The two palaces occupied by Kaiser
William, according to the season, look
like prosperous homes, but completely
unpretentious. You are led through his
simplicity, and through his study,
where he sat with Bismarck, and
drafted plans for the national welfare
and put down the foundation of an
empire which / think will last as long
as the sun and moon endure. For the
history of almost every nation. it re-
Gures pen and sword closely united.
That which was achieved by Thomas
Jefferson's pen and Alexander Hamil-
tons financial genius for institutions
in America, William l. and Won Moltke
and Bismarck achieved for Germany.
The present emperor has enlisted the
hearts of al! his people. While many
criticise his pronunciamentos and do
not like this. or do not like that, Will
liam II. will hand down to his son a
miGhiier scertre than that which he
received from the dying hand OF his
father. Emperor Frederick. who reigned
only n!nety-three days. and which his
grandfather welded twcnty-seven
years. German blood has iron in it,

PROTECT PUBLIC RIGHTS.

The matter Of granting the priv
ilege 10 build a stairway in the
street in front Of the Little store
building has been a fruitful topic
Of discussion for the last day OF
two 10 VinitA. Whatever may be
the legal aspect OF the case, j. is
certainly a dangerous precedent to
establish TO allow property owners
to occupy the public streets OF
alleys. The streets arc supposed
TO belong to the public, in a sense
at least, and its rights should be
regarded as sacred. When citi-
zen purchases a lot he acquires an
interest in the public streets that
should not be interfered with.
The question as TO whether the
city council has tho legal right to
grant away the right TO occupy a
street or an alley against other
citizens is one of easy determine
tion. In the Park case carried up
from this town to the United States
clrcnit court of appeals, ii sas
held that the Cherokee nation il.
self, being the owner Of the land,
had no right to authorize the clos
ing up Of the parks OF the city,
and that any citizen had the legal
right TO enjoin 1t, and the town Of
Vinila was enjoined in the case
cited.
As the foundations Of . city are
being laid here leisus make no mis-
take by granting dangerous privi-

TT WAS ENJOYED.
The Anniversary Day Of the
Birth of He Who Granted
Salvation to the People Of
the World.

Tuesday, Christmas day, the cell
ebration as it was made by the
best people of vinita, and there
are but few bad, was occasioned by
the commemorative realization
that upon that day-1900 years
sgo-The Christ was born in Beth
lehem. -
Because of those tidings Of great
joy-that Eternal Salvation was
vouchssfed man-the years and
centuries have witnessed each sue.
ceeding people revering His name.
'Tis a gladstone tims, indeed,
this Christmastide when men and
women, recalling the periods OF
their childhood, love to do hom-
age and make happy the child Of
today.
At the football game men Of
business, of affluence, Of affairs;
men whose influence extends far
beyond the borders Of the limits
prescribed by the municipal coun.
Gil, yesterday entered into the
spirit OF the fun anu rooted and
yelled in seeming orgetfulness
that they were in the "dead sener.
alton" as far as play was con.
cerned.
Age was no consideration. All
were young again and, Il a matron
took from the totliugs arms a doll
gift, and gave it just one squeeze,
she will be forgiven the tear shed
because her thoughts were upon
the long ago when she, too, loved
her "dolly" as loyal playmate.
In all and all this Christmas
was a merry one.
All who are not cynics, and the
writer encountered none, enjoyed
themselves to the full measure.
But few men saw or grasped tba
"full measure" and those who did
are sorry today.
No crime was committed and it
is safe to assert no town in the
eflete east had less rowdyism dom.
inant than did this city OF Yinita
-"the town upon the border" as
they are pleased to term il.

GOOD TRADE-.No CRIME.

The trade of the Vinita mer-
chants for the past week was
larger in volume than in any pre-
ceding week in the history Of the
city. At the postofiice a phenom-
enally large Christmas mail was
handled and the business in the
money order department was never
greater in any one week. 1t is
certainly safe to assert that during
Monday and Christmas there was
less drunkenness and rowdyism in
Vinita than in any town Of like
size in the country Marshal Led.
better is to be congratulated upon
his splendid and successful polic-
ing Of the city.
