Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 14.-'The
announcement from Washington that
Judge r. c. Allen of Muskogee
had been appointed national attor-
ney for the Creek tribe, to succeed
NJ. l.. Mott, whose contract was not
approved, caused something of a stir
in local political circles.
In order to accept his new posi-
tion Judge Allen must resign at once
as district judge. His resignation
will be filled by appointment of the
governor, and there will probably
be a close contest for the place be-
cause of the advantage the appoint
ment will be in the primaries next
August.
Judge Allen lived in Wagner
county for number of years be
fore moving to Muskogee.

TO THE VOTERS Of
CARTER COUNTY

Having been citizen of what i
now Carter county for twenty-fv,
years and having acuuaEted mysel
with conditions, daily life and sur
roundngs Cf Carter countys people
by being one of them, | believe thai
| am peculiarly fitted for the posi-
ton of superintendent of county
schools.
believe the positions of superin
tenIent and teachers to be the most
important OF all positions, as school
work must precede ali others, where
desirable citizenship is found.
Most all agree that the most i'm
pOrtant prerequisites for this position
as well as all other creditabe posi-
tons, are: Unquestioneu honesty,
integrity and interest in public ed
ucation, and our past life is an in
delible record.
As to my worthiness for the posi-
tion sought, | most earnestly solicit
inquiry. If we would be a promoter
of general progress, and # we would
render unto society the service that
can be justly expected of us: Dy
correcting many evils of social and
political life, and prevent the birth
of many more, we must scale the
rights of our enrolling ambitions
through Educational channels.
No division of organized society
can rise higher than the individuals
of which the body is composed; We,
therefore, very naturally conclude,
that the initial efforts of the child's
educational life should be direcled
by a man who is able and willing
to imylant the spirit of inspiration,
which is characteristic Of American
manhood and the slogan of the age
1t has long been conceded (eXcept
in despotic governments where in
tellectua development has been
thwarted by the reign OF cruel
that men are not porn
directors of human destiny because
of some special decree of Proyi-
denCe but become prominent fac
tors in the creation of a common
wealth by the manifestation of in
dustry, interest in public affairs and
genuine character.

A leading stock raiser of Illinois
advises all young men to "get a
farm" In the course of his remarks
this farmer said:
II believe the best results in agri-
culture will eventually be worked out
on small farms. On large farms, we
must work ct arms length and cannot
do as we'll as we know how to- do for
we must work through other men;
and the men who work on large farms
are not men who are brainy, shrewd
and improving are not of this
type. I have had an idea lately-the
first have for four or five years-if
a man has an idea that is really worth
while, even once in four or five years,
he will be doing well.
The farmer is the one who ought
to be surest of all the necessities and
comforts of life, and safest from all
changes, panics, hard times and other
vicissitudes. In the farm home, chill
dren can be better bred, better fed and
better prepared for the struggle Of
life
1T seems to me that we, as farmers,
are not getting the most out of our
farm life. Combinations and trusts
are impossible, but it is better so; for
while those in combines and trusts
may be safe against those on the out
