First secure level right of ways.
Run the roads from one joint to

the distance if you can get per-
fectly level route. Often the
level route will be the nearest. AS
the first road engineers went out
of their way to get on a hill. In
their times road graders, scrap
ers and turning plows were un-
known. The small shovel pillow,
commonly called bull tongue was
all they had to ditch with. But
row experience has taught that
bottom or low lard well drained
is dryer than ridge land, as more
sand and gravel is found in the
valleys. The crazy notion that
a road in valley would be mirry
is no longer believed in. If we
can get the roads changed to av-
old the hills then turnpikes
would be the next step. It will

LEE CRUCE IN

Governor Of Oklahoma Solves Pro-
hibition Problem and Makes
"Drys" Enforce It.

Oklahoma City. Okla, Sept.
20. If state wide prohibition
fails in Oklahoma, it will be the
prohibitionists themselves who
will be to blame.
Gov. Lee Cruce has shifted
the burden onto their shoulders.
By the end of the year, ten
thousand citizens of the state
will be bearing commissions from
the governor authorizing them
to act as special deputy enforce
ment officers under the prohibi-
ton law.
This is your law" the gov
ernor has said to them. in effect.
"You voted for it, and it is up to
you to create and maintain a SEN
timent favorable to its enforce
ment. If you do not make good
the blame is on you and not on
the state administration. The
commission hand you authoriz-
es you to use all lawful means to
enforce the law. You can make
arrests, you can prosecute, you
can raid, you can confscate liq-
uor, you can tear out gambling
dens, you can have all the liber-
ties and privileges vouchsafed to
the man elected to any Office in
the state with power to enforce
the law. But / have no money
to pay you. There are no avail
able funds for that purpose. 1t
is up to your philanthropic, law
abiding, law-loving citizens to
pay you for your work, if you de-
mand pay"
The biggest issue in Oklahoma
now is prohibition. A bill has
been drafted by a statewide Or
ganization of anti-prohibitionists
to be submitted to the people
next year under the initiative
and referendum law providing
for repeal of the prohibition par
agraph of the constitution and
the substitution Of local option.

Or. Bells Antiseptic SaIve
Good for all Skin Diseases.

Every candidate for the legisla-
ture will be called upon to take a
stand and the fight will center
in each county on the election of
a sheriff and a county attorney.
In each county and in many
townships and precincts there
are law and order leagues which
will cooperate with the Anti
Saloon league. The Woman's
Christian temperance union, the
Epworth League. the Christian
Endeavor and other religious or
CARNATIONS are getting ready for
the fight.
While it is generally admitted
that the prohibition law is toler-
ably we'll enforced in about 70
per cent. of the precincts of the
state, there is no doubt that sen
timent against statewide prohi-
bition has been growing. Last
year measure to repeal the
prohibition ordinance of the con-
stitution was defeated by a ma
jority of about 25, ZOO. The or
dinance was adopted in 1907 by
a majority of nearly 1000.
These special enforcement Of
ficers in some communities have
dampened the ardor of the reg
ularly elected officers.
At Sapulpa the city marshall
arrested an enforcement officer
on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. Gov. Cruce i'm
mediately pardoned him and an
nounced that he would pardon all
others as fast as arrested. He
said he would appoint 500 men
in Oklahoma City to enforce the
law if necessary. A suit has
been filed in the district court at
Sapulpa to test the constitution
atty of the law under which dep.
uty enforcement officers are ap.
pointed.
In counties where the law is
being rigidly enforced authori,
ties have ordered that all county
convicts be worked on the public
highways. These men, wearing
white shirts and stiff collars anC
$40 suits of clothes, have beer
placed beside common criminals
each with a pick or a shovel, t
work in the hot sun on a public
road.
Some of our prominent citi
zens are now working on thu
road" said a county attorney
"You would be surprised Il
know the character of some Of
these men. Some of them have
made thousands of dollars in the
