Mr.. NICOLL AND OUR 4RISTOC
RACIES.

A Boston clergyman, the Rev. c. ".
De Lyon Nicoll. has written book, the
mere preliminary announcement Of whose
contents has sufficed TO get his name into
the news columns of papers all over the
country, not to mention a gathering
storm in BostOn's historic teacup. Ac-
cording 10 the reverend gentleman,
There are but sixteen persons in all
New England worthy Of mention as be-
longing to real society

ing, we sometimes can command success.
if only at first and for little way. for
success is Of many kinds. Our French
friends. with their love of exactitude Of
expression and clearness of definition,
have classified them for US: wild sue
cess enormous success" success of
merit" success Of esteem success of
scandal and success of curiosity" The
Rev. Mr.. Nicoil's success is one of curl
osity. and the curiosity is he himself.
To write book with which only sixteen
persons can possibly be satisfied, and at
which the rest of those concerned will
laugh or sniff, is. indeed. an extraordi-
nary proceeding, to be explained only by
a total lack Of sense Of humor combined
with an entirely mistaken conception Of
current social values in this country-in
any part Of it
Poor Boston, We had thought it's So
cial affairs settled once for all after the
conclusion of that protracted battle over
the passenger list Of the Mayf1ower,
which ascribed humble but honorable
occupation to two members of that small
company of ancestors. And now the
cream of their numerous descendants is
cut down by Mr.. Nicoll to bare sixteen.

pressed her opinion that the book is fool

that it becomes infectious. We remember
the list of New York's 400 and what fol-
lowed in its wake. apart from its almost
immediate reduction to $50. All our So
cial centres began TO count aristocratic
noses. Has the Rev. Mr.. NicOll brought
another social census upon us? Will our
blue books and social directories have to
be revised, and will the new editions be
shrunk to insignificant proportions? We
await developments with quanimity
The average Americans only curiosity
will be to know as soon as possible how
any man In this busy age and country
can have enough idle time on his hands
to devote himself seriously to such pif-
fling affairs

An evangelist at Oklahoma City told
this story of a woman who came home
and was showing a beautiful vase
which she had won playing euchre.
Her boy took out a $40 bill and said
he had won that in the back end of a
saloon. His mother was Mortified,
He said:
Mother, we played the same game.

the same time and we both won, and
all the difference was that you played
up on the boulevard and l played in
the saloon" Until we stop the gam
bling on the boulevard we cannot con-
sistently be too hard of the boys. The
evangelist aimed to hit and shot to
kill.

A magazine writer asks lis idleness
crime?" It may not be criminal TO
be without anything to do but it is
pathetic. This of course applies alone
to the man or woman who has means
and simply don't want to do any work.
The orphan. the lonlely, the aged and
the crippled are not in it with the
lazy ones VINO have no employment
and don't want any The latter are
to be pittied more than blamed The
woman who has to sit and hold her
hands all day is living life of misery
unspeakable. The woman who pre-
pares no meals for her husband. who
has no little ones to annoy her is a
picture of pathos as deep as the ocean.
The way TO be happy is to be busy.
The way to keep out of trouble is to
be eyerlastingly at something. To be
a mere idler is to run the risk of being
a tattler, a gossip and mayhap a
.slanderer before one realizes it. This
is a busy old world and there is no
place for an idler.

At a time when it is disorganized
as never before in its history, the fed
eral supreme court has before it for
action several cases of the greatest
Importance to the nation. The Stan
dard Oil and American Tobacco pro-
lceedings involve grave questions af-
fecting the powers of the national gov
ernment TO suppress or punish corpor-
ations believed to operate in restraint
Of fair competition. 1t was expected
that decisions in these cases would
be handed down months ago; and for
while Wall street found it an en-
joyable diversion TO set the date for
the momentous announcement for
some particular Monday But even
Wall street grew weary; and with the
passing of Justice Brewer and Chief
Justice Fuller it became certain that
further delay would be taken to avoid
action by meager bench. The hear
ings are now set for the first week of
January, and the corporation tax case,
involving the taxing functions of the
federal government, will come up at
the same time.
Early action in these proceedings
would relieve a considerable uneer
tainty that exists in the industrial and
commercial interests affected. But it
is better to wait and secure a judg
ment that will not be open to the crit
icism of representing only an incom-
plete court Meanwhile, the court may
be able to advance three other pro-
ceedings of considerable interest-th'
long contest between Virginia and
West Virginia over the obligations of
the latter arising from it's separation
nearly fifty years ago; the Gompers
contempt case, and the New York
World libel suit-the latter a nine-day
sensation now almost forgotten.

OWEN WILL URGE SALE
OF SEGREGATED COAL LAND

Sulphur, Okla, Oct. 26.-In a two
hours speech in the court house here
yesterday Senator Robert L. Owen re-
viewed his work as a senator in Wash.
ington and charged the delay in the
final settlement of the tribal affairs of
the Indians to corrupt politics and to
the desire of the federal employees in
the Indian bureau, to prolong their
jobs.
The senator assured both the In
dians and the white people that he
would leave nothing undone upon the
convening of congress in his efforts
to immediate sale of the coal and as
phalt lands and to an early final set
tlement of the tribal affairs of the
Five Civilized Tribes.
He assured the Indians also that he
would use every honorable effort to
secure a large appropriation for the
improvement of Platt National park
and its medicine springs" which the
Chickasaws and Choctaws ceded to
Uncle Sam to prevent the springs from
falling into the hands of individuals
who would commercialize them. In
closing the senator made a strong ap-
peal for Cruce. prohibition and woman
suffrage.

tration has written upon the statute
books of Oklahoma more beneficent
legislation in the past three years than
was ever enacted by any other state
in a similar length Of time. If our
republican opponents can name a
single state that has passed as many
laws in the peoples interest as Okla
homa. every democratic nominee in
the state will be willing to withdraw
his name from thhe ticket.

No democrat should fool himself in
to the notion that a vote for a repub-
lican will prove non-partisan vote,
or that republican once elected will
not line up with his party Vinita has
had a forceful reminder of that in the
election of Mayor o. L. Rider Instead
of giving us a non-partisan business
administration he had hardly warmed
his chair as mayor of the town until
the taking care of his party was his
sole care much to the discontinue of
a bunch of democrats who had voted
for him Better make sure of it by
Isimply stamping under the rooster.

DEFINITE PROPOSITION
TO BUILD PORTER ROAD

A definite proposition has at last
been made 5y the Porter railroad to
build into Vinita G. A. Masters, rep
.resenting the road was in the city yes
terday and stated that the road would
be built into this city, provided Vinita
would give the right-of-way across the
county.
1t is estimated that the right-of-way
will cost about 5000 a mile or 1000
for the entire distance across Craig
county This amount the Commercial
club will undertake to raise at once.
While the road will only be built to
Vinita now, it is to be built on to ST.
loan Springs, Ark, as soon as the
fianances can be so arranged

An exceedingly useful life, rich in
promise for the future, was that which
ended last Saturday night with the
death of Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver,
United States senator from Iowa. Mr..
Dolliver was the son of a humble min
lister in the mountain district of West
Virginia. but by the time he was of
age he had pushed his way through
college and had been admitted to the
bar In Iowa he found a free atmos-
phere for development of his ambi-
tions. and late in the eighties he was
sent to congress. After iive terms in
the lower house he was appointed in
1900 to fill out the term of Senator
Gear and was elected in 1902 and
1908. In spite of his eloquence, his
exceptional capability, and his recog-
nized high character, Senator Doliver
never became a national figure while
he followed the studied course of the
politician who is regular" above all
other considerations; but when, as he
frankly admitted, he came to realize
that the moneyed interests were exert
ing a vicious power in party politics
and in congress, he at once came into
wide prominence. He was thereafter
a leader, fearless and feared, of the
progressive element in his party and
1t was his arduous work in congress
and on the platform in behalf of the
new order of things that weakened a
once rugged constitution. Insurgency
has its martyr in a man for whom
the highest honors were possible as
one of its leaders.

There are a number of republican
