NOT A SEATTLE MOVE AT ALL.

The Pondexter Alaska fish amendment to the
tariff bill is not designed force the shipment of
Alaska halibut through Seattle ALL and, if it be-
comes the law, it probably will do SO. Alaska
fish may continue to go the Grand Trunk
railway, but 1T must be put in cold storage and
bonded at American port If it is to avoid the two
cents pound duty. 1t would bring the buyers from
Prince Rupert to American towns afording similar
competition among buyers prevails In fact it
would improve the situation because all buyers would
be brought into direct competition in the bidding
whereas now, when the fish is taken Prince Rupert
buyers in Alaska towns are really barred by the fact
that fishermen having their boats there are prac-
tically forced TO sell the buyers at that
place. The Pondexter amendment would bring the
buyers for Seattle and other points at the south
and those who purchase ship East Canadian
lines up against each other.

IL 1t Fits

There are plenty of people in the
world right now who are happy,
though married all the June
honeymoons are not over-yet.
When we see a silly old widower
trying to land little snipe of a
flapper to fill the place of the good
woman he's lost we begin to have
our doubts about wisdom coming
with age.
The wife who knows how to hold
her tongue doesn't have to worry
about holding her husband.
Whenever an old maid hears OF
another one getting married she
never fails to remark, We'll, if that
thing can get a man, there is hope
for me-"
learn that after he is married a man
is more interested in how she uses
the baking powder than he is in
how she uses the face powder.
Another way of getting one of
life's hardest bumps is just to take
too much for granted.
The woman who marries an old
stick probably will have him to lean
on during their declining years, but
all the woman who marries one of
the gay birds" will have is an
empty cage
1t must be agony for some of
these married woman to sit on a
jury and have to listen to testi-
mony when they are just crazy to
get up there and show the Prose-
cutting Attorney a few tricks in
cross-questioning a fool man.
After leaving triplets on his first
trip we imagine the Stork gets a
pretty frosty reception when he
calls next time.
The old-fasbjoned. man who used
to get his picture in the paper by
writing testimonials for patent
medicines now has a son who gets
his map on the front page by get
ting mixed up in a divorce scandal
Women do not wear tight corsets
any more, nor have tight husbands
under the dry regime, but they find
the old man just as tight as ever
when it comes to money matters. 80
Before he was married it looked
plenty big enough, but when a man
has a family trying to live on his
salary it is about the smallest thing
in the world
The reason so few girls care to
be classed among the high-brows is
because 999 men out of every 1000
men prefer the fappers.
Personally we'd rather see the
long trains come back on the rail-
roads than on the ladies.

THE NEGRO AND EDUCATION

NEGRO illitcracy in Oklahoma is l24 per cent,
while illitcracy is 23 per cent according to a re-
por, issued recently by commission OF negroes
that has completed survey OF education in the
state
The significant point OF the report is the fact
that the negroes found that Iliteracy in their race
bore direct relationship with crime There are AS
negroes in the pcnentiary out OF population OF
io40S in the state. The white race shows 900 in
mates from population OF lS2l,l94
summary OF the report indicates that 80 per
cent OF the white persons in Carter county are H.
lerae while 1873 per cent OF the blacks can neither
read nor write. In fourteen OF the largest counties
OF the state it found that ono white person out
OF every forty is wholly illiterate while five out Of
every forty negroe, can neither read nor write
There Is food ior thought in this report Tor both
negro and white man. The dawn OF reason Tor
hundreds in Oklahoma, in Carter county, is yet to
come. The problem is not new but its age alone
:ommcnds it to the serious consideration OF every
houghtul citizen.
