HAS A "sTAK" IN SIGHT
A Twenty-Year-old Marriage Certifl-
cate in Demand

cate IN demand
A letter, which is remarkable in more
ways than one, has been received at the
county clerks office from former IrEi-
dent of this county. Probably it would
be better to give the letter just as it
''wus writ" in order that the reader may
not be confused as to its actual import:
vINTA, Indian Territory,

Mr.. Comfy Clark. You Will Doc me a

pleas excuse poor ritting and spling.
The letter bears the signature of Mrs
Charloty Stubs. Whether the writer
has reference to "stak'' of the Klon-
dixie order or the kind of which the res
taurateur sings prolific praises is left
to the imagination.
The communication was transferred
to Deputy Clerk Kutz. Away back on
one of the dusty, cobwebbed shelves in
the recorders office was found the mar
riage certificate asked for. 1t was is
sued just twenty years ago and is now
on its way to Mrs John Stubbs, "weda."

DOCTRINE MoDIFIES BELIEF
Man Has Become as One of Us to Know
Good and Evil

At Caledonia hall the pastor, Rev. A.
A. Rice, spoke on the subject "How the
Doctrine of Righteousness Modifies
Christian Belief Regarding Mans Nat
ural Condition" Text, Gen. ii-22:
"Man has become as one of US to know
good and evil
In brief he said: "The present revo-
luton in Christian theology which gives
us such terms as the new theology
progressive orthodoxy" etc, is occa-
stoned by the worlds familiarity with
ard belief in the simple doctrine of
Righteousness. If righteousness is su
preme even to being, as scripture says,
the kingdom of heaven, then some other
doctrines which have been thought i'm
portant must take i secondary place and
perhaps no place at all. Righteousness
begins the revolution at the root of the
Christian system at the belief regarding
mans natural condition. 1t first sue
cessfully attacks the old idea of the fall
of man to total depravity. If the doc
trine of righteousness be true total de-
pravity must be false, for those who
advocate imputed sin and race depravity
make use of the very foundation of
righteousness which is the knowledge of
SUOu anu tNll anu 6AUlDlI Ill lHtlI very
act it's chief power or force, which is an
adherence of the depraved state, and
all this is prima facie evidence that their
depravity Is not total. This declaration
made by righteousness against mans
totality of evil is equivalent to saying
that he is in possession of the very fun
damentals which lead to a life of total
good, i. e., man has the knowledge OF
good and evil which in itself holds tha
germs of aversion for evil. The con-
dltion of the natural man then as shown
by the doctrine of righteousness is a
condition of promise. He lacks not in
the foundation for life, but has yet to
build on that foundation. Righteous in
nature but not perfect in character.

"THE GENTLEMAN"
Rev. Burt Estes Howard-First Pres
byterian Church

In the First Presbyterian church yes
terday morning the Rev. Burt Estes
Howard took for the theme of his dis
course "The Gentleman" In part he
said: "The term gentleman, which was
originally broad and inclusive, has come
to be a shrunken, shriveled thing, hav-
ing reference solely to the observances
of conventional etiquette; the result is
that good many men pass as gentlemen
who are really little more than educat-
ed swine.
when we come to analyze the word
gentleman. we find it originally desig-
mated the man who most nearly repre-
sented the ideal manhood of his people.
He was the man of the gems, or tribe, or
nation. You see at once what a broad
inclusive word it is, and with what no.
bility and dignity it is clothed. A gen.
tleman is one who elnbodies in himself
the highest and truest thought of his
people. He is the incarnation of the ma
tional spirit.
"There has been steady development
in the history of the world of the idea as
to what constitutes the highest type of
a man; or, in other words, as to what
constitutes the gentil~ man-the gen.
tleman. First it was brute force the
warrior type, the champion of battles
Second, it was a modification of the first
by the introduction of certain moral
qualities, and we have the age of chival-
ry, knight -errantry, the Crusades. This
was succeeded by the development of the
financier, the skilled money-maker and
this last has come down to today.
I'm all these ages there were men in
spired by other and gentler and higher
ideals; poets, philosophers, etc. but the
representative or gentilman at any
time is the kind of man the people as a
whole are striving to be. This is the age
of the rich man. 1t is the age when sue
cess is measured by neither muscle nor

It seems that the recent ruling of the
land department as to- mesquite being
timber, involves more serious. ques-
tion than the cutting Of trees for fuel.
A mass meeting was held last week in
Phoenix to demonstrate against the
ruling, and it was stated then that if
the present ruling stands there is not a
patent to land in the territory, obtain
ed under the Desert Land Act, that is
valid. IF this is true it is of vital in
terest to the people of Arizona that the
ruling be reversed.-Saff ord Guardian.
The above assertion is just {; trihe
broad. Tie ruling does not affe5t land
titles, to any extent, in the northern
portion of the territory, and consider
able land has been acquired, and more
will be, under the Desert Land Act.

altitude is too great, and the soil is not

honor on the republic.

An editor is the first to hear gossip
or scandal, indiscretions of men or
women, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, clandestine meetings, night
buggy rides, girls gone astray, flirta-
tions of married men, and in fact all
the neighborhood scandal, says con-
temporary. Editors generally know all
the. naughty doings in the community,
no matter how secret. If only half
they hear were published, divorce suits
would follow in some cases, ostracisms
in others, shot guns and gore, impris-
onment, desolate homes, shame, humil-
iation and misery. The editor learns
much of the shams and hypocrisy of
life, and it is wonder he believes in
anything on earth, in heaven or the
hereafter. People who abuse the edi-
tor loudest, sometimes owe their stand

One is forced to remark at the num-
Der of large cattle concerns closing out
this spring, among the most recent of
which are the Eureka Springs Cattle
Co., of Graham county, Duncan &
Speed and Hoefer, Duval & Co., of Co.
chise county. All are large concerns,
representing large capital, and have
been in the business for from twelve to
fourteen years, during which period
they have passed through depressing
times, and now that they have grown
older in the business, and can clean up
with snug sum on the side of profit,
they do not care again to chance their
capital, but are willing that some other
persons should take up the work where
they have left off. They have worked
hard and have gained a competency
which we hope they will enjoy, at che
same time those who follow after them
in the business have as good an oppor-
tunity to make money as those who
sold out-Stockman.

The Denver Stockman says: There is

gradual improvement, but it will be
several years before cattle are plenti-
full again. The man who buys good
breeding cattle and has place to put
them, is the man who will be able to
smile for the next few years.
