Editor Democrat
Anadarko Oklahoma.
Sir: It is now full time that
public opinion should be aroused
to activity in suppressing the
lawlessness that is destroying the
good name of Anadarko. In a
recent issue of the Democrat ap-
peared an earnest appeal from
the Reverend Methvin for par-
ents to hold their boys to homo
influences but it failed to portray
the awful conditions regarding
the health and morals of the town
and with which their boys are
becoming familiar and which it
is not apparent that due effort is
being made by your city authori-
ties to remove.
in a recent publication of an
official character which has come
to my personal reading the
charge is made that "The streets
of Anadarko were filled with
drunken men women and chil-
dren." This assertion it has be-
come my province to notice in an
official report and to stoutly de-
nounce as a falsehood. In the
same publication it was asserted
that "several boys of the River-
side Indian School had to be
carried home from the town
drunk." This later assertion
could not be denied but I asser
ted that the good people of Ana-
darko would suppress the prac-
tice of the bootleggers who sup-
plied the liquor to the Indian
boys. To my extreme mortifica-
tion and sorrow my trust in this
matter has proven to be unwar-
ranted. On last Saturday after-
noon while riding through your
town I saw andcounted twenty-
three (23) drunken Indians' sev-
eral of them boys of the River
side School. Whithecis the g6od
name of Anadarko tending? Let
the good citizens take heed that
other boys sons of Christian
parents are not exposed to same
temptations as the Indian youth
and if the hell holes and pitfalls
that are now tolerated in your
community are not suppressed
the start that has already been
made by others than Indian boys
will likely bring sorrow and dis-
grace to homes more sensitive
than that of the poor Indian.
Four Indian boys were made
drunk in town yesterday and re-
turned to the RiversideSchool in
such a warlike condition that it
became necessary to arrest and
confine them. The result will be
that the oldest one will be expel-
led from the school and prosecu-
ted in the courts for deadly as-
sault with knife in hand upon one
of the school employees who was
attempting to restain him in his
wild demonstrations of savagery
Very respectfully
James F. Randlett
Indian Agent.
How's This?
Nice thing for newcomers to
Guthrie ! They go to the county
clerk's office and are waited on
by negroes; in the register s office
negro deputies attend to their
wants. No whites are to be seen.
Walking along the streets they
see negro officers guarding city
chain gangs. All this dear read-
er is due to republican control.

Is Corporal Punishment ltcucflclnl In
the Training of n Child?
D. P. Thomas of Oklahoma
City in company with Hon.
Thomas Watkins made this office
a pleasant call today. Mr.Thomas
is in the city to talk with our bus-
iness men in regard to putting in
a mill electric light plant and
canning factory if the proper in-
ducements are offered the com-
pany which he represents.

Kindness love and sympathy
should characterize tho care of
the young. A child should be
carefully guarded from tempta-
tion to wrong doing until the
mind and principles of action
have grown firm enough to keep
him in the right path. The play-
mates and companions should be
the very best obtainable. Child
ren should bo encouraged to bo
frank and truthful in conffssing
their faults and childish esca
pades: and should be shown that
deceit and dishonesty are low
and cowardly while truth and
honesty are brave and noblo.
High ideals and worthy examples
should be kept before them. Par-
ents and teachdrs should show
the children sacredly entrusted
to their care and guidance that
they are their friends; that they
are interested in their sports and
tasks; that they enter into sym-
pathy with their pleasures and
their dissapointment; that their
faults and misdemeanors give
sorrow and pain to the hearts
that love them best; that when
reproof must be given or punish
ment inflicted that it is of ne
cessity and in kindness and love.
Tho child should be taught obed-
ience and respect to higher au-
thority. No trivial or unreason'
able command should ever be
given ; but a request or demand
once given must be complied
with.
Corporal punishment adminis
tered by means ol the rod may
be advisable in dealing with will
ful defiance obstinate careless
ness or a perverted will pro
vided always that it be without
undue severity when all other
forms of influence have failed.
A sense of honor should be culti
vated and developed early that
the child may be for the most
part self governing; that he may
acquire independence of thought
and action and self control; that
his ambitious and purposes may
be actuated by tho highest mo
tives; and that he be enabled to
use to the highest possibilities
of honoroblo and useful citizen-
ship. LlNNA REECE LOWTHER
Be flood to the Firemen.
It appears to us that some pro
vision should be made for fire-
men who are injured while fight-
ing the flames. It is very dan-
gerous work and as the firemen
do not receive regular salaries if
they are injured they sustain a
considerable loss financially as
it prevents them following their
regular occupationby which they
provide for their families. Of
course the firemen cannot afford
this and if the citizens appreci
ate the protection afforded by a
band well trained fearless fire
man some arrangements should
be made in regard to caring for
members of the fire department
who receive injuries while fight
ing fire and paying all expenses
incured by reason of such injury
Let there be no delay in the
school buildings. Push the work
We need them now. Wo are in
formed that there are some parties
trying to worlc the members of
tho school board. We hope this
is not the case. Be honest.
Prove worthy of the confidence
the people have reposed in you.
Every dollar of tho peoples money
should be honestly and economi
cally expended. And by all
means let us have tho school
bnildings as soon as possible.
