CLAHKE AM A HIDKPKAI.BH.
Senator Sidney Clarko took another
fall out of the public printer Monday.
Ho did It as a personal privilege and In
retaliation for an editorial in the State
Capital. The editorial was free of ani-
mus—much more so than the senator's
speech seems to be. it merely stated
some facts showing republican methods
of printing were 50 per cent more eco-
nomical than democratic.
Senator Clarke's speech Monday, sim-
cred down, was only a declaration of
the difference between his Judgment of
what should go into the legislative
Journal and that of the chief clerk and
territorial secretary. Nothing was put
Into the Journal except that certified to
Secretary Jenkins by the chief clerk.
The senator thinks the bl-ennial re-
ports of territorial officials should not
have been in the Journals. In this he
is in error. They are submitted as sup-
plementary to the governor's message
and every chief clerk from the legislature
of 1*90 down has certified these as a
part of the proceedings. No document
go officially to a legislature—trans-
mitted to it officially by law—and not
be a part of the official Journals. Besides,
these reports are permanent history.
They must be officially preserved. How
can this be done, unless tney are printed
atid bound in the Journals of the legis-
lature to which the law requires they
shall be submitted? Secretary Martin
and Secretary Lowe placed these re-
ports In both the council ana house Jour-
nals as certified by the chief clerk. Sec-
retary Jenkins deemed It sufficient to put
them in the council Journal only. If
ho had not Senator Clarke could not
find ono of those reports today. Neither
could ho find a report of any public offi-
cial ever made to a legislature In Okla-
homa had they not been printed In the
legislative Journals.
If the senator will examine the Jour-
nals of state legislatures he will find
that In style and compactness, the Okla-
homa Journals of 1899 aro far
more economical. He quoted in
typewritten speech, the State Cap-
ital's allusion to the fact that
the journals of 1S99 undor Secretary Jen-
kins, were 816 pages less than the Jour-
nal of 1897, under a democratic secretary;
but Senator Clarko did not evidently
care to give credit for this. Neither did
ho mention that the printing for the
legislature of 1S97, fusion In both
branches, cost 18,000 more than that ofi
1899, republican in both branches.
The few compliments paid the Stats
Capital. lot puss. As to prtoe, there
wna plonty of competition. Advertlss-
ments railing for bids were printed for
two week, prior to lettm* t ie work out.
Secretary Jenkins received the bids, and
the lowest bidder got It. the secretary
of tho Interior at Washington, approving
the contract; and tho price paid In Ok-
lahoma Is less than that paid In any state
In the tlnlon. Public printing in Okla-
homa costs one-third tho cost in New
Mexico and Arl.ona: one-tenth the cost
In Kansas; one-clehlh the cost !n Indiana
and fifty per cent less than In the most
oconomlcal states in the nation.
Judge Rucker, the man who once
Invited Senator Blackgum of Ken-
tucky to the Held and created Quite
a little of the novel excitement in this
country that comes with the sugges-
tion of a full-grown duel periodico,
has challenged Judge Johnson of the
district court of Denver to a duel.
He considered himself Insulted In a
case In which he was defendant in
Judge Johnson's court recently.
Is said had not Senator Blackburn
made a killing at the festive poker
game he would very likely have ac-
cepted Judge Uucker's challenge to
send him to his maker, but that this
good luck saved Ruckcr's life and
honor. Johnson has none of tho Ken-
tuckian's lighting blood and he has
not hesitated to send his regrets. Thus
American valor is again allowed to
trail In the dust. Judge Johnson should
at least have appointed a substitute.
Roosevelt lias still a great task be-
fore him to rehabitate the frontier
spirit of that Btate.^^^^
John U Sullivan has approved the
new king of England. But this is mere
sport for John.

El Reno Democrat: Word reached a few
people In El Reno that a small portion of
the northwestern part of the school res-
ervation, several miles west of town, was
available for tf.alm purposes. It was leak-
ed out that Delegate Flynn wired some of
his most intimate friends of tho fact, and
thut John Murphy, Sr., was among them
and was the ilrst to secure a fine section
of land. It was stated that there was an
error In the original platting of tho lands.
There were about eight sections found open
to settlement. As soon as the rumor spread
over town there was great excitement and
many went out and staked a claim dur-
ing the night Tuesday and went to Ok-
lahoma City Wednesday to make their fil-
ing.
Oklahoma Cjty Times-Journal: Tester-
day about forty-live people from El Reno
arrived here to file on land in the Caddo
country, which they believed had been
thrown open to settlement by the recent
straightening of the meridian line which
runs east of tho country and had there-
by brought into Oklahoma about forty
quarter sections which would be open
for settlement. They were much disap-
pointed to learn that no such news had
been received at the land office here.
