One OF the most honored and con-
spicuous figures in the public life of
Great Britain during the last half CEN
fury was Lord Playfair. of whom q
sketch appears In the North American
Review. The. vast sanitary Improve
ments which have taken place In Eng
land within thirty years and the eyo-
lntion OF the whole system of scIen-
tific and technical instruction are due
10 Playfair more than to any other
man. He originally suggested the
adoption of open half-penny letters,
now known as post cards. and he
was largely instrumental in suggesting
the basis Of an equitable agreement
between Great Britain and America
when President CleveIands yenexue-
Ian message had brought the two couu-
tries into dangerous antsgonism.

New Years Calls.

The time-honored custom for gen.
tlemen to call upon the ladies and
pay their respects will be observed
quite largely in Vinita Tuesday. A
number OF ladies have announced that
they will keep open house to their

CHIEFTAIN will publish a list OF those
ladies and, for fear We have not al
ready your name, please communicate
to US by noon Monday, either In per-

In revising the subscription lists
of the Weekly Chieftain this week
some curious and pleasing revela-
Gions are observed. The name of
one man is tracsd back to the very
inception OF the publication; and
as the years sped on we find the
names of two sons who have mar.
ried and gone out from the old
home into new homes OF their own.
Then a little closer investigation
shows the names of two sons in
law who take the paper, thus the
paper becomes a visitor in the
homes Of two generations. While
this is complimentary to the ex.
cellence OF the paper it also be-
speaks the quiet influence of the
home and the tendency to follow
example.

The closing cry of the century is
money! money! money! 1t is the
one long drawn-out universal,
incessant, hungry, roaring cry.
From imperial presidents and
heads of military and naval de.
partments who are Justify calling
for more money to kill people
with, to the churches and gospel
ministers who are pleading for
more money TO save more souls.
Everybody wants and must have
more money. United States sem

ished shipbuilders, and the tax
payers of America are being hunted
as they were never hunted before.

GOOD PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

A great deal is being said about
the enforcement of law as the rem
edy for the suppression of crime
in the Indian territory and else
where. The secret Of w.abiding
communities is not to be found
wholly in the vigilance of the off,
GERS but in the state of public
sentiment that is behind the en-.
'forcement of all law.
The fact that Vinita has no sa-
looms and open gambling hells is
not altogether due to the presence
of SO many officers of the law but
rather in spite of some Of them.
Public sentiment in this town is
so pronounced against the sale OF
liquor and the presence of gamb.
ling houses that it is comparatively
easy to enforce the law. If
snajority of our people wanted
,sueh institutions the chances are
'the officers would not nor could
not prohibit them.
The good order and the general
morality of Vinita is over the con-
slant protest Of some of the citi.
Gems Of the town, who see no pros.
lperity save in the open saloon and
the lawless gambling den. The
great majority Of our people, how
ever, insist upon the enforcement
oflaw, and lend their aid in stamp
ing out these abscesses on the
body polite Of any community.

CLEAN UP THE FILTH.
DR.. August Kinney Makes Some I'm
portant Suggestions.

Yesterday an investigation was made
of the alleged unclean condition of that
part OF our city comm )nly called "swill
town" swill Town has not the whole
thing her way. as Chinatown is run
ming neck and neck for first place,
The present condition of Chinatown
Is only to be described as lisgustingly
filthy. One fostering hole can easily
be reached by entering a small alley
leading east off Seventh street. Here
In a back yard of about fifteen or
twenty feet square can be found a
variety of decayed vegetation.
Most all of the China houses facing
Bond street have small back yards, and
the condition Of all are filthy.
In speaking to DR.. August Kinney on
the cleaning up of our city, the doc
tor, who is an acknowledged authority
on bacterology, said:
I'VE can not leave the subject of ex-
terminating the rats which infest the
city. This is the most important thing
