fresh in their minds, they came through the Choctaw station, says the Little Rock Gazette, and thrilled the onlookers with their enthusiasm while they waited for their train, all-men, women and children-marched up and down the platform waving banners bearing the sinister words, ITO Okla homa or bust.''
 Meantime, they went to this land of promise; but instead of green fields, they saw only dreary wastes of half desert, half-prairie. As they tried to settle in their little tents and make a beginning with the soil, winds came, blinding their eyes with sand and oc- casionally tearing up their well-peg- ged tents. There was no one to cheer them, and after having used up all the provisions, and most of thir meagre savings, they decided to return home. Some, perhaps twenty, resolved to stay in Oklahoma and shift about until they had found a place where grass might grow if it were planted.
 But the majority have returned, weary and dsillusioned of the rainbow hopes, bent on being satisfied thsi time with what fertile and time-tried Arkansas can do for them.

CANNON AND CANNONISM.

The following editorial appeared in Golfers Weekly of recent date:
 From the Danville district of llli- nois will come returns which the whole country will scan eagerly on the night of Nov 3. Will there come the news of a great victory for progress and intelligence, or the old story of habit, local pull and stupid ruts? In Joseph c. Cannon of Illinois, writes William Hard, the United States now possesses the most stationary object ever exhibited within it's boundaries. The speaker observed the movement for pure food and clean meat with disgust. He was hostile to Senator La Follette's bill endeayoring to give a more human life to railway en- ployes. He was bitter defendeE of the spoils system, and no idea of modern morality in politics has ever penetrated his obdurate intellect He fought the resumption of specie pay ments formerly. as he fights the Appa lachian bill today. In small and big things it is the same. He fought the great rnd immeasurably valuable re- clamation bill as he fights any decent bit of architecture or any ltle public park.
 This is the speaker who appoints as chairman of the public lands con- mittee a man who is eager to help all individuals and corporations exploit those lands. It matters not what it may be; all Improvements look equal ly bad to him. He packs committees against them and thus buries them Is it not disgrace to a so-caled self.

If we were offered tht privilege of eliminating Aldrich, Rock efeller or Cannon from the influenc, in America, without hesitation w should choose Cannon as the mos dangerous of the three.
 If only the men of Danville woult vote as independent human beings and not respond, sheeplike and docile to the habits of the party and the dis trict! We fear Mr. Cannon will b.

STRAIGHT AND CROOKED THINKIN,
By EDWIN A. ME.
Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

STRAIGHT AND CROOKED THINKINI.
 AS a man thinketh in his heart 90 | Is he"
 The foregoing Scripture has two sides-a simple and mysterious side.
 The simple side-a man makes or mars himself by thinking; the mys- terious side-how does he do it?
 Leaving to the learned the mysteri- ous side, let us lay down two proposi- | tions:
 l. Straight thinking is conducive to health, success and happiness.
 2. Crooked thinking will produce dis. ease, failure and misery. The proof of these statements is in ! the demonstration of them. They are l workable propositions. They make good on trial. And that is why they 1 are in the book They are true not be- cause they are in the book; they are in the book because they are true.
 Thoughts are things" A conviction of mental mastery is a real force. The influence of the mind is a real power Men succeed because they get mental mastery. Men rule their bodies for health by the master full influence of mind. Men make hap piness by mentally decreeing the con ditions that make happiness.
 On the other hand
 A man can think himself into fail ure, misery, disease. Men are doing that every day. One can fix the image of illness in his mind and bring 1t about. Thousands do. They lessen their natural resistance to disease by fearful thoughts and literally make their bodies susceptible to the very things they fear They do not under stand that in most cases they can drive away their indisposition by holding firmly in mind the opposite thought
 Of course there are limitations to this power. One Scripture declares that man cannot by thinking add a single cubit to his height. Some fanat- ical things may be done and some fads practiced in the name of mind cure.
 But
 The world at large is just beginning to find out the tremendous potency of mind properly applied. It is just be- ginning to realize that strong thinking makes strong men, or. as we have put 1t, straight thinking makes straight men. s
 Sin itself is simply weak thinking.
 He who thinks in a weak, slouchy, slipshod way will lead weak, slouchy, slipshod sort of life. Crooked thinking will produce crooked men.
 Nothing is better established than that you can think yourself into vital, successful living or into moral, mental or physical invalidism.

THE DUTCH ABSORBED.

South Africa is very far from the
 United States, nevertheless there are
 thousands of intelligent Americans
 who cannot but be interested in the fact that that wonderful, rich and eX- tensive region is now essentially and enthusiastically an English colony a region where the English language will be spoken; where an American may travel and transact business with the same ease and confidence that he would in Canada or Australia. Six years have elapsed since the Boers surrendered at Pretoria and these sturdy descendants of Dutchmen have, in the last few years, advanced from the primitive condition of pea sants such as existed in the world 150 years ago, to realization of the strenuous and advanced conditions of modern life. Autonomous government has been restored to them and a scheme for the union of the South African states similar to that which
 has recently been accomplished in is under consideration. South Africa will probably be united within the coming year.

FIST FIGHT MAY
 RESULT FATALLY

George Ladner and Dan Meyer, two young white men, became engaged in a fist fight last night on East Barra- que street, as result of which Lad ner lies at his home in serious con- ditiOn. Ladner was struck in the head and knocked down unconscious, and still remains in that condition. An examination by Dr. Gallagher proved that his skull was fractured. Meyer was arrested and is being held in the city jail on a charge of assault land battery.
