DEMOCRATS HAVE MAJORITY
In THE STATE LEGISLATURE

( Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 1.-THE returns
from the recent election show that the
democrats will control both houses of
the next legislature with substantial
majorities. The democrats will have
considerably more than a two-thirds
majority in the house, but will fall
one short of having a two-thirds ma
jority in the senate unless another
democrat is added by contest proceed
ings.
The political complexion of the
house shows thirty-two republicans,
seyenty-five democrats, with two in
doubt The senate will be constituted
Of fifteen republicans and twenty-nine
democrats.
In the last legislature the republi-
cans had forty-one members of the
house and ten members Of the senate,
showing loss by the republicans Of
nine with possibly seven members Of
the house and d republican gain Of
five members in hessenate over the
last legislature.
OF the 153 votes on joint ballot, the
republicans will have forty-seven sure
ly, with possible forty-nine, and the
democrats 104 surely, with possible
106, insuring the democrats two
thirds majority on joint ballot. This
will enable the democrats to put
through joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the constitution where
there is party issue.
The combined voting strength Of the
republicans on joint ballot in the last
legislature was fifty-one and in the
next Legislature will be forty-seven
with a possible forty-nine.
In spite of the grandfather clause"
A. C. Hamlin, a negro Of Logan coun-
ty, was reelected member Of the
house.

DR.. STAPLER HERE
ON DOUBLE ERRAND
Declares County Judges Are Too Busy
in Oklahoma to Give Proper At
tention to Juvenile Court.

DIR. Stolper, the assistant commits
sioner of charities and corrections of
the state of Oklahoma is in town today
on a double errand.
In the first place the state
conference of charities and corrections
is scheduled to meet in Vinita some
time next spring and at 2:30 this after
noon DR.. Stolper met the local COM
mittee of arrangements at the Com
mercial Club rooms.
The doctor is also here to intervene
in probate case pending in the coun-
ty court. Three orphan children,
Bertha L., Fannie M. and Sadie NJ.
Brown, have been for some time in
the state orphans home at Pryor Creek
while their property was administered
by a guardian.
The final report shows that he has
received for the three children $622.74,
while his expenses as guardian have
exceeded this amount by $253.SS.
DIR. STOPPER, on behalf of the state,
objects to the approval of the report
and asks for an investigation of the
guardians management of the estate.
DR.. Stolper is an enthusiast in his
department, and gave the Chieftain
reporter an extended interview in the
Office Of Judge Joseph A. Gill. I'VE are
a young state" said the doctor, and
yet we have every problem in the line
Of charities and corrections which the
older states have, excepting the tene-
ment house problem" Special men
ton was made OF the need of sys-
tenn of state care for the insane, and
of district juvenile judges to handle
cases in which children are involved.
Bills covering both of these points are
in preparation and will be submitted
to the next legislature.
I'VE have found by experience" /"
said the doctor, "that the county Judges
who are the Juvenile Judges under the
present law, are too busy to give the
time and attention which children's
cases demand. Besides. the dhildren's
Judge should Be specialist in that
particular line Of work. There viii be
a great deal OF work for such judge
under our laws. Oklahoma has de-
clared by statute that child under
sixteen years of age cannot commit a
crime. Only a short time ago the
court in Delaware county decided that
a boy under sixteen years of age could
not be tried for murder When we
/. get the district juvenile judges and
probation officers in every county, Ok
lahoma will be as well equipped as any
state in the Union for dealing with
wayward and unfortunate children"

KANSAS IS VICTOR
OVER OKLAHOMA
Iayhawkers Win Doubtful Victory
Over soOners, Scoring SAFELY in
Last Few Minutes Of Play.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 14.--ClearIy
outplaying their opponents at every
stage OF the game, Oklahoma uniyer-
sity lost to Kansas university here to-
day by safety in the last three min
utes of play. When time was called
the grand stand was of the opinion
that the game was tie, the play which
had been declared safety appearing
to have been touchback. The play
was made in the extreme corner of the
field, Mort Woods of Oklahoma inter-
cepting a forward pass and picking the
ball up from the goal line after 1t had
touched tho ground outside. This was
the testimony OF the field Judge, who
further declared that Woods had but
one foot on the line when he got pos
session Of the ball; the umpire also
declared in favor of touchback, but
Referee Curtis decided in favor OF
Kansas.
Though having the score decided
against them, the Oklahoma students
celebrated as II the decision had been
in their favor. for they outclAaskd the
victors throughout, the game and held
their own against vastly superior
weight. Right Halfback Capshaw was
the stellar ground gamer for Okla
homa, twice getting clear OF the line
OF scrimmage, but being downed by
the safety before reaching the line.
The Woods brothers. the other back
field men, were also able to plunge
through the heavy Kansas line for con-
sistent gains, while Mort Woods punt
ed the ball out OF danger every time
the Kansans threatened. Ambrister,
the young Sooner quarterback, repeat
edly electrified the crowd by brilliant
dashes around the ends.
Kansas had only one chance to score
la touchdown, that being In the last
five minutes OF play but Oklahoma
Iheld three times on her 5-yard line
and booted the BAH out Of danger. Ok

DECREASE SHOWN
IN BANK DEPOSITS
Local Bankers Are Unable to Assign
Reason For the Big Withdrawal
Of Money OF Deposit.

The national comptroller OF the cur
|rency at Washington today, issued
call for statements Of the condition of
all national banks at close Of business
on Thursday, November 10.
The two state banks In Vinita as
well as the three national banks pub
lish statement at each call of the
comptroller. The call at this time
caught the Vinita banks, both national
and state at low tide. The deposits in
four Of the banks were smaller than
at any time during the past year. The
Cherokee National only was able to
show an increase over the last state
ment.
The total deposits In *he banks OF
Vinita on September /, when the last
statement was made was $1,270,0 900.
The deposits last Thursday night were
81, 1,1OS.O0O or decrease of 100000 in
the seventy days.
The local bankers are unable to as
sign reason for this decrease, unless
the money has been withdrawn for in
vestment. The last sixty days has
been dull period. This fact is thought
to have been due to the election, which
always upsets business to degree.
The bankers of this city however are
optimistic and now, that the election
is past, expect business to revive, and
the next sixty days will likely be d
reverse Of the last period Of that
length.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort OF food?

The farmer Of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
TO increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.
