COMMITTEE APPOINTED 8Y HA
MON TO CONSIDER DEFECTS
IN THE CONSTITUTION
mi HELP CORVENTIQN OUT OF HOLE
Gerrymander Considered a Species of
"Grand Larceny” Done Solely by
Democratic Delegates With
out Testimony or Facta
- or ' Statistics ’
i GUTHRIE: The committee of re
publicans appointed by Chairman Ha
moQ to consider President Murray’s
request that republicans point out de
fects in the gerrymander and constl
' tutlon refused flatly to accede to the
request and addressed the following
scathing letter to President Murray
of the constitutional convention
"Noticing In the public prints that
‘ you have made a call for reconvening
of the constitutional convention on
July 10 and that you have in that
call appointed a committee to re
celve testitmoriy facts and statistics
to disprove the fairness of the ap
portionment made by the convention
with the view to correcting errors If
any be found in said legislative ap-
portionment by the chairman of the
republican state committee and others
J L Hamon chairman of the repub-
lican state committee appointed the
undersigned to consider with him this
part of your call on behalf of the re-
‘ publicans
We cannot believe you are sincere
In this request It does not comport
with the past actions of yourself and
he majority of the convention Neith-
er do we agree that you have author-
ity to appoint any such committee
In all legislative bodies such power
rests with the body itself and no
such power has been' delegated to
you -
"You may be able to drive the de
k mocracy but when you go to the peo-
ple proposals should come in an au-
thoritative way You appointed an
- apportionment committee at the
opening of the convention and you
only appointed one republican - there-
on and this republican was ill and
unable to attend the meetings after
the committee organized and ’ you
knowing this neglected to appoint an-
other to represent the ‘ republican
party thus leaving our party unrep-
resented When republican members
protested against this unfair treat-
ment you said you were not consult-
ing republicans about democratic
politics
"This gerrymander was made In the
dark and without reference to popu-
lation No republican was consulted
about It When it came into conven-
tion republicans declared it a grand
larceny- a- disfranchisement of larg6
number of voters of the state that it
- would not get the sanction of the
( people and if accepted under pro-
test at the polls would not be ap-
proved by the president of the United
States You replied that the appor
'tionment was made to suit democrats
and not republicans and that the na
Jorlty would assume the responsibll-
Ity Now you ask for ‘testimony
Tacts and statistics’
“In thig an acknowledgment that
the work of making the legislative ap
portionment for the great proposed
state was made without ‘testimony
Tacts and statistics’ to base it on Dc
3-ou mean that none but partisan in
v terests are considered? Did you sit
five and one-half months with this
important trust confided to yon by
- ‘ithe people and then make this ap
portionment regardless of ’testimony
vtfacta and statistics’ which you know
''were easily obtainable?
"Then when this apportionment was
i completed - you and ail democratic
' delegates who took the stump de-
dared the constitution including th?
gerrymander the ‘best constitution
ever written "

For Hardening Drill
Hardening an ordinary drill In sul-
phurlc acid states the English Me-
chanic makes an edge that will cut
tempered' steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock The acid should be poured
into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth
of about one-eighth of an inch The
point of the drill is heated to a dull
cherry red and dipped in the acid to
that depth ' This makes the point
extremely bard while the remainder
remains soft If the point breaks re-
harden but with a little less acid In
the vessel
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired Btiffness it la usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness which not only destroys the
appearance but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes

A firm has bad all its offices papered
with old checks placed neatly edge

checks vary from $30000 to $1000
and the total for one room is $8000
000 As a gilt moulding runs around
the edges of each check-panel the
general effect is rather pleasing

Dear Sir: “
The following experience of an Illi-
nois man who went to Western Can-
ada six years ago is but one of the
thousands of -letters that could be re-
produced showing how prosperity fol-
lows the settler on the fertile lands of
Western Canada This letter was
written to the Chicago agent of the
Government of the Dominion of Can-
ada and Is dated at Evarta Alberta
April 8th 1907:
"It Is six years the 5th of this month
since I and family landed in Red Deer
family sick and only $75 In my pocket
Bought a $12 lot built a 12x14 shack
and went to- work as a carpenter
Next May sold for $400 (bad added
16x18 building to shack) Purchased
two lots at $70 each and built a 23x28
two story building and sold for $950
Filed on a quarter section 33 miles
N W of Red Deer and have spent
three years on -it and am well pleased
Quarter all fenced and cross fenced
wire and rail 2 Vi miles of fence
House 29x31 feet on stone foundation
Last year was my first attempt to
raise grain lVi acres of fall wheat
yield grand but was frosted August
2nd was cut August 16th and made
good pig feed Had 1V4 acres fall rye
that I think could not be beat A
farmer from Dakota cut It fqr me he
said he never saw such heavy grain
anywhere Straw was 7 feet' high I
had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall
breaking that did not do so well yet
it ripened and gave me all the feed I
need for stock and seed for this
spring I did not have grain threshed
so can’t give yield but the wheat
would have gone at least 25 bu to the
acre Have a log stable 31x35 feet
broad roof and two smaller buildings
for pigs and chickens i

One Saturday evening found me with-
out any supper or a cent to get it with
A friend surmising my situation gave
me a dollar which was thankfully ac-
cepted and later paid back Wife and
I are thankful we came here We
were living near Mt Vernon’ Ills as
perhaps you remember visiting me
there and getting me headed for the
Canadian Northwest and a happy day
it has proved for-’ me I ' have not

Sr C F 8immons San Antonio Texas: '
Dear Sir— Yours at band I would ltks to havo called at the o&os
when I cams back but it was Sunday and I took the train for homo ‘ I
eras on your 95000-acra ranch three days I found it much better than I
expected I am satisfied in my own mind that with proper wind breaks as
ws have in this country oranges lemons apricots figs sum end almonds
can b successfully grown there
I am sura that south of San Antomo is the natural horns of the English
cralnat —
Tho soil on your lend is much better for fruit raising than it la ia
this eountty because you have a good red clay aubeoil while in Southern Cali
fomia wa nave gravel and rock that does not hold moisture
We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work
the orchards but 1 don’t think this would be neceeaary on your land in South
Texas at least not so much of it because the red clay will hold moisture an
will give the fruit a better flavor -
Orange orchard in this country era worth from $500 to $1000 and web
Buta from $200 to $500 per acre
I think south of Ban Antonio to the Gulf Is a better country than from
Los Angeles Cal to San Diego Cal because the soil ia better there is more
water end the climate is just as good so far as I could see and hear by talk
tng to old settlers and the land la so cheap that every workingman should
have a home ‘
I am sura that in the near future South Tessa will be a proeperoaa
fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California ana
the man who will lost money in South Texae ia tha man that does not get
in en this cheap land of youre before it is all gone A man that has lived
in Southern California aa long as I have can see the future of South Texas

t f f t 1 X 4 V
Whenever’ a sore refuses to' heal it Is because' the blood is not pare and
healthy as it should be but is infected with poisonous germs or some old -blood
taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation Those most m
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid- -die
life ' The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline and the poisonous germs wuich have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system or some hereditary taint J
which has hitherto been held in check now force an outlet on the face arms
legs or other part of the body The place grows red and angry festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
nicer fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn non-healing sore1
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion the same germ -producing cancerous ulcers is bock of every
old sore and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one
