WILL JUSTICE BE oUTRAeeD?

The School Messenger is semi
monthly publication devoted to the
interests of the schools of Stephens
county. Its place of publication is at
duncan and nine issues have come
from the press. Its editor is l.. A.
Morton county superintendent of pu
lie instruction. The first issue OF
the month of May is out and two ar
ticles are devoted to the good roads
movement in connection with the
schools Sidney Suggs visited that
county and organized the mile of
road" movement, among the differ
ent schools of the county. The seed
planted at that time continues to
bear fruit. Prof. Morton caught the
spirit and he is still working TO
buSd up the road system of his coun-
ty. He has arranged for three rally
days-Iune 3, and ). One rally is
che and one at Duncan. Prof. Morton
urges every school to complete its
mile of educational road before the
end of the present session and is
seeking to put Stephens county ahead
of all others in the road movement
The issue also has a poem from
one of the pupils of the county en-
titled "a Mile of Road" Gilbert
Solomon, seventh grade pupil, is
the author OF the poem. 1t is full
OF life, and reflects the kind of en-
thusasm that builds roads and makes
country fit for homes.
The work being done in that coun-
ty is one of the results of the seeds
sown by Sidney Suggs. The agitation
he has kept up for years is bearing

The History Of Other Countries.

1t is not at all the history Of our
own country which is all-important,
overshadowing all the rest, not the his
tory of the times nearest to our own.
says Frederic Harrison. II his
tory be the continuous biography OF
the human race, it may well
be that the history of remoter times,
which have the least resemblance to
our own, may often be the more valu-
able to us, as correcting national pref
udices and the narrow ideas bred in
us by daily custom. The his
tory of other races, and OF different
customs, may be OF all things the best
TO correct our vanities, and
our conventional prejudices. We have
indeed to know the history OF our own
country, of the latter ages. But the
danger is. that we may know little
other history.

RIDES ON THE WIND.
lBy George II. WyatO

God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform; He plants his
footsteps on the sea and rides upon
the storm" SO reads an old, old
hymn-a hymn which was old when
our parents and grandparents were
young.
Yes, God moves in a mysterious
way. He moves in that same mys-
terious way today in which he moved
when the hymn from which the
above extract is taken,-in the same
way in which He moved when the
world was young and in the same
mysterious way in which He will
move when the grinding OF crum-
bling worlds shall herald the disso-
luton of all things terrestrial.
But, in all the mysteries wrought
by His movements will ever be found
the soothing touch which marks all
things emanating from Omnipotence.
In all the harshness which may be
a part of the mysterious movements
will be found the gentleness which
has. for aeons of earthly time, tenn
pered the wind TO the shorn lamb.
This was particularly eXemplified
in the storm of wind and rain which

At SHAWNEE
AT SHAWNEE SAY
A NATIONAL HIGHWAY WORTH
MORE THAN NEW RAILROAD TO
THE COUNTRY.

The interest that is being manifest
ed in the good roads movement at
Shawnee is demonstrated by the man
ner in which highway commissioner
Sidney Suggs was received in that
city recently. The newspapers devot-
ed great deal of space to the call
ing of the road meeting and delegates
were there from all the surrounding
towns. The feature of the meeting
was the address of Mr.. Suggs.
In making the call for the meeting
the Shawnee Daily Press said:
The Hon. Sidney Suggs, Commits
sioner of highways of Oklahoma, will
address the automobile club on the
subject of good roads. Mr.. Suggs
comes at the invitation of the Shaw
nee Automobile Club, and is an en-
thusiastic booster for good roads.
Every automobile owner and every
citizen interested in this movement,
which means the development of
Shawnee and the surrounding country
should lay aside any and all engage
ments and be on hand.
For Shawnee to be located on an
interstate highway will mean more to
its future development than the addi
ton of a new railroad and to secure
her position in this particular the
citizens of Shawnee and the surround
ing community must get busy and act
quickly.
What the Oklahoma Automobile
Guide says of Sidney Suggs:
State Commissioner of Highways
and father of the good roads move
ment in Oklahoma. Col. Suggs for
years has been fighting for the follow.
ing principles:
Economical expenditure of the road
and bridge fund consistent with per-
manent construction.
The elimination of the weak infer
ior bridges and culverts which have
given millions of dollars to foreign
concerns. who do not pay cent of
taxes to the state?
The construction of permanent
bridges and cuverts-concrete where
practical and possible-made by home
material, built by home labor and
along efficient lines.
Engineering supervision of the con-
struction of roads and bridges and the
upbuilding of the rural and farm dis
tricts'
All of these principles were en-
bodied in the bill passed by the 1915
legislature.

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION;
PEACE DAY MAY EIGHTEENTH

Oklahoma City. May 6.-Governor
Robert l.. Williams Tuesday issued
a proclamation. designating May IS
as peace day and urging all schools,
churches, societies and fraternal or
ganizations to observe this day by
such exercises as will stir the emo
tions Of love and good will in our
hearts toward all mankind"
Following is the proclamation:
For the past ten years it has
been the national custom to observe
May Is as Peace Day by suitable
and appropriate exercises.
with the clash of arms in the
great European war, and the spec
tacle of half the world drenched in
blood, this proclamation comes this
year with an extraordinary appeal.
Never in the history of the world has
such a terrific warfare existed or
have the blessings of peace been so
much desired by the nations of the
world as at the present time. Peace
on raeth, good will toward men has
come down ringing through the ages
as message from the Savior of
mankind. War destroys the work of
a lifetime in mere day Peace
is constructive of good uplifts man
kind, and is a nation builder. All
men. everywhere should prefer peace
to war, and earnestly emphasize that
the citizens of every land and the
members of every race, should live
together in mutual helpfulness and
peace. When the delirium of the
present European strife is over, the
peoples if the world will renew their
peaceful vocations and work in COM
mon once again. The spectacle of
suffering and devastation now going
on should fire every boy and girl
with a permanent revulsion against
war, We should have ingrained in
our minds the fact that war can be
eliminated by the will of the people,
and an abiding peace restored among
the nations
Therefore, l. r. l.. Williams, gov
ernor of the state of Oklahoma. do
set apart and designate Tuesday, May
is, 1915 as Peace Day, and respect
fully call upon all churches. schools,
societies and fraternal organizations,
and the people generally, to observe
this day by such exercises as will
stir the emotions OF love and good
will in our hearts toward mankind.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state, this 5th day
of May, A. ID. 1915.

the salt sea because other countries
are in the deathly grip OF the most
destructive warfare ever waged.
Should this country be maintained
in peace, should we be able to carry
out the precept of our leader and
think as calmly in emergencies as
we do at other times, the results
will be beyond our power to calcu-
late We will be given prestige as
nation of peace Our country will
attract the wealth of the world. Our
railroad and other securities will
have a more ready market. All fin
ancial ventures here will be looked
upon with favor. sturdy, peace-lov-
ing Europeans will seek out our
shores to build their homes. The
wealth and the population of the
country will be increased. A new
hope and a brighter love for human
ity will spring up within our bosoms.
Patriotism will abound to a greater
degree, and there will be more near
ly a cementing of affections of our
people.
With these benefcent results ahead
of us, if we maintain peace, does il
not have the appearance of treason
Ia nnli-
cies?
The republican politicians have at
tackled Woodrow Wilson upon tariff
reduction and upon the war tax, but
these two laws are indeed insignifi-
cant when compared with the bene-
ficent bestowals of the administra-
ton. In speaking of business and
government" the Milwaukee Journal
says: The Wilson administration
has succeeded in winning the conf
dence of business men to such an
extent that the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States has ap-
pointed committee to hold intimate
conference with the new trade board
and help to put the new business
laws into effect with as little fric-
ton as possible. The old idea of
big business was to sit back and lam
bast the government and everything
it did whether good or bad Captains
of industry opposed all laws and all
regulation until DRIVEN to the last
ditch and then accepted, in reluc-
tant, antagonistic mood, these new
laws. There was no attempt to give
government assistance in framing con-
structiye laws, though they gave
plenty of help in the way of laws that
put money into their pockets-tariff
laws, for instance How much
better the new policy is to have gov
ernmental agencies solving questions
OF legality and morality of trade
methods in advance"
1t is a negative and feeble pol
icy that attacks the Wilson admin
istration. We know we are getting
an affirmative and constructive
service at the hands of this admin
administration. We are being taught
wholesome lessons in humanity as
well as constructive lessons in bus
mess and the voice against Wilson
is almost, if not quite, like the voice
of treason against the country.
