and strength. Passing to the white man's
point of view, Mr. Roosevelt declared
with equal sternness, which evoked trem-
endous applause, that to avenge one hein-
ious crime by another is to reduce the
man committing a wicked act of venge-
ance to the bestial level of the man who
perpetrated the bestial crime. Above
all other men, Mr. Roosevelt told the
Governor, those who are the official
spokesmen and executors of the law owe
it to their people and to the cause of civ-
ilization and humanity to do everything
in their power, officially and unofficially,

10c per inch for each insertion. No dis- j boldy uttered, without the faintest re

speaker's political influence- Even tiom
the view-point of expediency, however,
the President made no mitake in trusting
to the manhood of a Southern auidenee.
His hearers, cheered Mr. Roosevelt as it
he were a prophet in Israel, and Govern

his ill conceived and ill timed appeal to

Davis Rebuked.
During his swing around the Southern
circle President Roosevelt said m.-iny
things which will live long after he has
passed away. He was particular}- vigor-
ous on the subject of lynchings and he
took occasion during his address at Little
Rock to rebuke Gov. Jeff Davis and the
atjtude he takes on this subject. Com
meeting editorially on the Little Rock
speech Harper's Weekly says:
"That the President means precisely
what he said was shown on October 25th
at Little Rock by the stern and untlincli
ing way in which he rebuked Governor
Jefferson Davis, who, in a speech of in
traduction, had seen tit to insert an apol-
ogy for lynching. When Mr. Roosevelt
rose to acknowledge the tremendous
cheers with Governor, aud told him,
with arms upraised, that he, for his part,
was fotunate enough to be Chief Magist-
rate of a vast commonwealth, in which
he did not have to praise one State by
running down any other State. Me
added that he had never said in any State
or iu any section what he would not have
said in any other State or in any other se
ction. Arkansas was, he gladly acknowl
edged, as its Governor had proclaimed it
a great and mighty State. But, continu
ed the President, the New England Stat
the Middle, the Western, and the South
crn States were all good and great com
muuities, and he was for them all. Lat-
er in his speech'Mr. Roosevelt turned a
gain upon the Governor and reminded
him that l:e had spoken of a heinous
crime that is often heinously avenged
The President denounced as the
ebemy ot the negro race the negro crimi-
nal and, above all, the negro criminal of
the" particular type referred to; for such
a negro has not only wrought an un-
speakably heinous and infamous crime
against the victim, but he has committed
a heinous crime against the people of his
owft color, and every colored man who
acial prejudice.'
A New Firm.
Horace Bradley, has formed a partner-
ship with Messrs. Hyde, A' Hyde, of
Konawa, and the latter will have charge
erf the office at that place, while he will
remain here. This is done for the sake of
convenience of all members of the firm,as
the remoteness between the two towns
makes business matters before the courts
very inconvenient,but Konawa, office has
no interest in Mr. Bradley's business in
Wewoka.

Patrons are urged to examine pupils
report cards and try to help pupils and
teachers to show up better records at the
end of next five monthly report. Insist
on more work. Visit the school. Stop
lielpiug the pupils at home, but see that
they get their work well. The interest
of a pupil in school depends largely on
the interest of his parents in his
school work. Help the pupil to learn of
his little things aud go after his school
work in business like way. Have the
pupil to give you a daily report of him-
self. PlUNCll'AI,.
The truth is that iu spite of the oracu-
lar expressions of Senator Beveridge and
Representative Cannon, Congress lias not
yet made up its mind 011 the subject. It
has not even considered the matter. Se-
quoyah makes her first application for
statehood this winter, and it will be con-
sidered without prejudice, except by the
small minority in each house with looks
at every public question from the view-
point of narrow partisan sectionalism.
There are members at both ends of
the Capitol at Washington whose decis-
ion against Sequoyah is already made.
They are of those who look with jeal-
ousy on any accession to the political
power of the West and Southwest, and
would restrict the representation in Con-
gress of the.se sections to the narrowest
possible limits. Senator Beveridge and
former Speaker Cannon are of this class
with respect to the Southwest.—St Louis

A Broken Arrow man recently created
a sensation by driving into Claremore
with a wagon load of empty jugs. A
gang of thirsty ones followed him, but
were disappointed when they saw him
fill up the jugs with water at the Clare-
more springs and drive away. He "ex-
plained to the boys that he was on' the
water wagon.
