RESTORE THE CENT?

The despised one-cent piece, which
has been coined in millions with no
particular service to perform EXCEPT
to buy the daily newspaper, has pros
pect of coming once more into it's own.
The nickle has been, for purposes of
general business computation, the
minimum coin denomination. Foreign
ers have long marveled at the prodi-
gality with which Americans ignored
the minor coin; any fraction of the
nickle was commonly eliminated, the
buyer amiably permitting himself to
be mulcted Of enough more to make
decimal calculation possible
But nowadays we will have to look
to the nickel's components When the
loaf Of bread gets so costly that it
can't longer be purveyed at a nickel,
the bread eating community will not
quite assent to raise it to a dime, Just
for the convenience of the bookkeep-
er and the cashier and the profit OF
the dealer. The street car fare may
one day have to go above the jitney;
but there will be riots if anybody as
Sllmes to make it a dime. TIE vast
list of articles and services that have
been standardized at the cent or 10
cent price is threatened with a reor-
ganizatiOn is general, the one cent
piece will come into it's own again
1t will have Washington Times.

IGNORANCE VS.. WISDOM.

To Us humanity's battle of the ages
represents the struggle for wisdom to
do right, live right and to prevent
wrong and disaster. Ignorance is the
curse of the world and has been since
it's inception. Fear is it's handmaiden
and Superstition and Intolerance stand
at it's either hand. Ignorance is bold
and scornful while Wisdom is humble
and Wistful for more learning. Ignor-
ance Stays the innOcents and brings
grown men to their graves before their
time. Ignorance errs and blames its
failures on Providence saying "Thy
will be done" Wisdom points out to
Ignorance wherein the disaster had its
being but Ignorance, desiring always
to put Wisdom in the wrong, finds 9th
Ell reasons, because Ignorance fears
ana hates Wisdom's might. SO Ignor-
ance cruciies Wisdom when it can.
The battle goes and will go on for
each generation is born in ignorance
and must take the slight heritage and
bring it to 6 fuller flower In the end
the Great Master OF Wisdom will sum
mon his children into their own. In
the end Ignorance must die for it can
not live; Wisdom will live because it
cannot die

ONE REPUBLICAN EDITORS VIEW,
Knoxville Iowa Journal.)

Knoxville Iowa JOurnal)
Hughes convinced the American peo-
pie that he was a trimmer. His cam
paign lacked the punch Of conviction
and plain speaking. He failed to win
the attention of the people because he
refused to grab the big issue of the
campaign and fight it out Like a
great many cold, self-contained men
Mr.. Hughes is not a good rough and
tumble fighter. He is too cautious and
too self-sufficient. The Journal has
never been great admirer Of Mr.
Hughes and is less so at this time than
ever before He managed his own cam
paign and bungled it. He made many
speeches, but said little. He did not
appeal to the imagination Of the voter
and failed to educate him upon the Wit
al issues Of the campaign Let us
hope that the republican party has
learned the lesson taught by Mark
Hanna and Theodore Roosevelt, that
it takes courage and leadership to
win political battles Mr.. Hughes
fought long but Intellectually. He
lacked the punch Of outstanding cour-
age and resourceful leadership and
he lost.

MYSTERY WOMAN:
A SPECIAL TRAIN
Wanted to Get to Guthrie
Quick; Went Through
Without a Stop.

81 want a special train to Guthrie

over the wire to the NJ Il. & y. Of
flee at IL o'clock Saturday night.
There is IA train which leaves
here at 1:15 o'clock in the morning
for Guthrie and that is as soon as we
could get special under way" was
the reply.

was the query
mo, it has several stops to make
and it is twenty five minutes late"
was the answer.
Then ] want special train i'm
mediately," was the statement that
closed the conversation.
AS a consequence of this, Miss
Leila Mcneil, 401 East First street,
left Tulsa at 1897 o'clock Sunday
morning, in special Katy train and
sped to her destination without a
stop.
She would give no reason for her
extreme haste and refused to discuss
the matter at all. The train was as
sembled as quickly as possible and
given right of way for the trip.
1t Is understood that Miss Mcneil
received telegram from friend in
Guthrie telling her to come there at
once. Without regard for expense.
Miss Mcneil took the quickest way
possible, calling upon special train
because the regular train would
leave three minutes later.

OKLAHOMA CITY. okla. April "a.
Secretary of State j. l.. Lyon this
Getfrnoon accepted the negative argu-
ment prepared by the Socialists on the
literary test constitutional amend
ment passed by the special session of
the legislature. despite the statement
from c. r. Barrett that he would pro-
test against the filing of the negative
argument.
Secretary Lyon said it would be
his policy where an affirmative argu-
ment had been filed for an initiated
measure to be voted upon by the peo-
pie, that he would also accept the
argument on the other side, so that
the people may receive the benefit of
both sides. The protest of Barrett
was founded on the fact that the leg
islature did not provide for a member
of the Socialist party as one of the
committee TO prepare arguments on
initiated measures.

AT THE THEATERS
GRAND.

The announcement made few DAYS
ago that The Eternal Magdalene"
would be presented by Selwyn and
company at the Grand Theatre for
one performance on Tuesday, April
20, has aroused more interest than
any similar announcement in some
time The widespread discussion
aroused by the play during its re-
marEable run in New York has Gre
ated an interest in the piece much
greater than Is lly shown in New
ork successes outside that city.
For one thing "The Eternal Mag
calene' is play which appeals to
the people Of this city quite as much
as 1t does to those of New York. of
Chicago. of Philadelphia; yes, even of
London. Paris. or Berlin. Its Problem
is as old as history, and. at one time
or another the people Of every COM
munity In the world has been called
Upon to face It.
That, through the centuries learned
men have struggled to find solution
end all without success. makes 1t only
natural that any new treatise on the
subject whether 1t be presented on
the stage, in novel or by spoken
word, should be eagerly received and
discussed.
In "The Eternal Magdalene" Rob-
crt Mclaughlin the author. has rot
sought to offer a new solution to the
old problem of the social evil. but he
has attempted to bring forth with
startling clearness the Importance of
a truth uttered two thousand years
ago. and. In his opinion. as applicable
to the problem today as when it was
first spoken.
The play is written in simple,
straightforward fashion. II neither
breaches nor attempts to spread prop
aganda. a bit Of history and a series
Of facts are related. but for its ap-
zeal it depends entirely upon the
dramatic quality of its story
