session of the legislature following the
1910 census, but it has been deferred
from time to time and has not yet
been accomplished.
At present, while there are forty
four senators, there are Only thirty
three senatorial districts, or in other
oTds, there are eleven senatorial dis
tricts similar to the one composed Of
Oklahoma and Canadian counties,
which two state senators are elected
at large.
The constitutional provision was
that the thirty-three districts should
exist until after the 1910 federal
census and that at that time the re-
appointment was to be made with one
senatorial district for each state SEN
ator the size of the district to be de-
termined by the population, and no
county to be divided except in the
case of counties such as Muskogee and
Oklahoma. where two entire districts
could be made from the one county.

posed extra session VIII take $4,000,
as the measure of a senatorial district

the total of the population of the dis
tricts proposed therein.

and yet the re-counted ballots showed
that every voter in that precinct had
voted for some one of the candidates
for that office. This was strong
feature of the contention, and in his
instructions to the jury Judge Huston
told them that if from the evidence
they we're satisfied beyond a reason
able doubt that even one ballot had
been tampered with they should decide
against the contestant
During the trial the evidence was
brought out that w. H. Hornaday, who
was also an election official, had fail
ed to express a choice for the various
candidates for sheriff. Mr.. Hornaday
,Iocognized his ballot when it was
called by the counters, he saw his bal
lot together with other ballots strung
placed in the box and sealed by the
inspector, and he personally accom-
panied the inspector with the box and
saw it delivered to the county election
board. And yet when that precinct
was re-counted there was not a ballot
which showed a blank for the office
of sheriff. That was probably the
strongest evidence before the jury but
there was more brought out of a like
nature.
Whoever may be responsible for the
peculiar condition of the ballots in
most of these contested precincts. it
is very certain that the faith and con-
fidence of the common voter of Logan
county in the integrity and fairness
of some men who would pose as fair
and honest servants has been terribly
shattered by this iamentable incident
For when it comes to be generally un-
derstood that there is no sacredness
or safety in the ballot in this county,
and that a voter can not have absolute
assurance that his ballot, as voed, will
be honesty counted and recorded, and
preserved, then there is bing sown
among honest, confiding voters the
seeds Of anarchy Because it is a
large part of the patriotic principle Of
the ordisary voter that both his and
his political opponents ballots shall
be fairly, honestly counted, recorded
and sacredly preserved.
The contest was conducted in every
respect with fairness and at all times
the court showed a determination to
get the facts before the jury; the
rulings were fair and considerate.
The attorneys on both sides made
every effort to get at the bottom OF
things. but some of the testimony was
hardly what the rontestant was led 70

The Call.

The common ordinary call is ming
ling Of pleasure and duty-of pleasure
when we are referring to it in the
presence of the one called upon, and
1f duty when we are talking to our.
selves. 1t lies at the root of all so.
eial impulses. 1t is the foundation
stone of society. The lamentations of
Mrs. Noah have not been recorded,
but we know how badly she must have
felt after that little freshet that took
place some paltry centuries ago, to
think there was one left to send out
cards to. Mrs. Noah, so to speak, had
20 raise her own callers, and then she
was too old to enjoy calling as it
ought to be enjoyed. When Mrs.
Shem or Mrs. Japhet dropped in and
remarked how pretty the artificial
flowers in the glass case in the parlor
were, and whether they were picked
fresh that morning, Mrs. Noah no
doubt had not the youthful vein of sar-
casm to reply in way that would
show her caller the measure of her
appreciation Of something which she
knew was intended to make her un-
comfortable.
Since Mrs. Noah's time, women have
gone on making calls more or less fire.
quently, and men have avoided them,
with much the same dogged persist
ence that has marked Columbus or
Carlyle.
A mans idea about making a call
Is that it is one Of the best and finest
and most desirable and easiest things
not to do: and he believes this q
good deal more than he does religion
or politics. The proposition in logic
that all men are not callers,-Jones is
not caller, therefore Jones is man,
lis a fundamental axiom, and no one
but woman would ever think of con
tradicting it. The only time when the
average man takes a genuine pleasure
in a call is when he holds four aces.
The average woman, on the other
land, is caller by nature, tempera
mknt, tradition, premeditated design
and inclination. She not only calls to
show what she herself has on, but al
so to find out if what the other woman
has on is any better-thus killing two
birds with one stone. The ordinary
call is also to her a social training
school, whereby she learns to talk with
out thinking. 1t is easier to talk with
out thinking when one is in a crowd,
all doing the same thing, but one is
apt TO become self-conscious where
there is only Cne other listening, and
this in itself is good practice.
A call Is not properly a call when
there are more than two participants
II then becomes a community of in
sipiency and is on the edge of being
a function.
Among women, the common or or
d;nary call is Y complete when two
women meet for twenty minutes to
decide (D which one has the better
clothes; (2) which one has the better
husband; and (3) which one has the
better servant. 1t is then time to gol
