Credit Due Alder.


The inspection board which has
been here all week, is enthusiastic
over the cleanliness Of the city.
Tulsa is the cleanest city in the
state, without a doubt" said one mem-
Der Of the board yesterday. THE dam
gerous fire risks here are far between.
To the Tulsa fire department and its
highly capable chief, r. c. Alder, is
undoubtedly due most Of the credit
for the unusually low insurance rate
that prevails here. The fire loss in
Tulsa has been lower than that of al.
most any city Of this size In the Tn
tied States. The efficiency of the fire
department and the nature OF the
equipment in use here goes farther
than any other one thing toward Civ
ing the city a low rate Of insurance"

Tulsa Is amply maintaining It's past
reputation as a city well guarded
against fire" said Mr.. ingalls,. THE
present inspection has shown that
there are very few fragrant violations

the very low fire loss in Tulsa has
been due to the diligence Of Fire

TAFT MANAGER
FAVORS PRIMARY
BUT DECLARES THAT FORTY
STATES HAVE ARRANGED FOR
PRIMARIES OR CONVENTIONS
SENDS reply TO DIXON
Says Manner of Selecting Delegates
Can Only BE Regulated by the
Party in National Convention

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Repre-
sentative Mckinley, director of Presi-
dent Tafts campaign for renomina-
ton today gave his answer to Senator
| DiXon's challenge that the candl-
dacies Of President Taft and Colonel
/ Roosevelt be submitted to the test
of preferential primaries. Senator
Dixon IS chairman Of the Roosevelt
executive committee.
Director Mckinley says he is in
favor of selecting delegates to the
national convention by the primary
system wherever primaries are legal
ly provided, fairly conducted and
regulated by the restrictions Of the
law" He points ont that all but
seven states have made provisions for
primaries or conventions.
IL have your favor Of the sixth
inst. You have not made your posi-
ton clear and / am still at a loss to
know whence you derive your author
ity. but | am willing TO waive that
point.
81 am in absolute accord with tho
selection Of the delegates to the ma
tional convention by the primary sys-
TEN wherever primaries are, or may
be legally provided, fairly conducted
and regulated by the restrictions OF
tire law.
Cannot Set Prcccdents Aside.
"You well know that all but seven
states of the union have already made
provision forbiding primaries or con.
yentions. In N4w York, for example.
the state fixes the date for the pri-
marles. This is also true in New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Ohio. Illinois. Wiscon-
sin, North Dakota, oregon, California,
and possibly other states. You can
not set aside precedents or the calls
already issued.
The question Of selecting repre-
sentatives of the party belongs pri.
marily to the several states and con-
gressional districts and if the party
is to legislate it should be in It's ma
tiOnal convention. The party's form
of government should be the creation
of law and custom and not OF ca
price. ! do not favor changes in the
rules of the game while the game IL
in progress. TO propose the recall
Of conventions in the midst of cam.
pagn is contrary to the dictates OF
fair play"

Amundsen Report Confirmed.

With reference to the results of the
Anundsen expedition dispatches
reaching London from various points
gave early reports that the Norwegian
explorer had not been successful in
his quest. Later, however, a Copen-
hagen despatch said that the Social
Democrat published news from
Christiania that telegram from a
member of the Fran expedition de-
clared that Amundsen had reached
the South Pole. Other reports seem
TO confirm this.
Reports of Amundsen's success ap.
pear at the same time to have dis
posed of the rumor that Captain
Scott had reached the pole. None OF
the authorities here were inclined to
credit this latter report. unconfirmed.

strictly and distinctly drawn between

republicans of Adair county, will every

A visit to the old home land, the meet
ing of kindred and friends and noting
the many changes made within few
fieeting years yields bountifuily in re-
newed vigor for ones accustomed avO-
cation on return to duty. 1t was the
pleasure of the writer to spend a few
days in the Old Dominion, his native
state, returning last week, and while
there to meet Father, brothers and
many friends. 1t was also pleasure
to find Virginians from Cumberland Gap
to Richmond not only preaching the
doctrine of good roads but actually
building them. There is not a state in
the South, possibly, so active IN road
building and we feel safe in saying none
surpass in the class of roads being con-
structed. In the mountain section Of
that State the grading is very expen-
sive but regardless of expense the work
is being pushed and within few more
months hundreds of miles of fine roads
will be completed In the Central,
Eastern and Southern sections as well
as in the Southwest part Of the State
similar efforts are being made to build
desirable roads and unless the work
soon halts the Old Dominion will be in
the fore front in public roads. Core
spondingly land values are rapidly ad-
vancing, business in all lines acti We,
the farmers happy and hopeful. 1t
looks like the Old State is to reclaim
her prestige for homes and happiness
which was lost in the sixties.

Farmer 5 Conner.
Hogging Corn Crop Instead of
Husking.I

In these days of ex| psive la
Dor farmers sometimea ind it to
their advantage to hog off some
of their corn instead of husking
it. The amount that should be
hogged off sheuld be decided up
on beforehand, and should of
course be proportionate to the
number of hogs which are ex-
pected to- consume it. There
should be access to water, and
the results will be all the better
if the hogs, at the same time,
can have access to a clover, blue
grass or alfalfa field.
Corn should not be hogged of
until it is pretty we'll matured
that's, until the grains are wei
dented. Hogging it off before
that time means a waste Of feed
ing value, for corn grows unit
the leaves are killed by frost OF
die naturally. There are man!
cases in which it is quite as ;
we'll and much cheaper to hog
the corn off than to husk it ant
feed it to the hogs, and the prac
tice is growing more popula
every year. Elk.
