A DIsouIETING TENDENCY.

It Is much pleasanter to ponder the good
things OF llfe--virtue and its certain reward;
blessings. which abound and are as free as the
air we breathe: frlepds--evcn the beauties Of
sacrifice nobly made. H'
But there are some things which we must
observe. and, observing, keenly regret and make
manful effort 70 amend Such Is this growing
tendency OF men and maids to indulge in what
In the vernacular is called railroad talk"
There was a time. and It was not so long ago,
when young men and young women associated
carefully and palnstaklnsiy. The conversation
between them was scrupulously free from sala-
cious and delicate matters Now It ia too gem
eral a practice for men and maids to discuss
the most, intimate matters and discourse upon
subjects OF great decacy, not only with the
utmost abandon but without embarrassment Of
any kind. The practice Is even more common
among married people.
The barriers OF modesty seem 20 have given
way The cause OF It? A matter OF mere specu,

forms lack OF parental supervision, and the

AS TO A REPUBLICAN SPLIT.

For some reason not at all difficult 10 dis
cover there Is in certain quarters n proneness
to construe the result of recent primary cleo
republican ranks.
Nothing could be further from tho truth II
Ia true that such Cleavage might follow any In
clination tho part OF the organization TO
withhold support from somo Of the unexpected
nominees but fortunately no such disposition
is apparent anywhere.
The recent primary successes have called TO
men who have won their spurs In other days
and on other battle fields. but whose repub-
licaniam Ia aA far above question as ls their
ability. II is bit more than pleasing that tho
success OF these men has been welcomed by tho
organization leaders, becanso they see In their
acquisition strength which was badly needed.
The republican party has always been pro-
gressve, when not under tho control Of n close
corporation OF self-seekers That II will not only
welcome the leadership OF such men as Plnchot
and Beverdse, but will find much added
strength by having them In its councils and on
It's ticket is beyond question.
Whatever may be said concerning the men
who have. at times, proven sad weight on
the republican party, they not lacking in

That is all there Is to tho so-called progressive

THE GARBAGE QUESTION AGAIN.

Having backed away from It's plan 10 charge
the householder 90 cents n month TO collect
garbage the city health department should not
feel Itself relieved of all responsibility for the
garbage problem.
This city. through the generosity of It's tax
payers. has been provided fleet Of trucks and
funds with which TO pay drivers, for the specific
purpose Of keeping the alleys and garbage cans
clean.
A. the moment thousands ot cans OF garbage
are running over, the fifth spreading over tho
ground ro<nd about attracting files and breed
ing foul odors II not disease. Cans stand for
weeks without tho slightest attention Nor does
complaint bring the required attention.
Surely this city deserves a health department
that functions 10 this extent. II the amount OF
money expended by this department does not
bring relief from such conditions ms we have
Just described and that housewives are COM
planning loudly about, then let us abandon the
health department altogether, relieve the tax
payers OF this cost and leave the individual
householder TO secure garbage removal in her
own way and by private contract.

ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS.

The Muskogee Times Democrat in a recent
editorial quotes some cynical person as saying
that contractors no longer bid plans but on
architects and engineers. the idea being that
all contractors are corrupt and that they dis
regard plans and endeavor to get architects and
engineers that will connive with them to rob
their employers whether private individual,
municipality or the state.
However much justification there may be for
such a view and recent occurrences do appar-
entity Justify IT, The World is exceedingly un-
wiling to believe that any greater proportion OF
contractors. engineers or architects are dishon-
est than il true Of any other vocation or pro-
fession.
It is scarcely a comfortable reflection the
executive ability of public boards and agencies
charged with the supervision of public work.
that so frequently the work is delegated to a
corrupt contractor and left under the direction
OF an INSCRIPTIONS architect or engineer.
Rarely ls a private individual done out OF
money by such methods; yet rarely, or at least
so It seems, is piece OF public construction
work. whether building road or municipal
achievement. executed honorably and honestly.
Beyond doubt there many engineers and
architects who entirely dependable. That
SO many OF the other kind manage to get In

Public Health Use.

bpeclhl TO lue Wotiu
PICHEE. May 2s.--The Oklahoma
mining field is to have a permanent
public health nurse. to enter upon
her duties the first of June, as the
result OF action taken by the tri-
state branch OF the American Zinc

Some time ago special nurse, in
the person of Miss Byers, was em-
ployed for one month, and made
survey OF the field. visiting many
homes and examining a large num-
ber of school children. Her report
was before the institute, the matter
was discussed at length. and by a
unanimous vote the sum OF $1,000
left over from general relief work
last year, was appropriated for that
purpose. The person for the. posi-
ton has not yet been named, hut
will probably be sent out by the
health department at Oklahoma
