1t can be seen from these figures
that Maiden Spring districts portion
of the bond issue is about all gone,
and that some arrangement will have
to be made Immediately for meeting
the pay-rolls of that district. 1t is
asid that that district can borrow
enough from the county levy until
more bonds can be sold.
The other two districts in the county
are In better shape. The table shows
that each have large amount of
money still on hand to push the road
work for several months to come.
The heavy expenditure on county
money in Maiden Spring district is
still a matter of deep concern to the
people of that section, and SO far as
we know no explanation of the large
expenditure has been given. 1t is
stated that on the Wardell road the
grading was more difficult than any
road in the county, which probably
accounts for part of the heavy ex-
pense. The statement of the condition
of things in Clear Fork district will
be published as soon as they are re-
cieved in this office. 1t is said that
the work in that district is being done
cheaply.

PLAIN PEOPLES
WILSON FUND
sertributions to Cause Of Woodrow
Wilson Will Be Received And
Forwarded to Headquarters.

Oklahoma City, July z..-Mr. Plain
Citizen, how would you like to join a
movement to place American politics
upon new level by taking away from
your neighbor. Mr.. Privileged Citizen,
the unfair advantage which he now en-
joys by reason of his being Mr. Priv
ileged Citizen?
Wouldn't you like to have your chill
dren and your grandchildren know
that you did your part in bringing
about an equal distribution of the
privileges of citizenship such as are
guaranteed you by the constitution of
the United States but which are not
granted you because Special Privilege
has appropriated these rights to itself?
This year things are going to be
different The people-the ones
whose rights the constitution gives a
guarantee to protect-are going to fl
nance the campaign of candidate for
president of the United States. 1t is
a unique state of affairs. The people
heretofore, have had no voice in this
thing of seeing how it is done" They
have only done it. This year they are
going to see how it is done, see that
it is done and the people furthermore,
are going to do it.
Four years ago, seven thousand dol
lars was raised by the Daily Oklaho-
man for the purpose of helping to f.
nance the fight that William Jennings
Bryan was making against the privi-
legged interests.
The Oklahoman hopes to raise as
much again this year and more if pos
sible. Contributions in large and
small amounts will be received and
forwarded to the Woodrow Wilson
headquarters to be used in carrying
on this fight of the people against the
privileged interests.
There are more to contribute now
than there were four years ago. There
are more on the side of the people
than there were then and the sum total
of the contributions should be much
greater. Contributions will be receiv-
ed by The Oklahoman to help defray
the expenses of the case of THE Peo-
pie against the Privileged Interests, .
and lists of the doners will be publish.

OUR SENATOR.
Introductory of Rev. o. E. Goddard on
the OCCASION of Senator Ovens
Address to His Home
People.

Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
of Muskogee;
We evidently have some customs
which outliye their usefulness.
That Of introducing celebreties to
audiences which know the celebrity
better than they know the introducer
is custom that should have become
absolete but which up to this time
shows no signs of obsolence. To me
it seems utterly superfuous that I, so
little known to you, hould introduce to
a Muskogee audience one who for
twenty-seven years has been one of
our most useful and admired citizens
at home and one of our most distin-
guished and honored citizens abroad.
There is not city, town, village, ham
let, nor remote rural community in
this young state where the name OF
Robert L. Owen is not known and
honored. Indeed since the 25th of
February, 1908, when in his maiden
speech in the senate, he astonished
that august and learned body with ex-
pert knowledge of great problem,
and showed an ability never before
shown by an amateur on the senate
floor. Since that date, | repeat. he
has been no stranger to any states
man or student of public affairs within
the bounds of the. United States.
This well merited fame which Mr..
Owen won by this speech was no sur
prise to us who knew his ability Prior
to this, had not the chief justice told
the attorney general and the president
of the United States that the speech
by Mr.. Owen on he Cherokee Case"
was. the best and from every stand
point the best speech that had yet
been delivered before that court?
We thought we saw in him power
for great service for his constituency
and leadership aud immortality for
himself But now 1t is no theory. We
have had demonstration. The fond
est hopes of his friends have been
realized, and his enemies silenced by
the unparalled record he has made in

Gentlemen. / am enclosing you
herewith copy of Senate Bill 494S, as
l secured its amendment in confer.
ence last week, which relates to con-
veyances of inherited estates of full
blood Indians OF the Five Civilized
Tribes. This bill does not read as it
should, but owing to the peculiar con-
dition in which the bill was originally
passed in the senate and amended in
the house this is the best could get
out of it when it got to conference
last week.
The conferees' report was adopted
last Friday the 10th by the Senate
and Monday the 22nd by the House,
and the same is now ready for the sig
nature of the president.
If you desire to publish this bill
am sure 1t will be read with a great.

The legislation which he has intro
duced and helped in passing is vast
contribution toward solving one of the
most intricate and delicate problems
with which we are dealing.
But he did not specialize on the In
dian problem. He served all his con-
stituency. He has shown an expert
knowledge OF the tariff Of finances and
other great problems that would inn
mortalize any man. After himself be-
ing student of the economic prob

able services he has rendered in try
ing to have established a department

The wonder to me is now he did so
much in his first term. | challenge
any one to show me where any other
senator from any state ever did more
in his first term.
This record won for him the right
to the second term. care not what
might be the qualifications of his op.
ponent, even II he had those of an
archangel, it would be out of taste for
him to TRIP to usurp Mr.. Owens seat
this time. Mr.. Owen does not want
this nomination on the demerits OF
his opponent. He, | take it, is not go
ing to indulge in any vituperation,
and political mud-slinging, nor heap
any vile epithets upon his opponent
We have had enough OF that and to
spare in Oklahoma. or course the
same people the sane people OF Okla
homa are going to send him back. To
fail to do SO would be the most monu-
mental blunder the young state has
yet made. If he does not go back To
the senate tell me no more that eff
cheney will be appreciated, or that
fidelity shall have its reward
1t is no small distinction to Okla

particular to have citizen with such
a national reputation. Any state in

valuable asset and any metropolitan
