HKACTIFV THE CITY.
Ti e ladies ciu! of this city could undertake no bet-
ter work thee day the creation of a sentiment for
parks. The nwn a a rule are too btiny to take much
Interest In any project that does not have an Immediate
return In dollars and cent. Hut the women have t ie
to appreciate the beautiful. What more beautiful than
parks' Aid what In the long run I a better Invest-
ment for a city than parks? W already have Iwo
North and South parks which only need development
and tiow the Frisco ha npressed a willingnevt to iftve

ie do a better tttinif than In inaklnjr Vinita a more
L nutiful eity in wliich to live?

j A point to t reniemlrel In the cotultiij municipal
j campaign Is this: While iixmt of the citiicns uf VinUa
i art aligned wl'h one ot the other of the great h Utical
! parties the majority of them care not m tnucb atwut
the success ot their party In a municipal election as they
do about the future prosperity of Vinita where ail their
pioperty Is located. !t can t lie re for tw predict! with
considerable wrtainty tliat the iHniiooratie party or the
Uepuhiican party will be successful act'ordinj: to the can-
didates lexulnated.
iMuiocrats who want to sew Vinita grow will not
te likely to vote for candi lates who have all
th-lr lives been puiilnj back vsn thot:gti their
part t record is perfctly reKUUr and the same thing
hold true of the Uepublleans Therefore since there

The Chieftain Is loath to IsfMev the reivrt that

party harmony and is atut to negotiate a compromise
with tl railroad wi.ator.
I' poii the success of th Hepburn bill rre.sident

measure as It ougtit to l but at lea.st it Is strong
enough to have aroued the malignant oppition of the
railroads. If he succeeds In carrying tt. is bill ttirougti
the president will more sipuiar thaji ever In his life
