THE STORY OF
THE MAN, CHRIST
Peace and good wiil are words
descriptive of Christmas sentiment In
all Christian lands. The atar that led
on to the stable at Bethelum 'hat night
more than nineteen hundred years ago
is silU watched for and F^ n In th?
traditions of Its coming. Then began
the most beautiful life of which song
or story or creed has ever told. As
SMnklnd turns to the star with e\ery
recurring Christmas evening so do the
thoaghts of men become better and
purer and more charitable In the con-
templation of the life which it an-
nounced in that lowly manger.
The llory of Bet he!cm and of Cel-
i nrj are known in more lands than the
story of human progress since them
has reached. The celebration of the
tal day of the Sarlour Is more widely
I each year. And the Chris-
i nations are reaching higher levels
I better things In life through the
i of the Naxarino of those
but reeered years. To the peo-
ple of the Occident the story of the
Mvtfc of Christ Is as bright as 1t is to
<&• people of the East The influence
of the man and the teachings he in-
cakated have been the guiding light to
proffn— and civilization even as the
star of Bethelem was the guide to the
men who had looked for the coming of
the saviour.
TTadltlon has dono much to preserve
the historical associations of the var-
ious spots. A chapel is erected In the
carpenter shop at Nazareth and there
la another chapel In the home of Joh-
•ph and Mary.
Bethelem Is filled with grottos Iden-
tified with the life of Jesus from the
crotto of nativity with the stono man-
ger in which the infant was supposed
to have been laid, to the cave In the
field of Boaz, where the shepherds were
when the star appeared to them.
With infinite care the church has
preserved objects, such as ti e stone
which the angels are said to have roll,
ed away from the mouth of the tomb
at the resurrection. Tradition is prob-
ably correct when it selects a certain
grotto in the garden of Oethsemane as
the grotto of the agony.
There is, too, the stone of the aniont-
meat, on wnicn the body of Jesus was
prepared for burial, but there aro
many doubtful points connected with
the virion* cities and eltea of Pales-
tine
Catholic tradition has marked out a
spot upon the Mount of Olives as the
place of the Ascension; but many Blbll-
cal scholars will not accept this, be-
cause It is said in the New Testament
that Jesus during his last meeting with
the Apostles "led them out as far as
Bethany."
The monks transferred this scene to
Se so-called 'tyount of Precipitation,"
Jf an hour southeast of tho town,
but high up In the older tillage there
Is S semicircle of steep cliffs now con-
.cealed partially by undergrowth which
scholars now believe was the sccne of
the attempt. In excavating tho upper
.♦platform there recently, many traces
sf ancient buildings have been found,
*«nd It is supposed that they were erect-
ed while the tradition of this location
was still fresh.
The story of the Christ child Is a
beautiful tale that has lost nothing by
tts years. The life of the man is a
type of perfection for all years and
lands.
who builded his country from the
ground up to the point where the peo-
ple of the old states are sure it is a
good business proposition.
The man who comes from Indiana to
Oklahoma now has the assurance that
the country here Is all right. Their
own Senator Deveridge has looked us
over and announcad that the territory
of Oklahoma is a good deal i etter than
Indiana is in many respects—and it
only took a third as many years to
make it that way.
Th* Indiana newspaper man who Is
holding up the warning signal is a
patriot. It is su< h as he who have
made Indiana a great state.
But the business of the proposition
Is so easily and readily t<e«-n by the
business man who Is coming down here jit, is only 140 times as great.

THE INDIANA MAN
WHO IS COMING Vi EST
An Indiana newspaper is making a
knock on the emigration of Indiana
people to Oklahoma.
And the newspaper cannot be par-
ticularly blamad for the position it
takes, in view of the fact that the
1'ome state of Beverldge and James
Whitoomb Riley and Lew Wallace and
the birth place of a lot of prominent
present Oklahomans, is a good state.
But the opportunities offered in Ok-
lahoma are In many ways immeasur-
ably superior to those of Indiana.
And the comparison made by the
Indiana paper of tho returned Indianr
ens who went to Seattle and Tacoma
snd Nome and China is not a fair com-
parison In any particular.

A REMARKABLE
YOUNG REPUBLICAN
The only republican elected south of
the Canadian river to a seat in :he
seventh legislative assembly was Dyke
Baliinger of the twenty-first district.
Mr. Baliinger was born in east Ten-
nessee Sep: ember 2.1. 1866. and grew
. up oil a farm He had received a rom-
rent campaign than Its importance de- ,mon school education and at the ag * of
served, the first thing to be derided j 15* entered a general store as a clerk
le the question of statehood, if the *her® he nma,nP'1 until April. 1887.
.w r,ni« u.iw, i..ni. „ . , 'when he came west to have a broader
people who have brains, as have thejfje|j
author of the paper referred to. and
the leaders of the movement for the
saie of the lands In question, would
devote their attention to support of U\-
omnibus statehood bill they would be
doing something that would make a
settlement of the school land question
possible.
Oklahoma has a princely school
fund; and its Importance is a grea'
argument for immediate statehood
The fact that school land rentals in
the year Just closed amounted to half
a million dollars is an eloquent argu-
ment for statehood. That Is all there
is to it.
The question of what we will do with
the school lands Is at this timo lik"
the small boy who yesterday speculat-
ed on what he would get for a Christ
mas present and last night dreamed he
was roasting down a warm and com-
fortable endless hillside an a sled made
of candy.
Let's devote some of our talents and
latent ambitions to urging tho passage
of the omnibus bill in order tnat we
may have a chance to do business with
tho school lands in fa rt rather than by
speculation.
Justices of the peace on constitutional
law. If you would go along with us
we will larrup every Justice we come
across, and if they an tell the consti-
tution from the last platform adopted
by the republican party any better than
we can. we'll stop our fight for state-
hood.
The senate is gradually coming over
to the support of Senator Quay In his
attitude on the omnibus bill. If a vote
can be secured the bill will pass this
session of congress. Wonder what the
people who lived in a territory so long
will do to feel natural after they get
statehood.
The annua! story of a Nebraska
snowbound train where the passengers
were 24 hours without food has ap-

trark.
It is announced that Mr. Bryan is in
favor of single statehood and naming
the state Jefferson. Now that Mr.
Bryan. Mr. Hanford. and Carter Harri-
son have been interviewed on the
statehood question the same may be
said to be quite plain.

A FLYING MBCHiNE
THAT IS EXPECTED
Chicago is looking foitrsid to the
appearance within the next few day i
of a new aluminum flying machine,
whoso construction differs so widely
from that of other air ships as to make
its first practical trial noteworthy. It
has no balloon or gan.
The Inventor of this lategt aerial
apparatus is Mr. William C. Horgan
who, according to the Chicago Record
Herald, has produced two other flying
j machines during the past thirty years.
Although both of these earlier produc-
tions were fairly successful, they did
not embody all of the features regarded
by Mr. Horgan as essential to prac-
ticability. His new airship consists
of a cylinder 26 feet long and 6 feet
in diameter, wKh pointed ends; 12
longwingg, six on cither side of the

Arriving in Oklahoma Mr. Baliinger
located in "No Man's Land," now
Beavar county, where he entered the
employ of J. T. Threlkeld on a ranch.
In tho spring of 1888 he returned to
Tennessee and secured a position as
clerk on a steamboat bet wen Knox-
ville and Chattanooga which position
he held until August. 1S90, when he re-
turned to Oklahoma and settled on a
quarter-sertion of land in Beaver coun-
ty fifteen miles west of Hardesty. He
taught school in Beaver county in 1890
and 1891 and In the spring of 1892 was
appointed county clerk by the commis-
sioners of Beaver county. In Novem-
ber following he was elected to the
same office and reelected In 1894. serv-
ing in said office until January 1,1897.
Mr. Baliinger was admitted to the
prac tice of law In Judge Bierer's court
in 1S97 and In 181>S was elected county
attorney of Beaver county, which office
he held for two years. In July, 1901.
Mr. Baliinger was appointed county
dork of Caddo county which office
he holds at this time. He declined to
bacome a candidate for the office of
county clerk, wu.s nominated for repre-
sentative of tb«* district composed of
Caddo county and was elected by a
majority of lfl votes.
Mr. Baliinger was married in Jan-
uary, UJ63. to Miss Delia Groves of
Beaver and they have an interesting
family of two children.
