Death of Mr. William Tate.
Mr. Wm. Tate, father of the
Tate brothers and Mrs. A. D.
Acers, died at his home in Ed-
mond, Okla., on Friday, Nov.
I 24, 1911, aged 84 years. After
Masonic services at Edmond, the
lx)dy was brought to Norman on
Monday, where it was met by a
delegation of Norman A. F. & A.
M. and taken to the I. O. O. F.
! cemetery where it was interred
; in the Tate burial lot with Ma-
! sonic ceremonies in the presence
] of a large assemblage, notwith-
! standing the inclement weather.
Mr. Tate was a native of Ire-
j land, and a rugged, energetic
and honest gentleman, highly re-
| spected and esteemed for his
j many excellent qualities. He
J formerly resided in Norman and
' had many friends here amoi g
I the old timers. He raised a
large family, imbuing them with
his own energy and earnestness,
and all have been a credit to the
community in which they live.
All the sons were here to pay
their last sad respect to the
[father, except B. S., whose far-
| away residence in Portland pre-
cluded his attendance.
Get Ready—Free Delivery.
Steps are being taken by Post-
| master Burke, endorsed by May-
or Sharp and city aouncil, to
have a re-examination of Nor-
man for free city delivery. The

office, and has been for several

The state board of equalization
met Saturday and decided to is-
sue $2,500,000 in state bonds to
take up Oklahoma's warrants;
refund her debt. That debt
amounts now to something like
$3,500,000, but it is thought part
of it can b^ taken care of with
this year's taxes. When it is re-
membered that the Republican
administration of the TERRITO-
RY of Oklahoma turned over
nearly 11,000.000 to the ST ATI
of Oklahoma, it can easily ba
seen how grossly extravagant
the Democratic administration
ha s been, viz: In a little over
three years they used up that
$1,000,000 and expended $3,500,-
000 more; in all wastiner $4,500,-
000 in addition to the tremendous
revenue they got in taxes. And,
in addition to this, it is now be-
lieved many of the state warrants
issued prior to Jan. 1, 1911, are
forged, and others have been is-
sued twice and three times for
the same supplies. Truly, it is a
pretty bunch of 'grafters who
nave been managing Oklahoma's
affairs since Statehood.
