court and all expenditures are made and passed upon by the county judge, and all accounts paid by warrants drawn by the county clerk, as other county matters are paid. At present the district has no funds on hand, only small amount ad- vanced by the present collector of taxes out of this years funds. From what we can learn there was only a small amount of the com mutation tax collected as compared with former years and consequently the revenue from that source has been limited.
 We found the records in the county clerks office complete and correct and we, your commissioners return thanks to the clerk, E. W. King, for aid, assistance and courte- sy rendered us during our labors, all of which is respectfully sub mitted.

MISS RoBERTsoN's WAY

Alice Nj. Robertson, the Oklaho- ma congresswoman, has disposed Of matter of patronage Tn a way that shows that she possesses the ability to get out of an annoying situation. She has a long list of men who were applicants for the Muskogee postoffice. They were insistent in supplicating for favor, and in order to end the situation and get relief she announces that she will recommend a woman. She says she ran the postoffice herself for eight years and she knows a woman can do it. She did not ask the state chairman or any other pol itician about it, but did it, demon strating that she feels that she can get along without advice, especially when she does not need it. How ever, she says she does not intend to be an insurgent and in other matters of patronage she will go with the organization. She has given the politicians notice that she can be independent, or, as she puts it, "this is my own political pie"
 Though the male candidates for, that postoffice may feel that the proper sex to handle mail has been sighted, they must admit that wo- men sas citizens are entitled to a portion of the political rewards. They elected a woman and 1t IS natural that she should not neglect her sex. Politically it would be ill., advised, and woman who is enough of a politician to get to Congress doubtless knows that as well as any body. In appointing man as her secretary she aroused the criticism of some women. She has evened up that in the postmastership mat ter.-Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
