in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
This season it has come still
further west ard will be seen in
Oklahoma and Texas.
Society always took kindly to
polo in the east and the very best
people attended and were enthusi-
astic fans. This is due probably

gentlemen OF excellent families
who leave fine positions to play the
game.

Chickasha is composed of the best
players in Indiana, Ohio and Michi-
gan. In the rush line will be seen

more than ony other goal tend in
the finals last season in Indiana.
Polo on roller skates is played in
three fifteen minute periods with
Eve minute intermissions. ltis
wildly exciting from start to finish.
The teams are composed of five
men; two rushers, center, half
back and a goal tend. The scoring
is very simple and one game will
acquaint anyone with the rules.
Each goal counts one for the team
scoring it and by the total number
of goals is the victory determined.

WILL IT ENTER MEXICO
Rumored th4t Rock Island VIII Build
Line to Mazatlsn

Mexico City, Oct. 3o.-The Wis
it of a group of Rock Island rail
road stockholders, headed by
James Campbell, of St. Louis, to
the Western coast of Mexico, has
given rise to a rumor that the
Rock Island is contemplating the
construction of a road from some
point in Texas to Mszatlan. The
rumor is apparently based largely
on the statement of BE-. Yoaku1n,
chairman of the board of directors,
that when the Rock Island finished
building roads in Texas it would
look to Mexico.

JUDGE DICKERSON WORTHY OF 1T

While seeking to estimate every
man at his true worth, the Ex-
PRESS is not accustomed to over
indulgence in the newspaper puff
habit and it has little patience with
nauseating sychophanty that the
is often passed out to public men
by the press. But where the oppor-
tunity is presented to speak a word
in behalf of public official who is
truly worthy, the Express believes
In giving praise where praise is
due whoever the man may be.
Such case is that Of Judge J. T.
Dickerson who is being mentioned
as an applicant for appointment to
the Office of federal judge for the
eastern district of the new state.
The man who is appointed will
be a republican, and while the Ex-
PRESS is democratic paper, it is
as deeply interested in seeing a
worthy man receive the honor as 1t
would be if the appOirtee was to
be democrat. It therefore has no
hesitation speaking in behalf of a
man who has earned the respect
and admiration Of the people of his
entire district BY his spotIess char
a,serand his upright admins Z

ANOTHER PROTEST
Chickasha, Oct. 26.

DAILY EXPRESS: My first and
greatest reason for a long noon
hour in the schools is health. The
most of the patrons are laboring
people who have supper between
seven and eight o'clock. After
eating cold lunch, the children
overeat themselves and have bad
dreams and restless nights, no ap-
petite for breakfast and in just
about week the doctor is called.
For people who can have five
O'Clock dinners it is better but we
are not all bankers gentlemen.

THE PLATFORM AND THE MAN

The platform adopted by the
democrats of this district is repub'
lished in the EXPRESS today.
Mr.. Voter, read that platform
study it with care. 1t is almost
identical with the platforms adopt
ed by the democrats all over the
new state. II declares plainly up
on the principles for which the
democratic party is contending in
this campaign and which they will
embody in the constitution if they
elect majority of the delegates to
the convention.
There is not an equivocal state
ment in the platform. Anybody
can read it and understand clearly
what the democracy stands for. On
the control of corporations, the
race question, the initiative and re
ferendum and every othere issu, the
platform needs no Interpretation.
When you have read the plat
form, consider the man who is
back of it. Mr.. Hayes has pledged |
himself to stand for every principel |
and every policy enunciated in the
platform. The people of this dis
trict knew him; they know his
ability, his honesty and his cour-
age. They trust him for they
know he can be depended upon to
carry out every promise and with
his splendid abilities Mr.. Hayes
will make fight in the convention
for the peoples interests such as
few men are capable of making.

ton of the affairs of his Office. The
only exception to this statement is
that Of the evil doers for whom
the Judge has proved terror by
his fearless enforcement Of the law.
When Judge Dickerson came to
the Territory gambling devices
and gambling houses were running
all over the district. There were
slot machines in nearly every hotel.
Under instruction of Judge Dick
erson, Ben Colbert. U. S. Marshal,
was instructed to smash all the
machines and close out the gambl-
ing, which was promptly done;aud
there hasn't been a slot machine in
this district since. and in the main
the gambling houses have been
closed.
At the first term of court he
held at Ada, he passed out to the
grafters: Inadequate considera-
ton for lease to the wards land |
is sufficient evidence of the incom-
potency of the guardian. and be
should at once be discharged"
This was the hardest lick the graft
ers had received, and resulted in
much good TO the Indian children
and much dissatisfaction among
yrafters. A prominent lawyer in
Ardmore. soon after this decision,
old the following story:
He said he was standing on the
treets of Ardmore talking with

People who are engaged in appar-
ent Christian work are sometimes
really found to be practicing decep-
ton upon themselves and others, Sew
eral such instances have recently CONF
to our notice. One has appeared in
long article in a religious paper
telling Of some brothers sacrifice and
devoted efforts to found a Christian
school.
One who reads the article would sup
pose that he was laboring with gem
uine zeal to promote the Kingdom of
God, but Il carefully conceals the
fact from others outside that there
is another Christian school In the
same town. long established and fruit
ful in good work.
This brother. therefore, is not work
ing TO advance the Kingdom of God
but TO build up something In which
he Is personally interested.
The same thing Is often done when
people work to start a new church in
a town where there is already a we'll
equipped church which only lacks sup
port in order to produce larger
results. To split up Christian forces
into hostile camps is not service TO
