FRIEND OR ENEMY
OKLAHOMA VOTERS MUST
CIDE BETWEEN THEM
MAKE A BLUNDER TO ELECT MATHEWS
Republican Senators for Joint State-
hood—Democratic Senators for
Separate Statehood—McGuire Is
Backed by a United Party
An Arkansas man named Jones
once declared that his name was
Smith. "There certainly must be
something wrong with yon," said his
neighbor. "Everybody knows that
your name Is Jones, aud here you are
trying to make them believe it Is
Smith. What do you mean by it?"
"Well," replied the Arkansayer,
"the Smiths are getting popular as
thunder these days, and I nevor did
think much of the Jones family."
The story fits Frank Mathowa. He
knows that the Democratic party na-
tionally belongs to the Jones, family,
and is tooth and toe nail for separate
statehood. He would like to change
his name in order to get in touch
■with the Republican Smiths who fa-
vor immediate joint statehood. He
even tells his audience that unless he
is elected the Smith family might as
well put out the fire, call the hounds
and move on to the next bend in the
creek. He ridicules the idea that
Hird McGuire, backed by his party na-
tionally and territorially in his fig'nt
for joint statehood, will be able to do
anything in Washington, where the
Democratic party is demanding two
states of Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory, repudiated a joint statehood
declaration proposed for the nat onal
platform by Roy Stafford at St.
Louis.
Just to show how Republican sena-
tors are for joint statehood and how
Democratic senators are oppospd to
it, the following extracts are taken
from letters received lately by B. S.
Karnes at Ponca City:

The only inimical and

Paris Gibson, Montana: "I am in

A. 0. Bacon, Georgia: "My pref-

not found to be practicable."

The Hamilton bill is the issue, and
to achieve it is the imperative duty
of the voters at the coming election
to vote for the candidate for delegate

that supports it.

sense demands that they stand, l\it

friends of the Hamilton bill.

Country Justice's Two Good Reasons
for Decision.
I well remember one case before
a justice in which I acted as respond-
ent's counsel in a criminal action and
in which an older and well-known at-
torney was my opponent. As I
thought then, and as I know now, the
law and the e*<dence was well in fa- j
vor of my client, and at the close of
the arguments I looked with great con- j
fidence for a prompt acquittal. Judge j
of my astonishment when my unfortu- j
nate client was found guilty and sen- j
tenced to thirty days in jail. I prompt-
ly entered an appeal and furnished
sureties to prosecute the same. Be-
fore I left the court room the justice
took occasion to take me aside and
say; "Young man, I kinder thought
ye ware right, but I knowed Judge

underground system which appears to
read thoughts as well as detect de-
signs. At the present time tho secret
service of both Russia and Japan is
naturally most active, and it must
not be forgotten tliut Japan, too, has
made use of women to ferret out the
Intentions of the Russian government
regarding the present war. They are
not, as a rul\ however, Japanese
women, who ore singularly unfitted
for the delicat? task. To meet the
Russian spy on his or her own ground
the Japanese have, It is said, secured
the services of pome of tho cleverest
women in Europe, many of thom
French women, and often their visible
means of support is acting. The Japa-
nese police and military system has, of
course, its secret service; but It is
not nearly so ubiquitous as is the so-
called third section of the Russian
police. Yet during the last few years
there has little of importance trans-
pired in Europe affecting the situa-
tion in the far East ot which the Jap-
anese foreign office has long been ig-
norant.
During the ear'v part of last winter,
when the relations between Russia
and Japan • were becoming more
strained with each successivo day, St.
Petersburg society discovered there
were several very beautiful Parlsi-
ennes ln the city. They were not only
beautiful, but charming, and most of
them fell in love with young officers
of rank. They had letters of intro-
duction and were warmly welcomed
in official circles. One night at a ball
given at one of tho legations one ot
the charming French women was pres-
ent. She was very friendly with the
colonel of a Russian regiment and sev-
eral times she Ineffectually attempted
to draw him into a conversation, the
burden of which was the length of
time he expected to be detained In
St. Petersburg, for it was a frequent
occurrence for a regiment to be sent
to the far East. At each attempt she
was interrupted by a dashing Russian
woman. On discovering the Identity
of the latter she knew her mission
was at an end. for she had been de-
tected by a clever Russian spy.
In Paris the nihilists meet unob-
structed by police; but their every
movement is reported to the "third
section" in St. Petersburg. A few
years ago a certain "Mile. Sense was

But lav up Memory's joyous store

From time to time ln the last five
decades Tennesseeans have been
stirred to a profound sense of inter-
est in tho state's mysterious malady,
"milk sickness," as its deadly reap-
pearance in certain sections of the
state has been followed by fatal re-
sults to human beings and to stock.
No one has ever discovered the cause
i,f the malady from which death re-
lieves the victim, after such physical
agony as almost deprives the human
species of the power of speech and
dumb brutes express their sufferings
by frenzied search for water to cool
the thirst which consumes them.
Once by a stream, they plunge or fall
Into It, and quickly drink themselves
to death.
The fatal sickness Is known to a
limited extent ln several sections of
the state, but exists principally near
Sparta, in White county. It is con-
tracted through drinking the milk of
cows that have eaten a certain weed,
known as the "milk-sick weed," which
looks somewhat like clover, and
grows thickly on the infected land.
But what constitutes the poison iu
the weed is no more determined to-
day than It was when first located by
the keen-witted, nature-wise mountain-
i «ers, who have been its chief victims.
It has boen ascribed at various times
to minerals, whose poison is absorbed
in the roots of the "mllksick" plant; to
a vapor from some fungous growth,
and to the action of the dew, produc-
ing, in connection with the life of tho
plant, a certain poisonous acid. But
all of these theories have failed unuer
tests applied by practical science. On
the largest infected section known to
exist in the limits of the state, 'Milk-
sick mountain," in White county, no
mineral whatsoever exists; cattle
which ate the "mllksick weed" after
tho dew had dried died in agony, just
as those which ate it when the dew
was fresh and sparkling, and the
strictest search failed to find any
fungous growth whatever.—Louisville
