A. G Watchmaker 228 NORTH SECOND ST. CUT IT OUT. Section 24 of the enabling act says "That said state shall never enact any law restricting or abridging the right of suffrage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Section two of the enabling act, designating qualified electors, says "That all male persons over the age o ftwenty-one years, who are citizens of the United States, or who are members of any Indian nation or tribe in said Indian Territory and Oklahoma, and who have resided within the limits of said proposed state for at least six months next preceding the election, are hereby authorized to vote for and choose delegates." This plainly shows the attitude of the administration and the president on the question of suffrage. In direct violation of these provisions of the enabling act the concluding paragraph of the suffrage section o fthe constitution as given to the press, says: "Section 2—The legislature may make additional limitations on the right of suffrage and may add additional disabilities thereto, but in no event shall the leg slature change the qualifications or disabilities herein mentioned." It this means anything, and it does, it means a direct threat on the part of the Democrats who have so shamefully gerrymandred the state in legislative districts, to steal the first legislature. Then make the rape of Oklahoma complete by passing a law disfranchising the negroes of the state because they will vote the Republican ticket. By this means they hope to add Oklahoma to the Solid South. Unless this section of the constitution is eliminated every negro in the two territories, should and will vote against the constitution, and in the battle for his civil rights he will have the support of every fair minded man. The Phoenix does not believe in the social equality of the races, but it does believe in giving to every man of every race the civil liberty and privileges guaranteed him by the constitution of the United States. CUT IT OUT.—Phoenix. Most of the above article is good, but Doug could not keep from showing his hatred to the negro by bringing the social equality scare into the article. That is a relic of Doug's platform. There is no such thing as social equality in the sense Doug puts it. All white people do not associate together nor do negroes. If Doug means social commingling, then we say make your white fellows who hunt up black women to associate with just keep on their own side and there won't be any occasion for such as Doug's editorial.

STAND ON SAME PLATFORM Tillman, a Democratic Senator, in His Speech at Hinton Theater, Muskogee, Oct. 19, 1906, Said He Endorsed DOUGLAS' PLATFORM Political Platform of C. B. DOUGLAS, Editor of Muskogee Phoenix ..Clipped from Phoenix of September 25, 1906. The resolutions were written by C. B. Douglas, himself. We, the members of the Republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District, declare as follows: Whereas, there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and Whereas, the Republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen, and still stands for that policy. Thebefore, be it resolved by this association that the Republican party of the Third Congressional District is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE COACHES and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which will have equal facilities and comforts to those furnished for other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of Negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of the other races. On this declaration of principles all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B.

From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised, Out of her vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that may help your ease. Her advice is free and always helpful. Ask Mrs. Pinkham’s Advicc~A Woman Best Understands a Woman’s Ils. A large proportion of the operations performed in our hospitals are upon women and girls for some organic trouble, trouble, Why should this be the case ? Because they have neglected them- Selves, as every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in those dragging sensations, pains at left or right of abdomen, backaches, nervous exhaustion, in- flammwation, ulceration, displace- ments, and other organic weaknesses, Allof these symptoms are indica- tions of an unhealthy condition of the female system and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an opera- tion—but remember that Lydia EB, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, has saved hundreds of women from surgical operations, Lydia E, «Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compounds has cured more cases of feminine ills than any other one remedy. Such letters as thefollowing are constantly being received by Mrs. Pinkham to prove our claims. Mrs. ©. A. Rockwood, teacher of Parliamentary Law, of 58 Free St., Fredonia, N. Y., writes: hag ate T suffered with female trouble, Tt was decided tit an operation was neces: sary, and although [ submitted to a scrious operation my suiferings continued, until Lydia EB. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended and it proved a marvelous remedy, so quickly did it restore my health, T cannot thank you sulliciently for the good it has done me.” Miss Margaret Tierney, of No. 328 W. 25th Street, New York, writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham:— “When only eighteen years of age our physician decided that ‘an operation was necessary to perinit of my womanly organs performing their natural functions.

T., AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER E D. NICKENS, Advertising Manager. For Governor of the State of Oklahoma, Hon. John D. Benedict, of Muskogee, I. T. REPUBLICAN TICKET. Mayor—T. H. Martin. Recorder—J. B. Campbell. City Attorney—W. J. Sullivan. Tax Collector—W. A. Downing. Tax Assessor—M. L. Bragdon. City Marshal—Chas. Kimsey. Sereet Commissioner—W. H. Harper. Aldermen. FirstWard—L. E. Prall and Ed. Alley. Second Ward—Henry Vogel and W. F. Shuey. Third ward—Dr. Stickle and J. A. Klick. Fourth Ward—H P. Snowalter and Harry D. Levy. The above is the ticket. Vote her straight, boys, from top to bottom. It's first class and deserves the support of all good citizens. The good people of the town, white, black and red, met in the Republican convention and nominated elected on April 2. 50,000 negro voters of the new state will cast their ballots against the misfit called a constitution, and will not vote for a single state or county officer. Walter Downing has been selected by the Republican party to make the race for tax collector. He has held the office for one year and has made a splendid officer. His books are in first class condition. He has made more collections to date than any collector the city ever had. He has been courteous to all the people and deserves to be re-elected. The slurs cast at him by the Democracy really amount to nothing. Downing will receive the solid vote of the Republican party, and that means his triumphant election to succeed himself. The Democrats cannot, with all their deceit and prejudice, change one vote from this honest, upright, faithful Republican official. J. B. Campbell, the Republican nominee for recorder, is an old timer and a good Republican. His nomination is equivalent to an election, as the rank and file of the party will support him loyally. He has served one term and has given the people a clean administration. He has been fair to all, regardless of race, a color or creed. The books of hi soffice re O. K. He has for many years fought the battles of the party when not a candid date, and the boys in the trenches will see that he is given an overwhelming majority on the 2nd of April. The verdict will be "Well done, good and --- faithful servant. Continue in the service of the grand old party." He won last year when the Democracy were in the saddle. Why not this year, when the Reppublicans have the best end of the stick. A strong pull, and all together, and the victory is ours. Chas. Kimsey, the Republican nominee for marshal, is the very best man for the place that the city can afford. He has made a splendid marshal and the best man that the city ever had for that position. He has done his duty faithfully and well. He is today one of the most popular men in town and as a Republican he has no superiors and but few equals. He deserves the solid vote of every Republican and every good citizen. He has made good. He went into office making no promises to anyone, and will be hands tied. The city has been protected under his administration, which has been a clean one in every particular. He will continue to give us, regardless of politics, a square deal. He will be the marshal of all the people, and will do in the future what he has done in the past, and that is gone us the very best administration the city has ever had. The resignation of one man does not hurt his admin'stration. He is stronger today than ever, and the Republican party is stronger than ever, as we have a united party to make the fight in the campaign. He is a sure winner, and his majority this time will be greater than last year. ```markdown ``` STUDY LAW AT HOME Prepare for success at the bar, in business or public life, by mail, in the ORIGINAL SCHOOL Founded in 1880.

W. H. TWINE, EDITOR A British sailor who coughed when silence was ordered was dropped several grades. A cough-drop, so to speak. The report that Japan consumed 500 tons of whale meat every month may be true, but it looks like a fish story at this distance. Russia claims to be in worse condition than it was a year ago, although at that time it thought it was holding the world's record. An Iowa wife beater who was lynched would have inherited $150,000 in a few days. He beat out his inheritance by a very small margin. Great Britain will have some difficulty in finding employment for its lords, if the project to abandon the upper house meets with any favor. Somehow England does not seem to be at all elated over the fact that its representative in Jamaica put an entire squadron of American warships to flight. It may be true, as that floating paragraph asserts, that King Edward eats six square meals a day, but what's the use of being a king if you can't eat all you want to? The man who claims to catch the most fish, says Grover Cleveland, is not necessarily the truest sportsman. No, but he is the biggest liar, which is something. An Oklahoma editor says there are two ways of spending a dollar. If he ever gets outside his native balliwick he will find more ways than that. We know of at least three. A Kentucky woman who is suing her husband for divorce on the charge of irregular habits claims he has been drunk constantly for 13 years. Anything irregular in that? Austrian exporters claim that the Chinese pay their bills more promptly than the Japanese. Is that to be taken as evidence that the Japanese are the more civilized of the two? The newest thing in vests, as shown at the convention of the National Custom Cutters' association in Chicago, buttons down the back. Fellow-citizens, shall we stand for this? Scientists tell us that when the thermometer is down to zero there is still considerable heat present. It must be in the breast of the scientist who is looking at the thermometer. It is announced that Edison intends to devote the rest of his life to amusement. Perhaps. It is like to be, however, the same sort of amusement that has always appealed to Edison—work. It is easier to tell the truth than to tell a lie, according to Johnny Rockefeller. Of course it is, when you have plenty of money. Only the poor have to slide around the corners of the truth. The chief health officer of New Haven has commanded people to stop kissing until the epidemic of grip is over. Notwithstanding, it is said the disease continues to rage among the young folks with the utmost ferocity. Concerning the story about the good humor of the kaiser when hit by a snowball it may suggest the reflection that the Berlin boys have a delicate judgment of the effect of a favorable election on the imperial temper. One of the most interesting little charities is that of a Yorkshire (England) stationmaster, who every week of his life makes a toy railway engine. At the end of the year he sends the lot to a hospital for the use of the boys in the institution.

Of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement in any field of human effort. Age of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Acts are all of the utmost value and in questions of life whose remedy is desired it should be remembered of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syru which has met with the approval of the most eminent practice, because it is a remedy of This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs—and has attained to worldwide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. Simple Advice Which May Prove of Untold Value. At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weakness and Urinary trouble, the following simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle. This is said to force the Kidneys to filter the sour acids and poisons from the blood, overcoming the worst cases of Rheumatism. Pine 200 Years Old. Charles H. Lord of Dunbarton, N. H., recently cut a large pine tree on his farm which, from the rings, was 200 years old. The tree was 134 feet tall, measured five feet four inches on the stump, and at the height of 60 feet measured three feet in diameter.

Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer- ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was JOHN H. BURKE fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating were gone. I have been in good health ever since."
