INDIAN TERRITOY
FORTY COUNTIES
In Order to Oontrol First State
Legislature
STATE PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Will be Located in the Eastern
Portion and Will Leave Insane
Asylum For Oklahoma and the
Oklahoma Tax Payers Settle
the Bills
An Oklahoman came In yesterday from
• trip through (ha Indian Territory mil
those good Indian democrat* over thero
nne Jubilant because the Oklahoma con-
stitutional democrats cannot manage a
"hen roost" and that they allowed the
Ii dlan delegate* tu get control of the con-
"ventlon and establish forty counties,
'which means forty representatives In
the stlte legislature giving them power
to locate all the public building In jthe
«astern jiart of the new state giving Ok-
lahoma the Insane asylum to bo the fu-
ture homo of Oklahoma democratic dele-
gates of the convention. They smile
main because the Oklahoma tax payers
will have to furnish the money for the
erection of tho state buildings located
In tho Indian Territory. The next move
of the Murray-Haskell combine will bo to
ci.angf the Mason and Dixon line as- the
boundary line between tho two territories
end the Oklahoma democrats will vote
"aye." It Is laughable how tho Oklaho-
ma boya have flirted with the Indian
Territory boya and have been taken In.
Tho Perry nterprlse-Tlmes Bays.
"With forty counties in the Indian Ter-
ritory and thirty-five In Oklahoma It
looks to uh as though the Oklahoma dem-
ocrats who ar- aspiring for state offices,
i might as well throw up the ei>nnge. Greer
end (Nimanohe counties might possibly
get something by uniting wit ti those for-
ty other counties, but outside of thij
the prospect looks dubious."
"What fools we mortals ho" for allow-
ing the Indians to give all the constitu-
tional 'pie' to their friends and leaving
us Oklahoma delegates to suck the hind
teat is exemplified In tho following from
the Bnld Kvents: "It ought to bo a source
©f great pleasure to ti.a democrats of this
county—Garfield county, which they car-
ried for the first time since 1896—to
<1**11 upon tho fact that neither Moore,
liftman, Ellis or Alderson was accord-
ed any patronage whatever in the con-
stitutional convention. In other words,
there was not a democratic appolnteo
from Garfield county In the convention.
There was likewise only one from the
empire of Woods, none from Grant. Kay,
Noble or Kingfisher and but very few
from Oklahoma at all. Thw 'democrats
of tho east half combined with tho «outh-
em portion, completely controlling .ill
patronage and rewarding only tho rock-
ribbed. This would seem to be an excel-
lent reward for the past efforts of tho
democrats of this county and at the
same time should t-each them the futtll-
• ty of doing anything for themselves loc-
ally over the democratic route."
Ono of the politicians of tho Chickasaw
nation stated that W. H. Murray secured
hi* nomination for delegate to tbe con-
stitutional convention over Mr. Skeen, nn
honored citlien of Wapanucka through
trickery and by influencing the ignora.it
fiillhlood Indians and playing the Farm-
ers' union upon the white farmers In th-i
Tishomingo district by telling them that
Skeen was a national banker, aristocrat
and bloated money-bag. Forty delegates
• that are members of tho IndUnhomn
Farmers' union, which organisation rep-
resents 30.000 to 36,000 members, know
full well that Alfalfa Bill Is not a mem-
ber of that organisation, but thut ho be-
longs to an imitation union of 350 mem-
bers. How these forty delegatus of the
Indianhoma union were influenced to vote
for Alfalfa Hill for president of theacon-
vention is a question yet unsolved.

for when there are so many things that
are really sensible and Important.

said the county seats will be named and

Alfalfa Bill playing the leading role
Among the actors on the outside of th'j
hall will bo hundreds of life-long demo-
crats from Woods and Woodward coun-
ties, who will be present to tell the Hos-
kell-Murray combine that sixty voting
precincts out of sixty-four In Woods
county will vote solid against the adop-
tion of the constitution and that Woods
county will elect tho representatives and
senators to the state legislature (pro-
vided the constitution Is adopted) by
3.000 republican majority.
Delegate J. F. King of Newkirk, one
of the Oklahoma loaders of the conven-
tion and the only member who has com-
mitted the enabling act to heart, ha.,
remained In Guthrie during the entire
recess and thoroughly examined th •
books and re-ords of Carnegie and ter-
ritorial libraries securing facts and ilg-

conservative citizen Instead of a partl-
duced him during the campaign, ask- that the initiative and referendum pro-
ing that farmer's unions and labor vision as introduced into the Oklahoma
unions be excepted from Its operation. I constitutional convention Is not perfect.
When questioned in regard to It, Mr.
Asp said, 'there Is no mention In the
provision of labor or farmer's unions.
Any unlawful combination in re-
straint of trade is prohibited." Wo

Possibly it can he strengthened by cer

fatluro to do so will convict the demo-
cratic party of hypocrisy. It has al-
ways claimed to stand for the rule of

Is what the Oregon Initiative and refer-
endum accomplishes, the rule of the

democrats ufrald to let the people rule?

Iowa. Illinois and Texas. His father
was a baptist minister and did active
work from 1R57 to 1887. Mr. James stud-
led at night while on the farm and
learned surveying after which lie attend-*
ed the state university at Austin. Tex-
as. and Baylor Business college at Waco,
Texas. He has held many positions of
trust in Caldwell and at other places !n
Texas. In 1900 he located In Beaver
covnty and engaged In the cattle busi-
ness. In 1894 he was elected county
commissioner. In 1897 heVwas united :n

Shawnee News:—Judge Maxoy is
spending tho holidays in Shawnee
during the recess of the constitution-
al convention, to which he is a dele-
gate from this district. He reports
that It Is Impossible to give an opin-
ion on future proceedings of that body
when they meet again, for every man
is taking his own counsel and not tell-
ing what he is going to do.
Jet Visitor: A number of tho constitu-
tional delegates Jocularly remarked at
Guthrie tho other that ther were afraid
that If they went home for the holidays
they would bo hung In efllgy or
victims of mob violence. Of course th. y
elld not expect such treatment as thai,
but they knew full well that they ha 1
burled their talent. They know that they
haven't been true to their trust and that
tho people have a Just cause for disap-
proval.
will take up the county seat question
as soon as they re-convene after tho
holidays. Well, If they fix everything
In the constitution so that it cannot be
changed there Is no use to have in-
serted In the same initiative and ref-
erendum, the people will have noth-
ing to say only adopt or turn it down,
and if they go on fixing the county
seats and other things they were not
elected for, I look for the whole thing
to be turned down or turned over to
the republican party.
Medford Patriot:—God should ap-
preciate the fact that His name has
bet*n adopted in the preamble of the
constitution without even a semblance
of douKT, if it did cost several thous-
ands of dollars to procure it. The
committee reported a prenmble In-
voking the blessing of the "Supreme
Ruler of tho Universe," which was
amended by substituting the words
"Almighty God." It took a full day
to determine the difference, and many
prosy speeches were made; at a cost
of $2000. The preamble as it now
stands Is as follows: "Invoking the
guidance of Almighty God, In order to
secure and perpetuate the blessing!
of liberty, to secure Just anel rightful
government, to promote our mutual
welfare and happiness, we the peo-
ple of Oklahoma, do ordain and es-
tablish this constitution." Verily the
mountain brought forth a mouse dur-
ing its month's labor.
Jas. H. Chambers, delegate 105th dis-
trict. Atoka. I. 'J'., was born and ralsxl
on the farm in Collins County, Texas ind
was enlucatcd In the publis schols of tho
s^ato of Texiis. supplemented by four
years in Grayson college where he grad-
uated with the degree of Bachelor of

tory, in 1895 and was admitted to the bar
portunity to denounce unnecessary
expenditure of public moneys would
rather flgdn^on less than 60 days in-
stead of attempting to make sure of
requiring the full limit of time allow-
ed. Had democrats met, frumed a
constitution and adjourned in 30 or
40 days they would have been able to
point to this fact as a record made by
them along the line of public econo-
my and samo would have been proof
conclusive of democratic pretentions
to economy.

The Mooted Question Discussed at
Washington
Special to the State Capital.
Washington 'Dc., The bug-bear of
congress is abroad again! Hardly had
the national legislature convened before
the committee on agriculture of the low
er branch 1 egan to tuke the testimony
of prominent aeedsnien. farmers, offi-
cers of national granges and others who
are opposed to the distribution of free
see'ds by tho department of agriculture.
The hearings held so far by the commit-
tee develop the fact that whllo the
seedsmen aro against tho gratuitous Jls-
tribution of turnip, cabbage, tomato and
other ordinary garden seed, they aro
not opposed to the sending out of rare j
and valuable sorts by. our agricultural I
department.

"I have been a suffer for 14 vears

The Morrison Sun savs: "l*>t us wait
with patience and maybe they will do
something. An unfortunate choice was
made for chairman."
The Initiative and Referendum will
bring out a debate when It eomes up !••
the committee of the whole. The Ok
lahoma demex'rats seemed to be at sea an
to what the "Sequoyah movemeny will
be on the subject. Delegate Sater. the
republican member from Payne coun-
ty. has Introduced a "recall" proposition
and as the sentiment of the convention
It to not let a republican have an In-
ning during the convention, the repub-
lican "re call" will no ooutit see the waste
basket.
Kveryone has studied out the meaning

Haskell thought he fixed Hughe* by nam-
ing a county after him, but Hughe* Is
not satisfied, and there Is n "nigger In

"I am opposed to Woman's Suffrage. '
remarked one if the returned delegate *
yesterelay, "for the reason that most
women aro unfit to vota because they
paint, powder, pad and wear false frixx'es
and for another reason that a nimher of
women at a Christmas gathering at home
informed me 1h«t my oratory before the
oonstltutlnnal convention sounded ridic-
ulous." An Oklahoma City woman over-
heard his remarks and she anawered him
in this language: "We women have Just
as good a right to vote If we do paint and
pad, as those buck negroes of Oklaho-
ma City or the democrat elelegate*. who
have betrayed their constituency."

T/iay not appreciably deteriorate the se-
cond year, the crop from that seed w:ll
show a marked fulling off in yield. It !s
for tiiis reason that some of the wisest
farmers and planters send regularly con
slderable distances for seed.
'l*he seed catalogues ulways carry a
number of pages of novelties and new
varieties which are described In an ex-
tremely attractive form. It Is well
enough to try these novelties tout it is
good advice ti) consider them as such j
and have tlie main crop to fall "hack I
upon from the standard or well-tried

An examination of many of the seeds
of common vegetable and forage reveals
the fact that an immense amount of
poor seed is sold to American farmers
and gardeners. Farmers as a rul* are
responsible for this condition, since, as
has been said, many of them buy the
cheapest seed in the market and trust
entirely to luck for it to produce the en-
tire crop. Such seed is dear at any
price, and is withal one of thri principle
sources of the hosts of bail weeds which
are to be seen upon many farms.
For the last few years, however,
there has been a constantly increasing
outcry against the seed a sold by tinscru-
pulous dealers and wlrh It a demand for
legislation. Congress and a few states
have passed laws regulating tho trade
in seeds. The secretary of agriculture
under an act of congress has authority
which they recklessly hurled at each
o'her t*ie figures representing their re-
spective salaries. Considering the num-
ber and slse of the figures, it Is re-
' markable that no more harm whs done.
