chief Justice, That's An.

"There are very few people who
know the present designation OF the
man who presides over the supreme
court" said Secretary of the Senate
Charles G. Bennett. Generally he is
referred to as the chief justice of the
United States supreme court In fact
he is the chief justice. That's his ct1i-
cial title. Most Of our presidents in
nominating men for this Office have
fallen into the error of giving him the
long title. When George Washington
nominated Oliver Ellsworth of Con-
neetieut for this post he described II
as chief justice Of the supreme court
of the United States Andrew Jack
son made the same error in nominal
ing Richard B. Taney. So did Abra-
ham Lincoln when he appointed
Salmon P. Chase. Grover Cleveland
was the first president to give the cor
rect designation When he appoint
ed Melville W. Fuller he nominated
him to be chief justice and nothin@
slse. Future nominations will b.
framed in this fashion"

MABENS PETITION
DENIED BY COURT
state Supreme Court Holds That Shaw
nee Judge is Subject to Re-
moval From Office.

Guthrie, Okla, July THE supreme
court, unanimously concurring in an
opinion rendered by Associate Justice
S. w. Hayes, denied the writ of pro
hibition applied for by Judge William
N. Maben, of Shawnee, against Judge
Malcolm s. Rosser acting judge of the
tenth judicial district, Attorney Gen
eral Charles West and Fred S. Cald-
well, counsel to the governor. Maben's
action was to secure an order from
the court restraining the defendants
from further prosecution in the oust-
er proceedings in the district court of
Pottawatomie county, where the at
torney general began an action to re-
move Maben from the district judgship
pending the hearing on the graft in
dictments returned by the grand jury
last April, charging him with miscon-
duct of office Maben in his petition
alleged that under the constitution and
laws OF the state a district court could
not remove district judge and he
could be removed from office only by
Impeachment by the legislature. The
court in denying the writ of prohibition
holds that district judge under the
constitution and laws of the state can
remove another judge from office pend
ing final hearing upon accusations re-
turned by the grand jury.
Maben was acquitted on one indict-
ment at a trial held several weeks
ago Attorney General West, it is
stated, is preparing the papers to pros.
ecute Maben on other indictments. It
is stated that he will also bring an
action in the courts TO suspend Maben
from Office pending hearing on the
other counts.

tnued. The dole out little some
thing to charity now and then, with
unite the air OF martyr going to the
stake for his beliefs. What more can
be asked OF them? The answer is
instant and imperative. Make some
show Of genuine human feeling. Give
some expression Of honest human
sympathy. Oner some real sacrifice
for the common interest and the com
mon good Dwell upon something
other than ones own physical comfort
and material welfare. and lend hearty
hand to the huge task Of making more
human beings intelligent, property
holding, and free from the harassing
and in large part unnecessary cares
which now torment them. II the de-
cent men and women Of America
would begin tomorrow to do the
things their private beliefs and their
public professions require, the sum
total Of the worlds comfort and hap.
piness would be maryelously increased
before sunset. Let US put bounty
on good citizenship by giving to 1t
great influence; by rendering 1t high
honor; and by holding it in incompar-
able esteem. Let these standards be
set early in the home and in the
school. Before all else, keep the in
spring maxim, Liberty under law, be-
fore every American child, and as he
grows in power Of appreciation see
that he understands what 1t means and
involves.
"The perpetuation of democracy de-
pends upon the existence in the people
Of that habit OF will which is justice.
Liberty under the law is the process
for attaining justice which has thus
far been most successful among civili-
zed men. The call to citizenship is a
call to the exercise of liberty under
law; a call to the limitation of liberty
by law; and call to the pursuit Of
justice, not only for ones self, but for
others"

HaIIett On Wheels
 Oklahoma Exhibit Car
Stationed at Ave. E and Twentieth St.-lnteresting Showing of
 Natural Resources.

Hallet on wheels is parked at Twen- tieth street and Avenue E. Hallett is the Oklahoma exhibit ear, stocked with the natural products of the rich, new state of Oklahoma, making circuit of the country as an advertisement of Okla homa and particularly of Hallett. Pawnee county, and the territory immediately around the town.
 The recent opening to white settlers by the United States government of the fer tile Indian lands of Oklahoma is the be- gaming of wonderful and rapid develop ment No section, it is claimed, is richer in natural wealth than Pawnee county. Immediately around Hallett, which is To- cated at the junction of the Frisco and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroads, oil and natural gas, cement rock, coal and other minerals are found in abund- ance. Oil from the Hallett fields is piped to New Jersey and to the Gulf of Mexico. Within a radius of 60 miles of Hallett S13O, ,OOO, 900 has been spent in three years in development of the oil fields. Natural gas is cheap enough for factory fuel, cheaper than coal at COG per ton.
 The exhibit car is an interesting study. The agricultural products are fine and varied The crude oil is shown just as taken from the gushers The car will be at Avenue E and Twentieth street several days and the gentlemen in charge are anxious for everybody to visit Hal lett on wheels and see something of Oklahomas wealth.

M. Y. CULPEPPER
 FREED OF CHARGE

Girard, February 2-(Special) )-Martin V. Culpepper, who was under indict- ment for murder in Lee county, is a free man, the solicitor at Opelika, C. A. L. Sanford, having mol pressed the case against him, and Judge Barnett having approved the action of the solicitor.
 It will be recalled that several months ago the little 11-year-old daughter T. J.. Haden, MT. Culpeppers brother-in-law, who resided four miles from Phenix city and Girard was shot from ambush and killed, rife ball penetrating her heart. MT. and Mrs. Haden were sitting on their porch just after nightfall, when the child, preceded by her older sister, started from the cook room to the main part of the house, going along the back porch, and turned in at a hall door. Just as the little girl entered the hall the man from ambush shot at her father who sat on the steps, and who was in line with the child at the time.
 The ball missed the father and struck the child, killing her Haden and Gull pepper had had a difficulty the day be- fore at Culpepper's store in Grard, and suspicion pointed to the latter as the perpetrator of the deed and he was ar- rested and indicted together with his son, Uhland Culpepper. The latter was tried several weeks ago and was con- victed, having received life sentence in the penitentiary, and is now serving that sentence.

If some rate reformer were to pass by this town today it is likely that he would get a warm reception. Two cars of potatoes have been received from Ashwood, Tenn, on which there is an overeharge of about $50 which the re ceivers have been working two days to get adjusted, in the meantime the stuff having to take the cold. The agent here cannot give relief, although the overcharge is perfectly clear, for fear that Uncle Sam will get the company for rebatng. The wires have been kept hot for two days and relief is not yet. Under the old regime, when ship pers and railroads had some say so about their business 1t would have been easy enough for the agent here to make advise of overcharge and get the cars released immediately. Sentiment here is much in favor of a return to the old way

General opinion is that the recent cold wave has set the fruit crop back sufficiently to lead to hope for another crop for this year. Orchards have gen. orally been worked out, while the freeze killed a great many borers with which orchards have to contend. An efforts is making to get some preserv- ing company, or cannery in the north to locate here to work up the surplus products each season. The general freight agent of the Alabama Great Southe ern has been requested to aid in the movement. cannery should prove of value, and the growers believe it would prove a money making affair. Local capital has, so far, been taken up with the production of the crops.
