81 was down in the Indian Territory
few weeks ago. " said St. Louis man
the other day. and business took me to
the capital of the Cherokee Nation.
There is no country in the world where
prohibitory laws are as strictly enforced
as in the five civilized tribes. IL is
against the law to import any sort of
intoxicating liquors under severe penal
ties. The result is that it is common
thing for people to drink camphor, per-
fume, hair tonics and any old liquor
that contains tie faintest suggestion Of
alcohol
Il actually saw one fellow drink o.
large swallow Of red ink and learned
that this carmine fluid was mos6 pop
ular beverage. A good sized bottle of it
could be had for so cepts, and it was
warranted to make the drunk come.
1t seemed to me that when the Indians
were willing to go to such extremes to
indulge their craving for fire water that
it would be just as we'll to let them
have the genuine article, which couldn't
at the worst be half as baneful as the
vile compounds they habitually use. -

VERNON COUNTY CENSOR
o. G. MuNsoN. Editor and Proprietor.
WEDNESDAY. MARCH Z, 1900.
A DEPARTURE FROM THE OLD.

The changed form Of today's CENSOR
is an innovation ON the old familiar
four page sheet that ought TO merit the
approval of readers generally. 1t is like
breaking up housekeeping to inaugurate
this new feature and depart from the
long established precedent that has fol-
lowed the paper from its inception to
the present day. The change has not
been made without much of regret on
our part, at taking the old craft from its
moorings, but the demands of advertis-
I'M. patrons and readers made the change
necessary. This enlargement involves
a much heavier burden of expense and
labor, but we believe the change will he
appreciated. Before we had only thirty
six columns for both reading matter
and advertising, now we have fifty
The eight page paper is much more con-
venient and will serve all patrons with
greater satisfaction, we trust. The,
sheets are conveniently cut and pasted,
and the reader will have only to remove
the slight perforation at the head of the
paper to bring the eight pages promin-
emily before him.
A lack of help and rush of work has
made it impossible to place things in as
neat shape as we had contemplated, but
these will all be arranged in future
issues, and the CENSOR will strive to
be model paper. 1t is pleasure and
satisfaction to note the rapidly increas-
ing circulation of the paper from week
to week. 1t will be our steadfast pur-
pose to merit continuation of these
favorable conditions.
