The people Of Oklahoma have spoken
anent the liquor dispensary in no uncer-
tain terms, and the legislature when it
meets in January will at least know what
majority of the voters think of the state
saloon. The enabling act under which we
were permitted TO organize state i'm
posed. or sought to impose prohibition on
this country for twenty-one years. The
constitutional convention. among its first
acts, recognized the enabling act as bind
ing upon the state. Now, to keep faith
with the government and maintain our
self-respect, we should at least make some
Legislative provision to enforce that obli-
cation The Legislature should pass an
act in strict accord with the spirit of the
enabling act, The Billups bill was al
variance with both the enabling act and
with practical common sense.

has not been by accident. but by the per

The cry Of graft that has been hurlod at

charge Of graft comes from those who are

public or private. and will not be needed

A few minutes later Mrs Fagin heard a faint cry coming from the pew where the wom- an had been in prayer and found the infant. There was note pinned to the clothing which read:
 This baby is Catholic. hope it's blessed mother will watch over and guide it through this world. It Is two and one-half weeks old, and its name is Nary

 One week from tonight the AL gonquin club will entertain their many friends at Buckingham Music hall where they will hold their dance for which they have been arranging for several weeks. A large number O. tickets have been disposed of and the members are now assured that the event will be big success. Special music will be furnished for the occasion by Galipeau's orchestra. A short musical concert will be furnished before the dance order is started.
 The annual dance of the Hamilton Park Athletic club will be held at Buckingham Music hall on Wednes- day evening, November 4 The club members expect to surpass the ef- forts of previous years when their events were successful in every way. A few years ago the club was hold Ing Its annual dance at Hamilton hall. The attendance was larger at each succeeding dance until the club was compelled to go to Leavenworth hall because of the number of tick cts sold. Last year the club enter tained at City hall and their dance was so we'll patronized, they have every reason to believe that the com ing event at the Buckingham will be their biggest yet.
