Suiue folks dare to tread where
angels bashful look.
There is not as much objection
in Tahlequah to th° income tax as
there is to the dog tax.
The Telegram office is in receipt
of a pamphlet explaining in detail
' How to feed a baby." We have
no such an article but if we had
we would wage a dollar and a half
against a cow and a cslf that some
one else would do the feeding.
Wilson's advice to Huerta:
Make blue prints of the buzz saw
if you want to, but don't monkey
with it.
Down In Monte Ne Arkansas,
two men engaged in a fight the

stood near, did not interfere. He

youth's frolicsome capers. It may
be however that they mean Ward's
promises are old. Ah, that's it.
His promises, some people re-
mark, are not only old but stale
and cold.
The men of the Congregational
church in Fayetteville are planning
to give a pancake supper soon for
the women of the church. Each
woman is to have all the pancakes
she wants, cooked by the men.
These little offerings, while
they mav have no special food
value, will undoubtly be useful for
bath mats or door mats. They
might also be used to half sole
shoes.
If there is no other way to get
your wife to agree with you just
admi' that you are wrong and let
it go at that.
"Umbrellas are disappearing in
the United States," a news note
says. Our is among those that
d sappeared.
The Telegram is, and always
has been a defender of widows,
hence we brand as uncalled for
the following attempt at slander
by the poet of the Fort Smith
Times Recor<#
A widow has an awful time; she
schemes both night and dav
l'o make fools understand tha'. she's
not naturally Kay.
Our front doors are wide open
and the chicken coops are well
stocked. Brethern, you are heart-
ily welcome.
A Stiilwell editor remarks that
a man should never sav things be-
hind his wife's back unless' he is
hooking np her dress.
A Telegram subscriber reminds
us that a bundle on the end of a
stick is a pretty good indication
that the carrier has lost his grip.
Tulsa's Commercial Club is
campaigning for a 1,000 new mem-
bers. Could cur club here in Tah-
lequah get a baker's dozen? Let's
make a trial.
Sang Tang Whang in the Chin-
ese language means, "he's a jolly
good felloVv." In this part of the
country it is classed with the dead
languages.
Under the new federal regula-
tions it is unlawful to shoot ducks
or other game birds in Cherokee
county along any navagable water
way. except in self defence.
Secretary Bryan says that noth-
ing qould oonvince him that the
world isn't growing better. Cer-
tainly, certainiy. What is Dem
ocratic administration for?
Over in Morris there is a sign
which reads: The New Hose
House." This is not a building
for the display of skirts, but part
of the town's fire equipment.
The Hull Moosers and the Soc-
ialists died hard in the elections
held last week, The latter party
didn't even show a respectable
front. They are too dead to even
skin.
B e'ei Henry Ward should be
rescued from the hands of his
friends. It is a pity to see such a
good "old" man slaughtered in
his own home.
Foster.
A corressondent of the Tele-
gram suggests that L would be a
good idea for the county com-
missioners to have our Methodist
friends purchase chairs for the
county when it becomes necces-
sary in the future. Facetie aside,
it might prove to be a saving to
the people.
Larkin and Camp, poor fellows,
are trembling in their boots,
"Hon." Henry Ward's friend is
tooting his horn from Gabriel and
shouting. "Off with their heads!"
In the language ot the Bard of
Avon, transposed a little, "Lay on
McFoster, and damn be he who
first eries, hold enough."
Even if by some strange freak
that political pranks sometime
plays, a Republican is elected to
office, he is compelled to call upon
Democrats to sign his personal
bond. A Republican official of
Cherokee county, we understand
who gives a $75,000 bond has over
two thirds of that amount signed
by the Democrats.
A Brooklyn, Missouri, school
teacher of 40 years was given
judgment for $'<5,000 for breach of
promise recently. If the affections
of a Missouri maiden lady of 40
is worth $35,000 what would be
the worth of a Tahlequah girl of
22? Rockefeller couldn't pay the
bill.
The following conversation was
overhear^ on our streets'ust week
between two of our citizens who
were glancing at our friend, Hen-
ry Ward as he was standing in
front of Crew Bros, drug store.
Said one of the two, nodding in
the direction of Ward,
"There's a sensible person"
"Who?"
"Mr. Ward there"
"How so?"
"Don't you see him reading the
Telegram?"
The Sang Tang Whang editor
of the eclipsed setting Sun would
have its readers believe that the
editor of the Telegram was given
to drink. In every place we are
known the editor of the Telegram
is regarded as an avowed prohibi-
timist and it is news of the utmost
importance to find '>ut that he has
taken "to the cup" since coming
to Tahlequah.
A Mr. A. S. Foster, in a com-
munication in last week's Sun,
We owe an apology to the Sang
Tang Whang editor of the eclips-
ed setting Sun; we really do in-
deed. When we spoke of sheriff
Ferguson we didn't intend to step
on the toes of the Sang Tang
Whang editor of the eclipsed set-
ting Sun; really we didn't. With
all his faults we love the Sang
Tang Whang editor of the eclips-
ed setting Sun. Yes, we do, we
can't possibly get around it; and
wouldn't if we could; but what's
the use of talking about it, we
couldn't if we would. Your eyes
are like the stars dear Gus, so
glorious they shine; your nose is
like the rose that grows upon the
pumpkin vine. . Here at your feet,
dear Gus, we're pleading; give us
your love we beg. Your mouth
would stop an eight-day clock;
your face will fry an egg.
MEXICO MUST ACQUIESCE.
The Telegram pointed out the
Americanism of President Wilson
in its issue last week and the
country is convinced of his patri-
otism and courage. In his deal-
ing with Mexico he has been
patient as well as showing firm-
ness. If Gen. Huerta should re-
fuse to "meet our expectations,"
pride, if nothing else, would move
us into usiug force to realize them.
The Step taken inay be as short as
Mr. Bryan says it is, but it never-
theless carries us onto ground
from which we cannot recede with
out sacrifice of National digity
Is it conceivable that if Gen.
Huerta should refuse to get out,
as he has been commanded to,
the President and Mr. Bryan
would be content to meet that re-
fusal with no other answer than a
reaffirmation of our purpose not
to recognize his Gcvernment?
That would be to put us where we
were, whereas Mr. Bryan says this
latest note is "in the line of de-
velopment of a policy which the
President has consistently pur-
sued from tha beginning." It is
the last warning before the ship
sails. It means that if Gen. Huerta
doesn't get out the United States
will use such force as it can ccin-
THE DECLINE OL SOCIALISM.
The election last week held
throughout a good pcrti on of
the country shows that the
socalleS Socialist party is fast de-
clining. This party has never
been seriously considered at all by
the better element of society or by
either of the two great political
parties of this country. In fact
whatever constitutes the party was
made up of the rag-tag end of all
parties. Under the captain of "The
Socialist Party's Decadence." the
Oklahoman says that the Social-
ist Party appears to have about run
its course. Tuesday's elections 1(B
evidence this fact very strongly, jf
and there are numerous other J
traws showing the way the politi- *
cial wind is blowing.
In the past year more than 120, S
000 card members of the organiz-1 2j
ation, paying monthly assessments $
into their various locals, have been je
dropped from the rolls for non-! ¥
payment of dues. In addition to §
this, a number of socialist papers 1
have suspended publication.
The causes contributing to this j |
end are doubtless found in the $
advanced political ground pre-
empted by the democracy under j
the leadership of President Wilson
and the progressive party with
Roosevelt at its head. The pro- !
gressive policies adopted by these
two great political parties have
practically swept the socialist or j
ganization off its feet.
Much of that the socialists con-1
tend for is utterly impracticable, j
Human nature will have to be
wholly reconstructed before its;
demands will appeal with force to j
the intelligence of any man who
recognizes his limitations.
ACT AT ONCE.
Eastern Oklahoma, from present
indication, is going to have a
great growth in population next
year. All around us cities and
towns are making preparations to
get what they can out of any boom
or up building that may show up.*
Muskogee is re-organizing and
adding t j the member ship of he r
Commercial club. Tulsa i s mak- j
ing a vigorous campaign for 1,000
additional metnbers to her com-;
mercial body. Okmulgee. Sapul
pa. Westville, Stiilwell and citi-
zens of other places are holding j
meetings and conferences among
the business element laying plans I
for the future. Cherokee county ;
is recognized far and wide as the
best, richest and most productive j
county in all Eastern Oklahoma [
and is certainly located in the
midst of a country that is attract- j
ing universal attention. Tahle-
quah has naturally advantages not
possessed by other towns. What
are we going to do about it? What j
shall we do with these natural, j
God given resources? Its up to
our citizdns to answer these quer- j
ies. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow
never comes; then let us act today.
