The Chieftain may have been )

The Chieftain may have been a
little too severe in its structures
upon those whom it believed to be
drawing unearned salaries, but is
still OF the opinion that the nation
frequently pays too high q price
for services that are rendered.
The Cherokee treasury used to be
believed to be inexhaustable, but
the bottom has been scraped so
hard and 50 oflon of late that most
any kind of salary seems high.
The Chieflain wants to see the in
terests of the Cherokee people
fully protected. What we protest
against is paying out money when
no work is performed. When ef-
ficient work is performed we have
not a word to say, but expect to 60
on protesting against the unearned
salaries, and we expect to make
our protest heard too.

Thursday Of last week was con-
sumed in reading the report Of the
G. V. Rogers commission investi-
eating the auditors office, the dis
gusling details Of which disclose
the most slupendous piece Of fraud
in Cherokee history. The negro
steal-bcgins to grow small in COM
parison. If the findings of the COM
mission be correct, one hundred
and ninety-four thousand dollars
were stolen outright by as grace
less a set of official scoundrels as
ever encumbered the earth. This
was all done to hight in the ex-
ecuiive Office, under the very nose
of two administrations-and was
carried on Tor five years-where
were the chiefs-where were the

claims, God help us-we are dis
,troying ourselves. Some Of the
parties implicated are pet federal

GUM-CHEWING GIRLS,

The Amount Of Power Wasted Every OAy
by Each One Of Them.
The gum-chewing mania having become
a question OF National importance, like that
OF the utilization Of the water-power of Mag
ara Falls, one Of the Chicago public-school
principals has, according to q Chicago jour
nal, recently taken the necessary time from
his arduous duties to compute statistics on
the loss OF power daily expended-wasted,
may say-in the gum-chewing practice. In
arriving at correct mathematical conclu.
sions as 70 tho energy required TO keen the
Eum-mills grinding, our learned friend
estimates the gum-raising capacity Of the
fair gum-chewer At the rate Of eight
ounces per ''chaw." This is on the suppo.
sition that the mouth Is opened half an inch
each time in the act of chewing, and that
the gum Is Of the elastic or non-sticky va
riety, thereby giving the minimum Of power
required In the operation. With this basis
Is starting point, the professor easily de-
ducts startling series Of tables Of rates,
weights and measures, which can be epit-
omized. In the first place, II the jayy be
raised one-half an inch with each EFFORT in
the act OF gum-chewing, with the process
Kept up on an average OF ten hours q
day-some chewers chew till hate at night,
And others, even, when asleep-each indi.
vtdual motion Of the jaw consuming a Sec
ond OF time, the aggregated opening of q
Eum-chewer's jaws in one day alone would
represent . mouth fifteen hundred feet
across, measuring the abyss in its widest
diameter. But, since the jaw travels back
with every motion, retracing each success
sive stretch, the space Travelled in day on
the ten-hour plan is double the foregoing
figures, or three thousand feet-something
like three-ffths of q mile. Again, if the
force expended per ''chaw" represents a
lifting capasity Of eight ounces, in the aver
age day, as Mr.. Principal figures it, enough
muscular energy Is exerted-wasted-to
enable each individual gum-chewer to have
hoisted from q cellar seven and half feet
deep thirty buckets Of coal each weighing
thirty pounds. In some future article may
and may not-pursue the interesting sub
ject, and quote from the professors work
the amazing possibilities in store for homo
and society when the gum-chewing craze
shall have been brought into subjugation
and made to serve humanity in channels Of
usefulness and progress.

The Populists and demo.
Gratis of Barber county can
we'll feel proud of the fight
they made this year. The
republicans made the hardest
fight that they have made
for many years and the
result was very unsatisfacto'
ry to them. While we would
liked to have seen the whole
fusion ticket elected, we have
reason to feel very well salts,
fed. Last year every repub.
lican pulled through with
majorities of over 100. This
year they elect two while the
fusionlsts elect four. The
highest republican majority
on the county ticket is As.

The splendid victory won
by the fusionists of Barber
county is not due alone to
any one man nor a stated
number of men. Every man
in the ranks contributed to
the success of the ticket. But
it there is a man in the coun-
ty who deserves more credit
than another it is w. c.. AL
ford, of Hazelton. As soon
as nominations were made he
threw off his coat and worked
until the polls closed Tues
day night. He spent money
and neglected his private
business in order to advance
the principles of the party
and his hard work and per-
sonal sacrifices had a telling
effect. Mr.. Afford is certain
ly entitled to the thanks and
kindliest wishes Of every Pop
ulist and democrat in Bar
Der county.

The INDEX hOists Its fowl this week
over the triumph of Hon. John a. Les
ter, fusion candidate for representative,
who was in doubt last week. The Off
cial count was concluded last week and
Mr.. Lester was found to have received
826 votes and w. g. Millar 824. This is
the greatest victory the fusionists have
won for many years. The republicans
always regarded "Billie" Millar inYin-
chile and we admit that he has always
been hard runner, but the fusionists
put up magnificent fight with an ex.
ceptionally good man and put the ene-
my to rOut.
1t is said that the legislature Will seat
Mr.. Millar regardless of the returns,
and it may. This hos been a republican
rule for many years where the MAORI
ties were small, but be that as it may.
the Populists and democrats have the
satisfaction of knowing that they elect
ed four out of six candidates with ma
jOrities ranging from 2 to 179. The re-.
publicans saved only two by As and So
majority. Heretofore the republican
majorities have been as high as $50.
There is some talk about vote from
the Philippines cutting some figure in
the election Of a representative, but
that Is merely talk. There will be no
vote from the soldiers in the Philippines
for several reasons. The first reason is
that the state failed to make arrange
ments to receive vote from it's SOL
der, and the second IS that the returns
could not get here before the secretary
OF state must canvass the vote accord
ing to law. The third reason is that an
election for county and district candi-
dates, in the Philippines is impossible,
because the state regiment is thing of
the past, and 1t would be almost lmpos-
slble to provide ballots for all the sol.
dlers of the United States, containing
the names of county candidates. If
they voted at all, they would not vote
more than national and state tickets.
Hurrah for Lesterl Hurrah for the
people who elected the fusion ticket!

ABOUT RAILROAD REcElvERsHlPs.

A6Oui nHlLHOAO hECEivEhSHlPS.
From Appeal to Reason.
Editor Appeal: If the profits of the
railroads are so great, why have so
many fallen into the hands of the re-
ceiver In times gone byP
j. E. AMENT,
Chicago. lii.
Because it is always to some ones Fl.
nancial benefit to have them in the
hands of receiver. To understand
this matter that bOthers many people,
let us go into the matter back of the re.
ownership. A company builds a rail-
road that costs $4,000 mile Except IN
mountainous countries that covers
COST They organize company, get
the right of way, and proceed to con-
struct. They have bonds issued aud
sold at discount to get the money to
build the road, having no money of
their own; they sell bonds as long as
they can find buyers, some of these So
O0O roads having issued as many as $50.
600 in bonds besides an equal amount
of stock. These bonds and the stocks
are issued at different times and at diff.
ferent series. OF course road that
costs only $1,000 mile can hardly be
expected to pay running expenses, big
salaries to a horde of useless officers
and directors, attorneys, bribery agents,
passes TO lawye rs. papers, public officers.
and then pay interest on 100000 of
stocks and bonds. 1t defaults OH its
interest and goes into the hands of re-
ceiver.
Is that any evidence that the road
does not pay? Can onesay that when
a $4,000 property Will not pay interest
or ten times its value that it is proof
that it does not pay? Then the big
bOndhOiders or stockholders get the
property sold, buy it In and squeeze all
the other holders out of their holding
and get the property at half its capital.
ization Then 1t is re-organized and
the process is gone through again, to
the sacrifice of more dupes who have
put money into it. You Will note that
the builders of the road have gotten the
proceeds of the first bonds and stocks
a profit of all above the original cost of
the road-they have made their lack.
as the boys say.
Most of the roads in this country have
been built just that way, and most of
them pay from 20 per ceut to so per cent
year on the real cost. in addition to
the necessary running expenses 1t of.
ten happens that road is good prop
erty even at the exorbitant capitaliZa-
| ton. Those who study the property
find this out and proceed to cheat the
| others out of 1t. They get control of q
majority of the stock, elect themselves
officers at fabulous salaries, spend i'm
! mense sums in improving the road,
run it into debt and force it to default
| on its bonds, get it sold under the ham,
mer and buy it in at small part of
| what tits worth. But IS that any EVIL
dence that the roads do not pay? All
| roads, if the private manipulation of
them were out of the way, would pay
| big interest on the cost. There is not a
road IN the poorest place that will not
pay, for roads are not so expensive to
| run as the people have been taught to
believe. Those who run them want
the people to have that impression, but
people who have read on the subject
know it is not so.
