The bill 10 legalizo the Choetaw

ported by the eommitte to whom IL
was referred and It's passage rec
commended. Ii this bin passes II
viii work future hardship on the
nation in many ways. There will
be other such leases made and a
premium will be put on monopoly
that will hinder the development
Of the coal interests IN the nation
TO such an extent that the Choc-
taws will wish many time that
the matter had been watched more
closely and the thing prevented.
We trust that something may be
done yet to bring about such an
influence at Washington to kill the
measure.
--Chetopa Advance: Mr.. j..
D. Conderman has the prettiest
yard of blue grass in the city. 1t
is thick and vigorous and there is
hardly weed to be seen in it.
lie says he has learned how to
cultivate blue grass. About the
first of June, earlier if the season
is dry, but little later if it is wet,
he stops cutting it. In his opin-
ion the cause of its being killed
out during the dry part Of the
summer is the habit that some
have Of keeping it moved with a
lawn mower too close to the
ground. Mr.. Conderman says he
has learned these facts by sever
al years experience *** We
understand that the attendance in
our schools on the part Of the col
ored children is very meager.
This Is matter that demands
the attention of those who have
the enforcement of our laws in
their hands. In the Indian Ter
ritory and in many portions of the
south a great cry has been going
up for years that they were denied
all educational privileges. Here
we have provided everything to
their hand, have secured for them
competent teachers, and will pro-
vide books for those unable to buy
them. Yet they fail to appreciate
these advantages and are allowed
by their parents to roam the
streets at will They are not only
growing up in ignorance and indo-
lence, but through this school of
vice-the street-become roughs
and law breaking citizens. We
have a compulsory educational
law in this state, and the parents
Of the colored children ought to
be notified that if they do not send
their children in school they will
be compelled to do so. The pub
lie welfare demands that these
children be in school instead of
on the streets. Those who pass
through the school of the street
often graduate in the penitentiary.
We hope this matter will secure
the attention its importance de-
mands.

THE cATTLE MUST MOVE.

Information just received from
undoubted authority is to the ef-
feet that the original order for the
removal Of all cattle from the
Cherokee strip by October 1st,will
be enforced. Two weeks ago it
was announced that a modification
of the order had been secured, ex-
tending to December 1st, but this
statement, 1t seems, was in error.
1t is probable this "does up" the
Cherokee nation for $500 of
lease money, the amount due since
July lst, for il is hardly probable
there is any way Of enforcing
payment.

PRESIDENT DIAz, of the Mexi-
can republic, is maturing a plan
for the reorganization and reduc-
ton Of the army Of that country
His intention is that it shall here
after consist Of only volunteers,
thereby eliminating the criminal
class which forms a large portion.
AS almost any conceivable change
in the army of that country would
be an Improvement, 1t Is to be
hoped Mr. Diaz will receive the
necessary encouragement from his
congress. The retired list is very
heavy indeed and it is proposed
to reduce it by bringing some of the
officers back into service and plac-
ing others Of them in the various
branches of the civil service.

THE United States law creating
courts for this territory needs such
alteration as will give commission
ers authority to dispose of the
multiplicity of petty criminal
cases which arise under the Ar
kansas code. There is no reason
or even good sense in n man being
taken a hundred miles for trial on
charge which is punished by a
ten dollar fine and congress should
remedy this defect at the earliest
possible moment. The attorneys
and citizens Of Muskogee, McAlis-
ter and Ardmore, and possibly the
court officials, may object to such
a change as suggested, but courts
are not established for their ben
eft. The convenience of the peo-
pie is paramount to all personal
interests involved and if this mat
ter was properly placed before
congress we have no doubt favorr
able action could be speedily
secured

THE census Office has finished
the count Of all the schedules in
hand, comprising the returna from
all but 12,000 of the 43, 900 and odd
districts into which the country
was divided. The total popula-
ton counted is 62, ,696, ,955, but it Is
estimated that the districts yet to
come il will increase the total to
Ga, 100000. The latter figure may
b be taken as the population of the
United States, July /, subject to
variation Of u few thousand when
the final revised count is made
The population of the country
shows an increase of about 80 per
cent, and the greater part of this
is in the western and southwestern
states. The official and final count
will be required to settle the rank
OF some Of the commonwealths,
the race being particularly close
between Iowa and Massachusetts
for ninth place, and between Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Georgia for
seventh place. Kansas and Wis
consin are neck and neck for the
honor of standing fifteenth in tho
sisterhood, and Minnesota will
have to depend upon the result of
her count for beating New Jersey
in the contest for nineteenth place.

The z~an is sae longest-livsa

The swan is tae lpEgest-livsd 4
bird, and it is asserted that it has
reached the age of 100 years
Knauer, in his work entitled
"Naturhistoriker," states that he
has seen falcon that was 1862
years old. The following exam
pies are cited as to the longevity
Of the eagle and yulturo: A sea
eagle was captured in l7l5, and
already several years of age, died
l04 years afterward, in 1919; a
white headed vulture captured in
1905, died in 1926, in one Of the
aviaries of Schoenbrun castle, near
Vienna, where it had passed IFS
years in captivity. Paroquets and
ravens reach an age of over 100
years. The life of sea and marsh
birds sometimes equals that Of hu-
man generations. Like many
other birds, magpies live to be
very old in state of freedom, but
do not reach over twenty or TWEEN
ty.fye years in captivity. The
nightingale lives but ten years in
captivity and the blackbird fifteen.
Canary birds reach an age of from
twelve to fifteen years and in their
native islands reach much more
advanced age.

THE police officers of New York
have been instructed to enforce
the new law intended to stop the
use of cigarettes by children in the
streets. 1t reads: "No child ac-
tually or apparently under l6
years of age shall smoke or in any
way use any cigar or cigarette or
tobacco in any form whatsoever,
in any public street, place or re-
sort" This may, in the "small
boys" mind, detraet much from
the manly appearance of a boy,
but it will no doubt facilitate his
mental and physical development
as well as add to the comfort of
the public generally.

THERE is a good prospect for
Guthrie losing the capital and Ok
lahoma City gaining it. While
the Republicans generally we're
looking after the organization Of
the legislature on a party basis
the Oklahoma City members were
laying for the capital. Although
her members we're Republicans
they formed a combine with the
Democrats and Alliance men and
secured an endorsement OF this
course by their constituency.
When it comes 10 question OF
party interest or personal interest
it is surprising how quickly a man
can change his position.
