PARD0NS ARE
RE Y D t D
GOVERNOR CRUcE PROCEEDS TO
NULLIFY THE LIEUT.. COVER
NOR'S CLEMENCY-TEXT OF OR.
DERS.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 7.-Thirty-two
revocation orders proposing to nullify
as many pardons, paroles and commu-
tations of sentences granted last week
by Acting Governor ]. ]. MsAlester
were issued Tuesday afternoon by
Governor Lee Cruce. About dozen
more of the acting governors acts
of clemency are yet under investiga-
ton by Governor Cruce and probably
will be revoked or validated some time
Wednesday.
While Governor Cruce was signing
the revocation orders Tuesday after
noon, habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted in the district court of
Pittsburg county by attorneys repre-
senting several of the men whom Nc
Alester pardoned or paroled, in an eff
fort to secure their freedom.
The orders issuedb y Governor
Cruce on the theory that McAlester's
pardoning acts were illegal because
they did not pass through the prison
board of control and for the further
reason that Secretary of State Ben
F. Harrison did not attest the par
dons or affiX the seal of the state on
them.
After reciting the name of the per-
son to whom the "purported pardon
was issued crime, place of convic-
ton and sentence the revocation order
in each instance states:
Text Of Orders.
"Now, therefore, !, Lee Cruce, gov
trnor of the state of Oklahoma, in
consideration of the premises, and be-
cause the public good requires it, by
virtue of authority vested in me by
law, hereby recall, revoke, cancel and
hold for naught said purpoted (parole,
pardon or commutation of sentence)
and order that the secretary of state
do not authenticate the same by af-
fixing the seal of the state thereto"
E. G.. McAdams of the law firm of
McAdams and Haskell, which has
been retained to represent a number
of the pardoned and paroled men
state Tuesday night that the very
order of Governor Cruce, attempt
ing to revoke the pardons was in
itself an acknowledgment that the |
acts of McAlester were official. He
said Secretary of State Harrison |
would be summoned to present the
revocation orders in the district
court of Pittsburg county Friday
when the habeas corpus
were called for trial.

Farmers to Succeed Must Keep Books.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side E. C. Whitmyre writes an article
entitled ''How Friend of Mine Figured
the Profit" in which he tells the story of
a farmer who failed and later succeeded
because of the radical change in his
methods This farmer invested So, 600 in
the dairy business on a small farm near
town of 5000 population. He worked
hard but in three years found that he was
practically failure. His failure was due
largely to the fact that he had neglected
to figure his costs and expenses and to
adjust his business, and particularly his
purchases, collections and prices, to the
exact conditions of his undertaking. He
took the advice given to him, and Mr..
Whitmyre continues:
"In three years he had revolutionized
his business. He knows at the end of
every day just where he stands. If he
has made a profit of 500 he knows it..
He knows himself, and he knows his
business. It's just a case of building on a
scientific basis.
''To-day we are hammering away at
the farmer for the lack of conducting his
farming in way to get the most out OF
it. Yet the development of the farmer
has been wonderful. The farmer who
conducts his place on scientific basis Is
the man who rides to town in his auto
mobile He has learned what to plant,
when to plant it, and how to plant it. He
has machinery that saves him time and
money. But has he learned the value OF
a strict watch on the financial end of his
business? If he has he need not worry

Farming Implement that Guides Itself.

One of the latest innovations in farm
ing implements is a gasoline driven vehi-
Gle that guides itself around the field and
needs no attention except to be started
and stopped at right points. This vehi-
Gle, which is described, with illustration,
in the July Popular Mechanics Magazine,
travels in a constantly narrowing circle
and is so designed that any OF the devices
nsed in row-crop farming, such as plows,
ridgers, cultivators or sprayers, may be
readily attached to it. In order to use
the implement, it is necessary to abandon
the usual rectangular form of field with
straight rows and adopt circular field
with circular rows spiraling toward the
center. The method is not adapted to
big farms but is intended for truck gar
dening and for farming on small scale
where the expense of employing an oper-
ator for the machine would be prohibi-
tive.

GAS ON THE STOMACH

F1atulence, or gas in the digestive tract
is an annoying accompaniment OF lntes'
binal indigestion and constipation. AS
rule it indicates that food is being retain
ed in the stomach and intestlnes longer
than nature intended.
When colicky pains accompany, the
presence of gas the need OF a gentle laxa-
tive to clear away the offending food resi-.
due is imperative. If the condition OF
constipation is not quickly corrected
coated tongue, eruptions on the SKIN,
headaches and backaches soon show that
the poisons have found their way into
the circulation.
The use of the gentle laxative pills,
Pinklets, will not only Danish these I'm,
pleasant symptoms quickly but, II used
regularly for a reasonable time, Will
really correct chronic constipation.
Pinklets are not like harsh purgatives
that leave the bowels dry and in the end
worse than before. Pinklets gently assist
nature, never grippe and are so small and
easy to take that they are known as the
dainty laxative.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets or they will he sent by mail,

THE BOOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY.
How it Is Affected I'm .er the Democratic
Tariff Law.

How it Is Affected I'm FER the Democratic
Tariff Law.
l. WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is, 1914.
That the Democratic tariff is tearing up
the American boot and shoe industry ia
shown by the official figures from admin
istrative bureaus of the government.
Under the Democratic tariff law. for
eign-made shoes are being sold in the
very shadow of the Capitol of the United
States. Since the Underwood tariff law
placed all boots and shoes on the free
list, foreign-made footwear has been
flowing into the United States at a STEAD
lily increasing rate.
The Underwood law has not been on
the statute books full year, yet the
importations of boots and shoes for the
first seven months it was in effect almost
equalled the total importations for the
entire year of 1918. 1t looks as though
the first year of the Democratic tariff
law would bring twice the amount of
foreign-made boots and shoes into this
country that were imported the whole of
last year under the Republican tariff
law.
These statements are based on figures
which Representative John J. Esch of
Wisconsin has just secured from the
Director of the Census, and the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Mr.. Esch has just given these figures
out for the first time. He says: 1.-The
United States is the leading manufac-
turer Of footwear IN the world, and its
total output is valued at over $500, 900, 600
annually, giving employment to quarter
of a million people. While it is true that
the importations compared with our total
domestic output is relatively small, the
increase in the importations since the
new law went into effect is relatively
large and is significant in that it shows
new law, there will be an increased dis
placement of American made goods, with
a consequent lessened demand for Ameri-
can labor.
mo one will deny that our American
workmen ought to have furnished the
half million dollars worth of boots and
shoes which will be imported during the
first year of the new laws operation,
especially when there has been no reduc-
tion in the cost to the American con-
sumer.
"With like PURPOSES and effect as to
other industries, the American home
market will be broken down; unemploy-
ment will be increased; purchasing pow
er diminished; stagnation in business
continue and even grow worse. Truly,
Democracy, so far as the tariff is con-
cerned, has learned nothing, but the
people must learn anew the lesson of
$685."
