1t is to the business interest,
however, that the people look for
leadership in such matters; to the

the publisher, and if the results

one man, must support the efforts

Occasionally you will find q

sense of duty to the community

of the place seems to be dead
They will not bestir themselves

merchant works for his towns
interests he is working for his

to the little story we wanted to

81. LOUIS The merchants of the
place wall loud and long about
The growing evil of mail order
competition. The business of
that town is going to the cities.
Each month the receipts of the
merchants show decrease.
Each month they are just a little
nearer thr borderland Of bank
ruplcy. They denounce the pub.
nc for sending their money from
rome They want something
dore for them.
NJw let US see how much they
want this something done.
When the Kellogg Newspaper
company and the Western News
paper Union began issuing the
present series of Home Trade
articles the enterprising local
publisher in this town ordered
them at once. He proposed to
teach the public of his community
the folly of sending their money
to the mail-order houses. He
knew they could buy as cheaply
at home as they could in the
cities, and he would tell them
why they should buy at home.
When the first article appeared
the merchants slapped him on the
back and pronounced him a good
fellow. When he had printed the
second article he approached the
merchants, the men who had pro-
nounced him a good fellow, on
the subject of what they should
do to aid in the campaign of edu-
cation.

the public what you have in your
stores; tell them at what price

that you can do this"
l"But you would charge us for
the advertising" gasped the first
merchant approached. "Where

more business if | must spend the
profits in advertising?"
A few days later this same
merchant sent to st. Louis for an
order of stationery-letter heads
and envelopes And so it was
throughout practically all of that
town. They wanted something
done for them, but they were not
willing to do something for them.

business interests of that town
would not work together, they
would not support one another; (;
the merchants would not practice
what they preached.

The Cemetery Title

The tract of land in which our
city cemetery is now located was
grantee by the United States to
the "City of Anadarko and its
successors forever to have and
to hold the said tract of land
with the appurtenances thereof"
At the time of the transfer the
land had long been used by the
Indians as a burial for their dead
and ever since the transfer they
have not ceased to use it without
leave or let. The part so occu-
pied covers a little more than five
acres.
The date of the instrument
conveying title to the "City of
Anadarko and its successors for.
ever" in March 10, 1909. AL
most two years prior to this time,
June 1, 1908, the records show
that Father Isadore appeared be-
fore the city council with a Ger
tain petition, which is recorded
as being granted. But what the
nature of the petition was the
records do not show. In CONVEX
sation with Father Issdore, l
gathered that this action was
construed to mean a transfer of
possession, with the expectation
Of final title, to the petitioner,
Another portion of our ceme-
terry has already been purchased
and used by the colored people
of our community. While no one
would deny their right to a por-
ton of the city property, this can
only mean one thing,-the race
prejudice is strong even in death
Thus to the confusion worse than
confounded, depicted in former
communications, there is the
added danger that the magnifi-
cient gift of the Federal Govern
ment shall slip from our possess
ion. The part thus threatened
covers considerably more than
one third of the burying grounds
while the Indians are encroach.
ing more and more upon the re-
mainder.
These Indian graves will some
day be priced as historical land
marks. There are, besides,
scattered here ana there through
the "City of our Deed," the
victims of the typhoid scourpe,
and others who died in "rag-
town" days. In another place,
the two martyrs of lawlessne ess
lie in a CONSPICUOUS spot. In COM
ing days We will want to tell our
children of these things, but they
cannot be preserved where they
are. Many of them lie in the
streets of the city, while the
Indian graves are scattered at
random over an irregular plot
and must soon be lost to view for
ever.
So far as the Indian graves
are concerned, an appropriation
could doubtless be secured from
Congress TO move them to lots
which may be assigned to their
children for like purposes. The
affair involving Father Isadore's
petition is, of course, a delicate
matter for me, l being a minister
of the gospel and he a priest of
religion.
My motives have already been
impugned, but l have never been
unwilling to trust my conduct to
the judgment Of my fellows. l
am conscious of no interest in
the matter except that the title
to the ground remain where in
right it belongs, and it is to be
hoped that no one whose duty 1t
is to deal in affairs of religion
would want more.
l mention this matter of title
at this time in order that the
public may know that not only is
our burying ground falling into
confusion, but that the very
ground itself is threatened.

TO QuELL STRIKE

San Francisco, Dec. 6.--Col. Alfred
Reynolds of the Twenty-second United
States infantry will be in command
OF the troops which left here today on
a special train for Goldfleld, Nevada.
The detachment Is provided with a
supply of tents and with thirty days
rations. Nearly a full regiment will
DC put in the field, accompanied by
a platoon of machine guns.
This will practically place the town
of Goldfeld under martial law. The
action Of the Tonopah mine owners
in closing their mines has in a meas

be necessary, to send troops to that
town in conjunction with GoldfeId,

The situation is bein- watched

Rioting is Expected.
Goldfield, New, Dec. 6.--1t was not
supposed that the strike situation ha;i
reached such an acute state as to re,
quire such a precaution as sending
federal troops There is little talk on
t..e streets and no agitation whatever
The people generally accept the move
as meaning that the mine operators
are preparing to open up with non.
union miners If this is undertaken
the general OPINION is that there will
be riot and bloodsned. The having oi
troops in readiness, therefore, is only
a precautionary measure. Neither
side is giving out any information
their plans being guarded with the
utmost secrecy.
