A meeting of the Enid bar associa-
tion was held yesterday afternoon in
the probate court room at which
more than the usual attendance was
present. Sixteen members of the
bar answered the call. It had been
reported that something was to be
considered relative to the district
judgeship a.id this caused all lawyers
who could do so to be on hand.
Attorney Charles Moore, president
of the local bar association presided.
About a half dozen lawyers made
brief talks in which they stated that
information had come to them lrom
authoratative sources that at the
present meeting of the supreme
court in Guthrie a redistricting of
the judicial districts would take
place oy which Garfield couuty would
ither be made a part of Judge Ir-
win's district on the south or of Judge
liainer's on the east, and Beaucbamp
would be pivt nsomj other county m
place of his home county.
An eude?vur was made by all i re-
sent to place their objections to the
proposed change entirely outside of
the controversy over the judgeship
and solely on the grounds of the great
inconvenience which would result to
local attorneys from a removal from
Enid of the court's headquarters
Judge Irwin'a home is in Kl Reno and
Judge Hainer's in Perry.
If the proposed change were made
Beauchatnp would have to move to
some other county because the law
requires the jndge to live in bis judi-
cial district. An 1 Enid would be de-
prived of even a district couit head-
quarters. This would result in 'great
delay to litigation here. And as Enid
is more than twice ;.s large and pro-
bably has more than twice as many
lawyers as any city in either of the
districts to which the change is pro-
posed the attorneys consider that the
court headquartes should by right be
located in this city as heretofore.
After considerable discussion along
the above line participated in by
nearly all members of the bar pre-
sent the following resolutions com-
mittee was appointed: Whittinghill,
Steen, Huett, James and West. After
a few minutes deliberation the fol-
lowing written rtsolutions were re
ported and the report was signed by
every member of the committee.
Be it Resolved, That it is the sense
ol this meeting that while the Bar of
Garfield County does not object to
change in the Personnel of the pre-
siding judge of this district
and makes no suggest on as to what
counties shall constitute the fifth
judicial district of Oklahoma, it is op
posed to Garfield couuty being at-
tached to or made u part of any other
district, and that a copy of these res-
olutions be at once forwarded to the
Supreme court.
These resolutions were adopted by
the bar association without a single
dissenting vote.
The unanimity with which the
resolutions were adapted was not
bised wholly upon the opposition to
the present judge. It was felt by the
bar association that an attempt was
being made by the friends of Beau
champ to sacrifice the Interests of
Garfield count; and Enid to save the
judge. This feeling was freely ex
pressed in the meeting. It was
agreed by several attorney that to
change the loc • tlon of the federal
court away from here during the
pending of the statehood bill would
materially militate against the effort
to fecure a federal building and di
vision of federal court here under
statehood. And the vital interest
which this community has in this
federal court matter caused asponta
neous uprlsinr. against any such se'
fish action.

for
Bronchitis
One of the greatest problems in the
life of a newspaper man of very com-
mon ordinary intelligence, Is how to
answer the spasms of a competitor
who knocks the true principles of his
o n business; how tu answer a man
who con inually sacrifices the sub-
stauce he needs to sust lin himself as
an honorable man in a respectable
community of Intelligent people, how
to answer a man, self couvicted with
hisoun treachery in his own words is
a duiy that we would like to pass
h iw to answer an Albiro, printing
beggar upon the body politics of
the fair city of Enid; how
to answer a man who is
n it respected by any political fac-
tion of bis own political party or any
religious denomination in the city;
how to answer a man who deliberate-
ly, knowingly and falsely publishes
alleged facts as to the records of the
city on Hie in the city clerks office,
how to answer a dampphool is one of
the hardest problems In the duty of
an editor toward others involved in
the screed which appeared in the
Enid Eagle last night.
The Wave would gladly reproduce
the accusation, in incrimination, of
the article in the Eagle last night
reflecting on the honesty of this man-
agement and the city council, but
space forbids.
However, in defense of the city
council, not ours, we are expected to
meet the misleading statements of a
hungry po.itical legal printing "pot
searcher,' a man who has enjoyed
more good lucrative stealing from the
public crib, or pie counter, of either
the city or couuty than any other
printer of Big Jim's bat awick.
Tbisgieat Albino Beaver county
pinto with lack spots an his abdomen
-ay- th acertain precedents, usages
d customs have established as to
the price ef legal printing. This is
news to the Wave. Drummond may
establish precedents and customs and
rules for the control of his ow.i busi-
ness, but not for the Wave's. The
Wave has nothing to do with Drum-
mond, his business or his price; we
don't exchange papers with him,
neither do we borrow anything from
or loan anything. The Wave is run
its own rules and regulations;
it neyer met with any other news
paper people to establish prices in
any department of the newspaper
business, and, would not. The Enid
Eagle acknowledges that the laws of
the territory grant newspapers 75
cents per square for the first inser-
tion and half of th a for the second
ins rt on, which is not true, as the
law says 50 c nts for the second in-
sertion.
Inasmuch as the Eijfte says and
agrees and acknowledges that thj
Wave lias never chirg -d the full
1-g il fee allowed by law, in fact only
secured about half, hence, the thiev-
ing word "grafter" connot be applied
truthfu I .
The Wave don't care particularly
foi tbe ic uaation the Eagle inakis
ay Inst tne pap.ir ,>r the editor, but
when it s.iya that the city council
passes t ie -Vavk.'s >ll < without giv-
ing the same any business attention
is a damnable misleading lie and an
Insult to the council, republicans,
democrats and jur honorable
Mayor.
In considering these controversies
the people are entitled to know that
the Wave is not under any specific
partially untrue. But, it failed to
sta e that it presented a bill to tiie
city council at the meeting of Friday,
December 8, for $0.50 f r a notice
City Clerk Lee had inserted when the
Wave's bill for the same notice was
only $2 16. The council held up the
Eagle bill, referrii g it to the printing
Committee who are still holding it
asking Mr. Drummond to reduce it to
the s ze of the Wave bill for the same
item and the council w II not pay said
bill until Mr. Drummond comes down
to the price charged by the Wave, a
paper he is now attempting to prcve
a graftfr.
To u.ane a tiresome subject short
the Wave will say that it stands
boldly on lis record as a straight bus-
iness i s'itution that pays its bills.
Inotdei to be honest to itself and
those who credit, it must cnarge a
fair price for its services. The Wavk
is doing the city printing a< cheap as
it can to live
In conclusion the Wave will say-
that it believes that the average bus-
iness man hates a competitor in any
line of business who does work with
out profit simply to beat a competi-
tor out of a living.
The Wave has always showed up fo
the honor and integrity of the print
ing business, ever recognizing that
the printer should be rewarded for
his labor whether we were the printer
chosen or not.
Pete Drummonj is the meanest,
dirtiest at.d most contemptiable
cuicpttitor that ever existed; simply
■ ecause he wants , hog it all
aud auylh'ng lie cannot hog he wi i
try and cut ihe price so that others
cannot make a liy'ng. The Eaglt
has no hopts of eecuriag the city
printing, that tact is quite apparent,
but if he can cut the price to starva-
tion f. r the prirter In favor,
hia d imnable albino, pinto soul
will be | erfrctly satisfied.
OH. MAMMA!
WHAT A GRAFT!!
Pete Charges County Ovjr $609 f r

Is Pete Drummond a thoroughbred,

Is hj a deliberate, brazen u iprinci-
pU d mis-epresenter of facts? Let
the people of Enid jodiie fsr them

inexplicable situation.

In all probability Pete had this bill
lying on his desk when he wrote the
article on the Wave's graft, and his
conscience hurt him so that he had
to do something to drive away the
thoughts of his own graft he was then
committing. The bill Pite presented

The Cat Out of The Bag.
That Buck Campbell and Pete
D ummo'd are both disgusted with
and secretly in league against the
present republican party leaders
has often been charged. Campbell
has during the lastyearmade an open
light on bis party's organization.
Pete's fight has been chiefly under
cover. The following from this
week's Hornet shows where they
stand:
"Mr. Drummond, editor of the Enid
Eagle, was on the train that was
wrecked here Sunday morning on bis
return from Guthrie where he had
been to pay reveience to the great
fathers who nave, so they say, been
given the control of all political pie
in the territory, and were holding a
meeting there for the purpose of ap
portioning it out to the faithful,
Pirsonally Mr. Drummond entertains
about the same views of the Hornet
man, but he is running a daily "Re
pubtican" party paper and has to
conduct himself accordingly "

1 crritorial Game Warden Watrous
has maoe some remarkable captures
this Mason but the one of last night
was probably the strangest of all. In
going through the trains as he usually
does Mr. Watrous ran on to some
large tuba seemingly tilled with but-
ter. Taking a wire aud shoving it
through the layer of butter the game
warden drew out some feathers. And
sure enough tbe various tubs were
all filled with quail. The entire ship
ment, comprising several thousand
birds, was confiscated.
Mr. Watrous has donated 200 quatf
to the G. A. R. for use at their dinner
tomorrow and theG. A R members
are looking forward to the feast
with much delightful anticipation.
The shippers are pretty smooth
but they aren't too smooth for the
sbar^i eyes of the game warden.
