treatment by radio, and at last re-
ports the sick man was considerably
improved in health.
While the Sierra and Powhattan

COUN TY UNIT
SCH DOL BILL
is IN PE ER|L
BY CHARLES H. ADAMS
Staff CORRESPONDENT

Oklahoma City, March 6--Af-
ter an earnest appeal, urging the
senators not to treat the matter
lightly, but to carefully consider
the need OF a change in the ad-
ministration Of the rural schools
of Oklahoma, Senator John 5.
Vaughan, Kingston, succeeded in
saving his "county-unit school bill'
from indefinite postponement. The
measure was up for advancement
to engrossment and third reading
and in the midst of its considera-
ton Senator j. J, Smith, Miami,
moved to indefinitely postpone the
bill. Senator Clark offered a sub
stitute, to defer consideration to
the next senate day and this was
carried by a small margin.
"I think, perhaps, if more OF you
senators lived in the country dis
tricts you would appreciate the
necessity of such a change in the
administration OF the affairs OF the
rural school as is proposed in this
bill, said Senator Vaughan. you
would find that a very great pro-
portion of the boys and the girls
on the farm are going to the towns
and cities to secure the benefits OF
education that ought to be avail
able at home. These children are,
therefore, practically lost 10 ihc
farm You have good schools in
f. cities and even in the small
towns and You direct your inde-
pendent district schools in much
the same manner as is provided in
this bill
Senator Vaughan pointed ont
that Oklahoma and Arkansas are
the only states in the solid South
that do not have a form OF county
unit school administration, either
exactly like the provisions OF his
proposed law or including the
same principles
The rural schools OF Oklahoma
are standing still in comparison to
the other states he said. "Our
rural school system is a failure

sister states and | do urge. most

LONDON PRESS BELIEVES
PUBLIC OPINION BACK
OF WILSON ON LEAGUE

London, March g. - President
Wilson's speech at New York oc-
cupies a prominent place in the
news editorial columns of the papers
here. Some editors see in Ameri-
can domestic politics the key to the
senate episode. The Telegraph saws:
Mr.. Wilson'S opponents in the
senate have not as a matter of
fact, bound themselves to any course
OF action too firmly to adopt am
other il the president should make
good with American public opinion
in the end. All depends upon the
sense in which that opinion may
make itself manifest when the trea-
ty of peace and the League Of Ma
tions have been given final form.
Therefore, for the present, we must
leave this strange and uncertain
situation"
European democracies are watch
ing to see whether the impulse
which brought America to their
side for the purpose OF finishing the
war will keep her at their side for
the purpose OF rearing the fabric
OF war-free world" SAYS the
Chronicle. They are not watching
without anxiety, for they know that
American cooperation is indiSpen-
sable if the fabric is to stand"
The News says: "Mr. Wilson's
appeal for Americas cooperation in
the salvation OF the world is as ir-
resistible as his indictment of the
selfish particularism Of the oppo,
nents OF the league is unanswerablc.
Constitutionally, the opposi-
ton OF this solid block of republi-
cans in the senate looks formidable.
Actually, as President Wilson con-
fidently recognizes, the issue is
with the people, for no senate could
refuse to ratify treaties establish
ing a league of nations that COM
manded the manifest and expressed
approval of the people OF America.
What the senate seems to want
must appear to practical men the
natural order. OF procedure" says
the Post. peace is an urgent and
immediate question. The league is
a vague and still doubtful system
The world wants time to think out
these things and does not like be-
ing rushed into the plan by the en-.
thusiasm OF its idealists."

PASSES
THE BUCK BACK
TO THE SENATE
BY CHARLES H. ADAMS
Staff Correspondent

Oklahoma City, March 6,--As
has been forecast in the Ardmore-
itc, the house has passed the buck
on the fifty million dollar good
roads program back to the senate.
The lower body yesterday after
noon substituted the house con-
current resolution for the oint
senate resolution and this action
will probably be messagcd back
to the senate today. 1t is believed
that no other action is possible at
present except for the senate to ask
for a conference, Today is house
day and no one was quite certain,
yesterdy, whether it would be pos
sible to take action in the matter
until tomorrow as the matter to be
acted upon is a senate measure. II
this be true the request for a con-
ference will probably be made to-
morrow and it may not be accepted
by the house before Saturday. 1t
is possible that even the appoint
ment of conferee5 will not be made
this week and the entire matter 60
over to the first of next week. The
Saturday adjournment resolution
would have to be disposed Of in
the meantime.
When the conference stage is
reached and the representatives. OF
the two branches begin TO get
down to brass tacks' on the road
measure it is believed the senate
conferees will insist upon the sen
ate joint resolution as the basic
resolution OF the conference. To
what range the exchange will carry
itself and how much will be requir-
ed in the confabs OF the confcrces
is about the most difficult question
that has arisen in legislative cir
cles in many sessions. The senate
Joint resolution is regarded as be-
ing one more nearly what Senator
Robertson desires in the way Of
legislation through which to in
augurate and carry on his fifty mil
lion dollar highway Improvement
program. This, it is believed, will
strengthen the senate's position in
insisting upon using its draft as the
basis of the conference. 1t is stat
ed by some members of the upper
body that under the house reso-
luton no other method Of road
construction than the building Of
concrete roads can be carried on
and it is also insisted that concrete
will be too expensive in view of
the expected volume of traffic in
many parts Of the state The state
measure is not nearly so restrictive
in regard to materials to be used.
In any event, as the matter is
viewed at present, it is still likely
that there will be a long and tc-
dious conference and although
one guess is perhaps as good as
it is believed that the CON
ferees may draft a road measure
that will be satisfactory to both
branches of the legislature.

DIRECTED PLAY
AFFECTS BOOKS
Young People of AIedo Doing Less
Reading Than Ordinarily LII
brary Report Shows.

Book circulation of 756 for the
month of July at the A1edo public
library was the lowest reached for
several years, according to Mrs.
Flora B. Wright, librarian.
In her regular monthly report
to the board of directors, Mrs. Win
ger shows that of this total 45e
were loaned to adults and 800 to
children. The largest daily circu-
lation was So, the smallest Is,
while the average was a tribe over
80. Periodicals to the number of
So were issued. while IL pieces of
music were loaned to local music
lovers.
Fiction as usual, was given pref
erence by readers, both young and
old. Volumes principally patron
lied: General works, adults, 46s;
Is; philosophy, So and 3;
religion, 1913 and Is; sociology, S4S
and rs; philology, 8; science, "a
and So; useful arts, 155 and Sc;
fine arts, 8S and %; literature, 400
and 81; history, 281 and Sc; trav-
ell, 140 and 6S; biology, IA and IA;
and fiction, GA and 479.
Due to the playground work in
Aledo this summer, less reading is
done bySthe children at the IL
brary, at least during the day. In
terest in the supervised play is
held accountable for the decrease
in circulation for July, Mrs. Winger
stated. The librarians report
showed a total of 4,194 volumes on
the lirbary shelves, 3,214 books for
adults and $50 for children.
The new music feature which has
been added is proving a distinct
success, according to Mrs. Win
ger. Many music lovers are COM
ing forward in donation of pieces
Of music which they have liked, as
a loan for loaning purposes, to the
library. There are now II COM
positions available, with IL already
making a total of 20.

Predicted That Question of High
School viii Be Settled At
firmatiVely at Election.

Every qualified legal voter is urg-
ed to turn out for the special school
election to be held Saturday, Aug.
8. The polls will be at the north
side school and will be open from
2 until o'clock in the afternoon.
1t is the hope of school board Of
ficials that the proposals submitted,
which provide for the erection of a
new high school building and au-
thorization to issue bonds to the ex-
tent of $4,000 will be endorsed by
a heavy majority. Should this be
the case the board would feel en-
couraged to proceed with every
means available in the construc-
ton of a modern, up-to-date edifice,
the latest thing in school construc-
ton and beautiful addition to the
city.
Opposition, which was expected
to develop strong in some quarters,
has failed to materialize and Off
Gals are growing confident that the
majority Of the people of Aledo are
unreservedly in favor of a new high
school building. There will be two
questions on the ballot, one provid-
ing for the erection of the building
and the other authorizing the is
sue of $50, 900 in bonds.
Get to the polls, you voter, and
register favorably upon this most
important issue. That is the in
junction and request Of those who
view a new high school building
for this city as. indispensable.

WAIVE CLAIM TO
PETERSON Girl
Mr.. and Mrs. Nesbitt Largely Alb
solved of Cruelty Charges by
Evidence States Attorney.

A hearing was not had this morn
ing in the adjustment of the case of
IL year old Martha Peterson and
the W. H. Nesbitt family, south
east of Aledo. without the formal
ity, deemed unnecessary by AS
sistant States Attorney d. A. Hebel
the Nesbitt's waived their rights
as guardians of the child, and tenn
porarily at least. she will be kept
at the home of Sheriff John p.
Fleming.
From the evidence in the hands
of States Attorney o. E. Carlstrom
and his assistant, the story of abuse
and ill-usage narrated by the little
girl following her runaway, was
considerably exaggerated. So con-
vincing is this evidence that hear
ing before County Judge Friend l..
Church was deemed unnecessary,
especially as Mr.. and Mrs. Nesbitt
appeared willing to relinQuish all
claims upon the child conferred
upon them by Martha's mother,
Mrs. Lydia Peterson.
A hired hand and hired girl &C
companied the Nesbitts to Aledo
prepared, it is said, to testify as
to the good character OF the family
accused by the girl of excessive
and unwarranted abuse.
Mrs. Peterson, mother of the
child, arrived in this city last
night from Wyoming. The little
girl refused to meet her mother
and objected as the parent sought
to kiss her. You never wrote to
me-" was the childish complaint
as remembrance remained. The
father, John Peterson, arrived
here this noon. He sought to OBJ
tain possession of the child.
81 won't stay here" exclaimed
the little girl as Sheriff Fleming
informed her that for a few days,
at least, she would have to remain
at his home. Where do you want
to stay?" asked the sheriff. 81
don't know" Martha vaguely re-
piled. The mother could not as
sumo care of the child, she said,
because of certain preventative
onndifinnc
