Vinita is not exactly a division point
but more passenger trains are handl-
ed here than any other town in east-
ern Oklahoma. Twenty-six regular
passenger trains are in and out of
Vinita every twenty-four hours.

Vinit is closing the year without a
commercial organization as the com-
mercial club went to sleep some
months ago. It has been a good many
years since Vinita was entirely with-
out such an organization. Steps
should be taKen early in the year to
revive this organization and make it
an effective trade getter.

We are today entering into a new

possible. It ought to be a great year

city ought to see growth and develop-

A PASTOR'S PRAYER.
NEWSPAPERS.
The newspapers of Oklahoma were
paid a- fine compliment by Governor
Lee Cruce at the banquet of tho Press
club held Wednesday night ; '
$i ttu informal address the gover-
nor declared that the newspapers of
this state have done more to set Okla
homa right before the outside world
than all the other Influences combined.
For the first time in his life the ex-
ecutive officer of this state had the
opportunity to speak to the newspaper
men of Oklahoma City and to tell them
of the esteem in which he held the pub-
lications of the entire state which
have given valuable space to correct
the misinformation that exists in other
parts of the country relative to Okla
homa.
In concluding his remarks about the
power of the press and the good It has
accomplished in Oklahoma the gov-
ernor told of his recent trip to the
convention in New Jersey at which he
was questioned about the missionaries
who had been sent from the eastern
Our Father we thank thee
for letting us go over into the
new year and for leaving our
unfruitful tree still standing in
the field. We thank thee for thy
patience toward us and thy
care over us. Forgive us our
poor requitals for thy love. Give
us grace to pass through to-
day's open door facing the
clean ciwivas with a consecrat-
ed brush to meet the new op-
portunities with a clear vision
and to greet tlie untraveled
pathway with faith's cheerful
dare. Help us to forget what
we ought not to remember and
to remember what we ought not
to forget out of past years. Give
us first of all thyself and add
what else may bring us more
of thee. If the way Is to be a
pleasant one keep it from mak-
ing us selfish; if it is to be a
toilsome one speak to us more
often that so we may learn to
love it. Give us to understand
whatever we need to know and
before thy veil of mystery
patiently to wait. Make our
lives so evidently sincere that
our defects may not turn others
from thyself; and may our
little deeds be so free of self as
to glorify only thee. Decide
thou for us how much of pros-
perity and .happiness we may
safely be intrusted with; and
if thou must chasten remem-
ber how little we can bear
alone. Above all use us in this
world as much as thou canst
and teach us to use thee as
much as thou dost desire. Plan
for us how far down the years
we shall go and show us how
to make the allotted time worth
while. Father help us to view
our life here as the gift of thy
love; and when thou shalt in-
terrupt it may we be glad to
run home to thee and to him
whom thou didst send to be the
Way. Amen.
J. S. BUSHNELL.

THE SUPREME IDEALS.
To leave behind the disap-
pointments the pain and the
forgiven sin of the past cher-
ishing only its fruitage of
strength wisdom and love and
to go forward into the new year
as the promised land of another
chance of larger life and of
deeper joy; to accept our place
and our work as for us now the
best and to meet our troubles
without ear fret or rebellion
beliving that through seeming
defeat and loss through sick-
ness and sorrow the trusting
and obedient children of the
heavenly Father are guided to-
ward their completest future;
to seek the meaning of earth's
bewilderments in Jesus Christ
finding in his character our
standard of stainless living and
of brotherly service taking his
words as our counsel his cross
as evidence of redeeming love
at the heart of the universe
his empty tomb as a pledge of
the final triumph of his king-
dom and of our own immortal-
ity and himself as our Savior
Lord and Comrade these are
some of the ideals which it is
our privilege to hold before our-
selves as we begin the year
1912.

AN ODE TO AGRICULTURE.
Far back in the ages
The plow with wreaths was
crowned;
The hands of kings and sages
Entwined the chaplet round.
Honor Waits o'er all the Earth
Through endless generations
The art that calls her harvest
forth
And feeds the expectant
nations.

THE POLITICIAN.

book "Among Friends:" We might
leave the word "politician" to be used
in the bad sense if we had another
which we might use in a good sense.
The shifty self-seeking politician
.has always been a well known char-
lacter. He stands in the same relation
to serious politics that the shyster
does to the profession of law. or the
quack in medicine. Every army has
its camp followers every living body

Savoyard wants to combine Champ
Clark and Oscar Underwood and make '
one really great man. But what would

Those democrats who say they want
to turn Oklahoma over to the republi-
cans because they think the democrats
have been too lavish with expenditures
should reflect that the republican par-
ty has never distinguished itself as a
party noted for economy and retrench-
ment. The democratic party is re-
sponsible for exorbitant taxes it is
true but to risk the republicans to
lower them would be an absurdity.

One of the tragedies of a great city
is illustrated in the report of the chief
of police of Kansas City in which is
the statement that 180 women disap-
peared from that city during the year
1911. One hundred and eighty human
derelicts drifted out upon the stormy
sea of life without a trace left behind
to indicate to mother father or friend
where they are. Human existence is
indeed a tangled hank.

Oklahoma City again announces that
it has completed a plan to start work
on the new state capitol. The real
purpose of Oklahoma becomes more
apparent when the preliminary steps
are understood. The first thing pro-
posed is to vote a bond issue of a
quarter of a million in order to get
$ 100000 to pay for 20 acres of land on
which to start the capitol building
in order to put more value into more
land to get more money to do more
work on the capitol building. Fine
stripg of vaugeries eh? Anybody who
thinks Oklahoma City will vote a bond
issue of $250000 for any purpose what-
ever hold up their hands.
This is just another of those schemes
to get the foundation for a capitol laid
and the state committed to the build-
ing then force the state to put up the
money to complete it. Times-Derffo-crat.
