The Yellvilie Echo tells of a
Marion county farmer, owning
Only $160 acres of land, who has
Spent $6,00,0 in the past ten
years in sending his four child
fen through hi^ty school and the
State university. The Echo chal
lenges county to point to
a man ^xo, has spent his money
more wisely.—Sharp County Re

inherit wealth, lies in education.
Of course, we have the excep
tions, men and women, who have
made their way without educa
tion, but how few and most of
these while not enjoying school
advantages, were possessed of
exceptional and unnatural ambi
tion and perseverence, did their
studying at home, or by reading
and travel and deserve all the
greater credit. Just as the hope
of our county lies in an educated
citizenship, so does the future of
the average boy and girl rest
with their opportunities for an
education. The father’s pride,
the mother’s love is just as
strong in the poor man’s home
as in the rich man’s mansion and
these parents owe it to their
boys and girls to equip them
through an education that they
may climb upward on the lad
der of success.
Over in Benton county, the
Democratic committee resolved
that joint speaking campaigns
upon the part of county candi
dates were undemocratic and
put the ban on what one critic
declares “were menageries.”
The purpose of the committee
was good. They wanted to elim
inate the personalties and poor
lot of humor as well as bitter
feeling engendered in these
stump affairs. But their meth
ad of correction is wrong. The
characteristics of a candidate
crop-out in these addresses to j
LI__A__I J.1_ '

sr an insight into a candidate
the latter often fails to note. To
rid a county and state of cheap
personal politics, demagogic ap
peals that are directed to the
voter’s prejudices and not his so
ber judgment and good citizen
ship, must be rebuked by the
people themselves.
The white people of Oklahoma
should not feel aggrieved about
the hegira of negroes. It does
not matter whether “King Sam”
is pocketing the $25 per capita'
or has actual arrangements
made to carry his dupes away,
be should be given a chomo, if
be will only guarantee that they
will not find the way back.—Ida
bel Democrat-Record.
That is a superficial view to
take of it. Undoubtedly there
are thousands of negroes who
;ould be taken away and never
be missed but that kind never
have $25 to pay for passage
money. The kind “King Sam”
is reported to be fleecing in Ok
lahoma are productive tillers of
the soil and it is a pity their in
telligence does not equal their
industry.

St. Louis, Dec. 26.—Receivers
of the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco railroad today were direct
ed by Circuit Judge Sanborn in
the United States District Court
to bring restitution suits against
present and former directors of
the railroad.
The court’s order is qualified
only by the proviso that suits
shall be brought if the special at
torneys appointed today believe
they can be successfully main
tained.
That the special attorneys will j
hp f».nnvinr»prJ fhaf cnnli onifa
would be successful is generally
agreed, as the attorneys ap
pointed—John D. Johnson and
Lewis Johnson— represented
William W. Niles of New York,
a Frisco stockholder, in his pe
tition for permission to bring
"estitution suits.
The suits are to be based on
the sale to the Frisco of feeder
ines that were represented by
syndicates of which certain
Frisco officials were members.

in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
