THE DAWES COMMISSION

The Dawes Commission will visit
Purcell next Thurday May 81, Our
people should at once take action
having for it's object proper repre-
sentation ut the meeting, and also ar
ranging for visit to this city. Sure
" the commission Will not give Ard
more the go by, but, if our people go
into the sulls and by their actions
say, "well, we are here, the largest and
best town in the territory, you can
come and see us, or stay away as
YOU like" they will be very apt to Ac-
cept the latter alternative. We don't
believe our business men as q whole
are made up that way, but there is no
denying the fact that some of them
are too stubbornly inclined. Because
we have been disappointed two or
three times in the past, in securing an
expected visit from these agents OF
the government, ia no reason tor sulk-
ing in camp, but on the contrary
should stir us up to removed energy il
that direction. The towns on the
other side of the territory tave al.
ways b:eu jealous of Ardmore and
never fail to try to create the impress
sion at headquarters that outside o.
Muskogee aud o"uth McAlester there
are no lrgiIima.e claims for govern
mental recognition. The way to con
tIadict that falIacy is for Ardm3re tt
get hustle Oh her dormant ener9ie
and go forth to battle regardless o
the few dimes it VIII cost them to dC
so. OF course money is scarce ant
times are hard, SO are opportunities
Now let everybody forget for fey
days their jeaInusics and sclti-hncs
and atleast use one toward days etfo
securing u visit from the Dawes com
mission.

Fifteen FreehoIders.

The Board of Election Commissioners
met yesterday at the City Hall. with
Mayor Ebert in the chair.
The appointment of precinct officers of
registration was discussed. and Registrar
Evans aud Auditor Broderick displayed
wide difference of opinion on the subject.
Evans said he understood that the Demo-
cratic County Committee had submit ted
list of names of officers to the commission,
aud be had not time to Investigate their
fitness or unfitness for the positions.
That's matter you've nothing what
ever to do with" remarked Broderick.
Evans replied he believed it came under
his jurisdiction, and Broderick retorted
that ne was mistaken, as the commission
ouIy shall appoint these men.
City Attorney CTeswell announced he
would not vote for men selected by either
party until he had satisfied himself regard
ing their character He would oppose
wholesale appointments and railr oading of
names.
Andy Clunie said that the Democratic
County Committee was willing to sub
nit the list to the commission, but not TO
Registrar Evans. The Commissioners
could make their selections and then il
was Evans duty to swear them in. After
further discussion of an informal nature

City Surveyor Fitzhugh moved that the
Registrar be requested to notify the differ
ent parties that it is necessary to select
fifteen freeholders for the purpose of
drafting new charter. 1t was adopted.
The following resolution, also offered by

Resolved. That it Is the sentiment OF this COM

should be selected by non- partisan conven-
ton. each party selecting a certain number of

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

THE MANxMAN.-This is the latest and
by all odds the best Of Hall Gaines novels
The subject matter of the story is, of
course, love, the never-ceasing tragedy of
man and woman's relations, but treated
with such mastery power, with such
force and brilliancy that 1.-The Manxman"
may easily challenge comparison with the
best novels of the latter part of the century.
The scene OF the story Is laid in the Isle of
Man, and so vivid and lifelike are the de-
scriptions that one seems again 10 be wan
deriDg through the streets of the sunny
little towns and inhsling the fragrance of
the violet and hawthorne as one trudges
along the country roads of this bright
little gem Of the sea. Mona, with its soft
summer days, its impetuous storms. its
fresh spring and autumn mornings, tremu-
lous with the songs of the lark and thrush,
its rich green that so0thes both eye and
heart, Its quaint people with their inde-
pendent ways and their thousaDd-year-old
customs, all come rushing back as wildly
as If seen only yesterday. And amid
these fair scenes move the characters OF
the story through joys and sufferings,
through abasements and sriumphs, to de-
velop and teach the old Christian lesson
