COL. WATSON COMING BACK;
FRIENDS SAY ELECTION SURE

Oklahoma City, July l7.-Col. A. p.
Watson, former member OF the state
corporation commission, visited the
commission headquarters this morn
ing and appeared to get the glad hand
on all sides. The colonel is now
selling sios and carrying on his
campaign for reelection to the com
mission as n side-line,
Politicians in discussing his chanc-
cs, say that if there is the usual num-
bcr of candidates in the field his re-
election is very probable, They cite
that he has a strong following which
feels that he was jobbed out of office.
81 understand" said one of the
coloncl's friends today, "the COVER
nor win not, as matter of policy,
countenance an administration can
didate for the place. This tends to
prove the governor does not care to
come out in the open as opposed to
Col. Watson, nevertheless we believe
the governor could have prevented
the movement which led to impeach-
ment and custer proceedings. 1t is
possible he was not back of the
movement to oust Watson. He could,
however, as we believe, have pre-
vented the injustice that was done
to one of the staunchest democrats in
the state-a man whose heart always
beats in sympathy with the poor
man"
That there is much bitter sentiment
in certain quarters following Wat
sons humiliation. leads to the eXpec-
tation of rolled political waters when
election time rolls round

TEN Is In vogue. Forty per cent OF
the farm debts at the banks were
carried over last year There are
very poor prospects that these debts
will be paid in their entirety this
year Money lending to credit farm.
crs Is becoming Improbable and
when 1t becomes Improbable it will
be stopped Merchandise selling to
people who go on credit became un-
profitable several years ago and there
has been less OF it in recent years
AS long as these conditions last
there Is despondent sense of poy-
erty in the country. 1t must be got
ten out of the WY before the coun-
try will ever go forward. 1t will take
labor and skill and economy and
thrift TO get 1t out OF the way. There
are farmers here who have had the
bulldog tenacity to stay away from
debt and they are the fellows who
are getting alons best
Tho conditions that prevail here
once prI>ailcd IN Kansas and Iowa.
The habit was stopped there because
credit merchandise selling and money
lending became unprohtablc When
the people could no longer borrow
they raised poultry and smaller
crops to pay running expenses and
when the real harvest time came the
farmer could put some money in the
bank As result of that the larger
portion of the wealth of bank de-
posts in those states belongs to the
farmers.
This land hero might not produce
quite rs much corn and wheat to
the acre as the land there. but that
disadvantage is overcome by the fact
that u greater variety of crops can
be grown here, the growing season is
longer, the feeding season Is shorter,
and to take the two countries as a
whole, this should have the advan-
tage What has been done by 9th,
ers can be done here. II will take a
bunch of determination and some bull
dog grit, but when the farmers band
together and overthrow the credit
system they will be in shape to make
some money, and never until then.
The same system of buying on
credit prevails in the towns Salaried
men buy ON time, very few of them
are ever even with the world Mer
chants lose many Of these accounts,
profits are wasted and the habit Of
thrift is destroyed.

STEEL WORKS DOING BETTER

New York, Jan. 14.-The Iron Age
says:
steel works are increasing slightly
their rate of operations. and for this
week a number of large companies are
running at 40 to so per cent. of ca
pacity The Steel Corporations per-
centage is As, and it may be able to
increase this shortly to so, as specifica-
tions are rather better.
Taking the trade through the first
half of January has brought no new
turn. The railroads naturally require
some time to canvass and finance their
needs and have so indicated in re-
sponse to intimations that early and
very considerable buying was now ex-
pected from them.
Wage readjustments, affecting prin-
cipally the highest paid men, are be-
ing made by a number of secret COM
panies, and are an inevitable result
of the long depression and the low
priced business on which mills will be
working for three months and probab-
| ly longer.
Rail buying thus far and that in
| prospect give no assurance of more
than partial employment for rail mills
through the winter. One large system
in fact, aims to avoid January and
February rollings because of suspect
ed effects of extremely low tempera-
lures.

part of the inspectors OF the many
safety and precautionary measures en-
bodied in the mine code of 1911"
Anthracite region reports show 500
fatalities last year against GA in 1918.
In one hard coal accident a mine cage
fell down a shaft, killing thirteen, and
another killed six while six were lost
by an explosion of gas. 1t is declared:
1T is undoubtedly true with relation
to the anthracite region that con-
dltions of safety have been improved
by the issuance to the operators in De-
cember, 1918, of additional precau-
tionary rules and suggestions for the
lessening of the dangers of mining op-
erations. The rule recurring two daily
inspections of every working place by
the mine foreman or assistant mine
foreman. in addition to the other in
spections made under the law, has
proved efficient as protection to the
workman"
Estimates on production are: An
thracite, about 10000, 900 tons, or the
same. as in 1913; bituminous,
lac. 900, 600 tons, decrease of "a, 900, 900
tons.
Coke production is said to have
fallen off 100000 tons, a fact which
affects the bituminous coal production
as well. The report says: "Other con-
trlbuting causes were the unsettled
conditions produced by national legis-
lation and the European war"

for it at the time and more later and
that he brought 1t to Pittman to he
mounted. Pittman, told of getting
the bird from PETER, to mount and of
the game wardens. Charles and Ar
thur Baum, of Harrisburg coming
to him and taking the eagle. telling
him that he was under arrest for hav-
ing the bird in his possession.
DR.. Kalbfus. first witness for the
defense, said that the defendants were
State game protectors, that the bird
was brought to him by one of the
wardens, and that it was a golden
eagle. That 1t was placed in the
State Museum and he has not seen
1t since. That he had told PETER, that
1t was not now and never was his
property, he said if he had his way
that the eagle would not be protected,
as he considered il an injurious bird.
The Baum brothers testified to seeing
Peffer, and of Offering to give him
the chance of paying the fine to save
cost of prosecution. The defendants S
attorneys said that the men acting
for the State were clother with au-
thority to take the bird thatthe higher
courts had decided that the birds be-
long to the State and there could be
no conviction.
The jury brought in a verdict find

The judge charged the jury that the
court would have no power to order
the return of the bird If the defend
ants were found guilty. There will be
