The editor of one of the newsi.

The editor of one of the newsi-
est and best dailies in the terri
tory that reach our exchange table
spoils many of his best efforts by
weaving in lot of Grecian myth
ology. He can scarcely write a
ten line "brevity" without the
mention of some mythical per-
sonage or without reference to
some eastern fable about which
the great masses of newspaper
readers know nothing and care
less. 1t is not necessary to name
this bright editorial scribe; we all
know him.

The LnoneKs Married.

Mr.. F. T. Looney and Miss Sally
Looney, of Barton county, Mo-,
came up from Vinita Wednesday,
after having failed in procuring
marriage license from Clerk An
derson. Not to be discouraged in
their purpose they obtained one of
Mr.. Lanford's teams and drove TO
Miami where they got a license,
got married, treated the town. Then
the Miami people did them a
rather mean trick by serenading
them and making them stand an
other treat, but they did so with
good grace, and came back to Fair
land Thursday morning TO take
the train for Missouri. .-Fairland

The man who insists that this
country should be thrown open to
the promiscuous sale of intoxieat-
ing liquors is inviting the greatest
calamity that could possibly hap
pen to it. II will indeed be sad
day for the Indian Territory when
such a thing should occur. Let US
hope that when a state constitu-
ton is formed that a strong and
effective prohibition provision will
be put into it.

government, together with the re-
spective functions of its Legislative,
judicial and executive departments,
the conditions required for AmeTi-
can citizenship and the duties and
rights of the citizen. These lessons
should of course give a conspicuous
place to the memorable events of
which our country has been the the
ater and which serve as landmarks
on her onward progress. They
should include a brief sketch of the
nations heroes, statesmen and pa

virtues the rising generation will be

The great need of a public
school system that will include the
rural districts of all this Indian
country is so manifest that it is
hoped that congress will make an
appropriation for carrying out such
a provision. The white children
are not alone without the facilities
of getting education. Most of the
Indians in the country are entire
ly without the means of education.
Let US have a school system that
will include all classes and condi-
ton fn the territory.

There are many and sufficient
reasons why Downing men should
be elected to the senate and lower
house of the national council this
summer. In the first place the
chief should have the support and
cooperation of his own party, and
not be antagOnized and crippled
by the opposition. In the next
place if the Downing party stands
for progress and not for conserva-
tism it should be placed in unre-
stricted power and given chance
to do something.
