BRADLEY LEADS FORCES

Vigorous language and direct de-
nunclation of the methods and actions
Of the Connecticut company in rela-
ito nto the relocation OF Its tracks on

Church street enlivened the meeting Of
the board Of aldermen committee on

dred citizens in the small room where
the meeting was held and number Of
them took the opposite side to the one
taken by the railroad conpany's repre-
sentatives, Acting Manager Harlan and
Engineer Frederick H. Osborne. The
two were all but overwhelmed by a
flood of talk In which citizens and
property holders said that the railroad
company had acted In this matter In
order to gain some Interior object not
legally theirs, and that they had not
acted In good faith, IN fact they had
exceeded their legal rights and were
guilty Of trespass.
No action was taken by the commit
tee at It's executive session, but It
voted to meet next Monday night be-
fore the alderman meeting and decide
what report It would make to the
board The committee will go over the
streets mentioned at the meeting and
see how conditions are.
In favor of the location of the tracks
as proposed by hte railroad company,
Mr. Harlan explained the danger Of
having the tracks as near together as
they are now and said that the public
welfare was the only interest the COM
pany had In the matter.
The opposition then started in with
John II. Bradley as the headiner. He
stated that the work on the tracks had
been statred without permission and
gave a summary Of the points that the
opposition would make.
Thomas H. Sullivan stated that the
city engineer had no legal right to al

VIM. R. HARPER WRITES
HIS PRAISE OF CH|EFTAIN.

+ d. M. Mars is again issuing the Daily
Chieftain at Vinita. This daily was
established by Mr.. Mars ten years ago
and conducted by him successfully until
about two years ago, since which it has
passed through various manaeements
until its suspension last spring.
The Weekly Chieftain is one of the
landmarks of the country being the oldest
paper of continuous publication in what
was formally the Cherokee Nation and the
second oldest in East Oklahoma. 1t was
established by Gus Ivey, a well-known
Cherokee, in 1882.
Mr. Mars became its editor in 1890
and served continuously until 1906. He
is an able writer, and under his manage
ment no doubt the Chieftain will regain
its old-time popularity. To one who has
spent almost his entire life in this country
has secured his meager education here
and has witnessed the development from
a broad cattle range to the best section Of
one of the grandest commonwealthso of the
American Republic this veteran editors
return to the pioneer paper will be vel
come incident.
Besides advocating allotment, state
hood and other progressive measures in
advance of their time-to be appreciated
by the few and criticised by the many;
the Chieftain has led the procession in
other ways. Il was the only paper in the
old northern district to receive the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches and wasfor a time
the only home print paper in the country
and owned the only cylinder press. 1t
has performed well its part in the making
of great state.
Let us tip our hats to this old (yet ever
new) family paper and its honorable
editor. May they live long and prosper

A paper devoted to the doings Of so
ciety seeks to bring the non-dancing
man to confusion BY citing the exam
pies Of the great dancers of the past.
In classical as wen as Biblical times,
it seems, dancing was not considered
beneath the dignity Of the greatest
men. David danced before the ark,
and Socrates and Plato somewhat de-
spised those who could not dance with
ease and grace. The famous Sully,
minister to Henry ~, was a noted
dancer and so was the notorious Car
dinal Richelieu. Why, then, should
the modern young man consider it be-
meath his dignity to trip the light fan
