GIVES OUT A
STATEN ENT
Says There viii Be Effort to
Influence the LeSSeeS.
THEIR ACTION NATURAL
They Will Meet Monday at
Oklahoma City.
THEIR ACTION NATURAL

Guthrie. o. T. July 25.-statements
have been made that would indicate that
the territorial administration has sought
to influence the action of the school land
lessees of Oklahoma at their meeting
next Monday at Oklahoma City. These
reports have been directed more especially
toward the school land department. The
meeting Of the lessees is for territorial
organization, one which will result in
benefit to each member. County organ
izations have been made and delegates
VIII assemble at Oklahoma City. The
school land department has paid very
little attention to this organiza ton, be-
lieving that its efforts for bettsr condi-
tions are not directed against the depart
ment. Secretary Jas. J. Houston. today
gave out the following interview relative
to the lessees organization:
Neither any member of the board nor
myself have taken any action npr sought
in any way to influence OF control the
action Of the meeting of the school les
sees to be held in Oklahoma City next
Monday. As citizens Of the territory the
members Of the board are interested in
the deliberations and conclusions Of so
large n body Of Interested citizens as
comprise the school laQd lessees Of the
territory, for they can have a very con-
siderable effect upon the future disposi-
ton of this immense territorial interest
The lessees are not making any COM
plant against the board. and do not
understand that the meeting Is for con-
sideration OF the present plan of leas-
ing. Lessees in all parts of the territory
are satisfied and prosperous, and there
is not lessee who cannot sell his right
and privileges under the present rules
and policy Of the board for several hund-
red dollars above what he has invested in
improvements The lessees Of the terri
tory have hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars in improvements on these lands. and
they have resided on them until they are
attached to them. so as statehood ap-
proches they are justified in seeking to
protect themselves in their improvements.
and it is natural and proper that they
should consider the proposition of sale
or permanent retention and lease Of the
land and whichever policy may be
adopted when Oklahoma becomes a state.
It is no doubt matter Of interest to the
lessee what. if any, preference he may
be given or may be able to obtain So,
as the lessees are directly affected, it IS
natural that they confer on these and
other matters.
These are questions which are Of in
terest to all people Of the territory; they
are not matters Of tardy politics but OF
statesmanShip. Neither the territorial
administration, the board for leasing the
lands nor either political party has taken
any position on these questions. l hope
to be able to attend the meeting as
would 4 conference upon any other sub
ject in which I have knowledge and in
terest as private citizen. but not being
a lessee could take no part IN the meet
ing"

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Quickly Dissipates Tired Feel
ings and Gives New Life to
the Weak, Nervous and
Debiii;ated.

Tired, languid and despondent feelings
prevail TO an alarming extent during the
heated term Of summer. Such feelings
indicate depleted blood and feeble con-
dition Of the nervous system.
This is just the time when Paine's
Celery Compound is needed to build Up
flesh and muscle, brace the nerves and
clear and strengthen the brain.
Sick headaches. nervous prostra ton,
sleeplessness and general feeling Of
mental and physical depression BY which
life is made almost intoIerable in the hot
weather can all be speedily banished by
the use OF a bottle or two OF Paines
Celery Compound. natures summer rem
ovator and strength giver.
Paine's Celery Compound never fails to
repair the wasted and wornOut tissues:
it calms and perfectly regulates nervous
action and brings that sweet and rest
ful sleep that makes life happy.
The medicine that in the past has done
such marvellous things for others. is the
kind you should use at this time.

HAeAN AFTER CROMWELL

The platform was read. and If he had
any objection to it. why did he not state
those objections?
