Tulsa MAY secure
STATE Conventions
OKLAHOMA CITYS POOR HOSPI-
TALlrY MAY CAUSE A
CHANGE.

That Tulsa has an excellent oppor-
tunity to secure future state demo-
cratic conventions. is the opinion Of
local party leaders who were at the
recent convention at oklahoma City.
Very poor arrangements were made
for the handling OF that meeting. and
most Of the delegates were highly in
censed at the way they were taken
care Of
Conn Linn, of Tulsa, drew forth
much applause when he introduced a
resolution, requesting the state COM
mittee to designate Tulsa as the CON
vention city in the future. The res
olutlon was adopted by the conven-
ton. 1t Is given herewith:
WHEREAS. loyal and faithful
democrats have gathered from the
four quarters Of the state, and are
now in convention assembled at Ok
lahoma City, with much bottled up
enthusiasm ready to explode upon the
slightest provocation, with the ther-

Meyer Ia After OIL Producers.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept 2.-(spe-
cial, THE state has lost thousands
OF dollars every year because oil pro-
ducers have not reported accurately
the amount OF oil sold TO wholesalers,
is the charge made by State Auditor
Leo Meyer, who returned Thursday
from independence, Kansas, Tulsa
and MuskOgee, where he made investi-
cations which show, he SAYS that the
state has been losing about $4,000
per year In gross production and rev.
enue taxes.
Although the amount OF taxes coll
lected on gross production has been
doubled in the last two years or since
Meyer has been In office, he charges
that oil companies do not report their
entire sales and that he Is planning to
make a thorough investigation into
the output Of the various oil com
panies and compare the output. as
shown by their records, with the
books Of the wholesalers In an effort
to correct this evil.
While in Independence, Meyer con-
suited with a solicitor for the Prairie
oil and Gas company, who gave him
the assurance that his company would
be glad 10 furnish him with all the In
formation obtainable relative TO the
output and sale. In order TO obtain all
the information necessary TO insure
the collection OF the full amount OF
tax due the state, the state auditor
may go TO New York to consult with
officials OF the Standard OIL company
there.

Mr. l.. Il. Robinson. of the Robin
son, Packer a. Machine company, of
Coffeyville, Kan, was recently asked
this question: ITO what do you attrip-
ute your success In the business OF
manufacturing packers"" His answer
was as follows: II have made packer
business a thorough study and decid-
ed that to make a success, ! must
offer to the trade something better
than the ordinary, as the various
fields were demanding strength,
quality and improvements" He fin
ished his answer in the Yankee man
ner-"Ask the trade who made the
first screw anchor packer. Ask them
who made II possible to place as many
as three and four packers on one
string; set every packer successfully;
and convince the operators on the
derrick floor that every packer set
and show them just how much each
packer set, thus explaining the CON
dition Of the wall where each packer
WAS located. Ask the trade II length
and weight In packers count for any
thing. They Will tell you 1t spells
strength. Ask the trade who was tho
first to make special packers to suit
the requirements of the field. Al
though they are not all acquainted
with the Improvement, ask the trade
what they think of the new improved
Disc Anchor and Disc Bottom Hole
packer, and who was first to put
disc in the said style of packers ASK
the trade who was first to make a
packer that could be successfully
forced through 250 feet OF castings
repeatedly cleaning out through the
packer, and successfully set same
when It was landed on bottom. ASK
the trade, who 1t is. that is making
packers, to please even the casing
gang, with an elevator connection on
the top and male thread on bottom
making 1t possible to handle the
packers with the same convenience
as they handle Joint Of pipe.
Ask the trade who It is that makes
a Disc Wall and Trip Wall packer
with an unequaled slip surface. ASK
the trade who It is that makes pack
ers that form a Joint between tele-
scoping parts, thus providing an ad-
vantage long sought for by the op-
orators.
Ask the trade who it is that made
the first tool to find a good location
for a packer in the well.
Well I don't know why they buy
those homely red packers and we
get the business. They are heavy
they are long, they are strong. But
tell your friends If they have hard
lob to call on the "runt.' He VIII

THE EVOLUTION OF JAPAN.

The great Emperor of Japan has
lived but sixty years, has ruled but
fortyfive. Yet in that brief period
there have unrolled before his eyes
all the stupendous developments of
the Meiji, Japan's golden age He
has taken the leading role in changes
as manyRand as great as it has cost
Europe 700 years to accomplish;
changes such as no other great nation
and no other ruler ever witnessed in
one lifetime.
When as boy prince Mutsuhito
was hidden away in his fathers pal
ace Japanese soldiers still fought
with bows and arrows and with
lances from behind cumbrous padded
armor, or swung their swords in open
gaHeys like the Vikings. 1t was death
for "A subject not of the palace group
to look upon the Mikado's face 1t
was death to leave the country; Ito
and Inouye braved that fate when in
1868 they ran away to England to
study war and shipping and modern
ways. The temporal power of the
Emperors had been usurped by the
Shogunate, at whose court officials
scuffed about in silken trousers, cut
eighteen inches too long for their
legs, SO that they might seem to be
always kneeling. Gilbert and Sulli-
vans "Mikado," staged in 1885,
parodied what was even then the
worlds notion of Japan
Mutsuhito was a babe in arms
when Perry broke in upon Japans
solution and by object-lesson taught
it's chiefs the value of cannon. The
patriotic rebellion of 1867 against
the Shotgun restored the power Of
the throne. A caste system as rigid
and as cruel as midas was swept
away in 1871, and careers were
opened to talents for the first time
in all the East. A modern constitu-
ton followed in 1890.
Gunpowder came late to Japan but
has been used to some purpose. The
patrician Satsuma rebellion was
crushed in 1877. China was
thrashed, though most Chinese knew
nothing about it. The great Russian
power which Napoleon fancied would
overrun all Europe recoiled before
the pigmy parvenu among the ma
tions when the knights of the teacup
pictures put on khaki. Side by side
with these amazing military feats
went developments as wonderful in
education, manufacture. medicine,
law.
