An old story tells Of woman Tho

Of all things evil" In her efforts

In the state OF Oklahoma, 1t Is
claimed that the railway companies
have never organized and maintained
a legislative lobby" The mainte-
nance Of a fullgrown and lfe-size
lobby which will satisfactorily do
business before a legislative body has
always proven an expensive luxury
10 the railways OF any and all states.
This being the case the highups in
railway circles OF Oklahoma have
thought II unnecessary to expend
money layishly in this new state"
Now, the members OF the different
bodies OF the Oklahoma Legislature
are honest law makers But they
have evidently reasoned that the true
test OF honesty is in the crucible OF
temptation. Christ was tempted on
the mount. The man who successfully
reforms as drunkar1, must be
willing to submit himself to all the
wiles OF the tempter in the form OF
strong drink before he has won his
spurs and Is recognized as being
truly reformed. The man who is a
true christian, must be one who has
willingly walked arm in arm with
temptation in every conceivable man
ner and form-who has wooed the
goddess who sings the footsteps OF
righteousness into the paths OF gilded
sorrow, only to desert her at the al

special committee. 1t would be given
judicial powers in compelling the at
tendance Of Witnesses, punishing for
contempt and have authority to sit

The house would ask the senate TO

OUR LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE BUSY
TAKE UP FARRlS CHARGES TO-
DAY-COmMITTEE'S DElisERA.
TloNs MAY NOT BE PUBLIC.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 19.-The
house committee on impeachment
and removal from office tomorrow
morning will begin consideration OF
Gov. Cruces message OF Saturday
transmitting the testimony taken IN
hearing OF the forgery charge against
Giles Farris. Accompanying it, the
attorney general suggested impeach'
ment charges against Farris and re-
fers TO the alleged connection OF
State Auditor Leo Meyer with the
Red Book transaction.
Z. ]. Gliding attorney for Farris,
will appear before the committee with
a statement showing that the state
printer was held blameless by the
Justice Of the peace before whom the
case was filed and will suggest enact
ment of a law that would penalize
anyone for filing criminal charges
with no basis for a case.
Defense claims Charge Baseless.
Attorney Giddings issued a state
ment yesterday to the effect there
was no basis for the charges against
Farris and that such could have been
developed had the attorney general
made the proper investigation.
The Farris case presents the first
action contemplating impeachment
charges since Oklahoma became a
state. II the committee determines
there is warrant for an inquiry by
Impeachment, it so reports TO the
house OF representatives and the lat
ter sits in the nature Of a grand jury,
returning a bill OF indictment. It's
vote determines whether there are
grounds for the action and if affirm
atively so the charges go to the SEN
ate for hearing and there it is de-
termined whether the officer proceed
ed against shall be impeached and
removed from the public service.
II had not been determined tonight
whether the committees session
would be open to the public. A res
omtion was adopted by the house Sat
urday directing the attorney general
to appear to render such assistance
as the committee deemed necessary.
which is construed to mean that he
will be permitted to advocate an in
peachment report. II Attorney GIN.
dngs is admitted on behalf Of Farris,
he would be permitted to oppose the
attorney generals position, assuming
that the attorney general cares to
press the forgery charges. The com
mittee is not confined to the case as
it appeared in the justice court, as
its scope of inquiry is unlimited; how
ever, there is a disposition to con-
slider only such matters as the attor-
new general has presented.

of State Auditor Meyer with the Red
Book transaction. it was indicated
