COLOSSAL INJUSTICE.
a CCORDING to press reports, the world is
A about to witness one of the most sharply
■ *■ defined examples of the unfairness to
romnn on aeeouut of her sex alone, which has
iharaeterized men since long bclore histor)
■egan, which has ever come to light.
The French Academy of Science is one of
he few supreme seientilio organizations in the
yorld. Membership in this body can only be
eeured by the highest, type ot ability and
tehievement, and is the highest, honorwhich
■an come to any French scientist. ^ Likewise
t has always remained a body which was en
.irely free from consideration other than those
>f ability and accomplishment, for it is entirely
n the hands of the scientists themselves.
Mr. Curie of Paris held a chair in the famous
scientific organization previous to his acciden
tal death a few years ago. lie will be rerneni
bered as the discoverer, in conjunction with Ins
wife, of radium, the discovery which can well
be called the most monumental Physical and
chemical discovery of the past quarter cen-
tury. In this great work, that accomplished by
his wife was to say the least, fully equal to that ^ ||J R|
done by him; indeed, many scientists are 111 ,,.,pncity to make his t
clined to give lier the chiel eiVuit ot t 10 \ o. qUa]jfje(j success. Many
And now that his chair is vacant, she is leiiif: who lias made a m<
urged by her friends, and lately by herselt in1
a letter of application, as the proper person to
be elected to fill the vacancy.
The unfairness in the matter conies from
the fact,—at least it is so published,—that this
woman, who is by all standards known to
science,.entitled to rank with the greatest living
students and investigators of today, who will
not be denied by anyone to be the full intel-
lectual equal of anv man now a member of that
institution, will be" denied this crowning honor
of a life of science,—because she is a woman.
It is scarcely believable that a body ot men
of the breadth.of opinion which should char-
acterize the French Academy, could be capable
of the narrowness and small mindedness neces-
sary for action of this kind. It resembles the
bigotrv of the middle ages far more than the
spirit of this age of enlightenment, which has
broken the bondage of so many ideas of ignor-
ance, but which seems to find it so difficult to
get away from the notion, that women are in-
trinsicaliv inferior to men.
It is till right to resist the attempts of
women to occupy stations for which they are
not fitted, or from which they are excluded by
nature. But the realm of intellect is a democ-
racy, as is no other field of human endeavor,
and the attempt to place such absurd restric-
tions iu a case whore they arc manifestly un
justifiable immensely weakens the case of the
masculine sex when they attempt to maintain
a natural and necessary distinction. It will be
far easier to resist the sometimes absurd claims
of the crusaders for women's rights if the
record is free from such stupidities as this one.
The attempt of the state bankers to remove
the banking board from the hands of the elected
officers of the state to a special appointed board
at large salaries is meeting a good deal of op-
position from various quarters. This much
should be said for it, however; if tho bankers
are willing for this additional expense to lie
paid out of the fund which they are required
to contribute, they should be permitted to have
ii, provided no material weakness in the law is
added in connection. It iR possible that men
with no other duties than the conservation of
this fund would make a much greater success
of it than will five other men who are well
burdened with official duties which demand
their fir.rt allegiance. It is evident, however,
that modification of the law as it now stands
will he difficult, and that the final results m
this direction will not be very great. The peo-
ple are too well satisfied with the working of
the law as it now is.
-O
The time is now ripe for the passage of tlu^t
bootlegging ordinance,—not one promoting the
aforesaid industry, but one making in more
uncomfortable and less profitable. The senti-
ment in Shawnee is less favorable to this par-
ticular form of law violation than it has ever
been, and every assistance necessary to insure
the complete suppression of the traffic should
be given. It is true that under the general
terms of the present state law it is already the
duty of all peace officers, including the mayor,
to see that the law is enforced, but no very
considerable activity on the part of the local
police force will ever be secured until bootleg-
ging is made a violation of a city ordinance and
the poliec have an opportunity to make a show-
ing for themselves with their arrests. The
present city council ought not to go out of office
without providing for this situation.
O
The selection of John Williams as secretary
of the School Land Board no doubt comes as a
disappointment to those applicants who have
been making so severe a fight for it, but it is a
pood appointment from almost every angle.
He hns earned the position politically, nnd has
" 1 VJ- administration an un-
friends of S. W.
) most capable and satis-
factory officer, regret to see his retirement, but
the appointment of Mr. Williams to this, which
is the most important appointive office in the
gift of the administration, will give practically
universal satisfaction. It comes as the end of
one of the hardest contests which is likely to
occur in connection with any of the many ap-
pointments to be made^
All previous political combats in Oklahoma
will appear puny in comparison with the one
now gathering between Senator Owen and Ex-
Governor Haskell for the seat in the United
States Senate now held by Owen. These men
are the two ablest masters of political strategy
in this state today, and both have
very great resources at their com-
mand. The contests of three years ago,
where both were in action, though aspirants for
different offices, gave an indication of what
they are capable, and when they really face
each other in this campaign, it will be a contest

Get from your grocer today a can-of Calumet Baking Powder. Bake a batch of
biscuits, a cake or your favorite pastry. If the baking does not come out just as
good, or better, than usual. If it is not as light, sweet and de-

respect, providing of course you have in every other way exer-
cised your usual methods, take the can of Calumet back to the
grocer and get your money. This is our first step in making
friends for Calumet. The continued good results, the purity,
the economy in both cost and use will hold them.

Yesterday afternoon In superior
court Charley Little Bear pleaded
guilty to horse stealing and was sen-
tenced to a year and a day in tke
McAlester prison, and also to pay all
expenses and make full resUtution.
On the 31st day of October, 1903,
Little Bear, drunk at the time, stole
a horse from Fred Cessna at Tecum-
seh. On being arrested and arraigned
he made a plea of not guilty. On
advice of counsel and of the previous
county attorney that if he pleaded
guilty and made restitution of prop-
erty the court would give him the low-
est sentence permissible in such a
case. He was therefore allowed yes-
terday to withdraw his previous plea
of not guilty and plead guilty instead.
Cessna recovered everything but the
horse blanket.

MAKING GOOD
There is no way of making lasting friends like " Making Good' j and
Dr. Pierce's wdicincs well exemplify this, and their friends, after more
than two decad.-.s of popularity are numbered by the hundreds of thou-
sands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards.
A good, honest square-deu! medicine of known composition is
Dr. Pierce's Oolclen Medical Discovery.
It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that have come into promi-
nence in the earlier period of its popularity have "gone by the board and are never
more heard of. There must be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is
to be fouitd in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or
for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it
has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have
suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant indigestion, dyspepsia,
headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue,
with hitter taste, ioss of appetite, with distress after eating,
nervousness and debility, nothing is as good as Dr. Pierce's
dolden Medical Discovery.
It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper—
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may
make a little bigger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don't buy

Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 17 —
The latest political commission, one
of the most Important In the gift of
the state administration, is that John
R. Williams, Governor Cruce's cam-
paign manager, who has repeatedly
stated that he was not a candidate
for any office, may be induced to ac-
cept the place in order to relieve tne
governor from the embarrassment
which would be caused by selecting
secretary from among the great
number of applicants for the place,
most of whom are men of consider-
able political Influence.
The secretary is not selected by
the governor, but by the school land
commissioner, of which he is a mem-
ber, but It is understood that all of
the members of the commission would
delighted if Williams could be
induced to accept the place. It is
felt that he is eminently fitted to
the care of the work of that Impor-
tant office, and at the same time
it would be impossible for his selec-
tion to cause any haul feeling among
the various applicants, as it is recog-
nized that his services during the

For more than 30 years it has been
curing woman's ills such as inflamma-
