ANOTHER SUIT FILED AFTER OLD GRANT
Katy Brings Suit Against the United
States for Millions ON Old Ter.
ritory Land Claim.

Washington, May 23-The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad company fled
suit against the government in the
court Of claims yesterday to recover
SCI, ,OOO0 representing the value OF
lands which the company claims in
Indian Territory.
This is a continuation Of the lefforts
of the railroad to obtain every alter
nate section of land for ten miles on
each side of the main line right OF way
through the Territory. The govern
ment offered such a grant with the
provision that the land should not go
to the road until it became public do
main.
The road claimed when the govern
ment opened the land for allotment
among the Indians iU became public
domain. The government denied this,
claiming the land wes simply being
divided up among the Indians and
was not then and never would become
public hand.
Kansas was made trustee in the
grant, and two years ago
Governor Hook permitted the use Of
the states name in suit against the
to SETTLE the controversy
The United States supreme court held
the governor had no right to DO so,
and dismissed the suit. ThegoVernor's
action was political issue ia Kansas
last year, when Che case was pending
n the United States supreme court.
The railroad now sues in its own
name, Joseph III. Choate, of New
York being its leading counsel.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION ASKED
AGAINST HOLDING ELECTION.
MANGUM TAKES A HAND
1t is Said Initiative and Reseren-
dunn is Attacked in New
Suit.

Guthrie, Okla, May 23-D. d. Til
ley, of Mangum, through his attor-
neys, filed suit in the district court
here Yesterday to enjoin Governor
Frantz, Secretary Filson, President
Murray or Secretary Young OF the
constitutional convention, from issu-
ing the proclamation for the election
on the constitution while IL contains
county divisions, the gerrymauder
and other Objectionable features. In
this suit the iniatiFe and referendum
is attacked for the first time as not
republican in form.
A suit involving the same points
was filed ia the supreme court Satlr-
day.
Virgil Hobbs, of Guthrie, former
Democratic campaign manager in
Oklahoma is one Of the attorneys for
the plaintiffs.
1t is understood that the attorneys
for WOodscounty will waive their adj

the appeal from Judge PancOast's de-
cision on the sitting Of the supreme
court in June. An original suit has
been filed in the supreme court in
volving all of the points touched upon
in the Greer and Woods county suits.
In hurried decision in March the
supreme court held it had 70 original
jurisdiction in the injunction cases,
but the attorneystor the old counties
believes there is good chance for
reversal. Similar suits have been
brought in the district court, SO the
only result from an adverse jurisdic-

would be o delay.
President Murray of the constitu-,

MEET
WILL DECIDE PARTY POLICY
AT OKLAHOMA CITY.
WILL HOLD TULSA CONVENTION
Many Leading Republicans Urge
Party to make the Campaign
May Defer Convention

Oklahoma City, May, 23-No less
than LOCO prominent republicans from
different lparts Of the two territories
are expected 20 arrived here today
to attend the called meeting of the
Oklahoma-IRdian Territory central
committee. At this meeting it is eK-
pected that the state convention will
be deferred until a later date than
June 6, which was originally intended.
1t was for this purpose that the meet
ing was called by Chairman o. L.
Hamon Of Lawton, while in Washing
ton. He recommended to the Repub-
licans OF Oklahoma that county con.
YentioRs be deferred until after this
meeting.
Another view Is also held Of the sit
uation. Some prominent Republicans
are advocating that it would be the
best policy to proceed with the Tulsa
convention, and in case it was thought
necessary to defer the Raming of a tic
Ret, to decide upon another conven-
tion. 1t is possible that this plan
will be adopted.
Several prominent Republicans ar
rived in this city last night and this
morning. Among these are j. A. Har-
ris. of Wagner, one of the twelve
apostles In the constitutional conven-
tion and Judge G. w. Raymond, OF
Muskogee. 1t is expected that as
many will be presentat the meeting
tomorrow as we're in attendance at the
meeting of the committee held in this
city, at which time such a strong
sentiment was in evidence against the
adoption Of the constitution.
Chairman j. l.. Hamon returned
home from Washington Tuesday and |
only stopped in Oklahoma City short
time on his way home. He arrived in
the city yesterday and arrangements
we're made for the meet ng today,
which will be held in che Threadgill
hotel.
The suggestion chat the place of
holding the convention be changed is
not considered very seriously, although
there has been sufficient cause for sore
less on the part of the state commit
lee. A thorough discussion of the
situation will comprise the business of
he session.
The arguments in favor Of deferring
he date Tor holding the state conven-
ion are the probability of the consti-
convention re-convenlng and
some of the alleged obnoxious
eatures Of the constitution, and the
l,ai decision in the Woods county in
JUNCTION suit by the supreme courtfof
he territory, which is expected about
une Is.
In case the decision rendered by
udge Pancoast is upheld by the su-
RENE court of the territory, it will
hen be absolutely necessary for the
to re-conyene and change
he county boundary provision, and in
ase this is done, it is confidently ex-
ected that the legislative apportion-
lent will be changed also, even if it
as to be done by an .insurgent move
lent.
1t is this idea that will cause the
tate convention to be deferred, and
rom present indications it is pretty
ertain that it will be.

THRIFT AND EcoNoMy.
Right Thinking Necessary to Great
est Success in Every Field of
Endeavcr@

Economy is one of the essentials to
success. 1t matters not how great
ones earnings may be, if there is no
pennies laid by, there viii be no
counting of dollars to your credit.
From childhood children should be
taught lessons of thrift, and the value
Of saving. There Is difference be-
tween economy and stinginess. Theirs
is an excess which defeats the aim,
and is the cause Of loss and misery.
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop
erly house his stock during the win
ter, is paradoxical. 1t is saving of
dollars and the Joss of dollars by the
saving. That so-called economy
which prevents the consuming of fuel
in winter, which results in a cold
house and s. cknGss in the family, and
perhaps a death, is niggardly stingi-
ness, which is criminal. It is the say
ing of few dollars in the coal bill,
and paying perhaps hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaken. There
is no economy in cheap things gen
orally. A bit of machinery that is
needed about the farm should be the
best. A cheap, poor moving machine
from some mail order house may
break down wien 1t is needed the
most, and a result is the loss of tons
of hay several times the value of a
| good machine. Poor articles wear out
rapidly, and are likely to give out
| at time when most needed, and are
a continual source of expense. A poor
| breed of stock is another illustration.
| Poor, bony horses eat more than well
bred ones, and the latter always find a
ready sale, while the raw-bones cannot
be disposed of at any price. The same
with hogs, sheep, and all classes OF
domestic stock. A poor lot of ami
mails should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
it is poor economy to keep them.
1t is in looking after the saving Of
a penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that IS the trou-
Bile with many. Savages have nc
| idea of economy. They cannot fore.
go small pleasure for greater one
little farther of. 1t is the ability
to think out these matters that makes
the civilized man superior to the bar
! barian. Think! Don't get tired oil
using the reasoning brain that q good
Providence has given you. The
secret of knowledge is in thinking, and
the power to make comparison. One
of the drawbacks of many schools is
the teaching, the examining of rules
and facts without combining with
them the Importance of cause and ef
feet. Teach one to think, and he viii
soon be person Of no mean knowl
edge. It is the thinker who wins in
life, and on the farm, in the workshop
in the store, anywhere and every
where, where brains are needed, yol
will find it is the active, keen ant
careful thinker who FORCES to the
front.

now there was well founded preju-
dice against long narrow houses he
cause the heat could not be driven
to the end rooms and nobody wanted
to build chimneys all in row down
through the house and set up sep
arate stoves wherever it was found
necessary, but that objection doesn't
hold against the small steam or hot
water heating plants that are now
40 common and the furnace man has
added 60 much to his knowledge that
he cap compete on equal footing in a
house of eight or nine rooms, and he
can outwit the others when it comes
to heating smaller houses.
Hot air furnaces are the most sani-
tary and the most economical for
small houses, both In regard to first
cost and subsequent attendance, be-
cause any woman can manage hot
air furnace when the men folks are
away and this coal bill is little If any
greater thar it is for the more ex-
pensive hot xater heaters and it is
less when measured up against steam.
When you have big house to heat it
will stand you well In hand to study
The different systems and hear what
the advocates OF each have to say,

INTERESTS ARE EQUAL.
Farmers Should Cooperate with Towns.
people in Work of Municipal
Improvement.

Among the many plans devised to
further the interests of small towns
and cities, and which has proved most
successful, is the commercial clubs in
which all business men of the commu-
nifty cooperate for the common good.
Organizations of this class are al
most a necessity in any town where
harmony is desired among the differ
emit business classes in the carrying
out of plans for town improvement,
securing the enterprises of various
kinds and the general good Of all In
the community. There is no reason
why these clubs in their membership
should be confined to the residents Of
the town. The farmers in the neigh
borhocd are as deeply interested in
the success of town enterprises as
are the business men of the place, or
at least they should be-. For what
will help along the town towards pros
perity will also help the farmer.
In many localities there is a senti-
ment that the interests Of the farm
er and the business men are not par
allel. It is necessary that this feel
Ing be obliterated as far as possible
because there is no logical foundation
for it. The better the town is the bet
ter the local market for the farmers
produce5 the more equitable will be
taxation and the better educational ia.
| cilities. All these are matters that
concern the farmer in the immediate
neighborhood of the town. Many
business men feel that membership
in clubs organized for promotion OF
| two industries should be confined to
business men; that perhaps the farm
er would not be In accord with resi-
| dents of the town in matters of public
| improvements. This is an error, a
lack Of confidence in the good iudg
ment Of the average farmer, who viii
generally realize how important the
home town is to him, and all his neigh
bors. Then the farmer sometimes
thinks that he is not welcome In an as
ISOLATION of business men, perhaps be
4 cause he has never been invited tC
take part in meetings held to discuss
matters pertaining to town affairs
There is no good reason why these
| sentiments should exist. It is only
| by a harmonious pulling together o.
the residents of the rural districts ant
the business men that the creates
good can be brought about for tht
home town.

RETIRING FROM THE FARM.
Attractions of the Town for Those
Who Grow Weary of Life in tho II
Country.

The majority of farmers after years
of toll and the accumulation of a COM
potency consider the time that they
can retire from the drudgery OF the
field and barnyard and live contented-
~ in town. Sooner or later many
Of them have their desires gratified
One Of the principal reasons why the
average farmer wishes to live away
from the farm is the advan-
tages that the town offers their
children in an educational way. Other
reasons may be the avoidance of the
monotony of milking cows, feeding
hogs, bothering with hired help, and
quite often physical breakdown on
account of too assiduous attention to
work.
Whatever causes may lead to the
REIMBURSEMENT If farm life for res
idence in the town, the truth is that
more than 80 per cent Of the success
full tillers of the soil seek a resting
place away from the farm. The towns
afford greater comforts, a life Of diff.
ferent environment that increases
longevity and sweeteEs life in later
years. It may be that the rural teIe.
phone, the rural free delivery, and late
innovations for home comforts on the
form may change the views of many
as to residence In town being desir.
able, and curtail the movement from
the farm to the town. The charge Ii
often made that farmers who retire
and become residents Of towns send
away money to the big city for goods
that they might as wen have pur.
chased at home, and thus keeps the
town from advancing. This Is not ell
ways true. Those retired farmers gen
orally become as much interested In
the trade and welfare OF the town a
those engaged in business in It "a
fact, every farmer should feel thai
the local town Is important to him
and that it ii TO his interests to helI
advance Is In importance.
