GRANT VICTOR
MAY SIT ON LID
The United States Marshal's office
at Muskogee is Waiting For
Instructions.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 17.-Grant
Victor. United States marshal, return
ed yesterday from Washington, where
he has been in consultation with Attor-
ney General Wickersham and officials
of the department of the interior with
reference to the enforcement of the
statute barring liquor from the old In
dian Territory.
Mr.. Victor says that it was too big
a subject for the officials to decide in
few days but that he thought they
would reach some sort of decision with.
ing ten days. He says if they tell him
to go after the liquor dealers and those
having it in their possession, that he
will certainly do so without fear or
favor and that he will enforce the law
as instructed if it requires a hundred
deputies.
There seems to be a general feeling
now that the officials are going to hold
that the old Indian Territory is still
under the act of 1887, under which
"Pussyfoot" Johnson worked and that
conditions of territorial days will be
restored. There also was some rumor
yesterday that the marshal's Office was
taking note of all the liquor charges
which are being made by the county
and city officers with the ultimate pur
pose of taking the mup under the fed
eral law if they are asked to put the
lid on.
1t is said-that they are doing this
with the idea that it will be easier fol
them to take up all these cases and inn
pose sentences than it will for them to
put out men and make the raids all
over again. Mr. Victor refused tc
state whether or not this was being
done and refused to express an opin
ion as to how the question would be
decided but he was very positive in
his assertion that he would put or
the lid if told it is his duty.
Mr. Victor said that he would put
on forty men to start with if the de
cision of the court of appeals is held
to be a correct Interpretation of the
law.

WILL ASK COURT TO
AUTHORIZE BONDS
Win Make Slight Raise in Taxes as
Levy For $4,000 Issue Has Been
Made For Two Years.

The city council met in call session
last night for the purpose of taking
up the proposition of issuing $4,000
funding bonds, for the purpose of TAX
ing up the old warrants, issued in
1907, 1908, and 1909, for which there
were no funds to pay.
The attorney general has just re-
Gently refused to approve the $4,000
issue, voted by the citizens in 1909, to
take up Il q warrants up to that time.
The attorney gave as his reason for
refusing to approve this issue tnat the
proper procedure had not been fol-
lowed He also pointed out the way
in which this matter could be disposed
of, as it had been in several other
towns, the bonds for which the su-
preme court of the state mandamused
him to approve.
A representative of Splitter & Co.,
OF Toledo, Ohio, met with the council
last night and offered to purchase these
bonds and furnish all blank bonds,
legal procedure, etc, necessary to get
the issue approved. The bonds will
be taken at their par value. That is
the bond company will, in effect, cash
all of the old warrants at par, if one
thousand dollar, twenty-five year 6 per
cent bonds are issued for each thou
sand dollars worth of the warrants so
purchased.
After considering the matter care
fully, the council decided to accept
this proposition, and an ordinance was
passed providing for the issuance of
$4,000 bonds. This will take up the
entire outstanding Indebtedness, ex-
cept the bonded Indebtedness of the
city, and will place the city on cash
basis. The issue will also take up
the interest on these warrants.
The procedure for this issue will be
through the district court, and in the
ordinance, published elsewhere in this
issue, the date is fixed for hearing
in the court, at which time any tax
payer may demonstrate against the is
suance of these bonds.

The Revival.

Or. Mcintosh preached his strongest

Phillips sang Diamonds in the

names for membership in the different
churches of the city, give strong men
went farward on the proposition that
they would think about their condition
and try to decide for Christian lives.
One man told the writer today that
he had thrown away enough of his life
and that with his wife, they We're go
inf to join the church and live for
Christ.
Rev. Phillips led the service this
morning at which many men and wo-
men, with feeling, asked for Chris
tians to join with them in praying for
their loved ones.

SENATOR GORE
IS FOR WILSON

Washington, d. c., Jan 17.-Reply-
ing to an interview attributed to Gov
ernor Haskell to the effect that both
the Oklahoma senators favor the nom
ination of Clark for the presidency,
Senator Gore yesterday gave out the
following statement
81 have no doubt Governor Haskell
was incorrectly reported. | favor Will
sons nomination and shall continue
to favor him until final roll call at
Baltimore. Wilson's prospects were
never brighter The recent jackson
Day banquet here, was brilliant
Bryan-Wilson ovation. Thirty-two out
of fifty-two national committeeman fa-
vor the Jersey governor. Clark will
not have any more than three states
and Harmon not more than eight. The
ancient enemies of Bryan played their
last frantic card when they published
the JOHN Cooked hat letter. The pub
llication of that letter had two sinsis-
ter designs. First, to put Wilson and
Bryan asunder to divide the progres.
sive democrats and. conquer them;
second, to infiame the animosity and
resentment of Bryan's faithful friends
and followers and cause them to de-
sert Wilson and this recruit by whole
or half votes, the campaigns of priv.
lilege and the enemies of Bryan.
"The former purpose failed. Mr.
Bryan was too big to be cajoled. He
lnaiyely observed that the publication
of the Jeline letter was the best pos
sible proof that Wilson was not under
the control of special interests and
was not expected to be subseryient to
big business.
THE second purpose will not sue
ceed. Mr.. Bryan is reported as saying
that democracy must have progres
sive candidate, and that Wilson is the
most progressive candidate in the field
If Wilson is good enough for Bryan he
/ is good enough for Bryans friends and
they will not become plant tools oi
his enemies.
The nomination of Wilson is as
well assured at this time as anything
1political and future can ever be. il
the democracy of Oklahoma is opposed
to him and it favors either Clark OF
Harmon, it has right to register its
will and to have its will respected. Let
the victor have the delegation, but
there must be no wolves in Sleeps
clothing, no reactionaries in progres
sive clothing, no anti-Bryan men ii
Bryan's clothing Democracy canno
win under the sign of the double
cross
We want no quarrel in Oklahons
or out of oklahoma We want unit
ed plaalnx and a splendid triumph. i
we fail, it will be suicide not homi
eide

Many Farms Lack system.

Editor Chieftain 1t was not \in
the dim past that was visiting re-
putable householde. When milking
time arrived the calf and milkman had
race as to who would get the greater
share of the milk. The calf hunched,
and the man cussed, and the COW got
a beating. Instead of that COW aver
aging three gallons of milk per day
fer 800 days during the year she was
dry in less than six months.
On another farm quite bunch of
cows were "pailed" They were driven
back and forth from the field to the
milking pen by boy and lot of
dogs. They were fed on the grounds
and "stabled" on the prairie. Instead
of each of these COWS giving three
gallons per day, three of them failed
to give a gallon of milk per day That
man don't think milch cows pays
On a third farm the COWS, hogs and
chickens all ran in the same lot. The
calves cried until 10 o'clock a. M, be-
fore they got to breakfast. The cows
bawled to be MIXED and to be let to
their young. The hogs squealed for
feed and the farmer laid up in bed
until o'clock because it was bad
weather. The chances are that these
pictures are not as uncommon as some
people might think.
The demagogue has been bowling
10 these many years for sympathy for
the poor farmer, and the poor laboring
man. It's a needless waste of time
and nervine.
They hold the balance Of power The
country is flooded with newspapers
that are Offering every up-to-date
method of uplift If they wanted bet
ter times, better opportunities they
have nothing to do but to get busy.
There is no royal road to success
without labor, industry, economy and
working brains. If kept in working
order would Danish poverty disease
and famine. The idea of something
for nothing is a delusion and snare.

a state capitol


Governor Cruce has seized on this
ASA reason for calling the special ses-
sion. believing that with this idea in
view he can aceede to the many de-
mands made On him. and at the same
time not black track On his refusal to
call the session for the purpose OF re-
dlstrlcting the state
It can be stated however. that while
the capitol legislation will be named
in the call as the reason for getting
the legislature together, the redistrict-
ing matter will undoubtedly occupy
a larger portion of the legislatures
time. This, however. depends entirely
on whether Governor Cruce is really
acting in good faith, and on how far
his control of the legislature goes.

Fast Mail Train to Continue.

The Katy fast mail will not be dis
continued as has been reported. The
Frisco fast mail out Of St. Louis has
been late so much during the last six
months as to cause friction between
the two roads and the threat of. the
Katy to cancel the fast mail contract
from Vinita to Denison, but when the
Frisco made preparation to put on a
fast mail train from Monet to Paris
Texas, the Katy is said to have backed
up. For the present at least the Katy
fast mail train will continue. There
will be change in the Katy trair
schedule however next Sunday.

CRUCE WILL CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
Free" Capitol Settling Down to State
Expense-"Re Reasons" Fer Move
is Plainly Seen.

Tulsa. Okla. Jan, l7.-From a semi
official and reliable source, The World
has learned that Governor Lee Cruce
will call a special session of the state
legislature to meet about March Is
The astensible purpose Of the special
session will be to enact some state
capitol legislation, as a result of Ok
lahoma City's latest attempt to foist
the expense of building the state home
onto the state itself.
For the past two weeks, persistent
rumors of a special session, emanating
from semi-ofiicial circles. have been
in the air and have created more than
little interest in all circles. A pub
lie official, very close to Governor
Cruce. stated to a reporter yesterday
that the proclamation calling a special
session had already been prepared and
would be announced before very long.
The clamoring is Strong.
If this be true, and there is no rea-
son to believe that it is not, there
will be much rejoicing among the
democratic politicians" of the state,
who have been elamoring for a special
session of the state legislature ever
since the national congress passed the
congressional reapportionment bill.
Governor Cruce has steadfastly refus-
ed to accede to the demands from all
sides that he call special session for
the purpose of passing a redistricting
bill, he stating that he did not believe
that such legislation was important
enough to put the state to an expense
of 100000 that a special session
would cost
Pressure OF all kinds has been
brought to bear on the governor, and
he has almost been read out of the
party by politicians who have accused
him of playing into the hands of the
republican party.
Easy to End Reason
About three weeks ago Oklahoma
City devised new scheme to build
the state capitol, which it long ago
pledged to do without a cent of cost
to the state. This new plan actually
means that the state will bear the
largest amount of the cost of building
