Tho flr*t pun of tho prohibition day afternoon. A feature of tho morn-
fight .waa fired Saturday hy tho In InK'* aoaaion waa tho uddreag of Dele-
troductlon of n constitutional pro- Riito Ledbetter, who opposed tho ailop-
vision by Dr. ltllby of Alva. providlnR tlon of n resolution, recoKnlzIng the
for the separato submission to tho federal constitution as paramount to
people of Oklahoma Territory of the that of tho state of Oklahoma. Mr.
I.adbetter denounced tho press, hut re-
iterated his view that stitto sovere-
iKnty should ho strictly observed.
Delegate Wyatt offered a memorial
submitted hy tho women's clubs of
Shaivneo In reference to child labor,
which was referred to the committee
on labor. A provision for tho con-
stitution conforming to tho request
of the memorial was offered later on
in the proceedings.
Delegate ftoso of niackwell offered
hy request, a petition from a commit-
tee of Hebrew citizens asking tho eli-
mination of certain religious matters
in the constitution, and that no pro-
vision be enacted that would be ob-
jectionable to any religions sect. It
was referred to the preamble commit-
tee.
Two ordinances providing for a form
to be used In the preamble of tho con-
stitution, was introduced by Korue-
gay of Vlnlta, and Caudill of Hobart,
both of which went to the preamble
committee.
The most Important provision to be
submitted to the convention to bo cm-
21-yenr prohibition arrangement, which
the enabling act requires for Indian
Territory nnd the unallotted Indian
reservations In Oklahoma.
This closely followed tho presenta-
tion by Delegate Hnskell of the prohi-
bition resolution passed by tho Meth-
odist conference at Tulsa. Both wore
of course referred to the committee on
liquor nnd traffic.
Another provision which will enuso
almost as great a fight was the one
hy Weaver of Ada, forbidding tho sale
of the Oklahoma school lands. As
the Bchool land lessees have a strong
lobby hero working to securo the sale
of the school lands, coupled with the
further fact that the lessees are so
strong In many districts that tho dele-
gates would Imperial their political fu-
ture by opposing them. It Is evident
that this provision will precipitate a
“scrap" of no small dimensions.
Weaver Is nlso responsible for u pro-
vision preventing tho Inter-marriage
of tho white nnd negro races and an-
other for Inheritance tax.

Laws Will Protect Present Lawyers
and Physicians
GUTHRIE: In response to frequent
inquiries of (ho convention it is an-
nounced that professional conditions of
both Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will be provided for In the constitu-
tion's schedule. This applies to doc-
tors and attorneys particularly, whose
legal status will remain as at present,
or until such time as the new stato
may legislate otherwise. Tho enab-
ling act provides the present Oklaho-
ma Territorial laws are to bo adopted
until other provisions are made.
The schedule Is also supposed to
carry a list of the property, public
buildings, etc., the territories are to
deliver to the new state; also in a
more limited sense the' proceeding
by which personal property of the
individual Is exempt from taxation.
Between 75.000 and 100.000 bushels
of corn are piled and cribbed along
the depot at Bliss awaiting shipment.
The same old story prevails, "short-
age of cars.”
Want a Railway Commission.
GUTHRIE; The grain dealers of
Oklahoma will have a very important
session at El Reno on December 9.
for the purposo cf considering mat-
ters In connection with the establish-
ment of a railroad commission by the
constitutional convention. The course
to be pursued will be outlined at the
meeting, and referred to tho railroad
committee of the convention. John
W. Dickson of Hobart, a prominent
grain man of that city. Is expected
to arrive in Guthrie tn the near future
to present the matter before tha rail-
road committee.
John Stink Apparently Died Once and
Came to Life Again.
PAWHUSKA: John Stink, the
"Evil Spirit” of the Osage's, Is 111 at
Pawhuska. Ten years ago this Indian,
who is now about 65 years old, after a
short illness passed into a stato of un-
consciousness, was pronounced dead
and was burled by the tribe with due
pomp and ceremony.
A few hours after burial Stink came
to life and caused consternation by
reappearing among tho mourners.
Since then he lias been shunned by
all members of the Osage tribe. Stink
sleeps on the sidewalks at Pawhuska,
refusing shelter. He is a full blood
Osage, speaks no English anil is al-
lowed 50 cents a day by his guardian
for living expenses, and if given a dol-
lar he will sit down and eat that
amount of food at a time.
Chickasha was the first town in
Indian Territory to pave its streets
under the provisions of the Curtis
law.
Played a No-Score Game.
OKLAHOMA CITY: Before one of
the largest crowds of football enthu-
siasts which ever witnessed a football
game on an Oklahoma gridiron the
fast teams of the Washburn college
and Oklahoma university battled for
an hour here Thanksgiving day with
the game finally resulting in a score
of 0 to 0. The game was played on a
field of mud which made it utterly im-
possible for either side to execute
their plays with any degree ot cer-
tainty. i
Members of Two Nations Favor Dis-
posal of Segregated Lands.
SOUTH McALESTER: The Choc-
taw ami Chickasaw nations have an-
nounced themselves as unalterably op-
posed to anything but the outright
sale of the segregated coal and as-
phalt lands and will press the disposi-
tion of their property through their
attorneys. This has always been the
Indian idea as to how the lands
should be disposed of.
In case of the disposal of the lands
outr'ght the money received from
them would be invested immediate-
ly in Indian education where it could
1o the most good for the tribesmen.
It has been the dream of the high
Choctaw officials for years to have
the largest funds for schools of any
nation on earth and the sale of the
lands for anything like their value
will effect this result.
It is said that fully $1,000,000 Is
ready to be used in influencing the
boundary lines of the new counties In
Indian Territory.
City Marshal Ousted.
PRYOR CREEK: City Marshal E.
A. Brown has been ousted from of-
fice by the city council of Pryor Creek
and John R. Reeves has been appoint-
ed in his place. There were three
separate charges brought against
Brown, signed by the mayor, recorder
and every member of the city council.
The charges were failure to collect
delinquent taxes, failure to keep
ditches nnd sowers open, running a
dray without license. The first and
third charges wore sustained and
Brown turned over his star.
Revolt Anainst Amalgamation With
Oklahoma Assrciation.
Although tho official program is
out for tho first joint convention of
the Indian Territory Educational as-
socialion and the Oklahoma Terri-
torial Teachers’ association, to he held
at Shawnee on December 26-28, a re-
volt has been inaugurated among the
Indian Territory teachers, and the
two members of the executive com-
mittee in that territory who planned
the joint meeting have been removed
from office.
There is a strong possibility that a
split will occur in that territory
among the teachers similar to that
which divorced the Federation of
Women's Clubs of the two territories.
In each instance a small Indian Ter-
ritory organization is maintained,
while a larger association embraces
in its membership all of Oklahoma
and a good part of Indian Territory.
A similar split also put asunder the
Anti-kicrsethief association of the two
territories, with similar results.
HAVANA: By specific authority of
President Roosevelt, acting on the rec-
ommendation of Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon, Governor
Magoon at noon Monday formally de-
clared vacant the seats of all senators

Let it be national. All producers are
brethren.
Scientific marketing must go along
with scientific farming.
The speculator is forming his rings
of steel while the honest farmer is
working in the field.
The speculator is a lily. He toils
not neither does he spin. He leans
while the honest man labors.
Tho spcculalion in farm products
will be stopped only when the pro-
ducers themselves stop it by a com-
bination of forces, by a complete un-
derstanding, if you please.
The mortgage keeps old Santa Claus
from the homes of many thousands of
our people. What an enemy the mort-
gage is to the children!
What a great prosperity we will
have when the producers learn to not
compete with each other in the sale
of their products. A perfect under-
standing will do the work.
Of course all the farm implements
are safely housed for the winter. They
will be in shape for the next crop.
Who is the farmer anyhow? Is he a
factor or simply a nonentity? Well,
ho is both. He is an important factor
when it comes to working fourteen
hours a day to produce enough to
mako the enormous commercial ac-
tivity of this country possible; but he
is a nonentity when it comes to pro-
tecting himself in an equitable share
of the rewards.

| While we are all on tho main track
| aud all pulling for the same shore, let
us stay there. The siding called poli-
tics is a very dangerous one. It has
hurt just a little bit in some quarters
already, but no serious damage has
I been done. The main track of con-
j trolled markets is the only safe and
sane one. ,

An understanding between the pro-
ducers of the Nation will be invincible
and the march of progress will go on.
Government commissions some-
times do good things and work out
excellent results. A government com-
mission of seven farmers, with expen-
ses paid, clerks and stenographers
supplied and the power to summon,
enforce attendance and testimony of
witness and all the authority the writ
to bring books and papers can give,
with ample time, might ascertain if
gambling in futures really does affect
the price of spot cotton.
A financial system under which a
man will be $20,000,000 poorer one day
than he was the day before simply be-
cause of stock exchange fluctuations,
is rotten and must tumble down or its
very rottenness some day, carrying
the baloon millionaires with it. Them
would be heavy clouds for a day, but
the sun would still be shining.
If it is forgotten or neglected to
paint the roosts with some good in-
secticide, the mites and lice will not
forget to come in full force.
