successful must be a good story teller,
a moderate drinker and a good liar
Now he needs polish, department and

Some drank, it is true, like the China

did not drink for pleasure; they drank
for business, but, in the words of
Uncle Remus, The word do move"
Civilization has caused this class to
be tabooed in all good business circles,
and the man who dissipates soon finds
himself on the scrap heap of men. To

Massasoit orators go out and tell how
blistering dry Massasoit is, and prove
| it.
And hot after them go some more
orators from the same state who don't
see it that way They tell the popu-
lace that Massasoit is just one boot
leggers paradise: they demonstrate it
dozen ways
Then another dry" squad takes up
the trail and rebuts all the base can
ards they say the vets have been cir
culating. You'll never know how
much pathos can be wrung from a sea
soned dry" orator until he gets real
het up and begins to tell how the vets
have DETAINED, columniated and yilifed
the fair name of the sovereign state
of Massasoit.
But the people who live there don't
get very excited about it. Whether
there is much liquor bartered there
depends partly on whether you're a
wet or dry that's inquiring, and more
on whether it's a wet or dry you're
asking.
But when it comes to the attitude
of the officials who are charged With.
the enforcement of the law, it doesn't
take a Lincoln Steffens to epitomize
that. There probably isn't a law on
the statute books of any state that is
more persistently and perfunctorilv

There is psychological problem in
the liquor traffic in that dry state
There's good deal of money and eE-
fort spent to enforce the law, and, by
and large, it's pretty we'll enforced,

THIRTY YEARS OLD.

Thirty years ago this week the first
issue of the Weekly Chieftain was pub
lished. A long time, as time is measur-
ed in new country 1t was seven
years before any portion of Oklahoma
was opened to settlement when the
Chieftain began to appear in print.
The three decades the Chieftain has
covered marked wonderful transition
in the history of what was once the
wild and woolly west" Vinita was a
struggling Indian village of not over
500 population and this country was
an unsettled domain of stretches of
prairie and timber lands unfenced and
for the most part uninhabited, and the
finest stock country on the habitable
globe. The barbed wire fence was
just beginning to make its first ap-
pearance and to do its share in trans
forming a wilderness into settled
country. The first ten volumes of the
Weekly Chieftain contain many col
umns of cattle advertisements that
covered a range of country more than
100 miles in extent and is a sort of
index to the history of the period. The
vast herds of cattle that grazed the
unfeneed prairies have disappeared,
and have given place to the graded
highway, the bridged stream, the shady
lane, the cozy cottage, the bustling viii
lage and the throbbing, restless city.
A vast domain at that time inhabited
by the remnants of once powerful
tribes of western Indians, is now the
home of nearly two million thrifty
American citizens with all of enthu-
siasm and state and local pride that
comes to the older states. The files
of this newspaper present wonder
full panorama of the transformation of
the Indian territory into the great
state of Oklahoma and records the
march of Anglo Saxon civilization in

man has come the decadence of the
Indian race that owned and occupied
this splendid domain. Little does the
world stop to think or mourn the
tragedy of a race of men who inhabit-
ed this country long before the pyra-
mids were built or Abram journeyed
to Canaan But Oklahoma is no
longer an Indian country, the council
fires of the redman along the mountain
sides and by the streams have gone
out forever. The howl of the coyote has
been drowned by the roar of trains,
and the outlaw whose rendezvous was

long since disappeared. and anarchy
and outlawry have given place to set
tied conditions. All this in the 80 years
existence of the Chieftain which has
had some humble part in bringing
about the salutary changes that Great
