be at the city of Guthrie, in the pres
ent territory of Oklahoma.
The Conference Committee agreed
on the capital clause as it passed the
lower house by changing it from 1915
to 1913, with the following amend
ment: Provided, however, that the
legislature of said state, except as
shall be necessary for the convenient
transaction of the public business of
said state, at said capital, shall not
appropriate any public moneys of the
state for the erection of buildings for
capital purposes during such period.

New Jerusalem capital Of Oklahoma
| have many letters from leading men
of the state in reply to my Cannon
vile circular, endorsing the plan with
the assurance of their aid for help in
carrying out the proposition. From
the date OF their letters, and the edi-
torials Of the leading papers Of the
State and nation, to whom [ mailed
my suggestions, and the amendment
to the capital clause of the statehood
bill, should be sufficient evidence as.
to who started the ball rolling.
The first letter received was from
Speaker Cannon s secretary, and from
the contents of his letter, you will
decide he was pleased with the sug-
gestion, and that was the first sugges-

leading the fight for the New Jerusa-

scheme with an unnecessary load?
Cannonville, indeed! Not by

the name. [ am ready to help

good. When we succeed, then we can
discuss the name, and I'll bet you

A SUFFRAGE" STORY.

Gay. BY Helen NJ winslow With
Frontispiccc by Walter Dean Godbeck,
The Reilly Brltton Co. Publishers,
Chicago.
This is distinctly and avowedly a
suffrage novel. " 1t goes on the as
sumption that when woman votes women
wall be elected to important Offices, a
fallacy dIsproved wholly in the -four
- suffrage" States Of Colorado, Idaho
Utah, and Wyoming, where women In
office are about as scarce rs women
jurors, and where women arc expressly
excused by law from jury service.
In its arguments for woman suffrage
this work follows the usual lines, but
a lively fancy causes that to occur
which in fact never occurs-tth the ease
office where men fail utterly TO treat
correctly the great moral questions af-
fecting municipalities, large OF small. -
AS n matter of fact. there is no such
ease, aud no such turning to women
TO correct the evils; but strong, reso,
lutte, practical men are called into requi-
sition and entrusted with the work.
The story is quite rs much love,
story as q political panorama, how.
ever; and the woman who was so self
reliant, so independent, found it neces~
sary for her heart s happiness that her
chosen man should walk with her. 1t is
a vivid, well-told story, though utterly
wrong in its hypothesis that under wom-
an suffrage. women would be the chosen
in great crises, either politl-
.nl or moral

MARRIAGE ON AND OFF.

The point around which this novel
turns is the ancient Scottish law that
when a man and woman, both cligi,

the law regards them as such. In this
novel, however, as in other references
to that old law or custom, the rca-

A rich young American. engaged for
ten years to an English girl, goes over
TO marry her. On arriving rather be
latedly, through no fault of his own,
he starts on foot for the bride S home,
and meets such adventures as make
him seem tramp. He is picked up
by a beautiful French girl-woman, who
appears driving her black automobile,
the border Of Scotland. And here.
through the mistake Of the Scottish
landladv in entering their names, the
first link in the matrimonial chain is
fastened, But the lady is followed aud
