Horace Darnell, the little eight
year old son Of Jim Darnell, the

encased in a plaster cast, and the
lad is now as com Portable as could
be expected.

Christmas will soon be here and
with it the expectations, the joys.
the pleasures that are the delight
OF every child.
There are many dreary homes in
Chickasas, whose children will not
know the delights that Christmas
brings. P.rcLts working ever so
hard are unable TO afford them the
pleasures Of this one great day in
childish eyes.
The Express is going to give
these poor little unfoItunates what
Christmas day should bring them,

erous man aud woman ia Chick

You who are more fortunate.
don I you feel like you wouid like
to help along a plan that would
give these children real Christ

What we want is to get the
names and addresses of as many
families-whose children come
under this head--as we can learn
Of, the number OF boys aud the
number of girls. II you know Of
any such, bring or send their names
TO the Daily Express. Also if you
have any cast of garments. your
children any broken toys, books,
anything that can be of any use,

to have the various Ladies Aid
and other societies assist us IN
getting the names Of as many as
possible.
But most of ell we want names
and addresses. You certainly
know of some deserving family.
II not, try aud hunt one up.
Knowing that you have tried OF

Commercial Club Meets In the
Interest of Statehood.
Enthusiastic Speeches Made +!
Twelve Dollars or More Expend
ed in kilograms Urging Con-
gressmen to Support
the Nelson Bill.

Acting upon the suggestion coz
tanned in The Express last week /,
that the citizens of Chickasha tel
egraph their friends in congress to
vote and work for the passage of
the Beveridge substitute bill giving
single statehood to Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, Mayor Scoffern
called meeting Of the Commercial
Club Saturday afternoon at A
o'clock at the mayors office TO
consider the matter. For some
reason, probably the rush of holi-
day trade and the inclement
weather, the attendance was ex-
ceedingly light, but those who did
come out were there for business,
and the meeting was an enthusias-
tic one Notwithstanding the draw
backs
President Henry b. johnson
presided, and after calling the
meeting to order the object OF the
call was stated by Mr.. Melton. II
was TO consider and adopt some
means Of aiding the legislation fol-
single statehood which il now
seems certain that congress will
enact at this session. Several cit
izens made brief addresses on ths
subject. 1t was suggeE ted tina
perhaps the best plan to plrsu,
would be to send kilograms to per
soDal friends among the senators
and representatives, IN congress
urging them to vote for and us,
their influence IN passing the Mel
son bill. Donations were asked
from those present to defIay thu
expense of sending the messages
aud liberal response was received
In five minutes over $12 wal
raised, and members Of the clul
who have personal acquaintance Gel
with influential members of ths
house and senate signed the mes
sages, which we're dispatched at
night rate.
The matterof sending a persona
representative to Washington I
work for the passage of the Nelso
bill was taken mp, and as Mr.. j. W
5peake was going TO Washingto
TO spend the holidays any way, hi
name was suggested. As Nj
Speake is a territorial Office hoIde
there was some question as to hi
views on single statehood
and he was asked TO address tn
meeting. Mr.. Speake said h
realized that statehood of any kin
meant the ending of his office. bT
that if statehood was the sense {
the meeting and the desire of th
people, he would devote all his Ell
ergies to that end, sinking his ow
personal desires. 1t ia well unde
stood that MIR. Speake has sufi
cient influence al Washington to /
of vast service to the Indian Te
ritOry just at the present time, an
if there is a change IN our form ,
government he Will probably n
ceive better job than the one |
now holds. Tue club decided
send Nr. Speake to Washington {
its personal delegate TO urge tt
passage of the Beveridge subst
tute bill, and it is thought that b
services will be of considerab
value.
1t is earnestly hoped that the
kilograms will have some weig
in influencing favorable legislatiI
for the Indian Territory. II

POLITICS IN VERMONT.

Among the possibilities of the State
elections OF 1902 none is more amazing
than the chance that the Vermont
Democrats may elect their candidates
for governor and lieutenant governor.
Not that the Democatc party in Yer
mont has expeienced any considerable
growth. 1t is still hopelessly behind
the Republican aggregate in voting
strength. Although it always puts 10
a brave fight. it does so from principle
and the force of habit But while its
inability to defeat the united Republi-
can party is notorious. a division of the
party into two factions may result in a
Democratic victory.
That division has already been af-
fected The Vermont Local Option
League, composed of boiling Republi-
cans has nominated Percival w. Glenn
ent for governor and Frank w. Azan
Tor lieutenant governor on a platform
declaring for local option and high
license, with provision of submitting
te vote of the people any measure
embodying those features which the
legislature may pass. The head, front
center and soul of the fight is Percival
w. Clement. man of great personal
popularity, pOssessor of considerable
fortune, editor and proprietor Of an
excellent newspaper. His rating in
the Republican patty has hitherto been
among the most prominent and influ-
entail Now, however, he must he
ciassed as an insurgent, the leader of
a formidable insurrection against the
regular Organization. He made almost
a phenomenally sensational campaign

The NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We congratulate Governor Brodie on
his selection of an attorney general.
He looked over the heads of the crowd
of Office beggars and chose a man who
is we'll calculated to reflect credit on
the place.
Judge Wells is admirably qualified to
discharge the duties OF the Office. He
is a man of character and ability. 1t
was plainly case of the Office seeking
the man. 1t is tribute to Governor
Brodie that he can command the SER
vices of a lawyer of such eminence
and a citizen of such distinction. 1t
is highly creditable to Judge Wells
civic spirit and patriotism that he
should assume an Office the revenues
from which are inconseQuential and to
him unnecessary. and the duties Of
which will be onerous and not apt tc
add glamour to his professional fame
1t is true. the Office of attorney gem
eral is one of high honor Properly
estimated, the attorney general is the
head Of the bar of the Territory, and
Arizona has many lawyers OF eminence
and distinguished ability.
Governor Brodie is looking high.
He is breathing pure air An at
mosphere of wholesome cleanliness
surrounds him. Under his adminis
tr;.Iion there is every indication that
the public service will take on higher
tore, and public servants feel al en-
larbed responsibility in the effici ut and
homes discharge of their duties.

Lava Qtreamm.

IT is scientifically reported that the
hva streams from Vesuvius in 1858
were so hot twelve years later that
steam was issuing from the cracks
and crevices, while the lava beds from
the eruption of Etna in 1887 were
found to be steaming hot just below
the top crust as late as lS40. But still
more remarkable are the scientific re
ports OF the volcano Jorullo. In Mexi-
co. This sent forth immense streams
Of lava In 1850. In 1880 thu . Va beds
were. exa mined by party of scien-
lists, and 1t was found that stick

nIted. although there was no discom-
fort experienced in walking on the
hardened crust Again some forty
years after the eruption it was visited

Vermont is not the first great party

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

Mary MacTane is getting a glimpse OF
a very substantial kind of sunshine
from the sale of her ideas. The
royalties on The Story OF
Mary MacLane" have already
amounted to $4,000, some $4,000 of
which was paid her in a lump sum an
hour before she glided away from
Chicago to shock Boston.
Perhaps Mary will learn to sing and
see the world as less cynical people do.
At any rate there appears to be at
least one little ray of hope for her. Her
departure from Butte was good be-
ginning. her short stay in Chicago was
hopeful, her inclination toward Boston,
ominous. Who knows but one of
these days she will be wearing blue
stockings?

TIE YOUNG BARBARIAN.

"Oh, for one moment of thorough
happiness, for one moment when can
feel that the world is in love with me,
and that | am in love with the world,'
said Mary MacLane, as she boarded a
train at Chicago which was to take her
to Boston. Miss MacLane Is an un-
tanned creatuae from Montana who
has written nasty book that has
brought her uncertain fame but no un-
certain fortune.
The exclamation of the irregular
young woman as she left Chicago in
dicates that she is becoming hopefully
sensible. Now if she will get 1c-
quainted with one Of those young men
who work ten hours a day In Boston,
and permit him to look into her eyes
and get firm grfp on her right hand
she may yet come to feel that the
world loves her, for as matter of fact,
girl is always sure that the world
loves her If one young man of the
After all, probably, a very large
portion of Mary MacLane's trouble all
along has been her environment. She
has lived most of her life in Butte, and
any one who has visited that town will
agree that it has many of the elements
that suggest hades. Had Mary been
born and reared in Central Texas
where everything teens with hope and
hospitality; or among the sun-kissed
plains of Arizona, where men and
women exist to put sunshine into each
others lives, she doubtless would have
been sweet-tempered maid who
would have seen only the birds and the
bees and the flowers; would never
have written a shocking book, anG
would probably have married some
worthy youth and lived happy ever
after"
But at Butte Mary MacLane saw
only the rocks and the everlowerint
clouds, and, sick at heart over thii
everlasting forbidding landscape, hel

book that will haunt her more matur,
and sober life. But just now, lik,

NATURES NOBILITY.

Two items of the deepest human in
terest were published in The Citizen
on different days last week. One told
of the gratitude displayed by a China
man at Cambridge. Massachusetts, who
had been befriended by late resident
of that town. The other was a story
of almost heart-breaking pathos, in
which a little New York boy was the
central figure. 1t is good to read of
such things in this age when men and
women are so engrossed in the cares of
life and in the pursuit of material
things that they are prone to lose
sight of the finest and most elevating
qualities of the human race.
The New York boy is a hero of The
