tation In Statecraft.
Special to the Anlmorolto.
Washington March 4. Tho Pirty-
sovonth congress- died at noon today
by reason of constitutional limitation
At tho sam Instant the Fifty-eighth
congross was born. Thus in this re-
public do wo cry "tho congress Is
dead; long II vo tho congross."
Going back to private life aro some
of tho host mon that ovor sorved tho
pcoplo in public places and nlso some
of tho worst spcalmons ovor oxhlbltcd
and labolcd "statcsmon." Of tho lot-
tor tho least said tho bettor for thoy
aro dead and will bo dead a long time.
Domortuls nit nisi bonum.
Tho country Is a loser by tho retlro-
mont of Senator Vest of Missouri ono
of the greatest orators ovor heard In
tho modern forum nnd ono of tho best
of 'constructive statesmen. Tho coun-
try Is also a loser In the retirement of
Senator Jonos of Arkansas chalrmnn
of tho Democratic national commlttco
ono of tho most forcoful characters In
party councils. Ho Is a giant physi
cally as well as mentally. Oklahoma
loses a faithful devoted public servant
In tho retirement of Dolegato Flynn
who has mado many friends for Ok-
lahoma by making many friends for
himself Oklahoma will yot havo need
of his services before statehood Bhall
havo been acquired.
To say Uiat tho country Is tho loser
by tho retirement of theso and similar
men is no reflection upon tho charac
ters and capabilities of tho delcgatos
representatives and senators whoso
terms of sorvlco began today.
No matter what may bo tho Intellect-
ual possibilities of theso now men In
tho Holds of national legislation thoy
aro lacking In exporlonco. Tho pooplo
who havo tho host representation aro
they who select their best mon ana
then keep them In servlco indefinitely.

Thoro has bcon considerable ot a
stir In tho Choctaw and Chickasaw na

tho .Indian ngent has had positlvo In
structions from tho department ot tho

further states that tho tax In tho Choc
taw nnd Chickasaw nations Is collect

tho department has nothing to do with
it though It Is a fact that a United
States marshal in tho Central district
closed n placo of business for non-
pyment of tho tax. Tho tax Is ono
nnd one-half per cent on all goods In-
troduced. Tho substanco of tho abovo was wir

McKennon Recalls Incidents of Impor
tance That Transpired Years Aqo
and Have Slipped From the
Minds of Average Men.
Cnpt. A. S. McKennon of South Mo-
Alestor was In tho city this morning
Rnd It was while ho was in consulta-
tion with Chnlrman Dlxby of tho com
mission that ho foil into a reminiscent
mood nnd rolnted somo statistics rola-
tlvo to tho commission that aro of In
terest ns thoy aro recalled Cnpt. Mo-
Kon non litis boon a man of noto In
public affairs of tho Torrllory for man'
years and any action that Is Ilkoly to
affect tho Territory to great extent
makes an Impression on him.
"Do you romomber" Bald ho "that
It was ten yenrs ago today that tho
act waa passed creating Uio Dawes
commission?" Chairman Dlxby had not
thought of it. "It wns on November
1 that tho commission wns appointed
and it was December 4 that tho com-
mission roportcd for work. Tho first
mooting of tho commlttco was hold In
the Adams hotel In Muskogco on tho
10th of January following."
Theso aro Incidents that havo slip
ped from tho minds of most of us
yet In their day how Important they
wero. Tho pooplo and tho commis-
sioners themselves and certainly not
tho parties who aro responsible for
tho creation of tho commission did
not realize tho great work they wero
about to undortnko nor Its far-reaching
effects. Muskogco Times.
