GLiMPSES OF MODERN GERMAN CULTURE
BY kuno Frencke, professor at Harvard lIniver.
sity. New York: Dodd, Mead 4 Company
The fourteen papers which constitute this
volume have appeared previously in the In.
dependent the Bookman and the Atlantic
They are gathered here in single work.
with preface which explains that they are
written in the desire to show the tremen-
dous struggle which is now in progress in
the moral, political social and religious
fields, bringing out the most striking char
acteristics of the German nature. He speaks
particularly of the strife between church
and state, between monarchy and democ-
racy, between Industrial bondage and in
dustral freedom He believes that from
the very friction of these opposing tenden-
cieS there has arisen the new life in art and
literature which is characterized by such
names as Widenbruch, Suderman, Haupt-
man and Boecklin.

AS THE war is over, Col. W. J.
Bryan wishes to have his regiment
mustered out, so he can take the
stump for the Democratic nomi-
nees; but the report is circulated
that his services are further need
ed, and that his regiment will not
be mustered out. The Republican
press is trying to belittle him as a
soldier, but he remains mum.
When the time comes he will talk
out in plain English, and they will
feel the weight of his telling words.
He is saying nothing now because
it is not right for him to speak.
He is letting Miles and Alger have
the floor. When he speaks the
world listens.

PEOPLE generally condemn the
spendthrift and commend the close.
economical fellow who boards up
his money until he is rich. The
ARDMOREITE has far more respect
for the cheerful spendthrift than
for the close-fsted, miserly fellow
who doesn't eat enough or dress
decently, in order to make money.
The miser is curse, while the
spendthrift is a blessing. The
spendthrift helps others, the miser
only helps himself. One enables
Others to make a living by honest
toll, while the other boards up his
wealth and never ventures in pub
lie enterprises for fear he will lose
a dollar. He waits for the liberal
public-spirited man to build up
the town and enhance the value of
his property. He reaps the reward
of the push and enterprise of 9th
ers. When there are churches
and school houses and other pub
lie enterprises to be built the liber-
al-spirlted men must build them.
These clOse-fsted fellows kick and
complain and mouth" about how
much taxes they have to pay and
how they are constantly called up
on for this and that expense. The
stlngy, close-fsted man is always a
drawback to any town or commu-
nifty, for his ittleness often keeps
liberal men from contributing and
helping public enterprises.

The old saying that an honest
man is the noblest work of God is
becoming more evident every day.
Did you ever think how few men
there are whom you could implicit
ly trust with your property and
sacred honor9 Do you know of
anyone you would trust under any
and all circumstances? This is a
hard thing to write, but isn't it
true? Money-getting at any price
is bunting that high sense of hon
or that used to characterize the
Americans as a people. Friend
ship, honor, principle and a sacred
trust used to be held high above
all price. There was time when
we would sacrifice our life for a
friend or in defense of a trust. but
how is it now? To whom would
you go were you in need of such
friend to-day? Ordinarily speak
ing, we are just as honest as our
forefathers were, but when the
pinch comes we are not the true
and genuine men they were. We
are now selfish and sordid. Our
friendship is estimated in cents
and dollars. We want to know
what's in it for us-how many dol
l ana cents we can make out

PENSION COMIIssIoER EVANS

a growing evil that the department

ed as security for money loaned to
needy pensioners their pension GER
tlticates and vouchers, charging
them interest on the amounts so

is indulged in to greater or less
extent in most, if not all. of the

LAND CONDITIONS.

The Times management is In re
ceipt of many inquiries in regard
to procuring land in this Terrific
ry. To all such we would say thai
this is the Indians country anC
that the lands outside of the incor.
porated towns will soon be allotted
to the Indians individually fol
their occupation and use, but not
for sale. 1t will then be in a con-
ditiOn to rent or lease to good
farmers, but it viii be a long time
before it will be in a condition to
be sold or traded. Therefore, par
ties who are thinking of coming to
this Territory will either have to
settle in the towns or else be con-
tent to rent or lease the lands
Muskogee Evening Times.
In the opinion of the ARDMoRE-
TIE the Times errs in the above. A
provision of the agreement recent
ly adopted by the Choctaws and
Chickasaws says:
All the lands allotted shall be
nOn taxable while the title remains
in the original allottee, but not to
exceed twenty-one years from date
of patent, and each allottee shall
select from his allotment home
stead of 160 acres, for which he
shall have a separate patent, and |
which shall be inalienable for
twenty-one years from date of pat
ent. This provision shall also ap-
ply to the Choctaw and Chickasaw
freedman to the extent of his al
Otment. Selections for home
'teads for minors to be made as
provided herein in case of allot-
nent, and the remainder of the
ands allotted to said members
hail be alienable for a price to be
sctually paid, and to include no
ormer Indebtedness or obligation
ne-fourth of said remainder in
ne year, one-fourth in three years
nd the balance of said alienable
ands in five years from the date of
he patent.
This provision says that 16O
cres shall be separately allotted
)r a homestead, which shall be in
Iienable for twenty-one years, but
le remainder of said lands allot-
ID to said members shall be alien
Die for a price actually paid. Only 9
le-fOurth of said land can be sold :
one year, one-fourth in three Y
ears and the balance in five years >.
ON the date of the patent. After =
7enty-One years the 16O acres can :.
sold. The freedmen are not al !
wed to sell their land for twenty :,
e years. All lands are non-taxa- !.
= as long as held by the origi- d
l grantee. How long before the
otments will be made no one
ows, but the above provision ea
'tainly allows the Indians to sell
their lands except 16O acres
