Legislatures are strange things
Two years ago, when the custer
bill was under consideration in
the house of representatives, the
principal attack against it and its
supporters was led by Hon. Clyde
Shropshire. The fight grew so
bitter that Mr.. ]. D. McAllster,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, was driven from the floor
of the house and forced to a seat
in the galleries. Last week a batch
Of anti.liquor bills, as far reaching
at this time as the custer bill was
then, found their way to the
clerks table for introduction.
They were the product of Mr..
McAlister'g work, He approved
them as they were drawn. Every
one Of them bears the name OF
Hon. Clyde Shropshire, now the
speaker Of the house
The bills do not rest wholly un'
on Mr.. Shropshire's shoulders,
because a number Of other repre-
sentatiyes signed them,

Only screen her porch,
We've raked our trash,
And corraled the cans;
Destroyed all old bottles,
Rags and pans.

If our city fathers,
Will clean the bitches.

ALL TO ME-!

Inability to understand what an
other person had said was commonly
expressed, not so very long ago, by
use of the phrase, at was all Choc-
taw to mel" Choctaw may be a Ian
guage as mysterious now as formerly
to millions of people, but a large per-
centage of the millions who are ig-
norant of it have become enlightened
enough in these days to appreciate
the fact that many things which they
do not understand may not be wholly
without merit. English must have
sounded very strange to Mrs. Anna
Albert of Oklahoma at one time, or
when she was a Choctaw maid. She
not only speaks it now, however, but
the other night, in Boston, says the
Christian Science Monitor, she sang
1t at a concert, very clearly and very
sweetly. No doubt a New England
college woman would do as well in
Choctaw, if she were to study it as
hard as the Choctaw girl studied Eng
lish at Carlisle.
