Best Flour. not because of the
quality butbecause they do not
wish to take on an additional
brand of flour. Some of them,
it is stated, have resented what
they believed was malicious
move to force another flour on
them. Others have blamed the
n. Is. Fairbank company. Both
contentious are wrong. In the
first place the \. *. Fairbank
company have absolutely nothing
to do with the rules governing
The Worlds cooking school. In
the second place The World
recognized that there were a half
dozen good flours offered to the
Tulsa flour buying public. Believ-
ing that it would be easier to in
terest one of the established
brands in the school we called
on five of the brokers, Most OF

expense The World has been put
to to give the ladies of Tulsa this
instructive series of lectures by
Miss Gift. None of these efforts
were successful, except in the

sale by one dealer and placing 1t
on the market so that all grocers
would have a fair opportunity
to supply their customers. As
this flour has been found fully
successful by Miss Gift and as its
makers are doing their part to
give the ladies of Tulsa this great
treat, it Is but right that they
should be given the opportunity

Smith Breaks Loose.

Morris of Stephens county, discuss
ing the report. expressed the belief
that 1t was too drastic. which caused
a vitriolic reply from Smith of Potta-
watomie, filled with denunciations OF
the rottenness which he declared to
exist in the state administration.
Upon statements from members OF
the general investigating committee
that the adoption of the Wright mo-
tion might embarrass the effectiveness
of the work of the committee in
further probing the departments in
question, representative Wright with
drew his motion. The sense of the
probe committee is that 1t desires to
complete its probe of the departments
criticised in the Granite reformatory
report, some of which it has not yet
touched. and to accumulate all the
evidence possible before submitting it
to the house committee on impeach-
ment and removal from Office as re-
latinE to these officers.

Matter of Impeachment.

I'VE have already removed three
state officers as the result of impeach-
ment proceedings, said Representa-
tive Wright and there Is no reason
why the same course should not be
followed as to other officers when we
have the facts to sustain it. If the
charges made in this report are true,
they show a wilful neglect of duty on
the part Of state officials, and 1t is
properly matter for the impeach-
ment committee"
Representative Plnkham of Kay
county. who has hitherto been one OF
the strong defenders of the attorney
generals office, declared the house
should go after all officers who were
derelict in their duty and not make
an exception because it happened to
be the governor or the attorney gen.
eral. He expressed the opinion that
according to the showing made in the
report the board was incompetent to
handle the situation shown to exist
