A MATTER OF NERVE.
(Southern Vindicator.)

| Last week we received an invitation
to buy bale of cotton. Say, Willibald
the way things are going we'll be
lucky if we can buy spool of cotton
Gee! If we only had the nerve! What
we couldn't do! Had we been born
with the rind of some people we know
here's what you would find on these
pages from week to week:
"On account of the European war,
the subscription price of this paper has
been raised to $500 per year, cash in
advance.
ION account of the loss from import
duties, advertising rates will be in
creased to so cents per inch. Effective
at once.
I'VE are panied to announce that
owing to the almost complete suspen.
sion of the importation of chemicals,
obituary poems will cost you 10 cents
line hereafter.
ut being impossible to export prunes
to Przemysl, notices of church suppers
will be charged for at the rate of $500
each and two tickets to the supper.
Resulting from the suspension of
regular shipping facilities between this
town and the Gulf of Obigosh, pump
kins, apples, potatoes, corn, grapes,
etc., brought to this office under the
pretext of exhibitions to the editor,
will be seized as contrabrand of war.
"All persons found owing this paper
more than years subscription will be
shot as SPIES"
The above is about as sensible as
the position some business men are
taking ION account of the war in
Europe" While exports are increasing
in many lines, and more money coming
into this country, yet eastern bankers
are tighter than ever with money.
There is no occasion for it whatever.

REPRESENTATION.

Lose this day lettering, twill be the
same old story
Tomorrow, and the next more dill

Each indecision brings it's own delays,
And days are lost lamenting Ger lost

Are you in earnest? Seize this very
minute,
What you can do, or think you can,

Boldness has genius, power and magic
In 1t.
Only engage and then the mind grows
heated:
Begin 1t, and the work will be com
pleted.

NEWSPAPERS.

(Amos r. Wells in Harper's Weekly. }
They sent my forest to a paper mill
My forest, lifted solemnly and still
For skies to brood and morning sun
to kiss,
Now torn to pulp and fattened into
this
This endless mass of paper, smudged
with ink
And flung abroad to men that will not
think.
Instead Of sweet green leaves, this
dingy white
Instead Of bird-song and the pure
delight
OF sturdy trunk and loving shadowy
bough,
The berry glints, the asters-nothine
But crumpled pages whirled beneath
a train
Or sodden in gutter by the rain.
All, when thou monstrous Press, thou
mighty force,
When wilt thou bear thee worthy Of
thy source?
When In the glad remembrance of the
wood
Wilt thou be soundly sweet ant
staunchly good,
Fragrant and pure and masterfully
free
And calmly strong as thine own paren

TAYLOR'S LAND
BILL is PASSED
Special to the Journal.
Washington, D. c.,
Sept. A, 1914.

take the liberty of sending you
herewith what is known as the
Taylor second homestead and des-
ert land law, which was approved
by President Wilson today.
This bill will afford another OPP
portunity to acquire a home to
many thousands of worthy persons
who, through the misforIunes and
hardships incident TO frontier life,
have been deprived of any actual
benefit from any entry of the pub
lie land. There has been a persis-
tent demand for this kind of a gen
eral and permanent law for many
years, and | have been working on
it ever since | have been in con-
gress. | introduced the bill in the
cd congress, but was unable to
pass it. | introduced this bill
ca. r. 1850 on the first day of
this congress, April 7, 1913, and it
passed through the house early
last spring But it only recently
passed the senate and was finally
agreed upon by the conference
committee of both houses last week,
and the bill takes effect as law
by the presidents signature today.
| know by the hundreds of let
tiers | have received from Colorado
and all other western states that
there are large number of people
anxiously waiting for the enact
ment of this law in order to make
another public land entry, and |
am confident that many of your
readers will be glad to be advised
of its final passage and the terms
OF the act, as follows:
THAT any person otherwise duly
qualified to make entry or entries
of public lands under the home
stead or desert land laws who has
heretofore made or may hereafter
make entry under said laws and
who, through no fault of his own,
may have lost, forfeited or aban-
doned the same, or who may here
after lose, forfeit or abandon same,
shall be entitled to the benefits of
the homestead or desert land laws
as though such former entry or
entries had never been made; pro-
vlded that such applicant shall
show to the satisfaction of the sec
retary of the interior that the prior
entry OF entries were made in good
faith, were lost. forfeited or aban.

NEW FIRM LOCATES
IN THE OIL FIELDS
ORME AND WILLIAMS WILL
OPEN BIG MERCANTILE ESTA5-
LlSHMENT THERE.

Han Williams, who has been con-
nected with the Pennington Grocery
company for number Of years, has
severed his connection with that
firm and will embark in business
with j. w. Crime of Healdton in the
heart of the oil fields.
Mr.. Williams is one of the best
known Young business men of this
city and is thoroughly conyersant
with the grocery business. His part
ner, Mr.. Orme, has been in business
at Healdton for a number of years
and is well known and popular. The
new firm enters upon its business
career with every prospect of sue
cess, and the people living in the
vicinity of the fields are to be con
graduated upon securing such ster-
ling business men to locate there.

pany, will succeed Mr.. Williams in

BAP lists AF TER
THE YOUNG MEN
NEW ANNEX TO THE CHURCH
WILL EMsoDY ALL FEATURES
OF MODERN Y. M. C. A.

The members of the Broadway
Baptist church are determined to
furnish an attractive place for the
young men of the city, and with that
object in view, are planning to en-
body in the proposed annex to the
church all the features of a modern
Y. NJ. c. A. building.
The plans have not been fully de-
cided upon but subscriptions to the
building fund are coming in and
already several prominent members
of the church have set their names
down for substantial amounts
Judge Harreld and S. A. Apple
stated yesterday that the building
would be built at once and every
thing in readiness before the sum
mer months begin.
The Baraca class of the Broadway
Baptist church is the largest of any
in the city and the
increasing membership
makes it imperative that they have
more commodious quarters.

Washington Awaits Facts.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 23.-Upon
the developments of the next day or
two in the Benton execution will de-
pend whether the senate takes a hand
in this case Secerary Bryan today de-
clined to discuss or deny the report
that he had demanded the production
of Benton's body An examination of
the wounds might show whether he
was killed by firing squad or one
shot, and the kind of weapon.
Talk of armed Intervention is again
prevalent here, but it is known that
the president is much opposed to it.
The attitude taken by the president in
his Mobile speech against acquisition
of more territory is thought to pre-
clude favorable action on the sugges-
tion that the north Mexico revolution
lists propose to establish separate
republic in order to join the United
States.

SET OUT SLEEPER
At THIS CITY
RUMOR THAT THE SANTA FE
RAILROAD WILL PLACE A CAR
FOR CONVENIENCE OF PUBLIC.

1t is rumored that the Santa Fe
Railroad company will set out a
sleeper at Ardmore for the conven-
ience of the public who travel be-
tween this city and northern points,
Mr. Herndon, the local agent was
asked concerning the matter and
stated that he had received no Of
fetal notification of the fact.
This feature would be greatly ap-
preciated by the travelling public as
they could retire here early, the car
being picked up by the northbound
night train would land them in Ok
lahoma City early in the morning and
they could be ready for business af-
ter a good nights sleep
Just whether this is done or not
is problematical, but II certainly
would appeal to the travelling public,
who, under the prevailing conditions
must at least lose half the nights
sleep and take chances on getting
a berth at all

location is several blocks out, yet
there is a large yard and garuen

INDIANS SUBJECT
To INCOME TAX
ABOUT 400 MEMBERS OF OKLA.
HOMA TRIBES OF INDIANS
WILL HAVE TO PAY,

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 22.-The sew
eral hundred restricted Indians Of
the Five Civilized Tribes, whose in
diyidual incomes from oil royalties
exceed the amount under which eX-
emption from income tax is granted,
will have to pay income tax TO the
government the same as any business
man or unrestricted Indian.
This is the opinion of the depart
ment at Washington, which has held
that the restricted indians of one
half blood or more, whose incomes
from oil royalties mount into the
thousands every year, VIII have to
pay income tax on their net annual
revenues. Inquiry at the United
States Indian agency today confirm
ed the report of the Washington
opinion, ami at a conference to be
held here this week the collector of
internal revenue will make arrange
ments for the deduction of each IN
dams income from his royalty
checks.
Although some ten thousand ac-
counts of restricted Indians are car
ried at the Union agency, yet not
more than 1900 tribesmen are re-
ceiving royalty revenue from oil pro
duced on their land. OF the 1,j00I
probably between three and four
hundred have incomes in excess oil
the figures stipulated as rendering
a person liable for income tax as
sessment, which are $4,000 Off single
men and $4,000 for married men.
The opinion from Washington was
to the effect that incomes of re-
strlcted Indians, although they may
be wards of the government, areI
subject to taxation under the income
tax law, whether their lands are tax.
able or net, and whether or not their
money is taxable by the state.
The very exemption of the re-
class lands from taxation |
will cause the amount of income tax
collected from an Indian to be larger
than from his white brother of the
same income. There are fewer eX-
emptions to be claimed all the way
through by the restricted class In
dian and consequently less chance
For Lo to get by the watchful eye

Was Found at HuntsoiiIe.

Huntsville, Ark, Feb. 22.-Edwarl
Stuart under arrest here charged
with the abduction of Catherine
Winters, 1O-year- old daughter OF
DR.. w. A. Winters of Newcastle
Ind. Sunday admitted that the
child in his custody is katherine
Winters"
"But l did not steal her." Stuart
protests. Her name is Katherine
Winters it is true, but she is my
daughter and l wanted her.
Papa did not steal me and my
name amt Katherine; it's Lucy
the child insists.
The man who took me, rode in
an automobile. We rode and rode
until we met a red wagon and then
we got into that"
Here the girl cut her narrative
short.
Late Sunday Sheriff Shuster start
ed with the child on a 25-mile over
land "trip through the mountains for
Springdale, the nearest railroad sta
tion, where they expected to meet
DR. Winters. who started south
when advised of the detention of
Stuart and the child here Saturday
Stuart paced his cell all day Sun
day and while his mood frequently
changed from one of anger to plead
ing, he held to the assertion that the
girl was his child.
"She is my own flesh and blood
he told the sheriff. Il am not guilty
of a crime and you have no right TO
take her from me-
The man, who says he is 50 years
old, but looks older, declared that
before her marriage to the Indiana
physician the child's mother was his
wife; that they separated, divorce
was secured and when she died sew
eral years after she was married to
DR.. Winters, the child was placed
in an orphanage.
The fact that it is an "out of the
way" place was, in a measure, re-
sponsible for the arrest. Newcom-
ers in the mountains are always
subject for comment, and, coinci-
dentauy, pictures of the missing girl
appeared in the papers, which the
country folk spent Friday evening
and Saturday morning reading. Early
Saturday the town was agog, and
before long posse was organized,
armed in anticipation of an encoun-
ter and headed for the camping
place of the wagon.
John Barnes and Frank Morton
took a short cut and had Stuart un-
der arrest when the main body of
the posse arrived. He offered no re-
sistance and was taken to the town
Jail, where he made vigorous pro.
test that it was all a mistake until, |
according to the sheriff. the child
remarked that her name used to
be Katherine, but it's Lucy now
Then Stuart told the story, which
persistent questioning has not caus-
ed him to deviate from or add much
to.
