A joint wrecking party in
Wintield met with opposition
from the owners of the joint
and in the melee one of the
jointists and a woman were in-
jured. The jointist claims that
he was struck in the face with
a hatchet by a minister of
Winfield.
Mrs. Nation is in Chicago,
having heart to heart talks
with Mayor Harrison, and the
saloonists of the city by the
lake. If she gets too obstrep-
erous while in the windy city,
we are liable to wake up some
morning and find ourselves
without a Nation.
The Oklahoma legislature
visited the Alva Normal this
week with a view to being able
to intelligently act on the ap-
propriation asked for the pay-
ment of that building and for
the maintenance of the institu-
tion. The Alva Normal has
oeen a thorn in th; flesh of
more than one legislature, but
will probably be finally dispos-
ed of at this session. The
building of the Normal at Alva,
was rank folly, and the amount
expended showed gross incom-
petency to say the least, if not
absolute dishonesty, but it
looks as if the territory was in
a measure obligated to pay for
it, and what can't be cured must
be endured.
The Wellington Journal is usu-
ally precise and correct in every-
thing, but Monday of this week
it was still carrying Saturday's
forecast for Sunday. The Jour-
nal is as free from errors as any
paper that comes to our table,
but even it will occasionally al-
low them to creep in.
The Oklahoma Workman for
February, reports the death, on
December 27th of a member who
joined the order in May, 1900,
and bad paid but $8.40 to the
beneficiary fund. As bis bene-
ficiaries are to receive $2,000,
in his case at least fraternal in-
surance pays a big per cent on
the investment.
The state banks of Oklahoma
had in deposits in 1897 the sum
of 11,499,149.69 and in 1900 $3,-
918,622.12 or a gain of 162 per
cent, aud the per cent of gain
for cash, is even greater, rising
from 1743,756.09 to 12,340,250.03,
a gain of 215 per cent. The
National banks have made a
gain of $824,6*3.53 or a total of
68 per cent from 1899 to 1900,
their deposits in April, 1900 be-
ing $2,042,295.15, which sum
was probably one third larger
in December of the same year.
Oklahoma has not only made
an unprecedented gain in popu-
lation, alone, but in material
wealth as well, and is today one
of the most prosperous sections
on the face of the globe.
Fame is tickle and fleeting
and even a president of the
United States is soon forgotten.
Ponca City has a G. A. R. post
that the Courier 'advertises as
R. B. Hays post. We don't say
that brother Hornaday don't
remember R. B. Hayes, but we
rather imagine that some of the
boys in the office have either
forgotten him, or at least how
to spell his name.
Fred Harvey, the eating house
man, is dead. Mr. Harvey had
control of the Santa Fe dining
cars, and the Santa Fe eating
houses, and his name will be re-
vered by thousands of travel-
ers who have been cheered by
his appetizing and substantial
meals at the different eating
houses along the line, and they
will forget that they ever kick-
ed because the price was seven
ty-tive, and will only wish that
as good a caterer will succeed
him
The county seat bill comes up
in committee of the whole to-
morrow, and it is safe to say
that tile bill will be defeated.
Any measure that is against
majority rule is unsafe and
should meet with the just con-
demnation of all fair minded
men. The bill was introduced
at the instigation of certain
county seat towns that fear the
will of the majority, and its
supporters will be men who
care nothing for the rights of
the majority.
The red tape incident to the
election of president and vice
president of the United States
was completed Wednesday of
this week, when President pro-
tein Frye of the Senate, declar-
ed that William McKinley had
been elected president and
Theodore Roosevelt, vice-presi-
dent of the United States. The
ceremony of counting the elec-
toral votes, took place in repre-
sentative hall, before a joint
session at 1 o'clock, and the
method as prescribed by the
statues was carried out to the
smallest detail. The next step
in the matter is the inaugration
ceremony, March 4th, after
which they will really be presi-
dent and vice-president of the
United States.
Several of the Arkansas City
ministers requested Mayor
Frank J. Hess to close the
joints of that city, and the may-
or had them reduce the request
to writing and promised them a
definite answer. Tbeanswer of
Mayor Hess is published in
Tuesday's Traveler, and is un-
mistakable in its meaning. Mr.
Hess after telling the ministers
that in as much as they claimed
to represent no committee or
organization, that their request
would have only the weight of
that coming from a like number
of citizens of any faith, and af-
ter telling them that the clos-
ing the joints was as much in
their power and as much their
duty as his, he firmly told them
that he was elected on the joint
question and that his overwhel-
ming majority indicated that
the people were then in favor
of joints, and that he had no ex-
pression from the people to in-
dicate that they were now in
favor of suppressing them, con-
sequently he would carry out
the policy of the majority, be-
lieving he was doing the duty
for which he was elected.
Last Tuesday was the anni-
versary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, and appropriate meet-
ing were held in all the large
cities of the land. Abraham
Lincoln was born February 12,
1809, and died. April 15, 1865.
He was the sixteenth president
of the United States, and was
inaugurated in 1*61, during the
beginning of the history mak-
ing period of 1?*61 to 1866. He
is the most conspicuous figure
in American history, and as
citizen and statesman has no
peer. His memory is univer-
sally revered not only by the
people of this country, but by
all nations, and the good he ac-
complished will exist forever.
He was the one man especially
qualified for the work of 1861 to
1865, and it is questionable if
another could have been as suc-
cessful. He died at the hands
of an insane fanatic, who was
the agent of an irresponsible
faction of the confederacy,
then on its last legs, and at a
time when be was in sight of
the culmination of the work for
which he was chosen. Volumes
have been written, and are still
being written of the man's
greatness and worth, and our
greatest writers have extolled
his good deeds and unimpeach-
able character.

Cashier,
Kansas has been gaining add-
ed notoriety this week by
smashing a few more joints, and
in other ways menacing the vio-
lators of the prohibitory law.
Winfield smashed a barrel or so
of the stuff that inebriates, and
Arkansas City threatens to do
likewise. A bill is up in the
Kansas legislature known as
the inquisition bill, that enables
a prosecuting attorney to sum-
mon any man whom he imag-
ines can tell him where the stuff
is located. If he meets a man
with tlie scent of cloves on his
breath, he can make him tell
whether the cloves were taken
to conceal the smell of whisky
or onions. It will be immeas-
urably worse than the search
and seizure law, and is expect-
ed to put a quietus on liquor
selling in short order.
