CHIT WHEELER DEAD.
Died at bis home In this City Tues-
day morning from heart failure Mr.
Chet Wheeler age years . Mr
Wheeler has been unwell all winter
and gradually failing. Two weeks
ago he was driven around in a buggy,
and it was thought that his condition
seemed to show improvement: but it
was only temporary.
Hon. 8. W. Hutchin was in Nor.
last Friday looking like one of the
honest yoemanry of the Country
He has discarded his swallow tailed
coat and pmg hat and dressed up in
working clothes and is out on his
farms on Little Rlevr since his
election a9 representative he has
served the people at $0.00 per day
for 120 days. If he should be a can-
didate for renomination or re-elect-
ion be will have to show up
what service he rendered for the
$720.U0 and mileage he drew for pay
Steve will perhaps be able to show
up about as *ell as any other of the
legislators who trained with the
majority and never joined the in-
surgent Camp; but with the record
made by the bunch ; it will take
some nerve for the individuals to
ask the people for re-electiun Mr
Hutcbins has not announc-d up to
present time but he may probabh
do so Unfortunately our frit-nd

BOOT LEGGING CASES.
It seems as though Coun ty attorn
ey Graham is having all kinds of
trouble with bootlegging cases in
this term of ths County Court.. The
verdict of the jury is acquittal or
jury hangs. Judge Sharp is sworn
off the bench in the boot legging
cases and some member of the bar
substituted as Judge to sit in the
boot legging cases. Such a law en-
ables the attorneys defending boot
leggersto gain an advantage in the
trial of their cases . We believe
such a law to be vicious and bad law
If for any cause the presiding Judge
is removed the law should be such as
to enable the Judge, who is respon
sible to the people, io have some
thing to say as to who takes his
place in the trial of cases In his
court, and the whole matter not left
to the members of the bar. The
members of the bar may be all inter-
ested in the defense of boot leggers
and for this reason, it might be
possible, while not defending a par-
ticular boot legger, could be presid-
ing as Judge, white hl9 fellow mem
ber of the bar was defending some
boot legger, and fellow member of
the bar presiding as Judge while he
was defending his client. We don't
say that the bar would do such a
thing: but the law should be Buch
tbat^they could not even if it would
No convictions but a big expense on
the tax payers seems to be about the
fruits of the trial of hoot legging
cases In this term of the County
Court. The boot leggers are smiling
at the success they are having in de-
feating convictions during thiste^m.
County Attorney Graham is likely to
be criticised by tax payers for the
expen-e incurred, w iethjr such
critism be just or unjust. Under ihd
law it looks to us as though County
Attorney might be up against a
tough proposition to secure convict-
ionf in boot ldgglng cases.

'The people of Oklahoma do not
know the real condition of Oklahoma
politics nor in any way realize the
corruptness of the goyernment under
which they live the only way that the
real condition can be made known is
by Btump speeches over the state.
The condition of things cannot be
made known through the news
papers because the people will not
believe what the republican papers
say about the democrats and the
democratic papers will not give it as
75 per cent of them are subsidized
by the pollticans in power.
I believe that when an official does
not want an Investigation right then
ia the time he needs it most. No in-
vestigation has been made of the
affairs of the Columbia Bann& Trust
company and the recent Haskell In-
vestigation was no investigation at
all. The committee was appointed
by Haskell and one of the Republicans
on that committee was the partner
of one of Haskell's grafters."
The above is an extract from a
speech delivered in O klahoma City
about ten days ago by Hon. L. P
Ross Democratic member of thr
legislature from Lawton and one of
the best known democratic politicans
in the state and who at the present
time is a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. He
fought the present State administ-
ration in the recent session of the
legislature ,ind was leader of the in-
surgent forces. The regulars succeed-
ed in defeating his attempt to clean
up things sime: but Rossis going to
appeal the case to the people
