Tomperauoo aud Other Cranks.

After reading the article in the
Chieftain of July 26, from J. K.
Thompson, OF Muskogee, on "Prohibi-
tion;n and comments on same in the
Chieftain on day following, we think
the unkind criticisms OF the Womans
Christian Temperance Union were un-
called for, and rather premature, as
there seems no cause for alarm on the
part OF those who are antagonistic 20
this worldwide organization. There
is not the faintest suggestion in the
article by Mr.. Thompson that the
work be turned over 10 the w. G. T.
o. but merely suggests that 1--WE
invite the cooperation OF the w. G.
It. T., and other bodies Of like purpose

son recognizes the fact that in the or

which numbers five hundred thousand

are W. C. r. L. 'cranks," but they
are comparatively few. There are also
religious cranks (eyery church organi-

.LONG-LOST
BROTHERS FOUND
IgOrOtes From the Philippines
Talk Greek Language
May be Missing Band.

When Charles Gibson, the noted In
dian philosopher, who calls Eufaula
home, but who is known all over the
Territory, told Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Merrick, one day months ago, that
the Igorrote tribe Of Filipinos "talk
Greek, " they laughed at him. Actually
laughed at him, and joyially, perhaps
asked, "What Brand ?"
Mr.. Merrick, who is an attorney
here, but whose time is well taken up
looking after his own and his wife's
extensive properties, and Mrs. Mer-
rick, who is a Creek, have returned
from the Worlds Fair. They are not
laughing at Gibson's statement now,
and are even inclined to listen to his
pet theory that the Creek Indians
came from the Philippines centuries
on centuries ago.
Now they didn't believe Gibson's
idea about the little, all but naked,
men speaking Greek, but oproge that
they were right and that their friend
was wrong, Mrs. Merrick spoke few
words OF Creek to one OF them.
Immediately the little brown mans
face frightened up and he jumped for
joy BY the time he had finished yell
ing "hyie elogooselem jut" large
crowd had gathered around, and Mrs.
Merrick and the little brown men were
the very center OF attraction. They
could talk TO her, the first person out-
side OF their own tribe they had con-
yersed with since the day they were
put on board that big transport at
Manila. The conversation went on,
and tile bystandeFs stood agape. 1t
lasted an hour or more, during which
time Mrs. Merick and the men in fig
leaf clothes became quite well ac-
quainted.
