The man who has a wife.,and family
and who refuses to take the home
paper because he hasn't time to read
it has an extremely warped and sel-
fish disposition and needs making
over badly.
This has been the most disastrous
season for corn "nubbins" since Ok-
lahoma was opened to settlement.
Every nubbin is having a tremen-
dous struggle to prevent itself from
growing into a smashing big ear of
corn.
"
Rockefeller and
Roovevelt In Accord.
Tbo-e republicans who fondly be-
lieved that the Administration is re-
lentlessly prosecuting tbt trusts, wili
be surprised to learn that Attorney ^,r C D. Cirter, Secretary Denmcr
A clerk in a New York broker's
cilice made a bid on $5,800,000 >of tbe
recent issue of Panama bonds and got
them, Hesoldthemat a profit of
$27,024 and bandied the deal without
a dollar of his own ruoncy. That fellow
is liable to become a ni llionaire.
John D. Rockefeller in remitting
his dollar to the Republican Congress-
ional Committee will no doubt de-
clare that, ",f it is time for all good
men to come to the relief of tne par-
ty" and secretly advise Chairman
Jim Sherman to send his collector to
Rogers for the usual check.
The women will never get over be-
ing indignant because widows "han-
dle" men so easily, and marry with so
little difficulty. Widows "handle"
men because they know them. A
woman who has passed through the
siege with one man knows another
man pretty well, and if a man fools
around her much she will land bim
as a husband if she wants him.
Fiom the meager reports of the
doings of the Panama Commission
most of them, especially our $10,000
a year secretary seem to spend their
tune on trips to and from Panama on
the government ships where every-
thing is furnished free by the tax
payers. This makes tbe wai er fly, if
not the dirt, and is cheaper than liv-
ing on •- hore.
Indians Are Democrats.
The following communication will
refuti certain false statements the
republicans are spreading broadcast.
Executive Office, Choctaw Nation,
Green McCurtain Principal Chief
Vinta, f. T.. Aug. 2, 11106.
FARMERS!
General Moody has decided not to
press for any jail penalty against
John D. Rockefeller and other Stan
dard Oil officials. "Wat! Street,"
said a New Journal, "legarded the
developments in connection w.th the
Standard Oil investigation in Oh o
by the Federal Government as a
moral victory tor the trust. The
fact was pointed to joyfully as evi
dence that the Roosevelt Adminis-
tration an.l the trusts were now in
accord and that occurrences in the
ear future will demonstrate clearly
tba* tbe two have reached a
thorough understanding." It is said
that Rockefeller has consented to
pay a line to save the faces of Attor-
ney Ger.eral Moody and the president
if that is found to be necessary for
political purposes. In tbe mean time
the Republican campaign fund will
not sulTe for lack of a very generous
contribution from the trust'magnate.
This would indicate that tbe dollar
subscription dodge is merely a fake
to fool voters into believing that the
trusts are not subscribing with their
usual liberality.

Hear Charlie:
Your letter of even date in which
you state that the report is being cir-
culated that I have cast my lot with
the republican party, and asking for
a definite expression from me, is be-
fore me.
Replying to same, I have to say
that this is without any foundation
whatever, and was doubtless circula-
ted for the purpose of misleading my
people.
In view of the treatment receHed
by the Choctaws and Chickasaws
at the hands of Republican adminis-
trations, I can not comprehend how
any Indian can-conscientlou-ly suport
the Republican par^y.
I am a democrat and in the comint'
content and will give the Democratic
party my earnest support. At some
future time I will give my reasons
why an Indian should be a democra t.
Yours Truly,
Green McCurtain.

The above thrust at the program
above referred to is the first time I
have seen such in print, but not the
first I have observed the existence of
the fact. The so called G A. R. re-
union as of yore, seem to be a thing of
the past. Office |seeking and money
grafting appears to be tbe moving
spirit therein.
The genuine old soldiers reunion
and good sociable chat of old times,

fool things, to make monev out of the

The Freakish Second.
Oklahoma City, Okla , Aug. 7—The
•'Goose-neck" (second) Oklahoma
congressional district, comprising the
counties of Oklahoma, Canadian
Blaine, Caddo, Custer, Dewey, Day.
Woodward, and Beaver is perhaps
the most unique to which atten-
tion may be called in the United
States.
This district extends across a coun-
try 350 miles in length, and at no
place more than 30 to 40 In width.
Hence the appellation of "goose-
neck." In the Beaver county portion
of the district it is bounded by four
states—Kans .= Colorado, New Mexi-
co and Texas. The length of tbe
district is within fifty miles of the
distance from Oklahoma City to
Kansas City—think of it! It is al-
most two thirds of the distance from
here to St. Louis and twice as far as
from here to Dallas and Ft. Worth,
Texas. Wichita, Kansas, is only
about 105 miles from Oklahoma City,
and that far beyond the northern
border of the territory, The length
of the district is two thirds of the
distance east and west across the
entire state of Oklahoma, and lacks
only a f^ew miles of being equal to
tbe distance across 11 irth and south.
Official Map Filed.
Recorder E. N. Yates Is Now Ready to
Do Business.
Pawhuska, Okla., Aug. 6—At 4 p.
m today the official map of the city
Pawhuska, Okla., was filed in the of-
fice of Judge E N. Yates, recorder
for the Osage Indina recording dis-
trict, an office created by an act of
the last congress; by this simple act
on the part of the Indian agent here,
unaccompanied by brass bands or
celebrations, the city of Pawhuska,
the capital of the Osage Nation,
passed into the hands of the newly
elected officials, and severed tbe ties
that have prevailed since the move-
m nt cf the Osages to this place in
Kansas.

That is a good bluff Jim Sherman is

pect to be investigated, if not prose-

Youngsters' Hard Luck.
At Crescent O. T., recently two lit-
tle boys while driving home the cows
found a shot sack under a tree con-
taining 212 25 cent pieces. The boys
were elated and were about to de-
clare the old proverb that "Money
grows on bushes," a myth and a delu-
sion when they were told the coins
were counterfeit. Now the United
States authorities are trying to find
where the band of counterfeiters are
operating.
