Resolutions on Behalf Of Education.

treasurer; j. c. Masters, Jones Acad-
emy, j. w. Pickens. Canadian and
Gabe Parker, Academy. executive com
mittee. A resolution setting forth that
the government had provided for the
education OF children in Oklahoma by
setting aside lands was adopted as
follows:
Resolved. That It is the sense of
this association OF teachers. repre-.
senting every locality and every class
OF education which convened at South
McAlester on the eth day of Deeem.
ber. 1902, that the United States gov.
eminent should make similar provis
ion for public instruction in the In.
dian Territory for more than one-hall
million people. and we believe this
might be done either by purchasing
the Indian coal and mineral lands and
setting apart for school purposes the
royalties derived therefrom, or by pur
chasing a sufficient amount of the In
dian lands to produce an income ad
equate for school purposes as in other
states and territories We therefore
most respectfully ask that the present
congress provide some means for re
lief by which the thousands of children
now in the Indian Territory may be
given school privileges.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The Valley News is certainly very
correct in the following statement:
yesterday at one church and prob
abb more the pastors made reference
in deprecatory words 20 the manner In
which Christmas is celebrated. Who
is responsible for thi Hasn't the
city an ordinance against the sale Of
Gre works and hasn't tn general gov.
ernment a stringent law against the
sale of intoxicants7 You can't blame
the mass of the people, because they
don't know better: there vii always
be hundreds and thousands with no
better idea of propriety than to cele-
brate the most solemn occasion with a
big drunk and carousal. You can't ed
ucate some people and you must re-
strain them. At Ardmore dozens of
packages of whiskey were broken and
spilled. Why not at Pauls Valley? For
the simple reason, as the News has al.
ways contended, that the enforcement
OF the whIskey law is and always has
been despicable farce, an outrage
on sense and reason and trnvesty
on justice. One man in the penlten-
tiary for selling 1t and dozen
others at liberty; one indicted
and twenty released for want of ev-
ldence;" two gallons confscated and
forty disposed Of without molestation." !"

An Indian Territory man who is
now ip Washington in a letter to a
friend in Ardmore says that there is
no power on earth that will prevent
the passage Of the omnibus bill. II
this statement is true. II is sad mes
sage TO the Indian Territory. The
idea OF having our country divided up
and added piece by piece to an adioin-
ing state is repulsiye Our identity
will be submerged under mass OF
unwelcome Legislation and our people
will feel only too keenly that foul
hands have been laid upon the altar
of liberty. Governed by laws to which
we have given our consent is a
foul violation OF American ideas and
principles. Such legislation will vic.
timize us TO party politics. The l00,-
900 pupils of scholastic age in this
country without the benefit OF schools
should alone be sufficient TO produce
honest legislation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

1t is said that the American off :
GERS in the Philippines are utilizing
their prisoners by compelling them
to carry their wives about in bam-
boo chairs, and Republican news
papers are pointing to the fact as
proof of the Filipino's degeneracy.
The Filipino carries the American
woman to save his neck, snd the
underlings in this country try to
justify the heathenish practice be-
cause the big guns of the imperia-
LETS are trained on them.
