SENATOR OWEN
ON FEDERAL TAX
TELLS HOW TARIFF TAKES MON
EY INDIRECTLY FROM PEOPLE.
ONLY HONEST MEN FOR OFFICE.

Pawnee, Okla, Nov. 1.-Senator
Robert L. Owen spoke for an hour and
a half here to crowd that filled the
opera house to overlooking; every
word of his address was closely lis
tened to and he was frequently inter
rupted by applause.
He reached the city from Stillwa
ter on the o'clock Santa Fe, and was
met at the station by a delegation of
citizens and the Pawnee band.
V. H. Biddison introduced Senator
Owen in a few well chosen words
and the senator launched at once into
his subject, More Equitable Distribu'
ton of the Proceeds Of Labor" The
Oklahoma constitution provides this
the fourth right, in addition to those
of life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
the peaceful right of the proceeds of
his own labor The last congress ap-
propriated s1,O44,OO0,OOO. oklahoma S
citizens pay one-fifth of this amount,
or s21 100000.
The amount of direct taxes requir-
ed by this state to conduct the state
government is about s2,000,000, a do
lar a head for each man, woman and
child in the state, while every man,
woman and child in this state must
contribute $40 head for the national
government. For the one dollar paid
for state purposes We get a tax re-
ceipt, but for the $40 paid by each
individual for national purpose we
get no receipt, but we pay 1t over the
counter every time we purchase a
manufactured article.
Three-fourths OF this total outlay o,
81 ,O44, 100000 is expended for wars,
past and present. in the building OF
$4,000, 900 battleships and maintain
ing the standing army and navy, and
the pensioning OF former soldiers. The
senator said that he had asked on the
floor OF the senate that one-tenth or
one per cent be set aside for peace
to be use din the interest Of diseased
and poverty-stricken humanity. Mil
lions are set aside each year to dis
cover preventatives and cures for dis
eased hogs and cattle, but not a pen
ny is used for the ills of the human
family.
The citizens of Oklahoma would not
object so much to spending $40 apiece
for the national government if the ma
tional government received II all and
used it, but the truth is that one-thlrd
OF all that Is raised by the tariff Is
taken by the monopolies as profit,
thus making millionaires of the few
and paupers Of the many.
The monopolies not only control the
prices we must pay for what We buy
but dictate the prices We shall receive
for our products. When q load OF

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It BY Starving It Either
Let a Substitute Do the Work.

Let w h'S w ~
The old adage, All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy applies
just as we'll to the stomach, one OF
the most important organs of the hui
man system, as it does to the man,
himself.
If your stomach Is worn out and
rebels against being further taxed be-
yond lis limit, the only sensible thing
you can do is to give 1t rest. En-
ploy a substitute for a short time and
see if it will not more than repay
you in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most effici mt substitute
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would,
were it well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids OF the
stomach contain and actually act just
the same and dc just the same work
as the natural fluids would do, were
the stomach well and sound. They,
therefore, relieve the stomach, just
as one workman relieves another, and
permit it to rest and recuperate and
regain its normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read what he says: Il
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking of my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain great in
terests that meant much to me as well
as my clients. 1t was not the work
of days, but of months, | was working
night and day almost, when at very
critical time my stomach went clear
back on me. The undue mental strain
brought it about and hurried up what
would have happened later on.
What ate I had to literally force
down and that was a source of misery
As | had sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, | was sluggish
and began TO lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and | confided
my plight to one of my clients. he
had been cured by Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a
dlug store and brought box up to
the office.
Il nad not taken quar- er of that
box before | found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did;
and as a rest or vacation was out OF
the question for me, | determined to
give my stomach a vacation. / kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate just as much as
ever did and carried out that under
taking to successful issue. / feel
that have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to thank tor saving me the handsom-
est fee I ever received as well as my
reputation and last but not least my
stomach"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 90 cents

cations are that Judge Russell VIII re

suit of the dirty fight being made
against him.

A stabbing affray in Roosevelt about
a month ago, In which an innocent man
was attacked and almost killed, will

would-be murderers and some interest
ing developments may arise.
John Kotzuma, living in Elizabeth
street, near Hall avenue, was the man
attacked. About a month ago he went
to Roosevelt to visit friend. While
there two men rushed in. One grabbed
him and the other stabbed him deep In
the back. AS he fell, the men saw his
face and are said to have exclaimed In
their native tongue, "We got the wrong
fellow" After that hey fed and no
trace Of them has as yet been found.
The victim 8 wound was serious, as

swapping. AS fast as they were able
to reach the nearest shelter frighten-

from the street Soon the thorough
fare was deserted.
In corner under a stoop the ami
NAL finally rested. Men emerged
cautiously from houses, and Patrol
man l.. G. Jensen appeared and look

Rather than trust to his revolver,
the patrolman went In search of a
shotgun. The animal was killed.

Specfal TO the EVENING NE WS.
New Brunswick, Sept. 3:-In rec
ognition of the fact that John D.
Reardon, Paul Turek and Joseph
Mclaughlin, three of the Perth Am
boy saloon keepers indicted for the
Sunday sale Of liquor, pleaded guilty
at the time of trial, Judge Adrian
Lyon yesterday reduced their fineee
Reardon and Turek had each begn
fined $400, which were reduced to
$3.50, and McLaughlin's fine of $500
was reduced to $500. The latter was
fined 800 more than Reardon and
Turek because he allowed trial to
be started. He later changed his
plea to guilty.
1t was only after considering the
fact that these men acknowledged
guilt and threw themselves upon the
mercy of the court, that Judge Lyon
decided to act favorably upon the
motions of their attorneys entered a
few weeks ago. The pleading of
the saloon keepers therefore seems
wholly responsible for the material
reduction that has been made in
their fines. The fact that Reardon
and Turek admitted their guilt from
the outset and that Mclaughlin af-
terward admitted his, was the only
question considered by the Judge In
deciding upon the motions.
Mclaughlin keeps a saloon at 283
Water street. John D. Reardon is
proprietor of the Pennsylvania Ho-
tel at 867 State street, and Paul
Turek conducts a saloon at 299
Smith street.

WOULD ELIMINATE THE
JUNK "CRAB" SCALE

Sealer of Weights and Measures
Henry Toft is endeavoring to elimi-
nate from use in t ) city the "crab"
scale, spring balance much in use
among junkmen The sealer says
every junk dealer in the city is in
possession of one or more and en-
ploys it daily in weighing articles of
ten pounds or more.
Mr.. Toft is now in possession of
one of the scales. He confscated it
from junkman, and found that
with ten-pound weight, the scale
indicator reached only the five
pound mark, and when twenty-five
pounds we're suspended on the bal
ance, the indicator absolutely re-
fused to move. The scale resembles
the body of a crab in shape, and is
apparently nothing more than an
artifice for short weighing"
Suspended from the spring are
two hooks, one governing the indi-
Gator and the other entirely indie
pendent. The indicator has been set
about six pounds "slow" and with
ten+pound weight registers but four
or five pounds.
After his scale had been taken the
junk dealer appeared at city hall
and requested its return. He was
told that the balance had been con-
flscated and would be returned only
through a legal suit. He threatened
to apply to Recorder Pickersgill and
was told that should he do SO his
arrest would follow as application
for the return of the scale would be
an admission of guilt.
