Tfcecity fathers moat hare bad a
“previous engagement" /or they
failed <te meet Monday night.
The Webber s Fa Ms Galaruet has
quite a huoah of ordinances in the
last issue. They ore determined to
have law as well as a new steam
ferry at that place.
There is great rejoicing in lbe
Territory over the supreme court
decision in aitir.eusbip cases. A few
“scattering <remarks’' are being
made by those who got left.
The question of timber is receiv-
ing considerable attention just now.
Parties are being held under the
UniOdti States statute, but is it ap
piioable to the live tribes? It was
not*when passed.
town nearly impassable where they
cross the creeks. The road from the
Jlslaud ford, for instance, needs at-
tention at onee. The bridge in the
southwestern part of town is unsafe
and at the only other available
crossing the mud is so deep that a
team with any load at all cannot
pull through. A few dollars spent
oa repairing the bridge would make
it safe again and might possibly
save tbs city a damage suit. This
is one of the most important roads
leading to town, tor it is the direct
road to Eli and the country adjacent.
Much of the trade from the vicinity
of Eli and south of Eli is now going
to Catoosa uud Tulsa that would
■come to Claremore were the roads
kept in good condition. In this dull
time of year we cannot afford to let
other towns get the trade that
naturally beiougs to us. Let us oe
awake to all our interests.
THE U. 8 COURT OF APPEALS DOCKET
Why not begin now to keep the
Claremore cemetery in good condi-
tion? In a short time it will be
necessary to procure a guide to find
it. A little work can easily make
it a beautiful place.
The Denison Herald calls atten-
tion to the fact that “The mother of
Funston and his father, too, lived
in Iola.” Do not know that there
is anything remarkable in their
living in the same town.
The reason the Texas legislature
raised the price of license on circus
performances in that state was that
that great body of illustrious wise
men thought itself a sufficient circus
for any state—even Texas.—Denison
Herald.
The executive committe of the
national Democrats party is raising
funds and preparing literature for
the next presidential campaign. It
is yet a secret what arguments the
bosses will advunce to persuade in-
telligent voters that the Democratic
party and its principles have proven
anything except failures. It will
take more than a campaign fund and
doggerel literature to persuade the
people that the last successful dem-
ocratic standard-bearer redeemed
even the slightest pledge of
the party. Little confidence will be
placed in the political demagogery
now being hatched by the Demo-
cratic incubators. The people know
when they are being served by an
executive who places patriotism and
enduring government ubove party
and patronage. Aside from a few
disgruntled disappointed office-seek-
ers and kickers there is heard little
complaint of the present administra-
tion of national affairs.
Joplin, Mo., rejoices over the fact
that the value of her zinc output for
the past year equals the value of the
product at Cripple Creek. Of course
it cannot last forever, but for many
years yet Klondike will tempt but
few Jopliuites.
Delaware had a public whipping
recently, at which fifteen petty of-
fenders were punished. Her exam-
ple might be followed with profit,
for it is the opinion of many in-
formed persons that a few lashes in
addition to a jail sentence might
render petty offenses less numerous.
For some time past Collinsville
has been coming to the front in
great shape. Now, when the rail-
road is almost in sight, there is
some apprehension that the railroad
company may find it convenient to
build a town of their own. If they
do, Collinsville will be compelled to
move. __
Is it possible that Claremore will
permit all the towns in the Chero-
kee Nation to outdo her in patriot-
ism? Nat a whisper is heard con-
cerning the observation of Decora-
tion day, and from the oppressive
silence on the subject one would
think even the Fourth of July an un-
known quantity here.
The last issue of the Purcell
Register contains a spicy article
favorable to single statehood. This
is not a new theme with the Regis-
ter, as it wa6 oue of the first, i! not
the first Territory paper, to espouse
‘the cause of single statehood The
prospects are very favorable now
that Bro. Walker will have oonsid-
erable oompany in the future.

Some of the newspapers la the
Indian Territory are advocating
sanding a delegate to congress to
protect the Interests Of the Indian
country. This was tried by Geo. E.
Nelsoa three years ago, and tho
result proved not only expensive but
fruitless. Thsre is no doubt that
tho people of the Territory ought to
have a representative in congress,
hut first of all there should he a
change of government.
The'Continuous wet weather has
of the waii leading to
EDUCATE THE YOUTH.
There is no question us to the ur-
gent necessity of establishing public
schools in Claremore. The time is
present when the youth of the city
demand knowledge other than thut
gleaned upon the streets and from
uncertain sources. The moral, in-
tellectual and political influences of
the generation all but grasping the
anthority of government should be
guided along the pathway of educa-
tion, the ultimate end of which
should be virtue, advancement and
good citizenship. Without educa-
tion the full enjoyment of life can-
not be the portion of man. Educa-
tion is an art, drawing out or de-
veloping the faculties, of training
human beings for the functions for
which they are destined. The direct
utility of education includes preser-
vation of life and health, knowledge
of moral relations, knowledge of
language, cultivation of taste, train-
ing youth up to be intelligent, vir-
tuous, active men and women,
capable of turning tbeir talents to
account in whatever situation they
may be placed. Education is a
priceless gem and by it the youth in
the early dawn of the twentieth cen-
tury of light look deep into the past,
following the illustrious learned of
all ages. While every bov or girl,
man or woman may not reach the
sublime heights of masters of educa-
tion, they may with proper training
become better fitted for their sought
stations in life. The youth of today
abould be prepared for the responsi-
bilities of tomorrow, and the respon-
sibilities resting upon the present
generation are of great magnitude.
Shall the youth of Claremore attend
public school or shall they await a
more oonvenient season? This ques-
tion should be discussed by the city
council, by friend with friend and
neighbor with neighbor.
New Rate.
Insurance rates have advaneed re-
cently 25 per cent over old rates.
This advance is provisional, that
certain precautions are not ob-
served. Tho now requirement is
that each Merchant keep two bar
roll of water, within twenty feet of
his store, each barrel to contain in
solution one peck of salt and eight
ounces of 'sulphuric acid. Two fire
pails must be kept near them. The
above change does not apply to
dwellings or farm risks.
