THE sELF-CENTERED MAN.

The ideal citizen is not the man
with a single purpose, and not the
man who simply wants TO make
money, and keeps his eye fastened
upon the goal of wealth. But
rather the man who along with
great diligence in business, is
loo king also to the moral and so
cial advancement of the cOmmu-
nifty. The lf-centered worship
per of the golden calf will get lit
tie more of the good things Of this
life than others after all. a story
is told of an eagle sitting upon a
cake OF ice feasiing upon a frozen
laEh floating above Niagara Falls.

We have heard of the sale of
''blue sky," and of ''salted
mines," but it was reserved for
two Vinita men to consummate
ihe sale of a large school, lock,

yesterday by which Worcester
academy swallowed up Clark 8
Business college is unique in the
fact that it is probably the only
trade of the kind ever made.

Friday Judge w. T. Hutch

Friday Judge w. T. Hutch
ings and Mr.. Kerns of St. Louis
appeared before the Dawes and
Cherokee commissions and argued
the question of the Cherokee
Freedmen. Mr.. Hutchings is
representing the Cherokee Nation
and takes the position that the
Freedmen are only entitled to
whatever amount of land the
Cherokees may agree to give them,
while Kerns represents the
negroes and claims for them an
equal divide. Il is now a ques-
tion which is being considered by
the two commissions, and is high
ly probable that 40 acres is as
much as the Freedmen will GET

A report was circulated on the
streets this morning that a man
from Oklahoma, stopping at the
OK wagon yard, had smallpox.
The attention of the Board of
Health was called to the matter and
an investigation Immediately
made by them which proved the
report to be false. The report
originated from the fact that a
man from Oklahoma, stopping at
the o K wagon yard, had hard
chill, followed by a high fever.
He resumed his journey this
morning to his destination

The editor of the Stillwell Times

cause he was denied admission to
a coroner's inquest, and declines

Sergeant Major,

If every citizen in the Cherokee
nation had 50 acres of land that
was good enough to make a farm
there would be very little of that
kind Of land left. The proposition
of the Interior Department to
allow each citizen to occupy not
exceeding so acres is not ON un-
fair suggestion. There are a few
choice locations in the Cherokee
nation of great natural value, and
the land alone would on the open
market bring a high figure. To
knock of such locations to the
present occupants at So an acre
would be a great injustice to the
citizens of the Cherokee nation.

If the Cherokee and Creek COM
missions do not agree upon treat
les with the Dawes commission. it
will be their own fault. Then.
when the provisions of the Curtis
law are being rigidly enforced, it
will be useless s well as in very
bad taste to be railing at a condi-
ton that they could have pre-
vented. The government has been
patient and lenient in its dealings
with the five civilized tribes, so
those of them who refuse the lib
eral terms offered, will have TO
abide The consequences, and they
will have no just cause for COM
plaint.-Wagoner Sayings.

NO EXTENSION OF SESSION.

1t is encouraging to know that the
Democrats of the Legislature are prac-
tically a unit in opposition to an ex-
tension of the present legislative ses-
sion.
This is the proper attitude and the
people who must foot the bills are un-
%doubtedly with the Democrats on this
point.
1t is true the Legislature has accom-
plished practically nothing in the way
of general legislation, but it has cost
as much as if it had done its whole
duty and the taxpayers who foot the
bill are not in favor of the expenditure
of mor money to enable the body TO
make up for time deliberately wasted
in political flibustering at the begin
ming of the session.
The Democrats are warranted in tax
ing a firm stand against an extension
of the session. The situation is no OF
their making. From the very first day
they were ready to enter upon the work
for which they were called to the cap
ital, and the lower house, which they

and speak at the mems meeting Sun
day afternoon.
The path across the ice in the river
between Bellaire and Benwood contin-
ues to be traversed by large numbers
OF people. The moderate weather OF
the past two days has served to make
the ice at this point rather weak in a
few places, and people making the trip
cannot be too cautious. A Bellaire man
returning to his home from Benwood
yesterday across the ice went through
at a point near the "enwood ferry
landing. He succeeded in releasing
himself from his perilous position after
having received a very cold bath.
The spring schedule on the Wheel

The political free hooters at the head
of the Republican party, and who con-
trolled the majority of the Senate, are
wholly and solely responsible for the
delay. So intent were they on their
revolutionary schemes and so determin-
ed in their purpose to defraud the peo-
pie of their choice of a United States
Senator, that more than a third of the
session vas deliberately thrown away
in political flibustering and
ing in which the Senate constantly
avoided recognizing the House, the re-
volutionists at that time having a de-
sign to organize a rump House of their
own partisans.
In this way the time of the legisla-
tive session was wasted. If little or
nothing has been accomplished, the
people know where to place the blame.
The Democrats are right in refusing to
countenance a proposition to extend
the session.
If an extra session is deemed neces-
sary let the executive whose political
confreres are responsible for the situa-
ton shoulder the responsibility of call
ing it if he can be prevailed upon to
do So.

Ever since he(has been prominent

been particularly prominent in him
since upon his shoulders have rested
the responsibilities of the presidential
Office. Mr.. Mckinley is uncomfortable
under responsibility. 1t is oppressive
to him because it calls for strength and
backbone and means the avowal of
definite policy and action. AS far as
possible Mr.. Mckinley has avoided re-
s%ponsibility or got rid of it as soon as
possible by turning owe to commits

water on your breakfast table is a very

through a microscope, and note the de-

of disease.
Are we to stop drinking water then?'

No; but you will do well to mix with it

Could we, after freeing the FiIipinos
