ALBERT BEAN
WR|TESLETTER
To HIS HOME
HIS PLAY OF WORDS ON THE
"NESTER" SACRIFICES TRUTH
IN ORDER TO BE ENTERTAIN.
ING.

Albert Bean, a missionary from
Colyille, Wash, in the Headton fields
has written another letter home for
publication in The COlyille Examiner.
The letter was published in the issue
of that paper of Saturday. Feb. Is.
The Ardmoreite published one of
these letters once before, and the min.
ister wrote us, acknowledging that
he should have investigated rumors
before sending them out to the press.
He wrote the headlines of his own
letter and put it can Apology" and
The Ardmoreite published it without
the change of word
j. r. Lesh, who lives at Kettle
Falls, Wash, is a former Oklahoman,
and his wife is also from this state.
They resent such insinuations on the
citizenship of this state as Mr.. Bean
is making, and really the minister is
trying to get funny and entertaining
plays up the ignorance of this coun-
try in striking language. This por-
tion of Oklahoma has better school
buildings and as good teachers as any
state in the union. There are many
districts where there is not an illit-
crate person residing. That fact has
been determined by house-to-house
canvass by teachers who were ambi-
tious to conduct night schools. Mr.
Bean places the negro and the MeXi-
can ahead of the Texan in his letter.
and as most of the people here are
from the grand old Lone Star state
his language will not sound very good
TO them, and he is likely to lose his
power to be of real service as a mis-.
sionary in the field.
The Ardmoreite is not defending
the lawlessness of Writ. An oil field
is somewhat like a mining camp. The
field has attracted the gambler and
the bootlegger, but the court is grind
ing, and has sentenced nine out of
ten defendants who have been tried
since this court term began. But We
are justified in saying that Albert
Bean has drawn a wrong picture Of
the farmer in this country, whom he
terms a ''nester."
We give the full correspondence, as
it came to us:

SOUTHEASTERN TEACHERS
EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Hugo, Okla. March 4.-The South
eastern Teachers Educational asso-
citation is holding in this city three
days meet, with a very large attend
ance from twelve counties comprising
the association.
This association is for the purpose
of pushing the educational forces in
this part of the state to the very
highest point of efficiency, and be-
come a permanent fixture in the fu-
ture. Some of the leading state Of
ficials are in attendance. S. p. Free
ling, attorney general of the state,
is here, and made an address to the
association, featuring the great and
progressive value of this move in be-
half of the advance of education not
only in this part of the state but the
entire state as well, also r. II. Viii
son, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, was present and was very elab-

progressive move, stating that he

They settled forever the question
Of secession, that never was settled
except by the sword At this time
when this side is seeking to have a
just settlement of claims, nobody
should inject such a question into

these matters be tried on their mer-

SUPPLY OF FLOUR REDUCED
TO FAMILIES IN AUSTRIA

Vienna, March 4,-According to a
ministerial order, the amount of flour
allotted to each person in country
districts has been reduced from 400
to 800 grams weekly. The same order
provides that persons who do not
possess a home,-for instance bache-
lors who live in hotels or pensions
and who therefore have no need of
-four, are only entitled to bread and
not to flour. No family may draw
more than one kilogram (2.20l7
pounds) of -four plus bread per per-
son in the space of two weeks.

CITY CANNOT
LET TPR|SONERS
To THE COUNTY
DISTRICT JUDGE SAYS 1T is IN
VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION
PROHIBITING CONTRACTING OF
CONVICT LABOR.

Oklahoma City, March "A decis-
ion by District Judge George Clark
of this city knocks out the statute
under which the city prisoners of
Oklahoma City have been leased out
to the county authorities here for
work on the public roads. In the case
of the twenty young fellows released
some time ago by Judge Doyle of
the criminal court of appeals from
the county road work this defect in
the law was hinted at by the court,
but the release hinged upon another
point.
Judge Clark has held squarely,
however, that the law is in violation
Of the section of the constitution that
prohibits the contracting of convict
labor More than twenty city prison.
ers are employed on the county road
work in this county and this decision
will nullify their contracts and set
them free, if action be brought in
their behalf. 1t will also deprive the
city Of its profits from farming out
its prisoners to the county in the
future. There is no doubt but that
the decision Will be upheld, if it
shall be carried TO the supreme court
An effect of the decision is expect
ed 70 be to discourage the arresting
and conyicting of men for the profit
that comessof their employment.
