This is a story told by the SEMI
mole Capital: At a recent meeting in
Guthrie of a large number of Indian
Territory and Oklahoma editors one
of the pencil pushers'' from the In
dian Territory appeared at the sup
per table at the Royal. where were
seated quite a number of editors, and
during the running conversation at the
table remarked: Gentlemen, this is
the first time 1 have been out of the
Indian Territory for fourteen months.
During that time have drunk moth
ing stronger than Adams ale. tea or
coffee. After the meeting adjourned
this afternoon I thought / would take
a little touch of high life in Guthrie.
In order TO bring about the desired
effect I have for the last five hours
been taking in rapid succession one
after another gin fizzes,' cocktails,
straights' and 'highballs.' As you can
readily see, they have not in the
slightest degree affected my equili-
brium. 1 would like to ask. What IS
the matter with Guthrie whisky? .
The query was answered by one OF
the brethren from Oklahoma, who
said: They took you for an Indian.
and you have been drinking Indian
'firewater' all the afternoon. whlch

BETTER BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

The senators from the states which
have repudiated bonds are very much
exercised over the probability that
there is something in the arbitration
treaties which this country has nego-
tiated with a number OF European
countries that would permit the ques-
ton OF the validity of the repudiated
bonds to be arbitrated. They have
scanned the provisions OF the treaties
very carefully. and have not been able
to detect a loophole through which the
bonds could be dragged into an arbi-
tration court Still. the loophole may
be there. Language may conceal loop
holes as well as thought. II is pos
sible there are some exceedingly shrewd
attorneys engaged upon the problem
Of getting the cash for the repudiated
bonds. The prize is big one. 1t is
safe statement that no means known
to human ingenuity will be left un-
tried to have these bonds. the product
Of reconstruction corruption, declared
valid
II there is a possibility that the
treaties can be construed as including
1nese bonds as subjects for arbitration
there ought TO be no hesitation in
either rejecting them or having them
so amended that the bonds of a state
wouldn't be covered by them under
any circumstances. Perhaps it would
be the better plan to have the amend
ment put in the treaties whether they
are thought to contain a possibility
Of covering them or not. The amend
ment could not do any harm and might
prove to be a very wise provision. 1t
is better to be on the safe side-to
take no chances.
