Home at Cornish is in Good Financia
Shape.
NJ f. Harris of the Cornish Or
phans home was here yesterday
from Cornish en- route TO Bokchito
where he went on business connected
with the home.
He has 3S children in the home
now and has been making efforts
to reduce the number since Governor
Williams declined to have an appro.
priation made for the partial support
of the home, but children continue
to come faster than he can find suit
able homes for them.
The condition of the children is
very good, all are healthy, hearty
children and enjoy their school work
and their sports.
Chickasha has recently been very
kind to the movement and is rival
ing Ardmore in the amount of money
given for the support of the home.
Ardmore has always been the most
generous contributor to the home, but
Chickasha promises now that it will
be as generous as Ardmore has ever
been.
The home is in better financial con-
dition than it has been for some
months.

PROTECTION GIVEN
YOUR MAIL BOX
to Having Letter Box on Porch
Stuffed Full Of Posters.

The old custom of sending small
boys through the city with hand bills
with the order to place one in each
mail box at every house or fiat, has
been made a serious offense by the
government and in the future anyone
following these orders will be subject
to arrest and Imprisonment. A new
ruling by the first assistant postmas-
ter general puts auietus to this
method of advertising and will no
doubt increase the sale of stamps,
which will be necessary II merchants
or others desire circulars sent as mail
matter.
The new law is an amendment to
Section 676 Of the postal laws and
reads as follows: Amy letter box or
other receptacle intended for use for
the receipt or delivery of mail mat
ter on any city delivery route. rural
delivery route or star route, or other
mail route. is hereby designated let
ter box for the receipt Of delivery OF
mail matter within the meaning of the
act Of March 4, 1909 Section 19s
This gives private mail boxes the
same protection accorded the street
boxes and the penalty provided for
placing spurious matter in private
mail receptacles Is the same as is des.
ignated for street letter boxes.

DELIVERS SPEECH

ment he might move softly, gently.
whisperingly through first term IN
the hope OF no antagonism for sec
ond. During second term he might
become courageous when there was
no enemy In view and nobody could
get at him and might really accom-
plish something. But the first term
would be lost. Whatever type OF man
he might be four year term and IN
eligibility to q seconG consecutive
term would enable him at once and
continually for four years to concen-
trate all OF his energies upon his
duties as public servant, studying
the business of the state, the needs
o. the state in all her diversified in
terests with nothing to modest or
make him afraid
Another potent reason for four
year term lies IN the fact that two
years only enables one to become
thoroughly acquainted with the bust
ness of the state and reach his best
efficiency and especially so II he is
compelled to give himself to two cam
paigns in the meantime. Strong, eff
cient service could be better render
ed IN my Judgment by a four year
term. I invite you to consider this
matter and the necessary change In
the constitution.
81 have long been OF the opinion
that legislative bodies in this country
are too large for the best, most care
full and most satisfactory work. This
opinion has ripened into conviction.
II our house Of representatives were
reduced from 1os to so and our senate
to twenty-five believe any observ-
ing, thoughtful man, especially II he
had had actual experience in hgisla-
ton, would agree with this view.
LEGISLATION could and would receive
much more careful and critical study.
1t would be much more thorough, con-
else. clear. mature. It would be far
less voluminous. Our legislature
| would become in fact a deliberative
body. There would be better quality
| OF debate. There would be better be-
| havior Of members. Numbers obstruct
delfberation. A large number involves
confusion and prevents concentration
Of thought and effort. The principle
| is not recognized anywhere else
among men than IN law-making as
semb1ies. It would not be recognized
anywhere else where really great
/ things are to be done in a really great
and efficient way. ] am convinced
that fifty men In the house could and
would produce better results than one
hundred and eight and that twenty
I FIVE men IN the senate would be more
efficient than the fifty whether in the

Awaited with Interest

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
president has yielded to the pleadings
Of those democratic leaders who, ever
since the late election brought to
him and to them such rude awaken
ing, have been telling him that he
must mix more with the masses. Be
fore the election the people were I'M
derstood to trust Mr.. Wilson by faith
alone. Since their faith was not jus
tilted by their works. from the demo
cratic point OF view, the point OF
view changes and what is now seen
is that faith which can not be work
ed Is dead.
Mr.. Wilson will go to indianapolis
and speak there at the banquet to be
given on the night of st. Johnson's
day. indianapolis Is q center OF Jack
sonian doctrine. The Tom" Taggart
who said. after the election in 1888,
that the democratic party was found
ed by Jackson and foundered by
Cleveland, lives there. There. too,
lives the ilIustrious democrat who
would succeed Mr.. Wilson in Office II
he should ever vacate it until pushed
out, which we trust he will not. as we
are anxious to help in the pushing.
There. too. lives Senator Kern. and
doubtless at the festal board will be
seen that other great Jacksonian OF
Indiana. BENJAMIN F. Shfvely.
The country will await with inter
est what Mr.. Wilson will have to say
about Jackson. Perhaps he will say
nothing at all about him, but, as in
some of his addresses to congress,
when expected to talk Of the question
before the meeting. he Will talk OF
something else.

vitation.

To have a full FLOODED Indian FOL
a visitor at school. sends thrill
through the heart Of the average boy
which is not very often produced al
such a common everyday place as
school. The boys and girls in the
Lincoln school yesterday afternoon
had a full bloodeT Chippewa at their
school. Richard Chelsey by name. A
tall, straight copper colored indian,
nineteen years Of age The only dis
appointing thing was that he wore
citizens clothes instead of blanket
and moccasins. The children have
Miss Helwig to thank for this unusual
visitor.
One day last summer among the
MANY who came to see the dam was
Richard Chelsey OF White Earth,
MINI. town in the Chippewa reser-
walton. He was on his way home
from Haskell Institute at Lawrence,
Kansas, higher school for Indians.
While down at the power plant he
met some boys who were hshfng-
BOYS know Indians when they see
them and so these boys found out all
there was to be known about that In
dian. Among other information gain
ed was that he changed cars here to
and from lawrence, Kan. to White
Earth and that he'd be hera some
time in January and would let them
know Just when that would be.
n It was natural they should tell this
unusual experience among their best
friends. Miss Helwig being In that
class she was told. She suggested
having him come to school, and yes
terday he came. He had the reticense
in talking characteristic Of his race,
SO the children each wrote on piece
OF paper some question or something
they'd like to have him tell and he
answered them all. Some OF the
things they found out was that the
peopl. of his tribe In Minnesota live
I'm houses, except during the summer
when they go OF to fish and hunt
they live In tepees. His mother
speaks no English, talking only In
the Indian language Of the Chippewa
tribe. HIS father speaks some Eng
lish. They have government schools
in the Minnesota reservation. but only
4he lower grades. So to take ad-
i~anced work they 90 to Carlisle, OF

In Haskell Institute, they spend one
