Holes in the Proposed Taylor Election Law.
The Fourth ward
precinct a contest
between Scott and
Lackey shows one
prepared feature to
aid in the stealing
of elections.
THE PATRONS CLUB.
W.'v .HE TAYLOR LAW?
In j *'!<*« to our readers, we will,
explain moie about the disappearance
of the ballots in precinct A of the 4th
ward that prevented John Scott from
having a fair trial in court for the
seat in the council to which he claims
to have been honestly elected.
When those ballots were burned by
some member of the board it was
probably at the time when the new
Taylor election law was supposed to
be in force. If you remember, the
Governor announced at one time in
the late fall that the Taylor law was
in force. But Attorney General West
soon advised him that it was not nor
could not be enforced until the su-
preme court would pass on the valid-
ity of the referendum proposition.
But there was a period of two or
three weeks when the county board
here believed it to be in force and it
is our opinion that this was the time
when the balots were destroyed.
Why? Because the law requires
that all ballots shall be preserved by
the election board until after all time
for contests shall have passed.
It also makes it a felony to destroy
them.
The proposed Taylor law makes it
only a misdemeanor for destroying
ballots in such cases.
The punishment under the old law
is a term in the penitentiary, while
the proposed Taylor law fixes the
punishment at a $15 fine. The one
(or more) who destroyed the ballots
in the Scott case evidently expected
to escape with a $15 fine if caught.
With Reardon friendly there Isn’t
much chance of his being caught.
And that is one of the many loop
holes put into the proposed Taylor
law. It was made for the sole pur-
pose of further facilitating the steal-
ing of elections. It can be used in
the primaries by the Haskell gang
against honest democrats just the
same as at elections agains tothers.
You see, under the law, the gover-
nor appoints the whole board. Has-
kell would not begin to appoint a man
on the county board unless first con-
vinced that the man would help steal
elections.
The people are not permitted to
elect honest men for the county elec-
tion board. If the people elected
their officials they would select hon-
est men.
If Governor Haskell was not so
crooked himself that he couldn’t
sleep in a round house, he wjuld, in
imitation of decency, discharge the
entire county election board or force
them to turn up the member who
burned those ballots and send him to
the penitentiary.
We always thought that Roosevelt
set a good example by discharging
those niggers down at Brownsville
when they refused to give up the
guilty ones.
But 1 fcave long been convinced
that Haskell desires that people be-
lieve him to be crooked. If he does
not, why does he shield and protect
criminals all the time?
The Patron's meeting at the east
side school house last Friday was an-
other unqualified success. These meet
ings, after they were started, have
met with enthusiastic co-operation
from all sides and have become de-
cidedly popular. The last meeting was
in charge of the vice president of the
Association, Mrs. R. A. Caldwell, to
whose efforts much of its successs is
due. The principal feature of the meet-
ing was the address of Prof. E. D.
Cameron, the newly elected Superin-
tendent of the Oklahoma City schools.
Of the other exercises, the Question
Box was among the most important
and drew opinions from quite a num-
ber of those present, that' were both
interesting and helpful.
The absence of the president, Mrs.
. M. Agee, made it necessary to elect
a successor, and Mrs. W. A. Hobbs
was unanimously chosen to fill the of-
fice. The next meeting will be held
on the last Friday in February and
will be made as interesting as pos
sible. don’t fall to be there.

W. C. T. U. NOTES.
The Union will meet Thursday, P'eb.
10th, with Rev. and Mrs. P. M. Boling-
er on Poplar street, everybody cordial-
ly invited to attend. The topic will
be Christian Citizenship. Last Thurs-
day’s meeting with Mrs. C. R. Shields
was one of our best; let us keep up
the record. The meeting was one of
the Mother's meetings and was led
by our County Superintendent of that
department, Mrs. Williams. At the
close of the exercises the hostess serv-
ed refreshments and a social hour fol-
lowed which was greatly appreciated
by those present. Among the guests
were Mrs. Nellie Eheplor, one of our
state organizers, and Mrs. T. W.
Kepley.
THE FIRST TURNOUT.
The local fire fighters made their
first run with the new wagon arid
equipments last Wednesday when
the house occupied by A. Rogers on
Eggleston avenue, caught fire from
a defective flue. The latter passed
through a closet where wearing ap-
parel was kept and started a blaze.
Our fire boys made •„ gallant run, in
spite of the disadvantages they are
forced to work under until the new
was soon extinguished with a loss of
about $25 to the building and $50
worth of wearing apparel.

In free trade England there is a
crisis in the boot and shoe Industry
because of the sharp advance In the
cost of leather. Manufacturers draw
upon many countries for their raw rna
terlal, obtaining hides from Argentine,
Australia and South Africa as well as
North America and Europe, hut they
find themselves unable to buy leather
except at so large an advance that It
must force higher prices for shoes—
so much higher that consumers pro-
test bitterly.
In Vera Cruz, the best known port of
Mexico, the cost of living has about
doubled, according to unquestioned au-
thorities, In the last ten years or so,
and live present retail price of food
staples such as flour, meats, tea, po-
tatoes, etc., is so high that the condi-
tion of the poor is desperately bad.
All that they can hope to do 1b to sus-
tain life by eating only beans and
corn meal and the cheapest and poor-
est vegetables.
Even In Siberia, one of the regions
least populated and most opulent In
natural resources, there Is a marked
rise In values, all the way from land
to meat, and the same change Is noted
in Argentine, where cattle are raised
by millions and the 7,000,000 inhabP
tants, more or less, have a territory
ono-thlrd as large as the United States
to spread themselves over and use as
prodigally as they deBlre.
Such illustrations of a world wide
movement could be multiplied without
limit. They show plainly that some,
at least, of the causes of high prices
are common to many lands and are
probably beyond the reach of any gov-
ernment. Others, however, may be
both local and illegal, and In that case
they must be dealt with all the more
rigorously because of the burdens
which cannot be lifted by the power
of the state. J
So Soon Forgotten.
While Mr. Bryan was celebrating
Jackson day by declaiming “The
Prince of Peace” at Christobal, In the
canal zone (a dispatch from Colon
naively says that "he did not mention
politics"), the unterrlfled Democracy
of Missouri was gorging on a two dol-
lar dinner In Kansas City.
The Hon. Beauchamp Clark of Pike
county emitted ferocious enthusiasm,
the Hon. Joseph Wingate Folk vir-
tuous commonplaces; our own organ-
izer of victory, the Hon. Norman
Mack, urged the Democrats to get to-
gether.
Not a word from Panama; not a
word about the chief whom Mr. Mack
made president by almost the total
electoral vote a fortnight before the
election of 1908. The chairman of the
national Democratic committee salut-
ed the old familiar favorites, Jefferson
and Old Hickory; to the Nebraska
Jackson and Jefferson he offered no
worship, or but a silent one.
Has Jackson day ceased to be Bryan
day? Is Wandering William lost to
memory as to sight?—New York Sun.
No Danger of War Over Tariff.
The president of the local govern-
ment board of Great Britain Is report-
ed as deprecating a British tariff on
lumber on the ground that It might
lead to war with the United States,
and as saying that tariffs had caused
nearly all the wars that religion had
I not. We beg leave to assure Mr.
j Burns that If there is never a war be-
tween America and Great Drltian un-
til there is one over a British duty
on American lumber, peace will be
perpetual—as. Indeed, we expect It
will be, anyway! As for the other
part of his statement, If tariffs are to
be eschewed because they occasion-
ally provoke wars, of coarse the nat-
ural Inference Is that religion should
also be abolished, since it Is the other
chief cause of wars! But really we
should be much Interested to have Mr.
Burns display a catalogue of wars
which have been caused by tariffs.
No Two Opinions.
“Upon the main Issue, the conserva-
tion of our natural resources, there
should not be two opinions among the
reputable people of this country.
Everything should be done under ex-
isting laws, and under new ones If
necessary, to keep the water power
sites and other valuable properties of
that sort out of the greedy hands of
great monopolists. Neither ownership
nor long leases should be granted in
such cases."—Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle
