TEDDY'S STRAIGHTFORWARD STATEMENT
If I am to be nominated as the presidential candi-
date of the republican party in June next it must be a
spontaneous act. It must represent the best thought of
tfe republican party and be the full and free expression
of that party's representatives assembled for the pur-
pose. If I find that the nomination can only be secured
through the use of federal natronasre and that the con-
vention will not be forme unless it Is to be dominated by
otticeholders then I do not want the nomination."
There has been a consolidation of two Miami newspa-
pers the Record and the Herald under the hyphenated
name of Record-Herald.
Just watch ttie Indian Territory republican executive
committee rally to the support of its fallen members in
the Central district. Nit!
Muskogee is the next thins to licing ablaze with oil
and stock companies are springing up with the rapidity
of Jona's poind. The report is that a company has also
been formed to Ixire a test well at Ft. Gibson.
ABOUT LEGAL AUTHORITIES.
In every court of justice one is impressed with the un-
limited reliance which is in nearly every case placed up-
on what is known as the 'authorities." Sometimes a
very small lawyer will briri"; a cart load of books into the
courtroom to read to the presiding judge. Now to the
lay mind t'.ese books are exceedingly mystifying. Some-
times a case comes up for trial in which the "authori-
ties"' are about evenly balanced as to number and rele-
vancy then comes the tug of war. The judge himself
hardly knows what to do and if one side or the other
cannot find a few more the case must be taken under ad-
visement indefinitely. Now what are legal authorities?
Not laws by any means. They are the findings of courts
(men) some of them reaching back into the dim past so
far as to make one dizzy to think how wise were our an-
cestors. Court decisions have always been swayed by the
dominant thought and the environment of the times in
which they were rendered. Men think and decide large-
ly with reference to personal interests. Many of the au-
thorities that the lawyers and the courts dwell upon in
these days were rendered at a time in the worlds history
when men were not. half so free a they are now. "The
king can do no wrong" is 3 sentiment that came to us
from the dark ages and fr:mi times when men were en-
thralled and under the control of tyrants. The nineteenth
century ought to le able to turn its face to the future
and cut loose from the moorings of ant iquity.
.Judge Gill's decision construing the Arkansas usury-
Mat ute. as applied to Indian Territory is one that has
bee.'! anticipated and discounted by the bar of tlie Terri-
tory.' Forfeiture laws are strictly construed always and
to carry the sanction of one statute by inference over to
another would be a dangerous precedent. The nub of the
decision is that usury under our present statute entails
forfeiture of only tlie excess interest not of the lawful
iii'erest or principal. South McAlester News.

lai'shal Darrough will hardly give his consent to make

'iv-:k'it Roosevelt is right in t his matter as he is in
li.ost others. Mr. Iiarrough makes an excellent I'nited

It looks like all the little republican clubs in the Indi-
an Territory are falling over one another to endorse Pli-
ny L. Soper. As Soper is the work of Cy Leland the po-
litical boss of Kansas and a machine man it does not
now look like Leland and his following will stand well
when the fog clears away. Besides this these clubs must
want to endorse something pretty had anyway. Blue-

Federal officeholders in the Territory who are thirsting
for a seat in the national convention ai;e in suspense for
Roosevelt meant what he said when the ban was placed
on officeholders becoming Roosevelt delegates. The presi-
dent rememljers a republican president who stocked the
convention with pie-eaters to the disgust of his party.
The election results showed public disapproval of the can-
didate so Roosevelt is as usual steering clear of prece-
dents. South McAlester Capital.
The initiat ion of a notorious gambler into the myster-
ies of chapter masonry has caused the withdrawal of the
charter from Mount Zion chapter 231 New York. This
has just been ordered by the grand chapterof Royal Arch
Masons in session at Albany. All the members of the
chapter who were personally interested in the episode
the man who proposed the gambler the committee that
was supposed to investigate his cJiaracter and tlieotlicers
who conferred the chapter degrees upon him will be
tried and probably expelled from the order. The effect
of the grand chapter's action is to leave the Mount Zion
chapter without a Masonic home but its innocent mem-
bers may affiliate with another chapter if they desire to
take part in Royal Arch work.
Judge Chas. A. Raymond of the Western district is
considered a candidate for a judgeship in case of enact-
ment of the Quay bill creating a single state. Raymond
has just returned from Washington where he worked for
the extra judgeship measure likewise to make himself
pat with republican leaders. While it is generally con-
ceded that Raymond has the smallest political following
of any of the federal judges in the Territory it must be
remembered that his chief stock in trade is strenuosity
the very ingredient that stands in relief in the make-up
of the president and in ca.se Roosevelt was to succeed
himself and the Quay bill is passed this likeness of
Roosevelt and Raymond might cause no little worry to
the other ambitious occupants of the bench now in the
Territory. Muskogee Times.

Hard Lnck Story.
William Ralentine went to Yinita last Saturday to
carry a lxnd to release Thomas Owen who was in jail
charged with introducing whisky in tlie Territory. If
the story related by Owen's friends is true he shouid
never have been arrested. He gave a man whisky fur
medicine and tlie man reported Owen for introducing.

The Tah!e'p;ah republican club endorsed District At-
torney Sopor last Saturday as republican national com-
mitteeman for the Indian Territory. He will make a
good one. He is a young man of the highest integrity
and honesty an unswerving friend the more you need a
friend the nearer he st icks to you. He is not one to de-
sert a friend on account of poverty or dist ress. Chero-

Generally the expres-
sion is "I don't feel half
well" though sometimes
people say "I feel half
sick." But there Is no
such thing as beine half
sick. The man who teels
half sick is all sick. As a
rule the cause of the
weak tired half sick feel-
ing is disease of tlie stom-
ach resulting in loss of
nutrition and consouently
in physical weakness.
