DEMOCRATIC TICKET
For United States Senate Gov. J. C. ". Beckham

A large per cent of the people
are not aware of the fact that
the President has ordered the
minis to discontinue the irscrip-
ton on American gold coins, In
God We Trust" and a large per
cent will disapprove of snch ac-
ton. Why it is that Mr.. Roose-
welt cannot live within the limits
of all his worthy predecessors and
the sacred sentiment of our coun-
try can not be explained unless
it is the>promptings of an inordi-
nate desire to do something to
boost fame, and distinguish him,
the Great of the Greatest in the
history of American Executives.
His plea that the motto is sacre-
ligious, will not stand the light
of reason, nor appeal to the great
body of American people. From
the landing of the Puritians,
through the trying period of CO.
lonial times, in the carnage of
Indian warfare, when the Decla-
ration of Independence was pre-
pared, signed and published to
the world, and on the blood
stained fields Of the Revolution,
every American patriot did his
duty under the inspiration of I'm
God we trust" 1t was fitting,
it was natural, it was right for a
government coming into exist
ence like ours, to place on its
coins the motto that had actu-
ated it's founders, sustained them
through the trying ordeals Of
many decades that took more
than human power and guidance
to accomplish. 1t was this spirit
that placed that inscription on
our coins, and it has remained
there unmolested, down to the
present reign of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Instead of the motto being swept
from our coins, it should have
been added to the American flag
to float in the breeze of every
cline, where the stars and stripes
carry our commerce, civilization
and religious teac hin gs. The
coins will not look right they
will not be in keeping with the
tremendous sacrifice made to es-
tablish them with this motto
gone. Mr.. Roosevelt is the man
who sought to thrust upon the
country a change in our spelling,
and the people pitched it back to
him, and now he sweeps from
our gold coins the motto that has
adorned them from the begin
ming of our government. No.
man, nor set of men should alter,
amend or obliterate that sacred
Inscription without e mourning the
open disapproval of the5Apeople.

1t was clearly shown that she had been
an accomplice of Mailer In the theft OF
goods from the establishments of Her.

Schmidt testified positively that he saw
Mailer steal several bottles of cordials
and a bottle of whiskey and hand them
to the woman, who placed them in her
muff.
When they Were detained in the store
and informed that they were going to
be arrested both the man and woman
pleaded to be allowed to go by paying
for the goods. "They said 1T was their
first offense, and that they would not
steal any more said Mr.. Schmidt.
1t was this theft from Mr.. Schmidt's
store that was the undoing of the

reasons might apply equally to the high

THE PRESIDENT
USES BIG STICK.
Notifies Oklahoma That Non
Railway Protection Must Not
Appear in Constitution.
OKLAHOMA is DEMOCRATIC
But if Fight Is Made on Presi-
dent Congress Will Take
a Hand.
lFrom Our Regular Correspondent J

WASHINGTON, d. c.. January eS-
President Roosevelt has outdone him
self In the matter of diregard of State
lines and of the line of demarcation be-
tween the executive and judicial branches
of the government
1t was learned to-day. that he has sent
word to the trainers of the Constitution
for the new State of Oklahoma that If
they put into the organic instrument a
provision which prohibits railway COM
pailies from employing men TO protect
their property from the violence of strik-
ers, he should use all the power at Ills
command to prevent the acceptance of
the Constitution by Congress.
The President went further and told
Delegate Mcguire, of Oklahoma, who
ton to-day. that he could take the mes
sage to the constitutional convention OF
Oklahoma, now in session, that 1t could
be regarded as ottictal'
It Is learned that the committee on rail-
roads of the constitutional convention has
reported in favor of putting into the
Constitution a provision of the character
indicated but that 1t has not yet been
voted on by the convention.
President Not Popular.
It is said here tonight by some Of the
Texan members of Congress that the mes
sage of the President will not have much
effect on the convention; in fact. that
it will probably cause the convention to
take core radical action than would
otherwise have been taken.
Oklahoma is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic and the Democrats are in un-
disputed control Of the convention.
The President is not popular IN the
confines of the proposed State. owing
to the fact that he tried to make the
admission of Oklahoma conditional upon
the action of Congress on the PROPOSE
tion to admit Arizona and New Mexico
as State. The Senate defeated this
proposition, but the Oklahomans have
neither, forgotten nor forgiven. How
ever, as the President and Congress will
have the last word on the Constitution
it might be well for the trainers of the
Constitution to curb their tempers and
yield to the menace Of tho big stick. 1t
would be much easier to amend the Con-
stitution after the State is admitted than
to meet again and draft Constitution in
the place OF one which was rejected by
Congress-.
Disfranchise Negro.
Oklahomans. and especially the citizens
of that portion of the proposed State
embraced within the Indian Territory,
have been inslstent that the Constitution
contain suffrage clause modelled after
those Of certain States OF the South,
which practically ,dlsfranchise the negro,
Conservative Democrats have urged the
Constitution makers to refrain s-om put
ting into 7the Constitution any provision
which would endanger the chances Of the
State for admission to the Union when.

Friction Arises Over Agitation
for Increase in Salaries-What /,
Mr.. Harwood Has to Say
About Matter-Fig-
ures by School
Board.

According to reports current in many
sections of the city. considerable friction
has developed among the public school
teachers of Richmond over the agitation
of an increase of salaries, the differences
arising chiefly, 1t is said, over the sup
position on the part of some of the dis
trict school teachers that tho movement
is being engineered to the disadvantage
Of themselves ard the benefit OF the
High School teachers
Reference to the matter, II IS under
stood, was made at the Joint meeting Of
the Finance Committee and the School
Board on Friday night. Representatives
of the High School scout the idea OF any
desire on their part to antagonize the
district teachers. In this connection. Prin-
cipal James G. Harwood. Of the High
School. gave out last night the following
statement of the occurrences before the
board and the committee and of the atti-
tude of the teachers Of his school:
'At the hearing of the School Board
and others Interested in education be
fore the Finance Committee on FRI
day evening a sudden and unexpected
attack was made upon the teachers
of the High School.
This was the more unexpected aS
the criticisms came from the represent Y
tatives of the Teachers Cooperative
Association, OF which the High School
teachers are also members
1T was intmated that the High
School teachers are overpaid and was
directly stated that the teachers In
that school had less work to do. and
that the work was not as efficient
1T was impossible so late in the
evening for the High School teachers
to answer these charges. The menl-
bers of the Finance Committee were
anxious to get away, and the only
representative of the High School
teachers, who had been invited to be
present and speak on another sub
ject than that OF salaries. did not think
1t prudent to prolong the session OF
the COMMITTEES. The High School teach
ers have the approval OF the School
Board in their request for increase OF
pay and 1t was not their purpose to
appear before the Finance Committee
They feel compelled, however. to an
swer the charges that have been
brought, and will ask hearing from
the Finance Committee next week for
this purpose.
Even now. however, 1t Is not their
purpose to attack the salary schedule
offered by the board for the elemen-
tary teachers They nope that the ele-
mentary teachers may get the increase
desired. Their only regret is that
the zeal displayed by their colleagues
should have led them so far astray."
