Okeene, Ok la. June 11th, 1909
Mr.. Farmer, how about it,
•very Democratic Senator voted
to put farm implemtnts on the
free lie! while every Republican
voted for the high tariff. It will
give you something t> think
about while harvesting your eiop
Tjie fact that Aldrich’s daugh
ter married John D. Rookfellor.
Jr., can be aacertain«>d by bis
manipulation of the present tar-
iff bill in the interest of the var*
ious trusts without examining
the marriage certificate.
Whenever an ammondment or
paragraph of the present bill is
up fora vote Aldrich gives the
nod of assent or dissent to his
stand pat allies and they in
turn get busy on the so called
insurgent republicans and the re
suit is that Aldrich and the trust
have their way.
The Oklahoma delegation had
a conference with the assistant
Secretary of the interior
looking to changes in the
pipe line facilities tu Oklahoma,
with a view to securing wider
markets for the oil production
which is hoped will result in
higher prices.
Progressive Republicans are
coming to realise the truth of
democratic contention that the
republican party and the country
must be emancipated from the
grip of Aldrich and the Stand*
pat trust controlled Republicans
before this country can expert*
ence any relief.
Senator Gore assailed the Su*
gar trust yesterday and showed
that bv the reduction in the su-
gar schedule proposed by the A1
dricb.Payne bill, a laborer would
have to eat 20 pounds of sugar to
save a penny, a washer-woman
would have to eat 100 pounds to
save a sickle, the price of a bar
of soap, that the president would
have to eat his weight in sugar
to save the price of a shave and
the farmer of Oklahoma would
have to eat a ton to save a dollar
"A printing plant is to be estab-
lished in connection with the
State University, at Norman If
it is we hope to see printed
matter coming from the Univer-
sity properly punctuated as it
should always be from any print
ing outfit. The dude notion of
many to omit punctuation is born
of the grass ignorance of their
proper nse and nothing else-4-
Kiel Herald.
"Old man" the wheels of pro-
gression are moving along in
printing same as other lines. If
yon are in a rut and and can’t or
wont keep pace feilh the times,
you will either have to sidetrack
or be run over by the “up«to-
now limited” in the printistic art.
The "omit punctuation” you
speak of does not apply to articles
of reading matter or body type.
It is used solely in job printing
and display ads where in omiting
punctuation at the end of the
line, gives a more uniform, gym-
tematic appearance, pleasing to
the eye and balances up the work
to a perfection. Punctuation at
the end of lines in job printing
or "ads” gives an over balanced
effect and besides is superfluous
and unnecessary,
A coterie of Republican politi-
cians whose principsi political
asset has bees the illiterate negro
vote of the state, are now engag*
ed in trying to create sprejudics
against the Taylor election law
amendments on account of the
provisions requiring registration
in the conntry districts. This
is one of the wise provisions of
tha new Jaw and corrects a prac-
tice that has already done much
barm in the elate.
An hae been said the object of
this law is to*prevent the domin
stion of Oklahoma institutions by
ignorant, migratory negroes who
are coming in flocss and who sel-
dom have any permanent place
of a bod*
In prier elections the goodcit*
icens of many country precincts
have been aumtshed at beholding
swarms of negroes, .whom they
had never before seen, come to
the polls and demand a right to
vote, and when challenged would
prcceed to prove by each other
that they were qualified voters.
Again the politics ot many pre-
cincts have been completly chan
ged and dominated by railroad
or pipe-line construction gangs
who absolutely have no interest
in the precinct. These are not
rare instances by any means,
and regardless of party, arsout-
rageous which is corrected by
article seven of the election law
amendments.
The new registration amend-
ment does not require that the
elector be registered each elec-
tion, cn the contrary, when a cit-
ixen is once registered, he does
not have to be re-registered un-
til he removes from the precinct
The registration is for the pro-
tection of the qualified voters
within the precinct, and the conn
try precints are jurt as much en-
titled to protection as are the
city precincts. All the talk of
discrimination in registration is
rot.
Section four of article seven
provides; "Any person claiming
to be a qualified elector in any
precinct shall have the right at
any time during the registration
peroid to examiue the registra-
tion list for the purpose of as-
certaining whether or rot he is
correctly registered.”
Thus it will be seen that the
law protects the bona fide resi-
dent elector and that the only
voters that will be prohibited
will be the migratory illiterate,
repeater or specially imported
.voter whose only incentive is
the agreed stipulation.
Osage Opening
Ponca City. Okla., June 7th,—
Strict government supervision
will prevail during the opening
of the Osage Indian lands, the
exact date of which has not been
determined. The Indian owner
must make application with the
department asking for a certifi-
cate of mcom potency. The de-
partment will investigate each
individual caae and the certifi-
cate will be issued only after the
ability of the Indian has been
fully determined.
The purchaser will be requir-
ed to pay one-fourth down and
may have two years in which to
pay the balance.
Even with the certificate of
competence the government’s
supervision does not cease. The
actual transfer of cash in the
sale must .be made in the pres-
ence of federal officials. No
loophole is left for land grafters,
it is believed.
The sale probably will take
place the lHat of September or
first of October. Approximately
1-000,000 acres.
An ^interesting sidelight was
thrown by Senator Gore upon
the methods used is revising the
tariff under the Dingley law by
having the following correspond
snes read in tbs senate.
Boston, Mesa, June 10 1897
My dear Mr. North; I am un-
able |to go to Washington and

{Boston, Mass., June 2,1897
We all depend upon you to
watch closely our interest in this
regard. To sec that nothing is
overkoked or neglected by our
friends on the committee. I have
no doubt they will do all they can
do but with so many interests to

ive must see to it that our inter-
est receives proper attention.

pending on you wholly to look

drich on tha worsted-yarn sched
ule.
Yours truly, S, N. D. North.
Washington, D. C. June 20, 1897
It is Isoky 1 was bars, and in
the position I am. It has given
me the whole day to work on the
matter sad gat it right: and with
Aldrich sway there is no one on
the committee who knows any-
thing about it. But Allison and
Platt trust me, and I expect they
will both agree to what I have
asked. 1 went over «the matter
with them last evening.
