DEMLAND'S DREmM.
Secretary Demland of the Chamber
of Commerce had a dream the other
night, that he has been telling to
his friends. He had been working
hard on tho packing houso and other
propositions, and got home late—
very late. As usual, he found await-
ing him a nice lunch, prepared by
his thoughtful wife. He partook of
the lunch and the consequent smoke,
and tried to sleep, but he was wake-
ful and repose failed to come. Clasp-
ing his hands behind his head, how-
ever, he soon found rest, but dreams
came. He seemed to be going to
the new Rock Island depot in a flue
big automobile to meet an important
personage. He took the aforesaid
important personage on a trip
around the twenty-mile asphalt boule-
vard about the city, built by Mayor
Stearns, and showed him the Big
Four packing plant, the cotton mill
industries and the various other nu
raerous enterprises of tho city, at all
of which the important personage
was duly delighted, but—said he:
"Now take me to tfte brewery." Then
the distinguished secretary woke up.
"But make It possible," said he, "by
a local option law and I will locate
a brewery or any other legitimate

enterprise in Shawnee." Sucn is the !
Special to The News.
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 2.—The demo-
cratic press is laying gross strops
upon what they claim to be "a crit-
ical legal analysis of the charges pre-
en ted by the republicans in the
lower house of the legislature," made
by Judge John T. Hayes, member ot
the state code commission.
In this so-called "critical analysis,
he says that no allegation is made
in any of the accounts that the per-
sons receiving tne money did not
render value received, nor Is there
any charge of waste or mismanage-
ment.
In this ho completely Ignores the
fact that J. W. Flonner, a Washing-
ton newspaper correspondent, re-
ceives $100 a ni' • th out of the state
treasury and renders In return no
service whatever to the state; that
he also ignores the fact that C. A.
Lawler, a detective, was paid exor-
bitant and unreasonable amounts for
services and expenses and that O. T.
Smith was paid salary and expenses
by tho state at a time when he was
out of the state conducting private
lawsuits for the governor.
Taking up the school land charges,
he quotes Section 4 of house bill
No. 78, of the session laws of 1907-08,
and declares that this authorizes the
commissioners of the public land of-
fice to pay tho enormous and exor-
bitant sums out of all tho school,
cllege and public buildings lands ot
iue state; he purposely attempts to
mislead the public in this, knowing
very well that the law in question
relates only to tne investment of the
$5,UOO,OUO received from tho federal
government and from permanent
school funds and has no reference
whatever to the leasing or manage-
ment of the school, couege or public
building lauds.
Bellamy's Double Salary.
Talcing up the question of a draw
ing of a double salary by Lieutenant
Governor Bellamy, Judge Hayes, iu
an off hand manner, sets aside tiui
opinion of the attorney general ana
the state examiuer and inspector, and
tho provision of mo constitution
which provides that the emoluments
of a public officer shall not be in
creased during the term for which
he was electod.
In regard to Representative An-
thony, as a member of the legisla-
ture holding an appointment under
the governor during the term for
which he was elected, that Mr. An-
thony has just as much right to
serve as private secretary to the gov-
ernor as he would have to raise cot-
ton or practice law. Under his in-
terpretation there is no reason why
members of the legislature should
not be appointed to places on the
board of regents, president of a col-
lege or other state Instituaons. or
j fiill any position at the same time
:hey were serving in tho legislature.
| Why Did Lawler Get the Money?
Speaking of the Lawler charges,
secretary's boundless hope in Shaw-
nee's future.
he says that there are no reasons
why the governor should
not have
employed Mr. Lawler in the capacity
of a detective to trace down old ter-
ritorial frauds. He evades the fact,
however, that the appropriation out
of which Mr. Lawler was paid was
for auditing territorial accounts "in
order that a correct basis might be
obtained for state accounts" and that
the governor was only authorized to
employ accountants. Mr. Lawler,
himself, has been in the city most
of the time during the past week
and can be easily reached by the
legislative committee. If his work
has all been necessary and legiti-
mate work, rendered the state for
the public good, why not put him
on the witness stand and set at rest
all the conjectures about his work?
Talking of O. T. Smith, the dis-
tinguished members of the code com-
mission. he says that the charges
against Mr. Smith are not worthy
of the name and that prima facie
there is nothing in them; he further
saVs that Mr. Smith is entitled to
$250 a month for his services as a
"good lawyer," and also to his ex-
penses, and says that he was at
Pawhuska on public business "about
th4 time" that the charge alleges
that ho was in Ohio, aud if he was
in Ohio the republicans did not
know "but what he was on the state's
business." The lact is the records
In 'the federal court show that Mr.
Smith was in Ohio on uie 30th ot
March, 1909, three days after he
drew $350 for an emergency case,
and that he was in ditterent towns
In Ohio and Michigan during the ten
days following this taking deposi-
tions in a lawsuit for Governor Has-
kell, In which the state has no in-
terest whatever.
The Muskogee Grand Jury.
In commenting upon the charges
that Governor Haskell erred In em-
ploying W. T. Hutcbings and Judge
l>ay| to perform legal services that
suoild have been performed by the
attorney general, Judge Hayes de-
mands to know why the governor
was not also condemned for misap-
proifriating public money In sending
O. f\ Smith to Muskogee to assist
in tjhe recent grand jury investiga-
tion there. The members of the
legislature, who filed the charges
agaiiist the governor have not evi-
dence before them o. the payment of
money to Mr. Smith for his service
or they would certainly have con-
demned the governor for doing so.
As a matter of fact, not only the
republican members of ue legisla-
ture. but the people of the state at
large, condemn the governor lor send-
ing Mr. Smith to Muskogee and At-
torney Hayes to Oklahoma City to
conduct grand jury investigations In-
stead* of allowing the attorney gen-
eral to conduct the investigation,
knowing that the governor's reasons
for tiolng this was that he was
afraid that the attorney general
wouli} socuro the indictment of per-
sons ,ncar the "throne" and that the
otlierj attorneys could be depended
upon to report dally and stop what-
ever a jury got next.

a morbid state of the digestive
apparatus. The majority of our
strongest and vioct aotlve me*
are moderate eaters. It takes a
large amount of nerve force to
digest food. With thase big eat-
ers all the nerve foroe goes ts
the stomach, and so nothing Is
left for brain or muecle. Per-
sons having a good atomwh to
begin with can, by iewfl proottoe,
learn to digest an enormous
quantity of food. If they give
their whole force and vitality
to this business of grinding
grists, they can, in the oourss of
a short life, grind through Im-
mense quantitiea. But aa a
steady and regular and only oc-
cupation, It is. hardly consonant
with the loftiest ambition. The
best course to pursue la to And
out just how much food Is need-
ed to run the machine, exactly
what fuel is best to keep the
steam at the best working point,
and then never pass these
bounds. Don't consume so
much of your nerve force In eat-
ing and digesting that you have
nothing left with which to
achieve those hlghsr triumphs
of life.

in order that the exact status of the

Foreman J. H. Woods of Avoca, W.
P. Dix, J. C. Fisher and T. C. Holt
of Shawnee, all members of the spe-
cial grand jury, testified to Caldwell's
presence in the grand jury room.
Judge Russell delivered an oral opin-
ion, beginning about 5:10 o'clock,
which was taken by. the court stenog-
rapher. He enlarged upon the sanc-
tity of the grand jury room, and the
Oklahoma statutes regarding the con-
duct of tho grand jury. The section
ot the Blllups act defining the pow-
ers of the enforcement attorney, he
held,
. is absolutely clear, inasmuch as it

more right to be present at that
meeting than any other private citi-
zen. Of course, when I made this
decision I was fully cognizant of the
fact that West would appeal to the

wished him to do so as T waut a

I am absolutely confident that my
decision will be upheld. If tho court
