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.

Mrs. J. M. 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
, ' .
There 8 an Odor Of death in the flowers'
That droop in this, chaplet of mine,
Believe me, in sunnier hours
They breathed an aroma divine
And so I shall wear them forever.
