HASKELL
ISSUE CALL
legislature Will Probably
Meet December |, or
Soon Thereafter

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. lS.-That
Governor 9. N. Haskell will not issue a
call for special session Of the legisla-
ture until Saturday or Sunday was
evident by developments Thursday
During the entire day, the governor
was busy either comforting with his at
torneys or with the new and old mem
bers of the legislature who will be call
ed upon to finally decide the issue.
Il am not going to make the call un-
til decide thts | am right and that
the time is ripe he said in response
to inquiries
In all probability the legislature will
convene on or about Dec. 1. The gov
eraor up TO date has been in confer
ence either personally or by letter with
nearly three-fourths OF the members
of the new legislature. He desires TO
ascertain when they can conveniently
meet and is securing their opinions on
the present status of the case.
Under the state law, If BY a two
thirds vote Of the legislature the capt
tai is officially designated, there can
be no appeal except by vote Of the
people under the initiative and referen-
DUN. This is the condition OF affairs
which the governor desires. There is
no specific time to elapse. between the
date of the call for special session
and the date on which the legislature
may convene.
In answer to rumors that he had
telegraphed the proprietor Of the Royal
hotel in Guthrie, asking that his old
apartments be reserved for him and
which had been taken by the Guthrie
people as indicative of the fact that he
intended to remove, the governor first
enjoyed good laugh ard then said:
You may say for ne saat the only
telegram ] have sent TO Guthrie was
one to the proprietor Of the Royal hotel
in that village congratulating the pro
prietor on becoming a grandfather"
A large number of the members Of
the state legislature were in conference
with the governor Thursday The call
will embrace only the new members. "A
number of other important matters be-
sides the capital decision will probably
be forced to a consummation during the
session, among which is law proyid-
ing a penitentiary sentence for all per-
sons convicted of "bootlegging."

FORT WORTH HIGH
IS OUT OF GAME

Without assigning any reason for
their late decision, the management Of
the Fort Worth High school football
team late last evening notified Manager
Hamilton of the local team. by tele-
gram, that Fort Worth would be unable
to fiji the date fixed for this afternoon.
According to original contract between
the two schools, then, the game goes
to chickasha by default on a score Of
one to nothing.
The game was to have been played
this afternoon at University park and,
as it was to have been the last Of the
season cn the local grounds and prob
ably the biggest game OF the entire sea
son, considerable interest was manifest
by local fans
Instead Of the Fort Worth game, at a
reduced admission fee, the two High
school teams are playing an exhibition
game this afternoon.

1t is understood this afternoon that
Governor Haskell may change the
date Of the proposed special session
of the legislature TO some other date
that November 2S The report is not
denied BY the governor. The ques-.
tions are now being raised as to
whether the session thus called should
sic in Guthrie or in Oklahoma City,
whether the validation OF the state
capital bill would permit Governor
Haskell to name the capital commits
sion and whether or not Oklahoma
City or some other site could be Sc
lected BY such legislature.

Not Much Dynamiting.
}, Very little dynamiting of the fish in

E6ere are about 5000 murders IN the
United States yearly, trightful record,
ana aeplorable enough. Some proba-
bly, well-meanlng people. a trlfe
warped by their prejudices, have been
blaming foreign immigration for this
sad state of things. Investigation
shows that thas charge, like many
others made against the Immigrant,
has no foundation. The Springfield
Republicaa., shows that in New Eng
land manufacturing city. where native
Americans are 80 scarce that those who
are there are conspicuous, there was
not q homicide in fifteen years. In
Mississippi, from Jan. 1 to Nov. Is,
1904, there were POI murders; in 1909
In South Carolina there were 222. Out
of the 297 Mississippi murders $50
were negroes. and in 227 of the cases
the crime was committed by negroes
on negroes SO that 1t is apparent that
evil social and racial conditions in GER
tain parts of the country are to blame
for the large number of homicldes.
PHILADELPHIA and Denver are thoroughly
American cities. Yet, from what is
known of Philadelphia, and what
Judge Lindsey says of Denver, condl-
tlons appear worse there than any
thing ever charged up to New York,
with It's great immigrant population.

state university professors mixing up
In q partisan way with controversies
like that between the gas company
and Minneapolis. Prof, Anderson of
the university IS in favor of municipal
ownership, and told the people of
Minneapolis So OF course this Offend
ed the journal. 1t says that teachers
in an insti 'utlon supported by all the
people should not take sides in such
controversies. In 1896 many university
professors and heads of universities
were strong IN their opposition to
Bryan and his policies. We do not re:
call any criticism from the Journal at
that time. 1t really does make diff
ference whose OK is gored. so many
institutions OF learning in this country
are becoming subservlent to plutocracy
that it is refreshing to tind occasional
ly a. university professor who dares to
take the peoples side OF a question.
And there Is no question that If the
University of Minnesota were what 1t
ought to be-, there would be more men
like Professor Anderson, instead of SO

A well known London comedian was
starring at a music hall in a large
town when he heard from a friend
that the son of the landlady where he
had taken rooms was going round the
town stating that the star was rotten
and not worth going to see.
The comedian went home and called
the landlady and said: MADAM, you
would not like me to leave your rooms
and in the next town I went to tell
my friends that were likely to visit
you that your rooms were bad. Well.
your little boy has made statement
that I am no use as a star, and
should like you to take him to task
for it. Please don't hit him, but speak

When Bryan visited Asia some years
ago he wrote criticism of British
rule in India. It was q strong article
and not relished by English i'm
perialists. Recently IN Lahore, India,
q man named Lal Chand was arraigned
on the charge Of sedition, and the
government advocate asked that the
man be prosecuted for printing in one
of the Hindustan magazines Urdu,
and circulating, a book which was
seditious and tended toward hatred OF
the British government. It seems. on
investigation. that the book in ques-
ton was q translation of Bryan's
article which the nat'onalists of India
have been using IN their propaganda.
Bryan has made much trouble for
the plutocracy of America, but it is
hardly likely that he ever supposed he
was stirring up difficulties for the
plutocrats who are exploiting India.
