Dogs and Their A ffectfnns

1t has often been mooted as a vexed
question why all men of genius or great
ness are SO fond of dogs. The reason is
not far to seek. Those who are great or
eminent in any way find the world full
of parasites, toadies, liars. fawners, hypo-
critics. the incorruptible candor, loyalty
and honor of the dog are to such like water
in barren place to the thirsty traveller.
The sympathy of your dog is unfailing
and unobtrusive. If you are sad, SO is he,
and if you are merry, none is so willing to
leap md laugh with you as he
For your dog you are never poor; for
your dog you are never old; whether
you are in palace or a cottage he does
not care, and fall you as low as you may
you are his providence and his idol still.
-Ouida in North American Review.

Sudden Deaths.

Heart disease is by far the most frequent cause
of sudden DEATH which in three out of four cases
is unsupported. The symptoms are not generally
understood. These are: habit of lying on the
right side, short breath, pain distress in side,
back or shoulder, irregular pulse, asthma, weak
hungry spells, wind in stomach, swelling of an
kles or dropsy, oppression, dry cough and smoth-

ACCORDING to late decision of
Judge Green, of Oklahoma, the
government Indian schools cannot
compel the attendance of pupils
without their parents consent.
This case is more especially inter
esting as it stands without a prece-
dent. The case in question was
that of an Indian boy named Lin
coin, of the Iowa tribe, who was
placed in the government school
at Chilocco on the Cherokee Strip.
The boy was allowed to return
home last month and one week
ago, by force and against his will,
was returned to school. The father
had writ of habeas corpus issued
compelling the school authorities
to produce the boy in court and
show cause why he should not be
returned to his (the tather's) Gus
tody. 1t was maintained on
the side of the government
that they had authority to com
pei the attendance of Indian
children at the government school.
Judge Green takes the position
that congress has not provided for
compuls ory education of Indians,
and that the father is the natural
guardian of the child, whether
Indian or white. The custody of
the boy was given to the father.
The decision assumes some i'm
portance when it is remembered
that one-half the scholars in the
Indian schools are there without
their parents consent.

In every one of the five civilized
tribes the political factions which
represent all the corruption and
retrogression that has disgraced the
nations for years, were triumphant
in the recent elections. Joel Mayes
the arch -boodler OF the quintette,
was re elected chief of the Chero-
KEGS over the head of the great al
lotment progressive, Bushyhead.
In the Greek nation, Perryman,
notorious for his conspicuous COM
plicity in the Oklahoma steal, was
reelected. The Smallwood party
won in the Choctaw nation, John
Brown has strengthened his wire
fence around the benighted Semi
mole nation, and the Byrd party
has been given anew lease of pow
er in the unhappy Chickasaw oil
garchy. These fellows have the
rope; now let them proceed to
strangle their people to death. -

them. The trend Of public senti-
ment can easily be learned and
woe be unto the senator or coun-
cilor who igIores it. The govern
ment after all is only machine
and all are or should be equally
interested in the work done by
that machine. Those elected to
Office are only intrusted with the
temporary management of our gov
ernmental machinery and if any
improvement can be made that
would accelerate the working of
the machinery or improve the
quality of the work, those in
charge are expected to attend to
the same as servants ofthe people.
Probably the first important ques-
ton to be dealt with will be the
Outlet. The people expect council
to take action in the matter
promptly. All eyes are now turned
in the direction of the Strip lands.
What will be the ultimate dispo-
sition OF that country is shrouded
in mystery, but few months will
reveal all. The United States
seems determined to settle the
question of title finally and ulti-
mately at an early day, The
treaty stipulations of that govern
ment with us are supposed to pro-
tect our rights, and need empha-
sizing at this particular time. The
government should be reminded of
its solemn obligations respecting
the title to our lands. especially
that part of the treaty which guar.
antees that the lands of the Outlet
shall "never be included within
the limits of any state or terri
tory" Again, the advisability of
allotting the home tract will be
discussed both in and out of coun-
Gil, and a bill will no doubt be
introduced looking to that end.
The more this question is agitated
the more people are getting in
favor Of the measure. If we would
perpetuate this government and
secure our homes against the in
vasion of people from abroad and
monopolists at home we will be
compelled to individualize the
title to our land. All are in favor
of allotting the Strip as a last
resort and the same conditions
will ere long confront us here east
of ninety-six degrees.

IT looks now as though the third
party movement in the states
would be divided by the sub-treas-
ury scheme. This has been one Of
the pet ideas of the alliance but its
own members are as much divided
on this question as those out OF the
order. This, with the cheap land
loan fallacy, viii probably be sufii-
cient to preclude the possibilities
Of the third or peoples party doing
any very effective political work
next year As to the government
loaning money to the people at two
per cent. on land, seems absurd
besides being the rankest kind of
class legislation. In the first place
the government is not supposed to
have money to loan. Rather it
should be left in the peoples s
pockets. No more taxes should be
taken from the people than is
needed to run the government in
the most economical manner.

PUNISHED in the Fort Smith
Elevator, CLEANED from the Fort
Worth Gazette, we see a revival of
the story of the execution of VIM.
Grimett, who paid the death pen
atty upon the gallows at Tahlequah
for a crime he never committed.
The account is in the main true
but is sadly deficient as to dates.
This much to be regretted incident
occurred before the war and is only
one of many such occurrences.
Mistakes of this kind are unavoid-
able and are a strong argument
against the death penalty for crime.
Imprisonment for life is more fit
ting punishment for those who
have become so depraved as to be
beyond the control Of human law.
Time may soften the hardest Grim
inal and offer chance for reforms
and it also precludes the possibility
of taking the life Of the innocent.

NOT ALL HAPPINESS.

A few members Of the Downing
party seem to be greatly excited
as to the distribution of the spoils.
They have a handsome majority in
both houses but still are in a great
strait apparently as to who shall
occupy the different places Of
trust or profit. The scramble will
be just as great as if it was between
Nationals and Downings. The dog
that captures the bone shouldn't
go off and growl over it. The
trouble now seems to be that the
Nationals threaten to buy some of
the Downing men. That is too
bad indeed; the Nationals ought to
be ashamed of themselves to think
of such thing. None but Down
ing men should have a smell and
to be sure that an aspirant is really
a Downing the name should be
"blown in the bottle" so as to be
sure to get the genuine article. No
doubt many will say Lord
Lordl" when the fact is they are
the meanest kind of National men.
Every aspirant should be rigidly
examined and if he shows any
symptoms of ever having been a
National or having aided or abet-
ted the National cause he should
at once be relegated to the rear
where he belongs and where he
can associate with those Of his
own ilk, with the Nationals.

labor" Az present there are more
idle poor men than there are idle
rich ones. In fact the rich are sell
dom idle. All strikes and upris-
ings ia defiance Of law and order,
are due largely to the non working
classes in the large cities. The
farmers organizations to be useful
must make some effort to make
men better; must not only show
them the evil but teach them how
to avoid It.
