Eclectic Physicians Take Action.

The following resolution was passed
vthe Oklahoma State Electic AS
sociation at their annual convention

The feeling expressed b ythese reso-
lutions has spread over the entire Uni

bers of all schools of practice. 1t has

ming of its organization. At the pres
ent time it has membership OF over

WHEREAS, It has been set forth by
the leaders of the American Medical

movement for health legislation, now
pending in Congress known as Senate
Bill No. /, rthe Owen Health Bill;
and that only by such legislation could
they hope to control the practice Of
medicine nthe United States; and.
WHEREAS, such legislation is I'M
American, unconstitutional and un-
necessary and would be an added ex
pense to the citizens of the United
States, designed an dintended by the
willy medical political promoters of it
fo rthe sole purpose of securing an
unfair advantage by the Allopathic
School of Medicine over the other
schools of medical practice; and,
WHEREAS, we believe that no bill.

resentation to all schools or systems
Of healing.

SLEPT ON TABLE
IN THE OLD DAYS
Man Destined to be Senator in New
State Spent First Night in
Station.

Muskogee, May Ex-senator Rob
ert.L. owen spent his first night in
Muskogee twenty-one years ago sleep
Ing upon the counting table i ma little
railway station. An Indian slept under
the table an da little negro boy sought
comfortable bed under a bench on
the floor. The one hote lof Muskogee
was too crowded o accommodate
Senator Owen SO the man who was
destined to be one fthe foremost
citizens the new state took a humble
berth-and was glad to get it.
Such "reminiscences of early expert
ences were told by Senator Owen to Il
large crowd of men and women nthe
Hinton theatre last evening. The sena-
tor related incidents connected with
his work as Indian agent when his was
the only court in the territory without
power of issuing process and with
the task o Establishing the first I'm
tied States court in Muskogee.. He told
of taking u pthe Indian cases and OBJ
tanning for the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws $3,OOO,OOO and TO rthe Cherokees
about $5,000,000. Then he discussed his
work as Senator of Oklahoma. He was
introduced by Rev. o. &. Goddard as
the best man in the United States to
represent this state in the Senate and
as the present and next senator.
Senator owen deplored the fact that
the power of the people had fallen in
to the hands of the machine politicians
or the expert few," as he termed it..
He sal dtha tthe people of Oklahoma
paid some 100000 into the state as
taxes and took their receipt therefor
but tha tthey paid over $20,OO0,0OO in
to the treasury OF the government as
taxes and took no receipt. This heavy
tax is unnoticed although there is talk
of the high cost of living, because that
big tax is paid over the counters of
the merchants" This is what we call
the indirect tax and as long as the gov
ernment of the country is nthe hands
of the machine which is organized for
the benefit of the interests then we
will pay this large and heavy tax" he
said.
When you elect me senator to rep
resent you, you gave me power OF at
torney not only to represent you locally
but in every way possible. You wanted
public building her eand we got it.
"You wanted to own the land on
whic hthe police station is situated
and we got it. Other things you wanted
and we got them but do not consider
these loca things of any Importance
to the solution fthe great problem.
We knew the people were not ruling
and when | went to Washington, it
was my duty to find out the difficulty
and the solution of the problem. That
duty | have discharged

okIahoma's Militant Democracy.
tBy Senator Rebt, l.. Owen of
0klahoma.)

New York, Aug. 23.-Oklahoma will
give a very heavy vote for the demo-
cratic ticket, and will give its elec-
toral vote to Wilson end Marshall by
forty thousand votes at least.
The democratic party in Oklahoma
is in better condition than it has been
since statehood.
A great many progressive repuhli-
cans will support the ticket because of
the very progressive democratic ma
tional platform and because they be-
lieve that Wilson viii faithfully carry
out the democratic policies.
The most important factor is the
declaration that the democratic party
will give greater power to the people
in controlling the government.
The initiative, the referendum. the
corrupt practices act, the direct elee-
tion Of senator and the presidential
primary are very popular in Oklahoma,
and win cut most important figure in
the coming campaign
