rage are those known as the tene-
ment house districts, occupied by the
foreign population She says that
some of the choicest souls are to be
found in those districts and that from

To DEFEND
ELECTION
OFFICIALS
GOV. CRUCE AUTHORIZED
TO EMPLOY SPECIAL
COUNSEL
sneclal to DallY Leader.

Special to Daily Leader.
Oklahoma City. Okla, Feb. 4-Un'
der a resolution passed in both
houses Friday by strict party vote,
Governor Cruce was authorized to
employ attorneys TO conduct the de-
tense OF the state election officials
who We're recently indicted by the
Federal grand jury at Guthrie, where
the indictments were based on their
actions in enforcing the constitution
end laws of this state. The legisla-
ture pledges itself TO make appro-
priation for their payment.
The position taken by members OF
the legislature is that If the officials
in question excluded from voting
only such negroes as are barred UNI
der the grandfather clause, they COM
mitted no offense, while if they ex-
cmded negroes who were entitled to
vote under that provision of the con-
stitution they were violating the laws
Of the state and should have been
prosecuted In the state courts.
The house also. passed the resolu-
ton by Anthony, Crawford and Clark
OF Atoka, providing for an investiga-
tion of the charge that conspiracy
had been entered into between Fed
eral officials and Republican lead - 5
to harass election officials who tried
to enforce the grandfather clause No
action was taken on that resolution
in the senate.

The house bill by Miller of No
wata, Charles and Vogel, extending
the time for payment of taxes, which
was once passed by both houses on
account of legal objections raised by
the governor, had still further trou

senate on final roll call after it hac

ing and will be in readiness to present

tlon to be held in Washington In Octo.
ber.
A majority OF the members OF the
committee favor the entire abolition Of
the express companies as useless mid
dlemen and as "barnacles and parasites
of the commerce OF the nation" Con.
gress will probably be asked at its next
session to enact immediate legislation
to govern the express business. Three
plans will be suggested for adoption
Regulation of express rates by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, acqui-
sition and operation Of express compa-
nies by the government, or the estab-
lishment Of a government parcels post
which would, If made broad enough,
put the express companies out of busl-
ness. Government ownership, most OF
the committee members agree, is the
least satisfactory of the three plans
proposed.
1t is pointed out by the Investigators
that one express company iscapltalized
at 81 100000 and represents an original
investment Of s71,2sO. Last year its
gross receipts we're $2,l64,4S5, and net
profits nearly 100000.
1t has developed that any attempt to
bring about general slash OF express
rates will be fought by the railroads.
The attitude Of the railways In the
matter has long been problematic, but
now that the question is nearing an is
sue. the men behind the railroads are
showing their hands. Representatives
of number oiimportant lines have an

ously against the express rate cut, and

Frank Clark
SingsPraises
Tells Congress Some of
Florida s Beauties.
Eloquent Plea for Government
Recognition of Key Vests
Magnificent Celebration.

Under the heading "Florida's Sweet
est Singer" the New York Sun makes
the following editorial comment upon
Congressman Frank Clark's recent
speech in behalf OF government aid OF
the completion Of the over-the sea ex-
tension of the Florida East Coast Rail-
way at Key West.
The mockingbird of the Vale Of the
Kissimmee never gushed a song so full
ofrapture as fell from the lips OF the
Hon. Frank Clark Iof the Second Flor
ida District, in the House, on Tuesday,
when he spoke by unanimous consent
In support OF his resolution to celebrate
on January 2, 1912, with the help Of
'all foreign nations and the army and
navy Of the United States, the compile
tlon Of the Florida East Coast Railway
Extension to Key West.
"Mr. Clark's resolution, following a
form of renunclaton more honored in
the breach than in the observance, pro-
tests that under no circumstances Is
the United States to assume, be subject
to or charged with any expense Of any
character whatsoever in or about or
connected with such proposed celebra-
tion.' But government aid will not be
necessary when the people know what
an unrivaled treasure house Of natural
beauty, what lana Of spell and allure
ment, they have in Florida, hitherto
sung tnly by the feeble pipes OF un-
gifted land promoters and winter resort
vocabulists,
eve are aware that no extract can
do justice to Mr., Clark's passionate
paen on Florida as well try to convey
the unprecedented rapture of mock
ing bird by fugitive notes, But, un-
fortunately the government printing
presses cannot work fast enough to
put The whole Grafton within the reach
Of everybody, and parts OF it must be
quoted in justice to MIR. Clrrk and to
account for the almost contin lors ap-
plause of the House. With the help Of
asterisks to indicate that the stars sang
together while the inspired Floridian
was speaking, we will try to give no.
tion OF the richness and sweetness of
the performance.
Nowhere 10 all the habitable globe
does the sun shine with such resplend-
ent glory as 10 Florida ;.no painters
brush can transfer to canvas the raw
ishlng beauty of moonlight night in
Florida no pen can picture nor can
any imagination conceive the trans
c.ndent beauty Of her landscape, the
fertility of her soil, the luxuriance Of
her tropical fruits and flowers, the rich
perfume of which is borne in riotous
proiusion on every passing breeze.
But. Mr.. Speaker, while Florida as she
fell from the fingers Of the Creator bore
the stamp Of the beautiful and lovely
and seemed to be all that could be de.
sired in the way Of au earthly abiding
place for man. 1t must not be under-
stood that she is nothing more than
garden OF lovely flowers aud delicious
fruits. Untold wealth is embedded in
her generous bosom y - Jackson
