Helnlnn Lonely Women.

Massachusetts has long held the
record of possessing the greatest pro-
portional surplus of women of any
state in the union. There are said to
be no less than 100000 spinsters and
widows in the Bay state who must
look out for themselves. and there
has been much discussion Of schemes
for their benefit and relief Recently
prominent business and professional
women OF Boston have organized for
the purpose of getting the state to aid
in purchasing small tracts of land, on
which lone women can engage in ag-
ricultural pursuits. The Women's s
Massachusetts Homestead association
intends to have its beenficiariea culti-
gate small plots and raise flowers,
herbs. mushrooms. strawberries, vege-
eables, squads, chickens, bees and pigs.
Cheap. comfortable homes will be built
on these plots, and necessary imple-
ments also will be supplied. A wealthy
New York woman stands ready to con
tribute 100000 to the project, ann a
Brookline (Mass) philanthropist has
offered to lend his Big farm for expert
ments along this Tine.

Guthrie, Okla. July IA. r There
seems to be determined effort or
the part of a certain class of partisan
newspapers to mislead the public con
cerning the referendum petitions OF
the Taylor election law
In the first place, the governor has
nothing whatever to do with the pro
ceedings up to date, and no one has
made any request of any kind for any
action by the governor
AS to the filing of these petitions
with the secretary of state, Mr., Cross,
the secretary OF state, has exercised
his own judgment without ever at any
time discussing the question with the
governor, nor asking the governors
opinion concerning the same. The
secretary OF state is thoroughly com
petent to manage his own Office, and
has certainly done so in every respect
to the great benefit of the people Of
Oklahoma
In the matter of the referendum pet
ition for the election law, there being
apparently a serious question in the
mind of the secretary of state as to
whether or not the proceedings taken
by the petitioners committee was in
accordance with the law, he rendered
his decision that passes the matter up
to the supreme court for final deter
mination, and in SO doing he has done
the petitioners an act Of kindness in
stead Of doing them wrong. The
petitioners themselves should certain
ly want to know whether their papers
were legally formed and filed before
the expense of holding an election
thereon should be incurred
Last year we voted on referen-
dun proposition (the dispensary law
first and learned later from the SUI
preme court that the question was IL
legally submitted. 1t Is good sense, af-
ter that experience, to test the legality
of proceedings before the trouble,
abor and expense of an election has
been incurred. and it only shows the
rood sense Of the secretary Of state to
pass these disputed questions UP to
he supreme court in the beginning
The petitioners have lost nothing
neither in time, money nor labor. and
ong before the time win arrive for an
election, the supreme court will have
lad time to finally pass upon the ques-
ion and remove all doubt as to wheth-
sr the petitions were legally formed
and fled
If the court decides the papers are
an right, then there win be an elee /
ton to vote thereon. with all danger
as to litigation after the cleo
ion.
II she court finds that the papers are
iot legally formed and filed. then The
referendum committee will have an
opportunity to correct their own er-
'ors before the expense and labor of
IN election has been incurred.
Now then. what criticism can there i
,e of the secretary of state? And in
lew of the fact that the governor has
lad nothing whatever to do with the
natter. what criticism can there be Of
lin?
The trouble is that there is a GER

BALLOT LAW TROUBLE.
Secretary of State in Quandary About
New Arrangement of Names.

The last session Of the legislature
amended that section of the primary
law relating to the arrangement of the
names of candidates on the ballot so
tnat the person whose name begins
with any one of the first letters of the
alphabet should not have any advant-
age over the person whose name begins
with any one of the last letters of the
alphabet. And hereby hangs tale of
trouble for the secretary of state and
his office force whose duty it is to GER
tify to the primary ballots.
Under the old law the names of the
candidates for any certain office were
placed one under the other in alpha
betical order with relation to the sur
name. This gave a distinct advantage
to the person whose name happened to
begin with or B or c over the fellow
VINO was unfortunate as to have name
beginning with or w. To remedy this
the legislature last winter amended the
law so that the secretary of state must
arrange the state and district ballots
by groups of counties. dividing the state
district into as many groups by coun-
ties as there are candidates for each
office. For instance, if there should be
three candidates for L state office the
secretary would divide the los counties
of the state by three and place A at the
head of the ticket in third of the
counties. at the head in the other
third and at the head in the remain
Ing group
With three or four state tickets to
prepare and possibly six or eight candi-
dates for soma offices the work of the
secretary will not be very easy. Then
there is all the district tickets where
only two or three counties comprise
district. If there should be four can
dfdates for judge in a district comprised
of two counties the county clerks would
have to make groups out of the town
ships and prepare the tickets so that
each one of the four candidates would
head the ticket in one fourth of the
townships
The state canvassing board meets
after the nominations have closed June
q to pass upon the eligibility of the
candidates Then by August 1 the sec
rotary must certify up the tickets to
the los counties under the new group
system. This will be big Job and
complicated one.
Secretary Denton's idea last winter
when the legislature had the matter up
for consideration was to have the can
didates determine their places on the
ticket b. drawing lots.

RATES ARE TOO HIGH.
shippers of Citrus Fruit File Complaint
Against Railroads.

Washington, Dec. 20.-In a COM
plant filed today with the Interstate
commerce commission the freight
rates on citrus fruits from Pacific coast
points to other parts of the United
States are declared to be excessive, ex-
tortionate and unduly discriminatory.
The. COMPLAINT requests the commits
sion to reduce the rates charged by
the Interstate carriers on all citrus
order declaring that the present rat es
on lemons shipped from California,
Nevada and Utah to other parts of the
country are reasonable. The complaint
was filed by the Arlington Heights
Fruit exchange of California and about
one hundred other producers and
growers of citrus fruits, against the
Southern Pacific company and 495
other carriers.
In respect to the number of carriers,
made defendants in the proceedings,
the complaint is the largest ever pre-
scented to the interstate commerce
commission. IL includes all of the i'm
portant systems and lines in the United
States and approximately fve-sixths
of the entire interstate mileage of rail-
ways.
Some time ago the railways an
nounced their intention of increasing
the rates on lemons from California
points, making them the same as on
oranges and similar citrus fruits The
growers assert the proposed increase
of Is cents hundred will cost them
100000 year and practically would
put them out of the lemon growing
industry.

a third man who, was Crap
ping with Golden.
Golden freed himself and fired at
the half stunned man as he rose and
turned to run. The robber fell with a
bullet in his size. One of the others
recovered his senses and fled. When
Golden and other watchmen returned
from a vain pursuit they found Mrs.
Golden standing guard over the I'M
conscious man and threatening with
her club the wounded burglar who was
attempting to rise.
