SAY IT'S seNseLsss FIGHT.

No more senseless fight was ever
begun than that carried on by what is
known as the insurgents in the iower
house at Guthrie II has failed igno-
Iminiously as anyone who has ever had
experience In political affairs knew it
must
One Of the most absurd of all the
charges and statements made by the
Insurgents Is that the committee on
public buildings is packed That Il
vas appointed for purpose. etc.
Whatever faults Speaker Murray may
have he is absolutely fair when 81
comes TO any matter affecting differ
ent portions OF he state He is one
OF the most unselhsh Of men when It
comes TO the use OF his position for
the furthering OF his own personal
ends
The public buildings committee is
one Of the best aud fmrest that could
have been appoited Tulsa may not
be recommended by them for a normal
school bur its claims viii be given a
fair and impartial hearing. The most
unsortunate thing about the whole
matter been influential with them and
with others have placed themselves in
2 position where they can do little or
nothing for Tulsa.
The people OF Tulsa and especially
he democrats who know Speaker
ifrray and the Legislature best have
al ays believed in their honor and
fairness. The mistaken action of a
certain few Will not be charged up TO

The democrats Of Tulsa are with
he mai rity OF their party the low

splendid record every department Of
the state government is making in
Guthrie. They are especially proud
Of the record Senator Yeager has
made. They are loyal democrats, es-
pecially when they have the best gov.

Kidney diseases are generally found
in persons whose blood is impover-
ished or impure, and whose nerves
have not sufficient power or force to
make the kidneys perform their prop
en- functions.
The duty OF tine kidneys is to filter
the blood, and when this fluid is filled
with uric acid and malarial poisons
they become overburdened with ex-
ira work. When the nerves are not
strong, they fail TO supply the power
to do this work; then the kidneys be-
come clogged and disease Gets in.
Kidney complaints usually commence
with cold ehills, especially IN the back
and loInss followed with feveg and
pain. The pain extends to the blad-
der, loins and thighs. The urine be
comes highly colored or extremely
light. 1t sometimes looks red or
blood-nke. with brick dust sedl-
ment after standing: or it may be
