WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
1t was an uncommon meeting in Chicago
"a number OF liquor dealers assembled to
declare against the use of intoxicants.
This declaration. of course, is OF the ma
ture of a close corporation, and is not held
out the the general public.
When liquor dealers by their solemn and
deliberate action declare that their "old pri-
vate stock and .'old Inusty ale cannot
with safety be taken into the stomach h
must be the opinion of the outsider?
These men have acted wisely. They have
not preached; they have illustrated.
There are. however. no keepers of con-
SpicuOus saloons that would advise a man
to get drunk.
A drunken nan in a saloon Is too forc!-
BILE an example. is too much given TO quick
acquaintance with men who have not taken
enough 10 drive away reserve.
Therefore, he hurts business.
The saloons best customer Is the man
who can keep on drinking without getting
drunk. from whose countenauce comes forth
no reproach.
1t is IA mistake to suppose that all sa-
loonkeepers are brutal.
Into their places human nature goes to
emphasize or weaken itself. and human Ea-
ture is not an unmiNed evil.

In no other period Of like length has there. been SO
great Il portion Of the earth's surface brought under
the conquest Of civilization. f.
In Its toiality the idea Of reducing such an i'm
mense domain to a habitable condition and subiecting
it to the dominion of peaceful arts is almost past
comprehension.
AS part OF this stupendous whole the brief history
of oklahomas development Is full of interest and in
struction. 1t has been just fourteen years since the
original oklahoma was inhabited only by blanket
Indians and a few privileged cattlemen. At - o'clock
on the 22i of April, 1889, it was thrown open for en-
trance. Before the days close over 10000 people
had taken up their abode therein and had founded
several cities. one of which contained 10000 in
habitants.
About a year later Congress added n strip of about
100000 acres to the territory. and still later a body
of over a million acres. The third year over four
million acres were added. BY successive legislative
acts the area has been brought to nearly twenty-five
million acres.
The territory became rapidly settled; n vast influx
of population followed each addition and opening;
territorial government came into existence within the
second year of the Territory's history and to-day Ok
lahoma presents conditions which fully warrant its
admission into the Union as fit for the responsibilities
of statehood.
In one sense oklahoma's progress has been typical
of that of the Louisiana Territory as n whole; in the
sense that the same pioneer spirit, energy and enter
prise have characterized the settlement and develop
ment of the entire interior West. The boomer and
the sooner have not been so conspicuous every
where. The work has been more gradual and even.
1t has been done by the millions of %emigrants in twos
and threes and skies and sevens, not in congcsted.
rushing masses. But that it has been scarcely less
rapid is 4 fact. remarkable but inevitable, demon
strable. There is the great tangible accomplishment

thousands of square miles reclaimed and wrought in
to n condition of comfortable habitation in a space
of tivescore years.

What tender thought, what speechless

I hold thy faded lips to mine,
Thou darling of the April rain!
I hold thy faded lips to mine.
Though scent and azure tint are fed

OF something in me cold and dead;
OF something wilted like thy leaves.

For this I use my sublest art,
For this I fold thee in my song.

CARMACK'S NEGRO BILL
ONLY TO START DEBATE

MEMPHIS. Sept Ex-senator Carmack
has explained that his purpose in pro
posing to introduce a bill at the next
session of Congress for the repeal OF
the Fifteenth Amendment, thus disfran-
ehising the negro, Is simply to open up
discussion which will contribute to a
solution Of the race problem.
To Senator Carmacks mind the surest
way OF solving the negro question. both
socially and politically lies in the
negro's elimination from politics. Should
the Fifteenth Amendment be repealed
the question of treating with the negro
would be left 20 the States.

What lecithin has done for white rats

the large grow larger.
DR.. Hatai is not the FIRST scientist to
experiment with lecithin, but he is the
first successful one. DR.. Parrot. an emf
nent French scientist, failed because
he administered doses entirely too large,
says the university authority
1T is harmless food" said Dr. Hatia.
1T Is not poisonous, but very nutritious.
1t is an ideal food. Especially in cases
of convalescence is IL beneficial as IL
stimulates the body processes and acts
in general as quickener. It is a brown.
