State Gone Into
Saloon Busi-
ness.
State Legislature Has Passed
Billups Saloon Bill and the
Governor Signed It
After n long nnd I'ard fight the
"Ilillups Saloon Bill" passed both
house of the legisbit lie on lust Fri-
day ami the Governor signed it at
12:3 J 1 M Tuesday and the bill hart
the emergency clause attpched to it
which puts the hill into effect at onee
Thin bill provide? for state dis(en-
saries in all towns of 2000 inhabitant
and in ceunties whore tlier(e ii no town
of 2000 inhabitant u dispensary will
be located at the county seat
This has beon done in spite of the
fact that the state went about 18000
for prohibition f till whnt more can
you expeu when you place such men
as i'. N. Haskell and ill Murray at
the head of things. Those men both
like liquor. Don't you remember tha
Bill Murray wrote to Mr. Haskell last
fall that he was going to arrive in
Guthrie a few days beforo the presi-
dent signed the statehood bill so that
he could get a farewell drink of that
Guthrie liquor with the Governor?
When such men as that are in charge
of things can you expoct anything
else?
The people will find out that the
"Toledo Ohio Daily Blade" did not
inns the mark wl en it asked the ques-
tion 'Can a leopr.rd change its spots?"
in an article upon G. N. Haskell run-
ning upon a temperance and anti-
corporation platform for gove not.
This lii'l provides another way for
an enormous graft at is bhown in
South Carolina which slato has just
done away with the dispensary plan
nnd an enormous graft has been
brought to light.
The men in charge of the dispen-
saries in South Carolina paid from 25
pe- cent to 100 per cent more for wet
goods than the salne articles were
qdoted at on thi s.ime date in cata-
logtiTtt. "Nmv y;. tch nit Klitv and you
will learn of that same thing or some-
thing similar happening here in a few
yenm
H wiJI Im well for til voters of this
part of the state to learn how our
representative- voted upon this ques-
tion. Tlio hill provides for ii vote upon it
by the people at the first election but
not until after the dispensaries have
been established.
This is democratic prohibition and is
"letting the peoplo rule."
-enator Long's Bill Pensioning
soldier' Widows Be-
comes a Law.
Tin senate hns passed the bill grant-
ing a pension to Soldiers' widows of
12 per mouth The bill however is
changed in several particulars from
the way it passed the house and a con-
ference will be necessary. It is not
expected there will be any disagree-
ment over the new provisions and
that the measure will go to the presi-
dent for his approval within a few
days The total cost or the bill will be
S 15.398112 a year. The provisions give
a pension of $12 a nionMi to the widow
of any oflicer or enlisted man who
served in any Indian war the Mexi-
can war or the Civil war for a period
of ninety days and was honorably dis-
charged. Any widow who is now on
the roll at a lower rate than (12 per
month will be given the Increase with-
out Hllng a new application. Tho bill
does not require that tho soldier shall
have died as a result of disabilities in-
curred in the service and no widow is
barr d because her income ii more
than $250 a year as required in the
present favr Any widow otherwise
elig bio married to the soldier before
the i as-sage ol this act will bo entitled
to its benefits.
No provision le made in the law for
the widows of thp'Spauish war soldiers
but tlicre is cansidemble desire to
have tt lie ben -fits extended to these
widows and there 1b a possibility that
this feature may be added in confer-
ence.'. M . f
Tlijongl(Ji)Junrean has-not yet pre-
pared blanks. for applioalioH under t''e
proposed law but they will be ready
soon after the president has affixed his
signature to it. They can be secured
by application to the commissioner of
pensions or any congressman. The
only widows who need to make appli-
cation are those not now pensioned or
who hiivo been barred by tho provi-
sions of tho preidnt laws. Meade

Guthrie Okie. March 3!). In a
special message submitted to-day to
the legislature Governor Haskell com-
mends the lawmakers for their pro-
gress and urges them to expedite other
business remaining on the calender.
He prefaces his recommendations for
laws by the statement that the work
of the assembly has elici'cd his sincere
appreciation. He scores the partisan

torious legislation enacted.
The message calls attention to the
