The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-04-15

The witty vicar of country parish
in the north Of England was often
panied at the apparent apathy dis
played by members of his congrega,.
tion towards matters of religion. He
did his best to impress them for good,
but somehow he seemed to make very
unsatisfactory progress. One day, as
he was out for a ride on horseback in
his parish, the horse made a sudden
plunge, and he found himself lying
full length on his back in a ditch
bottom. Fortunately, it was soft,
otherwise the consequences might
have been more serious. He got up
and, taking a survey Of the place, ex-
claimed as he walked away:
We'll, there is at least one place
in my parish now where l have left
an impression"

PERILOUS POSITIONS.

Dr. Forbes WinslOw has found In
studying statistics Of insanity that
locomotive engineers and fremen are
unusually apt to become mentally de-
ranged. In list Of seventy-four trades
and professions that Of the engineers
stands seventh from the top In this
respect. As records Of 10000 engineers
and firemen entered into these statis-
tics, they have a good basis OF relia'
billty. The three exceptionally destruct'
i've accidents to passenger trains In
England In the last year or two, those
OF Salisbury, Grantham and Shrews'
bury have all been due TO failures OF
thoroughly reliable engineers TO see
signals or TO Judge correctly their
speed and position at critical moments
Naturally there Is active discussion or
the strain which Is being put on en-.
glneers by their service, and OF the ex-
tent to which they weaken. II not to
the point OF insanity, at least to that
OF unreliability OF attention during
their work. The railway unions have

country storckeepcr needs as much. pro.
lection as the farmer, perhaps more.
says the Chicago Journal. The farmer
should he encouraged to deal IN the
nearest town or village. The parcels
post Is an enemy to this rural com.
munity life. It will increase the artif.
cial markets In the cities and curtail
the natural home markets. The govern.
ment's paternalism could find more L.
climate objects than the suppression
OF normal healthy neighborhood ex.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD CHINA.

II China IL awakening. are the West.
crn nations awakening to China? DR..
Arthur II. Smith, the well.known
American missionary, shows In an In.
tercsting book that this country has
not followed Its missionaries and Its
ministers Of famine relief with any
deep intellectual or even commercial
understanding Of China. 1t IL strange
that this nation, ut once mercantile ana
generous, should have made SO little
effort to understand the Chinese on
their own soil, and should have failed
to heed the plain statement OF Ii Hung.
Chang that III Americans want the
trade Of China they must come after
It." Our attitude toward China has
been like our attitude toward South
America. American cOnsuls have been
preaching to us for years to learn the
countries to which we ship our goods.
Yet no traders are 80 little at home

PARCELS POST NOT WANTED.

The Department OF Agriculture Is
taking a paternal interest In the pros
perity OF the farmer. 1t Is teaching
him 10 have better crops, better ma.
chinery and better buildings. Now
comes Postmaster General Won Meyer
with an intlmatlon that the POstofiice
Department also wants 10 take pater-
nal Interest In the farmers. IL wants
10 give rural residents the parcels post.
This" according 10 Mr.. Won Meyer,
In a Philadelphia speech, will be n
great boon 10 the farmers on the rural
routes, because when they are able to
order their goods by telephone or postal
card Il will relieve them OF the lncOn-
yenlcncc OF going 10 town TO obtain the
necessarIes Of life The Postmaster
General admits that country storekeep-
crs strongly object TO this form OF be.
ncyOlence 10 the farmers. But he says
he vii! quiet their objections by giving
farmers a lower parcels post rate on
their local delivery routes than from
the outside. Does Mr.. Won Meyer i'm,
agIe that even this concession will
protect country stores from the aggres-
slye city mail order houscsf The fatal
flaw in Mr.. Won Meyers reasoning, as
quoted above, is the superstition that
the farmer needs to be pampered until
his conditions OF living are as artificial
as those Of the average city resident
He Is 10 have the trolley car at his
door, the telephone in his house, his
daily mail delivery, which will include
all his groceries and store supplies
Neither the farmer, nor his wife, mol
his children are 10 feel the need OF
"going TO town. One may well doubt
whether the average rural resident APP
preciates or needs quite 80 much atten
ton on the governments part. Thu

VERY PERpLExIN0 QUESTION.

Unless things change, and very radl.
cally. the old heartrending cry. "Oh.
save us from our friends!" will have
to be amended so as to read. "Oh. save
lis from those who love u.s." At first
blush this may seem like nonsense. but
Just think: Almost every morning We
read Of some young man killing some
young woman because he loves her 50.
1t has got to the point In some parts
Of the country where the fathers Of
marrlagcablc young women will not
permit the young men who love them
to enter the house until they IRE
searched for concealed weapons. How.
ever. there has always been more or
less OF this. SO that 1t will not be
worth while to worry over II. But we
should take some cOgnlznncc OF the
fact that the trouble II not confined nj.
together to young lovers. nor does 1t
always result In shooting. but some
times manifests Itself In ways which
are equally disngreeable and more hu.
initiating. Take. for instance, the man
who was 40 fond Of u woman that when
he was gazing ut her with rapt on.

DOCTOR TAFT.

Chicago Evening Post.-Corpulence
and credulity go together. A fat man
actually exists in Raleigh, NJ c., who
gave stranger $40 for tne same medi-
cine that reduced the goodly Secretary
Taft He gained forty pounds in sew
enteen days.
Mr.. Taft, indiscreet, man, laughed
nightly when he heard the story. Fat
men should not laugh. 1t is unfair to
the surrounding state. And while Mr..
Taft was laughing the secret of flesh
reduction was shaken out Of him.
Don't put any more trust in antifat
medicines" quoth ne. "The way to
get thin is to eat only four ounces at
each meal, work hard and keep in good
hnmor."
We are sure the 3OO-pounder from
Raleigh went away hugging this recipe
to his expansive breast. Secretary Taft
is its living testimonial, good hrmored,
hard working and sylph. The advice
was the truest charity-given so gen
erously that none was kept by the
donor.
