5ekahs for consolidation was almost
unanimous
The formal ceremonies in connec-
ton with the consolidation will take
place April lS, 1911. 1t is expected
that these Till be conducted by the
officers Of TIE grand lodge. including
J. B. COckrum, Indianapolis, Ind; c.
A. Keller, San Antonio, Texas. and
J. B. Goodwin, Baltimore. Nd.
The Odd Fellows Of Oklahoma
and the old Indian Territory have
membership OF approximately 3o,-
900 and are among the leading fra
ternal organizations in the state.
Each branch of the order has main
lained an ODD Fellows home where
aged members are cared for and or
phans sheltered. The Indian Ter
r.tory" home is located near Che
cotah On l53 acres Of a fine farm.
The Oklahoma home is located al
Carmen and consists o. l60-acre
farm. representing an investment
Of sG5.OJ0.
Odd Fellows all over the state are
rejoicing at the consolidation, al
-hough some voted against It. There
is general feeling that 1t will tend
to strengthen the order throughout
the country to know that there
has been such action taken. While
the Two orders were both OF the
grand lodge, they have never affili-
ated in grand state convention, but
held them separately

CHANGE IN PHONE DISCOUNTS
Beginning November First, Rentals
viii be Discounted Ten Per Cent

To the Public:
Whatever has been our share in
the up5uilding Of this city, OF that
share ae are justly proud. And We
have grown with the city. Serious
problems have confronted US. but al
ways with the assistance OF the pub
lie We have overcome them. We now
have the largest pay roll in the city
We make the heaviest contribution
to the receipts at the local post,
office and We are increasing our in
yestment regularly.
But the continued growth OF the
city presents 20 US aided difficulties.
In addition 10 paying current ex.
penses, of meeting continued de
probation in plant and Of making a
fair return on the invested capital.
We must make improN ements and
extensions To do this We need
more capital and 10 obtain the nee
essary capital we must show a
sale and solid investment, and in
order TO accomplish this II is nee
essay to curtail our expenses to a
certain extent. Therefore, beginning
November lst, 1910. we will discon-
unue our present plan Of discounts
and place in its stead a system sim
liar to that OF the Ardmore Heat
& Light Company. There will be
no change in our rates, with the
exception Of extension telephones
which will be reduced SOC each, and
a 10 per cent discount will be given
on the rental account If paid on
or before the tenth day Of the
current month.
This discount will favor no class
o. service as compared with the
Others, as does the fifty per cent
discount which makes the rate Of
discount higher as the bill grows
smaller, manifestly unfair boh to
us and 10 other subscribers.
Therefore. when making remit
tances after November 1st, deduct 10
per cent OF your rental account If
paid on before the tenth day OF
the month for which account is
rendered, otherwise, pay the account
in full as in the past.

postponement Of several of them. The
death Of Solicitor General Bowers may
also result in the postponeLent OF a
number Of government cases.
The first big case set for argument
is the dispute between the state Of
West Virginia and the commonwealth
OF Virginia as 70 the amount of money
the former ow the latter by reason
OF the formation Of separate govern
ments. Charles +. Littlefe'd, SPECIAL
master Of the court, last spring re-
ported that the amount varied from
about $4,000 900 to about s9,oO0,000 ac-
Cording 70 the basis that might be &C
cepted for a settlement. Some Of the
/ prominent lawyers in the country will
appear before the court TO argue on
exceptions to the report, which will be
preparatory TO final judgment in the
case.
Immediately following the Virginia
case. the court will hear the famous
/ peonGge cases from Florida. Only the

to be released on writs OF habeas cor

to hard labor was Illegal, that the
trial court had no jurisdiction and that
the grand jury was not constituted
according to law.
Scarcely of less interest in the labor
world will be the cases involving the
constitutionality OF the Employers LA

There were threats of lynching of
three colored men arrested last week
and accused of brutal treatment of q
Hagerstown night Waterman. 1t was
with difficulty that the men were got
ten to Jail in safety. When given a
chance the three men proved that they
had nothing to do with the affair and
were promptly released from custody.
This is another forcible illustration OF
the danger of lynch law. A mob knows
no reason and never waits for proof Of
guilt or innocence

TAFT PRAISES
JEWISH RACE

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2S.-In reply
ing to a delegation of the American as
ISOLATION of foreign language news
papers, VINO called at the White
House to protest against certain i'm
migration bills pending in congress,
President Taft today paid high, tri-
butte to the jews who had come to
America and become imbued with the
true spirit of patriotism.
The question of limiting immigra-
r,gration,'' said the president, lin such
a way as to shut out the undesirables
of Europe, is a question which has adj
dressed itself to congress in the past.
They rejected-for / was present in
congress when it was done-the edu-
cational limitation on the ground that
it did not shut out those whom we
most desired to shut out, and that the
anarchists man who comes here with
no loyalty to the new government-is
the man who could easily pass men
tai examination.
"Now all can say about this, because
cannot commit myself to any par
ticular form of legislation, is that inso-
far as I am concerned, I shall sign
no bill without giving you gentlemen
a full opportunity to be heard. 1t is
possible that I shall differ with you
but 1 think that where hearing is

SUGAR PIRATES.

The sugar trust is no respecter or
parties 1t would as soon bride a dem
ocrat as a republican.
AS a matter of fact, it was this same
sugar trust that congress is now talk
ing ABOUT investigating, that was in a
large measure responsible for the
democratic Wilson bill being mall
treated in the senate.
The Wilson bill, as reported to the
house and passed by the house, provfd-
ed for the admission of raw sugar
free, in accordance with the democrat
ic theory as to the raw materials, but
it also admitted refined sugar free,
thereby depriving the sugar trust of
any special advantage. 1t was in the
senate that the sugar trust got in it's
work. A 40-per cent duty was placed
upon raw sugar, and a duty of one
eighth of cent a pound upon refined
sugar. This tax, infinitely insignificant
though it may appear, was ample to
continue and confirm the sugar trust
in its supremacy The fractional duty
of one-eighth of a cent a pound
meant to the treasury of the trust not
less than $2O,OO0,0OO of profit every
year.
1t was the sugar trust which Presi-
dent Cleveland was referring most par
ticularly to, when, following his disap-
pointment at the mutilation of the Will
son bill in the senate, he wrote the
following letter to Mr. Latchlngs of
Mississippi:
Tariff reform will not be settled
until it is honestly and fairly settled, in
the interest and to the benefit of a pa
tient and long suffering people.
The trusts and combinations-the
communism of pelf-whose machina-
lions have prevented us from reaching
the success we deserved, should not be
forgotten nor forgiven"
President Cleveland was big enough
to admit that the Wilson bill was not
to his liking, and there is no doubt but
that Clevelands entire after life would
have been more happy than it was had
not the trusts defeated his attempt to
secure an honest revision of the tariff.
But that is not the point of these
remarks. The thieving sugar trust still
exists. Within a few days an attempt
viii in all probability be made in con-
gress to secure a congressional probe
of the giant combine. Every reader of
this editorial should write to his repre-
sentative in congress and urge him to
support any movement that may be
MADE to force the committee on rules
10 prlng In report on the resolutions
providing for congressional probe of
the sugar trust. Publicity is the only
weapon, apparently. that will leave its
mark on the sugar octupus.

In going about this country 1ennn

which impressed me more than an.

where and mixing them and amalpar-
ating them with our population had
produced a distinct type of American
as distinguished from any of the Me-

should go back on what I'D to This
