THE CHARTER IS SUPREME.
The supreme court in banding down
its decision in the Guthrie charter
case, decided once tor ail a conten-
tion that has caused acme embarrass-
ment to the people of Shawnee, re-
sulting from the conflict between the
city administration and the county
election board over which body had
the authority to hold the city election
In Shawnee on the first Tuesday in
April.
The court concludes, its decision
with this language, taken from the
statutes and the former opinion of the
court in tile Oklahoma City case, en
titled Lackey ti State:
MA corporation de facto may legally
do and perform every act and thing
which the aame entity could do and
perform were it a de jure corporation
As to all the world, except the para
mount authority under which it act#
and from which it receives it charter,
it occupies the same position al-
though in all respects valid; and even
as against the state, except in dire't
proceedings to arrest its usurpation of
power, it is submitted, its acts are to
be treated as efficacious."
"ft follows that in this collateral
proceeding the question as to the val
idity of the adoption of the charter
cannot be challenged.
"2—Was the election, held pursuant
to the terms of the charter and at
which the defendtni was elected, val
id? The first legislature enacted the
following provision
" 'When a charter for any city of
this state shall have been framed,
adopted and approved according to
the provisions og this act. and any
proviaions of su^h charter shall be in
conflict with anw law or laws, relat
Ing to cities of the first class in force
at the time of the adoption and ap-
proval of such charter, the provisions
of Buch charter shall prevail and be
in full force, notwithstanding such
I eonflict, and ahall operate as a repeal
6r suspension of such state law or
laws to the extent of such conflict;
* and such state law or laws shall not
s thereafter be operative insofar, as
t they are in conflict with such charter
t provided, that such charter shall be
consistent with and subject to the pro-
s visions of the constitution and laws
relating to the exercise of the initia-
tive and referendum, and other gen-
eral laws of the state not relative to
cities of the first class." (Session
Laws 1907-8, chapter 12. page 190;
section 801, Comp Laws 1909.)
"In Lackey vs. State, 29. Oklahoma
—, 116 Pac. 913, this court, in con-
struing said statute, aaid.
"it is clear that the foregoing stat-
ute Intends to provide that wherever
a freeholders' charter has been adopt-
ed under the provisions of the consti
tution, and conflicts with any law of
the ntate relating to municipal mat-
ters of cities of the first class, that
the provisions of auch charter shall
prevail.'
"In other words, the effect of aaid
statute was to dcclarc the law as it
already existed in the conatitutioii,
merely aettlng out the same in great-
' er detail than aa contained in article
!18.
I "In Lackey vs. State, supra, the rule
was declared that whenever any mat
ter fell 'within the domain of municip-
j a! government,' or related solely to
municipal affairs, such provision of a
municipal charter, adopted pursuant
to the provisions of article 18, super-
seded the general state laws.
"The charter provides for the ap-
pointment of precinct election officers
by the mayor, instead of the county
election board, as required by the state
laws, the precinct board appointed by
the mayor to consist of two judge*
and two clerks, who shall act as coun
ters. instead of an inspector, judge
and clerk and four counters, as pro-
vided by the general election law, the
returns to be canvassed by the city
clerk, instead of the county election
board; also for a ballot which shall
not contain any designation of par
ties, but upon which the names of
candidates for each office appear In
alphabetical order.
"It is farther contended that the
charter election law is in conflict with
the general election law, in that it
does not provide any means for plac-
ing upon the ballot the name of a
non-partisan candidate. That the elec-
tion of municipal officers is strictly a
municipal affairs seems to be sustaied
by authority. People vs. Hill. 125 Cal-
ifornia 16. 57 Pac 6t>9; Socialist Par
ty vs. Uhl, 155 California 776, 103
Pac. 181; Graham vs. Roberts, 300
Massachusetts 152, 85 N E. 1009;
Ewing vs. Hoblitxelle, 85 Missouri 74.
"Although the charter provisions as
to purely municipal matters may su-
persede the general state laws, yet
such provisions may not supersede
the provisions of the constitution of
the state. Section 5, article 3 of the
constitution provides
" The legislature shall enact laws
providing for a mandatory primary
system, which shall provide for the
nomination of all candidates in ail
elections for state, district, county and
municipal officers, for all political
parties, including United States sena-
tors; provided, however, this provision
shall not exclude the right of the peo-
ple to placs on the ballot by petition
any non-partisan candidate.'
"It Is insisted by the defendant in
error that the people in a municipal-
ity containing 2000 people or more,
framing a charter under the provisions
of article 18 of the constitution, is ex-
ercising legislative power within such
subdivision, come within the meaning
of the term legslature* as used in
section 5. Article 3 supra. In this we
cannot concur. The legislative body
of such a municipality could not enact
laws providing for a mandatory pri-
mary system, providing for the nomi-
nation of all candidates in all elections
for state, district, county and munici-
pal officers, including United States
senators, for to do so would be to leg
(slate not only upon purely municipal
matters, but also upon purely state
matters, towit: the nomination of all
candidatea in all elections for state
officers.
"It is clear to our mind that it is
the duty of the legislature to provide
a primary system for the nomination
of candidates for all municipalities.
I including those created under char-
ters framed pnrntant to the pt* ers
of sections &a and 3b of article 18 of
the constitution. But there appears
to be no such provision in the con-
stitution relsting to municipal offi-
cers. That being a municipal affair.
:t was within the sower of the people
of the municipality to provide laws
for the election of such officers and
; to fix the time and place for such
'.election. Lackey va State, supra."
In the beginning of the campaign
in this city this year The Xews-Her-
aJd said:
Of one thing we fee', convinced,
and that is that under the charter the
city has a right to manage, call and
direct its own elections. We think
tbst question has been granted by
the constitution, is provided for by
the charter and has been upheld by
the supreme court. It will be neces-
sary to test this matter here, how-
lever. because the election board has
already called an election and the
j mayor and council will ignore this
call."
The matter was later taken to the
superior court and Judge Abernaihy
decided, or rather declared it as his
belief, that the county election board
I should hold the election. The city
administration had no basis for an
j appeal from the court's decision on the
c ase before the court at that time, and
all parties by common consent accept-
ed the court's dictum and filed with
*ne county board. The city adminis-
tration did not repeal its election or-
dinance or call off its plans for hold-
j ing the election, however, and now
that the supreme court upholds the
right of the municipality to govern
itself and hold its own elections for
purely municipal matters, there is
i nothing left for the county election
i board to do but gracefully retire. It
has not been arbitrary in assuming
these duties. It acted because it be-
lieved, and had the conclusions of
Judge Abernathv behind it in doing
so. that it was a part of its duty to
call the primary, appoint the election
officials and hold this election. The
board will probably feel relieved that
the lb pre me court decision discharges
them from this responsibility and glad-
ly retire from any further activity in
the premises.
The city administration will go for
ward with the work of holding the pri-
mary and the election on the same
dates as provided in the double calL
The officers chosen as judges and
clerks under the charter will have
charge of the primary and election and
there will be no question in the fu-
ture about the legality of the elec-
tion. The supreme court's reiteration
of its decision in the Oklahoma City
case makes it the established law of
the state that cities operating un-
der a legal charter have the right to
govern their own affairs.

t irn would be the success of reaction-
: m. but not back to the point of the
Inax oligarchy. De la Barra is a kind
| of moderate, a mild dissenter from the
Dial role, but not an earnest sym-
pathiser of the forces brought into ex
.stence by Madero. It is said in the
dispatches that the present insurrec-
tion is being financed and otherwise
promoted by the cientificio party, the
remnant of the old Dial regime, and
perhaps, or at least one may fancy,
while it does ont delude itself into tbe
belief that it can entirely restore the
old Diaz oligarchy, it does indulge in
the hope that it can effect such a
compromise with radicalism as would
be signified by the retirement of Ma-
dero and the succession of de la Bar-
ra.—Dallas News.
rHE FOOLISHNESS OF WORRY.
The individual who never gets a
hump on himself, who never tries to
amount to anything, is of course a
failure and ought to get the boot
where it will do the most good. But
on the other hand, there is nothing
more foolish than worrying over
things that may happen which you
can't help. The truth of the matter
is that if you do the best you can you
will not have a great many things to
really worry about
"1 am an old man," said an ancient
mariner, "and have had many troubles,
but most of them never happened."
Happiness in this world is not con
fined to any particular class or de
termined by any particular condition.
We have all seen people who got a
lot of enjoyment out of mighty little,
und others who were always miserable
although they had a great deal.
Take the case of the colored race
in this country. The game of life
seems to be played againat them. The
cards are never, apparently, stacked
tin their favor. The doors of oppor-
| tunity appear to be closed against
them for the most part, but if you
I think they are altogether miserable,
| just watch a crowd of them together.
If they do not get more fun out of
life than the average white citizen,
then they are the best actors that ever
lived.
It is said that it is a rare thing to
! see a multi-millionaire smile. I do not
know whether this is true or not, nev-
er having mingled with multimillion-
aires, but I have no reason to doubt
it. They are so blamed anxious to
gather in the dollars they haven't yet
got hold of and so much afraid that
somebody will take away some of the
dollars they h.xve already gathered,
that they haven i much time left in
[which to really enjoy themselves.—
Mail and Breeze.
The apparently authorized annonce-
ment of the plans for the reconstruc-
tion of Madero's cabinet is the most
definite news that has vet come out
of Mexico suggesting the disturbed
state of the government. It seems to
be Intended, not only as a concession
to the insurrectionists, but an antici-
pation of events which will compel the
j retirement of Madero and the recall
of de la Barra to^erve as temporary
president, a role he performed with
conspicuous success during the inter-
im between the retirement of Diaz and
the Installation of Madero. Snch a
Henry Clews, the Wall Street proph-
et, sees an end to radicalism. He says
the crest has been reached and the
thing will subside. He had better
not have his friends build any houses
on the sand near the shore. The wave
may be only fooling. The country is
in for a run of what some people call
radicalism but what is really progres-
siveism. The old things are passing
away and the new things are at hand.
—Ex.
There should be no question of the
right of all candidates who have
shown their faith by filing with the
county election board being allowed to
transfer that filing to the local politi-
cal committees and to the city clerk's
record. Any attempt to take a techni-
cal advantage of the former conflict
of authority by shutting out or at-
tempting to shut out bona fide candi-
dates would react in their favor by
arousing the resentment and fighting
blood of every man who believes in
fair play. It was not the fault of the
candidates that they registered with
the election board only, for everybody
believed under Judge Abernathy's de-
cision that that board would have con-
trol of the election and it is a very
grave question of whether or not a
candidate could not compel the city
committees and the city clerk to file
them. Let's play the game on the
square. This is a mighty poor year
to try to deprive any American citi-
zen of his rights.
01B CHICAGO SEWS LETTER.
BIG FEET, FRATERNAL INSUR-
ANCE, NEW COAL FIELDS AND
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Special to The News-Herald.
Chicago, March 13.—Big feet are a
blessing after ail and Chicago women
may now clamor for recognition. The
woman physician by whom was re
vealed this tardy, welcome conclusion
is likely to have both fame and for-
tune for it and others who are not
averse to newspaper mention are
wondering why they never thought
that one out. It all transpired at a
woman's club's session. Many of the
shoes were sixes. Hist: "Big feet
are a blessing," said the speaker. "If
yours are 'whoppers' you have cause
for rejoicing." (Applause.) Women
who wear a No. 6 shoe have no cause
for regret," she added. "A man who
wears a No. 11 should feel great pride.
They are a distinct advantage. Per-
hapa they are not graceful but they
are indeed most practical. Women
especially try to squee2e a No. 6 foot
into a No 3 shoe. Their minds are
filled with but one thought—style. It
may not appear aesthetic at first
thought," she said, "but I recommend
the wearing of sandals by all persons
—men, women and children—when
they are in their homes. It will make
the feet larger." (Thundering ap-
plause.) "Men and women both
should remember the fact that big in-
tellects do not go with little feet.
Cultivate large feet. The intellect
then will grow automatically."
Great new coal fields in the north-
west, which Chicago ayndicates among
others are developing, will supply the
fuel required by the Grand Trunk Pa-
cific transcontinental railroad at its
western terminus, Prince Rupert Big
development work already has been un-
dertaken on coal properties of Graham
and Queen Charlotte islands. On Gra-
ham island the British Pacific Coal
Company is developing a big property
where the anthracite has been ex-
posed by open cuts at intervals for
more than a mile of its length, the
thickness having been found to aver-
age six feet. Some of these islands
have not been trod by the foot of any
man except trappers, prospectors,
hunters and timber cruisers but the
need for coal and the discovery of
great deposits of it according to re-
ports to those who are interested, are
causing abrupt and startling changes
The mouth of one tunnel on Graham
island will be within a mile of tide-
water. One company has arranged for
tbe exploration by diamond drills of
all of its properties. The building of
a city at Prince Rupert and the needs
of the transcontinental railroad by
1914 also has caused the development
of fishing and fish trade throughout
that region. At Seal Cove an enor-
mous cold storage plant has been
erected in which a temperature of 25
degrees below zero is possible. The
company's plant includes fifteen troll-
ing schooners which cost $60,000 each
with gasoline auxiliaries. The com-
pany's own freight steamers will ply
between Prince Rupert and Vancouver
and Seattle. Offices will be estab-
lished in those cities and Boston, New-
York. London, Montreal, Toronto, Que
bee and Hongkong, China.
The challenge of the national asso-
ciation of state insurance commission-
ers issued by the Woodmen of the
World has been taken up by in Chica-
go by the federations of fraternal in-
surance societies which represent
some six billions of insurance and de-
nounced as "a breach of faith" as well
as "a war on future widows." The
defi" was a declaration by the Wood-
men of the World against the Mobile
bill, drafted by the insurance com-
missioners to prevent insolvency and
high finance and endorsed by the Na-
tional Fraternal Congress and Asso-
ciated Fraternities of America. It
now is the law in some fifteen states
and is proposed for enactment in sev-
eral more. Readjustment of rates was
necessary to bring about conditions in
many societies to comply with the law
but most of those holding membership
in the big federations have taken steps
to comply. Only recently the Modern
Woodmen of America, which has more
than a milion members, declared for
readjustment of rates to insure sol-
vent conditions in the future. A fac-
tion threatened defection until the im-
possibility was discovered of securing
a state license for a new society
charging less than proper rates. Many
small societies have been bidders for
the insurgent members of the others.
Recently Insurance Commissioner H.
L. Ekern of Wisconsin said: "Frater-
nal societies generally have come to
recognize that their business must be
conducted on a sound basis. This
means a re-rating for nearly every so-
ciety, and members who do not fully
understand the situation are often in-
clined to complain of increase in their
rates. They should understand that
with a re-rating on a sound basis they
have a much more valuable insurance
thr.a before. All are benefitted by
getting a permanent insurance for
what was uncertain before."
War on the loan shark by legal aid
societies of Chicago and other cities
will be extended into a national war-
fare if a conference soon to be held in
New York proves successful in unit-
ing local bodies in a national move-
ment In matters of extortionate loans
and other things the Legal Aid Socie-
ty of Chicago has grown to a sphere
of great daily usefulness. to poor or
uninformed people who need the serv-
ices of a lawyer but have not the mon-
ev to pay for them. A distressed
mother recently recovered her little
boy through this bureau which is
maintained largely by {subscriptions of
intelligent and prosperous men and
women. When this mother first ap-
plied for asRistance she was in des-
pair. Her husband had deserted her
tie Creek, Mich., and the people with
whom she left her little boy refused
' to give him up when she sent for him
• two years later. Every few months
-he visited her boy and each time was
i treated more coldly until finally she
: received a legal notice that her son
had become a ward of the state of
• Michigan and had been given for
adoption to the people with whom she
j left him. In many cases this free
legal assistance is rendered employes
whose wages are not forthcoming and
who are in no financial position to
j fight for them. President Rudolph
j Matz in his annual report said: "Dur-
i ng 1911 we have had 8451 new cases
; presented to us, which means that
IS451 men, women and children have
consulted us In new matters. This
; means approximately thirty persons
j on each of the working days of the
j year. In 1910 6.2S2 new clients came
j to us. In 1909 5,102. In December
j 1911, the new cases came in at the
j rate of 10,000 a year, and in the past
month, January, the rate has increased
to 12,000 a year. Many cases mean
many interviews and extended work,
both in court and out of court."
War on bogus fruit trees will be
waged by a national organization of
horticulturists which will have head-
quarters in Chicago, acocring to pres-
ent plans. The growing importance of
apple, peach, plum and cherry cul-
ture has brought about fakes and a
new race of imposters who have been
successful in fooling and defrauding
fruit growers throughout the country
by the sale of trees which have cost
their growers many millions of dol-
lars. "The loss is not the purchase
prices paid for the fruit trees but the
cost, immensely large, of bringing
those trees to the age of profitable
bearing—cultivating tnem, pruning
them and spraying them for several
years in the belief that they will re-
turn the care and expense many fold,"
said one authority. "When a man buys
fruit trees, if he knows bis business,
he seelcts certain varieties for good
reasons and must rely on the reputa-
tion of the nurseryman to furnish
stock that is true to name." The enor-
mous development of fruit growing
east and west has made fat pickin:
for the imposter and many schemes
have been devised to put a stop to
this fraud. When a man buys a suit
of clothes which proves to be shoddy
he learns his mistake in a mighty
short time, but in the case of fruit
trees several years must elapse be-
fore there is any certain means of de-
termining what kind of fruit the tree
will produce. It is a waste of money
to plant varieties like the Ben Davis
nowadays—the big profits are made
in growing fancy fruit that sells for
fancy prices. One case was reported
where, after three years of painstaking
effort a mand found he had a young
orchard of trees which would bear
nothing better than cider apples. On
the other hand one man in Washing-
ton received $1500 for a crop from
thirty-six trees. In that case the va-
riety was Stark Delicious, the highest
priced apple on the market and worth
more per one-bushel box than the
cider apples are worth per barrel. In
(the first case the reports shows that
the fraud cost the farmer fully $1500
before he discovered his misfortune
and in the other case a big profit was
realized. How to prevent this form of
fraud is a problem which the national
body will have to solve.

Predatory wealth is arrayed against
health in tbe opposition of shipping
and other interests to an increased
flow of water from the Great Lakes
through tbe Chicago sanitary canal,
acording to Lyman E. Cooley, interna-
tional authority on drainage problems,
who will brief the matter for a hear-
ing before Secretary Stimson of the
v.ar department. His preliminary re-
view of the question whether the
shipping interests and Canada should
prevent the taking of 10.000 cubic feet
per second instead of the present
amount 2167 cubic feet practlcularly
protested against the American and
Canadian governments interpreting
their treaty as retroactive, as the san-
itary canal was built with government
sanction before was signed the treaty
which specified that the Canadian side
may divert 26.U0O cubic feet a second
and tbe American side 20,000 cubic
feet. He emphasized the constitution
al right to use water for sanitary or
domestic purposes as superior to auy
rights to use it for commerce or in-
dustry. "If the drainage canal is not
permanently lessening the volume of
water in the great lakes, there can be
no objection either under the treaty
or otherwise against what is diverted,''
declared Mr. Cooley.

so that any man anywhere who s
wsak and discouraged with repeat-
ed failures may stop drugging him-
self with harmful patent medicines,
secure what I believe is the quick-
est-acting restorative, upbuilding,
SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever de-
vised. and so cure himself at home
quietly and quickly. Just drop me
a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson,
4071 Luck Building, Detroit. Mich.,
and I will send you a copy of this
splendid recipe in a plain ordinary
envelope free of charge. A great
many doet rs would charge $3.00 to-
*5.00 for merely writing out a pre-
scription like this—but I send it
entirely free.
