in every hamlet and on every sec
tion Of land yet there is more liz.
uor being consumed In that state
in one day than there Is in the
northern district Of Indian Terri
tory In one year, that is--averag-
ing the consumption of liquor dur
ing the past three years.
Instead Of calling the attention
of the outside world to the decrease
in the use Of liquor in the terri
tory, the Checotah editor, for pet
ty and personal political reasons
delights to take fling at the court
officers and, because their own
organ has not the voice, they veil
their endeavor TO "cut an Official
by using metropolitan paper as
far as they can and under veil of
giving the news Of the day from
their section.
In Vinita where the court officers
themselves can keep an eye on
things there was not a single case
OF drunkenness brought to public
attention Christmas day. In Che
cotah and other towns where one
deputy is provided where there
should be ten, intoxication was
more prevalent
Because federal officials could
not be used by one of the political
factions of Checotah to the undoing
of the other, 1T must necessarily be,
that local correspondents and an
editor, inspired evidently, In their
smallness, must attack the court
and officials and send broadcast to
the world the news that Indian
Territory is terribly lawless and in
consequence not a fit place to come
and settle.
To vent their petty spleen the
peanut politicians of Checotah
must injure the fair name of the
entire territory and exaggerate her
lawlessness. Yet, what do they
care for the welfare Of their own
or any other community as long as
they can advance themselves po.
litically, and what do they care for
q court or court officers if they
cannot control them?

banks of small strains, and fills them
with the leaves and stems of water
plants, which it first cures for the pur-

Is the origin of the name popularity

FIRST RAILROAD IN CHINA.
Went Around tho Towns Instead OF
Through Them.

Through Them.
Mr. WI, the present Chinese minis
ter at Washington, has many amusing
stories to tell of the first railroad ever
built in the celestial kingdom, which
was constructed under his supervision
In the province of Tong Chong, where
Ii Hung Chang reigned as vieeroy
says the Saturday Evening Posi- Curl
ously enough, this road was built with
out the consent of the emperor, With
out his knowledge even, the pr jectora
realizing that they must educate their
ecuntrymen, from the highest to the
lowest, by an object lesson. The road
once in operation, they argued, the
people, understanding it was a wonder
ful servant of commerce, and not
great devil; that i carried freight bet
ter and quicker than he old-fashioneG
way, and would bind the uttermost
parts of their kingdom together, would
no longer oppose it. It's establishment,
however was missionary work of a
different character, even to SO saga
cious a diplomat as Mr.. WI, and
though he succeeded in overcoming
the prejudice to certain extent. he
failed utterly to gain consent that the
road should run through the towns and
villages that marked its route. No,
no., said the leading lnen of those
places; build your road If you must,
but keep it away from us-the farther
the better" We'll. we'll" said WI,
have it as you will. We will run our
road at a distance from your limits,
but you will regret It for all time;
and when you realize what serious
harm you have done to your own In.
terests don't come and insist upon our
moving the road nearer your borders. :"
The railroad was hardly in operation
before the men who had opposed 1t be-
sought him to change its route that it
might come by their towns and cities;
but the management was obdurate. and
Tong Chung received a most whole.

Seven miles of condemnation is

have scrutinized tie thousands OF

This distance was aseertained by local.

Rubber heels for all shoes and boots
