring of that rheumaticky pest you
didn't take the trouble to swat would total by
October first 27,2O1 1888 O32 900 900 900 900 900!
If they were pressed compactly, the mass would
measure 9OO,O 900 cubic miles.
If every one of our almost nine thousand sub
scribers were to swat fly they would fore
stall a possible progeny of-well, you can cacu-
late that for yourself 1--WE are too busy)-but the
total mass would be 800, 100000 cubic miles.
1t is better to sweep out those dopy, dreamy
possum playing, old winter flies now and Gre
mate them than to wait to trap them next month
Now is the time to prevent the fly.

Tolls Discrimination

The senate committee on interoceanic canals
is now grinding through the great mass of data
concerning the famous exemption of the
coast wise shippers from paying Panama Canal
tolls. Although the natural inclination of the
senate would be to favor the shipping trust, it's
members are finding that the preponderance of
evidence goes to show we have no right to exempt
any ship from paying its just share toward the
maintenance of the canal.
Enemies of the repeal have sought to place
such construction on the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty to wrest it into permitting the exemp
ton. But the correspondence out of which the
treaty grew Git has been placed before the SEN
ate) shows it was intended by both sides at the
time the treaty made that no tolls favoritism
should be shown this or any other country.
The exact reading of the Clayton Buwer
agreement, known the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, is that there shall be no discrimination
against any such nation or it's citizens or SUBJ
jects in respect to the conditions or charges of
traffic or otherwise.'
A ship leaving Halifax for San Francisco
would pay tolls; ship leaving Portland Maine,
for San Francisco would not pay tolls. This is a
plain discrimination against Canada.
ship sailing from Liverpool to San Francis
co would pay tolls; ship sailing from New
ork to San Francisco would be exempt. This is
plain discrimination against England.
A New York business man shipping to Hong
kong would pay tolls New York business man
shipping to San Francisco and there transferring
to Chinese vessel for Hongkong, would not pay
tolls This is discriminating against one class of
American citizens in favor of another class.
If the coastwise shipping is exempt, other
ships must pay higher toll because the total
amount is fixed proportionate to the expense of
maintaining the canal.
If all our railways were owned by the govern
ment, wouldn't dream of permitting shippers
in any given section of the country to use them
without charge That is just what the shipping
trust is asking the United States to do with the
lcana1.
Many opponents of the repeal argue This is
an American canal. Therefore all American
ships should be free to use it," Even if this con-
tention is granted for the sake of argument it
gives no weight to the tolls exemption clause be-
cause that clause permits only a small number
of American ships the free use of the canal. All
except those engaged in coastwise shipping
would be charged as all Others If the American
ownership of the canal means that American
ships are to have free use of it, why not let all
American ships have free use of it? Whv limit
that privilege only to the New England shipping
trust?
