Shady Walks Of Life often Parallel
Paths Of Higher Aims.

My old friend ]. w. Edmonds says:
Does it seem strange to you that the
shady walks of life should so often run
parallel with the path of higher aims,
such as art, literature and the like?
Here we have Paddy the Pig with a
posthumous gliding of reputed love
of flowers and poetry AS to this dual
instinct, we have as an authority OF
appeal Bret Harte, who recognized the
existence of such a peculiar human
trait in his portrayal of the characters
Of Jack Hamlin and John Oakhurst.
Then we have the Hon. Dick Cantield
as living example. What's the secret
of nature in this respect? My own
theory Is that men of normal mold,
whose occupations force them steadily
into one groove, must seek their di-
versions in diametrically opposite
channel"
Edmonds touches a soft spot The
'Wicked Gibbs" was a lover OF art,
and much appreciated by J. Pierpont
Morgan. Edmund Clarence Stedman
was poet and banker. He was an
imitator Of Samuel Rogers, the original
mixer Of finance and poesy. Rogers
was a millionaire banker-a very
Croesus. He could draw unlimited
checks alike on the Bank of England
and on the treasury of the Muses.. AT
the same time, Rogers was the ugliest
man in England. His home was such
IL - mould
and try to improve on. and the only
ungainly thing in it was Rogers him
self. Morgan never laid claim to beau
ty. He is richer than Rogers was,
and his art collection will be the
grandest on earth if he lives ten years
longer
Rogers most priced possessions we're
two small pieces of paper in gold
frames. One Of them was Bank of
England note for 100000 ($5,O0O,-
O00) and the other the original re-
ceipt of John Milton for G5 ($25), khe
sum he received for the copyrightyof
Paradise Lost from Simmonds, The
bookseller. The bank note was one
OF the only four which were ever
struck from a plate that was after
ward destroyed. The Rothsehilds had
one impression Mr.. Coutts had an
other, the Bank Of England still has
the third Rogers. as / have said, had
the fourth. It hung in his parlor with
in anyones reach, but valueless to all
except it's owner No one ever thought
Of stealing 1t, because it would have
been only so much waste paper, but
Rogers touch could have converted 1t
into a shower of gold.-Victor Smith,

NEGLECT Of Wounded.

The German army is looked upon as
the model army and the greatest mill
tary machine in the world but in
many points the Germans are far be-
hind other powers, especially is this
fact noticeable in their treatment, or l
should say, neglect, of their own killed
and wounded in the field. On many oc-
casions the killed have been left for
days unburied, and in many instances
the bodies have not been buried at all,
but left to bleach in the sun and be-
come food for vultures. In the opera
tions in the Karras mountains against
Jacob Morenga, the Hottentot outposts
fired on the advancing Germans,
killing one man and wounding an Off
Ger and VITO men. The column contin-
ned to advance, the wounded being
left behind with only two men to pro-
tee. them from the enemy, and it was
not until "a hours later that the
wounded were brought into camp. Had
the Germans been fighting a civilized
power leaving the wounded behind on
the field would not have mattered
much, as they would have been well
treated had they fallen into the enc
my's hands, but with the Hottentots it
is altogether different, as they would
have slaughtered numerically any
German who fell into their hands,

Billups bill. More intoMcants are sold m
vinita than ever before in the history Of
town, and the Billups bin has had a fair
trial and hasn't made good. Our friend
Mcdonald asks With great JUNCTION thai
somebody point out the weak places in
the Billups bin
The law. IN the first place, is weak be-
cause it is contrary to the enabling act
under which Oklahoma became a state.
The Billups bill was not in the mind Of
congress when the section prohibiting the
sale Of liquors in the Indian Territory por-
ton Of the state for twenty-five years was
written. Congress meant to protect the
Indians of the five tribes, according to its
treaties with them, by prohibiting the sale
Of lntoxicants to them.
The Billups bill broke faith with con-
gress and caused the state of Oklahoma to
20 into the saloon business--to do the
very thing that congress said should not
be done for twenty-five years. One of
the conditions under which congress con-
sented for us to become a state Of the
Union was that we should exclude intoxi-
cants until the last Indian Of the present
generation was Of age.
Our friend is grieved that the officers
fail to enforce the law, and it is the shame
of Oklahoma that they do not; but the
Billups bill is especially weak in that it
seeks to do that which an individual citi-
zen cannot do---namely. sell liquor 1t
debauches the state by the establishment
Of state saloons, or dispensaries, in the
face Of the enabling act. Public senti-
ment is not in sympathy with the Billups
law because it breaks faith with the gov
ernment, and no law can be effective that
does not have healthy public sentiment
behind it. The theory Of democratic gov
ernment is that the state should not be
above the individual citizen in the enjoy
ment Of special privileges
For proof of the workings of the Billups
bill look around on every side at the satur-
malta Of crime and drunkenness and the
reign of the bootlegeer all over this
country. What we want is results, not
sentiment nor political buncomb 1t is

OKLAHOMA BOOSE Law.

Rev. J. B. Mcdonald had an article in
Saturdays edition of the Daily Chieftain
in defense Of Oklahoma's dispensary law
III which he attacked the local option law.
The two ways of fighting the liquor
traffic in this country are local option and
prohibition. Ii should be presumed that
10Th are championed by sincere people
who really want to control by law the
liquor business.
The Billups Bill is now an issue IN Okla-
homa politics. and under our system OF
initiative and referendum will be voted
m at the November election. If the people
like the measure il win be adopted other
wise il win be rejected. Il is, therefore, a
proper subject for newspaper discussion.
Our friend Mcdonald denounces local op-
tion. vet he declares that the Billups bill
IS an exact copy Of the Missouri local op-
ton law. This is one Of those political
paradoxes that one meets everywhere
when bunch of politicians are in the
saddle.
Those familiar with local option results
all over the South know it has driven the
saloon out Of more than two-thirds of the
counties in Texas, and in nearly all of the
Southern states it has been successful
whereas in Kansas, Iowa, Maine and else
where prohibition has largely failed. Mis-
sissippi has fewer saloons with local option
than has Maine with fifty years Of prohl-
bition.
The Chieftain don't care to argue the
merits or dement's Of local option. but
locally it is easy to prove the absolute
and shameful failure Of the Oklahoma
