that the vags must leave that town or
find employment on the rock pile.

chiefs are back of the movement. They
will meet again November 1 to hear
Lone Wolfs report from Washington.
No More New Towns.—Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department
says that no more new towns will be
allowed in Iudian Territory. That is

something more than a wide place iu
the road.

cell Register quotes from a report from
a congressional committee which places
the taxable property of Indian Terri-
tory at $00,000,000. Since that report
the taxable property has increased
largely and the Register thinks there
is no question that it now equals Okla-
homa in that regard.
New Postoffices.—Post offices have
been established at Kinta, Choctaw
nation, with Luke D. Allen as post-
master; Parktnan, Day county, Okla-
homa, with Eliza Soper as postmaster.
Schools Needed.—A sheriff from
Mississippi went to Guthrie with a
requisition for a prisoner, but neither

young men living on claims in the vi-
cinity of Stillwater and fifty of tliciu
hfvo organized a bachelors' club, one
of their objects beiug to secure wives.
HELPS THE GAMBLERS
SECRETARY SHAW'8 AID TO WALL
STREET STOCK JOBBERS.
Republican Administration Throws
Open the Treasury Vaults to the
"Captains of Industry"—Interests of
the People a Secondary Considera-
tion.
When a granger gets to meddling
with the stoca ticker trouble usually
results. When a country lawyer or
banker is introduced to the mysteries
of "high finance" of the Wall street
variety he is likely to be an easy mark
for our "captains of Industry," as
President Roosevelt calls them.
Captains of industry of the Wall
street stripe are like three card monte
men, the only difference being in de-
gree. They are all gamblors trying
to make something out of nothing.
When President Roosevelt discov-
ered Mr. Shaw he was a banker in a
small town on tho Iowa prairies. He
know the price of hogs; he had a keen
appreciation of the advantage of good
crops and the prosperity that followed
when nature showered her favors up-
on that fertile state.
When Mr. Shaw was selected as
secretary of the treasury his first step
after being sworn in was to visit the
subtreasury in New York. That gov-
ernment building Is in close proximity
to Wall street and when the hankers
and stock jobbers heard that Shaw
was in town they called on him and
showered him with invitations to ban-
quets and entertainments. He held
conferences with the leading finan-
ciers and a program was fixed up to
aid the waning fortunes of what is
known as the money market.
The bankers said their stock of
money was fast being depleted by the
calls for money from the West, "to
move the crops." This is the usual
annual subterfuge for a raid on the
United States treasury. The West
was simply calling for the money its
banks had on deposit in New York,
which the New York bankers had
loaned to the Wall street gamblers.
Secretary Shaw from his experience
as a country banker knew that this
fiction of Wail street furnishing the
money to move the crops was merely
a blind to cover up the operations that
were to transfer the treasury surplus
to his new found friends. He was
anxious to aid them and "save the
country" and his party, for Shaw is a
partisan.
The Chicago Chronicle, which can-
not be said to be antagonistic to the
money power, in its issue of Oct. 2,
gave a full account of the connection of
the administration with the New York
bankers in which it said:
"The secretary of the treasury ex-
tended a favor to these men, which
it is admitted saved Wall street from
a disastrous panic. The favor was all
the more valuable because tho Secre-
tary was compelled to put aside some
of the most sacred traditions of the
treasury department and place con-
struction on laws that may not here-
after be sustained by the courts. The
favor was not the secretary's. It was
the administration's. Wall street can
charge it directly to President Roose-
velt."
From this it will be seen that the
extraordinary aid to Wall street that
has stretched the law in favor of Mor-
gan and the trusts to the point, "that
may not hereafter be sustained by the
courts" was a well connected scheme
to aid the stock gamblers at the ex-
pense of the people.
The country banker who had hardly
warmed his chair as Secretary of the
Treasury had been introduced to' the
Wall street game and had at once
fallen in love with it. Perhaps he had
a tip in return on how the market was
going. Like many an unwary granger
seeking gold bricks in Gotham he may
later be a wiser but sadder man
Government by Injunction.
At the last session of Congress a
bill was Introduced under the title
"to define conspiracies." It was
drawn by an attorney for the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and was in-
tended to prevent "government by in-
junction," The Democratic members
of the judiciary committee were
unanimous for the bill, but Mr. Little
field, a Republican, who is said to be
selected by President Roosevelt to
iead the fight against trusts, was op-
posed to the bill and made a long re-
port against it. This indirectly shows
that the President Is not heartily in
sympathy with the striking coal min-
ers or he would not select a lieuten-
ant who opposed remedial legislation
that was fraught with so great con-
sequences to laboring men and espe-
cially the striking miners. In spite of
the opposition of Mr. Littlefleld and
others, the bill passed the house, but
corporation influence was too power-
ful in the senate and it was laid aside.
The Democrats of both houses were
anxious to pass this bill and it was a
sorry day for the striking coal min-
ers when their efforts were defeated
by the Republicans.
In telling of the injunction cam-
paign now going on in West Virginia
against the strikers' rights, the New
YoHc Journal says:
"One more crime has been added to
tho catalogue.
"Judge Jackson, by his injunctions,
made It a punishable offense to ask
a coal miner to join a labor union, and
now Judge Keller, another West Vir-
ginia jurlrist, has Issued injunctions
forbidding the establishment of strike
camps, which are established In con-
nection with the purchase and distri-
bution of food for the striking miners.
"The law-breaking railroads, which
mine coal illegally and In defiance of
their charters, are to be congratulat-
ed on the presence on the bench of
two such convenient justices as these.
"If they do not win the strike, it
will not be the fault of Judge Jack-
son and Judge Keller.
"The splendid response of the union
conference In the matter of strike
benefits made it impossible for the
coal operators to carry out; their be-
neficent scheme of starving the min-
ers into abandoning their union, so
this injunction, directed at the lead-
ers pf the national executive commit-
tee and others charged with the duty
of providing supplies for the men
who are out on strike, comes along in
the very nick of time.
"The encroachment on the liberty
of the miners Is greater with every
example of this misuse of the power
of the Federal injunction."
And then .after describing the old
penal laws of England that punished
a man who refused to work at the
prevailing rate, the Journal goes on
to say:
"It was from this condition of slav-
ery that labor unions rescued the men
who do the world's work.
"The injunction principle would
again bind the hands of labor and
make it absolutely dependant on the
generosity of employers.
"It Is not for the law to say that
men shall not join unions for their
mutual benefit, or that they shall not
endeavor to get others to join them or
that they shall not form camps or do
anything else that is not in itself un-
lawful, and when the law is turned
and bent to make these things crim-
inal, to the end that some mail or set
of men may hire workers cheaply,
there is engendered a contempt for
laws that may not always be confined
to the judge-made rulings."
The Iowa Idea—Is It a Shelter?
The Trust Plans Exposed.
The real reason for the retirement
of Speaker Henderson is at last made
public from an unexpected quarter,
and the Chicago Tribune, Sept. 20, pub-
lishes the evidence:
"Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 19.—
Frank J. Sheridan, special agent of the
United States department of labor,
and an old friend of Speaker Hender-
son, sent him this telegram yester-
day:
" 'Regret sacrifice you have made.
If it sobers the nation and averts peril
of free trade revisions, it will not be
in vain.'
"The following answer came to-
day:
" 'Thanks for telegram. Time will
show I am right.
" 'D. B. Henderson.' "
This friendly correspondence shows
(1) that Henderson has made a sac-
rifice; (2) that it was for the purpose
of averting revision of the tariff; (3)
that if it sobers the nation it may not
be in vain.
Mr. Henderson acknowledges the
telegram and evidently agrees with its
contents, for he says: "Time will show
I am right."
Now, if the word "nation" in the tel-
egram is changed to read Roosevelt,
the real reason for the sacrifice that
Speaker Henderson acknowledges he
has made is quite clear.
Speaker Henderson has been spend-
ing the months since Congress ad-
journed at the seaside resorts, where
the trust magnates and the Republican
leaders also congregate. They talk
over "the peril of free trade revision"
and the evident intention of President
Roosevelt to favor it. Something must
be done or the protection the trusts
enjoy under the tariff will be endan-
gered. The situation is so alarming
that bold steps are necessary.
The Oyster Bay conference is ar-
ranged for, the Republican senators
are to try and convince President
Roosevelt that it would be very dan-
gerous to the party to talk the "Iowa
idea" of tariff reform on his Western
stumping tour. Some bold movement
is needed to turn the President from
his purpose. Henderson is prepared
to make the sacrifice. It is arranged
that when the Oyster Bay conference
Is in session, he will announce his re-
tirement as a candidate and give the
tariff dispute as the reason.
The bomb was exploded and Oyster
Bay felt the shock. The tariff was
safe—for the present—from the Rough
Rider.
The trust magnates have not played
all their cards yet. Like the heathen
Chinee their Bleeves are full of them.
They have other important leaders In
reserve who will emulate Henderson
in other startling political plays if the
occasion requires more heroic treat-
ment.

Rev. Charles A. Tucklngham, the
New Jersey clergyman who recently
creatod a sensation by resigning the
pastorate of a Baptist churoh because
he could not accept some doctrines
of the denomination, has become
ticket agent for the Pennsylvania
road at Pittsburg.
Where Journalist Scored.
One of the keenest of journalists
and wits, Morltz Gotleib Saphlr, had
the better of the irata stranger
against whom he ran by accident, at
the corner of a street In Munich.
"BeaBt," cried the offended person,
without waiting for an apology.
"Thank you," said the Journalist, "and
mine Is Saphlr."
Motor Cars In Scotland.
The motor-car terror is said to
have struck Scotland severely on ac-
count of the number of rich tourists
who visit that country. In one case a
heavy racing automobile, running very
rapidly at night, plunged into a flock
of sheep being driven to market, and
killed and mangled quite a number of
them.
Indian's Neat Retort.
One of the most richly deserved re-
torts I have ever met with was that
of a Sioux girl at the Hampton Insti-
tute not long since. A silly visitor
to the school went up to the mag-
nificent red-skinned belle and said:
"Are you civilized?" The Sioux rais-
ed her head from her work slowly—
she was fashioning a breadboard at
the moment—and replied, "No; are
you?"
A Cure for Rheumatism.
Bridgeport, Wash., Oct. 20th.—Rheu-
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter-
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro-
duced.
It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on tha
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One of the most striking of these is
that of Mr. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains of
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and ho
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have dons
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else I have ever
used. There is more virtue In them
than in any other medicine and I will
always highly recommend them to all
of my friends."
Large Irrigation Lakes.
The area of the new irrigation lake
in Egypt is 223 square miles. There
is in prospect a dam across the Mis-
souri river which will make a lake just
double that size.
Quite as Modest as Ever.
The friends of the tariff feel that
they have a perfect right to insist
upon it being left severely alone. But,
the friends of the tariff never were the
least bit backward In assuming posi-
tions of that sort.
Revolutionary Episode Forgotten.
The anniversary of what is known
as the Paoli massacre, when Gon.
Wayne with 1.500 men was set upon
by 3,000 British on September 20,
1777, twenty-one miles from Philadel-
phia, was unobserved this year for
the first time since the Revolutionary
War. A high granite monument
marks the site of the battle.

High Honors for Winchester Guns.
The reputation of the Winchester Repeat-
ing Arms Co., New Haven, Conn., the larg-
est manufacturers of guns and ammunition
in the world, stands as high abroad as in
this country, as is evidenced by the fact that
most of the crowned beads of Europe place
orders with them for their hunting outfits.
The last addition to the long list of poten-
tates to favor the Winchester Company
with his patronage is King Oscar of Sweden,
He was to pleased with the guns made for
bim by this great country, that, without
solicitation ou their part, he appointed
them gun makers to His Majesty.

Of London Fog.
A Frenchman was paying his first
