Gov. Cats. in his letter published
in the Star Friday, says that he has
been aware of conditions at Marian
ma, that he tried to have Superintend-
ent Boone removed and was baked by
the opposition in his cabinet. A grave
charge against the cabinet and one
that does not help the governor. We
have been deceived in Cats. With all
his faults, we had supposed he was
a for"eful character. We know that
If he knew conditions at Marianna-
and he says he did-that he could
have gone to that school any day and
ordered food and medicine and decent
treatment for the boys; that no one
in his cabinet Or out would have dared
to oppose him. But this does not ex-
cuse the members of the cabinet from
the charge brought against them by
the governor. If they cannot clear
themselves they should resign.

This morning. we received a bunch
of copy" from the state marketing
bureau. 1t was string of para
graphs, giving advice to farmers, and
the supposition is that it was sent to
every paper in the state. And we
don't suppose any paper in the state,
unless it is one edited by some butt
head who can't do his own writing,
will print it. 1t is an internal shame
the way the peoples money is wasted
in this state. The officers of these
bureaux, commissions, etc., are en-
gagged in regular saturnalia of ex-
travagance. If the member of the
state marketing bureau who sent out
the stuff we allude to has nothing to
DO but write copy for the newspapers,
he ought to resign, and he has no
business to use public money for pa
per and postage to send his copy out
over the state.

"BALLED UP"

of the lines were transposed in put

was not discovered in time to correct

see evidence that the Star was right
when it said of several precincts in
this county that they were not anxious
to sacrifice the public good to their

thousand miles apart, penned their
articles at the same time.

1t was made plain that individual

accumulates upon the properties, in

1t was also made plain that the city
administration would make every
possible effort to keep the city in a
sanitary and healthful condition in
order to keep out disease and pesti-
lence and in this effort it should have
the assistance and support of every
law abiding person in the corporate

RIVERSIDE PARK
MAY CHANGE HANDS

Negotiations are under way that
may lead to the purchase and i'm
provement of Riverside park. This
property Lies alongside the electric
line and on the river bank where the
road crosses Spring river just east
of town. The property was purchased
last year by L. C. Hooker and Dick
Fancher and operated as park all
last summer.
Mr.. and Mrs. +. Z. Warren, ex-
pericnced resort people, are here now
from Stigler, Okla, looking over the
city and territory and they have the
purchase of the property under con-
Sideration.
Riverside spot is a delightful spot,
we'll shaded and with a good bathing
place. Now that the electric line
runs to it, no doubt if well conducted,
it would become a great attraction to
people all along the electric line from
Carthage to Picher.
