ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES
HAND IN BALLOT INJUNCTION
Believing the action in Woodward
county a week ago unwarranted and
saying that the temporary injunction
issued by C B King county judge of
Woodward county “should never have
been granted” George F Short at-
torney general of Oklahoma Satur-
day took a hand to end the matter and
secure the printing of Judge M C
Garber’s name upon the ballot in
November
A statement was given to the press
after he had returned to Oklahoma
City and thoroughly examined copies
of the temporary injunction issued
by King in the absence of a district
judge
Charles Swindall a candidate de-
feated by Judge Garber made the ap-
plication for the court order
The statement from Short says:
“I have examined the record and
the petition of Swindall upon which
a temporary injunction was granted
by the county judge of Woodward
county restraining the election board
from printing Judge M C Garber’s
name upon the ballot as republican
candidate for congress of the Eighth
congressional district of Oklahoma
“In my opinion the injunction should
not have been granted and this office
as well as Judge Garber’s attorneys
will take prompt action seeking to
dissolve the temporary restraining
order In the event of our success
the election board will order Judge
Garber's name to be printed on the
ballot as republican candidate for con-
gress of the Eighth congressional dis-
trict of Oklahoma
“We are today seeking to ascertain
the earliest day on which the district
judge of Woodward county can hear
our application for dissolution of the
order granted by the county judge and
as soon as the district judge can hear
us we will appear before him
"In my judgment there can be no
question but that Judge Garber’s
name will appear as candidate of the
republican party for congressman
from the Eighth congressional dis-
trict” The district judge before whom the
hearing will be held in which the

Enid Okla Oct 11 11:08 a m —
The effort of Charles Swindall de-
feated candidate for the republican
nomination for congress to prevent
the name of Judge M C Garber from
appearing upon the ballot as the re-
publican candidate for congress from
the Eithth congressional district has
failed
Mr Swindall filed a suit in the dis-
trict court of Woodward county and
in the absence of the District Judge
fioni the county got a temporary in-
junction from the county judge of his
county restricting the state election
board from placing the name of
Judge Garber on the official ballot
This case was heard at Woodward
Tuesday Cct 10 before the District
Judge and resulted in a direct victory
for Judge Garber and the case was
dismissed The court in deciding the
case held that Mr Swindall had in
right whatever to maintain the ac-
tion and that the injunction jder
should never have been issued and
that the name of Judge Garber should
appear on the ballot as the republi-
can candidate
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Oklahoma City Oct 9 1922
To the Shipping Public of Oklahoma:
We have received telegraphic notice
from the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission that the complaint entitled
“Corporation Commission of Oklaho-
ma vs Aberdeen & Rockfish R It
Co et al” Docket No13535 will be
heard in Oklahoma City beginning
November 1 This is somewhat less
than the customary notice and the
time for preparation is short
This case involves the rates on all
classes and commodities except grain
grain products seeds hay and straw
coal lumber and forest products ce-
(nient brick sand gravel and cruslul
j stone cottonseed and its products'
petroleum and its products livestock
and cotton It includes all territories
of origin and destination east of the
Rocky Mountains and contemplates a
general leveling up of the rate struc-
ture in the southwest An effort will
be made to secure uniform rates des-
criptions minimum weights territor-

ial groupings etc
This is probably the largest case
involving southwestern rates that has
been before the Interstate Commerce
Commission and several weeks will
likely be consumed in taking the tes-
timony Shippers of all the commo-
dities involved should be present or
represented through their associa-
tions or by special committees After
the first day or two an estimate will
be obtained of the time required to
complete the hearing and the day
particular commodities will be dis-
cussed probabljr can be determined
All shippers should be represented
however on the opening day of the
hearing which will probably be held
in the United States court rooms in
the Federal Building (Post Office)
before a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission beginning at
ten o’clock a m November 1 1922
As it is impossible to reach all of
the interested shippers in the state of
newspapers we must expect the ship-
pers to be on the lookout for any
ewsp&per reports which may change
the date or otherwise effect the pro-
gram as it is outlined
Yours very truly

HOW ABOUT OUR NAVY
Has the United States government
been duped and tricked into commit-
ting an act of folly?
Our government was prompt in the
disbanding of its great army and the
scrapping of its navy This was in
accordance with the provisions of the
Washington conference agreement
The army has vanished and but a
shell remains The navy is sadly de-
pleted and most of its teeth have been
irawn Munitions have disappeared
and the spirit of patriotism has
waned Our means of adequate de-
fense against sudden attack no longer
exists
Now comes the startling informa-
tion that Washington has abruptly
called a halt to the wrecking of our
fighting ships We are also told that
other nations have ignored their a-
scrapping of ships at all
At tha time of the Washington con-
ference many writers and others is-
sued warnings to the government a-
gainst placing implicit faith in the
pacific intentions of governments a-
cross the waters Present facts would
indicate that their warning was well
timed but quite in vain
GO EASY ON COAL
If a merchant or a banker or a
farmer or an editor becomes involved
in a row with his employees and has
to dose down his business for weeks
or months he accepts his loss as a
man should
The coal operators however are
not of this class They are saddling
their loss onto the public in the shape
of enormously increased prices of
coal and are profiteering in a consci-
enceless and shameless manner And
Washington appears unwilling to per-
form its duty thus the public becomes
the goat and pays its pound of flesh

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES
Are you always right in your judg-
ment? Many people think they are
— no person ever is
Over nineteen hundred years ago we
had on? perfect man whose judgment
was never at fault Because of His
perfection He died upon a cross His
agony shared by thieves Since then
the world has never known another
Why then should we humble mor-
tals that we be imagine that our
judgment is never at fault or that we
ire incapable of falling into error?
The next time we get into an ar-
gument and lose our temper and are
on the point of resorting to force
stop and think of the years that have
flown since the manger ennobled the
beginning and the blood-stained cross
witnessed the end of perfection in
mankind
It is burely possible thut even you
g I nay sometimes be in error

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

4000000 members according to a
count made by National Headquarters
in Washington recently in prepara-
tion for the annual Roll Call which is
to take place this year from Novem-
ber 11 to November 30 Plans for the
Roll Call and the campaign through
which it will be conducted will be
formed at the annual Red Cross Con-
vention which oponed October 8 ac-
cording to Starr Cadwailader man-
ager of the Southwestern Division in
a statement given out from the St
Louis office of that division
From reports sent in from the six
Red Cross divisions Cadwailader
said the national office believes that
a widespread revival of war-time en-
thusiasm for enrollment of members
will be manifested this year The
Roll Call which will begin Armistice
Day November 11 and close with
Thanksgiving Day November 30 will
be a notable one in that it will rally
every member everywhere
HEALTH NOTES
— From the State Board of Health:
For the next several months scar-
let fever supposed to be a germ dis-
ease will do its best to invade the
homes and schools in Oklahoma its
dangers unhappily and only too well
known The coming together of
heated rooms affords excellent op-
children in poorly veneilated and over-
portunities for the spread of the dis-
ease Secretions from the nose and moutfi
and excretions from the bowels kid-
neys and skin are carriers of the dis-
ease and all objects exposed to such
contamination should be ' burned or
thoroughly disinfected It is a dan-
gerous disease on account of its com
plications
Sore throat is a symptom in several
infectious diseases and it is much bet-
ter to call a doctor at once than to
waste time experimenting with home
remedies there is less danger of hav
ing an epidemic traced (p your door
Years ago we were most concerned
about persons in the “peeling” stage
of the disease We know now that it
i the discharges above mentioned
which contains the germs and that
the scales do not carry the infection
unless the skin has been soiled with
the discharges
The appearance of scarlet fever in
a home should be immediately fol-
lowed by a rigid quarentinc but take
no chances and be on the safe side
H there is any discharge from the
nose mouth or ears continue the
quarantine under the direction of a
competent physician
Especially remember that if no
physician is called in the head of the
family must at once report every
case of infectious disease to the
health officer
