"especially for his thoughtfuincss. In

visions whatever woro made for tho
doaf dumb blind and insane. Marum

Tho Kourth legislature having ful
filled Its functions and departed leuv
ing behind only a memory and a mon-
ument in tho laws they havo inscribed
upon thoHtatuto books of tho territory
a short review ct tho work and of some
of the leaders who have boon the
makors of this history. Is not inappro-
priate. Among tho leaning law-'uakci.. was
Col. J W. Johnston tho silver-tongued
advocate of Preo Silver from tho Sixth
district who won without opposition
at mice made chairman of the council.
Col. Johnston Is too well known In
Oklahoma to make a reference to him
ncccBsary for information and ho has
boon a conspicuous tlguro in the coun-
cil notwithstanding his failure to se-
cure the passage of his pet mcisuro for
restricting and regulating tho railroads
of tho territory.
Tho first in order porhaps is tho
stalwart councilman John Lynch ot
the First district. As leader of the
opposition to the organization of the
council he at the outset mado his force
and inilucnco distinctly felt and the
Impress of character is clearly stumped
upon tho legislation of the Fourth
general assembly.
Council nan Dollols of the Ninth
district as chairman ot tho judiciary
committee has identified himself with
tho best laws "enacted at this session
and ills nam; will bo remembered moat
favorably in connection with his bill
to reform tho management of county
finances by county commissioners
Henry S. Johnston ot tho Second is
a young man but a rlpu lawyer and a
ready and ablo dobator. Ho was chair-
man of tho committee on private cor-
porations and un able champion of the
Interest? of his district.
Councilman D. T. Marum is another
son ot Oklahoma of whom she has just
roason to bo proud Forooful and elo-
quent In debate and honest and fear
less in the discharge of his duty the
pooplo will hear moro of him In tho
future
Tho chairman of tho committee on
agriculture and highways was a fit
representative of tho bono and sinew
of the land and tho councilman from
tho Third district 11. H. Hanner ably
sustained tiio hopes and expectations
of his friends and supporters. Cloar
headed and strong ho was an able do
fender of the farming interests ot tho
territory.
One of the strongest nltorncys on
the floorof tho council uhambor was A
W Fisher of tho Fifth district. As
ehalriLuu of several committees ills
hundi were full and his time fully oc-
cupied. C. W. Gould of tlio Seventh Is a con-
necting link between tho bar and agri-
culture; being farmer and lawyer too.
As chairman of tho ways and moaiiB
committee the mokt Important Inter-
ests came into his caro and wore ably
handled.
Mr. Garrison of ths Klovuntli was a
leador in dobato anil choion as chair
man pro torn of the council Many of
the best laws of the present session
were ot his initiation and ho was ably
seconded by I). II. Loarned and K. J.
Clark who were ono with him in their
dovotlon to the cause of the people and
particularly of tho farming olan with
which they aro so thorounbly Identi-
fied. One of the most forcible and olcquenl
speakers on the tloor of the oounclt was
probably tboyoungostof the senators
Ills oratorical powers stamp him as h
lineal Inheritor ot tho blood of the
famous John Randolph of itoauoke
and tbe country will yet hear from lb'
young councilman from tbe Twelfth
distrlst.
Mr J. 0. Toiuloy as the presiding
oflleer of the houte of representatives
displayed ('rcat executive ability at
well as fairness and good temper. The
business of the legislature sailed
smoothly along under his able manage-
ment and the laws that bear bis sig-
nature as speaker will be au enduriog
monument to his fame.
U would be a pardonablo Uguro of
speceh perhaps to say that Mr. hose
the chairman of tbo judlslary commit
tee of tho house is a veritable daisy.
Ills IcubI ability and parliamentary
knowledge gavo him unquestlonuble
leadership on tbe floor of tt.o Ijoute
and tho territory b Indebted to him
for some of the best and most Impor-
tant laws enacted by this legislature.
Another able eloquent forcible and
earnest advocate of tho people's rights
and Interests was W. It. Berry chair
man of the ways and means committee
one of tho most Important committees
ot tho houte. Hrcry good aause found
in himn able champion and ho was
never known to lllnsh from (diowing
tho courago of his convictions. Ho
has been a valuable member ot the
legislature and has richly deterved a
second term.
Mr Hogan lias done good work in
securing the passage ot tho laws en-
acted this soselou but his name will
be longer remembered perhaps as tho
nuthor ot tho cigarette bill.
Such is tho irony of fate Messrs.
Ilarnw Mourlquand and Vlekers rep-
resenting the Republican minority
have not been a'.lowed much hand in
shaping the recent legislation but
both the house and the country nre in
dsbtetl to thorn tor tmtoh ablo and pa-
triotic assistance in passing many of
the most meritorious meanuros during
tho present term. Mr. llaruos' execu-
tive ability in the speaker's chair was
conspicuous and brllli.uit
A strung debater and a ready and
tluent talker on tho floor was Mr.
Graves whose apodal commission to
call duwn the legal fraternity t ovory
opportunity never allowed Itself to
overlook a bet. Mr. Stovall whoso
name will be linked with tho law
prohibiting th sale of liquor outBldo
ot cltM within two weeks nf tho
samo ''us inoilo n bravt ntul earnest
legislator.
Mr. Doyle's legal training has. been
very usuful to himself and valuab'o to
the people in shaping tho recent laws.
Ills ability and standing was recog-
nized In making lilm speaker pro tern
and chairman ot Important committees.
Tho snace of TitK Luaiirh forbtds It
to speak at largo of many other ablo
and eminent legislators and the names
of Cliorry Ferguson St. Clair Kills
Olson Christian Willis Uault and a
score ot others will be gratefully re-
