NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. N]NjNN1NW s.

The summer season is fraught
with many political schemes.
Muskogee is trying to create an
other political office-to /. make
room at the public crib for another
one of her statesmen, we suppose .
The latest is congressional dele
gate. What would he represent?
We are not territory-neither
are We legal or political entity.
AS far as giving advice or informa-
ton to the authorities at Wash
ington and securing favorable leg
islation is concerned, he would
avail US nothing. The United
States have paid representatives
here, whose duty 1T is and who
can correctly and accurately de-
termine our wants and needs, and
secure favorable action in our be-
half. And it is certain that for
the present, men of the experience
and executive ability of Hon. J.
George Wright are of infinitely
more value to us than the selec-
ton of one of our numerous poll
ticians as committee of one" to
beg at the door of a congressional
committee.

They can sell you anything you need,

specialties such as spool cotton silks,
corsets. ladies' gloves. ladies' cloaks hats,
and trimmings. There was a travelling
man in Richmond some days ago selling
push-carts and step-ladders. But the
drummer who has the hardest work to
do Is he who carries two or three large
| trunks of boots and shoes, dry goods.

has to unpacl and pack up again at every
city and town where he has a prospective

the biz wine house and is allowed carte
