ROBERTS
PASSES ON
QUESTIONS
important Opinions Are Hand
ed Down by Attorney
ABOUT BOOK CONTRACTS
They Are Illegal and Bind
Neither Party
ABOUT BOOK CONTRACTS

Guthrie, o. T., July 2.-Attorney Cen
eral J. c. Roberts today handed down a
number of important opinions at the re-
quest Of various Office holders through
out the territory
In answer to a query from Territorial
Superintendent Baxter it is held by the
attorney general that a district school
board has no authority under the Okla
homa law to contract with any book COM
pany for furnishing school text books
for use in that district. Such a contract
would be Illegal and would not be bind
ing neither party. He believes that un-
der the law school district board, pro-
vided the county has not adopted uni
form system Of text books, may adopt
such a system, but that it would be sole
1y at the pleasure of the board as to the
length OF time such a system should be
continued. There are no school text
book laws in the territory at present,
as Governor Ferguson vetoed the only
measure on that subject passed by the
recent legislature.
In answer to a request from j. ]. Hus-
ton, secretary fthe school land leasing
board. the attorney general holds that a
saloon ma ybe operated on school land
by the person holding a lease thereon, but
that no suitcase may be given by the
lessee to other parties for saloon pur-
poses. In answer othe governors ques-
tion as to how to abolish the saloon
from school lands, the attorney general
Instructed that henceforward in all leases
there shall be included a prohibitory sec
ton. This will be the rule.
]. ". Chism, register of deeds elect in
Grant county, is school land lessee,
and last fall was elected TO that oftlcce.
Ue must. therefore, reside In the county
seat. thus leaving his leased land. lie
desires to suitcase it during his term in
office. but under the Oklahoma laws no
sub-leasing goes. The attorney general
holds the law covers Oficeholders the
game as other people and Chism must
make a ne wcontract with the school
land board if he would suitcase the
tract.
Regarding the payment of interest on
school bonds, held in New York, City
judge Roberts holds that the county
treasurers in Oklahoma must forward the
Interest money as fast as it becomes
due and not await the arrival Of cou-
pons from the fiscal agency in New
York. The matter was brought to the at
torney generals Office by the governor,
who had been informed that county treas
urers were neglecting their duty in this
matter. thus injuring the credit of Ok
Iahoma in tho East. The treasureTs have
held that no momney is due until the
coupons are sent TO De taken up.
Dr. L NJ Bailey of Hobart has writ
ten the attorney general TO the effect
that there are numerous practitioners
of osteopathy in Kiowa county without
territorial license and asks what course
20 pursue. The attorney general has in
formed him to report all such instances
to the county attorney for prosecution
unless such practitioners shall appear be-
fore the state osteopath examining board,
as provided by law. and secure certifi-
Gates emitting them to practice.

RECORD OF THE PAST.
No Stronger Evidence Can

Look we'll to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Any one with a bad back, any reader suffering from urinary troubles. from any kidney ills, will find in the follow ing evidence proof that relief and cure is near at hand:
 MT. G. M. Myers. the well-known shoe maker of Winchester Avenue and 14th Street, Ashland, Ky, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are like true friends. the longer you know them the better they are appreciated. I can add nothing to the statement I first made in 1896 after procured the remedy at the Ventura Drug Co.,, and took course of the treat ment, which cured me. I was absolutely free from all backache for nearly three years, then I noticed a slight ache, as the result of a cold in my back. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills disposed of 1t. have recommended this remedy to many, and have never heard of one who did not endorse the claims made for it."

 The establishments of enlightened sani- tary measures has worked wonders in Havana, where there have been no cases at all of yellow fever, from September, 1901, to May, 1908.
 pr. Chaille gave the respective claims of advocates of fomites and mosquitoes. Some held that freedom of Havana from yellow fever was due, not to the exter- imitation of the mosquitoes. but to the rigid exclusion of imported cases.
 "The rescue of Havana from yellow fe- yer is due to the warfare on the mosdui- to- said pr. Chaille. "I was once an advocate of the fomites theory, but I am now converted to the mosquito dem onstratlon. which seems practical. The first cases officially reported are very often not the first cases that have oc- cured, because the physician will hesi- tate before being put before the public as an aiarmist."
 In conclusion, Dr. Chaille said that he sided with Dr. Carter, who wrote the best argument he has ever read on the injecting agency of the mosquito, in say- ing that the only vehicle of yellow fever Is the mosquito, and the fomites do not transmit the disease. The mosquito Is fact; while the fomites are an intangible, incomprehenslble hoodoo. The mosquito is probably the sole cause for dissemina-
