What They're Doing 10 Hadley

Missouri's Democratic Senate is
utterly damning the Missouri
Democratic party in it's insane
determination to prevent the EN-
actment of measures for the re-
lief of the State, .solely because
they emanate from a Republican
Governor, Hadley. Democratic
legislators it was, who fostered
the prohibition movement in this
State to punish the St. Louis
brewers for the city's going Re-
publican. Democrats at Jefferson
City care not what public or pri-
vate interests they jeopardize or
cripple, SO long as, in doing so,
they fake up a case against Repub-
~licans. They should remember
the Biblical warning about the
digging of a pit for another. Gov
ernor Hadley is right in every
thing he recommends and in most
of the things he opposes. He is
particularly right in his recon-
mendations as to taxation to
meet needed revenues, in his plea
for the enaction of a liquor tax
from social clubs and he is
splendidly right in his refusal to
accede to a practical surrender OF
State sovereignty over the large
cities under statutes that are de-
signed SO to operate as to give the
cities owe to control of combina-
tions of the worst elements of
both parties. Governor Hadley is
as near a Democrat as a Republi-
can can be, the sort of q Demo
cratic Republican that Lincoln
was. The Legislative members Of
a party calling itself Democratic
are stultifying themselves in try.
ing to obstruct him in his efforts
for the common good. If they
continue in their course they will
succeed only aEin discreditin G
Herbert S. Hanley to the >extent
of making him the next Repub
lican nominee for the Presiden
of the United States.

THE Democratic leaders are no

THE Democratic leaders are now
very busy predicting great Demo
cratic victories in next State and
National elections. When you
recall the absurd predictions
handed out by these same proph-
cts, just a day before the last
National and State election s, you
will be able to estimate their pres
ent claims OF future victories. The
whole lot of them proved them
selves "bum prophets" in '0S.
There is no reason to suppose
that they are wiser now. Even
the night after the late Congress :
ional election"Free Trade Champ
Clark announced from his home
at Bowling Green, that he had
carried this district by about
1000 majority. AS a matter of
fact he carried the district by a
little over 1900 votes. A loss
from the preceding election of
about 1000 votes. Democrats
have a way of winning their vic
tories lin their minds) years and
months before the elections occur.
When the returns come in after
the elections they have little to
say.

MUCH is being said by Shoe
Manufacturers in this state and
throughout the United States,
about the necessity of placing
hides on the free list in the tariff
bill that is now under considera-
ton at Washington. They offer
many plausible arguments in
support of their demand. During
the session of the Missouri Legis-
lature just ended, Senator John
L. Bradley introduced what be-
came known as the "Pure Shoe
Bill" and through the influence
of Shoe Manufacturers it was de-
feated. Now the question is, are
the shoe manufacturers, who de-
feated by their influence, the
"Pure Shoe Bill" in the Missouri
legislature, the same ones, who
are demanding that hides be put

EVERY measure promised by
the Republicans was enacted by
the Republican house, and every
party pledge was fulfilled as far as
it was possible for the Republicans
to perform it. They could not
compel a Democratic senate to
adopt Republican measures, or to
be loyal to the people.

Jefferson City, May is, 1907
The Forty Fifth General Assembly
has Adjourned. The record made
by the members and senator can
not now be changed. Some of
them will sincerely wish to change
their record before they get done
with public opinion, especially the
opinion OF the voters who sent
them here; but others of them will
take pride in their achievements ,
for some have achieved good for
their constituents and for the
state. The Republicans have not
been as successful in legislation as
they might have been. Although
handicapped in many ways, they
have done we'll, everything con-
sidered. The governor is not as
we'll pleased with the net results
of the session as he would have
been had the Democratic senators
been more liberal and statesman
like, but he is not fretting in the
least and has nothing to fear from
results of the policy pursued by
the Democratic.senate. 1t can be
truthfully stated that the senate
has greatly injured the prospects
of the Democratic party, which
the governor is not regretting as a
Republican executive, although he
sincerely regrets it as the govern
or of the great state of Missouri.
While the course pursued by
the senate will make the Republic
cans stronger, it will not rebound
to the immediate good of the
state. 1t has been clear from the
beginning that it was the purpose
of the Democratic senate to en-
barass the governor as much as
possible, and to withhold from
him legislation calculated to
strengthen his position as the
chief executive or to aid him in
carrying out the promises made to
the people during the campaign,
Playing small politics at every
opportunity, certain Democratic
senators have made a record with
which they and their party will
have to go before the people in
the next campaign, and there il
nothing in it to commend them.
They have been disloyal to the
state and unfair to their own par
ty. From time to time their record
will be spread before the people
through the Republican news
papers of the state, and there will
be no concealment.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
0Br rHB COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT o

The next regular teachers exa-
minatlon (for first, second and
third grades) will be held at the
court house on November Irth
and 18th.
Lately on entering several
school rooms in the mornings we
have noted unmistakable eviden-
ces that the rooms had been swept
just prior to the calling of school.
This should not be. The school
room should be swept and thoro-
ly aired out in the evening SO that
it may be in a sanitary condition
for the beginning Of work in the
morning. Air laden with germs
and dust is very injurious 10 the
child and very pleasant.
Teachers are requested to re-
port to the office the names of pu-
pills between ihe ages of eight and
and fourteen years who are not in
school by the time school has
been in session two weeks. Pa
rents and school officers should
bear in mind that under the law
no pupil between the ages of eight
and fourteen years, unless he be
sick, has a right to be absent from
school without the written consent
of the schc oil board.
Independent school, No. 2, has
installed modern heating and
ventilating plant. No doubt, the
patrons will find this one of the
best investments they have ever
made. A new root and wood
house are among the improve
meents. Miss Charlotte Bussey
who has charge of this school is
doing exceptionally good work.

new roof, new plaster and a new

NEW TOWNS FOR
THE OSAGE NATION
Legislation Permitting osaees to Sell
Their Surplus Lands Makes
Town-Building Possible.

Washington, Mar, 6.-There will be
several new towns, and good ones,
too, spring up in the Usage nation as
the result of the legislation passed
during the closing days of congress
permitting the Osages to sell their
surplus lands.
J. W. McCloud, general solicitor for
the Midland Valley railroad which
runs through the Usage nation, says
there will be two and possibly more
new towns on the Midland Valley.
one of these will be northeast of Big
heart, and another will probably be at
Avant, which is between Tulsa and
Pawhuska.
There will be new townsites on the
M, X. & r., also. One of them will
be at Usage
One of the most interesting situa-
tions will arise at .,elogany. This
is the crossing of the NJ, K & T. and
the Midland Valley. There is no town
there except what is on a right of way.
The new legislation will make it pos
sible to lay out a townsite which will
be done. 1t is railroad junction
which gives it great advantage. But
Nelogany, is only seven miles from
Pawhuska, and the people of Pawhus-
ka, and the Indians who live near,
are very anxious to prevent new
town springing up at Nelogany, for
fear it will retard the growth of Paw
huska The NJ, X & T. refused to
build into Pawhuska which gives Ne
longany the advantage of two rail
roads while Pawhuska has only one,

ADAIR VISITED
BY BURGLARS
Three Stores Entered Last Night And
Cash Drawers Rifled of Small
Sums.

Adair Okla, Mar 6.-(Special.)
Burglars entered three stores at Adair
last night and riled the cash drawers
of between nine and ten dollars.
The stores burglarized were: Owl
drug store, ID. s. Cumming hardware
and general merchandise. A new black
frock overcoat and a pair of red kid
gloves at Cummings was all the mer
chandise missed.
An effort was made to secure the
blood hounds from Sheriff Ridenhour
at Vinita, but he could not leave Vim
ita until 1927 this evening and it is
thought the trail would be to cold
then. The burglars entered by taking
a glass out of each of the back doors
taking care to set them gently down
by the side of the door without break
ing a glass
The business men here seem to
think there is an organized band Of
thieves in the neighborhood as it has
not been over 80 days since the Peo-
pies drug store here was touched up
to the tune of $500, and about two
weeks ago two stores at Big Cabin
were burgarlized and last week a
drug store at Chateau was robbed
The proprietors of the burglarized
stores regret very much that they
could not get the dogs, as they allow
ed no one to go about the back doors
or in the stores until. word was
reached that they could not get the
