COLORED RACE AND LOYALTY

l. a .
A retrospective view OF local Coz
ditions in this country and the priv
lleges that aliens have enjoyed nder
them, is proof Of our American ten
dency 10 ape" everything foreign.
and to this inherent weakness, which
makes for the corruption and disinte
grafton Of nation, the trouble in
California and other psrts OF the
country is largely due. The craze
for Japanese domeetics in the Ameri-
Can home gave them ,hepopporLunity
TO study A. frst band both the ecien-
titic and domestic side of American
life. and when they have acquired
sufficient knowledge to rival as in
industrial activity we seek TO draw
the line agaiust them 10 the same
manner as We do against the colored
people.
But, the wide difference between
these two peoples. both in condition
aud opportunity. offers contrast rath-
or than a comparison. The Japa-
nese have Government ready at a
nome Mt TO assert and maintain their
rights and Dag whose ample folds
protect them, while the colored peo-
pie have neither. Twelve millions Of
colored people, with all the respoDsi-
bilisies Of citizenship, but without its
privileges, are dependent upon our
charity and indulgence, while the
japanese are independent of both.
We have abundant proof Of the
treachery OF others, but tho loyalty
OF the colored race is proverbisl,
That these facts should be kept be-
fore the American people is worth

the doctrine OF "Anglo-Ssxon gu
premaoy," we had better stick to The
colored man, because the blood Of

FUTURE PROSPECTS
OF RINGING, OKLA.
MUCH DISCUSSION OF PRO-
POSED NEW TOWN TO BE ES
TABLIsHED WEST OF CITY.

The new town of Ringing is the
topic of discussion in the city this
morning. Yesterdays dispatch from
Washington, stating that a charter
had been applied for, for the First
National bank of Ringing, Oklahoma,
with several we'll known bankers and
business mems names mentioned,
served to start speculation. From
what is learned of the proposed new
town it is ideally located in the
midst of a fine agricultural country
about thirty five miles to the west
from Ardmore, and is the present
terminus toward which the new Ring
ling railway is working. The coun-
try surrounding this proposed site is
not only valuable from an agricultu-
raj s\lndpoint but is in close proX-
imitv TO what experienced oil men
claim to be the biggest oil field in
the state. Asphalt is also abundant
in this vicinity and only awaits trans
portation facilities to stimulate de-
velopment. All who profess to be on
the inside are very optimistic about
the future of the new town and evil
IDENTIFY there will be something doing
when the lots are offered for sale.

NEW LAW ATTACKED.
Legality of Certain Powers Conferred
on Commission is Attacked.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2S.-The re-
cent legislative act authorizing the
CORPORATION commission to collect
Cvercharges from corporations and
disburse them to claimants is at
tackled as being unconstitutional in
a brief filed today by the Pioneer
Telephone and Telegraph company
against the commissions order re-
quiring the company to refund $63,
600 in excess telephone charges col
lected from Oklahoma City patrons.
If the company's contention is up
held, the brief says, it follows that
the commission had no authority to
sit as a court and fix the amount
of the refund 1t also claims the
right to offer evidence to show that
the old rates were confiscatory.
The company was fined 500 for
violating the commissions order,
which prohibits the changing of tel
ephone rates without the states con-
sent. The company appealed to the
supreme court and the commission
was sustained. 1t followed with an
other order, acting under the new law,
requiring the $4,000 refund to be
made, and from that the company
again appealed to the supreme court.
The commission declines to permit
testimony touching the old rate, but
will permit a showing as to the earn
ing power of rates as Of this date.

few law said Mayor Roberts this
morning when referring to an article
that appeared in yesterdays paper.
The curfew law has been neglected
somewhat in the past but from the
number of juvenile cases that are re-
ported it would seem that something
else had better have been neglected
and the kids kept off the streets.
The mayor stated that from now
en- he was going to see what could
be done in enforcing the curfew law
and if his plans are carried out there
will be a scarcity of kids on the street
after nine o'clock.

NOTHING DOING
ON SUNDAY
SO SAYS DEPUTY GAME WARDEN
CRUCE AND SAYS THAT Law
WILL NOT PROTECT ONE.

Thcre seems to be a prevailing i'm
preston that one may hunt on Sun
day anything with the exception Of
quail and still not violate the law"
said District Game Warden Cruca
this morning, but they are badly
mistaken and if complaint is lodged
against them they are liable to a
fine for violation of the Sabbath.
The Harris Day code says that it
is legal to hunt on Sunday certain
specified game birds, but that is
no. a fact as it is in direct conflict
with the game laws of the state and
viii conflict with the const tuition
Evidently there are many who dis
agree with the district warden and
the question is one that is very liable
to be tested out in the courts, pend
.ng that time however It is the opin-
ION of the district warden that Sun
day hunting is tabooed.
