J. c. lJAMS, WELL KNOWN LOVE
COUNTY CITIZEN, WILL SUc-

TENDENT OF HOME.

Notwithstanding the general belief
that the board of trustees of the Con
federate Home would not appoint a
successor to Judge Gait who had ten
dered his resignation effective October
l, until the regular semi-annual meet
ing the first Monday in next month,
they decided to settle the question
today, and after a brief session at
the home this morning, named J. C.
Ijams Of Marietta as the successor of
Judge Calf
Mr. Ijams is cne of the pioneers
of the southern portion of the state,
and there is general satisfaction
throughout the district over his ap-
pointment. Mrs. May Hayden,
daughter of Mr.. Ijams, was at the
same time appointed matron of the
home, and her duties will begin at the
same time as Mr.. Ijams, October l.
1t was with regret that the trustees
accepted the resignation of Judge
Gait. He has more than made good
in his trying position, but in the
selection of Mr. Ijams, they feel that
he has a worthy and competent
successor.

$1CO EACH WILL BE THE AMOUNT

TENDER.

All Chickasaw Indians will receive
per capita payment of 500 through
the Union Agency at Muskogee in
September. The Choctaws will not
receive their per capita payment, be
cause the measure was defeated by
John Sharp Williams in the senate,
VINO opposed it because the Choctaws
yet remaining in Mississippi were
not included in the payment.
All applications will have to be
filed with the field clerk at the Union
Agency for this money, and a most
thorough plan has been adopted to
prevent any Indian being overlooked.
5. A. Mills, field clerk in charge OF
the local office, will begin an itin-
erary Monday, which includes every
town in this district, to get the names
of those entitled enrolled His itin-
erary includes Berwyn, Baum, Hewitt,
Fox, Woodford, Marietta, Burneyyille
and Enville. This is done to take ap-
plications, and anyone entitled TO this
money who is sick, If they will notify
the field clerk, a man will be sent
10 their home, SO that proper enroll
ment can be made. During this time
the local office will remain open, with
a clerk in charge, and the work here
will be uninterrupted.
There are approximately 5000
Chickasaws who will receive this per
capita payment, which means that
nearly one million dollars will be paid
out in this immediate vicinity.

TENANT SYSTEM
IRRESPONSIBLE

THIS is THE CAUSE GIVEN BY
FARMERS IN EASTERN PORTION

ASK LAND OWNERS TO MEET.

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 10.-That the ten
ant system in vogue in eastern Okla
homa is responsible to a greater de-
gree for the poor crop showings in
many sections of the state than unto
ward weather conditions, is the claim
of agricultural demonstrators who are
planning for a convention of land own
ers. representative tenants and agri-
cultural experts for the purpose of put
ting this country on a better basis.
Eighty per cent of the farmers of
Tulsa county are tenants. Three
fourths of the Creek county farmers
are tenants. Not over 40 per cent OF
the men residing on farms in Wagon
er Muskogee and Rogers counties
own the soil they till.
Many of these tenants are good
farmers and would succeed in their
endeavors if allowed to pursue their
own plans. Where the land is owned
by spectators. however, the custom
has been TO insist upon the tenant
specializing upon some one crop, usu-
ally cotton, which is regarded as a
money crop and more likely to bring
bigger returns TO the landlord. If cot
ton is failure or a short crop, the
tenant loses on his years work, but
the landlord succeeds in getting some
cash rent
There is no objection to the owner
of the land obtaining a good return
from his Investment. but the farm up

lifters assert ii is up to the land lord
to cooperate with the tenant for the
mutual benefit OF both and the better
ment of agricultural conditions in the
country. Another serious drawback is
that farms are few and far between
in this half of Oklahoma that are
equipped with improvements tit to
shelter the stock, much less to house
the family At the Forthcoming con
yention. II is said, an effort will be

ATTITUDE ON
n { c R D { 8
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR Gov
ERNOR MAKES HIS POSITION
PLAIN ON THE NEGRO QUES-
TloN. STATE LAWS SUIT HIM.

John Fields, the republican nomi
nee for governor made the second
speech of his campaign for election
here last night, and he featured it by
stating his attitude on the negro ques-
ton, meeting all its phases squarely.
II is the first time that a republican
nominee for governor of Oklahoma has
met this issue and outlined his views,
and in doing so Fields placed himself
squarely on record. His following de-
claration on the negro question met
with the crowds instant and unani-
nous approval:
81 have been asked today as to my
attitude bearing on matters involving
the various phases of the negro ques-
tiOn. The separate school question is
settled. The present law was enacted
by republican legislature and signed
by republican governor. Four demo-
cratic legislatures have not changed
it. 1t seems satisfactory to all OF us.
II suits me and it will remain un-
changed while I am governor. The
separate coach question is settled
The present law suits a majority of
the people of Oklahoma; it suits me
and it will not be changed while | am
governor. Unlike Senator Gore, |
shall not appoint negroes to official
positions with authority over white
men and women. The conditions un-
der which negroes may vote are de-
termined under specific provisions of
the state constitution. This cannot be
changed excepting by a vote of the
people. 1t will be my sworn duty to
enforce the constitution and laws of
this state. | shall make no exception.
Any attempt to inject the negro ques-
ton into this campaign will be for
the purpose of binding you to the
real issues, by stirring up the ashes
of the dead past, so that you cannot
clearly see your present duty"

The Richest Railroad in the World

When one encounters in the records
of South American railroads such eX-
traordinary figures as 100000 a mile,
it appears impossible that railroads
can be built in that country with any
kind of a chance for profit, for $780,
900 is far more than the average per
mile capitalization of, for instance,
the Pennsylvania Railroad. That it can
be done on a small scale is evidenced
by the Sac Paulo Railway in Brazil
which is a little road eighty-six and
one-half miles long, that cost more
than 100000 a mile, and that earn
ed 'ast year on it's main line more
Il - 100000 a mile and was able to
pay II per cent on its common stock
The largest part of its earnings come
from coffee. II probably earns more
money per mile of road than any other
railroad anywhere on either American
continent, the figures being we'll in
excess of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
or of the Panama railroad, which
stands close to the top of the list in
volume of gross earnings per mile

American interests-C. NJ Keys in the
