GABE pARKER-INDIAN PATRIOT

The Ardmoreite has the following
concerning Gabe Parker, candidate for
Pricipal Chief Of the choctaw Ma
tion:
Gabe e. Parker Of Armstrong Acad
emy is a candidate for appointment as
principal chief of the Choctaws. Par
ker is a young man and is a patriot in
the fullest sense of the word. lie was
an Indian lad of poor parentage and
HIS own people of the Choctaw tribe
took him at time when he could do
nothing for himself and educated him
in the best colleges of the country
When he returned home among the
fullbloods Of his tribe he looked about
him to determine upon some course to
pursue that would bring remuneration
to those who had sacrificed to give
him chance in life. He could not re-
pay In dollars and cents and he decid-
ed to make the payment in service TO
his people, the best avenue open to
him to be OF servise was in the pro-
fession of teaching. He refused po-
sitions that offered him better salary
and devoted his time and energy 20
the work of educating the youth OF the
Choctaws. Positions in financial insti-
tutions and in government depart
ments we're turned away and the
young man kept at his work. The
fullblood Choctaws could do but lit
tie in the white schools. lie under
stood their language poorly; he was
in the minority in the white schools
and because of his reticent nature he
was neglected In school work and feel.
ing the sting the Choctaw soon left
school and went out into the world
with little or no education OF value
Parker is an Indian, he understood tho
Indian child and the child understood
him and for years he has spent his
time with the fullblood children OF his
tribe. He stands well with both tn,
whites and the Indians; he has tn:
sentiment and poetry and loyalty O
the Indian and the education and re
finement of the white man. His is
beautiful blending of the virtues O
these two great people and the Choc
taws will have loyal chief If Parker
receives the appointment.

cHAUTAIUQUA CLOSED

The Bryan County Chautauqua clos
ed Sunday and was one of the best
that has ever been to this city or'coun-
ty before. Large crowds attended
every program and were well pleased
with what the chautauqua people had
in store for them.
Before leaving this city, Mr.. Speer,
manager of the chautauqua, secured
the names of about fifty people for
the contract next year, and he stated
that the prospects were very bright for
a chautauqua, and that they would
then provide longer program.

THE PRESIDENTAND
THE CORRESPONDENTS

When Woodrow Wilson was inau-
gurated, he had no press agent. did
not wish any, and was overcautious
about giving Information to newspa-
per reporters, but soon the president
learned that newspaper correspond
ents were adopts at keeping secrets,
and that it was perfectly safe for the
chief executive to speak openly to the
newspaper men whose duty it is to
advise the readers of the nation of
the happenings at Washington.
Twice week the president holds
conference with the newspaper men.
Usually there are fifty in the party
which the president receives. These
alert chaps quiz the president, not un-
like a cross-examination, minus the
grilling, but these meetings are cor
dial
The president speaks frankly to the
correspondents, tells them what are
secrets and what portion of the infor-
nation is released for publication. The
understanding between the president
and the reporters is a perfect one
The president has the friendship and
the confidence of the men who write
the news of the day. 1t is a fortunate
condition, and enables the people OF
the country to learn the real facts in
connection with the administration.

RURAL ROUTE

The old d. @. Harmed route for a
rural route running northwest Of the
city and back, taking in some q miles
of country and serving over hundred
people in forty families, is up again,
and IL is hoped that with few slight
changes being proposed by o. L. Shan
non, that the inspector for the postof-
flee department will approve the route
and 1t will be established. Postmas-
ter Early and an inspector went over
the proposed route Wednesday and the
inspector turned 1t down FOR THE
REASON THAT THE ROADS WE'RE
TOO ROUGH AND FOR THE LACK
OF ONE CERTAIN BRIDGE, but the
slight changes proposed by Mr.. Shan
non, will bring the route to a point
where there is a bridge, and which
should settle that objection, and lit
tie hard road work on the part of the
people who will profit by the routes
establishment, will probably land 1t.
The route as planned with changes
proposed is as follows: Leaving Du-
rant on first avenue five miles north to
r. Roberts place, thence two miles
west to a point a mile north Of the iron
stob, thence four miles north, thence
three miles west, thence three miles
south, thence two miles east, thence
one mile south, thence two miles south
east, thence one mile south, thence two
miles east, thence two miles sonth in
to Durant.
The general belief is that the main
objection to the establishment of this
and other routes, is the bad condition
of the roads along them, and the par
ties, especially who will be served by
O route, should be all means get busy
and fix up the roads, as their part Of
the effort to obtain the route, which
is well worth the work that would be
entailed.
The plan for the route has been
changed since the foregoing was writ
ten, and will be as follows according
to the latest draft: Proceed from Du-
rant five miles north on the first ave-
nue. road. Thence two miles west,
thence four miles north, thence two
miles west, then three miles south
thence two miles east, thence three
miles south, thence one mile east
thence three miles south and back to
Durant. There are number of re-
quirements before a route can be es-
tablished along this road, most oil
which call for working the very bad
roads along the line. Postmaster
Early advises that the roads are very
bad in places, and that no inspector
will recommend the establishment o.
a route till they are repaired.
A rural mail route is blessing t.
the people served and benefit TO tn,
entire county in which located. TIL,
more rural routes we have the bettel
off we all are. We can't get some
thing for nothing, neither can we se
cure rural free delivery of our mai

HOW PLAIN GIRLS
CAN WIN HUSBANDS
Doctor Lays Down Rules for At
tanning Beauty by Suggestion,
Happy Thought Keynote.

CHICAGO. June 11.-Dr. c. Frank
lin Leavitt has made public a lesson
in winning a husband by suggestion.
I'VE must visualize our desires be-
fore one can expect 10 realize them"
he said. "A girl should picture the
sort of woman she wishes to become
and then Impress this picture on her
subconscious mind so it is ever with
her.
- woman may turn herself into
bag by depressing thoughts. A wise
woman creates within herself condi-
lions which attract. The subcon-
scious mind is under direct control
OF the conscious mind and can be
impressed through repeated strong
suggestions.
when a girl who is not attracting
men comes to me / ask her to look
herself over for her weaknesses. II
her cheeks are hollaw l insist on her
exercising the muscles of the face.
THE girl should give a handshake
as II she had not a friend, and In
limp fashion. Thus she viii emanate
suggestions Of love and harmony and
not OF condemnation an apprehension.
"A woman has two weapons
thought ana aCtlOn. W men Sne Is
possessed OF a going mind she $
almost irresistible. a woman with
power wins the man she wants.
The first lesson to all unattractive
women should be to picture them
selves in a receptive attitude toward
men. From childhood they should
be taught TO meet the opposite sex
without fear and bashfulness
Thoughts properly directed can
change the physical being. From con-
centration "a a subject fifteen min
utes a day women have become beau
tiful They should suggest 20 them
selves at intervals that they are
beautiful.
Married women should take treat
ments to retain the affections OF
their husbands. Going back to the
old DAYS of honeymoon attraction
she is able TO keep her husband in
