boss, their nominee for governor.”
After laborious effort they have sub-
mitted an instrument which denies
to each citizen equal rights with every
other citizen, deprived the minority
of their Just proportion of representa-
tion; unfairly discriminates in favor
of one locality against another, in-
creases the burdens of taxation with-
out compensating benefits; discour-
ages industrial and commercial de-
velopment; lessens the demand for la-
bor and decreases wages; antagonizes
capital and depreciates investment;
repudiates public obligation; destioys
public credit and has already brought
a blight upon the fair fame and credit
of the proposerd new state. l.\ the
interest of corrupt townsite promot-
ers and couttty scat boosters, it wan-
tonly and needlessly butchered the
county boundaries and obliterated ex-
isting municipalities in disregard of
the wishes of the inhabitants and
over their determined objections.
With no regard for economy or the
burdens of taxation, it provides for •
large number of small counties, many
of which do not contain t sufficient
amount of taxable property to pro-
vide sufficient revenue to meet their
ordinary expenses. It authorizes pri-
vate property to be taken by private
individuals for private uses without

The convention was perhaps the
biggest political convention that will
ever be held in Oklahoma. In addi-
tion ito the 1,576 delegates, there
were three thousand spectators from
all portious of the state. Tulsa en-
tertained tbe convention admirably,
the sessions being held In a huge tent
provided for the purpose.
R. K. Campbell of Sooth McAlester
was temporary chairman and Geo. A.
Murphy of Muskogee permanent
chairman of the convention* E. J.
Costello of Oklahoma county and J.
S. Fischer of Texas county were
agrapb. They declared against the

tribute to Governor Frank Frantz and
endorses his administration; prom-
ises protection against combintaions
with the new state; agrees to favor

MCALESTER SESSION POSTPONED
OUTHJtlE: Mi*. Mlary A1 verson
of Blackwell, grand matron of the
Oklahoma. Eastern Star lodges, is
sending out notification that the Ok-
lahoma Grand Chapter will not meet
at McAlester in August in joint ses-
sion with the Indian Territory Grand
Chapter for the purpose of merging
the two Into one chapter, as originally
was intended. In all probability no
action will be taken along this line
until the Oklahoma Grand Chapter
meets in Guthrie lu February.
The matter of merging with tha In-
dian Territory chapter was discussed
at Enid, where the Oklahoma chapter
met last February, and it was recom-
mended that such merger be consum-
mated when statehood shall be effect-
ive. The delay in obtaining wtate-
bood, therefore, causes the issuanoe
of the notification by the grand ma-
tron. The Indian Territory chapter
will meet in August In McAlester In
annual session.
The Masonic Grand Lodges of the
two territories are also figuring cm
merging when statehood is effective,
and committees have been named to
bring the merger about. The Oklaho-
ma members are William Auderson of
Waurlka, 8. P. Larsh ot Tecumseh,
and W. L. Eagleton of Pawnee; the
Indian Territory members are: Dr.
Leo Bennett of Musk gee and A. Dd-
dlefanan of Ardmore. The Indian Ter-
ritory grand lodge also ireets In Au-
gust.
Keifer is the slickest town in the In-
dian Territory. They oil the streets
there to allay the dust.
Is favored where demanded by the
people.
The removal of all restrictions is
favored and law- giving to the mem-
bers of the Indian tribes of this state
all the rights apd privileges of other
American citizens will be asked of
congress. Post roads for rural mail
service are favored. An endorsement
of the work of the Hon. Bird S. Mc-
Guire and Hon. T. B. Ferguson: a
pledge to the people in the big pasture
that state representatives in congress
will use every endeavor to secure an
extension of their payments.
ELEVEN CENTS IS MINIMUM
MUSKOGEE: “Unless the farmers
of the eastern half of the new state
get more than eleven cents for their
cotton this year, the majority of them
will be driven out of the cotton busi
ness," is the rather startling state-
ment made by a prominent cotton
grower who has spent some twenty
years farming in Indian Territory.
His course of reasoning follows:
At any time prior to 1900 if one
had asked any cotton grower in the
eastern part of the new state what if
cost to grow an acre of cotton In*
would have said an average of $10.
If one makes a calculation this year
he must add $7 per acre making thd
cost now $17 Instead of $10. In for-
mer days when nine cents was a good
price for cotton the cost was $10 to
produce It. In addition to the cost
of producing the cotton, one mus'
consider that the price of every farm
implement, of seed and of transpor-
tation has advanced from 15 to 50
per cent. This brings the farmer to
the realization that cotton must bring
from 12 to 15 cents if he gets any
profit.
Five years ago a farmer could hire
hands for 75 cents per day and they
usually boarded themselves. Today
he has to pay $1.25 per day and board
the hands, end In rush seasons has
to increase this to $2 per day.
These facts have been figured out
by a farmer who “keeps books on his
fields,” and knows what the increase
in cost of production has been.
Largest Fine In History of American
Criminal Juriaprvidence—Appeal
la Taken by Standard Oil—
If Convicted Again Fine
Will Be $88,400,000
CHICAGO: Judge Kenesaw M.
Landis Saturday in the United States
district cdurt fined the Standard Oil
■ompany of ludianu $29,400,000 for
violation of the law against accepting
rebates fr; ni railroads.
The fine is the largest ever as-
sessed against any individual or any
torporutiou in the history of Ameri
can criminal jurisprudence and is
ilightly more than 131 times as great
is the amount received by the com
pany through its rebating operations.
The case will be carried to the high
er courts by the defendant com pay.
Under the seven Indictments still
peudlng against the Standard Oil
company an additional fine amount
ing to $88,400,000 may be levied
against the company if it Is found
guilty on trial. There are in ttaest
seven idictmets a total of 4.422
couts. and the maximum fine in each
Tount would be $20,000.
The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maxiiqum permitted
under the law and it was announced
at the end of a long opinion in which
the methods and practices of the
Standard Oil company were merci-
lessly scored. The judge In fact, de-
clared in his opinicn that the offi
rials of the Standard Oil company
who were responsible for the prac-
tices of which the corporation was
found guilty were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves.

TO MEND SILK STOCKINGS.
Method Only Requires a Little Care
and Patience.
Silk stockings are among the ex*
|H-nslve luxuries of a girl’s wardrobe.
The first cost is considerable, and
they do not stand wear.
When the first stitch breaks their
beauty is much impaired, It not actual-
ly destroyed. That one tiny break
rapidly runs down the length of the
stocking, and If not quickly mended
the opcu strip speedily widens and
the case Is hopeless.
The usual way of mending Is to
sew the raveled edges together with
over-arid over stitch, says Harper’s Bu-
zar. This may stop further raveling,
but even with the greatest care there
will be a fuzzy seuni very conspicu-
ous on the pluin part of the stock-
ing, and most unsightly on any part.
A better way, which only requires
patience, is to pick up the ntitchcsand
crochet the edges together with a
fine needle and fine silk of the same
color.
The seam then will never Ik* no-
ticed by anyone but the wearer.
USES FOR OLD WAIST8.
SEC! TUFT
In Many Ways They Can Be Utilized
for Other Garments.
Discarded white shirtwaists are not
Ihe useless articles they first appear.
One with a pretty front may be cut
out in neck and anna for a corset
cover.
A child's guimpc or a lady’s chem-
isette may also be cut from the por-
tions of handsome waists, while turn-
over collars are easily obtained from
embroidered fronts. The edges are
bound around with bias folds of nar-
row braid, says an exchange.
A plain shirt waist forms a good
foundation for u chemisette of sheer
materia), as it aids in holding that d<
ctdedly-inclined-to-wander article in
place. The sleeves and neck are cut
out. the armholes bound and the
chemisette stitched into position.
If desired the tail portion may be
cut away with extra bulk at that
point. A narrow hem will answer as
a finish.
Plums with Cream.
Have you tried eating phum* with
cream? Borne persons like good sweet
plums, peeled and stoned and sliced
with sugar and cream, like other
fruits, or only with cream.
Make plum jelly by scalding the
piums aud throNving away the first
oily butter water, more than one if It
comes off greenish and strong. Cov-
er the fruit with fresh water aud cook
until the juice is red and struugly
flavored with the fruit. Pour this
off and use for Jelly, with the usual
amount of sugar, straining it before
using for jellly. The plums left in
the kettle will be nearly whole. These
will make good plum pies or sauce
when sifted, because they have not
been pressed at all.
Scald plums in this way for sauce;
it is the bitter oil in the skins that
makes the fruit less palatable. Stew-
ed plums are delicious when rightly
cooked and are also choice when pour-
ed over a batter, or cottage pudding.
Another Honey Cake.
Two pounds of honey, two pounds
of flour, one-half pound of butter, six
ouures of almonds chopped fine, one-
eighth of an ounce of ground carda-
mon, one-quarter ounce of ground
cloves, one ounce of pure carbonate
of potash, dissolved in a little water.
IjcI the honey and butter come to a
boil, and, when cool, add the spices,
almonds and flour, and lastly the pot-
ash. Let the dough stand over night.
Roll out into a sheet a quarter inch
thick and bake In a moderate oven.
Cover with white frosting.
