The movement to resist taxes or
Indian homesteads is exceedingly un-
wise from most any standpoint from
which it may be viewed The land is
the proper thing to tax and the more
land that can be exempted from taxes
the higher win be the rate on other
property. Let the land be taxed in
proportion with all other property.

There is little excuse for many peo-
pie in vinita not having clean grounds
with grass and flowers and a good veg
etable garden. With the cost of living
reaching skyward and the ease with
which vegetables can be grown in
abundance everybody ought to have
a good garden.

Program Announced for
Teachers Meetingi in Vinita

Vinita looks forward with pleasure
to the fact that the teachers of North
eastern Oklahoma, twenty counties,
will meet here in association on the
25th and 26th of this month.
This is the day of organization, and
we are glad to see the teachers taking
this step
The program presented to us by the
committee seems to us remarkably
strong, not only because of the topics
selected for discussion but, also. be-
cause of the ability of the speakers,
and the representation given the diff
ferent departments of school work.
Presidents of state schools, city
superintendents, county superintend-
ents, and rural school teachers and
school district officers all meet on the
same platform-on the level. Dis
cussion of school topics from the yari-
ed view points must be helpful
Vinita is honored, too, in the fact
that Governor Chas. N. Haskell has
promised to be with us on the second
day OF the association, when he and
Judge Turner our own Judge Turner,
will discuss Our Public Schools"
Hon. Milton CARRIER of Enid has been
asked to be with us, and we sincerely
hope he will, but, so far, he has not
been heard from.
Teachers, we welcome you and bid
you "God-speed. Vinita feels honor
ed by your coming and promises open
doors and hearty welcome The
program is printed below. and the edi-
tors will be personally obliged If ex-
changes will copy this editorial and
program together.

Three Weeks Necessary to Com

NEW YORK, Aug. o0.--How would
you like to ride 2400 miles in a dead
locomotive, sleeping every night. in the
frebbxl That's what Frank I. Fitz.
gerald, chief engineer OF the National
Lines of Mexico, is doing. The engine
is to be delivered via Ell Paso, Texas,
crossing the Rio Grande over a new
railroad trestle, and proceeding thence
TO the capital of the republic. The dis
tance that will be covered is 2400 miles,
and the novelty of the journey lies in
the fact that Mr., Fitzgerald is spend
ing all his time in the tender and cab
of the engine, which were fitted up for
his convenience. It will take him about
three weeks to reach his destination.
The coal space on the tender was rooted
over and housed in front. and with the
aid OF an oil stove, cooking utensils,
ice box and food chests, Mr.. Fitzgerald
conducts light housekeeping on linn
tied scale. Before starting the tender
tank was filled to its capacity with
WATERLOO gallons-so that he will not

Sleeps in Fire Box.
But the strangest part of all is the
fact that his sleeping apartment is the
empty fire box, in which was placed n
mattress and pillow. This is believed
to be the first time on record that any
man has slept in the fire hole Of To-
comotive, and fFitz'' said before
starting that it was just as comfortable
and safer than a berth in a Pullman
car, as it is not recalled that in a sin
gle instance has wreck caused n col

worst that could happen in the case of

gerald, would be a severe shaking up.
He is an experienced locomotive engi.

through with this engine in the manner
described he has not seen fit to dis
close, but it is assumed that there is
reason, and that il will probably
come out later.

New York likes Mrs Montt. wife Of

New York is the Eden of beautiful
women,' she said suddenly. with a
generosity seldom found in beautiful
women. ''It must be quite wonder
