Cralle's Prohibition Measure.
Senator Cralle of the Cleveland-
Pottawatomie district has a bill be-
fore the legislature to "prohibit
the manufacture, sale, barter or
giving away of intoxicating liquors
in the District of Columbia for a
period of twenty-one years." In
explanation of the rather remarka-
ble measure, Senator Cralle calls
attention to the fact that many In-
dians go to Washington while con-
I gress is in session for the purpose
of seeing the "Great Father" who
are debauched by being sold liquor,
and by reason of the existence of
certain treaties, moral responsibili-
ty attaches to the nation to protect
them. His bill proposed to do this
ery thing for a period of twenty-
ine years at least.
It will likely be pointed out that
the Oklahoma legislature is with-
jurisdiction in this matter and
that the bill was offered as a satira-
cle thrust at the United States sen-
ate, which is doubtless true, yet the
fact remains that the Oklahoma
legislature has about the same right
regulate the moral code in the
District of Columbia as the United
States senate has in Oklahoma.
In this connection the question
aturally suggests itself, if the
United States senate has the right
to say whether we shall have sal-
oons or not, it also has the same
ight to place grocery stores, ho-
tels, pop factories, etc., under the
ban, prescribe the days on which
i'e shall eat meat and otherwise
egulate all sumptuary affairs. In-
deed, it can legislate religion into
us about as well as morals, just as
it is shooting civilization into the
Filipinos.
And there are just as good
grounds for Senator Cralle's con-
tention as there are for the United
States senate's. The only differ-
ence between them is that the for-
mer proposes to "protect" the In-
dians in Washington while the lat-
ter proposes the same thing at
home, notwithstanding the exist-
ence of ample federal laws against
the sale of liquor to Indians in Ok-
lahoma the same as in the District
of Columbia.
We're for the Cralle bill, tooth
and toe nail.—Oklahoman.

Cralle Introduces BUI.
Considerable amusement was cre-
ated Saturday in the senate by the
introduction of a bill by Senator
Cralle '' to prohibit the manufacture,
sale, barter or giving away of in-
toxicating liquors in the District of
Columbia for a period of twenty-one
years." In explanation of the bill
Senator Cralle called attention to
the fact that many Indians who go
to Washington to lobby are greatly
debauched by being sold liquor,
and by reason of the existence of
certain treaties the Indian should
be protected from these outrages.
The closing of all saloons ui the
District of Columbia, he satirically
remarked, is imperative and a ne-
cessity for twenty-one years. He
hoped the Oklahoma legislature in
view of the pressing necessity,
would lose no time in abolishing
liquor from the District of Colum-:
bia, in order to protect the Indian
in accordance with solemn treaty
obligations.
The bill carries this explanation
with it, and is considered one of
the cleverest satires that has come
to light in the territory.

T advertise this spring will find a good selec-
tion of cuts at this office. In fact we are
jj better prepared to do this class of work

Grand Prize for Potatoes.
E. Watsock of Spencer, called
at this office Saturday and exhibit-;
ed the award given him for the I
first grand prize on potatoes given |
at the world's fair in St. Louis.
The variety he gained this prize on
was the ' Bliss Triumph," of which
he raised about fifty acres last year
and two crops on the same ground.
This is not only an evidence of his
superior method, his ability as an
agriculturalist, but it is another
proof of Oklahoma's superior soil.
Where else upon the face of the
globe can a man raise two crops of
potatoes in one season and get the
world's fair premium on quality,
j Mr. Watsock has been raising po-|
I tatoes twelve years on this farm
I and he has made a snug fortune
ut it.—Exchange.
! One year with another, it is the
early planted corn which scores the
heaviest yield, yet untimely haste
before the soil has fully awakened
from its winter sleep and warmed
up to the growing poiut is unwise, j
Better a delay of a few days than ;
half a stand or the need of replant- j
ing. _______
! Cotton growers should decrease
their acreage over last year by at j
least 25 percent.
