warmed (not boiled) in the double

GREER'S STATEHOOD NEWS;
THINKS END FAVORABLE

Guthrie, Okla, March 27. = Frank
H. Greer arrived in Guthrie from
Washington. where he has spent sew
eral weeks working in the interest of
statehood
1.-The fight is just as good as set
tied" Mr.. Greer said in discussing
the situation at Washington. Il can
not see any great obstacle that stands
in the way of statehood. and I look
for favorable action within very
short time.
1.-THE telegram campaign was effec-
tive Every congressman was de-
luged with messages from Oklahoma
people asking for statehood in any
way, shape or form. New Mexico and
Arizona people have taken up this
system of influencing congress. They
realize that joint statehood must come
now for the reason that if the bill
is killed it will require a long time
for the two territories to get in shape
for separate statehood.
eff the bill is reported favorably
from the conference, and 1 have ev-
cry reason to believe it will be, the
people of Oklahoma will owe a great
deal to Congressman Murdock, Phil
Campbell, Charles Curtis, of Kansas;
and Cassius Shartel, of Missouri.
These men have done more to help
Free press., 1906-03-31

the bill along than any western con-
gressman with the exception of Dele
gate Mcclure.
The position taken by the Kansas
City papers that if five congressman
from Kansas and Missouri had stay
ed with the insurgents last Thursday
the bill would have passed then, is er-
roneous. This action would certain
ly have meant death to the bill. The
parliamentarian of the house. Hines,
held that the school land miner clause
gave Speaker Cannon the power to
send the bill to the committee on ter
ritories. The bill would then have
been entirely in his hands, and if he
found his conference plans beaten he
would have at once referred the bili
to the committee on territories, where
it undoubtedly would have died.
''Congressmen Murdock, Campbell
and Shartel went to Speaker Cannon
and stated that they desired to stay
with the administration, but If in do
ing so it meant a defeat of the meas.
ure, they would go over to the insur-
gents. The speaker assured thep
that before congress adjourned state
hood would be a reality"
Mr.. Greer stated that the bill might
drag along for possibly thirty days in
the conference, but decision is GER
tain to be reached.

In 1898 the legislature was con-

In 1903 the legislature was con-

ception, will be generally considered

Il recognize the right of the people
freely to petition the executive in
case of this kind, but with all due re-
spect to these petitioners l cannot sec
in any one or in all of these four al
legged reasons a sufficient basis for the
exercise Of this executive function.
All these conditions which are sci

ures are of long standing. Other leg
islatures have had ample opportunity

Within the next nine months another

The last legislature was most admir-

upon the state. 1 believe more of its
members will be returned to the next
house than ever before in the history
of Kansas and l think the state can
with the utmost confidence trust the

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puuy, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their StomachS by haSty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages. or by too close confne-
ment to homo, Office or factory, and in con-
sequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectifY
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritivo aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from tho blood cer-
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the' remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians Of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge OF
the settlers and which arc now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigoratng
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden. Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cnerrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted With glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions. as in DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality - such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition = and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as a solvent and
usually the Doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
sOith alcohol
The ''Golden Medical Discovery is a
scientific preparation compounded of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
