GRANDFATHER LAW
HEARING OCT. u
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
TO HEAR klNGFlSHER ELEC.
TION CASE.

The United States supreme court
has docketed the J. j. Beal and Frank
Quinn case for hearing October Il,
according to advice received by the
federal district attorney, Homer n.
Boardman, of the western district Of
Oklahoma The case involves the
validity of the so-called "grandfath-
er law of Oklahoma.
Beal and Quinn were convicted in
federal court at Enid, December l5,
1912, on the charge of having refused
certain persons the right to vote III
the election of 1910. The men were
sentenced to serve one year in the
federal penitentiary at LeaJyenworth,
Kan, and to pay fine of 800 each.
Beal and Quinn were election officials
in Union township, Kingilsher county,
Oklahoma. Following their convic-
ton, the men appealed to the federal
court in st. Louis, Mo, which in turn
certified the case to the United States
supreme court on two questions as fol.
lows:
Was the amendment to the consti-
tuition of Oklahoma set forth valid?"
WAS the amendment void insofar
as il attempted to debar from the
right or privilege of voting for a quail

BUYS LAND NEAR
OIL FIELDS
TWO MISSOURI FARMERS MAKE
PURCHASE NEAR HEALDTON
YESTERDAY OF $50 ACRES.

J. W. Dixon and C. &. Mahoney
OF Rich HILL Missouri, were in the
city yesterday and while here pur-
chased $50 acres of land near the,
Healdton oil field of DR.. Smith of
Iealdton.
The gentlemen are very enthusi-
astic over the oil prospects in the
flealdton field and hope they will
eventually find oil on their holdings
but if they do not, are satisfied with
their bargain as the land is worth
every dollar they paid for it for ag-
ricultural purposes.
The tract purchased by them is
TWO miles north of the new well
and they say they have refused a
good profit on it. Both these gentle
men are practical farmers and may
come here another year and work
their own farm instead of renting.

New Stove That Burns Gas and Slack
Coal is on Market.
The Hoffmann-P Page company is
advertising a combination coal and
gas stove today that ought to sell

for it are true, and they have a stovd
set in their office and are making
demonstrations for those who are in

pressure is sufficient and if the gas
is not plentiful coal may be added.
1t does away with the old trouble OF
lindling fire with coal because the
gas flame takes the place of kind
ling, it burns the clinkers and Gre
ates no coal smoke. 1t burns slack
coal, which is cheaper than the lump
coal. These are the claims made
for the new stove.

| IT clearly has been demonstrated a
the result Of tests conducted by repre-.
sentatives Of The Herald that some OF

and this presents the most forceful argu.
rnent against the general Endorsement OF
the sanitary process. especially among
the poor Of the city with whom every

Sise to De Regulated.
As long as the bakers continue to re-

| to place on the market bread Of an In
| ferior quality, there IL no hope that the
| sanitary product will meet with univer-
sal Endorsement. The problem of the
size Of the loaf will eventually be settled
by the enactment Of proposed legislation

question Of quality can alone be solved
by the enactment Of legislation fixing q
standard Of quality of bread.
Among the most interesting communi-
cations received by The Herald yester-
day concerning the wrapped bread cru

Herald seems to be entirely right in its
statement published recently to the
effect that the bakers are thought by
many to be trying to make wrapped

Inferior Quality Sold.
IT was surprised the other day to be
given a loaf Of wrapped bread without
asking for II. I noticed that the guests
We Lad at our house only ..ibbled at
their bread. and when I tasted 1t my
self I realized that It was Door bread,
dark and tasteless. Exactly the same
thing happened a day or two later Then
I began to take notice. At another
grocery ! asked for the wrapped article.
and the woman replied that she kept II.
but that it was Of such poor quality
tina. most Of her customers had gone
back to the unwrapped kinds.
II examined a loaf OF wrapped and
one Of unwrapped Mothers Bread and
found the latter to be plainly Of the
better quality. I do not think that IL
was any accident in the making The
wrapped bread was of the kind We were
getting when the 3-for-1e-cents kind
was being exploited. and which was said

Interest in Tax Question.

The proposal of Alderman John 5.
Gambler that the tax assessments on
Atlanta real estate should be lowered
and the rate raised, to provide for an
equalization that has long been need
ed, is in direct line with the conten-
ton of local real estate men. Some
time ago, when Alderman John r.
McClelland suggested that assess
ments be raised. the real estate men
passed q resolution protesting against
the move They contended that the
rate and, not the assessment, should
be raised, and that this would incl
dentally establish better proportion
between what Fulton County paid the
State and the total amount paid by all
the counties 1t has been estimated
that Fulton pays, from all sources
except corporation and special taxes,
one seventh of the States tax reve-
nue., which is held to be entirely too
much. The real estate men consider
the tax question a serious one, and
they are greatly interested in Alder
man Gamblers plan.
