Bids Opened On State Oil Leases.

Bids for oil and gas leases on the
beds of the Arkansas and Cimarron
rivers were opened by the school land
commissioners. Seven bids were pre-
scented, each bid being accompanied
by a certified check for $4,000.
The bidders were Charles Page Of
Tulsa, c. N. Haskell for the No. Il Oil
company, Clement and LAYER of Tulsa,
George L. Miller of Ponca City, G. T.
Belt Of Muskogee, Robert Galbreath
OF Tulsa and R. E. Williams of Buffalo.
The bids are for lease on that portion
of the Cimarron river below Cushing
and the Arkansas river above Tulsa.
1t probably will take the board some
time to determine which bid is the
best. Each bidder offers the state a
certain bonus and royalty on the oil
and gas produced.

LET RESULTS SHOW
Democratic Party Stands on Its
Revision of the Tariff.
Wise and Constructive craftsmanship
Has Been Employed and the Coun-
try's Vslce in Praise Will
Be the Reward.

No question is more important in
specializing as to the future than the
state of the Democratic tide. Has it
yet begun to recede? Amy party in
power gradually accumulates discon-
tent among its own adherents, and
by its action solidifies the opposition.
In this way the latter's wounds are
healed, its breaks restored, and its
ascendancy in time secured-if 1t is
destined at all to live.
to indicate any material recession OF
the Democratic tide. The special
election In New Jersey resulted in a
Democratic triumph, against a still
divided opposition. quite as conclusive,
all things considered, as that In No
vember. The election in the Weeks
district last spring, when Mitchell
barely missed equaling the combined
vote of Cutting and Norman White.
indicated no abatement Of Democrat
ic strength.
But November should render a
more decisive verdict, in the few
elections to be held then. While the
contest In New York city will not be
fought on party lines, both the lead
ing candidates being supporters OF
Wilson. the result should reveal some
thing OF the state of the public mind
toward the nearly everywhere ascend
ant Democracy. Reform victories In
New York have usually been won in
periods when the Democratic tide was
running low.
But the element of mystery lies In
the new tariff. II that pleases the
people, and signs of lowered cost OF
living appear, the Democrats have
little to fear But II 1t proceeds to
shut up the factories on every hand,
as some of the stand-pat Republican
senator's maintain, the ballot boxes,
even as soon as November, will feel
the effects. Nobody yet knows to q
certainty how this tariff will work
All sorts of opinions are expressed
1t can be subjected to no better test
than that of actual operation, and on
the way it stands up under this trial
more than on anything else, does the
political outlook Of the country now
depend.

DReasonabIe Time" is Given Le.soss.

After submitting to the interior de-
partment arguments and reasons as
to why the suits instituted in the west
ern half of Oklahoma, on account OF
delinquencies in the payment OF lease
rents, on the dates mentioned IN the
leases, and presenting the difiiculties
under which the farmers in Oklahoma
are laboring on account of the drouth
and hot winds, members of the OKLA
homa delegation in congress have sue
ceeded in securing the sanction OF the
department of the plan to defer action
in these cases for reasonable time
so as to give the lessees and their
bondsmen opportunity to meet their
obligations.
The assistant secretary of the de-
partment wrote the attorney general,
who was intrusted with the prosecu'
ton of the suits, saying:
1.-THE department is willing that &C.
ton in these cases should be deferred
for a reasonable time so as to give
the lessees and their bondsmen oppor'
tunity to meet their obligations. 1t
is not seen how the interests OF the
Indians would suffer by a reasonable
delay in cases in which it is apparent
that the payment will be made during
the coming fall.
1T is suggested that the matter be
referred to the United States attorney
for the western district of Oklahoma
with instructions to delay the prose
cution of the suits when he is advised
by the parties that they will meet
their payments within a reasonable
time"

Referendum On CAPITOL Sought.

A petition to refer the state capitol
appropriation bill, embracing approx
imately $75O,00O for state capitol build
ings, and which would have become
available October 4, was filed with
Secretary of State Ben F, Harrison
by H. T. Swearingen of Guthrie and
j. 2. Wyand of Muskogee.
1t will require about $4,000 names
to be secured by October to make
the petition effective.
The appropriation for capitol build
ings includes the $15OO0O donated by
Oklahoma City, added to remnants of
other unused appropriations, totaling
about $75O,OOO. If the provisions of
the law are not complied with by
those circulating the new petition, the
appropriations will be available for
use after October 4.

White Faction is Winner In Court

WNlNC dIhiON 10 w NSN'N
The "Ewers White" faction of the
state board of agriculture drew first
blood in the contest as to which set of
delegates constituted the agricultural
institute meeting held last winter at
saltwater, Okla, when Tom B. Nc
Keown, sitting as special judge in Ok
lahoma county, directed State Auditor
]. C. McClelland to audit and allow
the expense claim of G. M. Snider Of
Okfuskee county, who attended the
meeting presided over by Ewers
White.
Auditor McClelland was given five
days in which to audit and allow the
claim, in default of which the per-
emptory writ of mandamus will be is
sued by Judge McKeown.
The legislature last winter appro-
priated $4,000 for the payment of ex-
penses of delegates who attended the
saltwater netting, conditioned upon
the courts first determining which of
the two sets of delegates we're entitled
to the money.

Asks Commission For Cheaper Gas

A complaint charging discrimination
in the price of gas against the Creek
County Gas company was filed with
the corporation commission by j. H.
Bells, representing the complainant,
the Cotton Oil company of Cushing.
The Gushing company alleges in its
complaint that the Creek County Oil
company has refused to furnish gas
at the rate of cents thousand cubic
feet, which is the same rate the oil
company is said to charge the Jane
Oil company and the Colonial Refining
company. Bells alleges that the
Creek county company has refused
to make any contract with him except
through the Cushing Gas company, its
distributing agent, and that it insists
on charging him 10 cents a thousand
cubic feet, which he alleges, is twice
the amount the same company charges

1t is highly gratifying to learn that

II is foolish to burden the president
with the responsibility Of filling these
minor posts. The time he is obliged
to spend considering such appoint
ments is absolutely wasted. There

for him to wrestle with without being
handicapped by refereeing petty

Some Argentine corn, Canadian
barley and oats and the by
products OF mills will find a
market here when the tariff
obstacle is removed. But all of
thsee cannot make up the
deficiency in corn or take it's
place in the finishing of livestock
for market. Meats are bound to
continue dear under such circum-
stances. Livestock is already
being marketed prematurely to
save corn. which must have its
effect on later supplies. The
feeding period will naturally be
short when corn is high, result
ing in lighter weights and less
meat. Unless unexpectedly liber-
al supplies of meats can be found
In other counties there will be a
shortage after the grass cattle
and sheep have been marketed.
