the opinion the court overlooked por-
tions of the record which were decis-
i've Of this controversy, and further
overlooked material and controlling
decisions Of the court, and others and
that the opinion was in conflict with
decisions to which the attention of the
court had formerly been called.
Attention Of the supreme court was
called in Franklin's petition to the
rule relative to the setting aside or
judgment of the trial court. ct will
be remembered that the case had been
tried in Carter county courts prior to
its trial in the supreme ,ourt and that
the local court had decided in Frank
Inns favor). In his petition. Franklin
stated that the rule is well settled
that in an equitable action the judg.
ment of the trial court will not be set
aside unless it is clearly against the
weight Of evidence, and insisted that
such was not the case in the matter
tried before the court, and further in
sisted that the trial courts findings
were abundantly supported by the
testimony. Reference was made in
the petition 10 material portions Of the
evidence. which. stated Franklin, clear.
ly established by preponderance
thereof authority which the agent had
to sell the option and not simp'' TO
find purchaser for it.
No Written Authority Required
Franklin further maintained in his
petition that with reference to the
brief filed in support of the petition
for rehearing it is clearly established
that the authority of an agent such as
created in the man with whom Frank.
lin dealt. is not required by any sec
tion of the statute OF frauds of Okla.
homa, to he in writing.
Optional Leases
1t was further alleged in the
petition that the court had overlooked
the vital distinction between "or" and
"unless" leases as established by de-
cisions of the Oklahoma court, and in
| this connection the defendant in error
further alleged that the "unless" lease
as distinguished from the cor" lease
has been adjudged in class to itself
by long line OF decisions OF the court
and decisions Of the Federal court for
the eastern district of Oklahoma, and
has by reason Of such decisions be
como rule of property in this state
| BY a long line OF decisions OF the
court, further stated Franklin, begin
ming shortly after statehood and al
n time when the oil industry OF the
state was in its infancy, an unless
lease has been defined as an option.
The defendant in error further stat
ed that an option vests no title in the
property until the option Is exercised
meaning in case of an "unless" lease
the drilling upon the land under tn,
terms OF the lease. and further showed
hat under such a lease as the one in
volved in the case. possession OF thu
land is at all times In the land ownel
until such time as the lessee exer
cises his option by going into posses
sion for exploration purposes.

MEASLES AND MOSQUITOES

DR.. Royal S. Copeland, commits
sioner of health for the city OF New
York, makes the fiat assertion that
measles can be completely wiped out
in this country in forty-eight hours.
In the same breath we are authorita-
lively advised that the pestilent mos
quito cannot fly more than one thou
sand feet and live.
What a reflection on the United
States government if these assertions
be correct, and there is no reason
to doubt them. The one great nee
essary step, namely, passing this in
formation under government author
ity directly to the people, is ignored.
Consequently, measles still carry
death and suffering to the young, and
mosquitoes spread their poison over
almost every inch of the United
States.
II may be possible for the press,
unaided by the government, TO bring
some relief, though lack of unified
action undoubtedly must end in fail
ure.
If the mosquito cannot fly more
than one thousand feet, then every
householder has it within his power
to establish for himself at least a
mosquito zone. Clean up for one
thousand feet. See that old bottles
and tin cans containing water are de
stroyed or emptied, that cesspools
are kept closely sealed, that house
cutters are kept clear. Sprinkle sus
pected spots with kerosene, the co
operation of every citizen.
i For measles DIR. Copeland's recipe
is even more simple. Keep the pa
tient absolutely isolated for forty
eight hours. How easy it would b
for the government TO lay down Drac
tical rules to destroy these evils ant
to enlist the people in a united cam
paign to that end, asking In plainly
signed advertising under the sigma
ture of the president of the Unite'
States, if necessary. the cooperation
of every citizen.
If the gentlemen, now so busy f1irt
ing for the vote, would press thol
, ough legislation of this character
perhaps they might stand a bette
chance than they will by rolling tn
pork barrel.
