Chandler News: Some of these days
when the people of Oklahoma shall have
gained a little leisure from their labors
of opening and settling new counties and
developing older ones; when Oklahoma
shall have taken on the dignity OF
statehood and the entertainment OF elect
ing governors and senator's comes our
way; when public Libraries are in every
town and a state normal schaal in every
village, then shall the opportunity arise
for a group of writer's to make their
names Immortal by writing UP the prac-
teal jokes and hilarious happenings of
early days in Oklahoma The compiler
of the anecdotes of Chandler from 1921
to 1894 can readily make a fortune Ii he
is gifted with the humor and pictur-
esque expression necessary 10 convey
an idea of those free old days. There
will be a chance for the Indian folklore
fthe tribes inhabiting Oklahoma and
the Indian territory to get up some Of the
most fascinating tales since the days Of
Hans Christian Anderson. For the data
of this. class Of literature writer's can
find valuable references in the uewspa-
per files preserved by the hiotsrical so
ciety. from campfire legends. the tradi-
tons of the redmen, and the best of all,
the stories preserved by printers and
newspaper men who served together in
those gay and glorious days. 1t is a
unique field of literature and the writer
who makes study Of the spirit of those
days will achieve The success of his life
when he pOrtrays it.
