Children's Ward at Hillman

Before passing away from the sub Ject of children's work, it Is impos- sitle to avoid the consideration of the r'aintenance of children's ward in the Iliilman hospital instead of main ta,ning the separate and expensive or ganization of the Holy Innocents hos pital. If the work is to continue as at present. we would recommend the con. sideration Of this course, as the large q 1sition tc the Hillman hospital made by the county permits the efficient Rdndling of children's ward for char ity patients and the pay patients could be accommodated either at St. Vim cents CT at the numerous private in- firnaries in the city. If, however, our suggestion as to concentrating and focusing children's work at the Holy Inpocents hospital should be adopted we think this would meet conditions equally we'll or better. as 1t would per- mt not only indoor treatment but also hygienic mission work, which would not fall so distintly within the pur- view of the Hillman hospital.
 'In connection with the work of the Fillman hospital. we have seen that very extensive work is done by the free dispensary of the University of Ala lama: the amount of medical and surgical attention given there and the investigation of cases for recommenda- ant as a relief and practically an af- filiated work although the hospital belongs to Jefferson cotnty and the

PULLMAN DIVIDENDS

On the one hundred and twenty NIL
lions of capital stock of the Pullman
Company, a dividend has been de-
clared amounting to almost Is per
cent. The profit is more than twenty
one millions. 1t is doubtful If there is
any other service on railway lines that
gives so little for the money as the
Pullman people give. The new steel
sleeping cars have it claimed for them
that the berths are one and a-half
inches longer, but still the man OF
ordinary height must bend himself
more or less in the berths. Inc sale
of berths is not the only revenue. The
Pullman cars are being patronized
more each year by the ordinary travel
er going from one station to another.
Each passenger besides paying rail-
way fare, contributes small sum for
the privilege of riding in the sleeping
car. Some regard the cars as being
safer from their location with refer
ence to the other cars, and others ride
in them to maintain their social po-'
sition and to keep up the dignity of
their profession.

BILLS WHICH PASS
ED THE HOUSE AND ARE PEND.
ING IN THE SENATE - BILLS
PENDING ON CALENDAR.

Washington, Dec. AFTER brief
recess the congressman who hold
over. together with the new mem
bers. met today at noon as the Sixty
Fourth congress. The first part of
the session will be occupied largely
by finishing up business held over
notably senate bills, "to amend the
national banking laws" and the bill
to provide for the establishment OF
federal reserve banks" By special
rule these bills were made by the
continuing order of business until
disposed Of.
The complexion Of the new house
shows a large republican gain, but
the democrats. however, have good
working majority, and expect to
finish the program of legislation set
down for the last session and which
could not be put through. Favorable
legislation for the cotton growers
will probably be given first consid-
Grafton. The house committee ap-
pointed at the last session will bring
in recommendation which 1t Is
hoped will enable congress to quickly
dispose of this question. Many ap-
pointments have been held over until
this session. Less interest centers in
the convening of this congress than
of any congress for years. This is
due to the fact that there will be no
radical changes of the program laid
down at the last session and no new
legislation Of great Importance is
expected to be taken up. The presi-
dent and congress are in good accord
and they will undoubtedly agree upon
nearly all matters of legislation and
policy.

TEACH THE CHILDREN
TERMS OF COUNTRY LIFE

Country children should be taught
in terms of country life" declares w.
r. Hodges in bulletin just issued
by the United States Bureau of Ed
ucation.
In order to discover some of the
definite things that have been done
in rural public schools toward infusing
into both parents and pupils the
stay on the farm" spirit, Mr.. Hodg-
es sent $500 letters TO superintend-
ents throughout the country who
have rural schools under their super
vision. From the replies many sug-
gestions of special value have been

The plan of city government
amounts to but little. It's the man
that counts. A good man, under any
form, will give a good administra-
ton. A bad man, under any good
form, cannot meet the demands of
the people for city government. Peo-
pie who look to a plan to weed out
loyalty to friends, and to put exec
utlve ability into craniums where 1t
would be a stranger, will always be
disappointed The old aldermanic
system with good men is a success,
the commission form with good men
is success; the Dayton plan with a
good man is a success, and all Of
them are miserable failures when the
people make failure in choosing the
right folks. Perfect government can
not be made from imperfect think
ing, and systems of all kinds are of
far less importance than manhood in
official life.

ENFORCEMENT
Of THE STATE
CAME LAWS
NEW GOVERNOR DOES NOT FA-
VOR MERGING WARDEN'S OF
FIcE WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 6.--In an
nouncing the appointment of George
Noble of Poteau to the office of state
game warden, Governor elect Will
liams said that the rumor that he
favors merging this office into the
department of agriculture is an err
ror. 1t is the announced desire of
Judge Williams to make the office
of game warden great and power
full factor in preserving the game
birds and animals of Oklahoma and
in establishing and maintaining pre-
serves for wild game in the waste
places Of the state. He is particu-
larly in favor of establishing game
preserves in the Kiamichi mountain
country of the Choctaw nation.
In the past the office of game war
den has collected a large sum OF
money from the sale of hunting IL
censes. This fund was designed for
the protection of game and enforce
ment of the game laws. The legis-
lature diverted about 100000 of this
fund to be used in construction of the
state capitol. 1t is understood that
this money may be repaid to the
game warden's fund in the state
treasury, but that is a problematical
matter. 1t is the intention of Judge
Williams, however, to use his in
fluence against any further diversion
of the funds thus accumulated in the
future and to see that they are ex-
pended as the law contemplates, with
some additions probable to the law
to make the conservation of fish and
game in Oklahoma more practicable
than in the past
The salary of the state game war
den is $500 per year and an ex-
pense account for travelling has been
allowed in the sum of $500 year.
| The office employs clerk at $1,5OO
and a stenographer at $1,000. The
| total Appropriation LOT the olHce last
year was 1880. So far this year
| license sales have brought in about
| $34, 900.
George Noble has been sheriff in
the east side of the state and per-
sonally apprehended many law
breakers of desperate character. He
has been identified with law enforce
ment for many years and is an en-
thusiastic lover of the out-of- doors.
Mr.. Noble was mentioned in connec-
ton with the office of warden of the
penitentiary at McAlester, but his Sc
lection for game warden seems TO
lend some credibility to the report
that Judge Williams intends to re-
tain the present incumbent, K. W.
Dick, who has been warden OF the
penitentiary since statehood, and
whose record is very good and whose
methods are exceedingly progressive
George Noble will succeed John b
Doolin of Alva as state game warden
