"LOsing Their Rights"

"My experience in Congress has led
me to believe we are rapidly riding
to the extinction of all rights of the
States, and that if we continue at the
same pace it will be only question of
time, it will be economy and wisdom
to abolish the States, because from an
economic standpoint they will be
costly encumbrances with govern
ments that have nothing to admins
ter, and the consequence is they will
merely be administered from the i'm
perial source of Washington oligarchy
In view of my heritage as a States
rights Democrat, of the sorrowful
but glorious experience of my State
and of my constant observation of the
works of governmental institutions, |
cannot withhold from the States the
rights to do that which if it had
been denied them in the beginning, not
single State would have gone into
the union" Governor Montague de-
clared that the question of submitting
to the fedral constitution
by congress is not mere adminis--
trative duty, but problem which
should be handled by Representatives
with care to preserve the rights of the
States.

Looping the Line.

C. r. Stewart is spending much time
now in directing the work of looping
the line from Healdton to Addington.
One loop begins at Addington and ex-
tends four miles to the east. This
work is under construction and will
probably be finished by Tuesday night.
Mr.. Stewart is hauling the workmen
back and forth from Addington where
they can secure sleeping accommoda-
tions. Immediately after the Adding
ton loop is completed the Mud Creek
loop of six miles will be begun. This
loop will begin at the Mud Creek pump
station and will extend east toward
the Healdton field for distance of six
miles. When that work is begun it
will be necessary for a camp to be es-
tablished for the accommodation of
the men.

THE OKLAHOMA EXHIBIT.
Lack of Funds Largely Offset by the
Personality of Mrs. Sutton.

Personality of Mrs. Sutton.
1t was but natural that every Okla
homan who visited the San Francisco
exposition should seek out the home
OF the representation of our own state
Although not so extensive as some
of the larger and older states, Okla
homa was represented, and 100 much
credit cannot be given Mrs. Frederick
+. Sutton, who had charge of the
Oklahoma exhibit, and whose untir!ng
and ceaseless effort made a success
of the Oklahoma representation,
Notwithstanding the fact that she was
terribly handicapped by the lack cf
means-thanks to the powers who
might have. and should have, granted
the adequate funds to carry on this
important work.
The exhibit in itself was a surprise
not only to Oklahomans, but to
those who came from other states
who have thoughtlessly regarded Ok
lahoma as the home of the cowpdnCh
er, bad man and untamed red brother.
The art works of the exhibit were
superb, and would rank highest even
among those from the brushes Cf
better known artists.
Among the subjects treated by Ok
= n
of the state, the pioneer. reflections,
landscapes and others, as well as
some splendid examples of ap work.
Mrs. Sutton has made the most of
her opportunities to show what Ok
lahoma has to offer, and the state
should feel deeply grateful to her
for her unselfish efforts in the midst
of handicap.

son is in receipt of a reply from
the attorney general in which it is
stated that the complaint was not
amended, and that it was filed in
the office of the corporation commits
sion as it was originally prepared by
Mr.. johnson.
The complaint is in the nature of
an injunction suit against every pro.
ducing company in the field, asking
that they be enjoined from taking
any oil from the sands until there is
market for the oil at the well for
at least 55c a barrel.
Smith c. Matson, formerly of this
city, who is now assistant attorney
general, will assist Mr.. Freezing in
the prosecution of the case, and the
attorney generals office will follow
Mr.. Johnsons lead as he is the at
torney for the Producers Association
This suit will put to the test the
power of the state to fix the price
of crude oil, and the progress of the
case and the final adjudication OF
the question will he closely watched
by all other states which have pro
ducing oil fields.

Will Test Contracts.

One of the most reputable attorneys
of the Ardmore bar is authority for
the statement that before the end of
the week a suit will be filed that will
thoroughly test the contracts which
producers have made with the Produc-
ers Pipe Line Company. There has
been a ten cent advance since the
contract was made with the Gaines
vile refinery people and the company
which sold 500 barrels a day is now
paying a penalty of $50 a day, and
when oil gets to 81 barrel, the pen
atty will be $3.50 a day. Minority stock
holders, it is said, will make a test
of the 30-cent sale.

The pipe line made only light run

Steel Tanks Building.

Reports from the field state that as
many as 20 steel tanks have been or
dered and will be under construction
within a short time. The producers
can get for their oil the market price
plus the storage any time they want to
sell. BY having this offer they cannot
lose by building storage, and they
have a chance to make a profit, as oil
keeps coming up, and some of those
who are best informed, believe it will
be selling for a dollar by the first of
the year.

ing when the Magnolia Pipe Line Com
pany posted a price of 4Oc for Heald-

MONEY!
BETTER FEEL
INC PREVAILS
ANYONE HAVING CLAIM AGAINST
SANTA FEE WHO AGREED WITH
OFFICIALS, HANDED CHECKS
SATURDAY AND TODAY.

Ready money as soon as the agree
ment is reached. That about expresses
the way settlement were made Sat
urday and today between claimants
and the Santa Fe Railroad company.
Saturday many checks were issued
by officials here for settlement of
minor claims. Torn roofs, demolished
chimneys and glass claims were cas-
lily settled, and the claimants left
the office with checks for their
claims and are in position to imme-
diately put the necessary repairs on
their homes and places of business.
The officials have secured offices II
the Sims Pennington building on West
Main street, where they will be found
ready to adjust all claims with indi-
viduals who care to make settlement
direct with them, and not await the
action of the committee.
Many such claims have been paid
already, and many more will be at
once, as the fairness of the railroad
company throughout the entire affair
has been the means of restoring con
fidence in the road, and the popular
prejudice that usually prevails against
the railroads is practically unknown
in Ardmore at the present time.
Following is list of those who
have signed with the committee up
to noon today. Several will be added
before nightfall Claimants are be-
ginning to realize that the railroad
company wants to be fair with them
and the citizens committee is being
commented on as the best jury for
the peoples interests that they coull
possibly secure.

Twelve Standard Vessels Lie

Twelve ships, waiting to carry vast
consignment of oil to the Allies, lie
empty off the Standard Oil Company's

threatens to cripple the big plant
Last week the still-men, who clean
out the great cauldrons into which the
oil is led before being barrelled. asEed,
in view OF the many orders coming TO
the Standard Oil Company from Europe,
for a Is per cent advance in pay. This
was refused, and they walked out. No
oil can be barrelled for the cargo
steamers waiting until they go back
to work.
The discomfort at their present pay
spread through the 5000 Poles, Hun
garians, Firms and other hyphenated
Americans working for the company at
Bayonne. They demanded higher wages,
and when they did not get them threat
ered to strike. The threat Will prob
ably become a fact some time this
week. There have already been several
small riots, in which fifteen of the
striking still-men have been arrested
and during which blackjacks have been

child from the baby carriage and ran
across the street. Attracted by the
mothers cries. Patrolman Greenburg
gave chase.
The man, with the baby tucked under
his arm. reached the roof of the house
at POI East Fifty-sixth Street with the
officer after him. A crowd Of more
than 500 persons yelled threats and
curses, mingled with cries of Ripper,
as they watched the man reach the roof
of the adjoining house and disappear
through the scuttle. Greenburg was
gaining and soon had the man corncrrd
in the cellar. The baby was restored
TO her mother.
Two little girls told the patrolman
that the prisoner had tried to entice
them into a hallway with the promise
of a dollar bill. The girls were Jean
cite Sweeney. ten years old. and WI
bemena Ebeling, eleven. Both live at
974 Third Avenue.
At the police station the prisoner
