The lower house of the Texas
legislature has passed the senate
bill forcing persons giving the
grounds for divorce proceedings
to remain single for three years,
and the other party to the suit
to remain single for one year.
There'll be a lot of old maids in
Texas.
The speaker of the house of
the Oklahoma legislature has in-
troduced a bill making an old
soldier exempt from taxation to
the amount of one thousand dol-
lars. Wonder what kind of a
scheme the speaker has under
his hat. Why should the old sol-
dier be permitted to shirk the
burdens of the new country? It
is not time to heap other favors
upon them, especially it our new
country where every man should
get to the center at tax time.
. There is considerable agitation
going on, looking toward the re-
peal of that portion of the oil in
spection law compelling the re-
tailer to tag the oil sold. This
agitation should be kept up until
it brings forth the object desired
as it means nothing to the con-
sumer. The wholesaler tags the
oil to the retailer, who, monkey-
like, tags it out to the consumer,
not knowing anything about the
oil further than the wholesaler
tag tells him. By all means let
it be repealed.
By the injection of the prohi-
bitory amendment into the state-
hood bill, {we have all become
wards of the general govern-
ment, the whiteman is made the
Indian's equal. All branded as
drunkards, unable to withstand
the debauche if liquor is sold in
the new state. We would favor a
constitutional amendment prohi-
ti ng sale of liquor if adopted by
a convention composed of repre-
sentative men from the proposed
new state, but do not like this
paternalism. Oklahoma, today,
stands out as the most pushing,
It seeem that Washita county
is not the only spot where a graft
in the printing business has been
worked. It appears that one has
been worked in connection with
the legislative printing, but the
speaker has determined to stop
it It would have been stopped
in this county had Commissioner
Bills done as he promised.
John M. Young, of Lawton,
grand chancellor, Grand Ledge,
Knight of Pythias, has recently
formed six districts for Ohlaho-
ma for the purpose of holding
distvict meetings. Under this
arrangement the Cordell lodge is
in the 5th district with Weather-
ford, Thomas, Okeene, Watonga,
Homestead, Geary, Bridgesport,
Elk City, Texola, Foss, Taloga
and Custer City. The district
meeting will be held at Weather-
ford, April 3, in charge of Dis-
trict Deputy C. E. Davis.
A Townsman Honored.
On January 28th, ult„ Dr. Vere
V. Hunt, of thia city, was ap-
pointed national chairman for the
relief committee of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans
by commander-in-chief, N. R,
Tisdal, of Rusk, Texas. Ths
members of the committee ex-
clusive of the chairman are; T.T.

Dr. Hunt is the first natural-
ized citizen to hold a notional < *-
tice in the organization. The 1
bors of the committee have be
fruitful in the erection ofnui

ate veterans.

The better element are strug-

the fight grows interesting. The
town has been in the hands of the
tough element and the democrat
party, its morals are bad, its fi-
nance gone, and its indebtedness
heavy, and the time is certainly
ripe for a change. A citizens
ticket has been nominated on a
platform of "high morals and
low salaries" with a prospect of
winning out, that is if they don't
split so wide that the tough ele-
ment can pass through to victory.
Farmers bo Careful.
Farmers who contemplate sow
ing alfalfa this spring should be
very careful in buying their seed.
Two years ago some alfalfa seed
containing Russian thistle seed,
was sold here and a little of
this weed goes a great ways. At
best the soil is foul enough, with-
out paying at the rate of $9.00 a
bushel for this noxious pest. It
