THE Commercial club of Kansas
City has endorsed the movement of
the towns of the Chickasaw nation
to secure townsite legislation. The
strength of this endorsement is
very great and highly desirable
and added to that of the St. Louis
Chamber of Commerce ensures the
support, for the measure of the
mission delegation in congress.
With such influences at work for
us there is certainly a bright pros
pect for a realization of the ARD
MoREITEs cherished hopes for the
enactment, by the present congress
of a townsite law.

AS will be seen from the letter
of Mr.. Douglas which appears in
the ARDMOREITE this morning
another champion has been added
to our ranks in the person of Sen
ator Platt, who introduced in the
senate the tOwnSite bill known as
the Flynn bill and which has pre-
viOusly been published in these
columns Mr.. Platt as chairman
of the committee on Indians affairs
will no doubt secure the favorable
action of that body for the measure.
From the tone Of Mr.. Douglas
letter it would seem that it was
only after an extended conference
with him that Senator Platt was
induced to father the bill. For
the good work done, Mr.. Douglas
is entitled to the full appreciation
Of our people That he is per-
forming his whole duty and is due
a better support than so far has
been accorded him cannot be
questioned.

THE Cherokee delegation, head
ed by Chief Harris, seems to think.
|. from the assurances that they re-
ceived from President Cleveland
IN an interview a few days ago,
that ne will not permit any radical
legislation looking towards the
opening of this country at the
present time. President Cleveland
has always shown himself to be a
good friend to the Indians and but
for his and other officials actions
last year the Dawes Commission
never would have made Second
trip to the territory for the pur-
pose OF giving the Indians another
chance to treat. However the
opinion has obtained at Washing
ton, and is supported by the report
of the Dawes Commission. that if
will be better for the Indians TO
make change; and the sooner the
better for them. Whether this is
true or not, the president can
hardly fail to believe it, with so
much testimony before him; and
that testimony from men in whom
he placed the utmost confidence
and whose appointment and selec-
ton were given his personal atten-
ton. Then if he is friend to the
Indians and believes it is to their
best interest to make a change and
become citizens of the United
States, it is reasonable to suppose
that he will not attempt to prevent
legislation looking towards this
change. 1t may be possible. that
the president will use influence TO
continue the Dawes Commission
and give the Indians another chance
to treat; but if this is not done.
the Indians may look for radical
changes and need not expect the
president to go very far to prevent
'he legislation that will bring about
he changes. Indian Citizen.

UNJUST ACCUSATIONS.

THE News has never endeavored
to rob any citizen of Ardmore of
the right to work for the enhance
ment of the interests of his town
in any legitimate way 1t has only
cOntended that Mr.. Douglas, in
accepting the appointment as town
site delegate, surrendered his priv
/ ilegeS as a citizen of ArdmOre and
became the representative of the
Indian Territory. As he is clothed
with almost potential power as such
delegate by advocating the ad-
vancement of Ardmore alone he is
liable to work irreparable injury
to every other town in the terri
tory. There is nothing that so
disgusts public men as supreme
Selfishness in endeavoring to attain
private ends while serving in Il
public capacity. No, the News
has no desire to prevent any citi
zen of ArdmOre from bOasting his
towns claims to public preferment,
but it does condemn vigor-
ously condemns Mr.. Douglas at
titude at Washington. Let him
! transact the business for which he
has been appointed in an open and
vigorous manner. Then he may
boost Ardmore to his hearts con-
tent.-Pauls Valley News.
If after the explsna ions of Mr..
Douglas as to why he iClks of Ard
more, more than OF any other
town, the News persists in its
ideas of any Unfair boa ting
it cannot understand tle cope of
its comprehension. Surely the
News must know that the pro-
visions of the bill asked for are
general, applying to all the towns
of the Chickasaw nation. What
ii does for ArdmOre, it will do for
Pauls Valley and every other town
embraced in the territory it seeks
to cover.
If the editor of the News were
in Washington it would be natural
Tor him to draw his comparisons of
general existing conditions from
Pauls Valley, for he certainly
could be better posted as to his
own town.
If Mr. Douglas was seeking
special legislation for Ardmore,
there would be room for a protest.
but he is not and none of his
actions can be so construed.
Just such little petty efforts to
stir up strife are uncalled for to
say the least and should be dropped.

IT. HE Indiana State heard OF health has
issued an edict eainst the slate. and
In the public schools of Hcosierdon this
utensil will be known no more. Moreover.

every article In 1t
nv nuE shall be washed with
disinfecsauts every
SCHOOL, day., DAY, ana - tnas , un,
DnnM children shall not tie
permitted to attend
the school sessions The Indiana board
or health has become convinced that
in the promiscuous intercourse Of the
schooiroom Is to be found the source OF
no little disease: hence Its precautionary
orders. For states and slate pencils writ
ing paper and lead pencils are to be sub
stituted, it being argued that paper after
having been used is destroyed, whereas
the slate endureth according to the greater
or less destructive capacity OF its owner
To anyone who has observed a boy clean
ing his slate by splitting upon it and then
wlping it dry with his sleeve, the inter
position OF the health authorities in the in
terest of sanitary cleanliness will appear
to be entirely right and proper.
The schoolroom Is the gathering place OF
children of all conditions in life. The rich
and the POOR, the good and the Vicious the
healthy and the unhealthy, the clean and
the unclean all congregate there and are
in close communion for several hours a day
Even before the inicrobe theory was fully
demonstrated to bc closely related to fact
there was natural prediction Of school
directors and school teachers for measura-
BILE cleanliness on the part of the pupils,
but the achievements In this direction left
q great deal to be desired. Since 1t has
been esta ablished, however, that disease may
be generated or communicated in ways
never before dreamed OF. 1t is n Commend
able step on the part OF the Indiana school
authorities to insist uEOn personal Clean
hness in all who attend school and to pro-
vide for the removal of all things that can
possibly be dangerous to health.
Perhaps the school nicrote has had its
proper share of attention In other States
and cities. Ifit has not, its character, dis
position and habits should be studied and
investigated and it should be treated ac-
cording to its deserts.

PETITIONED
BY THE
WORLD.

years the signatures to this petition have
been patiently but persistently collected
by Miss Frances T. willard and Lady
Henry Somerset, and at last the volume
is to be placed into the hands of the ruler
OF a nation which boasts that on it possess
sions the sun never sets, and from whose
potent Influence the promotion OF the cause
which these ladies have So mIch at heart
is confidently expected. This immense
petition has been reduced To the dimcn-
sions OF volume, having been photo
graphed in sections ana Ia handsomely bound.
Thus, it presents the form of a historic
document III compact form, not only of
contemporaries interest. but which eau
not fail to attract the attention of the
future historian. because it embodics the
hearts desire of seven millions of women.
IL Is a pray n 5 moving as a vivid rei,lZa-
ton of sin AID sorrow eau make it.
The petitioners are not extreme in their
request. They do not ask for protihiiiou,
but merely Tor a restriction OF two great
evils. So far as the abuses of tue liquor
traffic are concerned. every right minded
person will hops that they may succeed
in having them abated. As regards the
shocking results that follow the unre-
stricted trade in opium, 10 voice will be
raised in opposition to- any movement the
object of which is to confine that trade
within legitimate channels. The great
ocean of humanity is sire wn with lumber
less wrecks that cau ba trace To tile rocks
and quicksands OF overindulgsnce in strong
drink and the deadly drug OF the poppy.
This petition may not perhaps accomplish
the desired end. Tor factors are TO be
reckoned with over which even the Queen
of Great Britain and Empress OF India has
no control. but il will surely give an
impetus to the reform at which it aims
and stimulate public sentiment not only
in England, but else where.
