NEED ONE MORE RAIN.
Oklahoma Farmer Says Corn is Doing
Well.

J. T. Gunter of vinlta, Okla, who
reached the quarantine yards early
this morning reported that good rain
fell along the way up, extending back
over 100 miles south from Kansas
City.
There is no way by which the bene-
fit of such a rain can be estimated" !"
Mr. Gunter said. Down at my home
the corn is doing well. and bids fair
to make a good crop, provided We get
another good rain. The rain | came
through last night was the right kind,
Just a gentle drizzle that will do a
world of good.

Think Of N. q. Maxey, Democratic
Candidate For Justice Of Supreme
Court.
Muskogee, Okla, March q, 1911.
To the Honorable John B. Turner,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Oklahoma, and the Honorable
Associate Justices.
We, the undersigned members of the
Muskogee Bar an dofflcials of Musko-
gee County, recognizing the import
ance of the great amount of litigation
which has arisen from that part of
Oklahoma formerly the Creek Nation
an dthe difficulty connected with said
litigation on account of the peculiar
local conditions, consider it extreme
ly important that there should be ap-
pointed upon the Supreme Court Com
mission, provided for by recent act of
the legislature, some lawyer familiar
with conditions in the Creek Nation
and competent to advise and give in
formation relative to the growth and
development of the laws affecting
property in that part of the State.
In looking over the ground for an
available candidate for this position,
we have centered upon N. BMaxey,
Esq, of this Bar, and have determined
to request the Court to appoint him
as one of the Commissioners. We
have known Mr.. 'Maxey for number
Of years, and know him to be lawyer
of ability, thoroughly familiar with not
only the local questions, which would
arise from this section of the State,
but with such matters as would come
before the Supreme Court generally.
We have complete confidence in his
ability, and have induced him to apply
for the appointment
He is already known to the mem
bers of the Court, and it is not neces-
lsary for us to express ourselves fur
ther as to his ability. 1t will be sin
Icerely appreciated by all of us if be
lean be appointed to the position he
lseeks, and we recommend the appoint
lment in full confidence that the results
following will justify the wisdom Of
the selection.

Party regularity often demands a
heavy toll of sacrifice, but we doubt
if more bitter toll was ever exacted
of any party than that now demand
ed of the republicans of Oklahoma.
They must swallow an administration
that they have repudiated. They must
forsake candidate they endorsed and
whom they believe to have been hon.
estly nominated They must swear
allegiance to a man whose nomination
was unquestionably stolen, and are
forced to defend the theft and declare
| it honorable.

Chas. A. Taylor was an honest man,
and in his death Oklahoma lost one of
the most honest officials she has ever
elevated to Office He was an official
during trying times, and to his credit
be it said that ''he stood four squares
to every wind that blew" The state
never lost a penny by honoring Charles
Taylor, and his party never had to ex-
plain a single official deed of his. He
measured high in office, and his num-
erous successors in the coming years
will do full well if they come any
where near the high mark of efficiency
that he made. Oklahoma has suffered
a pronounced loss

Governor Cruce created something
of a sensation Saturday evening by
asking for the immediate resignation
of four members of the state board of
education-Sco Glenn of Shawnee,
Frank Hayes of Chandler, w. A. Bran
denburg of Oklahoma City, and State
Treasurer Robert Dunlop. The trou-
BILE arose over a difference of opinion
concerning the letting of contracts to
book companies for the next five years.
The governor opposed the letting of
the contracts at this time, while the
majority Of the board were in favor
of instant action. 1t is reported that
the members who were dismissed will
refuse to relinquish the position and
that the matter will be tested in the
courts.

Judge Stanfield of Sapulpa ordered
the election inspector of Okmulgee to
register negro voters without regard
to the grandfather law. This was in
effect a command for him to violate
the state law. The inspector appealed
to the supreme court which body forth
with issued a writ of prohibition for
bidding Judge Stanfield to interfere
with the work of the inspector. Judge
Stanfield is one of the three republican
district judges in the state. If the re-
publican partisans want to destroy the
last vestige of their party in Oklahoma
let them pursue their pusillanimous
policy of trying to ravish the constitu-
tion of the state and force the fran
chise privilege upon illiterate negroes.

One of the leading socialists of Ok
lahoma in an address before the social
ist local at Oklahoma City last Sun
day night declared that it would be a
calamity to the socialist party if it
succeeded in electing any of its nom

reason he assigned was that their
nominees are too ignorant to be en-
trusted with such important business.

HIGH LIVING
AND POOR
NOURISHMENT

When your food doesnot nourish you,
the blood is thin or impure. Unless the
blood is pure, assimilation, the final
step of digestion, is imperfectly done
and the body poorly nourished. Every
day instances of lack of nourishment be-
cause of thin or impure blood are seen
in children, who eat almost continually
yet do not grow; in conyalescents from
the grip, fever, or some other serious
disease, who remain pale, weak and
debilitated; in persons who are run
down through overwork or worry and
are unable to get back their strength.
Before the body can be properly nour-
ished, the blood must first be cleansed,
built up and made fit to work. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
will do this more quickly and effectively
than any other medicine. They contain
the very elements which the thin blood
lacks. Not only do they strengthen the
stomach but they build up the blood SO
that it gets full nourishment from the
food.
