The town team is getting i'll fine
training for the approaching con
test with the Fort Sill soldiers.
There seems to be some miscon-
ccption among the citizens as to
this game. This is not going to
be boys game. II is not high
school team. The men that COM
pose ii are picked from the best
Drawn Of Chickasha. There is not
a man OH il that has not played be-
fore on reputable football teams
and some Of our men have held
down important places on some Of
the best teams Of our land, such as
Missouri Uni. Kansas Uni.
Vanderbilt and others.
If you see this game you are
bound to see one Of the best
western games Of the year. The
soldier boys are in fine trim and
are practicing daily in preparation
for what they think will be one Of
their hardest contests.
The admission fee is much too
small for the class Of men that are
TO play. Such games a little far
ther east will cost you ST. and
upward, yet no one says that is
too much. Notwithstanding this
the howl has gone up from the
throats Of sone Of our people that
the price is too much. / wonder
if they ever weep over the price
they have 10 pay and do pay to
attend the. cheap theaters. The
boys that are 70 play the game
have not objected to an expense
of even $500 apece for suits, etc.
and are giving two hours Of their
time from work, some Of them, TO
give you a good interesting Xmas
day game. We have gone to over
Sfoo.oo expense to get this game
here and at the request Of some Of
the business men, without one
cent ol financial backing from the
town. Now do you object paying
soc to see a game worth $500, or
do you want the boys that have
been working 50 hard for the pleas
IRE Of the public to 90 down in
their pockets and pay for the game
themselves2 Do you object to pay
ing 75c for your wife or lady
friend2 DO you object to paying
asc FOX your son OF younger
brother Any one that would
object to these insignificant prices
would object to being hung
Now put away your childish
ways, Rally to ihe support Of your
team. Put vigor and grit into
them BY your presence atthe game.
Talk il up to your friend
Make the cheap man, banker or
clerk, swallow his own medicine.
Come a yelling and we'il win.

SECRETARY SHAW
Render Of The Independent Criticizcs the
Editor for Attacks ON Secretary
Of Trensurv

Editor Independent: ! am a con
slant reader OF your valuable paper
and In the main agree with you in
your political views; but am in
cllned to criticise You rather severely
for your attacks on Secretary Shaw.
Let me relate few facts:
believe careful observers will
agree with me that a year ago this
month lin October, 1902 the period
OF rising prices reached climax and
the inevitable reaction began. The
enormous imitation of Industrial stocks
had gone to the limit. Any more pres
sure and the bubble must burst with
disastrous consequences, both to stock
gamblers and legitimate business men
The situation was similar to that pre-
ceding the crash Of 1893.
But Secretary Shaw Is n resonrceful
man. He had no intention OF doing
as was done by the Cleveland admin
isfration-sitting like bump on log
while the whole business structure OF
the nation should be torn down by the
financial hurricane. He knew he could
ease the inevitable fall BY throwing
the entire United States treasury nm

Ing the business Of the United States

prices at ever-incresaing speed which
must spell universal ruin II not

cRITICIsEs WILTSHIRE.

Editor In, pendent: In your Karl
Marx Edition there Is an article by
Wiltshire on Chamberlain program In
England about which would like TO
make few remarks.
Mr.. Wllshires statement II facts
are mainly correct with the following
exceptions: Free trade Is not dead.
Chamberlain has not declared for pro-
lection. II is not true that England
will ultimately come TO protection.
For the present agitation emanates
from the privileged classes to try and
head off the taxation OF land values
TO which the lifera' party is pledged.
Nations do not trade with each
other either for racial or economic or
any other reasons. All trade Is be-
tween individuals. England Is not
the dumping ground for Industrial ma
tons. Though she does levy tribute
In the shape OF rent and interest on
most other countries. The great
American trusts do not menace En-
gland. Though they do menace the
United s ties.
II Is not necessary TO get n ioD 10
get money. A privilege Is more pro-
ductiye OF money than a job. A cor
