EDITOR LOST HIS RELIGION.

The fire-eating. lighting and erudite
editor of the Tulsa Star was passer
through Muskogee during last week
on his way to be n member of the q.
S. Grand Jury sitting at McAlester,
Okla. While here Editor Smitherman
called at the local postoffice to see
our Indian postmaster on business.
Smitherman was asked to take off his
hat on entering the office, this being
p. NJ Brewers rule for Negroes but
not for whites. To this Editor Smith
erman very properly demurred, and
lost enough of his good. old time re-
ligion" to cuss blue streak that
short -circuited the electric fixtures. II
appears the Postmaster is unmidful
or lorgetful of American history for
II is the white American who is due
to go bare-headed all his days. 1t was
he who on the one hand that stole the
HOME from the Indian, and on the
other. stole the Negro from his home.

Muskogee News
Letter

We are proud to say that when the
sun Is not shining II is raining in these
here parts
Prof. Day. formerly of the Mnual
Training High School, now Principal
of the Colored High School at Sapul-
pa. okla. and also one of the heads
Of the Normal at Okmulgee, was a Wis
tor In Muskogee last Saturday and
took in the A. NJ. Il. outing at Hyde
Park The professor reports an at
tendance of over $50 at the Okmulgee
Normal. which is about twice or three
times the number attending other nor.
mails elsewhere.
The well known Attorney william
Henry Harrison of Oklahoma City.
was visiting In town last week and
was a speaker of interest In the ser
vices at the First Baptist Church last
Sabbath. Mr. Harrison Is promin-
ont official in X. of T.. circles and is
out on tour fixing up his fences.
Rumor has 1t that District Grand
Master ed jefferson of the Odd Eel
lows Of Oklahoma has shied his hat in
the ring and Is candidate for Grand
Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias
OF Oklahoma. When Ed secures that
patriarch of the United Brethren OF
Friendship. G.. NJ Delaney, is ap-
pointed sergeant at arms at the ma
tional republican convention and Ed
will try to beat Whitman of N. v for
the presidential nomination.
Prof John Tyler Smith. principal
of the Douglas School, who is also an
agriculturist, has an extensive potato
farm out near the Spaulding bridge
and had a fine crop The professor
was looking for the potato buyer who
was said to be offering s115 per
bushed. Also, there were others look
ing for him.
The decision Of the u. S. Supreme
Court setting aside the Oklahoma
Grandaddy Clause as unconstitutional
was received by our citizens with no
great hullabaloo, but at the same time
was generally and favorably com
mented on. Funny thing. Some of
the leading white democratic leaders
seem TO think that no further legisla-
tion of the kind is now necessary as
the Negroes under the last law learn
ed political sense and will now vote
the democratic ticket regularly. So
they will-NOT.

SIMS RESIGNATION NOT
 4 THING ID WORRY ABOUT

i can state positively that Robert E Sims is not going to resign from his post as superintendent of the Florence prison, and all statements that i am al present holding his resignation can be denounced as faIsehoods"
 In the above words did Governor Hunt yesterday deny rumors which had been prevalent here for the past day or so that Warden Sims might tender hls resignation if his refusal to hang condemned murderers failed to prevent an execution.
 T. was understood that MT. Sims might adopt this method to cause an other delay in the proposed hanging, should matters reach such point where this action was necessary.
 But Governor Hunt stated that he did not hold a resignation from Sims. and that he probably would not ac- eept oEe should it be rendered him, be- cause he thought that Mir Sims had ueeu doing exactly right of late. and saw Eu reason why a successor should be named for the present insumbent
