sOnaI Effects, and Articles Must
Accompany the Traveler.-Travel-
ers Should File Upon Departure a
Statement Of Articles LCarried
Abroad That They Desire to Bring
Back.
The recent edict of the treasury de-
partment at Washington, regarding
the entry of personal affects at the
ports of the United States under the
war revenue act, which restricts to a
certain extent the purchases of Amer
icaus abroad, is of special interest to
Ell Pssoans, as it will in a measure de-
termine the amount and mum Der of
articles which can be brought into this
city from Mexico.
The law provides that Americans ar
irving from abroad shall not be allowed
wearing apparel purchased abroad by
them. In order to have the articles
purchased by them in the United

agreement, and not the statute.
Would they enter into the con-
tract? If so, the statute would be-
come operative as to them. If
not, it would not.
Congress was legislatingin in view
of the contingency that they would
cOnsummate the agreement that it,
congress, had already agreed to;
and when this should be done,
there would be such a change of
circumstances as would give to 1t
the right to look forward and in
anticipation of the happening of
the event, to legislate in view OF
that contingency.
Legislation of a conditional
character, when its force is to de-
pend upon the happenings of some
future event, or upon some future
change of circumstances, Is not
unconstitutional.

The curse of most territory
towns is the cOnglomeratiOn of old
wooden shacks that surround the
business parts of the town and
make hazardous every substantial
and handsome enterprise OF the
city. The action of the MuskOgee
council in establishing fire limits
and rigidly enforcing the same
meets the hearty approval OF all
the best citizens. The men who
invest vast sums of money in
modern, up-to-date brick or stone
structures are entitled to such safe
guards and protection as the city
can afford them and it is mani
testify unfair to permit 'tinder-
boxes" erected in close proximity
to such structures. It's a blessing
that there are now adequate laws
for the safe and permanent pro
lection of the business portion OF
the city and we shall look to the
city fathers for the careful enforce
ment of such laws.-Muskogee

FIRST OF ALL, THE ROLL.

According TO the provisions OF
the Curtis law there can be no
allotment of land, nor anything
done in that direction till roll of
the citizens of the Cherokee nation
is fully completed. The plan is
fully set forth in section eleven Of
the Curtis law. The order
from the department of the interi-
or providing for the limiting of
holdings in the Cherokee nation
to so acres to each citizen is pre-
mature and impracticable until a
complete roll of Cherokee citizen
ship is fully completed.
The completion of the roll of
Cherokee citizenship as contem-
plated in the Curtis act is indefi-
nitely in the future. The new roll
of freedmen provided to made by
the Dawes commission will take
many months of laborious and
complex work. Then the COM
pletion of the general roll of Cher
okee citizens will take M any
months longer.

Judge John R. Thomas ex-
presses his belief in the soundness
of the decision rendered a few days
ago by Judge w. H. H. Clayton
of the Central district, in coal
lease case in which the validity Of
the Curtis act was called in ques-
tion. Judge Thomas utterances
from the bench it will be remem-
bered, have been in line with the
decision of Judge Clayton from the
time the Curtis law was enacted.
Months ago Judge Thomas gave
expression to the very identical
position now taken by Judge Clay

The information from Washing
ton is that there will be no town.
site commissioners for the Chero-
kee nation appointed yet awhile.
Another attempt at an agreement
will doubtless be made at an early
day, and pending that event, it
does not seem TO be the policy OF
the government to take any steps
toward enforcement Of the town
site provision of the Curtis act.
The townsite commissioners Tor
the Choctaws- and Chickasaws have
been appointed and have received
their instructions, and will pro.
ceed with their work soon.

Those who oppose the establish
ment of free schools in Vinita are
unable to give what would be
considered a valid reason for their
opposition. Independent of the
unsettled conditions which prevail
in this country a system of free
schools should certainly be estab-
tablished in a town of over $500 in
habitants. It's not enough for a
citizen to see that his own chill
dren are educated, but should in
sist that the whole rising genera
ton have opportunities for educa-
ton and culture. The masses
must be lifted to a higher plane of
living.

This bill provides that people who

editors, must be examined by this
board; and unless they pass the
examination they will not be per
mitted to publish newspapers in

The unaminity with which the
citizens of Ninita are taking
hold of the public school PROPOSE
ton now being agitated, is source
of satisfaction and graduation to
all who have at heart the moral
and intellectual advancement OF
the place. When the election is
called to vote upon the subject
there will be few if any dissent
ing votes. The question now Is,
how can we inaugurate the very
best school system possible with
the resources at hand? The sub
iect of education is a very fruitful
one. and one upon which we love
TO dwell. The kind of a pubic
school we want will not be sub
iect of disagreement. a gentle
man remarked yesterday that we
would only be satisfied with a
school so well organized and so
efficiently managed that all would
be willing to place their children
therein.

hNA Aht ohhNhAhNa
When Judge Clayton was read
ing his decision in the celebrated
coal case the other day, which will
change forever the manner of pay
ing royalties, he did not know
that sitting within the sound OF
his voice was Peter Harnois Will
son, whose misfortunes were
caused by a coal decision in Penn
sylvania, twenty-five years ago.
Then he was wealthy; a baron,
"Brick" Pomeroy called him. He
had a palace and his team was
kept in New York city and he Wed
with old Commodore Vanderbilt
and Bonner when he drove out
Harlem way, and his name was in
mems mouths and it was rumored
about that he would succeed ST.
mon Cameron in the United States
senate. But Peter H. Wilson yes
terday and Peter H. Wilson then
are different men, Jere Black was
his counsel, but not all the law
yers could save his fortune. lie
came out of his big coal case worth
$4,000, at 40 years of age, yester-
day he could not have bought a
ton Of coal if his life depended up
on it. The man never drank a
drop of whiskey in his life, but his
$4,000 vanished as the mists of
the morning. Under an assumed
name he has been digging coal in
the territory; the strike came on
and he went out with the boys.
His history-well, let it pass; his
wife then, now lives in her old age
in luxury, his son is an attache at
the court of st. James.
When Wilson goes back to work,
as he will, it will be to work until
Gabriel comes, and the girl who
married him for wealth, the wo-
man who left him when his fortune
was spent and the son who would
not speak to him if he met him on
the streets of South McAlester,
will they care? The man whom
fortune tossed to the top of the
wave cannot now get out of the
trough of the sea. Tomorrow or
the next day or the next the sun
may peek through the windows OF
his room and kiss the grey locks
as they cover the forehead of the
dead: tomorrow or the next day
or the next Gods mercy may
shine on the grey locks and send
sunshine into the soul of Peter
Harnois Wilson.-South McAles-
ter Capital.

The decision of Judge Clayton
relative to the constitutionality OF
the Curtis law rendered in a coal
lease case has caused much COM
ment among Cherokees. 1t is in
terpreted to mean that as the Cher
okees did not consent to the allot-
ment of land, even though it be
temporary, that it could not be
forced upon them. Judge Clay
toms utterances upon this subject
will have the effect to embolden
the citizens of the Cherokee ma
tion in resisting the enforcement
of that measure. That Clayton is
right there is little question in the
minds of the best lawyers in the
country who have Investigated the
matter.
