THE OLDEST CITIZEN.
Honor Comes to ]. r. Best with
cIuster of Pioneers Yesterday.

A group of pioneer citizens gath
cred Yesterday about a refreshing
howl and following a few draughts
they became reminiscent. Many
events of the pioneer days were re-
told with much interest and the
conversation dritted to a point OF
inquiry concerning who was inc
oldest citizen of the town now llV-
ing here. Those present agreou
thai Bill Campbell was the first
settler. and he has passed away.
George Myers was next and he mas
been called by death. Frank frehs-
lev was third and he now resides IN
TEXAS. /. r. Best was next and ne
still resides here. A call was put
in for Mr.. Best to have him join
the cluster OF old timers, but ne
could not be located at the time.
Mr.. Best built the first brick
chimney IN the town and planted the
first tree. He was one Of the pio-
neer aldermen of the town and was
made custodian of the first bonds Of
the city which he is keeping as a
souvenir of the early days. He also
has an inventory OF the first set oil
tools owned by the city in doing work
on the streets. He prizes the old
relics very highly and wcu
part with them.

A DAMNABlE OUTRAGE.
Under Above Cl.ption the Tulso World
World Publishes the Following.

World Publishes the Following.
A young man who is attending col
lege in the east came home to spend
the holidays with his parents in Tul-
sa. They were among the best peo-
pie in this city. ell is bright and
ambitious boy, just budding into man
hood, with wholesome, manly
character. He is the type OF boy
that will make the big active men Of
the future. He has no bad habits.
He loves and adores his parents and
is a chum and pal with his father. He
is the kind of boy to be proud of.
Coming home for his holiday vacation
he thought it would be pleasant
surprise to bring his fathr r bottle
o. good whisky for Christmas toddy
and his mother bottle for the mince
pies. He never touches liquor himself.
His parents are mighty fine people,
His father is the sort of man to con-
tribute $3.50 to Kendall college. There
wasn't a bad thought in the boy )
mind. He was doing what he felt eV-
cry freeborn American citizen had a
right to do. At Vinita he got off the
train for supper. When he returned
TO his seat in the coach he found his
grip broken open and a fearless min
iCn of some branch of the federal gov
ernment standing over it. Asked II
he owned the grip, he said yes. With
out further ado this contemplate mis-
representative of the law yanked him
from the train and headed for the jail.
The boys proud parents were at the
train to welcome him, but no boy
came Along in the morning he got
in touch with them over the long dis
tance telephone and a much worried
father and a distracted mother, after
much worry and trouble, succeeded
il, getting him out on bail. Later on
he may have to face a federal court
and possible sentence to the peniten'
tiary This is typical of hundreds Of
Other similar outrages. And yet peO-
PIE seem surprised that these alleged
law enforcement gents are shot down
ty bootleggers. Is it any wonder that
there should be shooting and killing
vixen the men commissions with the
power and authority of the law have
no more sense of discrimination be-
tween the rights and liberty of pri-
vate citizens and the pernicious and
open violators of law as a business?
They, too, no doubt have their trou-
bles, but they know how to make
their own negotiations, even though
they have to fatten the purse of every
"gink" on TIE underground route.
Passengers on almost every train
coming into eastern Oklahoma are
subjected to this sort of inquisatorial
inspection. Frequently when they ar
rive at their destination, if it happens
to be in this part of the state, they
are pursued to their homes, held up
and searched. In the name of justice,
common sense and decency, how much
knger are these outrages to be per
mitted.
