"It takes wind to run newspap-

her to neglect to send in 15 cents
to the editor. Money is a corrup-
ting thing. The editor knows it
and what lie wants is your heart-
felt tlnnks. Then he can thank
the printers and they can thank
the grocers.
"Don't worry about the editor.
He has a charier from the state
to act as a doormat for the com-
munity. He'll get the paper out
somehow; and fctai'd up for you
when you run for office aud lie

second marriage. He'll get along.
The Lord only knows how but

BUI KINKLE AND ROBNETT
Each Come in for a Roast Thinks Fed
cral Court cant Try Warrant Cases
Chief Marshell Ben II Colbert j
returned Monday from Washing-1
ton where he was summoned in re-1
gard to the recent charge of being
connected with the"great warrant
fraud upon which he was indicted
by the Ardmore grand jury at an
instance yf Ardmore politicians
for the past three years have used
every known effort to oust and
supplant him.
Even C. O. Bunu assistant pro-
secuting attorney who was pre-
sumable with the grand jury at the
time the indictments were found
had his application in Washington
about the time return of the in-
dictment was made.
Old John Hinkle and old "set
fast" upon the body politic who
has bung over the pie counter fcr
a time since the beginning of which
the "mind of man runneth not to
the contray"' was there with his
suppliant appeal for promotion to
this mnch sought for office of high
marshall.
Tom Robtiett a carpet bagger
of the commonest type who nosed
around until for shear of stia ne
his party gave him a job as U. S.
Commissioner was upon his knees
to the graces of the president
"wanting Colbert's place."
Have tuey got it? Did they suc
ceed by their heinous efforts to
wrest this high place from the Iu-
dian? "Nit" They are like unto
the fice that beys at moon. They
are anxious euough but they can't
reach it.
Colbert's job is as safe as the
brass buttons upon the scissortail
of Uncle Sam with his great na
tion to protect them. He has
every possible assurance that he
will not be removed nor even sus
pended until a jurv of his country ;
says that he is guilty of the crimes
with which he is charged"
It has been thrust at him that
it was never the desire ot the
officers of the law to apprehend
Purdom the renegade. Upon the
same reason we might say that an
indictment could 'e returned
against him on small grounds by
an Ardmore grand jury upon the
recommendation of an ever-present
assistant prosecuting attorney who
wanted his job.
The final outcome ot this matter
will be that Bunt; Robnett Hinkle
and the rest of these political
leeches will only be sorry that real
grounds for these indictments did
not exsist.
The opinion is freely expressed
by those in the better position to
know that in the cases against
Governor's Johnson and Mosley
Mansfield. McMurray & Cornish
wherein they are charged with de-
frauding the Chickasaw Nation
out of funds the United States
courts are without jurisdiction.
It is beleived also that these
pat ties will not avail themselves of
auy advantages of technicalities
but if the U S Court claims jur
isdiction and assuai the right to
try them they w ill iu all probab
ilities go to trial on the merits of
their cases.

SUCCESSFUL f.!USIGALE
Given by Miss Nays Goltra at th
Christian Church
The musical given by Miss May
Gollra with Miss Yera La Quay as
violin st at the Christian church
laet evening was one of those spec-
ially high class affairs which are
always a satisfaction and pleasure
to the music lovers of a city but
unfortunately which are not
sufficiently appreciated by the
amusement going public.
- The program was one of excep-
tional merit. Miss Goltra at the
piano demonstrated her wonderful
power over that instrument. Her
melody and her techicque were a
both a delight to the ear. The sel-
ection of Misses Greek au 1 Fergu
son puples of Miss Goltra was a
rendition and was an added de-
monstration of the ability of Mtss
Goltra to impart her inimical
power to her pupils.
As a violinist Miss La Quay i9
remarkable' Her skill aiU per'
feet control of the violin was
thoughly enjoyed by the audience
and she was forced to respond to
repeat encores.
The vocal selection by R. C.
Scoffern was one of the best cum-
bers on the prog'am the only dis-
satisfying fettuie being that Mr
Scoffern declined to respond to a
very vigorous encore thus disap-
pointing the added pleasure of the
audience
It is a credit to any city to have
such musical artisit- as were repre-
sented at this entertainment and
while the attendance was fairly
good this class of work should be
more thoroughly appreciated.
HAD MET HER SOMEWHERE.
A minister's wife a doctor's wife
and a traveling man's were com-
paring their husbands oni day and
trying to determine whose husband
was the most forgetful. The min-
ister's wife thought her hubby took
the bun because he invariably for-
got to take his nates tochnrch with
him; the doctor's wife sniffed at
this and said it was nothing com-
pa ied to her husband who left his
horse in front of a patient 's house
and walked home a distacne of 12
blocks. "I guess my man takes
the prize" said the traveling man's
wife. "Last night he came home
from a two week's trip aud I met
him at the depot and he patted me
on the cheek and said "I believe
I have seeu you befo e what's
your name?
