Al WAR WITH THE ROAD.
Muskogee Said to be Quite
Unhappy.

There is said TO be war between
the NJ, K. & T. railroad company
and the town of Muskogee, grow
ing out of the prospect ofthe freight
division being moved to South
Canadian. An influential man.
possibly the owner of the hotel
site, informed the railroad people.
as reported, that they could take
their eating station and also their
freight division headquarters to
South Canadian or elsewhere if
they wished; that Muskogee would
very soon have another railroad
the east and west one. The said
citizen felt reasonably sure of his
ground, because the plan is for the
people OF Muskoges TO build the
east and west road themselves, if
need be. But lest the passengers
go hungry Vinita will enter the
arena. There is fine hotel fac
ing upon the railroad right-of.way
and so long as the two evening
trains run as at present Vinita is
the proper place to stop for supper. |
1t will not, by this kind of an ar
rangement, be necessary to erect
an eating house; simply change
the time card twenty minutes and
the obstacle interposed by Musko-
gee in refusing the hotel ground is |
circumven:ed. And if the railroa d |
company thinks proper to erect a
fine brick depot at Vinita, whey e
such an one is so badly needed, it
owns the ground and will have to
ask no one.

Lafayetre's Pose.

In her book, 1.-The Home of the
Lafayettes, Miss Edith Sichel mar
rates the following anecdote of the
friend of Washington and America:
On returning from his visit to
America in 1926 Lafayette stood for
his portrait. His sister, Mime. de
Montagu, was much embarrassed by
the thought that be would probably
have been painted with the declara-
tion of rights in his hand, but she
was too delicate to ask him.
On his first visit to her after his
return home she inquired what pose
be had chosen. her curiosity made
linn smile
well, my dear" he replied, II
am taking a walk-my hat and cane
in my hand-like this." And he imi-
tated the attitude he had described
"And the other handi" asked
Nine. de Montagu anxiously.
''It is in my pocket" answered
the general, (which is better than
having it in somebody else's."

Government ReneWs Lease on Court
Building.

Marshal Bennett telephoned up
from Muskogee Saturday night
that the government had renewed
its lease on the court building for
another year. This announcement
Judge Thomas made Saturday
night, and the news was received
by the large crowd present with
considerable enthusiasm. 1t was
not that Wagner was alarmed
about losing her court that some
complaint was made in the Say
ings on Friday just after learning
that the government had refused
to rent the building, but the ques-
tiOn did not seem to be very well
understood by any one. Marshal
Bennett stated that he had been
doing all he could to get the gov.
ernment TO renew its lease on the
building, and he did not stop
when informed by the department
of justice that the building would
not be rented. He urged the
necessity of the government to
continue to occupy the building |
and finally succeed in contracting |
Tor its lease a year, which is a
longer time than it has been prev
-ously leased under any former
,ontract.-Wagoner Sayings.

THE PAY OF PARLlAMENTS.

Beers Get th- Largest Salaries, but Our
Senators Have Valuable Perquisites.
So far as payments in hard cash
go the brawny burghers of the
Transvaal are decidedly the best off.
Quite recently the Boer parliament
increased the salaries of its men,
bers TO $4,000 a year for each indi-
vidual, as they can very easily
afford to do, when one remembers
the big tax rolls which the unfran-
chised uitlanders are compelled to
pay. But in actual emoluments the
United States senator probably re-
ceives a better reward. He gets
mileage and numerous minor fees
and privileges, which swell his an
nual income materially over its
nominal So, 600.
Great Britain, as every student
knows, gives her members of par
lament no salaries, although gov
ernment officials for the time being
are royalty paid. The first lord of
the treasury receives S25, 600, as also
do the foreign, home, colonial, In
dian and war secretaries. The lord
chancellor receives $4,000 per an
mum. But for the NJ. P. who does
not hold Office there is naught save
honor. Even the old privilege of
not being liable to arrest for debt
while an NJ. P. has been abolished.
The British colonies, however, do
not follow the example of the moth
er country. New South Wales and
Victoria allow their NJ. P.'s 81, 500
per annum, Canada and South Aus
tralia $1,000, with an additional
mileage rate for the former, and
Queensland $3.50, with mileage.
New Zealand representatives get
81, 200.
France gives its senators and dep
uties 81, 800, but there is a string"
to this salary which might be tried
elsewhere, in Vienna, for instance,
with good effect. Any member who
is twice called to order during a sit
ting forfeits half his salary for two
weeks. Cases exist where certain
fiery French deputies have lost their
entire years allowances in this
manner.
Belgium grants members of the
representatives, chamber $3.50 a
year and passes on the railroads,
but, curiously enough, makes its
senators work for nothing and pay
their own travelling expenses.
In the realms of the little queen of
Holland members of the upper
house are paid a sum equal to about
81. Is per diem for each session, but
since they meet only on 80 or 80
days in the year they cannot be said
TO clear much. In the second cham
Der $3.50 per annum, with travel
ing grant of 27 cents for every hour
spent on the railroad, are the allow
ances. Absentee Dutch lawgivers
forfeit their salaries, whether their
absence be caused by illness or not.
The new japanese parliamentary |
compels each member
of the national parliament to draw
annually from the treasury about |
s665. ANY member of the aristo-
cratic classes refusing to accept this !
salary through pride or other rea-
sons is subject to fine and dismissal |

CAVALRY IN FUTURE WARS.
The Art of the Dashing HOrsemRn VIII
Not BE Eliminated

The Art of the Dashing Horsemsn VIII
Not Be Eliminated.
1t has been said that the days of
dashing cavalrymen will soon be
over and that the art of riding will
become as purely pastime as the
art of sailing is destined to become
by reason of the introduction of
steam. This opinion is combated
very vigorously by Major Kunz in
his "Kriegs Geschichtliche Belt
rage" He believes that the uses of
cavalry have been changed, but that
its existence is not yet endangered.
On the other hand, he points out
that mere mounted men, as against
highly trained riders under the very
best leaders, are absolutely useless
today. Commenting upon the many
brilliant though unfortunate caval-
ry attacks executed by the French
in 1870, he says:
"First.-A frontal attack of cav
airy against victorious infantry can
only be justified when the aim is to
save time for the purpose of saving
the beaten army. The success of
such an attack is practically impos-
sible.
'Second.-Momentary success of
an attack against the flank of vic
torious infantry is possible. But
even such an attack must end in the
destruction of the force which un-
dertakes il.
"Third.-lf the enemy's infantry
is beaten, cavalry may be used to
advantage. But it must be faultless
cavalry, led by faultless, courage
Gus riders, men who are also perfect
in their knowledge of the history
and psychology of war. In such a
case no thought must be given to a
few hundred horses laundering on
the field. The enemy's infantry
must not be given time to assemble.
The cavalry must endeavor to head
off the fugitives, for the most dis
heartened of them will lead the
stampede. In the rear of a flying
army are always the bravest. 1t
matters little whether the enemy
loses much in killed and wounded.
The question is not how to kill men,
but how to discourage them, to rob
them of their leaders, to destroy
their organization.
IAN infantry which has suffered
many losses but has advanced vic
toriously and still has sufficient am
munition may laugh at a cavalry
attack. An infantry that has been
beateR and whose officers are killed,
and which has lost courage in con-
sequence, is a ready prey to enter
prising cavalry. II will be said that
in such a case the cavalry of the
beaten army must sacrifice itself
for the infantry. Quite true. The
task of the attacking cavalry will
then be to overthrow the horsemen
of the vanquished army. If this
succeeds, the stampeded horsemen
will only assist in increasing the
confusion of the flying infantry.
"At any rate, a few hundred men
and horses dying of sheer exhaus-
tion in the pursuit of beaten enc
my will save the trouble of another
bloodthirsty battle. To train cavai-
~ for such work is the purpose of
extensive maneuvers. - Literary

HER FIRST BALL GAME.
Mary Jane Gives Our Read
erS Her Observations.

At last, Mr.. Chieftain, l have
seen g game of base ball. At my
age and livin' where they play q
right smart, one would nacherly
suppose l had seen several games
but have always considered such
doin's the invention of the enemy.
1 wouldn't have gone this time
if Milly hadn't KEEP insistin' on it.
Ses she, you jest must go mother,
cause John has set his head on
him and me goin' and We can't
leave you by yourself. l consid-
>-ered the matter quite a spell and
finally 1 decided that if my morals
was SO weak after all the years I'd
been q trainin' of 'em, that one
game of base ball would topple
'em over, why, they had jest about
as well be toppled as strait.
Besides ses / to myself 1 needn't
take eny interest in it enyway,
jest stay on suference as it were.
Well there was sure a big crowd
when we got there. Lots of VIM
men all dressed up and looking as
pretty as a clock.
And a lot of fellers was inside
of the ring, l suppose you would
call it a ring, all dressed up in up
holstered knee pants. They
throwed the ball and ketched it
and run around the ring till l be-
gan to get some interested tryin'
to find out what they was doin',
when if you'll believe ne they |
was runnin' and throwin' in the |
hot sun jest for fun. Directly they |
commenced scatterin' around all
over the place. One of them got
q ball and another one got bat
and another one put an uphol-
stored front on and a wire cage of
some kind on his head and got be-
hind the feller with the bat. l
couldn't see what he was so fixed
up for till l see how close the bat
would come to hittin' him after
they got TO playin.' You know
