We acknowledge q pleasant
call Sunday froul James Fuller,
one of the gentlemen who have
purchased the Electric Light
and Heating plant. Mr..
Fuller is a typical Okla
homa boomer, and we
hope he will succeed in instilling
into the business circles of
this city some of the Oklahoma
spirit. In speaking of Okla
homa City, he said that when
any person stepped on the toe
of an Oklahoma City business
man, you stepped on the toe of
every business man in the city.
There the business men work
as ONE MAN for the upholding
of the city and in that way
have built up the largest city
in the world for its age. We
are glad to have a man like
Mr.. Fuller in the business cir
cles of the city.

An Abuse Of Power.

Attorney General Young of
Minnesota in speaking of Judge
McPherson's ruling on the two
cent fare law has the following
to say, according to the Mime
apolis Tribune:
GAS it now stands | am bound
by the constitution and laws of
this state, as we'll as by the
federal constitution, to enforce
the law, and at the same time
am restrained by the mandate
of a federal court from doing so.
If, when this matter comes to a
hearing on July s, an INDUCTION
is issued against me, this sove-
reign State will have lost its
Sovereignty, and your officers
will thereafter be accountable
for their actions, NOT TO YOU
BY WHOM THEY WERE ELEVATED
TO POWER, BUT TO THE FEDERAL
JUDICIARY. 1t must be plain to
the mind of the common citizen
that such practices are destruc-
tive of the very Fundamental
Principle of POPULAR GOVERN
MENT. If the States are in this
manner to be deprived of the
power to administer their own
laws they might as we'll be de-
prived of their power to make
them"

Regard Contracts Valid

Travelling passenger agents
for Chicago railroads who have
been in Sioux City during the
past week said the high officials
of their roads expected a de-
cision to be reached soon in the
case brought by the interstate
commerce commission against
the Monon railroad for viola
ton of that portion of the Hep
burn law relating to the ex-
change of transportation for
newspaper and magazine adj
vcrtising. These officials are
said to be confident that the
supreme court will rule that
these contracts are valid.
The passenger department.
for the Monon made these con-
tracts upon the advice of the
roads general counsel, Judge
George w. Kretzinger, of Chi
cago. Judge Kretzinger also is
general counsel in the United
States for the Grand Trunk
railroad, which also is exchang-
ing transportation for adver-
Using. George 7. Bell, general
passenger agent for the Grand
Trunk, has the following to saw
regarding these contracts:
"The contracts were passed
upon by Judge Kretzinger, of
Chicago, our general counsel
for the United States. AS he
is recognized as a good consti-
tutional lawyer it does not seem
that we have anything to fear.
The exchange of advertising at
the full card rates for trans
portation at full fare is a bus

value is exchanged on both

Geo. S. Parker TO Missouri
Valley, Iowa

Geo. S. Parker, the old reli-
able real estate dealer, informs
US that he has interests in the
electric light plant at Missouri
Valley, Iowa, which will take
| up his entire time and for the
present he will move to that
city to live.
Mr.. Parker is a fine business
man and a splendid citizen and
has a large circle of friends
who will regret to see him
leave Alva, but join in wishing
him every success in his new
home.
We wish to say in the way of
recommendation for Mr.. Parker
that he is an active man in
business and strictly honest
and reliable and a man that is
always ready to spend his time
and money in the upbuilding of
the town in which he lives. The
fact that Mr.. Parker has CON
|nected himself with the above
mentioned business at Missouri
Valley, Iowa, is an assurance
that it will be successfully man
aged and that city has good
cause to feel proud at securing
such a man as a citizen Alva,
Oklahoma, Daily Pioneer.
We took the following from
the paper in the town in which
MIR. Parker has lived since the
first building was erected, and
the people of that city are well
acquainted with him and show
their appreciation of the good
work he has done. We are glad
to welcome Mr.. Parker to our
town and trust that he may find
his work both congenial and
profitable. Mr.. Parker was ac-
companied here by Mr.. James
Fuller, who is also interested in
the electric light and heating
plant, but it is not definitely
| known that he will move here
as yet.

"Blotcky's of Onawa, were

was full of bargains. Blotcllys
are a firm that know the value
OF printers ink. They do not
regard the printer as an object
of charity but do business with
him in a businesslike way.
They have bargains and are
not afraid to let the people
know about them. There is no
doubt but what most of cur
merchants here could duplicate
the prices contained in the cir
cular but the trouble is the PEG.
