THE AGENCY

Executive office Guthrie. Okla, Oct
q. is0S.--To me People Of Oklahoma
desire to call your attention to the
agency question as submitted to the
voters at the coming election.
This system is the logical outcome
Of the enabling act, and the constitu-
tional amendment, and is the only
practical law that the legislature could
formulate and conform to these laws.
That this system has been a sue
cess is demonstrated by the following
condensed statement made by Super
intendent Lozier, Sept /. 1908;
Amount appropriated .,.... $50. 10000
Amount used ........ 25.05195
Money on hand, money due,
fixtures, etc. ........... 22.4691S
Cost for enforcement tinelud-
ing aboye) ............s 2.5s2.77
Confiscated whisky on han 100000
confiscated beer on hand .. 100000
Total confiscated liquor . .s19. 10000
This showing taken in connection
with the fact that the open saloon and
its attendent evil, the saloon element
in party politics. have been eliminated,
and that these agencies have the in
dorsement Of Judge Eugene w. ChafIn.
Prohibition nominee for president, who
says:
u have studied the prohibition law
of every state in the Union and Okla
homa has the best prohibition law
ever written. You cannot do better
than to give it your hearty support"
And Of practically every church or
ganization in, the state, of many prom
inent party workers, including many
who have always been classed as anti
Prohibitionists. many Of our foremost
educators. That statistics prove that
drunkenness and crime Of all kinds
have decreased so per cent, and that
the agencies have proved a necessary
adjunct to the laws enforcement. cou-
pied with the knowledge that their
defeat will leave the state with no
provision whatever for the legal sale
of liquor for medicinal or scientific
prompts me to urge upon
you the necessity of faithful and con-
stant work for its adoption at the polls

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA splen-
did picture of America s fighting
strength on the sea was presented to-
day when the fifteen battleships of the
Atlantic feet, led by the magnificent
Connecticut, with Rear Admiral Charles
S. Sperry on the bridge, headed out of
the Golden Gate and bathed their bows
in the blue Pacific. In imposing array
they passed beyond the headlands, out
of the view of the thousands of cheer
ing watchers on shore and started fairly
on the long voyage through five seas
from San Francisco to Hampton Roads
"a striking demonstration of the power
and efficiency of the United States
navy.
Fifteen battleships were in the line,
divided into four divisions, and two
squadrons. In the first division of the
first squadron were the flagship of Rear
Admiral Sperry, the Connecticut, and
her sister ships, the Kansas, Minnesota
and Vermont This division, as well as
the entire feet is under the immediate
command of Rear Admiral Sperry. The
second division of first squadron, com
manded by Acting Rear Admiral Rich

STUDIES SURGERY
IN LEPER COLONY
Pittsburg Doctor Returns After
Investigations in the
Tropics.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
DR.. j. Chris O'Day, Pittsburg sur
geon and physician, who has recently
concluded trip abroad, where he has
been studying the disease peculiar to
the Hawaiian Islands and other tropi
cal possessions of the United States, ar
rived in San Francisco on Tuesday with
his family and took apartments at the
Jefferson Hotel. DIR. o Day spent some
time in the leper settlement on the
Island of Molokai observing the various
forms of leprosy, and says, while no
cure has been discovered for the dis
ease, modern surgery has done wonders
in relieving those suffering from the
dread malady.
"There is no disease of which so lit
tie is known, and which, at the same
time, is so thoroughly misunderstood, :"
said he yesterday. "Leprosy is as old
as history and has generally been be-
lieved to be the most contagious or in
fectious of sicknesses. The sight of a
leper has been enough to set whole
community into panic; whereas, as
matter of fact, the disease is very diff
cult to transmit The Settlement at
Molokai is much the same as any other
city, except that its inhabitants are
lepers. They marry and increase, but
the progeny of the Settlement do not
necessarily become lepers In fact as
a rule, they do not. They are healthy
and go out into the world the same as
other persons. The leper is isolated
more because of the unsightIy nature
of his disease than because of the dan
ger of transmitting it to others

CHIEF TAYLOR
RESIGNS POSITION

Chief of Detectives A. P. Taylor, it
is reported, has resigned from the po-
lice department, his letter of resigna-
tion having been presented to Sheriff
Iaukea yesterday. Mr.. Taylor will not
leave the department however until the
cases on which he has been engaged
viii have been tried, which will prob
ably be early in September.
Mr.. Taylor has been with the police
since January last year, during which
fine he has carried out the work faith
fully that he had pledged himself to
do, the suppression of open gambling
and the cleaning up of the town from
the criminal element. He considers
that his work is about done and that
he can resign from his position with a
consciousness of duty well performed.
His acceptance of the position as head
of the county detective force was due
to the urging of his friends and of the
Sheriff, and in spite of his own desires
to continue in his work as a reporter.
He will rejoin the reportorial staff of
the Advertiser when his police duties
have been concluded

PLANS FOR 4 CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE BUILDING

Tentative plans for Chamber of
Commerce building will be shown at
the meeting of that organization this
afternoon. The proposal that the Cham
ber of Commerce should have it's own
building was made at the last meeting
of the Chamber and went on the min
utes as something favorably considered.
Since the suggestion was made, those
who entertain the possibility of the
scheme most enthusiastically have gone
ahead to put their ideas as to suit
able building on to paper in the form
of sketch plans, which viii be sub
mitted today
A meeting of the Chamber had been
called for yesterday afternoon, but
was postponed until today because OF
the departure of the mail and the
necessity of the members staying at
their desks during the afternoon.
