THE CHOCTAW HERALD
(Weekly)
JESSE G. CURD, Editor and Owner
Entered as second class matter
March 3, 1910, at the postoffice at
Hugo, Okla., under act of congress
of March 3, 1879.
11.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE.
Published Every Thursday.
... Hugo, Okla., August 7, 1913
J. J. McAlester was governor of
Oklahoma for a few hours last week,
his regular job being lieutenant gov-
ernor, you know. But last week
Mr. Cruce was invited to attend
banquet in Kansas City and called
the lieutenant governor to the chair,
and as usual, h—broke loose in Ok-
lahoma. Cruce tried this once be-
fore and had to work several months
to patch up a lot of things McAlss-
ter did the few days he worked on
the big desk. That should have
been a well earned experience for
the governor. This time the old
man from Pittsburg signed a job
lot of pardons and the text book con-
tracts. Just what the principal in-
fluence was that compelled the action
has not been brought out—at least
the press has not been informed. A
Muskogee newspaver man tried to
detain the pardon power by notify-
ing the lieutenant governor and his
attorney that the governor was not
tehn out of the state but was in Bar-
tlesville, but the acting governor in-
structed his attorney to call Mr,
Cruce in Kansas City. He did and
talked with the governor over the
phone in that city, and then the
work of signing and approving be-
gan, and when the smoke had clear-
ed away, the acting governor had
pardoned four convicts and approv-
ed the text book contracts for Okla-
hamo schools for the next five years.
The news went out over the state;the
job was so crude and so brazen that
the people only smiled, not giving
the matter a second thought, proba-
bly. The money involved in the
signing of the school book contract
runs into the millions, and the state
is stuck for a five year contract
which is repugnant to those who
have given the matter study. The
governor immediately upon his re-
turn to the state took steps to undo
what the temporary executive had
done by notifying the warden of the
state prison to pay no attention to
the pardons issued, and issued
proclamation in which he stated that
any attempt to go into the fulfill
ment of the contracts by the book
companies would be considered
affront to the state. Yet, this does
not release the people from the ac-
tion of the man McAlester. He was
the duly authorized agent of the
state and by signing the contract
he put it into full force and effect
and any action Mr. Cruce may take
in the matter will not revoke the
action. Those who counselled the
pardons and the contracts are no
less guilty than the old man himself
and should share the blame equally
with him, and if there was anything
coming should also take a share, fot
they certainly did put one over on
the people and should have had
their palme greaseel. There was no
cause for such hurried executive ac-
tion for the text book contracts hat
been awaiting action for a year, and
could at least have been delayed un-
til the governor returned. But the
official pen was too handy, as it was
the last time the old man was en-
trusted with the care of the office,
and he began signing everything or
the desk before the governor was
very far across the boundary. The
state has suffered greatly in the past
from hasty action of those in power,
and so long as this continues there
will be plenty of time for repent-
ance.

. .The appointment of an Oklahoma
Indian as registrar of the federal
treasury suits Oklahoma a great
deal better than the appointment ol
an Oklahoma negro. In years gone
by democrats have had no hesitancy
in asserting that this office was giv-
en to a negro for the sole purpose
of holding the negro vote in line,
and all the time loudly proclaiming
that that party cared nothing for
that class of voters, but when such
a man as Woddrow Wilson madesuch
an appointment, the party, especial-
ly the south, was up in a moment.
Time was when a negro vote count-
ed and it was good politics to give
this clerical position to one of the
race to control the rest of the race
—that was the democratic argument.
But when Mr. Wilson attempted to
follow the precedent the shock was
terrible. But we are glad that the
president, when he saw that the ap-
pointment did not set well with the
party, had the back bone to leave
the precedent behind and establish a
new one, by giving the place to an
original American. Gabe Parker,
whose name will appear on all treas-
ury notes from now on, is an edu-
cated Indian of this section of Okla-
homa, and we were glad to Bee him
land the plum.
Henry P. Robbing for the past
several years editor of the McAles-
ter News-Capital, has disposed of
his interest in the company which
published that paper and has retir-
ed. The News-Capital has been
under the management of Mr. Rob-
bins, has been the republican leader
of this section of the state, but now
falls into the democratic column.
Henry P. Robbins is one of the very
strongest writers the state has ever
had, and his editorial ability was
second to none. He was known to
practically every newspaper man io
the state, and every one of them en-
joyed a friendship with him that will
be remembered, no matter into what
field he may now go. It has not
been announced as to his future
actions, but it is to be hoped that
Henry Robbins will continue to re-
side in Oklahoma, attfl the town and
the paper that secures his services
will be fortunate.

No announcements have yet been
made regardnig a fair for Choctaw
county this year. We are losing
some very valuable time just now,
and if we are going to have a fair
those who will manage it should be
getting busy if we want to have a
successful fair. The county has set
aside $500 for the fair, more money
than we have ever had before from
this source, and with what assist-
ance we can secure from other sour-
ces we can have the biggest fair yet
if we will get busy—but we have no
time to lose.

There's one effective way to re-

Liniment and plasters may relieve
it;
But they seldom reach the cause.

kidneys.
Hugo people back them up.

Doan's Kidney Pills are good. They
have been used in our home for that
heavy, dull ache across the kidneys
pain and lameness through the loinE

Bennington Tribune, (Dem.): The
Oklahoman is anxious for some one
to suggest a statue to adorn the new
State Capitol building. Our idea of
an appropriate design, after the
methods used to g:et the appropria-
tion, would be a figure of a brazen
demmond, with a drunken leer on
her face; in one hand a club, dark-
lantern, six-shooter and a scribe of
false promises; the other hand repre-
sented as swiping bullion from the
state treasury. Then let this figure
be represented as seated in the lap
of a typical pot-bellied Oklahoma
City real estate grafter, who with
one hand holds a mask labeled hon-
estey, between the figure and the
public, while the other he is gleeful-
ly transferring the money swiped
from the people to his own pocket.
As a background let the figure of
Lee Cruce, with a benevolent and id-
iotic smile, Bob Dick holding a $2,-
000 check, Leo Meyers doing a dodg-
ing stunt, Giles Ferris upholding a
"Red Book;" Perry Ballard with a
"lady friends," also a bundle of boo-
dle, and Doc Mahr with a bottle of
booze upheld, stand behind as a sym-
bol of the administration. Let the
whole be surrounded by a host of
game wardens, highway commission-
ers, sand contractors, oil lessees,
school land grafters, etc., each with
bis mouth to a public teat, while the
cow of state sucked to a shadow of
her once sleek self, stands with dis-
consolate look, while the tears of re-
morse trickle down her shamed and
troubled fwe.
