WHEN CHOCTAWS
CAME TO DURANT
INTERESTING HISTORY BY JUDGE
JULIUS FOLSOM, LAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAws ?.

How came the Choctaws to this part
of the plains? The question is am
swered by Judge julius Folsom of
Atoka in an hitherto unpublished his
tory. Judge Folsom is Sc years old
and the only living representative of
the Mississippi Choctaws. His sister,
Mrs. G. A. Bates, is a resident. of Dus
rant and the Judge has countless
friends. throughout Southeastern Ok
lahoma. The article was prepared by
Judge Folsom in compliance with
request for a history of the Indians
to be placed in the cornerstone OF the
Lutheran Church at Oklahoma City.
In a hundred years the stone will be
opened and the contents displayed to
the people Of that century
1t is remarkable bit of history
with note of sadness in the passing
Of the race. 1t is worthy of space in
the treasure vaults that will Withstand
the Eavages sef time and is given here
with to sink into the hearts, of the
people who appreciate the facts and
cherish the. memory Of the Indians
who were the pioneers Of Southeastern
Oklahoma.

been the imaginary minds of the
white people.
II find in the Scriptures: Thus the
Lord spake unto Moses in the Wilder

every tribe from twenty years old and
upward. all that are able to go forth
tn war: thou and Aaron shall number
them by their armies" After the ex-
ecution of this order many wars oc
curred, and in one war, part of the
tribe OF Dan was captured by Shall
maneser. King of Syria, and placed
in an harbor. Said tribe was master
Of ships. and they disappeared from
the harbor. The ancient custom OF
aged Indians was to convey facts from
father to son, tradition that their
forefathers came from a country De-

Just as he rounded the last mu a flame shot from the tonneau and converted the machine into a veritable comet with a long train of lire extending to the wake.

THE LIFE STORY OF THE CASINO FAMILY
"MADE IN CHICAGO" TRAGEDY

does this, so long as the United
Charities monopo1izes charity,
the United Charities must stand
ready to accept such criticism as
may result from the publication
of the facts in any case they have
touched on and failed in.
But to return to the Casinos.
The tragedy oftheir existence did
not begin with the death of the
husband and father. 1t began
with his. birth, and with the birth
Of his wife, and every last little
bit of the, tragedy was. made in
Chicago
Mrs. Casino was born at 243
Twenty-ffth street. She has lived
in that neighborhood all her thir-
ty-seven years. Fred Casino
was born on the West Side. Both
are the children of German i'm
migrants. They were married
eleven years ago.
The first child was born in
1902. Itwas a girl. They named
her Clara. Clara is a sickly girl
today Her blood is bad; the
slightest scratch becomes with
her a painful sore. Once her
right hand panied her. Her father
took her to the clinic of the
Northwestern University. = She
came back from there with long
slit between her thumb and fore
finger. Mrs. Casino does not
know why the operation was ne
cessary, nor What caused the pain
in her girls hand. She never was
told. But, anyway, the medics
had their fun cutting up the

By Don MacG regor.
The. tragedy. of the Casinos is
likely to become the tragedy of a
family starved out of existence in
the midst of plenty.
For God alone knows what is
going to become Of Mrs. Casino.
Perhaps, as the reports of the
United Charities intimate would
be a good thing, she will be sent
to wear out her life behind the
gray walls of some asylum for the
insane.
And if her sick1y, half-starved
children grow to manhood and
womanhood, it will be only be-
cause society radically changes
its treatment of them.
Yesterdays Day Book told
how Mrs. Casinos husband died,
leaving her with three children to
look after; how she appealed to.
the county for relief; how she was
given only such food as made her
children still more sickly than
they naturally were; how she
asked the United Charities to get
her a job, and how the United
Charities instead investigated
and forgot-her.
The United Charities resent
the publication of such stories.
Their officers say it hurts them
with the people who give them
money, and in their labors.
The United Charities has no
right to say anything like this.
The United Charities make al
most every other charitable or
ganization in the city report cases

FRANK REPORT IS
TO Be EXPECTED
Value to Vermont Of Educational
Review by Carnegie Founda-
ton Experts.

Montpelier. April 20.-The Hon. John
d. Watson, chairman Of the commission

conditions Of Vermont, makes public the
following statement regarding the cduca
1ional survey Of Vermont:
The statewide interest in the work un

the educational system and conditions Of
Vermont les au indication of the conu
Inc interest which the people of Vermont
lave i'm their institutions. The schools of
the State and the school system mean
more to The whole people of The state than
any other institutions which the state
controls or supports. The school touches
every village. every family. every individu-
n, however remote his life may be from
the crowd or from the city.
Some explanation may. therefore. be of
interest as to what an educational sur
vey undertakes to do, rs to how il Is
made, and what agencies the commission
has chosen in order to prepare for it an
exhibit Of the educational machinery.
The idea Of having an educational study
Of the schools Of a given state or county
prepared by some outside agency familiar
with education Is y comparatively recent
. Thing. Perhaps the most admirable ex
ample OF such efforts are tho studies made
