NEGROES BARRED
Federal Court Holds It Lacks Authority
to Grant Relief from the Oklahoma
Grandfather Clause.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. Holding that
it has no jurisdiction to grant relief
from the operations of the grandfather
clause amendment to the Oklahoma
Constitution, the Federal Circuit Court
late today dismissed the application of
Daniel Sims, a former slave who asked
a writ of Injunction that would permit
him and other negroes to vote at the
general election on November 8.
This decision makes the grandfather
clause operative for the election on No
vember 5, disfranchising several thous-
and negroes, as the various precinct
election boards are given final authority
to pass on voters qualifications.
The attorneys for Sibs have appealed
to the United States Supreme Court
from the recent decision of the State
Supreme Court, that the grandfather
clause is valid

EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT.
Some drivers of autos going to and
coming from the State Fair are so reck-
less and careless that it would seem as
if they have or are laboring from the
effects of a disordered mind.
The speed limit should be enforced. Ii
is demanded as a protection TO life and
limb as well as the safety of those on
the highwtys, such as surries, buggies
and other vehicles in which ride ladies
and children
Somebody is going to be the victim OF

LIVE STOCK DEPARTMENT.
The Live Stock Department in which
are exhibited in different buildings the
swine, the cattle and the horses, af-
fords substantial qualification for OBJ
servation to the people having an inter
est in such stock, and no limit of salts
faction to the layrnan who relishes his
bacon or ham, or roast or steak or milk
and butter which the four-footed repre-
sent while in the activities of life.
Without the hog there would be no
ham or bacon or pork chops or sausage,
Without the COW no milk or butter or
roast beef or meat for soup OF hash.
While a hog is still a hog, it has been
demonstrated that first class hog eats
no more than the old fashioned razor
back and the profit in results and in
money gain is the equal as IS cents is
to silver dollar
The same observation applies to cat
tie.
The difference between the old native
COW of twenty years ago and the Jersey
or the Shorthorn and other improved
breeds of today is as day is to night
each possessing its characteristics for
milk or beef, but each being the better
of the COW which yielded a pint to half
a gallon of milk a day in contrast to the
Jersey of today with its two to four gall
Ions of rich creamy milk.
And so it is with the cattle which is
to provide the supply of meat for every
day use
1t is by comparison in exhibitions that
education is fostered and leads to bet
terment in all things. especially as ap-
piled to the products from the farm.
The exhibit of horses of various
breeds is excellent

M. U. IN SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
! EDITORIAL from Kansas City Star Tells
of University's Progress.

The following editorial is from the
Kansas City Star:
Prof. w. I. Cross, who is to make
a social survey of Kansas City for the
board of public welfare is the secre-
tary of the state board of charities
and corrections and an instructor in
sociology of the Missouri State Uni
versity.
Here, then, is an instance of union
OF the university. the state and the
municipality in social service work
such as has been so conspicuously val
liable to the people in the progressive
state of Wisconsin. 1t is not the only
instance, but it is the most hopefully
| significant.
| For nothing is of greater conse-
! than to get the grip of accurate infor.
nation and logical appraisement upon
| the conditions of city life which make
for poverty and vice and crime and
upon the conditions which lessen or
eradicate those evils. And in no other
line of endeavor is the scientific knowl
edge of an impartial expert investi
gator of more necessity and of more
value
incidentally, among the many fine
proofs that the board OF public welfare
has given of its social usefulness none
is finer than this pending inquiry into
the conditions of living of the people
of Kansas City.
