All this time he had been stopping
over and hls back began 70 ache, so
Nh Fox stood up and glanced around
the room and Il happened that he
was right in front Of the big polished
milk pan.
He held the lantern up beside his
head 10 throw the light about the
room. and turning around he looked
straight at his reflection in the shining
pan.
With a howl Of fright he dropped
his lantern and ran out Of the house
but his boots were not made Tor running,
that is, Mr.. Fox could not nm with them
on, and down the steps he rolled. He
picked himself up and on he went,
for he expected the creature he had seen
was after him.

Mr.. Fox was not wearing his mask

see everything that went on inside.
OF course he could not sec anything
until Mr.. Fox went in with his lantern
but then he plainly saw Mr. Fox.
Mr. Possum almost let 20 his hold
on the tree when he again saw the dread
full face and the red tongue, but he told
himself it was only Mr.. Fox and kept
his hold.
All around on Mr.. Coon's kitchen
wall were bright things; tin plate,

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
SOMETHING WRONG HERE

The Times.DemQcrat is not at all
pleased with the information that is
coming. little at a time, from the head
quarters Of the states educational sys-
tenn. These stories. while possibly not
attaining the proportions of scandal
yet have distinctly bad odor
II was just a little while ago that the
people Of the state found that the text
books used in the public schools of the
state are being used as an avertising
medium. Here is a privilege being
granted the book publishing companies
that is worth al least $50. 900. The state
does not get the money and the school

books a penny cheaptre than II that
advertising was not In the books. The
books We're contracted for WITHOUT
the advertising. The state is not get
ting the benefit of this graft and
neither are the school children.
Now comes undisputed information
that state certificates for school teach
ers have been delivered for a price, the
price SO far established having been
500 for each certificate. Furthermore
that il had been custom to issue these
certificates on the recommendation OF
certain persons without the proper ere.
dentials being in hand and without any
pretense OF an examination. In other
words il was possible to get state
teachers certificate simply on the rec
ommcndation OF somebody else that the
teacher was all right. How many Ger.
tificates have been issued at 500 per,
and who got the money is matter the
attorney general is now investigating
but the chances are he viii never find
out.
Again, there is now story coming
out OF the state capital that only a
short time ago there was a meeting in
Oklahoma City OF representatives Of
text book publishing companies and
at that meeting a slush fund OF $4,000
was raised TO throw into the present
campaign. What do the book compan.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

For'Attorney General-E. P. Hill.
That is one OF the safest choices
in the whole category Of candidates.
f. p. Hill will do to vote for, he
will do to rely on, he will do to
stand by.
The Ardmoreite has no hesitancy,
not only in recommending to its
readers T. P. Hill, but it urges
those who want clean, strong Serv-
ice in the attorney generals depart
ment TO cast their ballot for him.
+. p. Hill is a gentleman of the
old school and we mean by that
one of the kind who cherish honor,
integrity, virtue and straight for
wardness. F.. p. Hill is a states
man OF the first wtaer. His poll
teal history in Oklahoma is stain
less. His fights for the people in
the senate, are shining examples OF
courage and conviction and his
battles for measures OF vital con-
sequence are recorded in the an
nuals OF achievement in this state.
F.. P. Hill stands high in church
and state. He teaches one Of the
largest Sunday School classes in
this part of the country. In his
home town OF McAlester, he is a
real leader.
AS lawyer F. P. Hill has hand
led some OF the biggest cases that
have come before Oklahoma tribu-
nails. He has represented, many OF
the larger business and industrial
concerns OF the state.
Originally from GAINESVILLE, Texas,
he has host OF friends in and
around Ardmore who can bear wit
ness OF his sterling political fealty.
He was named in the list of can
didates on the Non-Partisan lea
que ticke this time, and he imme-
diately wired leaders of that organi-
zation that while he accepted and
appreciated the vote of all good
men, he was a Democrat and would
so run.
The fact that he was selected
an organization that claims to be
interested solely in union labor and
farmers is indicative OF his SYM
pathy for working people, while his
immediate affirmation of his Demo
cracy indicates his party loyalty.
And while the Farmer-Labor or
ganization has endorsed him, he
can count as his followers leading
business men in every section Of
the state. Many of the coal opera
tors are active in his behalf Oil
men recognize in him sane and
conscientious candidate. Business
leaders in Ardmore, Tulsa. Enid
Bartlesville, Muskogee and other
centers are strong for +. P. Hill.
Ii YOU do not know him person
alls, you have missed something. If
you do know him, you realize that
what the Ardmoreite has said, is
correct.
The voters will make no mistake
in naming him attorney general OF
Oklahoma. And from all the infor-
nation we can gather, that is ex-
actly what is going to happen.
