Mr.. E. H. Perkins, president, Pit
kins & Brooks, representing the crock
cry and glassware interests of Chi
cago, in speaking of his observations
during the present tour, sad:
Il have been greatly impressed with
the fact chat within few years the
people who have come here have ac-
cumulatel in buildings, banking capi-
tai, ELEVATORS, Touring mills, etc.,
what it has taken other communities
almost life time to get together 1t
seems to me that they have been ex-
tremely fortunate in striking the
country at the psychological moment
when there was gene1al prosperity
throughout the country and through
out the world; when ihe farmer all
over this country has been able to
secure an exceptional price for his
products; and coming into country
where the land is SO very fertile and
where it is capable of producing such
a variety Of crops that they have had
almost everything in their favor.
81 am also impressed with the cos
mopolitan character Of the popula-
ton. l have personally met in the
towns visited men from Wisconsin
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Texas and probably they arr
people Of more than average ability
and capacity, otherwise they woult

they were. But, having come into thi
| territory so highly favored in all it
; conditions, they have been able t.
: grasp the opportunities, and as l sal
before, to accomplish in a few year
what it would have taken a genera
tion to do in the older and less fav
ored sections of our country.
ITO sum it up, Oklahoma is yer
favorably situated to command tn
! interest Of large distributing point
such as Chicago, and with her naturs
resources furnishing so permanent
basis of prosperity, she is destined t

prosperous states in the whole cour

used by the United States government
on its lighthouses, buoy station and

on fight along the lines which has
just resulted in the Artman ruling.
These business men began to look
around for test case and picked the
application of Albert Soltau for a
license in the Tenth ward of Indian
apolis, which was filed Sbefore the
Marion county board of county COM
missioners at the January meeting,
1907. The license was granted. A
brief was prepared at once, and was
submitted to the legal lights of the
country, who made suggestions and
changes. In word the argument
was that inssmuch as the Supreme
Court had ruled that the saloon is a
nuisance the Supreme Court must
rule that the granting Of a license to
the saloon business is illegal because
the state is thus .legalizing immor'
ality.
In the Marion county case, which
was made the test case, Schuyler
Young and William Trefz, voters OF
the Tenth ward, filed remonstrance
to Soltau's application for license.
The commissioners overruled it and
the case was appealed to the Marion
county circuit court. An application
for change of venue was filed and
the suit was sent to Judge Artuan''
court.
In the opinion OF the liquor press
"this all important case will doubtless
not stop short of the Supreme Cour
of the United States.
