THE TRUE STATUS OF COLUNF-
BUS. A MANS LEGAL
MAJORITY.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Kindly spare
me the space in The Jeffs to ask for
a short explanation On The Knights
Of Columbus, and Columbus Day
do not doubt anything that you
publish in The Jeffs, but I have al
ways been taught that Columbus was
searching for a new and shorter
route to India and that when he
landed he thought that be had really
discovered a new route to India and
for this reason called the natives In
dians.
I was also taught that the In
dlans he carried to Spain were to
serve only as a proof that he had
made the discovery he intended to,
and that he was searching for this
route only to improve SPANS trade
and be in a better position to Chris
tan1ze the heather nations in the
far East. [ have no doubt that the
Catholics had something to do with
this since you say they did, but [
would like to have a little clearer
explanation.
Please tell me also, why it is that
young man under 21 years of age,
although well qualified in every other
respect and having a good high
school and college education, and
plenty of good common sense can
not vote, while a man who is 21
years old, although with no educa-
tiCn and who has to get some enc
else to show him how to vote and
whom to vote for, is allowed to vote.
Thanking you in advance for any
information you may give on the
subject, | am, Yours truly,
r. G.. ARANT.

Comment.

1t is quite true that the orthodox
histories eulogize Columbus as the
discoverer of America, and as good
man; scholars, however, who have
investigated the subject carefully
and examined Columbus's own cor
respondence, have long known he
was a fraud as navigator, and a
very wicked man.
AS l have already stated, and as
the historian, Del Mar, has demon
strated in the article which we pub
lished in the June number of Wat
sons Magazine, Christopher Column
bus was the original slave-trader, so
far as this country was concerned,
and he shipped cargo after cargo of
kidnapped Indians to Europe to be
sold into slavery.
2-The reason why men under
twenty-one years of age are not per-
mitted to vote is: the average youth
is not supposed to have developed.
sufficiently to understand his civic
duties, previous to that age; the
limit is arbitrary just as it is in
army service, jury duty, the age re-
quirement as to holding Office,
marrying, etc. II, E. w.

SECOND 'TOUCH" RECENTIN.

Some satisfaction was derived by
the local enforcement Officers of the
police department when Bert Nc
Laughlin, pr, prietor of the owl drug
store was fined the maximum OF
500 by Judge Houston in police court
at the evening session Friday. At
torney Clark represented McLaugh-

rme paid over the hard earned

cal department.,
A resume was given by Chief New
block and his subordinate of the raid
made on the owl about a month ago,
hut time had dimmcd their recollec-
tions very little. The evidence show
ed a plain case of violating the city
liquor ordinance and the judge failed
20 take into consideration that Berts

Since the negro porter, Ed Morri-
son, took French loaye Of absence, an
other more decorous negro tas been

The police haven't ruined their op-
ties to find out Morrison's wherea-
oouts, as the 500 fine has already
aided in raising the city's rather de-
p eted financial standing.

In a race with negro. the prize
a handsome Gladstone bag. Morris
Altenburg a former city patrolman,
won at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The bag was a recent purchase
for which the former officer had 20
fork over the sum Of Sl699, and be-
sides was packed with some choice
apparel and other masculine lingerie
TO numerous to mention.
The incident was unique IN that
Altenburg was passing his rooming
quarters at the Richmond "hotel" on
Main, near First when he noticed the
chocolate colored porter going in an
opposite direction with his coveted
piece Of personal property.
AlterbuEg stood amazed for the
space OF few moments hastily as
cended the stairs to find that the
lock on his room door had been for
ced and the bag no where to be found.
Returning TO the street he rounded
the corner and saw the negro hurry
Ing at a fast clip down East First. His
rapid gate increased to Il slight trot
and when confronting his quarry at
The AlcOrn hotel, the frightened
negro dropped his parcel and ran.
Altenburg didn't stop to pick up the
grip bur continued his chase.
Altenburg out OF breath and sore
ly fatigued, the negro was fading
away I'm the distance when officer
Plldngton was seen on his accustom-
ed beat II was only the work Of a
second for Pilklngton TO cross the
.thoroughfare and, gun in hand, stop

had been given him by a roomer Mt

over TO the county authorities, and on
a charge of burglary, plead not
guilty. His bond was fixed at $500
and he was committed to jail to await
hearing
Numerous complaints have been
coming from the Richmond Of recent
date but the police have been un-
able to locate the prowling thief who
has been cleaning a handsome pro
III from his work. Altenburg's room
was ransacked several weeks ago and
his room mate Robert Smith, lost a
grip containing family helrlooms for
which he would not have taken any
sum Of money. The young man Is
employed as n driller in the oil fields
and after his mothers death In Can

The grip so priced for its contents is
thought to have fallen into the same
hands as the man who was so cleverly

Taken as Ruse---Said To Have Told

Word from the county jail yester-

Walker, the alleged Broken Arrow
bank burglar, has the halucinatiou
that he is covered with an army OF
creeping insects Walkers actions
for the past few days have been Pc
culiar At times his cries have brought
the county jailer 10 the cell 10 pick of
some Of the disagreeable creepers.
1t Is said by officials that Walker Is
playing the Insane game pretty strong
but that he is really more sane than
any OF the prisoners confined in the
congested quarters,
An explanation has been made az
to how Walkers capture was ef-
fected that may tend to show that
his mind has really been effected by
his alleged experience in Broken Ar
row and ON his long race across the
prairie Walker is said to have con
fessed that he was, in the slang Of
the professional, the soup man"
That is, Walker arranged the proceed
ure for breaking the safe, and was
kept inside during both explosions IN

II is the custom among better train
ed yeggmen 10 leave the inside man

his escape had it not been for the
drowsy effects Of fumes, together with
being completely worn out by the
chase. 1t is probable that his mind
has been effected by the fumes as is
often times the case where strenuous
exercise follows the exposure.
