THE AMERICAN ISSUE
Great Sport in Britain

~ love lOI sport Is not COHIl1leQ TO
America. All nations play-all men
play-but their games and contests
respectively differ. In all countries
the press caters to human nature
edits sporting sections, baseball, mo-
torng, boxing and even aeronautic
sections, and whole magazines treat
ing of only one sport are published
In England one of the most popular
sporting magazines is Cycling"
weekly published for those who make
bicycling their favorite recreation. 1t
has a countrywide circulation, for
bicycling over the wonderful British
roads is the health giving, car fare and
time saving sport of millions of peo-
pie For years Cycling" has pro-
NOTED what are known as Century
Competitions"
Over the entire kingdom Ioo-mile
routes are planned. The rider who
covers the most IOo-mile, or century
routes, in one year, is the recipient of
highly priced gold medal. Each
century must be ridden within twenty
four hours, and only the Ioo-mile unit
is figured in the competition. Shorter
distances are not recorded All along
the routes are stations where detailed
men check up the card of each rider
to prove he has passed such and such
a section of the route These route
cards are turned in weekly and cred
tied to the score of the competitor.
This years century contest was re-
markable in many of its features.
In the first place, the winner, Mar
eel Planes, covered 1872 centuries 49,,
200 mles), breaking Hale's record of
81 centuries, which has stood unsur-
passed for eleven years. Second,
Marcel Planes is but twenty-one years
of age Another thing, he rode with
out the financial assistance of any
bicycle firm And lastly-most phe-
nomenal of all-his bicycle is seven
years old, wheel produced in 1905
by the Mead Cycle Company of Chi
cago, U. S. A. (and Liverpool, Eng
land) The age of the wheel and name
of the manufacturer were unnoticed
until the competition neared its close,
when attention was drawn to the man
who seemed to be sure winner in a
field of nearly seven hundred con-
testants.
Congratulations are due Planes and
all praise to the Mead Cycle Company,
who turn out such perfect stock
machine that it can last seven years
and cover in its seventh distance of
more than $4,000 miles. No wonder
the Mead Cycle Company's wheels are
popular, not only in England and
America, but in every land where civil
ization has blazed a pathway. The

The akIItIesn Parade.

While the "Kilties" we're parading
the streets of Tulsa Saturday a mem.
ber of the band was almost run down
by passing automoh e and while at
tempting to get out of the way caught
his kilt on the machine and was reliev-
ed of that necessary part of his cos
tune in an instant. The kilt, which is
short tartan skirt striking the wearer
just above the knees. was fastened
around his waist by single strap
which gave way freely and prevented
the bandsman from being thrown.
Other members of the "Kilties
formed themselves in circle around
their companion, who was mainly ex-
posed to the public gaze for several
minutes, and provided him with
temporary skirt made of Scotch
shawl, which is also a part of their
highland costume being worn over the
left shoulder.
There was a rush of the curious
crowd to the scene of the accident with
the intention it is thought of seeing
for themselves just what Scotchman
does wear under his kits which would
settle the question once and for all.
Nothing was reported

THE PUBLIC FORUM
CAPTAIN WHITE & co.
(continued).

Editor of the Chieftain.
In your Saturdays issue, notice
that Captain White has allowed his
heavy spring work to go TO the bow
vows, while he has laboriousy copied
the article Of his Assistant Preacher
for your Forum | am truly pleased
to know that the Captain has secured
such an able recruit. 1t will be
pleasure to answer man that knows
what he is talking about.
OF course. the Captain does not say
when he signed the article in question
that this is a collaboration between
himself aud his Priest, yet paraphras-
ing Bible test observe The hand
is Esau's Captain Whites) but the
ideas are Jacobs Ellis preacher as
sistant) The Captain win no doubt
wonder why that this secret Of his
was so readily OWNED and | will tell
him. First: There are one or two
new abusive words added to this
screed, and this is more than the Cap
tain's 200 word vocabulary of mono
syllables possesses.
Second: Three new words of three
syllables each are introduced in con-
nection with whole paragraph that
is taken surreptitiously and without
any attempt to credit from 3 pcisr-
PlateBarrell sermon which IS d j
into every young preacher from the
time he enters the Unsatisfactory
until the time he graduates and is
given the Keys of the Kingdom,
seeking whom he may deyourr This
new departure starts out with the
postulate that the question at issue is
not one that can be argued, d,-one that
admits Of no argument; and inquire
at once if there is no use or arguing
IA question, why argue it? To CON
sign q man to perdition without allow
ing him chance is rather peculiar
To this Preacher Assistant, or two OF
them, tmaybe ! am now dealing with
a Trinity will say that this discus
sion was precipated by Captain White
making the assertion that the Holy
Bible was the foundation OF Truth.
Morality, Justice and Civilization. In
my feeble way have shown BY the
book itself that II is the foundation DC
Polygamy, Adultery, Murder and Cam
nibalism; and have in every instance
cited the scripture for my position It
is no defense for this distinguished
preacher to claim that have no right
to place my beliefs or my conclusions
before the readers of these articles be-

V|N|TA HIGH SCHOOL
At CHELSEA MEET

The Vinita high school was at Chel-
sea last Saturday and were in the
track meet. They didn't come out
first-they didn't come out last, but
they got more than their share of the
honors in the meet. They went down
without training, without organization
and without confidence. They returned
full of pride that they are a part of
the V. H. S. and realizing that Vinita
had the material for winning track
team not only of the northeastern
Oklahoma meet but for the state meet
as we'll Those who attended the meet
pronounced it to be one of the best
and cleanest high school meets they
had ever witnessed and the individual
work Of the vinita men the best in
the meet.
The main events of the races was
the relay race The mile and the 100
yard dash which was won in ten and
two-ffths seconds by Rodgers of
Pryor. Vinita again won the relay
and the relay cup occupies the place
of honor in the high school building
for at least another year, when il we
again refuse to be defeated it will
make its permanent residence here, as
when any school wins the relay for
three consecutive years the cup is Civ.
en- them to keep. The Miami high
school won first place in. the meet
they making "a points while Vinita
could only get thirty. Murphy and
King won the first and second place in
the mile race. They ran good race
but it could easily be seen that they
were in a class by themselves as the
other runners We're more than l0C
| yards behind at the finish. Beard was
next to the best man in the meet as he
succeeded in winning half of Vinita's
thirty points. Bailey, Beard, Me
Laughlin and Cameron were the relay
men and they too, were out in a
class by themselves as the race was
won by at least fifty yards.
The Vinita students will work harder
next year ana will have more interest
in the meet expecting to win this meet
but also to enter and win the state
meet at Norman. The oratorical con
test was won by Mr.. Judd of Chelsea
and the second prize in it was award
ed to Miss Rose Gin the representa-
tive from Vinita. Miss GilPs oratior
was splendid. Her delivery her Ian
guage and thought proved her to be
of very high talent along literary lines
and the Vinita people present were
proud to call her The representative
of the Vinita high school"
| Some of the Vinita students will be
gin at once to develop themselves fol

record for themselves both on the
athletic fields and in the school room
