pIetely Fitted For Thrilling And
Dangerous Races.

Tulsc, Okla, Aug. 15.-The track at

est racing creations ever designed in

Sapulpa, Okla, April ia move
ment aimed at the defeat of r. 7.
Daniel of Tulsa. republican candidate
for congress from the third district
has been set on foot here by Attorney
M. L. Matson, an ardent Roosevelt
supporter. Mr.. Matson is circulating
petitions, addressed to the state elec-
tion board demanding that Daniels
name not be placed on the republican
ballots next fall for the reason that
in the primary campaign Mr.. Daniel
expended more than the $500 allowed
by the law.
"As far as | know declared Mr..
Matson yesterday, my petition is the
only one in the state although | un-
derstand others will soon be in cir
culation. From charges Mr.. Denton
Of Muskogee made in the campaign
and from affidavits in my possession,
/ believe Mr.. Daniel far exceeded the
amount of campaign expenditures al
lowed by law. | understand that the
democrats will make no effort to beat
Mr., Daniel but will unseat him the
minute he gets to congress on the
grounds that he spent too much
money. They did the same thing just
few days ago with congressman
from Missouri Mr.. Daniel must either
show clean record or withdraw from
the race

Reflection on the Promoters.

Charles P. Abbey, Chicago attor-
ney, was called upon at recent ban
quet given to lawyers and judges. Ho
said: Il was recently trying case
to foreclose a mortgage given by pro
moters of a new insurance company
which had failed I had as one of my
witnesses a man named Kelley who
had made a friend of a yellow dog
while taAing morning walk. The
dog followed him to court, and when
the case was adjourned at noon the
dog was waiting for Kelley. The at
torney of the insurance people asked
him If he was trying to steal the dog.
Kelley thought moment and then
answered bIandly: Yes. I'm going to
steal the dog, and donate him to your
clients. They are capable Of trying to
start an insurance company on ysl-
lo# dog"

DEATH RUMORs
ALL RESTRICTIONS

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. l5.-Creek
homesteads as well as all surplus
lands become alienable Immediately
on the death of the allottee, and it
makes no difference whether death
took place before or after the five
years restrictions.
On the death of Seminole allot-
tee all his lands including homestead
becomes alienable and the heirs can
make proper conveyance of this
land.
Restrictions on alienated Choctaw
and Chickasaw lands were not re-
moved by the act of congress passed
April 21, 1904.
Patents in the Choctaw and Chick
asaw countries date from the time
that they were signed by the last of
the chiefs of the two tribes, the time
that the deeds were signed by the
secretary of the interior is of no con-
sequence, and the signatures OF the
chiefs makes the patents good.
The one, three and five year clause
runs with the land and not with the
individual in the Ch0ctaw and Chick
asaw nations.
Deciding directly contrary to the
supreme court OF Oklahoma in the
StoRebraker case, Judge r. E. Camp
bell in the circuit court OF the Un ted
States today held that the death OF
an allottee conferred on his heirs the
right to sell the land inherited includ-
ing the homestead and that the gov
ernment restriction Of five years had
no effect when the allotee died. This
decision applied to lands in the Creek
and Seminole nations and is of vast
Importance to property owners in
Muskogee county. In the 10000 suits
brought by the government number
were based on the assumption that
the heirs of an allottee could not sell
the land until five years after th@re'
ssstrictions were removed and this view
was taken by the Oklahoma supreme
court Judge Campbell takes the op.
posite view.
Judge Campbell in all handed down
i've opinions and they cover Practi
cally every question that was not de
eided by the supreme court Of the
United States. In three decisions the
government loses out, and ON two
points the contention of the attorneys
for the government is sustained.
As general proposition however
the land owners of Oklahoma win a
big victory, particularly so on the de
cision of the court that patents date
from the time that they were signed
by the chiefs and not from the timt
that they were executed by the de
partment of the interior Also on the
Creek and Seminole cases where the
heirs of an allottee are given the righ
to sell restricted land
The decisions involve great many
thousand acres of land, and they NEAR
victory for the defendants in thou
sands of the 10000 suits brought by
the government.
Attorneys for the government sa!
that the cases will be appeeied to tb,
supreme court of the United States.

Chinese are by nature and training

assembly in their long graceful gowns
could not fail to remind one of the
senators of old Rome. The business
of the assembly was conducted accord

There were at times very heated de
bates, but they were always orderly.
Some of the members distinguished
thmselves by a fine display OF oratory

of the fact that the forensic art has
hitherto been unknown in China
There has never been any opportun'
lity or demand for either religious or
secular history In China the written
word has always been more important

The assembly also astonished every

attacked the highest officials of the

shorten the pe1od OF constitutional
preparation from six years to two
years and a half Even without the
present rebellion China would have
had constitution in little over a
year and a half from now.
The president of the first national
assembly was Prince Pu Lun. He had
on several occasions been seriously
considered as the heir apparent and
had missed becoming emperor merely
through a within of the late empress
dowager. He presided over the as
sembly with great tact and fairness.
1t was quite evident that he believed
thoroughly in constitutional govern
ment and was doing all in his power
to make it a success.
A short time after the closing of the
national assembly Prince Pu Lun was
present at reception in the German
legation. The prince was surrounded
by a number of admirers, both Chi
nese and foreigners, who were con-
graduating him on his success as PRES
ident of the assembly. A very corpu-
lent Chinese official, an intimate
friend of the prince, came up to offer
his congratulations. The prince, who
is a very thin man, could not resist
the temptation to crack a joke at the
expense of this fat Falstaff. who came
waddling up to him.
Pointing with one hand to the fat
official and with the other to his own
thin self he said There you see an
officialOof the government am a man
of the people" The official did not
seem to be at all fustered by the
laughter that followed, nor did he com
nit himself as to whether he was n
democrat or not. He simply answered,
your royal highness, | only obey the
orders of my superiors."
Revolution Against Dynasty.
The present revolution Is not justi-
fable if it has for it's object to Sc
cure a constitution for China That
object has already been secured by
more peaceful means. 1t is in fact a
revolution against dynasty and not
against a despotic government. It
was extremely unfortunate for the rev
olutionsts that the government long
ago stole their thunder and set itself
up as the champion of constitutional
government That clever move de
prived them of their platform All
they can do now is to say that the
government has not been sincere, In
its advocacy of a constitution. Any
who has followed the constitutional
development of China and has seen
the wonderful things the government
has accomplished cannot subscribe to
such an opinion.

colt to the Legislative committee of

sanction such a move.
Miss Ida Stokes Adams, chairman
of the Civic Clubs Ward Affairs Com

accomplish much toward bringing
about a reduction Of prices if they
will take up the matter, She said
that the only action probable, how
ever, would be that taken by the Leg

Among the methods suggested for
combating the increased cost Of butter
is the use of oleomargarine and mo-
lasses Oleomargarine has as much
nutritive value as butter, pure food
experts say, and has the added ad-
vantage OF being Tree from bacteria,
since II is sterilized during the pro

of oleomargarine is under the super
vision of Government inspectors. It
sells at present at twentyeight cents
a pound. Many housewives have al
ready adopted this substitute for but
ter as a result of the advance in price
and oleo dealers say their sales have
increased fifty per cent, in the past
five weeks,
There are many families in the city
however that cannot afford even the
comparatively low priced oleomarga
