Arkansas River Bed Segregated.

The state school land department.
Thursday. segregated the entire bed
of the Arkansas river from Fort
Smith to the Kansas line, the action
being taken to secure the states in
terests in valuable oil lands along the
stream.
The stream has been declared nayi-
gable by the United States govern
ment. and the segregation extends to
high water mark on both sides, includ-
ing all territory within the meander
lines. The land consequently is with
drawn from lease for oil and gas pur-
poses. Some of the best oil lands in
the state have been found along the
banks of the stream, and as a result
of the land commissioners action, it
cannot be leased for drilling purposes
by parties other than the state.-Ok-

New Congressional Act.


One of the greatest embargoes pro-
hibitionists have had to encounter is
that holding of the courts declaring
interstate shipments of intoxicating
liquors continued to De Interstate
in character until they reach the
hands of the Consignee. This has not
been the result of phras-twisting or
bench acrobatics. but those decisions
sustaining the RUE declare it is bas-
ed upon a clear conception OF what
Interstate commerce law says and
actually intends. Following this pO-
sition they reason that if the inter-
state commrce law permits the citizen
to receive a shipment, and protects
it while in transit, then the citizen
i entitled to secure actual possession
of the goods, whether it he at the rail-
road station or at his place of busi-
ness. or home. Some courts have
held that the citizens right to himself
carry the liquor from the depot to his
residence, upon Tie theory that the
residence was where it was intended
to go, and it made no difference what
the agency of actual delivery was.
Once the liquor reached the place of
ultimate consignment, then the State
law would attach.
Five years ago the prohibition ad-
vOCates came to the realization that
State laws by themselves would not
bring ABOUT a desired condition. 1t
was plain that substantial aid would
have to come through congressional
enactment. and they foresaw the pos
siblity of a sharp conflict between
the State and Federal rules respect
ing interstate commerce. For sew
eral years there has been gradual
tightening of the rores, in which the
interstate commerce law has lost none
of 4ts potency, but the line of demark-
alton of the two .ules appears more
definitely drawn and in more certain
language. The last step was in the
federal low requiring the labelling of
intoxicants so that would be notice
to all concerned of what the ship
ment contained and because an aid
to the state regulation, in that every
question of contents was predeter-
mined. The fact there is such a
law eXtant makes it more certain
that former Indian Territory will re

BOOM STARTED FOR
JUDGE {, B, STUART
FOLLOWING HIS ADDRESS IRE
CALL OF JUDGES" STATE BAR
ASSN. SEEK TO HONOR HIM.

Will the Oklahoma State Bar asso-
citation pass a resolution Friday rec
ommending to President William H..
Taft that he appoint Judge c. B..
Stuart as member of the United
States supreme court?
Such a proposition was openly dis
cussed Thursday evening after Judge
Stuart had made lis address on The
Recall of Judges which students of
judicial history openly claimed to be
the ablest paper OF the kind ever de-
lvered in the United States. Judge
Stuart was the second federal judge
ever appointed in Oklahoma, while
he has always been democrat polit'
ically. and he has always been consid-
cred one of the ablest jurists in the
state.
In his address Thursday Judge
Stuart defended the integrity and hon
or of the bench, and in positive Ian
guage declared that the proT Tosed re-
call of the judiciary would be back
ward step for the American republi.
He called attention to the fact that
Chief Justice John Marshall, Chief
Justice Roger b. Tanley and Justice
Mansfield, three of the strongest
jurists the country has ever produced,
probably would Lave been recalled
if such a provision had been within
the reach of the people, and that their
recall would have done incalculable
harm to the entire structure of Amer
lean Jurisprudence.
He also declared that from the time
of Chief Justice John Marshall down
to the present, the judiciary had been
the bulwark of the constitution, and
that the manner of the selection OF
| the judiciary of the nation and the
states. and the manner in which JUS
! tice had been dispensed was refuta-
ton enough of all claims that a recall
should be inserted in the constitution
of any of the states or of the fed
eral government.
'If a certain percentage of dissatis
fled people can pat Judge of high
court in this land upon the rack and
hold him up to the eXecration of his
fellow citizens, how shall We get good
men to go upon the bench?' asked
Judge Stuart.
He also called attention to the fact
that in case of Impeachment a judge
would be entitled to a fair trial with
witnesses, while, in the case Of a re
call, he would have to submit his
case to the people directly on plain
statement of facts.-Oklahoman.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 2l-The
statement that the Oklahoma Criminal
Court Of Appeals held, in constituting
the amended lrohibition Law OF the
third legislature, that one could have
all the liquor he wanted, and in any
amount" hardly states the situation
fairly. 1t did hold that the legisla-
ture had no authority to limit the
amount OF intoXicants the citizen
could possess, but with it went no
edict that the state could not inquire
into the good faith of the citizen S
so to speak, remains in force.
To illustrate: The interstate com
merce law recognized liquor as lesi-
innate item of commerce between the
states, therefore a citizen may pro-
cure it for his pe'scnal use, over
which there would be no question, yet
if he purchased a car load, the law
assumes that TO be 100 mucn, lOr per
sonal and convenient consumption,
therefore the amount continues to be
an element of good or bad faith.
The legislature in proposing TO lin
it the citizen to one quart of whskey,
etc, went beyond its legal right Had
it been specified that the possession
of more than one quart was prima
facie evidence of an intent to violate
the law. thea the burden of Iroof
would have been shifted to the pos
SCISSOR, and it would have been up TO
him to show that none of the goods
was intended for illegal purposes.
With such or similar verbiage the law
would have stood up" in that re-
spect.

Like Food and Drug

There is to be or has been a bill of
fered in the United States senate
which it is believed, draws the afore-
said line of demarkation about as
tight as it possibly could be without
severing the legal strands. Realizing
the impossibility of declaring that in
toXicating liquors shall become sub
iect to police regulations of a state
as soon as they cross the state line
in interstate commerce. the new idea
follows the rule laid down in the food
and dru gact, and allows the state a
procedure by which the legal status
of the liquor may be fixed. In other
words as soon as the liquor crosses
the State line. the new law will not
rrevent the State from compelling
the consignee to go into court and
prove that the liquors are not intend
ed for violating the state law. Such
procedure must be based upon legi-
innate action. An agent for the state,
for instance. may so before a magis-
trate and declare under oath that he
has reason to believe that n given
shipment is intended for illegal pur-
poses. and then it will be incumbent

FOURTH OF JULY ACCIDENTS.

FOURTH OF JULY 4ACCIpEN =.
The celebration Of the Fourth OF
July this year resulted in flfty-seven
deaths as the price OF the national
celebration, OF which ten were caused
BY tetanus and forty-seven by hre-
works. OF these. twelve we're burned
10 death, most OF them being girls ana
little children, eleven died from gun
shot wounds, nine from explosions OF
powder and dynamite. two from giant
NRre-crackers, five from explosions OF
\ cannon and eight from other forms OF
fireworks. There were 1915 non
fatal injuries, making total OF killed
and injured for 1911 of 1903. These
figures, startling as they are. snow
m gratifying reduction from previous
years says the Journal OF the Amerl-
can Medical association. TN q recent
number. giving it's ninth annual COM
pilation Of deaths and injuries result
Ing from the celebration Of the Fourth
OF July. from which report the above
Apr1res are taken. This report also
tabulates the figures for the past nine
wears. showing that since 1903 there
have been 1,719 deaths and 37,410 in
iured as result of Fourth Of July &C.
cidents. OF these, 100 were completely
blinded, SIT lost one eye each, 1862 lost
lees. arms or hands and 1924 lost one
or more fingers.
esThe grand total for the nine years
shows that thirty-seven regiments OF
American men. women and children
have been mutilated for life and that
nearly two regiments have been killed
the Journal says. This is the price
that the American people have paid in
nine years for our present barbarous
methods Of celebrating our national
independence day. Horrifying as the
facts are, however, there has been
marked reduction in the number of &C
cidents in recent years. In 1903 there
were 466 killed and 1888 injured IN
1909 the deaths numbered 215 and the
Injured 6,O92. Last year there were
131 deaths and 2,792 injured. The
figures this year are therefore lower
than any time in the past decade.
Marked Improvement Is shown IN
the larger cities In 1907 New York
city reported twenty-five deaths, chi
cago sixteen and Pittsburg ten; this
year New York City has three deaths.
Chicago two and Pittsburg one. In
1867 etwenty-seven cities had from one
to ive deaths each, while this year
there were only thirteen cities which
reported any deaths"

Journal shows the figures for the last
nine wears:

STANDS BY CONVICTIONS.

",rhe president stood manfully by
his convictions, as he always does,
and the result is that Arizona must

ion before admission is permitted. =
This Is the way the Minneapolis Jour
nal sums up the presidents action In

statehood resolution, which resulted
In the adoption of new resolution
with the offending portions left out.
"There is irresistible force IN man
who stands by his convictions, the
Journal continues. "The time server,
and the dodger melt away before him.
The opportunist gives way, and the
trimmer makes the best OF the situa-
lion. The president felt the response

states should be right. He knows that
the peopleof Arizona can change their

his. He will start Arizona of on the
right path. If she strays later on,
that is her affair. If she tries judi
riery recall she will get as hard a

post guaranty.
.The force of strong conviction, fol-
lowed without regard for political con-
sequences, was illustrated also in the
success of the presidents veto OF ts-
wool bill. Enough insurgent republi-
cans in the house were impressed by
HIS arguments to prevent the passage

dent demonstrates anew that politics

may be gained from the published

they sold out two carloads of automo-

be having an equally successful year.
