distress to renters generally and to
all classes in the end.
1t is the cash rent system of farm
rents.
This system has always been based
upon the theory of average annual
crops, and theoretically is an equit-
able deal
However, crop seasons have never
been regular, and short crops are as
common as bumper ones. When a
short crop comes the renter often
fails to realize even the amount of
his cash outlay and therefore finds
himself unable to raise the next years
rent. This puts them out of business
and he is compelled to hunt public
works, which too often lands him and
his family in some town surrounded
by Influences and difficulties of which
he is entirely unfamiliar and up
against competition with which he
can not compete. From past expert
ences it is a custom fraught with dis
aster--and should not be countenanced
by any man of limited means.
Renters as a class are much TO
blame for this style of rents, as a rule,
they are not making an effort to keep
up with the advanced methods of do
ing business, of which farming is fast
becoming a leader Its high time that
the idea prelalent that the old way of
farming is or can be a success should
be abandoned; and that men who still
expect to form rented grounds should
wake up to the idea that they must
pay either directly or indirectly the
interest and taxes on the farm they
occupy or change their occupation.
The real estate owner who depends
on renting their farms are as much
interested in this condition of affairs
as renters, and should give some
thought to this subject
Respectfully,

WILLARD AFTER MCCARTHY
IN THE EAST
Gives Up Five Coast Fights to Be Near
And Harass Luke.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 22.--In line
with his declaration that Luther Nc
Carty has nothing on him in any way
and that he can do everything the
Missourian can, less Willard plans to
grab some of the easy money to be
made by appearing before the foot
lights. Last Saturday night he landed
in Minneapolis, where he becomes a
.temporary sufiix to the regular burles-
que program staged by Impressario
Koenig at the Gaiety theater
Meanwhile Willard continues his
pugilistic career, while McCarty rests
upon his laurels. probably until July.
1t is Willard's intention, however, to
dog McCarty until out of sheer des-
peration he agrees to try conclusions
with the big Oklahoman. In order
that he might carry out this program,
Willard has refused James w. Crof-
froths offer for five fights on the
coast.
1t may be that within the next few
days Jess will become the property of
Tom Jones. manager of Ad Wolgast.
Some time ago, shortly after Charley
Cutler refused an offer of $4,000 for
Wizards management by a Chicago
syndicate, Jones offered $4,000 for the
big man. This was promptly refused.
Now Cutler again is anxious to get
busy upon the mat and has decided
that may be it would be best for Viii
lard and for himself as we'll, to dis
pose Of him. Consequently 1t is re-
ported that Cutler has announced he
would take $4,000 for Wizards man
agement an dthat Jones will give that
much for the man.

SHOPL|FTER CAUGHT
IN MARKS STORE

There seems to be an organization
OF negro shoplifters at work in this
city as the stores have missed q num-
ber of small articles at different times
and this morning three of them were
caught in the act of stealing garments
from the Marks store.
The thieves work three in bunch.
one of them engaging the clerk to
wait on him or her while the other
two wander from counter to counter
and conceal the articles taken. This
morning as the negroes left the place
OF business the manager missed some
shirts and caps and few other things
and followed the parties to the street.
They broke into a run but he seized
one OF them and in the skirnish that
followed pulled a shirt from under his
coat. This proved the guilt and the
other two made good their escape be-
ing cL.sed by number of people on
the street but not being overtaken.
The one that was caught was taken
to Jail. The managers of the different
stores have noticed these methods for
some time but have, heretofore been
unable to prove their suspicious.

FISHER WINS N
INDIAN DISPUTE
interior Secretary Who Removed
Tribal Council Upheld by
U. S. COURT.

Washington, Jan. 21.--With a long
examination of Secretary Fisher of
the interior department the house In
dian affairs committee today con-
ciuded its investigation of the contrc.
versy between the secretary and de-
posed members o6 the tribal council
LOT the Usage Indians and the Uncle
Sam Oil company over leases to In
dian oil lands granted by the daposcd
council to the Uncle Sam Oil company.
Secretary Fisher was emphatic in hts
opposition to the granting of the leases
to the Uncle Som Oil company and
caustic in his criticisms of the con
duct of the company in procuring the
leases.
While the secretary was testifying
the United States district court here
dismissed an application for writ of
mandamus that would force him to
reinstate the deposed officials of the
Indian tribe. The court held that the
law conferred ON the secretary the
power to remove the tribal chiefs and
council for good cause
CounsiI Members Unfit.
Secretary Fisher set forth that he
objected to the Uncle Sam leases be-
cause they gave the Indians royalty
only of oneeighth of the oil deported
instead Of at least one-sixth, which
he believed them entitled to. and be-
cause the leases OF the entir tract of
100000 acres would go to the Uncle
Sam company, whereas he favored the
development by small holders.
Ina statement as to his reasons for
removing the chiefs and councilmeIr.
Secretary Fisher said that Bacon Rind.
the principal chief; Red Eagle, the
assistant chief, and Tom West, one of
the councilmen were removed because
the department held their confessions
that they had accepted bribes in con-
nection with oil land leases in 1906.
The other members fthe council
were removed, he said, because spe-
cial investigator who visited the res
ervation found that the conditions did
not waWant their holding office.
Under the cross-examination by A.
J.. Wilson, counsel for the Uncle Sam
company, Secretary Fisher said that
the Uncle Som company was more
active in selling stock than in sink
ing wells. "

RAILROADS FILE
OBJECTIONS
Railroad Representatives Given Hear
ing by Senate Committees.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 22.--Represen-
tatives or every railroad operating in
Oklahoma constituting the operators
legislative committee, headed by Gen
eral Manager w. T. Tyler of the Frisco
appeared before joint meeting of
the senatorial committee on commerce
and labor and public service corpora
tions Monday night and told the com.
mittees why the railroads opposed GER
tain legislation that is now pending
in the senate.
The measure known as the full
crew. bill was the first taken up and
discussion of that measure assumed
such wide range that the committee
had to adjourn at 11:45 o'clock to
meet again Tuesday night, without
taking up the other bill which pro-
poses to compel railroads to maintain
hospitals within the state. This bill
will be considered at the meetipg
lueSudy nlBuC.
e. w. Vance, representing the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, ap-
peared on behalf of the trainmen,
whom he said were asking for The
new legislation.
Mr.. Tyler, the chief spokesman for
the operators, told the committee that
the proposed full crew" bill did not
represent the will of the majority of
the railroad trainmen of the state, but
was simply the work Of the labor
trust" whom he said had no special
interest in the development OF the
state or in the railroads, beyond ad-
ding another man to the payroll and
thereby help build up its organization.
The bill proposes that the railroads
shall add another brakeman to all
their passenger and freight crews.
Mr.. Tyler called attention to the in
crease in operating expenses to which
the roads would be put on account of
the bill and pointed out where inn
proyements within the state that are
now contemplated would have to be
abandoned and no expenditures made
except where it was absolutely neces
sary to maintain service. He said the
roads had made great effort to keep
abreast wit hthe development of the
state and that now many of the small
Ter towns were expecting improve
ments of various kinds which the
roads could not grant if they are put
to the increase in expenses by the
full crew" BILL
Argument in favor of the measure
is made on the ground that it is essen
tial for the safety of the public while
Mr.. Tyler told the committee that the
of another man to the crew
would be positive menace to sofety.
He called attention to a number Of
wrecks that have occurred recently in
which he showed that the third brake
man was largely to blame for the ac-
cident and offered to withdraw his OBJ
lection to the measure if single in
stance could be sighted where wreck
could have been ayerted by the pres
ence of the third lhan asked for in
the bill.

REFUSES
TO CONFIRM FRAME
Decides Two-Thirds Vote of Entire
Membership is Needed to
Confirm.

Oklahoma City. Jan. 22.-By full
constitutional majority of twenty-three
votes, the senate late Tuesday after
noon decided that a majority of its
entire membership is necessary for
the confirmation of gubernatorial ap.
pointments, thereby ending discussion
so far as the senate is concerned, on
the confirmation of Lon NJ. Frame as
chairman of the state board of af-
fairs and establishing precedent
that no doubt will figure prominently
in the senate's action on the other two
appointments yet to be taken.
This action followed the filing OF
split report by the legal advisory COM
mittee, to which the question of
whether constitutional majority was
necessary to confirm had been referred
several days ago. The majority re-
port Of that committee, signed by
Senators Roddie, Thomas, Shaw and
Briggs, took the view that constitu.
tional majority was necessary for con-
iirmation, while the minority report,
signed by Senators Carpenter and
Franklin, held that constitutional
majority was required only on the
final adoption of legislation.
The roll call on the motion to sub
stitute the minority for the majority
report showed 1S for 1t and53 against
and the vote on the adoption of the
majority report was just the reverse,
20 for and Is against.
AS soon as the majority report was
adopted a motion by Senator Thomas
and seconded by Senator Roddie to re-
consider the vote by which the report
had been adopted and to lay the ques-
tion on the table indefinitely was car.
ried, thereby adding what might be
termmed "clincher" to the plan to
prevent a revival of the question.
Second cIincher.
A plan to change the wording OF the
journal of the proceedings on the day
the senate voted on Frames confirma-
ton, which necessarily will figure in
the legal proceedings which probably
will be instituted in the courts by
Frame, also was defeated. thereby adj
ding another "clincher" to the senate's
action on the confirmation.
The journal of the proceedings of
the senate on the day Frames appoint
ment was voted on simply shows that
the question came up for considera.
tion and that the appointment was re-
jected through failure to receive a !
constitutional majority The vote, |
which stood q for and 19 against, is
not recorded in figures. When the |
question is brought before the courts |
it is contended that the court cannot /
go behind the journal, which is the
official record of the senate, and con
sequently will have no official way of
determining the vote, and cannot say
whether it was constitutional or nm
constitutional. In other words, accord !
ing to the contention of some of the
senators, the court will have to ac-
cept as official and binding the jour
nal record which shows Mr. Frames /
was rejected
Other Appointments.
According to the precedent estab-
lished in this case it will be necessary
for the appointment of John B. Doolin
as state game warden and Ben W. !

Giants To Be In Marlin On Feb. IS
Kinsel1a To Direct Work In Camp
BY DAMON RUNYON.

Games at New Orleans.
It is known that the Giants will be
In New Orleans three days next spring,
thus reSuming relations with the fam
Gus southern city that were shattered
some years ago. Last spring, when
the Giants were coming up from the
south, headed for Mobile, the New
Orleans club found itself with an open
date on the exhibition schedule, and
offered it to McGraw.
On account of the trouble they had
there when they started to play the
Athletics a spring series, the Giants
were supposed to be in very foreign
with the fans of New Orleans, but
they drew well in spite of bad
weather, and then McGraw decided TO
make as long a stand as possible there
III 1914. New Orleans will take the
place on the Giant schedule formerly
held by Mobile, where they used to
spend several days Mobile took the
place Of Atlanta.
VIII Play At Mobile.
The Giants VIII again play at No
bile, but will make no extended stop
there. Mike Finn, former scout, and
farm agent of the Giants, has gone to
Memphis, ana McGraW would like TO
get date there. Harry Mccormick,
late pinch hitter, and now manager
at Chattanooga, is after the Giant
date usually assigned to Birmingham.
This has always been the most in
convenient stop the club makes, but
one of the best paying. Harry will
have to show John Foster something
to get that date.
Last season both the first and sec
ond Giant teams more than paid ex-
penses on their trip north, which is
ball. The second team, with Jim
Thorpe, proved almost as great an at
traction as the first team. The famous
indian paid for himself on that jaunt
alone.
