' Fifth District Scott Ferris, of Law-ton. of of of The defendants in the celebrated Muskogee town lot case have been given their liberty and are free from further molestation but have not been proven innocent. That, we believe, is a fair, accurate statement of the Mar shall decision. The court's decision forbade the gov ernment from presenting evidence re lating to overt acts committed after the government patents to the lots in question had been Issued, and further held that the statute of limitations be gan to run against the offense from that date. As the statute of limita tions in such cases is only three years, and as the preponderant majority of the evidence against the accused was based on overt acts prior to the issue of patents, the government found it self unable to proceed. Thus on a technicality the defend ants escape trial. Those statements that defendants were exonerated from result; not that any one of the de fendants might be convicted, but that the people of the state might be en abled to Judge from the presented evi dence whether or not there was just grounds for the prosecution. As the case now culminates nothing is proven. The champions and friends of the defendants will continue to in sist that the prosecution was personal persecution, while the enemies of the defendants wiU insist with equal ve hemence that guilty men .with wealth and influence circumvented the law. While the greater number of impartial citizens must ever remain uncertain, their uncertainty falling, inevitably, as suspicion against, every man in dicted. However the governor , and his friends will do well to accept the re sult on Its merits without claiming vindication, for even the most unso phisticated understand that escaping the penalty of a crime because the1 statute of limitation forbids 'prosecu tion is not vindication.

O- "The only practical method for the republicans, divided as they are In Oklahoma and throughout the rest of the nation, is to enlarge on apparent flaws in democratic rule In order to keep the minds of insurgents from the issues between the factions." said Sen ator R. M. Roddie of Ada. "When our platform approved of the acts of Has kell administration It approved of the benefit-lent provisions of our constitu tion and of practically every doctrine of Roosevelt's new nationalism; yet the standpat element of the party op poses Haskellism and therefore Roose veltism. Every good principle the Harris machine is fighting in Okla homa will be involved, without a doubt in the campaign of 1912, and Harris and McNeal, If they want to be regular then, will have to reverse their belig- gerent policy of today. The prospect of a dilemma of that kind is one of the most encouraging . things of this camnaisn to a democrat. Because of the manifold difficulties that Governor Haskell has encountered and because of the many attacks on his character, the Harris machine 'has coined the word "Haskellism" to blind the eyes of the fair-minded rang and file of the republican party to the greater issues of the contest" o- INSUMC02S5 REPORT JUST BIDE PUBLIC Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 1.

That the year 1909 on the whole was not a pros perous one for foreign fire Insurance companies, so far as their Oklahoma business is concerned, is shown by the report of Insurance Commissioner Milas Lasater covering the business of fire companies In the state during that period. The average rate of loss, to premium receipts of such companies was 62.2 per cent. Add to that the 2 per cent tax on premium receipts, the entrance and other fees, and an aver age expense account of 35 per cent of premium receipts, and it is shown con clusively that the companies had lit tle left for profit on their Oklahoma business. The domestic stock com panies fared somewhat better, the three reporting showing a loss ratio of 55 per cent. The total gross risks ttritten in Ok lahoma -tiy foreign and domestic fire and hail companies was $255,361,877.24 in 1909, as against $265,154,345 in 1908, or a decrease of $9,792,477 in gross risks written. The ne premiums re ceived from all the companies show an increase from $2,889,059.78 in 1908 to $3,468,075.49 in 1909, while the net losses paid also show an Increase from $1,736,146.61 in 1908 to $1,9S3.727.S4'.
