y, ''' -, THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL; PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1908. ALFALFA OKLAHOMA CITT, Nov. Mr. II Murray has Just secured ths .3, I I 000 names -necessary to a petl J tlon, whereby i the Initiative ' measure regarding- the sale of all public school lands may be presented to , the people, v.-. . ... - ' , This is only one of "Alfalfa Bill's" many evidences of enterprise and hus tle. One 0 the .paramount plants of . the Democratic platform In the cam paign of last year, when the questions of the adoption of the state constitution and the election of state officers were the issue, was that declaring the party to be In favor of the sale of the state schojl lands and against a system of tenantry, but - the plank did not give any aJvi. j as to the date of sale. The school lands, comprising 2,050,000 acres, are situated on the side of the state .which war originally Oklahoma terri tory, and from that side of the' state - about half of the members of the legis lature were elected. Many of them were given the toga of office because of their promise to advocate a bill pro viding for the sale of the schools lands. The lest-ee vote was about 25,000, and It represented a population of about 66,000. Some of the lessees had held their 'and a for years and made exten sive improvements upon them as well as Increasing their value through culU vatlon. The first state legislature had its -hands full of other things and failed to enact a law providing for the sale of the school lands. This incensed a large percentage of the . voting lessees and likewise many of their land-owning voting neighbors. M. he legislature was overwhelmingly Democratic and had waded into deep water, or rather Into a net from which extraction was a pus sle. Lessees called on the governor and made their demands. The governor was their friend. Be it said 40 Governor Haskell's credit that in no instance as a public official has he shown himself other than the friend of the common people. William H. Murray, speaker of the lower house of the legislature and president of the constitutional con vention, was also the lessees' friend. Btate Senator J. Elmer Thomas of Law ton was another, and there were dozens of otters in officialdom. The governor and his fellow officers callec a meeting of the lessees and, un der provision of the initiative and ref erendum law, that had been recently enacted, a law providing: for the sale of the lands was Initiated. Mr-Murray was the author of the initiative and referendum measure and here he found his first opportunity to place It In ac tive operation. The Taw requires 23,000 names to be placed on a petition In or der that an Initiated measure may by the secretary of state be placed before the people as a proposition for election. Mr. Murray set himself about the task of securing the signatures of the re quired number of petitioners; ha spent a good part of the summer at it, and was successful. The Initiated measure provides for the sale of all the state school lands. All bills considered by the legislature pro vided for the sale only of indemnity anu .college lands. For the reason that even many of the lessees themselves do not want 80,000,000 worth oflands f laced upon the market at onreand hits destroy at once and for all the last vestige of landed heritage of the school children, this and future gener ations, manv lessees are opposed to the initiated measure. wSeahrrir s S6rna!or'ftllov vstafforS' r.'fn! nwf?Lm-J ? u V.-M.'?f .th5 Praofye8s?rItTbbott.Prm:mWR the faculty of the Central State normal, is secretary.

You see It es pecially at the time of a by-election. It la as the friend of woman first and foremost that the Woman's Social and ; Political union enters $he field there. And wlthoutyery much explanation the women In the constituency, and espe cially the working women, seem to rec ognize this at once.

"Election candidates are far too occupied with the men, whose votes they' want to get, to have any time to spare In remembering that there are women in the world who have their special wrongs to be redressed.

Filloon of The Dalles ha received from a friend at Grants Pass) a poem of the late Sam : L. Simpson which the sender says was written at his (or her) house, and has never bees published. It is as follows; FOREVER. The emples of youth are decaying In Beulah, the beautiful vale, And my life has been wearily straying Away from its beautiful pale. Where the waters of Marah are sobbing The sorrow,, of desolate years The sorrow and tremulous throbbing Of hopes that have darkened to tears. Forever, forever, forever. The dolorous song of the river, v j The wall of tne river of tears. ; In Beulah, a ring-belted river, . ! That danced In a garland of pearl, ' First sang the refrain of forever With many a wimple and swirl. And the flag-flowers bent in the rushes. For a" touch of the fanciful stream. And the roses In redolent blushes Were aflame with the magical dream. Forever, forever, forever. Was the song of the ring-belted river, The refrain of - a beautiful theme. And love, with red lips, in the pauses Of passion took up tha refrain. And the birds, in their raptuous clause Of-ailene, to- listen were fain; But the leaves in a silvery quiver Of mystery whispered the breese That a rainbow of crimson- would eve Rekindle the blossom " of ease. Forever, forever, forever, Was the song of the jubilant river. In odorous haunts of the bees. Where the mountains. In desolate places Are kneeling, bare-kneed. In the sand. And my Sphinxes, with mystical faces. . Ars gasiiia y ravery grana . ..,, The garlands I twined by the river Are fillets of flame .on my brow, And the1 crystalline chime of forever Is the dirge of Elysium now. Forever, forever, forever. Aias. ior me musical river . That sang me the treacherous vow. The stars,' on their. old eminences, bu? May weave unmorteies or ngnt. my soul, in its vapor senses, Is crowned with the sorrow of night I And tleJceans may chant they fol- BuFMf 2535 And gloomy, unsyllabled run. Borever, forever, forever, I a lonesome refrain, Ht they sever A soul from the loves of Its Junev , ' .
