FRIDAY JUNE 27 1013
We would like to have Senator
Redwine’8 opinion of the investi-
gating committee now that he
has had time to digest what it
had to say about Warden Dick
Gov Cruce has invited all the
governors in the United States
to attend the international dry
farming congress at Tulsa next
fall This promises to be the big-
gest event ever pulled off within
the borders of the state
President Wilson in his recent
message to congress on the cur-
rency question says: ‘‘The duty
of statesmanship is not negative
merely It is constructive aiso”
Now that sounds like real democ-
racy "The Oklahoma legislature is
again in session Wonder how
those good folks oyer there
would feel to have that incubus
not hanging over them?" — Fort
Smith Times Record
Oh shut up! ’Taint fare to hit
a fellow when he’s down
The legislative recess during
which all the boys went home
Beems to have had a soothing
effect upon the stinger of the in-
vestigating committee They are
now able to find a few things
that are at least half decent
That’s encouraging isn’t it?
The latest dispatches from Ok-
lahoma City are to the effect that
the adjournment will take place
at an early date Already a reso-
lution has passed both houses
fixing Saturday of this week as
the last day This time howev-
er will in all probability bo ex-
tended a few days
In the want columns of the
Chicago News we find the fol-
lowing: "Will exchange a new 823 die
tionarv and holder for an auto
matic pistol"
We reproduce it thinking the
item might prove of special in
terest to book agents
"The Star Gazette says that
the county jail of Sequoyah coun-
ty is wide open the guilty have
been sent to the pen and those
not guilty have been sent on
their way of passing the time
Not mnnv counties ol the state
are in this condition"--Spiro
Tribune
That's true alright but you
must remember this is Sequo-
yah county
The dawn of a better day for
Eastern Oklahoma wind) Ins
buffered greatly irom adverse
tax decisions ami geneiallv
tangled condition of Indian af
fairs is rapidly appmii hing For
tile first turn in many Mars
there presides over the I n t rim
Department a man whose Hist
name is "J usliee’’ and who is In
thorough sympathy with the
hardships suffered by Urn statu
It Is confidently expected tint
grealer strides wifi be talfen to-
ward the winding up nfJndlun
affairs In Oklahoma In the next
four years than in the pi-l six

"Sequoyah county is going to
have a "Good Roads Day" some
time In July at which time the
citizen of Sallisaw and Vlun are
going to tarn out In a body mul
work tlui roads The ladies of
the two towns are going to cook
and serve dinner for tlui men
The work of die dav will lie done
on tin) road between tho Uvo
towns An engineer has been
nipple yed to construct a tnlln of
model road before that date
Looks like that would tm n pretty
good stunt for Hllgleraml Kao-
U "—Htlgler Deacon
That'll right boys Just follow
the lead of Sequoyah ooun'ty aud
you will never go wrong
Probably two of the greatest
strokes looking toward the cloa
lug up of Indian affair were
those of Senator Gore who not
only obtained an amendment
the general Indian appropriation
bill providing for the appoint
ment of the Gominlssioner to the
Five Civilized Tribes by the pres
ident but also obtained the adop
tionofau amendment providing
that the Secretary of Interior
shall obtain the services of
chartered accountant to prepare
a complete fiscal and financla
history and statement of the af
fairs of each of the ' tribe The
advantage of the first amend
ment i obvious It no doubt
will open the way for the ap-
pointment of an Oklahoma man
to the position of Commissioner
one who is so thorougiy in touch
with the Indian question that
great steps can be taken in alle
viating present objectionable fea
tures of Indian administration
The second amendment provid-
ing for a complete financial sys
tern is expected to reveal the fact
that hundreds of thousands
dollars have been spent needless
ly in the upkeep of the present
Indian system This statement
is expected to show more than
any other one thing why a radi
cal change in the present meth-
od of caring for Poor Lois essen-
tial With facts and figures at
hand those active in the cam
paign to assist Oklahoma will be
so fortified that neither depart
mental officials or members of
Congress can refute the claim
that there has been too much
red tape at the expense of the
Indians and the welfare of the
state as a whole
It Certainly i Not
The Tishiraingo Capital Dem
ocrat asks:
"Is it not time the people or
Oklahoma were casting about for
a representative man to take the
place of T P Gore as United
States Senator from Oklahoma?’
Let us answer that it certainly
is not Oklahoma is now repre
seated in the U S Senate bv
two real statesmen and we can
not do better than to keep both
of them right where they are
The effort of some of the demo
cratic papers of the state to ere
ate sentiment against Senator
Gore is nothing more or less than
an ellort upon the part of liar
Kiri Murray to create an opinion
that lie is of Senatorial calibre
God spare us from the pain of
having to answer for such a man
as Murray in the senate

A Letter From Mr Cridger
Mr- Editor SUr-Gszette
Sallisaw Oklahoma:
I see in your last week’ paper
a letter from Blackgum atating
that Blackgum needed a cotton
gin I don’t see that they neec
a gin for if they had one the peo
pie there would haul their cotton
toVianand sell it in the seed
There wa as good a gin at Black
gum as could be built but in
stead of getting the patronage
the cotton was hauled to Vian
and there sold iu the seed
Tbi gin already established at
Box near the center of Black
gum mountain can gin all the
cotton that ever has or ever wil
be raised on Blackgum mountain
if it had the opportunity of doing
so In regard to the blacksmith
I will admit that Blackgum does
need one
Will say that crops are small
for the time of year and are need
ing rain very badly at present
Had a shower on the 21st but
nothing like a good rain
I think that Blackgum has the
“big eye’’ on our cotton crop
this year I don’t think that there
ever were more than 600 bales
of cotton raised on Blackgum
mountain in any one year I will
admit that there is some more
planted this year than usual but
think that even should the crop
be a full one 650 bales would be
the limit for Blackgum mountain
this year and if the people of
Blackgum would give the Box
Mill & Gin Company the chance
to gin their cotton they would
not need any other gin on the
mountain
Yours for success
