call I, Selve measures of more or
less Importance took up the time OF
the house of representative Mon
day.
"Kate's bill. the measure by Repre-
sentative Tehee and Senator Ian
drum, giving Miss Kate Barnard,
state commissioner of charities and
corrections, power to intervene and
protect the rights of orphans, was
among the bills passed finally.
Senator Cores speech was inter
esting to the joint session of the
house and senate and to the throng
of spectators who jammed the house
chamber Unlike Senator owen, how
ever, he indulged in no shots at
prominent men; nor did his talk re-
veal any more of the purposes OF
his trip down here than his inter
views. His rmarks on tht various
matters now before congress were
so Willingly put that he was cheer
ed time and again. The only re-
marks that could be construed as
referring to Senator owens deroga-
tions of Governor Harmon of Ohio
were toward the end of his dis.
course.
Il am not so solicitous about the
individual as about the type of the
man from whom We shall choose
our next president" he said.
At the conclusion of the senator's
speech he was surrounded for some
fifteen minutes by legislators and
spectators desiring to shake his
hand and speak word. Among
those that met him was Represent.
ative o. Marshal of Texas county,
who, like Senator Gore, is blind.
"The meeting of the two blind
men," said Senator Gore cheerful
ly, and he and Mr.. Marshal held
each other in discourse for some
moments.
The meeting was somewhat unu
sual, since the United States senator
and the state representative are the
only two blind men holding such
political places in Oklahoma.
A standing house committee on re-
vision was appointed by Speaker Du
rant Monday. The members as an,
nounced are Cornell, Teehee and
