Some Pertinent Quarters.
rs It strange we of Oklahoma who
have passed. through the crucible are
pleased with the praises and the sue
cesses which have marked each effort
to ascend the ladder Of right and
liberty?
Are we to be blamed when We
assert that the wisdom Of the fathers
bring us Dlessings-their errors omit

We are IN the land OF promise-the
place where the traditions are re-
