onizer and empire builder. Born IN
1852 near Plymouth. England. he was
educated at Oxford University and
served with military distinction in
France and later in Ireland. His mag
nificent attainments and chivalrous
deeds early attracted the attention Of
his proud sovereign and led to his OBJ
tanning extensive grants OF territory
in the New World that had been dis
covered by Columbus more than
half century before his birth.
More than three quarters OF a cen
tury had elapsed since this wonderful
discovery and no serious effort had
been made to profit by it. With
prophetic vision. Raleigh foresaw the
future possibilities Of this mighty land
and bent his mighty energies to that
resulted in our own civilization and
institutions. It was his efforts that
made possible the establishment of
English colonies on these shores in
stead Of those Of decadent Spain, and
that in the beginning inaugurated an
era of sturdy Development instead Of
the pOmpous inactivity that charac-
terized the Spanish colonies planted
elsewhere in America a little later
and but for this foundation upon
which TO build none Will dispute that
our history would have been different
and worse.
Raleigh spent over a million dol
lars, n enormous sum for his day,
ir efforts TO colOnize. and, being de-
sirous of first improving the very best
of all the broad domain that had been
bestowed upon him by his generous
/ sovereign. he ma turaiy selected Roa-
nOke Island as the scene of his first
| efforts. With their history we are
! familiar doomed as they We're to ap-
parent failure. but in reality a sue
| Cessful achievement. While Raleigh
| derived no financial benefit from his
| ma gnificent work here and established q
no permanent colony OF his own in
accordance With his riginal inten-
ton. yet his labors were not in vain
/ He blaZed the way and others fol-
! lowed III the path marked out by him
jamestown and Plymouth Rock were
! made possible by Fort Raleigh and
!; the genius of its progen1tOr shines
with unpalng lustrc in the history
of all that was subsequently accom-
plished by English pioneers on these
shores. 1t fjNed the control of the
Atlantic coast of what is now the
United States of America in England
with its liberal institutions and pro-
gressive government and policy, in
stead Of Spain or France. To il we
owe the difference in our own erea
! country and the countries Of Soutt
and Central America, or even Mexico
that were peopled by other than th'
AnglO-Sax race.
It is most appropriate that the por
trait Of this great pioneer should b.
prominently placed in the chief pub
lie building in the county in which j.
! located the scene of his splendid eff
!, forts to advance humanity. IN &C

MINISTER GETS
COMMISSION AS
BOOZE AGENT

Guthrie, Nov. 2l-rFederal enforce
ment officers now working in Okla
homa preventing the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors to Indians have found the
newest thing in the way Of introduc-
inf liquor into Indian country to be
a small bottle Just big enough to hold
two drinks Of whisky, and this sells
foi % cents. One officer recently
seized and confiscated a trunk that
contained 600 Of these small bottles.
OF $3.50 worth
The small bottles make it easy to
peddIe and sell the liquor With a
dozen in each coat pocket a whisky
peddler can dispose Of considerable
whisky in a short time to purchas-
er This brand is put up especially
fcg the old Indian territory trade by
Kentucky house and It is said their
sales have been enormous.
The story is told Of Methodist
preacher in a small Oklahoma town
who recently received a communica-
ton from a Kansas City whisky con.
cern asking him to send in the names
Of men who might want to order some
Of the liquor AS a joke the minister
sent in the names Of a dozen men,

received a draft for SO from the
whisky firm for his commission on six
sales and also a letter thanking him
