night, with eleven members present:

discussion and Council recessed to
await further business from the Com
mittees of the Board of Aldermen.
Miss Gaines asked permission to
build front porch at ia North Al
fred Street, this porch to extend 3
feet over the building lines, which was
referred to the Committee on Streets.
Mr.. Leadbeater, of the committee on
streets, introduced resolution ap-
propriating $4,000 for laying cob
bic pavement on Fairfax Street from
the south side of Queen to the north
side of Princess. Mr.. Leadbcater eX-
planned that if this were passed at
once, it would enable the city engineer
to save a considerable sum of money
by taking the cobble stones as they
were removed from South Fairfax
Street and hauling them direct to this
work. The resolution was passed
without further comment or discus
sion.
A petition asking for sewer on
Patrick Street from Queen to Cam
eron was referred to the Committee
on Streets without comment.
A petition from George d. West
asking that SO be paid him for dam
age to his buggy and harness caused

cart, was received from the Board Of
Aldermen and was referred to the
Committee on Claims.
The Police Commissioners asked
permission to select men to act as
First, Second and Third Sergcants of
the police force. First Sergeant to
receive $1,000 per month, and the
Second and Third, $4,000 each; this
was referred to the Committee on
Police and Finance.
Mr.. Marshall said that he was S0r-
ry that the Street Committee had not
reported on his resolution in regard
to a curb on Franklin Street from
Washington Street west to the city
limit. He asked that this be done at
the next meeting.
AS Council was about to adjourn,
Mr.. Chaunccy asked that NJ. 3. Har-
low be granted permission to shinglc
frame house on Commerce Street
Mr.. Chauncey did not know the cX-
act location of this house. The res
oluton covering the matter was re-
ferred to the Committee on Streets
at the last meeting Of Council and had
not come back to Council. Mr.. Chaun-
cey's motion, however, was adopted
and Mr.. Harlow was granted per-
mission. Council then adjourned.

As TO Discipline.

The young teacher should learn and
the older teacher remember that for
every teacher that fails on account Of
lax discipline, there Is another who
falls ON account of overgovernment
Some teachers assume the same atti-
tud~ as the policeman who found two
men talking on the street corner and
ordered them to move on, as there
was an ordinance prohibiting crowds
gathering on the streets. One man re-
monstrated, saying that two did not
make q crowd. Zone makes a crowd,
il say So" answered the policeman
A teacher who assumes that whatever
he says Is law. and 1t is law because
he says it, is making a sad mistake.
When the pupils have a definite aim
to do and the teacher has definite
aim Ia what he does. there will be no
time nor occasion to maintain or
der" 1t will maintain itseif.-Mis-

Would you" inquiries the Green
wood Journal, give the deaf man a
verdict, IL you were ON the jury, who
Is suing for damages because he al
leges that he is paying for preaching
he can't hear?"
Personally we'd be inclined to rem
der a verdict after the fashion Of the
immortal Paddy Diver. AS the story
goes, a loyal henchman of the clan,
named Danny, was arrested for an en-
thuslastic and successful assault upon
An innocent third party. 1t was just
before election, and Danny sent for his
leader. The leader heard Danny's story
and went to see Paddy Diver.
Judge" he said. 81 wish you'd be
light on Danny He's good fellow,
and can help us lot in the election"
"Ail right" said Paddy, ''Tll give
him tdirty days."
''But that will keep him in jail over
the election!" the leader protested.
Il" said Paddy, 81 mean the
plaIntiR!"

ALL HIS GLORY OF THE PAST
Actor Who Has Once Lost Favor Of
the Tickle Public Seldom Able
to Regain 1t.

He was gaunt and drawn, a striking
contrast to the rather heavy face, the
confident air, and the swagger, which
had extended even to the buttons on
mis- coat but few years ago. At that
time ranting melodrama was a popu-
lar art, the star an deliberately built
piece Of mechanism, and this man the
stars chief support.
His fate was common one, dra-
matically emphasized by his outward
appearance. Like dilapidated sign
tapping In the wind, his threadbare
prop" frock coat told the tale of for
mer glory, while the resignation that
poured in flood light of despair from
his moist eyes attested that that glory
would never be renewed.
Like the old profile engine which
w&e wont to thrill the gallery with it's
Fictitious bombast, and which now rot
ted forgotten in the storeroom, this
poor human, whose art at it's best had
been but profile" one, was forgot

other to be swept out in the great

We hear a great deal of comment
on Indian ana intermarried c!.iZept
running for office and holding posi-
tions under the state government.
am not an Indian, therefore l speak
with an unbiased mind.
Some of the best citizens of our
county are Indians and those who
intermarried with the tribes, conse-
Quently we as citizens cannot afford
to bemean and criticize a people
who are not responsible for their
present condition.
When the United States govern
ment made this treaty with the In
dians, they guaranteed that they
should hold his land inviolate with
out taxation and the supreme court
of the United States only sustained
this treaty. This may be just or
unjust. That is not the question.
We, as citizens of Oklahoma, the
greatest state in the union, cannot
be against the interests of her cit
izenship by creating dissention and
III will among her citizens by dis
franchising the Indian from public
offices.
This will not stop with this alone,
but it will affect our schools, church
es and society in general. This
friendship and brotherly love is an
inherited right, endowed by our Gre
ator and given to society to be en-
joyed and perpetuated through the
coming generations.
Listen, voters. | say vote for the
man who you think will be capable
of best filling the public trust, re-
gardless of decisions of the supreme
court. am not writing this that
might discuss the rights of who
should pay taxes. but as a citizen
and voter of Oklahoma who wants
justice done above all things.
Another reason is that some can
didates are trying to ride into Of
flee on the demerits of Indian cit
izenship.
This is not justice and I'VE know
it.
