Tulso, Okla, Dec. 6.-From an edu-
Gator and executive of high repute
comes the following estimate of the
governor of Oklahoma, based on the
governors opposition to general edu-
cation:
Your reactionary governor is a hun
dred years behind the times and ut.
Iterly unfit to hold such an office.
Where has he been? How can he be
Ignorant of the fact that under mod
ern conditions the prosperity of every
land under the sun is directly proper.
toned to the attention it gives and
the Importance it attaches to the edu-
cation of all the children of all it's peo-
pie. America is losing ground now in
the struggle for supremacy with all
the most progressive nations of the
earth. Germany is wrestling from us
foreign trade that we should have, and
forging ahead of us in all respects be-
cause we are cursed with so many
Iignoramuses in high places like your
moss back governor, and because they
have found out what many of us in this
land have yet to learn. viz that edu-
cation is the key to all progress, and
that every dollar wisely expended on
our schools brings back ten to the ma
tion.
Oklahoma has made a splendid start
in education and should not spare one
of her state educational institutions
She has too few of them rather than
too many They should be her joy and
pride, and receive most liberal and
willing support Your governor wants
"a kind of normal school that does not
exist. The hundreds of normal schools
in Germany, France, England. Japan,
Canada, and indeed throughout the
world do much academic work, and
must do so to succeed and serve their
purpose. f. L. COOK,

Oklahoma Court Doesn't Recognize
Debt for Beer Shipments.

Oklahoma City, Dee. 6.--Dealers in
intoxicating liquors, who ship them
into the portion of Oklahoma that for
merly was Indian Territory, cannot
expect help from the courts of the
state in collecting debts claimed to be
due them for shipments of such goods
into that section. A ruling to this eff
feet was made in Division No. 2 of
the supreme court commission today
in an opinion by Judge Harrison in the
case of the Annheuser Busch Brewing
Company VS.. c. r. Doss ct al from
Grady county.
The brewing company brought suit
lat Chickasha against Doss and others
supposed to be acting for Aerie No
|131, Fraternal Order of Eagles, to re-
cover a bin of $15S.14 for beer alleged
TO have been purchased for the lodge
The organization contested the bill
claiming that Doss and the other de-
fendants were not authorized to rep
resent the lodge in the matter. A
verdict was rendered against the brew
ing company and upon appeal the
opinion was affirmed. The supreme
court commission did not pass upon
any of the issues in the controversy
except to rule that the brewing COM
pany was not entitled to the protec-
ton of the court because the court
will take judicial knowledge of the
fact that the introduction of intoxi-
cants in former Indian Territory is
violation of law"

Free "FreckIes."

Manager Ridgeway of the Sanders
Wright department store and Mr.. Dan
Myers our local manager of the opera
house have made arrangements,
whereby both embark on rather
unique idea in reserving seats for the
play, "Freckles," a dramatizaticn of
"Freckles," the great Stratton Potter
story-a strong story of the Timber
lost swamp which is to be the local
attraction at the Grand, December IS.
As an innovation both enterprising
managers saw the advantage in hand
ling a book play The plan is this;
With every dollar and a half seat re-
served at the store a copy of this stir
ring novel will be given free.
These seats are exchangeable for
the regular coupon tickets any time
after the opening of the regular seat
sale at the box office AS Christmas
is almost here there is no doubt that
a great number OF Vinita theatre
goers will avail themselves of this op-
portunity to get nice Christmas gift,
and at the same time see the play for
one price. The books will not be
given with the seats purchased at the
Grand theatre.

COUNCIL
AT FORT SPOKANE

Spokane, Wash, Dec "A general
council of Indians of the Pacific
Northwest has just been concluded at
Fort Spokane, Wash, where is located
the Colville reservation agency. Six
hundred indians, many of them rich
in lands and stock, gathered for final
settlement Of claims to reservation al
lotments Three hundred of these
came with petition asking that they
be adopted by the Colyille tribe so
that they might secure a division of
the land All who are adopted not
only receive some of the land, but
share in the moneys due the tribe
from the government under treaties.
A remarkable feature of the gather
ing was the fact that only one out Of
ten wore the Indian blanket or was
able to speak any of the tribal Ian
guages.

Spokane, Wash, Dec After two

residents Of this city have received a
decided shock in the announcement by
Edward S. Curtis, noted Indian au-

the argument wakes warmer as the
days pass Back east nearly all peo-
pie call it Spokane" with the "a
long, as in cane" When they come
west with this pronunciation they are
frowned down as tenderfeet, and are
educated to say Spokane" Now
comes the edict of the Indian expert
and photographers and etymologists
have had their two score years of
peace shattered. Meanwhile, old
timers are clinging tenaciously to the
short "a" lest they be designated as
tenderfeet by extremists. A board CT

ThreadgiII Suggested.

The use OF the dining room and
cloak room of the Threadgill hotel, at
Second street and Broadway, has been
offered the state for the senate or
the legislature when the regular ses
sion convenes on January 4. The prop
osition was made Thursday by Messrs.
j. M. Hines and ]. N. Burk, the new
owners of the hotel who recently pur-
chased it from Dr. Threadgill and it
will be accepted or rejected at a meet

select a place which will be held in
the Office of Secretary Moore of the
Chamber of Commerce some time Fri
day morning.
Th offer includes the use of the din
ing room, cloak room and toilet free
to the state. The only expense will
be for janitor service, heat, water and
light. The room it is believed. would
be inadequate to accommodate both
bodies of the legislature but it is be-

of them.

A WEEK TO LEARN.
Notable New Educational Features at
the Spokane Fair.


Successful fairs now pay far more
attention to securing new educational
features than was the custom few
years ago. While the amusements are
not neglected and there is always some
thing going on to entertain every pa
tron, education is really the star fea-
ture. and nowhere else can an inquir-
ing visitor learn so much about the
great Inland Empire and the general
progress OF art and agriculture.
The Spokane Fair this year proposes
not only to provide this free educa-
ton, but is going TO bring thirty farm
boys to the Fair TO enjoy week of
fun and learning combined at the Fairs
lege wiz look after the boys and will
also install a comprehensive exhibit
showing the work done at the college
The Idaho university and the Spokane
schools will also have complete exhib-
its, and liberal prizes have been offered
for rural school exhibits.
Two other very practical features
along this same line are model
creamery, which will operate daily, and
a milk test open to all cows. grade or
pure bred, all testing to be done in an
open booth and fully explained.
The Spokane Fair management want
to make the week of Sept. 80 notable
in every way and guarantee that every
h. ~. q
will, learn something about the line of
agricultural science which most inter-
ests them.
