COUNCIL
REMOVES
OFFICERS

At the special council meeting held
yesterday afternoon for the purpose Of
taking action in the matter of the
charge against Policeman Killion and
Fireman Taylor, made by Joe Drake
the police committee and fire commit
tee each presented their report stat
ing that they had made an investiga-
tion and recommended that the Off
GERS both be removed.
Mr. KilIion was represented BY At
torney Riddle and Mir. Riddle urged
the council to not be too hasty in
their action; that the charge made by
Drake had not been corroborated by
any other witness: that by his own
confession Drake was guilty OF bur
glary ana that his testimony alone
should not be sufficient TO remove an
officer. and though the accusation
might be false, as he believed II was,
tl dismiss from service officers IN
der these circumstances would be very
unjust, inasmuch as the community
would look upon them as in sense
guilty.
City Attorney Herr also stated to The
council that on brakes testimony
alone the higher courts would not en-
terrain an action against the accused
officers
Alderman Coffman, as a member Of
the police committee which had made
the investigation in the case OF Kill
hon. stated that he had preferred to
have Mr. Killion suspended for fur
ther investigation. but that Killion in
sisted that he either be retained Or
dismissed outright and in that case
Mr. Coffman had signed the report
with the other committeeman, Petty
and Hale.
Alderman Petty explained that no
charge was placed against Mr.. XII
lion in the report, but feeling that for
the good Of the, service they ought not
to keep. on the payroll any officer
against whom there was any accuse.
ton Of wrong.doing, they had recon-
mended the removal.
Mayor Edwards also explained that
while he regretted the circumstances
and himself put little faith in the ac-
cusation as coming from Drake. he
felt that the matter ought 10 be dis
posed Of in one way or another; that
II was one OF those unfortunate cases.
IN which investigation was almost
useless for il was a case Of one mans

council should take a yes" and no

result was recorded on the Taylor re-

sent and not voting
After the affair had been terminated,
the fact was developed that Ixillion
had never been regularly appointed on
the police force. He had last summer
heen selected as guard to work the
chain gang at 50 per day and from
this he had in some way come to be
recognized as poIiceman--with al

Guthrie. Okla, Dec. Strongly
intimating that some Of the provisions
OF the Oklahoma text book law are un-
constitutional. but refusing to give a
formal opinion to that effect in ad-
vance OF a decision by the court, At
tcrney General West yesterday advised
State Superintendent Cameron against
enforcing some of the features of the
law too rigidly.
The superintendent had inquired IN
regard to the legality of the use by
school districts Of wall maps which
they already owned at the time the
text book law was passed. After quot
ing the provisions of the law. which
seem to prohibit the use of any books
or apparatus except such as are
adopted by the text book commission,
the attorney general advises that I'M
less a test suit be brought in regard
to this question the superintendent
should leave the matter in abeyance
until some action can be taken BY the
legislature "and to refrain from at
tempting to impose the rigid conditions

HONDURAS

TOHN BULL, the leading interna-
tional pawnbroker, has been
~ "stung" at various times by frivo-
lous debtors, who could not see the
force of paying their debts to a pre-
posterously rich nation, which really
did not need the money, while the poor
little debtors did. The appearance of
a British gunboat with bill is undig-
nified to say the least. In social life
it is not customary to collect debts at
the point of a revolver, though per-
haps there may be creditors who
would gladly avail themselves of sucn
a privilege, and perhaps there may be
debtors who would be more amenable
to honor and reason if these high abb
stract qualities were materially sup
ported by a battery of six shooters.
However, it has become customary
for nations to Ego after" repudiating
debtors with ships and guns.
The government of Honduras has
promised to pay Great Britain 100000
annually for forty years. Those who
contend that a national debt is boon
and a blessing and a stimulus to ex-
ertion will now have an opportunity
to see their pet theory put to the
proof. The discipline of making the
annual payment on time should have
a most salutary effect. Honduras will
have to hustle, and may hustle itself
into great Industrial prosperity.

GOOD ADVICE

BULLETIN of the state board of
III health urges the public to beware
IA of f1eas and to get rid of them.
1t is foolish to wonder where the f1eas
come from when no pains are taken to
get rid of them. Domestic animals
should have no place in the house I'M
less washed with strong soap and wa
ter. Rats and mice should be de-
stroyed. Carpets should be thoroughly
cleaned twice a year, whether by the
old-fashioned way, which is to take
them up and beat them, or by using
a suction machine.
Floors and baseboards should be
washed and scrubbed with some insecti-
eide strong enough to kill both the
mature flea and the larvae. There are
petroleum products that will do this
and are harmless. The health board
advises the public to remove from base
ment or cellar accumulated waste.
Fleas are an ever present source of
danger. They carry plague from rat
or squirrel to man, and other COM
municable diseases may also be carried
by them.
The board of health urges that more
care should be taken as to the cleanli-
ness of churches, schools and theaters,
which may be especially dangerous,
because they may be rat infested.
They should be cleaned and disinfected
often for the purpose of killing the
insects and diseases.

WOMEN AND TARIFF

NV OMEN are opposing the proposed
wv raise in tariff rates, especially on
underwear and hosiery. They
are also fighting the proposed increase
in duties on gloves. Thus once more
we see the tariff is largely question
of human nature. These good women
would listen with apathy or with only
feeble interest to tariff discussions re-
lating to a thousand and one articles
of trade, manufacture and merchandise;
but one little stocking with a disagree
able duty on it brings home to them
with overwhelming force the fact that
the tariff is a tax.
Womens clubs in various parts of
the country are taking action by pass
ing resolutions protesting against eX-
tortionate duties in the proposed
tariff bill, and the attempt to
tax womens wearing apparel will
add unexampled fire and fury to
the campaign for female suffrage. Now
indeed. will the standard of revolt be
raised, and from Maine to California
the cry will ring: mo taxation without
representation"
What can man say when put on the
defensive with regard to the special
taxes on articles used only by women?
If it is not taxation without representa-
ton then WHAT'S it? To be sure, some
one might say the wifes stockings were
sufficiently represented by the hus-
bands socks, but what about the ladies
tn
matrimony? Are they to receive no
consideration?
There are many portentous signs Of
a general uprising of the women of the
land. Woman's Rights societies are be-
ing formed, and the clubs already in
existence are recruiting many new
members. 1t looks as if the organiza-
ton and union of the women's clubs
of the United States would result
in what will be to all intents and pur-
poses a womens political party, for
midable by reason of numbers and
wealth. At last man, proud man, VIII
be humbled. He will bow his crested
head and tame his heart of fire and
sue for the feminine vote. The day is
at hand when the rejected sutton
anxious for political ambition will no
longer hear the words: mo, George
but L will be a sister to you" On his
ear will fall with soothing JUNCTION
the flattering dismissal: mo, George
but when you run for office 1 will vote
for you" All of which goes to prove
woman's woman for a. that.
