OKLAHOMA'S BATTLER
WILL BURN OIL
Secretary Meyer Decides to Make
New War Dogs' Exclusive
Types
New York. May 4.—Fuel ships
designed to carry fuel oil are to
begin taking the place of colliers
in the United States navy. Secre-
tary Meyer's decision to make the
two new battleships, the Oklaho-
ma ami Nevada, exclusively oil
burning ships, together with the
probability that battleships de-
signed from now on will be oil
burners, has practically determin-
ed the house committee on naval
affairs to provide now for the
construction of two fuel ships to
carry oil for the new vessels.
It is almost certain that the
naval appropriation bill, when re-
ported from the house will eon-
tain authority for the two fuel
ships.
Great interest centers in the de-
sign of this new type of vessel.
Recognition of the advantages of
oil'tis a fuel has been so general
in the naval service that the most
practical means of having oil fuel
ready for use is already under ser-
ious discussion.
Heretofore ships carrying fuel
for the navy have been colliers,
some of which are filled with tem-
porary arrangements for oil stor-
age. The new type of "fuel
ships" as they are to he called in

Bridge is Out
The heavy rains of the past

have been of daily occurrence,
and on last Saturday night the
rain fell in torrents the entire
night, and when the morning had
dawned it was found that the
Arkansas river was out all over
the low bottoms on the Thrasher
and Cope farms and that two
spans of the wagon bridge had
been taken away bv the high wat
er and the drift wood. The fam-
ilies living along the low lands
were taken out of their houses in'
boats and the stock driven to
places of safety. The river did
not rise very fast and was within

The Kind You Hivi Always Bought

Signature of
Dr. Edward T. Devine of the
Survey sees in the self sacrifice
by the men of the Titanic for th-
women and children a fine prom
ise of this civilization. I'sing that
terribly sublime incident, he says
to those who tell us that philan-
thropy and the improvement of
social conditions are enervating
to the race—
'"It may be that you are right—
that if we protect our women and
children, if we protect the weak-
er among us. we shall go down to
defeat and death. It so, we go
down. A society which can sur-
vive only by crushing the weak
is not worth saving.
"We do not expect to go
down: we think you are wrong.
But whether we survive or perish,
we propose that the strong shall
bear the burdens of the weak."
In New York City Saturday
there was a big parade of women
and men in behalf of woman suf-
frage. One of its banners read.
"We want the vote for protect-
ion.
With or without women's* votes,
"protection" is coining. The in-
dividual protection has never
been wanting. But all this mod-
ern "insurgency," progressivism
and social unrest are scarcely any
thing more than society's eonsid
eration for women and children.
The social sins that weigh on us
are those that oppress women anil
children. It may be better to say
that the social inequities weigh or.
us because they all. indirectly, if
not directly, affeet women and
children.
The wages question, child lab-
or. women's underpay, tenement
evils, white slavery—all things
that are occupying our statesmen
and social workers today—denote
the thought. "Women and child
ren first."
The woman suffragists are de
maudiiig the ballot today to help
carry through the program which
the strong men of the raee are al I
ready determined to carry
i through^-K. ('. Star.

Two Republican Conventions in
Arkansas
Little Rock. Ark., May 7.—Two '
republican state conventions, one I
attended by supporters of Presi-1
dent Taft and the other by adher-
ents of Colonel Roosevelt met here
Tuesday. Each claimed for itself
regularity. Each elected four
delegates at large from Arkansas
and instructed them to east their j
votes in the national convention
according to the sentiment of the
delegates attending each conven-
tion. Little direct reference was
made in any way by either con-
vention to the other.
Separate conventions both state
and two congressional were held
The fifth and seventh congres
i sional districts each conducted
I different conventions Monday.
There remain to be elected in
Arkansas ten delegates, as follows:
First district. May 18; second.
May 16; third. May 11; fourth.
May lf>; sixth. May 18.
It is probable that all the re-
maining Arkansas delegates will
be chosen in separate conventions,
making every delegate from this
state face a contest in the national
convention.

conventions in South Carolina did

that the forces supporting Ira B.
Jones for governor against Gover-
nor Cole L. Blease would control
the state convention by a two-
thirds vote. The latest returns
show:

ted c:t.
For the presidential preference
there was a much less general ex-
pression. Only five counties in-
structed their delegates, all these
being for Wilson. An estimate by
the Columbia States shows prefer-
ence delegates were elected as fol-
lows:
Wilson 100; I nderwood 8; non-
committal or unknown 22fi.
