Pink Carver, who is now in

The HAS Been"

r
ty, saith the preacher. =
What is more pitabie to behold
than a "Has Been" in public
lifel Here is young man lured
into politics He has been quite
successful in business. He has
married we'll. Children have been
born, unto him, His home life is
happy. There seems to be moth
ing more for him to desire.
In an evil moment, says the New
York Mercury, he is tempted to
enter the political arena. He gets
elected to the Legislature. He
makes a hit. He thinks there is a
great future before him. He sees
looming up seat in the national
house Oh representatives, beyond
that the senatorial toga. In his
widest DIRE ms he gets a misty
view Of the white house.
He has won his first inning.
Now for the second. He is sent
to congress. One term follows an
other. At last he secures seat
in the senate. He is there for six
years. He can eat in the senate
restaurant. He can frank his let
te-s. He can ride on free passes.
Life is all sunshine and roses.
But at last the turning down
time comes.
He is told to get off Of the
perch. If he does not get off he is
showed of. For .welve or fifteen
years he has neglected business.
He has forgotten everything use.
ful that he ever knew. He has
made no provision for old age.
All that IS left him is dignity
and he has no money to maintain
that. He IS nothing but poor
old "Has Been
Six months after he steps down
from his estate nobody knows him
or cares about him. The world
has rushed past him.
Other tools are eagerly pursuing
the pathway that he trod.
That pathway leads to the same
disappointment.
Such is ! political career for
nfnety nine out Of a hundred who
follow II.
Every state in the Union has
its full quota Of ex-goyernors. ex-
senators and ex-congressmen,
whom everybody has forgotten
or, If anybody does remember, he
cares nothing Tor them. They are
ciphers in the community.
Owing TO the swift rotation in
Office out in the extreme Yves
tern States these ex-statesmen are
very numerous, and they are al.
ways cursed with longevity. Very
little or no satisfaction Is to be
got out Of a political career in this
great republic Of ours.
The worst Of the whole matter
Is that almost every man, wheth-
er he has brains or not, thinks he
Is a born statesman. Many such
there are who prove the truth Of
the old adage: Fools step in
where angels fear to tread. =
Congress j. full Of just such
fools. But wait a few months OF
years. and they will be relegated
TO the great army Of HAS Beens,
and there will be none so poor as
to do them reverence. Their great
future will be al behind them.

The Money.
Question Again.

The question of the hour is the question of dollars
Men who own gold mines want the standard to be
single gold dollar. Men who own silver mines
want the standard to be silver. Men who own both
gold and silver mines (there are only few OF us
left) want gold and silver standard. We've got a
scheme. Why not make our dollars out of rubber?
That's a great scheme. Then they'll stretch. It's
pretty hard to make five dollar bill stretch over
ten dollar purchase and even we can't do that for
for you, but until they make rubber dollars We'll
come nearer to it than any store you know of.
Wen stretch one dollar fifty cents it will cover

it will cover splendid all wool fancy Cashmere

Mass Meeting Suggested.

Editor ARDMOREITE: AS the ARD
MOREITE seems much interested, In
townsite legislation, would it not be
good idea to bring to the front a
suggestion made by Mr.. L. P. Ander-
son at the townsite meeting few
weeks since? His suggestion was
that the merchants, each write to
parties, of whom they buy goods, or
in any maner do business with and
interest them enough in the matter
so they will see or write the con-
gressmen of their districts, asking
their support in this legislation.
Unless one stops to give the matter
thought they will be surprised to find
how much territory, and the number
OF personal solicitation great many
congressman will receive in this
manner. The banker will write all
his correspondents, the merchants all
his etc etc. land in this manner the
states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois,
and a number of others would be
reached and do far more good with
little or no expense, than sending
delegates to Washington.
would suggest that a meeting be
called, or in some way a committee
De appointed to draft such a letter
stating all necessary facts, so the
person receiving the same, may see
mat 1t is also important to theil
future that they should protect theil
trade in the Indian Territory.

der CHARGED with Handling Compress
cOtton-AeknowIedees Ills CUNT.

Deputy Marshal Charley Burns
came in today from Holder, having
in custody Hugh Conley whom he
arrested yesterday at Holder. He is
charged with and confesses to the
theft of two bales of cotton from the
compress yards last Saturday night.
When arrested Conley was on his
way to Sherman, Texas, with the
cotton.
Mr.. Burns was notified yesterday
morning of the fact that a man was
on the road with cotton and that
there was a strong supposition that
all was not right. He rode from his
lace over to Holder and there in
tercepted the young man. After ar
resting him and finding compress
tags on the cotton, Conley confessed
to the theft.
The p.'soner is a son Of II. Conley
the shoemaker of this city, than
whom q more honorable man does
not live in A-dmore. When brought
to town today the boy told his father
of his guilt whereupon the old
gentlemen only remarked, "what
you don't sell me you have been
stealing, then you are right where
you belong.
Mr.. Burns will take the boy to
Purcell tonight for trial before Com
missioner Gates, Judge Gibbons
being away from home.

WASHINGTON, JAN. 12.-The op-
position of the Cherokee Indians to
the proposed change of form of their
government was discussed at a COR
ference today between Secretary
Smith and the Cherokee delegation.
Tn party consisted of present Chief
Mayes, exChief Harris and Delegates
Slallwood, Young and Benge. They
made vigorous protest against the
proposition of the Dawes commission
ard urged that the proposed change
in form of government if made now
would be very detrimental to their
welfare. They cited the treaty
st pulations wade with them by the
e vernment and asked that they re-
main in force for the present. In
support of this request it was urged
that many Indians do not under
stand the English language and are
largely ignorant of the laws and
CT 3toms of the whites.
Progress, however, had been made
and in the course of time the Chero-
KEGS would be adapted to and would
favor the change of government and
agree to divide their lands in sever
atty

the aim of the government was to
