SUIT SUGGESTED
TO TEST CASE
Sand Men Meet State Officials in Ef-
fort to Settle Contract Matter
of Operation.

Oklahoma City, May 14.-After a
half days session between represen-
tatiyes of sand companies and the
board of school land commissioners
over the exclusive contract voted to
the Builders Sand and Gravel company
of Oklahoma City and Muskogee, moth
ing was done and some of those at the
meeting lost their temper.
The drift of the conference was in
the directicA OF a settlement whereby
the sand men We're either to pay the
state 21ac per square yard net or &c,
allowing the state something for max
ing collections of the royalties. This
would necessitate revocation of the
exclusive contract held by the build
ers' company, Governor Cruce said
and added that the board would have
to find out whether it could do SO. The
san men, represented by i. ]. Martin,
ex-mayor of Tulsa, and Irwin Donovan
of Muskogee, wanted the market left
open SO any one paying the price could
take sand and gravel, but vehemently
resented the idea that they should pay
back royalties. They had operated,
they said, with the belief that the
river beds were free.
Mr.. Martin agreed that the states
first effort should be to establish the
states right to the sand and gravel,
saying that the operators disputed it.
yet were willing to pay part of the ex-
pense of friendly suit to have the
question settled
Governor Cruce said he was against
the contract when it was voted, and
was still against it, but that members
Of the board in voting it to the build
ers company thought they were get
ting the most revenue possible. The
governor intimated that the sand men
were not sincere when they urged the
conclusive contract be abrogated, but
that they hopep to be able to continue
without paying the state a royalty as
had been the case since statehood.
Mr.. Martin charged that the COVER
nor and members of the board had not
acted in good faith This opinion was
shared by Mr.. Donovan also.
Il am not inclined to attach much
weight to the opinions of you men, 3"
retorted the governor, since you come
here as paid attorneys
Mr. Martin stopped on his way out
of the executive office long enough to
deny that he received either pay or
expenses.
The net result of the meeting is the
implied understanding that the con-
tract will be revoked, providing the
board can be assured that the state
will receive a fair royalty from the
various companies wanting to oper-
ate, at least until the courts should
say the state had no right to the river
beds.

A New WoIk in South Park.

A great many business men and fam
lilies spend more money in single

willing to give for the new walk in
South Park which is soon to be built.
The school children will use it and the
business public need it and the
churches and Sunday schools are eff
fected by it when even the streets are
muddy. List of names and amounts
will be published later and full state
ment of cost. etc.

THE ELECTRIC COBBLER.

When the great shoe factories DEM
onstrated that they could make boots
and shoes better and cheaper than
the best hand cobblers these knights
of the awl and last were relegated to
the pastor they managed to eke out
meager living by repairing worn
boots and shos.
And now comes the electric cobbler
and the days of the hand cobbler and
his bench are numbered. The electric
cobbler, such as can be found in
most large cities, consists of one long
machine, which is, in reality. a num-
ber of machines connected on the
same shaft. This shaft is turned by
an electric motor. The electric cob
bier fixes shoes while you wait. 1t
will sew on a sole. put on patch
fix the heels or refine a shoe in a
very few minutes as all the work Is
done by machinery at a high rate Of
speed. And it is not to be denied
that the finished product is fully as
good as though the best cobbler had
spent a half day on the job. If the
shoe neds re-soling the attendant
picks up and places piece of leath-
er of the right size and the machine
stitches 1t fast to the upper. At the
next machine an emery wheel cuts
down the edge of the sole and trips
it to the right shape. The next ma
chine finishes and polishes the edges.
From the stitching machine to the
polisher is but a step and the work
is done long before the old fashioned
shoemaker could have the shoe fit
ted to the last.

a mistake it is only demonstration
that they are human. like the rest of
us. The sooner an error is admitted
and correctly the better for every
body. Nobody thinks for moment
that either OF the members of the
board have been dishonest. They
have done what in their judgment
seemed best at the time Now that
the Commercial association and the
city council seem likely to take up
an independent investigation. the
board ought to cooperate with them

NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR AID.

Mr.. Logan Waller Page, the Direc-
tor of he office of public roads in
Washinkton in the October Worlds

roads, it is not so easy merely to have
congress vote them into existence as
some people think. The national rev.
enue he points out, is annually only
about s6O0,O00,0OO; and merely to
sprinkle with water our 2,250, 900
miles of road for one summer sea-
son would cost approximately $17S,-

properly would require least $22,-

HIGH COST OF RAILROADING.

Mr.. B. F. Yoakum, who builds rail-
roads and directs their destinies
makes the startling statement in the
Worlds Work for October, that the
railroads are less we'll off than twelve
years ago. AS a reason for this he
gives the increased cost of living for
railroads. Here are a few of the
items he offers. The wages of rail-
road employees are higher than they
were in 1899 to the amount of 800
million dollars; fuel is SO million dol
lars more expensive; taxes have gone
up SO million; the amount paid for
damages to goods in transit has in
creased by 81 million and by IL mil
lion for personal injuries. The gross
earnings of railroads are, of course,
great deal larger now than they
We're "A decade ago; but not enough
larger to balance the enormous in
crease in necessary eXpnditure.

ought to be above personalities. The

tributions.
The disclosures made show moth
ing more nor less than the monstrous
fact that the presidency of the Unit
ej States has been secretly purchased
by trust magnates like Hartman,
Archbold, Morgan and Perkins. 1t is
no exaggeration. The millions that
have been put up by Wall street and
nothing else have served to keep the
old republican party in power. Ii
was such money that elected McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft. The money
was put up for that purpose The
men who put up the money expected
to get value received for their coin
and they have had it, The fact has
been clearly proven and can be PROV
en- a thousand times over if necessary.
1t has been an abominable situa-
ton. we have not had a government
of the people, by the people and for
the people. Amerieanism as il was
known to jefferson and Lincoln has
been dethroned and the power has
passed to an oligarchy of privilege
that has operated stealthily yet ef-
fectively TO advance their own selfish
interests at the general expense. II
has been done so long that We now
have a nation wherein the disparity in
the distribution OF wealth is something
fearful and constitutes a problem
harder to solve than was the slavery
problem because the present trouble
Is nationwide.
Those who want TO find relief can
not find it from either prong of the
republican party. The senate COM
mittee's Investigations show that
Roosevelt is just as much tainted by
support from improper sources as is
Taft. His position on the tariff in the
past has been identical with the pO-
sition of Taft and there is no actual
difference now between the two men
upon that subject. With reference to
trust prosecutions Roosevelt was just
as weak as Taft whom he now criti-
cises. Roosevelt more than any other
man in the country, is responsible for
the existence Of so many trusts to-
day. The principal difference between
Roosevelt and Taft is the former is
more adroit and more spectacular than
his successor.

Dr.. Hartman Describes
the Phrase, Systemic Catarrh

onous mucus Nature is Internationally
poisoning the whole system. That IS
what I call systemic catarrh.
We hear often to-day the term auto
intoXicatiOn, which refers to a cOndi-
ton OF the bowels. The bowels being
clogged UP, they ferment and become
poisoned The system attempts to rec
tify the troubles by absorbing the
poison and carrying it out through the
kidneys The result is sickness, called
auto intoxicatton. 1t is exactly this
kind of thing that happens in systemic
catarrh- The catarrhal secretions that
do not escape by the internal organs
are absorbed by the blood vessels and
carried through the system, and the
result is systemic catarrh.
The remedy I believe to be Peruna.
I believe there is no remedy in the
world that has relieved so many peo-
pie as Peruna. The disease is not al
ways known as systemic catarrh.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, some
times nervous prostratiOn. Sometimes
it assumes the form of anemia, and
then again chronic malaria, also walk
ing typhoid fever.
All these conditions are fully de-
scribed by the term systemic catarrh.
1t is especially prevalent during the
typhoid season, September and October.
I would not consider any other remedy
than Peruna in such cases as these.
Peruna is absolutely a perfect remedy
for systemic catarrh.
