HASKELL APPROVES PLAN OF
DAUGHTER TO EARN LIVING
Governor of Oklahoma Declares That He Has Never
Attempted to Choose the Course of His Children.
Miss Haskell Tells of Her Work.
Dacialon on the part of Miss Jane Has-
kell, the accomplished daughter of Okla-
homa's governor, to earn her own living.
MISS JANE HASKELL
Who says aha will either teach In a kln-
riergartln or go on the Lyceum platform.
will meet with the approval of her fath-
er. Governor C. N. Haskell says so him-
self. When told of a dispatch from Cin-
cinnati. where Miss Haskell has been a
student for the last two years In a school
of expression, saying that she proposed
to either teach In a kindergarten or go
on the Lyceum platform, Governor Has
kell said;
"I have never attempted to dictate or
choose the courses that my children shall
follo.v In life, but I am certain that they
will bo a credit to themselves and to
their parents. I approve fully of the
course that has been followed by my
daughter In Cincinnati, although she did
not ask my advice or tell me anything
about It."
According to the dispatch from Cincln
nati Miss Haskell made her debut Wed-
nesday night under the auspices of the
school of expression, appearing as Peg
gy Hesslerlgg in Plnero's "The School-
mistress." Sho derires to go on the Lj
ceuin platform as soon as the way opens,
but says she will teach in kindergarten
if there is no opening for her as an
tertainer.
Speaking of her Intention to Join ti#
ranks of self-supporting women, she
said:
"And why should I not make a living
for myself," said the governor's daugl
ter In an interview this evening. "This
idea of women staying Indoors, away
from where things are really going on,
dcos'nt suit me. I expect I have lived In
tho midst of affairs too long to settle
down to doing nothing for myself. T don't
want you to think tluit I am one of these
foolish suffragettes, because I don't think
woman has any business in the affairs of
this country. I am tired of hearing about
politics and do not want to have any
thing to do with the voting. T Avant Just
t< be plain woman, doing her work, and
if I ever get married, I'll be just a plain
housekeeper, working tor my husband's
interests and therefore for my own."

FRISCO ABSOLVED
FROM ALL BLAME
mulgated by Food Com
mission, Violators Sub-
ject to Arrest Today.
The law governing the sale of fruits by
street venders and open-stand merchants,
promulgated by the state pure food com-
mission is effective today. The law was
passed November 1, and provides 'that
no persons or persons engaged in the
peddling of fruits, vegetables or other
perishahlo food products shall be per-
mitted openly to display any of the afore
said products on any wagon, hack, bug
gy or on any other vehicle used for
the transportation of said product unless
said fruit, vegetable or other perishable
product shall be encased in glass or
properly screened to afford complete pro-
tection from flies and dust."
Such fruits as bananas and oranges,
protected by thick peel, do not como un-
der this ban.
Active enforcement of the law will be-
gin today, and it Is said a crusade will
continue against venders and open-air
merchants who violate tho ruling. One
of tho f<K d Inspectors has been called
off the road to take charge of the cam-
paign in this city.
The ruling gives the same protection
against street venders as does the ruling
which prohibits merchants from making
open displays of fruits and vegetables.
The city health department will work In
conjunction with the state In enforcing
the law, as a protection to the mer-
chants.

CLOTHES QUESTION
i [
Who Is the best, dressed man? The
man with dressy clothes ,'ihe neat man,
the swagger man, the classy dresser, the
snappy man, or the dashing man? There
I Is rrn>m for sartorial argument here.
That Is. there would be room for ar-
I gumont, if a Grand avenue clothlei
Ivadn't decided it for his patrons. In his
j windows are several suits. The first is
(marked "Dressy—f.lo"; the second, "Neat
j $.10": the third, "Snappy—$20"; the
fourth, "Dashing-$18"; and the fifth,
"Classy $15." Which goes to show that
tho dashing and the classy dresser aro
a long ways from the front row.

Class and Commodity Ship-
ments in Less Than Car
Load Lots Affected Un-
der the Court's Ruling.
The new freight rate schedule of the
state corporation commission, affecting
rates between all points In Oklahoma,
goes into effect today. The new sched-
ule Is on class and commodity shipments
In less than carload lots. It comes as a
result of Judge Hook's St. T<ouis decision
enjoining the enionement of the old rates
and does not affect the. articles named in
lii> Injunction, auoh as coal* lumber and
similar commodities. This is the first
rate order issued by the commission since
the Hook decision.
The railroads are putting the new rates
In under protest, though they have not
I yet appealed to the supreme ctnirt, as
they have a right to do should they find
the rates objectionable.
W. V. Hardee, secretary of the okla-
homa Traffic association, has been busy
preparing* a tariff sheet showing the
rates from Oklahoma City to all other
towns in the state. The book will also
show comparative rates to those points
from Kansas City, St. Louis. Wichita and
Other cities which are competitive jobbing
points. It is one of the most complete
rate books ever gotten out in the city
and will enable salesmen to show every
customer the comparative freight rates,
l^or-al jobbers believe the new tariff will
prove highly beneficial.
The change Iri the Belle Isle street car
service Is proving unsatisfactory to
many patrons of the line, and petition* to
the Oklahoma Railway company were cir-
culated Wednesday asking that the old
service again be placed in operation.
Under tho change, the cars stop at
every other street and the petitions al-
lego that this Is detrimental to the in-
terests of the patrons. They say that
the service is no bette" than before, that
|In stormy weatner, part of the patrons
v 111 be forced to endure more hardships
In going to anil from cars, and that prop-
erty values on the streets that are not
ear5-tops will be decreased.
Tho petitions will be presented to the
officials of the company, and If the old
sendee is not re-established it Is rumored
that an appe«al will be made to the city
council, or to the corporation commission.
Petitions wero circulated Wednesday on
Ninth. Eleventh, Twent> sixth, Twenty-
elghtli, Thirtieth, Thirty-second and
Thirty-fourth streets. Among the slgn-
j ers aro E. r, Pulton, Dr. J. A. Ross, D.

Item Is better than before though mlsliaps

days of the new servlc They contend
that if tho plan has a fair trial It will

"As to the markets, thc Oklahoma City

favorably with tho markets at other
cities.
"Then. too. you must remember your

fancy, and with prospects that, it will
not be long before it is a strong com-
petitor to all principal live stock markets
