Sisson is For War.

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-"A
war speech was delivered in the
house of representative today by
Sisson of Mississippi. IF we must
have war, I'm for war, I'm with
the people of California in their eff
forts to prevent aliens acquiring
land he said
Representative Mann, the republl
can leader, suggested that the United
States has the constitutional rights
and power to secure American prop
crty rights abroad, and Sisson con-
tended that the government has not
similar rights.
"If Japan now threatens us with
war, what would she do when her
citizens acquired land in our coun-
try" said Silson. II lay down the
proposition that alien population
holding land within our borders would
be a fixed and constant menace.
Treaty making can never deprive
states of their reserved powers" Half
lie membership of the house sat in
amazement. They paid close atten-
tion to Sisson's argument and his
speech was frequently interrupted oy
applause.

ANOTHER SENATOR
QUITS THE BUNCH
ECHOlS OF ELK CITY TENDEReO D
RESIGNATION SATURDAY-Bus'-
NESS MATTERS.

Hon. X. +. Echols of Elk City sat
urday rendered his resignation to
Governor Cruce and President Ken
drick as a member of the upper branch
of the legislature, the same to become
effective Immediately His letter OF
resignation will be received by Gov
ernor Cruce and President Kendr'ck
Monday when official action viii be
taken on it.
Important business, which will re
Quire his entire time, is the reason
of Senator Echols' resignation. He
is employed as legal adviser for two
railroad companies, now involved in
some litigation, which made it I'M
possible for him to give his best ser
vice either to the state or his clients
and retain his seat in the senate
In his resignation the senate has
lost one of its ablest men. Being Il
lawyer of rare ability, Senator Echo )
was thoroughly familiar with the le-
gal questions involved in the differ
ent problems confronting the legisla-
ture, and his opinion on such matters
always carried considerable influence,
which distinguished him as one of
the leaders of the senate. He also
was regarded as one Of the most force
full orators in the legislature
Senator Echols was one of the chief
champions of the interest of the small
taxpayer and is the author of num-
Der of important bills and resolutions
designed to relieve taxation burdens,
among them being the bill to enlarge
the duties of the state board of equal
ization, which would make it posi-
Bile to collect several million dollars
in back taxes from large combines
doing business in the state.
Senator Echols left Oklahoma City
Saturday night for his home at L k
City. He was accompanied to the sta
tion by several of his former col
leagues and personal friends, who
gave him a rousing farewell.
There are now three vacant seats
in the senate, Senator Echols being
the third member to resign since the
regular session began. The other two
are Senator Joe b. Thompson OF
Pauls Valley, who resigned to take
his seat in congress as one of the
three congressman at large from the
state and Senator +. w. Anderson,
of Waurika, who resigned for business
reasons.
Neither of these places will be fill
ed during the extra session. A spec
ial election in their respective districts
would be necessary to choose their
successors, and Governor Cruce has
announced that he will not issue the
call for such elections, on account OF
the session being so near an end

Finicky Appetites
Put in Order
You Can Git Right Down and
Eat Anything Served if You
Get Acquainted With
Stuart 5 Dyspepsia
Tablets.

WITH a most pathetic sigh, the
dyspeptic sits down and views with
alarm his hungry companions Now,
the best doctrine for most people to
hand out to suffering stomachs is
to couple a square meal with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. To sit
down to a good meal and eat what
ever is served is getting back to the
carved the roast; when the family
made clean-up; and when good
appetites with sound digestion pro-
duced the men and women that have
made our nation what it is.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptic's hope. They are a nat
ural restorative of healthy action to
the stomach and small intestines be-
cause they supply the elements that
the weak stomach lacks-pepsin,
golden seal and other digestives.
If You are afflicted with any
symptoms of stomach trouble. be as
sured that your digestive organs are
losing poWer-they need help. and
there is no more sensible help to be
given them than to supply elements
which will do the work of digestion
for them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been found by test to have diges-
tive powers, one grain of the active
principle of these tablets being suf-
ticient to digest 1000 grains of ordi-
nary food. 1t is plain that no mat
ter what the condition of your stom-
ach, or how far your disease has
progressed one of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets taken at mealtime will
do the work-give your stomach an
opportunity to regain its lost pow
ers, the muscles will be strength
ened. the glands invigorated. and YOU
will be q new man.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets, at 30 cents a box.
