tt. A. SMITH....................... EDITOR AND PROI
Bunion 1#fTlabel>
The editor of this paper would be an ingrate indeed if he did
not appreciate the splendid and unanimous compliment paid him by
his election to the Presidency of the State Press Association. The
meeting at Muskogee was the largest ever held in the history of the
association and enthusiasm was high and there were a hundred men
there who stand high in the affairs of the state and whom would feel
honored by being made president. Each and every one of them
waived any claim they might have had and helped elect Mr. Smith.
There were men there with whom it had been our duty to clash po-
litically time and again and they were among our most enthusiastic
supporters. There is absolutely no politics in the State Press asso-
ciation as evidenced by the last several meetings. We are aware of
the fact that a president is not elected solely for the honor that is
conferred upon him. There is work for him to do. The organiza-
tion is to be strengthened. It is to be made more potent, more dig-
nified and a greater influence for good. Year after year it grows
and year after year the offices become of more importance. We
realize that we must follow some of the brainiest men of the state.
We ask the assistance of each and every newspaper man of the state
in the building up of an organization that will be a power for the
development of the state and that will live up to a part of the
possibilities that lie within the grasp of the press of the state.

Shall Chandler celebrate the Fourth of July this year? The
question has been asked many times. The Tribune votes yes, and to
settle the matter a meeting is called at Fred Hoyt’s office Friday
night at $ o'clock. Every businessman in Chandler is urged to be
prepent.

In this week's issue of the Tribune appears the announcement
of Dr. J-1. Gumaer of North Fox township for the office of county
commissioner from the First District, subject to the democratic pri.
mery.
Dr. Gumaer is one of the wheel horse democrats of the county
and has hardly missed a committee meeting during the last ten years.
He is a man of excellent judgment and unimpeachrble honesty. He
has lived in Kendries and North Fox ever since coming to the county
and has the confidence and esteem of his neighbors regardless of
party.

went into the fight in behalf of the man who defeated him and how
nearly he was successful is a matter within the memory of all.
Mr. Silverthorn has been a democratic wheel horse for many
years. He has consented to become a candidate for treasurer and
it is conceeded that he will receive the nomination without a strug.
gle- He will make a good candidate and comes from a part of the
county that richly deserves recognition.

THE STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION

who sent them to entertain the association and their praise will be
sung this week from Beaver City to Tahlequah and from Bartlesville
to Hugo. The boys not onlg astonished the people with their music
but were real little gentlemen. We will say but little ourself but
will append some press reports and next week will tell the people
what the weekly papers say about them.
The Times-Democrat, one of the leading daily papers of the
state ran the picture of the band on Friday evening with the follow-
ing write-up.
"The Chandler Boy Band, in charge of Mr. and Mrs. G. A.
Smith of Chandler, arrived in Muskogee Friday morning. Eleven
manly little fellows wearing their red turbans, attracted a great
deal of attention about the Turner hotel. Later in the day they came
out with the horns, drums and uniforms and began to play, and they
can play.
"The ages of these young music makers range from ten to
thirteen years. They average eleven years old.
"Mr. Smith, who is in charge of the boys, is editor and publish-
er of the Chandler Tribune, and vice-president of the Oklahoma Press
association.
"This wonderful little band of music producers was organized
last August by Willis Ambler, aged thirteen. The young man was
elected conductor and leader and is now in charge of the organization.
When first organized there were but two of the boys who had ever
played a horn. The remainder were total strangers to the trebel
and bass clef, and those five long lines they call the staff. They were
hard students, however, and now the entire band plays some very
credible music. This is perhaps the youngest boy band in the United
states.
"The boys were first taught by B. b Ambler, a Chandler lum-
berman and an old band man, the father of the young conductor.
“Muskogee citizens as well as every member of the Oklahoma
| association, are proud of these young musicians.”
The Muskogee Phenox, the morning daily, had the following
to say:
"The Chandler Boys’ Band of Chandler, Oklaeoma, furnished
A new work is being prosecuted by the children of many of the j music fo[. the assuciation, and made a decided hit with the editors.-
The boys range from ten to thirteen years of age and have been or
ganized under the direction of B. F. Ambler but nine months. The
boys gave a concert recently in Chandler and raised nearly enough
money to ray their expenses here, and citixens of Chandler conti ib-
uted the remainder.
“Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Smith, of Chandler have charge of the
boys. Mr. Smith is vice-president of the association. In all pioba-
bilities former precedents governing the election of presidents will
be followed and it is said that Mr. Smith will be elected president of
the association today by a unanimous vote.”
The excursion to Tahlequah Sunday was one thoroughly enjoy-
ed by all present. There were about four hundred who made the
trip and at Tahlequah a picnic dinner was served by the citizens. It
was a surprise to many of us to see those great springs of ice cold
water gushing out of the hill side, many of them of sufficient volume
to run a water mill. Such springs would be worth five million dol-
lars to a city like Oklahoma City. At Fort Gibson the train made an
hour’s stop and the editors saw the most historic point in Oklahoma,
made famous by the residence of Jeff Davis, Henry M. Stanley, t e
great explorer, and of Washington Irving, the gieat author. ie
children of the blind school gave a little entertainment and brought
tears to the eyes of all by the sad bereavement which they appeared
not to realize.
The only real contest of the association was over the place of
holding the next meeting and Bartlesville won over Elk City.

Few men in Lincoln county have attended as meny democratic
committee meetings and conventions and none more than W. A.
(Bill)2 Tovrea of North Choctaw township. He has lived in that
township since the time that the mind of a Lincoln county pioneer run-
neth not to the contrary and he has alwrys been a booster for the
democratic party. Pressure has been brought to bear on him re-
peatedly by his friends to induce him to run for various offices but he
has always refused. This time he yielded fo the demand of his friends
only after repeated efforts. He is a farmer and a progresfive one
and would make an excellent commissioner for the third District.

cities and it is a most important work. The extei minationof the de
sease bearing house fly has been a problem that has puzzled the
brains of health officers and scientists.
It is boldly asserted by those in a position to know that many
of the fevers and a number of other diseases are spread by the com-
mon house fly and various are the methods that have been employed
to kill them.
Now comes a vast army to the aid of the doctors and scientists.
It is the the children of the country and cities. Thousands of them,
millions of them, armed with little spatters and fighting for the
health of themselves and their parents.
Every little boy and girl should have one of these spatters and
swat the fly every time heventuies into the house. They should kill
them on the outside of the house, in fact wherever they can find them.
One thousand little children in Lincoln county, all engaged in batt-
ling the fly, will have a big effect toward the extremination of that
pest. Get a spatter and join the battle. Keep it up day after day as
long as the fly remains. SWAT THE FLY.

Ever since the primary of two years ago the democrats of
Lincoln county have had it in their minds to nominate Sherman Sil-
verthorn, of Tryon to some good county office.
Two years ago he made the race against genial A1 McLaughlin
and was defeated by a small majority.
Instead of sulking in his tent, he buckled on the armor and
