Nnxt Tu> sday is the day set aside
for the election of a new set of munici-
pal odicers, and as there are two
tlcke's in the fie'd the people of Tah-
lequah may choose those whom they
think will do most for our municipal
growth—who will stand for progres-
sion and expansion.
I In this ins .a nee... it is unnecessiry to
I recite the two platforms. They have
i been read over and over again, and
the intelligent voter by this tira-; Is
cjrtalnly familiar wlih the meaning
thereof. It is not hard to choose be-
tween the t vo. The Democratic plat-
form stands for municipal ownership
of public utilties and for public free
schools. The K-publican • platfoi m is
composed of words, words, nothing
but words. It begins by recommend
ing the Rough ltider who sits in the
president's chair, and ends with an ln-'
junc ion to staui for pirty orgauiz:-
tion. The two tickets' are composed
of good men, but the merits are truly
on the side of Democracy, and when
you vote Tuesday see that you vote
this straight ticket:

made some enemies, but like other
men, he is to be admired for the
enemies he has made. No man is per
feet, but taking it all in all, Mr. Cun-
nigham has managed the affairs of
Tahlequah in a commendable manner,
showing statesmanship and patriotism,
and when statehood comes the Arrow
takes it (hat he will be honored further
by his people.

the Arrow will remark that Mr. Pitch-
fo::d has been honored by this people
as no man has—that Is, he was the first
white man, and non citizpn to be
elected mayor of Tahlequah, succeed
ing Judge Paschal, who. left a clean
record behind him.
Believing it unnecessary the Arrow
will not further personize.
They have done their duty as they
met and saw it
Cherokee Academy opened its new
building Monday, March "Jl Of late
the school has grown so rapidly as to
make expansion necessary and it was
with genuine delight that the pupils
left their crowded quarters for the
^handsome building recently erected
by the Home Mission Board of New
^ork and the generous citizens of
Tahlequah. Monday morning chipel
exercises were conducted by ttev. A.
O. Stewart, pastor of the Haptijt
church, and President Pack. Both
speakers dwelt particularly upon the
fact that each pupil should strive to
keep their hearts and lives as clean
aud spotless as the walls of the build-
ing, and build their characters as
symmetrical, compact and beautiful.
On Tuesday morning Dr. Clark, of
Kansas City, delivered an address to
the students. I)p. Chiverai, who rep
resents the Home Mission society,
with bis usual chirm of manner, spoke
many helpful words to faculty and
pupils Wednesday morning. Dr. Chiv-
ers has been instrumental in helping
ins school in various ways and is
recognized by the student body as one
of their best friends. Olher speakers
or the week were Mr. Stallcup und
Rev. Franklin.
On Priday night occurred the dedi-
catory services. The audience was in-
vited to sing with the .school its favor

the Arrow will say that the outgoing
administration has done its work well.
It has met momentous issues, and has
dealt with tbem In a manner which
should commend them to their friends
hereabout.
They were all democrats, with the
possible exception of Mr. Luster. The
people to be elected next Tuesday will
be democrats, and as Mr. Wyly is a
man of progressive ideas steady pro
gression for Tahlequah is honestly
expected.

the people's welcome.
ed the invocation. Addresses were
delivered by representati7e men and
the prayer, in which the new structure
was consigned to God, to keep and
tfuard and bless, was offered by Dr
C'bivers. An attractive feature of the
program was a chorus composed of
fulI blood Cherokee boys and girls
"The Palms" was rendered 'by Misses
Hudson and Ferguson. The closing
number was a beautiful pantomine,
lhe Holy City.M Sixteen girls in-
terpreted perfectly the rich, full m^as
ures of tin song, which was rendered
by Mi S8 J loth. As the last chorus
rose loud, clear and triumphant, the
electric lights were turned off and the
flashlights used. The chapel flooded
with golden li^ht and the white robed
girls who performed their part so in-
telligently, Impressed the audlenee as
being one of the best numbers ever
given in Tahlequah.
The entertainment given Saturday
night was a fitting finale to the week's
program. ThoBe who took part show-
ed faithful work on the part of the
teachers in charge as well as hard,
conscientious practice by tne pupils.
The house had been tilled on the other
occasions but (>n this night it was
crowded and standing room was at a
premium.
It was an evening of piano, voice and
expression. Perhaps the number most
enjoyed was a play entitled "Gossip,"
by six girls. The recitations by Glen-
nle Harris and Irene Veager were
heartily applauded and bDth respond-
ed gracefully to the encores. Misses
Myrtle Pollock and Louise Crafton
gave a charming duet. The pantomine,
"Lady Clare," by six girls, and recited
by Miss Vyvian Jones, in her usual
pleasing manner, was highly appreci-
ated and applauded. Miss Daisy Hud-
son sang "I Dreampt I Dwelt in Mar-
ble Halls." Py almost universal re-
quest "The Holy City" was repeated.
There are some institutions in life in
which much can be put and little re-
alized, but the faculty ana students
of Cherokee Academy have long since
taught the people of Tahlequah that
their cooperation is appreciated by
having only a high standard of enter-
tainments, and in fact by having a
high standard in all things and work-
ing up to it. Since Mr. Pack has
taken charge, he, assisted by his en-
thusiastic teachers, has made the
school an institution In which it is an
honor to be a student.
Cherokee Academy has the best
wishes of Tahlequah people and the
Arrow for many prosperous years in
their new school home.
Injunction Urautrd
Judge Gill on yesterday granted a
temporary injunction restraining the
Crystal Springs Water Co. from put-
Ung in water works in Tahlequah un-
the provisions of an ordinance passed
by the city council. The case will be
heard in the court of appeals.
