YOU 8USPECTED YOUR ! GREAT TRUTH

Oklahoma City.—All of the Oklaho-
ma railroads doing an interstate busi-
ness have Joined in an application to
the corporation commission to sus-
pend indefinitely the order requiring
the establishment of general offices in
this state in accordance with the pro-
visions of the constitution.
When the commission's order was
issued, the railroads endeavored to ap-
peal to the supreme court, which held
that the order was not appealable. At
the request of the roads, the commis-
sion then suspended the operation of
the order for six months, on condition ne'y pijjs an(j at last was entirely

The six months period has now ex-

terms. The commission has taken no
action on the request as yet.
The roads have also Joined In an
application to the commission to

ing the bulleting of trains, so that it
will not apply to freight trains.
ADDED 'EM UP.
Oklahoma City—The Oklahoma cor-
poration commission, the Oklahoma
City packers, and other Oklahoma City
rate men interested in the interstate
rates on livestock, fresh meats and
packing house products in the south-
west, have the greatest confidence
that the hearing before the inter-
state commerce commission which
closed last week will result in reduc-
tions and adjustments of the rates
which will place Oklahoma City as a
livestock and packing center on an
absolute equality with other packing
centers of the central west.
Stanley H. Johnson, assistant
general freight traffic manager of the
Rock Island lines, after vainly at-
tempting to explain how discrimina-
tory rates had been put In operation
against Oklahoma City, admitted to a
question from Commissioner Prouty
that the railroads had made a failure
in adjusting southwestern rates.
Mr. Johnson made the statement
after he had been discussing the con-
ditions and the advances which were
announced following the establish-
ment of the Oklahoma plant. Com-
missioner Prouty interposed frequent-
ly to ask him questions regarding dis-
criminations which appeared against
Oklahoma City, and he said that he
could not justify them, he only was
attempting to explain why they had
been put into effect. The statement
of Mr. Johnson was that "the railroads
of the southwest have made a failure
In adjusting livestock and packing
house product's rates, we wish the
commission better luck in so doing."
Oklahoma City—Acting Governor J.
J. McAlester approved the Lawton
city charter, after giving a hearing
to both sides, signing up the copy
which is claimed by the board of free-
holders to be the correct ohe. In the
copy which was brought in by Mayor
G. H. Block, Section 61, the election
section of the charter, is missing.
Block called the election for a vote on
the charter as on file In his office, and
therefore claims that that was the one
which was adopted by the people.
Block appeared before the governor
last week, accompanied by his attor-
neys, Chas. Mitichrich and W. E.
Hudson, and Senator J. Elmer Thomas,
who was a member of the board of
freeholders which drafted the charter,
appeared on behalf of that board. It
is understood that the matter will be
taken into court at once to test the
legality of the charter.
IN EPIGRAM'
Few Worda of the Late Edwin A. Ab-
bey Contain a Whole Sermon
to Miters.
"The late Edwin A. Abbey, the
American painter who lived in Lon-
don, was only comfortably off, where
as he might have been rich."
The speaker, a Chicago art dealer,
had Just returned from Europe. He
continued:
"I dined one evening with Abbey in
his house In Chelsea, and after dinner
we walked In the blue twilight on the
Chelsea embankment.
"As we passed Old Swan House and
Clock House, and the other superb
residences that front the river, I re-
proached Abbey for his extravagance.
" Why,' I said, pointing 'toward
Clock House, 'If you had saved your
money, you might be living In a pal-
ace like that today.'
"But Abbey, with a laugh, rather
got the better of me. He rattled off
this epigram—and it's an epigram I'll
always remember when I'm tempted
to be parsimonious:
" 'Some folks," he said, 'are so busy
putting something by for a rainy day
that they, get little or no good out of
pleasant weather.'"

Diary of a Fly-Killer.
Monday—My attention was called
last night to a statement that house
files are bearers of diseare and should
be destroyed as soon as possible. I
began my crusade against them this
morning. It was a little discouraging,
because there was onty one fly in the
house and it was quite agile. It es-
caped me. I broke two vases and a
photograph frame.
Tuesday—I nearly killed three flies
this afternoon, but the lamp got In
the way. It wns a $7 lamp.
Wednesday—I saw a fly on the out-
side of the fly screen and raised the
screen so I could hit it. Seventeen
flies flew in. I missed it.
Thursday—There was a sluggish
looking fly on the window with closed
wings. I stole toward it cautiously,
but It flew up just as I let the blow
fall. Then I knew it wasn't a fly. It
was a waBp. My nose began to swell
