Natlien E. Kendall, Republican
member of Congress from Iowa,
Ins introduced in the House an
anti-injunction bill which pro
vides that no injunction or re
straining order shall be issued
without notice; that no agreement
for action shall be termed a con
spiracy unless the act agreed
upon would be a crime if com
mitted by an individual; and that
contempt of court shall not be
punished until after conviction
by a jury. It would be interest
ing to know that Mr. Kendall's
purpose in introducing this bill.
If it was merely a piece of cheap
politics, intended solely toga-,
him votes in his district and in
troduced with the full purpose
of permitting it to die in com-
mittee, it would be merely of a
piece with many such deplorable
and insincere acts of demagogues
not statesmen. But Mr. Kendall
announces that he is "in deadly
earnest" and proposes to work
"night and day" to secure the
passage of the measure. But to
what purpose? Is not the Iowa
Representative sufficiently
familiar with the views of Presi
dent Taft to know that such a bill
would be vetoed as promptly as
.it reached the White House":
With Democratic majorities in
both houses of Congress and
with Mr. Bryan in the Chair
such a measure might become a
law;for it is in entire accord with
the promises contained in Mr.
Bryan's platform; although the
Democrats never regard party
promises as made to be fulfilled,
as is shown by their repudiation
of the free lumber plank in their
platform. When Mr. Taft was
nominated he was told he must
remain silent, on his views re
garding anti injunction legisla
tion or he would be defeated.
His reply was to go practically
all over the country addressing,
wherever possible, gatherings of
laboring men; and to tell them
that lie would go down to defeat
in the campaign rather than ad-
vocate, that he would cut otf his
right hand rather than sign, a
a bill which would constitute such
a blow at the judicial power of
the United States. And the
answer of the laboring men was
to snap their fingers in the face
of their leader Gompers and to
roll up majorities for Taft larger
than the most sanguine dared to
expect. The laboring men cheer-
ed Judge Taft when lie told them
to their face that he would never
approve a measure which de
prived the courts of the right to
grant injunctions, to punish for
contempt without jury trial, or
to forbid conspiracies calculated
to destroy a man's business,
even though the same act com
mited by one man would no more
be a crime than it would a con
spiracy. What then is Mr. Ken
dall's purpose?
Death of Mrs. George W. Sparks.
Mrs. Frances Olive Sparks
wife of our esteemed fellow-
townsman George \V. Sparks
died at the family home in this
city of a complication of diseases,
at 10:45 p. m., May 24, 1909.
Mrs. Sparks had been in poor
health for several months, and
continued to fail until death re-
lieved her sufferings. She was
born in Illinois, Jan. 18, 1859.
She was twice married. Two
children wore born of the first
union, a son who died in child-
hood and a daughter Mrs. Harry
E. Rugh, of Kingfisher. She
was united in marriage about
si-ven years ago in this place to
Mr. Sparks her now bereaved
husband, the niairiage proving a
happy one.
The funeral took place Tuesday
afternoon from the family home,
conducted by Elder J. W. Duff of
the Christian Church of which
deceased was a member, assist
ed by the Hennessey Rebekali
Lodge to which Mrs. Sparks be
longed. The remains were taken
to Bethany, Mo , Tuesday even
ing, where the deceased formerly

OBITUARY.
Lewis S. Maddox, an old soldier
of the Union army died at his
home in the northeast part of
Hennessey about 11 o'clock on
Monday night, May 24, 1909,
aged 79 years, 3 months, 12 days.
He was married to Grace F
Inman, his now bereaved wife,
Feb. 2, 1870 To them were born
ten children, six of whom are
living. Father Maddox, as he
was called by many who knew
him, united with the M. E. church
in 1853. He was formerly a resi-
dent of Sherman township, north
of the Twin church and then
united with the Christian Union
church, worshiping with them
until he removed to Hennessey a
few years ago when he transfer
red his .membership to the M. E.
Church in Hennessey. His was
a consistent Christian life, as
testified to by his old friend and
neighbor Rev. Arnote, of the
Christian Union church who
preached his funeral at the M. E
church in Hennessey, yesterday
morning, whose testimony is
also confirmed by those best ac
quainted with the deceased. The
remains were accompanied to
the church and grave by mem
bers of the G. A. R Post and
W. R. C.
One by one the old soleiers are
dropping out of sight—but not
out of remembrance. Many
friends deeply sympathize with
the widow and family of the de-
ceased.
They "Showed" 'Em a Good
Country.
Last Thursday F. L. Boling
and M. O. Stettler in the hitter's
big Rambler touring car drove
into Hennessey and stopped for
dinner. Messrs. Boling and M.
11. Collins of Kingfisher, accom I
panied by two capitalists from
the East who were inspecting the
country with the view of invest
ing in farm mortgages, left King- j
fisher last Friday, with M. O.
Stetler as driver, and had been
over portions of Canadian, Blaine,
Major, Alfalfa, Woods, Grant,
Garfield and Kingfisher counties,
undoubtedly the cream counties
of Oklahoma, and showed the
gentlemen to their hearts content
that Oklahoma farm mortgages
were a good and safe investment.
It took them just 14 minutes to
to drive from Hennessey to
Bison.
