Nearly All of the Answers
Were Correct Last
Week.
MISS CLARA STOKES WON THE
DOLLAR WHILE MASTER MAX
J. HEINBERG, JR., GOT BOX OF
CANDY-A LETTER FROM FAR,
OFF DENVER.

Little Miss Clara Stokes, 3O4 East
Government street, is the winner of
that great and coveted dollar, for cor
rect answers to the puzzles of March
81. Master Max ]. Heinberg, Jr., city;
wins that box of Huylers candy, which
many of the little puzzle people would
rather win than that old dollar, which
mamma would not let them spend, all
at once, anyway The dollar may be
had by calling at The Journal Office,
, the candy by calling at the D'Alem-
kberte Pharmacy. There are few
pleasures more enjoyed by child
than opening q big box of candy which
is all their own.
The puzzle army did spendidly this
week in answering correctly, for
nearly every answer received was cor
rect.
In solving the puzzles the children
Will find that it facilitates matters very
much, If they will read carefully every
week Hurry -Harry's" letter to his
cousin In this letter a great many
places given in the puzzle pictures are
mentioned.
The puzzle editor feels called upon
this week to do a little scolding, and
the subject is some very ragged, badly
written coupons. Now the puzzle army,
every one of them, knows better than
10 send in coupons torn from the
paper with ragged edges hanging all
around them. Think of how ugly and
untidy they look, and how much bet
ter they would be had they been trim
med smoothly close to the black line.
All the little puzzlers who sent in
coupons of tbs character will not do
SO again. as the puzzle editor feels
that not one of them wishes to cult
,vate habits of carelessness and untidy-
\ness.
Y The correct answers to the puzzles
of March 81. are as follows:

We hereby express our allegiance
to the great principles Of government
advocated by the national democratic
party, upon which we believe the fu-
ture welfare Of this republic must
depend.
We reaffirm our allegiance to that
greatest living exponent Of democratic
principles, William Jennings Bryan,
and endorse him for cur presidential
nominee in 1908.
We emphatically demand the reason
able and proper control Of transpor-
tation and transmission companies and
the supervision and control Of all en-
terprises engaged in interstate COM
merce.
We favor the improvement Of the
waterways Of the Missouri valley and
the establishment ow water transpor-
tation wherever practical throughout
the Union.
We believe that the patriotic ele-
ments Of the republican party are no
longer able to control or influence
that great political organism. We be-
lieve that the machinery Of the party
has fallen under the insidious influ-
ence Of the great plutocratic power
and organized monopolies OF this ma
tion.
We denounce and condemn the ma
tional republican party for the lavish
use Of moneys belonging TO the peo-
Iple Of Oklahoma in the reclamation
service in other states, and pledge
Jour members in our national congress
to use their best efforts to require tht
Iclamation service to use the money be-
longing TO Oklahoma in Oklahoma.
We belive that the vast contribu
tions Of money by these special inter
ests have given such interests such
power over the republican party tha'
a remedy for national conditions un
der which the people suffer Is impos
Nble through that party.
We appeal therefore 10 every gcot
city who places patriotism above
commercialism, happiness and the vel
fare Of the great body Of our produc
. ling class above the enrichment Of tn
] flew; and who believe in local self-gov
! Iernment, To join US in holy crusad'

We believe the people Of this sover-
eign state should have the full meas
ure Of liberty enjoyed by the citizens
Of other sovereign states.
We believe that the various federal
bureaus established in this state
should be Immediately terminated and
that the basis Of this bureau govern
ment, the restrictions on the sale and
lease Of land Of our citizens, should be
removed surcmarily, except as to home
steads Of full-bloods; and we favor
the immediate settlement of all tribal
affairs and the immediate distribution
Of all tribal funds.
We believe that the estates Of those
mentally incompetent Of whatsoever
race, should be protected by our state
probate courts. We will take care Of
our own detectives Of whatever race
or color, and will not rely upon The
federal government to discharge this
proper function Of our own state.
Invested Capital
We believe that II is of the Creates
Importance to the development Of oul
new state to give perfect safety ant
assurance to invested capital, and tha'
where complete security is affordes
capital will gladly seek investment a
the lowest rates Of interest
We draw broad line Of distinction
between capital invested in honest en-
terprlses and predatory capital engag
er in tconspIracy against the proceed
Iof labor Of the American people. w
oppose the crafty corporations whicl
artfully contrive to destroy compe
tition and thus fix arbitray prices d
the necessities Of life, and on thos
things which ~ produced by our Owl
people We do not intend to encour
age predatory capital IN Siiis state. w
do intend 10 protect our people in tn
proceeds cf their honest labor. w
favor especial care Of the protection

boring people, such as the tradesmel

CoaI and Asphalt Lands

We favor the purchase Of the se-
gregated coal and asphalt lands at a
a fair price to be agreed upon by the
state authorities and the Choctaw and
Chickasaw governments, subject to the
approval by a vote Of the people Of
this state, before the contract Of pur-
chase shall become effective.
We favor the fullest development Of
such lands In the interest Of the
schools and charitable institutions and
the product OF cheap fuel for the peo-
pie Of the state.
We favor the immediate sale Of the
surface Of such segregated coal and
asphalt lands in small tracts to actual
settlers.
We strongly oppose the passing Of
the timber land and other natural re-
sources Of this state into the hands Of
the great monopolisz.

glass from the slylights and parti
tons. some beneath the desks Al
which they had been sitting second
before.
Not only from the banks quarters
but from all over the building came
cries OF terror and shouts Of warning
Men and women raced out through
both OF the big doorways Into Fourth
street, some fleeing for blocks In their
fright. Pedestrians stopped In amaze
ment as they heard the great boom"
and saw fugitiyes with bloody faces
and hands pouring from the building.
In the terrific explosion both Nc
Lear and the bomb-thrower were In
stantly killed. A negro messenger
named william Crump. who was try
ing 70 eject the stranger. had both his
eyes blown out and was fatally In
jured. A dozen or more employees and
patrons were severely hurt and the
entire first floor of the bank was
wrecked
The cashiers body was torn Limb
from limb. Both legs were blown OF,
one arm was blown from It's shoulder;
half the head was all that remained.
OF the bomb-thrower so little was
left that a waste basket contained all
that was later taken TO the morgue.
He was literally shattered 20 atoms.
The only thing that remained intact
about his body or his clothing wasr a
little brass name plate attached TO a
bunch OF keys, which was found near
a strip OF blue cloth that had been
part OF his trousers. Tho words "R-
Steele. Garner. Ia" were inscribed
upon the plate. Through this clew II
was discovered that the man was Rob
ert Steele. who had left the Iowa town
six years ago for the east, and had
presumably been living with a wife
and three children somewhere In this
city then. His Identity would probably
never have been known for the little
brass plate.

stranger had left only half minute
before throwing the bomb. escaped
serious injuries. but had seveNal small

and having stayed at home.

every department of the bank and
