One provision of the bill prohibits the sale of liquors in the Indian Territory for ten ycars. On the question of the right of franchise being limited to either sex the bill IS silent. Hon. A. n. Copsey of 'Vester- ville , was a city visitor Saturday on a return trip from Lincolu , where t1e had been to participate in the scat drawing in the honse. 'rhe fonner custom of arrainging the seats in the orderofregistrat- ion to the members of the legislature - lature was changed to the plan of drawing , Unde ! ' the old plan it was charged that a few members - bers near the capital would rusb in and register and thus secur the choice seatH. 'I'he lottery plan did not prove uny more satisfactor.y than the old plan.

Had thc , republican legislature done their work satisfactory to the corporations would they have not lent their assistance to leep the rep\1blicans in power in the the state ?

If we remember corl'ect1) . the scheme for county di \ ' siou failed the last time it was submitted by about 2,600'ote ! > . The majority of the taxpayers have said time and again by their votes that they do not want the county di- vid d , and a renewed agitation of the question is calculated to do harm and unsettle \'alues. Everyone who does not believe it for the best interests of the people - ple of the county should refuse to lend encouragement by contributing - I I ing to the fund or signing a petition - tion calling for a vote. No vote can be ordered unless a majority of a11 the voters of last election petition that an election be called for that purpose. Had the people - ple never had an opportunity to vote on the question the right by petition should not be denied but since they have so emphatically expressed their opposition to it a further agitation should not be sanctioned or el1couraged by signing - ing a petition. - .
