There ought to be rational restrictions -

" The restrictions were rational at
the time the constitution was

made them rational at the time.-

True Reform.
\Ve are pleased to learn from
our exchanges that s ' ice the last

I headed by :1\lr. : Hoar of l\lassa-

I , - \ ' From the Shubert Citizen
ll , t , : < < \Ve were told by the opposition
to Frank Reavis during the late
.
campaign time and again , that
, . he was not a good lawyer even ,
J/ / 1 let alone a man with ability suit-
able for a district judge and that
. „ he was practically wit i h 0 u t
, clients. A glance at' the court
1
i
docket now in session at li'pJls .
City , shows not only Mr. : Rea vis'
standing as a lawYer with the
people , but also of the other law-
yen who were telling those
things. \Ve find ( that out of sixty
civil cases filed ? \ 1r. Reavis was
on one side of. thirty of them.
Just one half.
Francis Martin was connected
with fifteen. Just one fourth.
Ii' . E. Martin was connected
with three.
Falloon was lnected with
twcn t-th ree.
A. Weaver caught onto four-
teen.
J. E. Leyda's name appears in
five places.
It is also a fact that Reavis has
won more important cases this
court than has any other attorney
at the bar. How does the facts
agree with the yarns told by his
opposers ? .
Letter From Oklahoma .
\Vankomis , Oklahoma , Feb. 4 ,
PJ04.-Dear Edi tor-1 hinking.
na item from the Balmy South
might bc of interest to some of
your readers , while you are in
a terrible sleet and have . zero
weather , I will give you a sketch
of what I have seen since coming
to Oklahoma.
I arrived 'Vaukomis at eleven
o'clock , January 20th , and went
to a first class hotel and the next
morning it was raining but I was
.
directed to a livery stable and
about ) o'clock a. m. was in a
closed carriage and started on a
nine mile drive. I was driven
over some pretty country and saw
some fine looking wheat although
the farmers say it is nothing
compare with what it has been.
It is the winter feed for the farm-
ers stock but not many are feed-
ing here as the stock can fee ( !
themseh'es. Farming and all
kind of out door work can be done
with much comfort as the weather -
er is fine. Mercury : here ranges
from twenty to as high as sixty
above zero. Early mornings are
cold but noonday is almost like
summer , this is a fine country to
view and from what I can see of
thc products that are raised hcre.
Vegetables and fruit arc plentiful -
ful and of as good variety as I
ever ate anywhere.
The land here is one beautiful
stretch of praire , and not so
sandy as we had been told and
there is timber 15 miles southwest
of Enid , the county scat which is
a thriving city. It has a popula-
tion of about 12,000 six railroads ,
electric light plant and everything
that goes to make up an up-to-
elate city.
.
It is surprising what a , ' \.onder-
ful growth this country has made.
There are many fine improved
farms with "large bearing orch-
anIs. Altogether I think Okla-
