The Little Tln God.

Pleasau, it Is for the Little Tin Gods
When great Jove mods
But Little Tin Gods make their little mis-.
takes
In missing the hour when great love
wakes. --Kipling.
The Little Tin God will nothing care,
The Little Tin God will nothing know:
The Little Tin God with his head In ait
Aud his heart in Stygian depths below.
But vet they bow to his cursed rule
AS dominant ever, his powers grow;
Dejeetedly PROSTATE. they play the fool,
As humbly they eringe aud their weak.
nesses show.
The Little Tin God, whose face Is fair
Has heart that is scared by hypocrisy low;
But ever the Little Tin God will share,
With you, his cup of weakness and woe.
And all of our industries tribute pay
To the mighty arm Of the Little Tin God;
The aged father, whose hair is gray,
Who soon will find shelter beneath the sod.
ne youth, who IS merging In manhood's
prime,
The babe, who begins to toddle abroad,
Must never commit the awful crime
OF failing to reverence the Little Tin God.
But ray of hope from the darkness shows;
The people will rise in their righteous rage,
While yet the desire for liberty glows;
They will give the Little Tin God his
wage.
For the wages Of sin, so they say, are death,
And the public, freed from their torturinP
cage,
Will eject the Tin God, so, with Iabored
breath,
Ills career will close, as we, this page.

WE ARE A "wORLD
POWER"
Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such
Was the Case Before
lie Was Born.

The assurance with which you. Mr.
President. born in 1858. assume to have
discovered the United States and lis
policies is even more astounding than
the policies themselves. You tell US
that the Monroe doctrine will be an
object OF derision unless we have a
mighty navy. The Monroe doctrine
was thirty-hve years old when you
were born. and doing remarkably well.
as IL has been ever since. You tell us
that without still newer, still bigger
| hrst-class navy we must definitely
make up our minds TO accept a secon-
dary position, not only I'm political but
In commercial matters. When you cut
your first tooth we had the greatest
merchant marine in the world-greater
even than England's-and our navy
was Insignificant. Our mercantile ship
ping on blue water has steadily de-
clined under the restrictive policiea
you favor and it is smaller now than
II was when the first keel or the new
navy was laid
va WI no AAAAA hAntA gOnh AtAntA-
ship we have just become a world
power" What were we-pardon the
personal illustration-more than
generation before you were born, when,
with only ten million people and in
significant armaments. we flung the
Monroe doctrine into the teeth OF the
Holy Alliance?
Considering your intelligence and
your knowledge OF American history,
your attitude seems a mystery. What
can be its explanation?
What can be the purpose OF all these
shrieks for a mighty army and navy,
these frenzied denunciations OF Cow
ards" "weaklings" and "cravens" who
sordidly mind their own business in
stead of flying to arms. with no dis
cernibls provocation: these frantic
wavings OF the mailed fist in the faces
Of the nations? The spectacle is ex-
traordinary and bewildering. The
Country is In no danger from any
power OF Europe. All the nations OF
the Old World are watching each other.
afraid OF each other. and infinitely
more in dread OF us. the terrifying
American Peril" than we could pos
sibly be OF them. Not one OF them
would dream OF adding war with US
TO its other dangers, II we gave it
Chance to escape. If we could stand
against England with our great arma-
ments ninety years ago. when we had
only eight million people. what have
we to fear now with eighty millions
and eight hundred times the resources
and power for war? [From the New

VINDICATION
For Judge Payne-Investigation
Was Held Before Judge Dick
erson Last Night.
TIE CHARGES FALL FLAT
Best Citizens Testify to the High
Character of Payne.

An investigation OF charges pre-
fered against E. NJ. Payne, U. S.
commissioner was conducted before
Judge Dickerson last night. II
will be a surprise to most people to
know that charges Of any kind
were ever made against Judge
Payne, A lite history is there
fore in order.
Some time last summer w. L.
Sawyer addressed communication
to the Attorney General in Wash
ington making charges against
Judge Payne and asking for an in
vestigation. The Attorney Cen
eral referred the matter to Judge
Townsend who notified Judge
Payne and arranged for an investi-
cation at the present term Of court.
The chargesagalnst Judge Payne
were numerous, the first one being
that Judge Payne was a hard
drinking man" In addition to
this it was charged that he had
been drunk OH certain occasions,
that he had permitted liquor to be
introduced into the territory and
various other charges of similar
character.
A large number of witnesses
were subpoened. Attorneys w. /.
Gilbert and R. d. Welborne volun-
teered their services and conducted
the investigation in behalf of Judge
Payne and Attorney John A. Nc
Clure appeared for the complainant
w. L. Sawyer. A vast amount of
testimony was introduced but there
was little in it worthy of repetition.
The preponderance of testimony
failed TO substantiate a single
charge.
Nearly every lawyer in town, to-
gether with bankers and other good
citizens we're called on and tes-
tilted to the high character ofJudge
Payne. Not only were the charges
against him refuted. out the vast
amount Of testimony brought out
afforded striking testimonial to
to the worth Of an upright official
and an abundant vindication.
Judge Dickerson will render his
findings in the case oJudge To n.
send. Whatever the result may
be, Judge Payne is vindicated.

Preliminary Survey
Road from Muskogee to Shawnee
May Come Southwest.

Shawnee. O. r., Dec. I3.-The
preliminary survey, commonly call
ed the horseback survey" in rail-
road parlance. of the new road from
Muskogee via. Henryetta, l. T., to
Shawnee has been completed and
arrangements for the final survey,
preparatory to letting the contract
for building the line to grade, are
now being made.
The horseback survey was COM
pleted a few days since as far as
Shawnee and gentlemen are now
in the city preparing for the final
work. The road will be built first
to Shawnee and later on to the
southwest from this city. The
definite location Of the southwest
ern terminus cannot be learned,
except that it will probably be
Wichita Fails, Tex.
The new line is the Missouri, Ok
lahoma & Gulf, which is the Mus
kogee Uuion under the name ofthe
company, headed BY Mr. Kenehck,
which has bought the short line.
The Muskogee Union IS now only
few miles long and connects
Muskogee with the Missouri Pa
ci6c, which is good ground for the
report that the NJ. o. & c. belongs
to the Missouri Pacific.
