The Lady Revfses.
Often had young Ellis Law
renee DunraVen longed in his
heart to pen an ode to the eye
brow of his fair mistress. Like
all true poets he had written of
this, that and the other-but new
er had he dared to pen lines to
Miss Pamela Higgins. For the
lady called a spade spade, and
saw no beauty i'll the purple
dawn.
In an hour such as all true
poets have, however, young Dun
raven succumbed. The result was
an 8o-line poem about Mistress
Pamela Higgins. Then Pegasus
fell with a bump and sprawl,
and the poet was afraid to go and
tell the lady. AT last, however,
the beauty of it all worked on
him again and he buckled on a
white vest and the kind of limp,
soiled lavender tie that poets af-
feet, and told her all about it.
1T is called Lines to, Aphro-
dite," said the poet.
"HumphY' seoffed Miss Hig-

Dunraven, in confused delight.
''That is the idea, if you will per-
nit. 1t will disturb. the rhythm

Taxes For the Years 1911 and 1912.
The estimate by the excise board
for the expenses of running Craig
county, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1912, shows that levy of 4,1S
mills was made for county purposes,
and that it required $S9,3S5.42 taxes
for that year, which covers the back
Indebtedness of the previous year,
The estimate of the excise board
for this year shows that 3 mill levy
win be sufficient, and that $7s,743.37
will be all that will be necessary for
county purposes, making a difference
of about S1l, 100000 lower than last
year.
The estimates for 1911 and ~ show
that when the present administration
came into office there was an out
standing Indebtedness against the
court fund of $4O5O.O4, which means
the county court fund, and the esti-
mate for this year shows that there
is now in the hands of the treasurer
of warrants not issued, out of the
county court fund, the sum of $4038.59,
making total of over $S.OOO.O0 clear
ed during the present administration,
and the levy for last year for the
court fund was one mill and six-tenths
of mill, and for this year is fifty
five one-hundredths of a mill, making
under the present administration
about one-half the amount required
for court purposes as has heretofore
been required, thus showing that the
taxes for court purposes are cut half
in two during the present administra-
ton.

v. f. GILL TO
TAHLEQUAH SCHOOL
Board of Education Scores Point in
Controversy With cruce.

Oklahoma City, Oct 1.-State Su-
perintendent R. H. Wilson, ex-officio
chairman of the state board of educa-
ton, scored a point today in the con-
troversy between Governor Cruce and
the board, when he announced the Sc.
lection by the old board> of w. f. Gill
OF Pawhuska to be president of the
Northeastern State Norman school at
Tahlequah.
Gill is one of the men named recent
ly by the governor as members of the
board of education TO succeed three
old members who were removed sum-
marily by the governor, but who re-
fused to recognize his authority. He
is county superintendent of Usage
county and president of the State
Teachers Association.
His appointment to the presidency
of the Tahlequah school is made to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Frank E. Buck.

Tuesday He has not rendered his
resignation to the governor as a mem
Der of the board and Governor Cruce
had no intimation of the Tahlequah ap-
pointment until today. 1t is learned
that Bucks resignation was submitted
to Superintendent Wilson early last
week. Gill was here Friday in con-
ference with Wilson, but at that time
it was given out as being only a
friendly call.

a short while before the two men were
engaged In a bitter quarrel. and the

out, with the remark that he would
kill his opponent The man on the
ground fired one shot into the car door
and heard the man in the door fall
back and say, "oh! My God, I'm
killed" The man who did the shoot

GENERAL CHOAS
IN REPUBLICAN
PARTY RANKS

Oklahoma City, Oct. 1.-The repnbli-
can conference in this city Monday
afternoon is generally regarded by
those who are on the inside as en-
phasizing the disorganization and
general chaos existing in the republi-
can machine. Chairman Geisler's
call invited all state central commit
teemen, one from each county, all
county chairmen, seventy-six of each,
all legislative candidates including
ninety-nine for representative and
twenty-four for senator. the ten cleo
toral candidates, the eight candidates
for congress, and the candidates for
judge of the supreme court and the
criminal court of appeals, and for rail
road commissioner, TO attend the con-
ference
II there had been a comnlote re-
Isponse to this he would have had a
convention of 296 members, whose de-
Iliberations would have required hall
of considerable size. But there was
nothing like this number present, and
the conference was held in small
room at hotel Only a. few of the
legislative candidates responded. Not
leven all of the men on the state ticket
put in their appearance. Candidates
for congress were conspicuous by their
absence and only about dozen com
mitteemen were present.
The resolutions which purport to
be the party platform follow pretty
closely the platform adopted by the
democratic state convention Every
good thing in the resolutions is taken
almost bodily from the democratic
platform Any declaration on national
issues or any statement that would in-
dicate the position of the republican
party Of this state with respect to the
presidential contest is conspicuously
omitted The conference entirely
Ignored the question as to whether re-
publicans should support Roosevelt or
Taft, furnishing another detail in the
circumstantial evidence proving a com
Ibination between the Bull Moose and
the Elephant
Though pretending to be regular
republican conference to outline the
policies and plan of campaign for the
regular republican party in this state
| it did not have the courage to declare
where it stands in the presidential
contest The question as to whether
or not the regular republican electors
are for Roosevelt or Taft was ignored.
Thus the people of Oklahoma are
given another demonstration of the
fact that the remnant of the republi-
can machine in this state is prepared
to enter into any sort of deal, even
to the extent of treachery to the reg
ular republican ticket in the presi-
dental contest to promote its desper-
ate efforts to capture some of the Of
fees in Oklahoma.

GOVERNOR CRUCE
IS IN DOUBT
State Superintendent And Deposed
Members Educational Board Score
Point in Controversy.

Oklahoma City, Oct 1-State SUI
perintendent Wilson and the three de-
posed members of the state board of
education today scored a point in their
controversy with Governor Cruce
when they announced through the
state superintendent department the
appointment of w E. Gill of Paw
.huska as president. of the Tahlequah
normal to succeed Frank e. Buck, re-
signed. Gill was one of those recently
named by Governor Cruce as a mem
ber of the state board of education in
place of the three deposited members.
It was learned tonight that Bucks res
ignation was rendered a week ago.
Governor Cruce said he had not issued
a commission to Gill as a new board
member, neither ha dhe intimation
that the place would not be accepted.
OF couse, if Gill takes the Tahlequah
place, which pays $1,000 per year, the
governor says that action would elm
mite him from the new educational
board The position of Gin will be
somewhat uncertain, it is thought, ow-
ing to the doubtful authority Of the

he calls old Trouble" and from what
we saw this morning he has the right
name Mrs. Bramble had to come in
the bank and get Mr. Martin to call
his dog out of her surry that was tied
out in front OF the bank. He had
made his bed right up in the front
seat. Trouble" is big white bull
dog that will not weigh less than a
hundred pounds and was imported
here from Germany. His looks is
enough to bluff the bravest of men,

true to his name. He had no longer
been taken out of the surry before he
found another buggy hitched near
that he seemed to think was just a
little bit better He got clean up in
the back of this buggy top that chanc-

sleep, but he had hardly got to sleep
before his heavy weight bursted
through the back of the buggy and he
came tumbling to the ground. He was
then invited into the bank, and we left
about that time.

THE TARIFF
IS THE ISSUE

New York, Oct. Miss Allyne ".
.Scheerer, secretary of the professional
Women's Wilson and Marshall League
of which Miss Willette Kershaw is
president has just made public the re-
suit of her post card canvass which
she sent out to the women in the vari-
Gus political organizations asking them
what they considered the vital issues
of the campaign this fall. About forty
per cent of the answers stated that
the tariff was the paramount issue;
thirty per cent were of the opinion
that the laws enacted in New Jersey
under Governor Wilson's administra-
tion relative to the employment of
women and children were of the most
Importance, many of these women ex-
pressed the opinion that the laws
along this line would become national
in the event of Wilson's election.
The pure food laws for which Dr.
Harvey w. Wiley. former chief chem
ist of the department of agriculture,
has been the great exponent, seems
to come next.
Miss Seheerer is laying special
stress on the latter subject and dur
ing the next week will distribute pam
phlets calling the attention to the lack
of the enforcement of pure food laws
under the former and present republi-
can administration, quoting Dr. Wiley,
Miss Scheerer says:
Can we safely trust the campaign
of public health to Mr.. Roosevelt? 1
cannot believe that to be the proper
couse. Mr. Taft inherited this ex-
eeedingly bad condition of affairs
from his predecessor and has not only
continued this illegal board, under
whose patronage adulterators are still
poisoning the people, but he did worse.
In the matter of adulteration of dis
titled beverages in which Roosevelt
upheld Illegally constituted authori-
ties, Mr.. Taft reversed that policy and
through the mighty weight of the ex-
ecutive office to the support of the
worse lot of adulterators that ever
disgraced the country.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Marshall by
their strenuous efforts in behalf of the
food laws OF their respective states
have given positive promise to end
such threatening state of affairs.
They vi!l support to the utmost the
officials ul.der the law who are try
ing to protect the public health and
will max short shift of those who
have brought about these present nn-
bearable conditions.
Mrs. J Borden Marriman's efforts
in the east continue to show pronounc.
ed results and Miss Willette Kerr
shaw's western campaign has been
successful beyond expectations.
Miss Scheerer who is also secretary
of the National Association of Advey-
tising Women is planning a banquet
to be given to Governor Wilson by
that organization in October
