tencies of those who opposed the
measure some of them declaring
that they were for national prohi-
bition, if we could have that, and
when the opportunity came to go on
record, become obstructionists, as
they always are
In regard to the matters for which
Mr. Stone, himself, has been lobby-
ing in the house he warned his hear-
ers to be prepared for defeat as he
had no assurance that success would
attend his efforts.
Perplexities of a Lobbyist
Mrs. Hillerman told of the nerve
racking work of a lobybist, as she
stated she had been in five or six
legislatures, and of the difficulty of
getting bills recommended out of
committee, and then in getting them
advanced on the calendar in order,
as there are so many ways of set
ting back and allowing other favored
ones to have precedence.

How Governor Stilled the Applause
Mrs. Hillerman said there was
glints of the lighter vein that go in-
to to relieve the serious, strenuous
work of the session. In thiH connec-
tion she referred to the incident of
the presentation of the governor's
address. The address itself was ser-
ious enough, and contained as the
speaker declared, many excellent
recommendations, but the humor
that appealed to her was its effect
on the listeners At the outset the
apeparance of the distinguished
speaker, duly escorted by commit-

representative of his own peculiar

There is but one Abbie Hiller-
man and the people of Oklahoma
who do not know of half the work
she is doinc among the legislators of
this state," said Hon. W. B. Stone
at Presbyterian church Sunday mak-
ing the opening address, and intro-
ducing Mrs. Hillerman of this city to
the meeting called to tell of the im-
portant work that is being done at
Oklahoma City in an effort to get
needed legislation passed, among
the subjects, the raising of age of
consent; the securing of a statute
requiring scientific temperance in-
struction in the public schools the
securing aid for the state Industrial
school for Girls, in which there are
four from Sapulpa, the pool hall
bill, and the bill for the regulation
of the moving picture shows, all Im-
portant measures, as will be seen.
"Mrs. Hillerman is trying to not
ask for more than she can hope to
get," continued Mr. IStone, "aware
that If she asks too much she will
be disappointed.' 
Her Unanswerable Logic
Unknown to Mrs. Hillerman Mr
Stone stated that he had heard her
appeals to members of the house,
and that it would melt the heart°of
stone, so much of the Interest of a
Christian mother did It show, and
with logic so unanswerable. "She

get what she asks for and Sapulpa
should be glad to be the home of
such a woman. She is recognized

the cause she represents, and I wish
which has been recommended for
passage by the joint committee of
both houses, is fashioned after the
Ohio law on the same subject She
said that when the bill came up for
a vote of the house the only vote
recorded against it was that of the
Muskogee member. The bill Is now
ready for engrossment and the gov
THIRD ernor's signature has been promised.
Haggling Over Age of Consent
Of the age of consent measure in
which attempt is being made
raise from 14 to 18 the bill has not
yet been reported out of the commit
tee of jurisprudence of the house, to
which it was referred but it Is ex-
pected the first of this week. The
judiciary committee of the senate
has reported that the bill do not
pass, but the minority report of the
same committee has been moved as
a substitute, and it is expected that
with a favorable report from the
house, the latter may be endorsed
on the floor. This statute once read
sixteen, but in making up the liar-
ris-Oay code it was changed to four-
teen in some manner never explain

Mrs. Hillerman went to Tulsa
county to get a champion for her
bill and found a very able one In

official, ending by recommending that
the legislature itself be reduced by
half its number the chill cast was
oppressive^ and the applause froze
on the finger tips The applause re-
ceded in proportion to the gover-
nor's recommendations
Dints Made is Finest Ever
The speaker had been present sii
years ago when the now governor
presented the constitution of the
state out of the constitutional con-
vention and then pronounced it the
finest ever. The large list of alter-
ations he now asked so soon after
struck the speaker as notable.
The particulars of the bill present-
ed by Supt. of Public Instruction
Wilson regarding picture shows
were given and commended. Thi*y
seem to have the approval of the
members and embody many excel-
lent provisos.
A collection was given Mrs. Hil-
lerman in carrying on her work an<1
she goes back renewed in strength
and determination
A service of song aud devotional
exercises accompanied the program.
Members Shy at Record
Taking the vote on the minority
report it lost by one vote. On call-
ing for a rollcall on the vote it car-
ried by three, and three others then
asked that their votes be changed
to it. It makes a difference when
the record is being made up.
Mrs. Hillerman urged that appeals
be made to members of the house to
act favorably on the bill before them
and to do It now. Action is likely
to be taken any day which will
mean success or defeat.
Pool Hal! Bill has 'em Jumpin'
Mrs, Hillerman stated that the
proposed pool hall bill had been the
cause of more telegrams- and mes-
sages to members than probably auy
measurs before the legislature. The
alarm went over the state and the
terests got busy. Tnside of 24 hours
a big poll hall man of Chicago ar-
rived and was laboring with the
members trying to save what he
could from the wreck, t is found
that in other parts of the state, as
In Sapulpa, there are poll hall own
ers who are holders of liquor license
and this constitutes one of the good
reasons why they are undesirable
There are many other reasons, with
hardly a good feature to recommend
♦ hem. Mrs. Hillerman believes that
the bill will become law? but greatly
amended. Better places of amuse-
ment are going to be demanded
She said that at the same hour in

Amos PInchot, progressive leader,
testifying after dawson, advocated
government ownership of railroad's
and a government leasing of all na-
tural resources. His position was
that competition is essential in ev-
erything except those things that
affect raw materials and transpor-
tation.
Pinchot in the course of his own
testimony charged that the Associat-
ed Press, a news gathering agency,
had consistently taken the side of
capital in the Colorado and other

its relation to government ownership
Pinchot said that the government
would provide more employment for
the Jobless. <He asserted that exten-
sive private monopoly is not good
for laborers.
