| For once, at least, Judge Orr of
I the News, who holds the contract
j to do the county printing for Jack-'
j son county this year, has lieen
[caught red-handed stealing from
the county, and that too with the
knowledge of the county rommis-
sioners. who allowed his' bill and
passed it for voucher after the ac-
count had been protested, and they
| had been fully informed that the
claim was fraudulent. When the
' printers of the county put in their
bids this year they were furnished
a schedule to conform to, and the
paper stock which was to enter in-
to each item Mas fully specified
and described. The contract spec-
ified "that if paper other than
.3.25 p. ml that named were substituted, it
! must be of equal grade and price."
J For letter heads and envelopes
Overland Bond was named, a pa-
per costing 13 1-2 cents a pound,
and sold by the VVestern Newspa-
per Union at Oklahoma City.
Last month Judge Orrprinted jobs
of envelopes for the district clerk
and assessor, and letter heads and
envelopes for the county judge.
In 110 case did he use the paper
called for' in the schedule, but
substituted a cheap, 6 3-4 wood
fibre envelope costing between 73
and 83 cents a thousand, when
Overland bond envelopes cost
$1.60 a thousand. In the case of
the assessor, who received No. 10
envelopes, the substituted article
cost about $1.23, when the envel-
ope called for by schedule costs
$2.60 a thousand. When Judge
Orr came in with his subterfuge
for a bid and offered to do the j
work for "10 per cent less than j
the lowest bidder on any and all
items," every printer in the coun-
ty knew he could not fill his con-
tract without losing money: and
they also knew that he intended to
substitute poor stock for good,
and by "fudging" on the connty
and by imposing on the commis-
sioners hoped to "break even."
The worst feature of the whole J
matter is that the commissioners
allowed his bill, with full know-
ledge that he was not complying
with his contract.

tlers of (he Rig Pasture needed
more time on their payments, it
was Scott who got it for them.
When several army jiosts were to
be abandoned ami others strength-
ened, it was Scott who looked *
nf(er Ft Sill's interest. When
the "pork barrel" was to be tap-
ped, and many congressman show-
ed a disposition to he hoggish, it
was Scolt who saw to it that South-
wesf Oklahoma was not cheated
•tut of her patrimony. When' his
district wanted some of the irriga-
tion fund, iind^citizens of Kiowfc,
Comanche, Jackson mid other
counties wanted the Lugert 'and

Scott who compelled attention, ami
smoothed the way for actual ac-

SCOTT HAS MADE GOOD.
Candidates for county commis-
sioner are springing up in each
district, and out of the names pre-
sented.it ought to be possible to
elect three good, straightforward,
honest, reliable men: of keen busi-
ness acumen and sound judgment;
men who realize the responsibility
resting upon them, and who will
administer the business of the
county with the same care, caution
and prudence they would demand
i n the conduct of their own private
[affairs. The Times believes tlmt
the post of county commissioner is
the most important in the county,
and if more care were taken in the
selection of men for this office
there would be a decided change
for the better in the conduct
county affairs. And this is oi e
year, unless we mistake not, when
the people are going to deliberate
long and well on the character of
the men they select for this high
and responsible post.
The county commissioners have
given orders that the court house
doors be kept locked on Sunday
[except the east door, that kids
and irresponsibles be barred; and
that no one be admitted to the
dome but visitors and persons of
known responsibility. Merely an-
other case of locking the staMe

order had been made a year or so

Jail Filling Up Again.
Last week it was the proud
boast of the county officers that
there was but one man in the
county jail—Frank Mobley—all
t he rest of the offenders having
served their terms and paid their
fines. That condition did not
continue, however, and within the
past few days the distinguished
Mr. Mobley has been provided
with an assortment of company
which will do much to cheer his
lonely hours and make glad the
heart of the jailor, who was about
to lose his job for lack of anything
to jail. And there's more to fol-
low.

when I lived in Beaumont, Texas,
and it was severe. The kidney se-
cretions were scanty and distress-
ing in passage. I tried many
remedies but nothing seemed to
give me any good. I became
nervous, could not sleep well and
awoke in the morning feeling all
tired out. A friend who had been
cured of kidney trouble by Doan's
Kidney Pills after doctors had
given him up, told me of his
wonderful cure and I thought thatl

The council is considering cin-
der walks as a substitute for ce-
ment. for persons who are too
poor to afford the more permanent
walk. Cinder walks, when prop-
erly constructed, are as permanent
as any other walk and equally as
»ood. and as they will conform to
the requirements for free mail de-
livery. the council cannot make its
order too noon.
If the county commissioners per-
il we are any sort of a prophet
the uaudidacy of one Judge Man-
