Entered at the Postofflce in Claremore,
t. T., as second class mail matter.
Be loyal to your town both at
home and abroad.
In our opinion there is little
difference between the man who
steals a horse and the man who
tries to besmirch the character
of a fellow citizen. If there is
any difference it is in favor of
of the horsethief.
There was at one time painted
a picture of two dogs entitled
Dignity and Impudence, and it
would not take a very great
stretch of imagination to find
the solution in this town.
We have not hard feelings to-
ward men who will come out and
fight their fellowmen openly and
above board, but we have a
loathing contempt for the man
who will stand back and urge
others to do a wrong toward his
fellow man, and then like a cur
stand back and leave their col-
leagues in the lurch. We at all
times respect an open enemy,
but have more respect for a com-
mon cur dog than we have for
the craven who will try to stab a
man in the back and then run to
cover when asked to face the
man they have traduced.
We seo uo just reason why the
council of tliis town is neglect,
ing the rights of our citizens in
the matter of passing ordinances
to conform with thu government
survey. There area number of
people who in reality are votors
of our school section under the
new survey who will bo deprived
of their rights as voters ut the
election in December next, un-
less matters are brought to a
climax in the uear future, and
then again it must lie apparent
lo every right minded man that
in the matter of assessment, un-
loss action is taken soon as lo
the admission of the now terri-
tory provided for by the govern-
men survey, that many will es-
cape taxation for next year by
reason of tho fact that tlioy will
not be incorporated before Fob
ruary 1st, next. This delay in
taking action iu this matter is
not only detrimental to our peo-
ple, but is actually unjust and
unfair.
Our Needs.
Members of congress and
many junketing parties have
been and are announcing their
intention of traveling through
this country with a view of look-
ing into the situation of affairs
here. They need not look far
before they will, if they are hon-
est in their inquiries, find that
what is most needed is:
Firstly, a public school system
for this country. We may be
met with the statement that
there is no fund for the purpose.
Well, let congress pass an act
levying a small royalty on oil.
coal, gas and minerals produced
in this country and we will have
a fund ample to meet all require-
ments.
Secondly, let us have legisla-
tion forcing all to get upon their
section lines, and providing for
an adequate road law compelling
all to work the roads. And,
further, give us the power to
build bridges.
Thirdly, let us have a fence
law that will establish what is an
adequate and lawful fence.
Fourthly, let provision be
made so that the U. S. Commis-
sioners of this country may have
increased jurisdiction, and juris-
diction of matters involving pro
bate, and forcible entry and un-
lawful detainer, and thus relieve
the congested condition of the
district courts of this country.
And, finally, let congress re-
member that in this country
there are a vast number of
American citizens who are treat-
ed worse than aliens, and let
let them use and bring to bear
common sense in legislating for
us. If they have not the data
and information on which to base
their opinions, let them send for
some one or two or three practi
cal men of this country, men
who have had the experience and
who know the requirements of
our people, and they will learn
what are our needs.
The time for the reign of lob-
byist is past and the people of
this country ask and demand
fair treatment and legislation
that will advance rather than
retard the growthof the country.
W. c. T. U. Convention.
No one is to bo more profound-
ly pitied than he who believes
everything reported of his neigh-
bor. Such a disposition maybe
termed cancer of the heart and
ertsout all charity, inercy and
faith in his kind. We are depen-
dent upon each other for life and
happiness in this world, and life
is a dreary, dark dungeon if we
lose faith in humunity. There
are frailities enough in human
hearts, but the world holds mil-
lions of men today who would
die for honor, and whose word is
as sure as life. No weakness is
productive of so much harm as
that of credulity in reference to
slander, being responsible lor
more broken hearts than any
other sin. If you want to be
kind or just or merciful, as you
would obtain mercy, hold fast to
the faith in the integrity and
purity of your friend.—Chicka-
sha Express.
Report ol Claremore Delegate to
Territonal Convention.
The 10th Annual Convention
of the W. C. T. U. of tho Indian
Territory was hold at Tahlequah
Sept. U4, 190JJ, Tho delegates
were met at the station by re-
ception committee and Bro. San-
ders, whoso wife is the president
of Tahlequah Union. It was
your delegate's happy lotto be
assigned to tho home of Mr.
Sanders. We were taken to the
Presbyterian church where the
convention was to be held. The
church was decorated in a pleas
ing manner with flags, many
banners, plants, white (paper)
ribbon in abundance, and pic
turesofMiss Willard and Mrs.
Stapler, the latter a Cherokee
woman and the first Territorial
president. Tho Territorial Hag
given by Mrs. Stapler and Mrs.
Fuller in 1899, to be sent to the
Paris Exposition, decorated the
wall, and from its threadbare
appearance it looked as if it had
been borne into the thick of
battle. It has been sent to many
notable gatherings.
The first meeting was a sue
cess and in every way enthused
officers, delegates and workers
Opening song, "All Hail the Pow-
er of Jesus name." The pres-
ident of Baptist Academy con
ducted the devotional exercises,
after which the older members
of tho Loyal Temperence Legion
sung "Temperance Girls and
Boys are We," the younger girls
and boys marched in with ban-
uers, joining in the song.
Little Madeline McSpadden
welcomed the convention in be-
at f of the Legion and Mr. E. M.
Landrum in behalf of the city,
whose words brought us in close
fellowship when after speaking
of the hop ale joints at our backs,
tho drug stores on the right,
some of the U. S. officials on the
left and the bootleggers in front,
he said it made him feel like say-
ing, "Let us pray," and called on
the Presbyterian pastor to pray.
While the convention does not
allow their honorary members
to vote, their influence and power
are realized and appreciated. A
number were in attendance. A
young attorney spoke in behalf
of the business men. He gave a
beautiful tribute to womanhood
when he said "She stands for
the best there is in human life."
He voiced the truth that busi
ness is better when there are no
saloons and that it is to the bus-
iness interests that the temper
hnce work prosper, One of the
teachers represented the schools
of this Athens of the Cherokee
Nation. He said that the W. C.
T. U. always had something good
to give, and the convention said
we must not disappoint them,
but give to the schools and city
of Tahlequah something to keep.
The Presbyterian pastor spoke
for the ministers and churches.
He was cheered with enthusiasm
when he said that not one of the
Ministers Association of Tahle
quaii used tobacco. He added
that a man was not as temperate
as he ought to be who used to
bacco—nor a woman either. He
also said there would not be so
much need of a W. C. T. U. were
it not for the M. D. I. U.—
"Man's Devilish Intemperance
Union."
Last of the welcomes was the
address given in behalf of the
local union by the president,
Mrs. Sanders, who looked so
sweet and pure in her robes of
white. One could not help but
feel that there was a tie that
binds hearts in the W. C. T. U.
work as they listened to her.
And while she gave God all the
glory for anything that has been
done in this great work. The
convention realized the Union of
Tahlequah had a godly woman
to lead them. Miss Holister re-
plied to all in behalf of the con-
vention. The morning session
convened at 8:30. All sessions
were opened with devotional
services, different ladies leading
each ti mo.
The business of tho convention
was takon up and committees ap-
pointed (o act during the conven-
tion. your dologate acting on
finance committee with one from
Muskogee Union. The ivport of
the president of 1st district read
and accepted. Koports from the
other district president read
and accepted. Next the report
and discussion of tho paper,
"Our llolpor," which is the offi-
cial organ. Tho membership
dues are to bo raised to 11.00 in-
stead of 00 cents and each mem*
berls entitled to the paper with-
out further charge, 25 cents of
each 91.00 being sot aside for the
paper.
Just hero to relieve taxed
nervosa physical culture exor-
cise—not dancing by any moans
—was conducted by Miss Holis-
ter, all taking part each day and
sometimo at oach session thuso
exercises were given. Timo for
same about live minutes.
The "Y" work was discussed
by several. Tho "Y" moans
"Young Women's Temperance
Union." All agreed the "Y"
could conduct some parts of the
work even inoro successfully
than tho women and could take
up any part of the work. That
if the "Y's" would bring them-
selves by pledgo not to accept
attention from gentleman unless
they abstained from intoxicants,
tobacco, etc. They could do
so much toward bringing up the
moral standard of young men.
Some instances were given
where this plan was adopted and
the young men came to the terms
of the pledge, the gentlemen ad-
mitting that they had been in
company of young ladies when
they were not fit to be with men.
And also said they had been al-
lowed to go with young ladios
from the best homes when the
young ladies knew they wore un-
clean in morals and somewhat
under the influence of intoxi-
cants when with them. Is it not
a shame our girls do not have
more respect for themselves?
After noontide prayer, thedis
cussion of L. T. L. was taken up.
The subject was opened by Mrs.
McDonald, who lectured in Pres-
byterian church at Claremore
last winter She said the little
ones were always anxious to take
up the work, but it was hard to
get the women to take charge of

Do You Have Chills?
If so your experience has lieen that of hundreds of others. You go to
the family physician, tell him of your troubles and nine times out of
ten ho will write you two prescriptions, one a febrifuge usually con-
taining'(Juinino and Iron. The other a liver regulator In some form
that will put the liver and bowels in pood condition. The doctor
charges you tho reasonable fee of one dollar and you take your pro-
scription to the druggist. Here you pay about one dollar for the med-
icine, and if you take both as directed the chances are that you will be
benefited. But why pay out the #2 when 50c well expended gives as
good or better results. The up-to-date druggists i9 not slow to catch
on, he (ills hundreds of prescriptions from scores of the best physi-
cians, all for the same complaint. He sets to work to combine these
medicines in a palatable safe form and in one perscrlption which will
do the ivork of the two. Thus you hare the combined knowledge and
experience of the most widely known physician and the most expert
druggist or pharmacist. One furnishing the required medicines the

perience you are offered for 50 cents per bottle SWAMP CHILL and
