TWO JUDGES DISAGREE
Opinions Relate to Case Of ALI
eyed Usury

Muskogee, I. t., Feb. r3.-
Judge w. F. Lawrence, of the
Western district, yesterday prac-
tically reversed the decision of
Judge Raymond, his predecessor,
in connection with a case of alleg-
ed usury. He holds that the legal
rate Of 6 per cent interest when the
transaction is bound by contract
and the money lender charges over
5 per cent all interest charged
above 6 per cent is illegal and is
forfeited. Judge Raymond ruled
that when money was loaned at a
rate exceeding 8 per cent both
principal and interest was forfeited
According to Judge Lawrence's de-
cision, the law does not contem-
plate that the principal should be
foifeited in case usurious interest is
charged.

BANK STOCK
TRANSFERS
LARGE BLOCKS or FIRST NATIONAL
AND CEICKASAw TRUST co.
STOCK CHANGES HANDS
JOHNSON AND HIS FRIENDS
Retire from Trust Co. and Gilkey -Jarbos
Sells First National Stock


An important change in local
banking circles occurred yesterday
when a deal was consummated
whereby H. B. Johnson, president
of the First National, disposed Of
his stock in the Chickasaw Trust
Co. to H. L. Jarboe and the Gilkeys
and at the same time purchased all
the First National stock belonging
to the latter. Mr.. Johnson also
sold to Gilkey and Jarboe all the
Chickasaw Trust Co., stock owned
by his friends and business asso-
ciates.
The transfers of stock amounted
10 SIS shares Of First National at
$3.50 a share and about 1900 shares
Of Trust Company stock, which
also sold at a good premium. The
prices paid speak well for the gen-
eaal condition of the banking
business in Chickasha.
These changes are taken to mean
that the close relations that have
hitherto existed between these two
institutions have been dissolved.
A. S. Gilkey was one of the direct
ors of the First National and Mr..
Johnson was director iii the Chick
asaw Trust Co. and he and his
close business friends held large
amount of stock in the latter in
stitution.
1t is learned that no personal or
business differences existed between
Mr.. Johnson and the Gilkey- Jarboe
interests, but that the deal was made
in the most friendly spirit and for
the mutual advantage of the parties
concerned in it.

this session. The opponents of the
New Mexico-Arizona fea ature
claim acout IS republican votes in
the Senate for the Foraker amend
ment, which permits those territcr-
les to vote separately on accepting
joint statehood. 1t will require IS
republican votes with thecombined
strength Of the democrats to pass
the amendment. / believe Foraker
has IA votes.
Mr.. Hunter thinks the prohibi-
tion featrue which covers only In
dian Territory and the Usage res
eryation will remain as il il in the
House bill.
A telegram was received by Mr..
Hunter this morning announcing
the conf nation Of Abernathy and
Judge Burwell. He also confirms
the report as to his appointment as
clerk Of Judge Burwells court and
states that he will move to Oklaho-
ma City and take charge of the Of
fee about April /. This is perhaps
the best political job in Oklahoma
as the fees Of the Office amount to
about sIz, 900 a year. 1t is an ap-
pointment well deservep. Charley
Hunter was pioneer in Oklahoma
and for fifteen years has been prom
inently Unidentified with every inn

While he has had his residence in
Chickasha the past two years, his
property and business interests
have all been in Oklahoma and he
has been valient worker in his

ST. VALENTINES DAY

Today in accordance with Gus
tom that has prevailed since tn G
days when Imperial Rome ruled

vance, St. Valentines Day was OBJ
served. The custom Of exchang-
Ing letters at certain time of the
year, especially by younger people,
was practiced almo st from the first
establishment of the Roman En-
pire, but it was the death of St,
Valentine, in the third century, one
of the most beloved saints Of the
con- monwealth, that lent color to
the custom and confined the prac-
tice to a certain day, viz, the an
riiversary Of his death. OF late years
the Custom has been much degen-
Grated, giving way almost entirely
to the practic Of sending joculary

The Value of Publicity.

Nearly every month somebody cites
the danger of arresting justice
through publicity. The best detective,
however, is the honest newspaper
ever ready to correct it's mistakesj
The juror who does not read the
newspapers is the most dangerous
juror. AS a rule, you may safely trust
intelligent men to decide a case in
harmony with the evidence. The eff
fort to prevent publicity from invad-
ing the mind is like the effort to pro-
mote health by arresting the circula-
ton of ozone. When a newspaper
unfairly tries the case beforehand
and hangs somebody before convic.
ton, it makes friends for the ac-
cused. If a man is abused before
trial, he should be grateful; for I'M
warranted abuse is a boomerang. We
know of a successful man who says
that he is chiefly indebted for his sue
cess to his stupid enemies whose
ample rope gets about their own
necks. This world is promoted by
Its martyrs. The innocent can best
afford full publicity, says the Lewis
ton Journal Prejudice or misinfor-
nation are eliminated by turning on
the light.

From Lakes to Ocean.
H. S. GIvLER, Pub
KANSAS


The season of navigation on the II
terror waterways will soon end, and 1t
will be record breaker. Particularly
is this true of the great lakes and the
transactions on the Sault Ste Marie
canals. The figures for October
showed that 44,404, $50 tons of freight
had passed through the canals up to
that time, a quantity largely in excess
of any preceding year. The November
returns will bring the total to 50,000,-
600 tons, which will be gain of more
than IS per cent. over 1905 The bulk
of the business is done by the Ameri-
can canal. and the largest part of the
shipments is made up of ore from the
Lake Superior beds. These shipments
are certain to increase rapidly and in
definitely, for the development OF the
ore regions is going on at prodigious
rate, says the Troy News. Articles
other than ore are transported on the
great lakes and through the canals,
and will multiply in number and in
crease in bulk as the country grows
in population and advances in indus
try. The time must come when the
canals now in use will not furnish
sufficient outlet, and the west is in
tensely alive to that fact. The action
of the state of New York in appropri.
ating $101, 100000 to enlarge its
canals is regarded as a great step
toward improved water facilities, but
the west will never be content until
1t has a ship channel from the lakes
to tidewater, and that is why special
effort is now being directed toward
getting congressional approval and
national aid for the deep waterways
from Chicago to the Mississippi

The Slavery of Superstition.

There is no form of mental slavery
SO torturing as the slavery of super
stition, says Lillian Bell in Delineator.
We are fond of RELOCATING believers in
1t to the unenlightened, but few are
the men and women to-day who are
perfectly free from it in some shape.
And after all, what does it amount to
but fear? Fear of disappointment or
disaster. We spend our lives in the
shadow of a great fear. 1 feel no
scorn for the victims of superstitions
of whatever sort cherished, any more
than 1 would feel contempt for the ILL
treated child, which, when snatched
from the beatings to safety, flung up
its tiny arms to guard its face from
expected blows, at the slightest move
on the part of its new-found friends
But my heart is wrung with the same
sympathy for all unnecessary and in
applicable fear which is allowed to
torture and make miserable lives
which but for that would Do mostly
sunshine.

The auditor of state refused to reg
lister public improvement bonds for
paving issued by the city of Lawrence
to the amount of $4,000. The bond
issue did not comply with the law
governing second class cities. The
total amount of bonds issued by the
city for the pavement was $4,000. Of
this amounut $1,000 was for paving
between the intersections of the streets
and chargeab1e to the property own

for paving between the intersections
Of the streets and was chargeable to
the entire city. The law that only ten
per cent of public improvement bonds
issued by a city of the second class
to pay for paving shall be chargeable

The College Want. credit.

Prof Ten Eyck of the Agricultural
College has issued the following: In
connection with Secretary Columns
Thanksgiving Proclamation for Kan
sas,' it may not be out of place to call
attention to the work which the Kan
sas Agricultural college and Expert
ment station is doing to promote this
thankful feeling. Due largely to the
teachings of the Agricultural College
and the work of the Experiment sta
ton, thousands of farmers all over the
state are growing pure bred seed
corn, which by some reports of the
farmers, has outyielded the scrub
corn of their neighbor's two to one.
During the past three years the agron-
omy department has sold and distribut-
ed among the farmers of the state sew
eral hundred bushels of well bred seed
corn Corn judging has been made
prominent part of the instruction in
agriculture at the college and through
the Farmers Institutes, Corn Breed
ers' Associations and agricultural
press, the farmers have been well in
formed and greatly interested in corn

methods. which factors have without
doubt had much to do with increasing

seven bushels per acre for the season
of 1906, a year which has not general
ly been considered an extra good
corn year, and in fact a partial crop
failure has been reported in many To-
calities. 1t is true also of wheat, that,
with almost a crop failure in the cen
trail western counties of the state the
total yield of wheat is second TO larg-
est crop ever harvested within the
state and the average yield per acre
for the state is a bushel above the
average. More than one thousand bu-
shells of good seed wheat of the best
producing varieties have been distrf
buted by the experiment station and
better culture methods have been put
into practice by the farmers due part
ly at least to the teachings and ex-
ample of the Agricultural college and
