Kendall, slate commis-' that perhaps this is the key to what the "official" editor is driving What a wicked governor we have in Oklahoma! He has also "insulted" Tulsa, Muskogee, McAleslcr and several other points in the state by asking the attorney general to appear at those places before grand juries. It is truly awful to attempt to enforce the law. Gentlemen of the grand jury: If you should chance to be looking over the county records while here on duly and should run across that affidavit of Mr.

Johnson's, where he charged the county 25 cents per line for the personal tax list, when he is under written contract with the commissioners to print it for two and one-half cents per line, we would suggest that you just overlook it and pass it up. In view of the fact that Mr. is Ihe editor of the "official paper" of the county and is also a personal friend of Mr. McXabb's it would hardly be fair to interfere with a little graft like that. Just let it go and see if you can't find a whisky case against some poor Indian lo take its place.

-m- You would probably conclude from the editorials that are' Star from time to time that Sequoyah county the only community in the State which is infested with polrfu-al County Democrat. Ye Gods, NO! They are abroad in the land and we don't even start to have a monopoly on them. The point we make is that our local products are real top notchers and that the chief demagogue of all the Se (iU (jyah county clique has the hearty endorsement and the bought and paid for support of Ihe editor of the Sequoyah County Democrat. txt Gentlemen of the grand jury: In the name of, Mr. Johnson we apologize for having participated in calling you, but now that you are here won't you kindly make inquiry as to who burned negro school house No.

2C? The fact that it was a negro school house doesn't give anyone a right to burn it. Surely this is a queer old world. A Sallisaw matron at a social gathering a few evenings ago announced to her listening friends that her husband proposed three times before she accepted him. Now, just because a casual listener chanced to ask to whom the first two proposals were made the lady of the first part refuses lo speak, to the second ladv in the drama. A Sallisaw matrcjn whose home is noted for its happiness and freedom from the usual squalls incident to family life was asked for her recipe.

She said: "When my husband married me he took on added instead of curtailed responsibilities, therefore, after marriage I have figured that he is entitled to added instead of curtailed privileges. My experience is that most men arc human and that all men are subject to the fundamental rules of common sense. We did not make Ihe law and neither have we asked that it be enforced. But we only ask to be excused for calling attention to its existence. Gentlemen of the grand jury: In the of Mr.

Johnson we apologize for having asked you to convene, but now that you are here won't you please make inquiry as lo who killed Mrs. Silk? SENATOR OWEN FOR VICE PRESIDENT If the word that comes from Washington through the special correspondence of some of our daily papers is correct, and Senator Robert L. Owen will allow the use of his name as a candidate for Vice with Woodrow Wilson in the next campaign, it will meet with the instant approval rank and file of Oklahoma Democrats, and not a few stalwart Oklahoma Republicans, for while the people of this state are fully satisfied with the splendid performances df Senator Owen in his present position, yet all realize that it would be a high honor not only to him, but to the new state to have him chosen as the running mate of our peerless President. It is claimed to be no secret in Wash' ington that his selection would be highly pleasing to Mr. Wilson, and it is a general opinion that Senator Owen's name on the ticket would strength to party's appeal in IBB next election.

DWIGHT INDIANS DEFEAT WESTVILLE HIGHS Marble City, Dec. Last Saturday afternoon the Dwight Indian Training School team of Marble City defeated the Westville High School basket ball team at Westville, by a score of 12 to 8. The game was a fast and furious one. For the first half the score see-sawed slowly, both teams playing a defensive game. In the first part of the second half Westville took the lead and lead Dwight 8 to fi until the last five minutes, when the Indians, by a terrific spurt, swept their opponents off their feet and ended with a score of 12 to 8.
