Ail roads. now lead to Fairview.
The Muskogee Pheonix is tired of demo-
cratic rule.
The A. and M. college lias been located
at Warner wherever that is.
If you are interested in the upbuilding
of Vinita show your faith by jour works
and help in every legitimate undertaking.
A mighty pull altogether will have the
desired effect.
If the republican party ever had a chance
to carry Oklahoma Taft threw it away
when he knocked on the constitution and
advised the jieople to repudiate the chance
for self government.
The business men and town builders of
this city are about as nearly together as
they have ever been. There is universal
amity and it is therefore a time to do
things. .
The republican press is howling about
the administration of the Oklahoma state
government. Less than a year ago this
same press advised the people to reject
a state government. It is at least eon-distent.
"I am tired of hearing so many women
deny sornfully that they would wear a
sheath gown" growled an El Reno mars-
"VVhat I want is to hear some charming
woman suy bravely that she isn't afraid
to wear that kind of lingerie and then go
ahead and do it '.
A new Eclipse folder has been added to
the equipment of the Chieftain office and
will be installed as soon as it can arrive
from the factory. The Chieftain expects
to keep pace with the town in the way of
enterprise. The town is "going some
but none too fast to suit us.
Bucket shop gambling like all other
forms of gambling beats every man that
engages in it. Like excessive use of in
toxicants it makes a clean sweep and
gets them all. Every now and then some
bank or private fortune is wrecked through
gambling yet men won't take warning.
Colonel Douglas of the Muskogee Daily
Pheonix delves into his private linguistic
armory and brings out the following:
"Cold waves during these hot days
have the same effect on the masses as
cold bottles do on a few unfortunate indi-
viduals combining alike rarity and double
appreciativeness."
The workings of the Oklahoma dispen-
sary law has been nothing more than a
vaudeville show since the day it went in-
to ojeration. No considerable per cent of
the people of the state had any faith in it
from the start but like gooi citizens
were willing to give it a trial. The trial
has been made at least far enough to
convince most people that it is a failure
and the best thing to do is to knock it out
when the election coies on in Noveti.'ler.
The contrast between what would have
been thought today of Richard Hobson of
Alabama if the young naval constructor
had gone down with the Merrimacin San-
tiago harbor ten years ago and what is
actually thought at the present moment
of the living Congressman Hobson of Ala-
bama has in it pathos of the direst trag-
edy. There is no greater misfortune in
this world than to live too long. Dying ten
years ago Mr. Hobson would have been at
once in the ever memorable roster of his
country's patriotic heroes and his mem-
ory attesting the loyalty of his native
Southland would have bee'n another link
to bind together the great sections of the
nation which the conflicts of an earlier
generation had sundered. But living to-
day Mr. Hobson is the derision of the
whole nation; his obsessions regarding
imaginary perils of war with Japan stan.p
him as a man of weak if not diseased
mentality while his desperate endeavors
i to stir up hatred between nations that are
and ought to be at peace are a shami to
that Christian profession which his youth
conspicuously adorned. A sorrier sight
than poor possessed Hobson breathing out
threatening and slaughter against Japan
the American nation has not seen in many
a day. Happily for the faith which an
observer likes to have in the common
sense of his country the national conven-
tion of Congressman Hobson' own party
at Denver laughed him to scorn when he
vented his rabid prophecies there; but
there must have been in the hearts of
many underneath evert the deserved jears
a profound pity for such a wreck of a
once admired life. Chicago Interior.

Ben Jon son was a bricklayer. But
Harold's mother told him that was

Question for Pedagogue.
There is considerable discussion go-
ing on in some of the eastern states
as to whether it is wise to employ all
the teachers of a town from the train-
ing school of the place. That this
would tend to narrow the scope of the
schools and put them into a rut seems
to be the opinion of those opposed.
hile another element thinks that a'
towa with a training school should
provide for its young women In Us

schools with trained teachers!

The movement was s'arted by W. L.

a few days ago that as much as GOO
acres will be planted to Egyptian
cotton this season.
