mal-treatment not only of the part
of the race, but the race as a whole
And most especially those dear boys
who In services of Uncle Sam were
being mistreated. Mr.. Chiles is also

raised for that cause. The editor is
welcome to Lawton, at any time. And
is TO be commended as the only Edi-

go into the many homes in this city,
who has graced our town with his
presence. Editor Chiles is OF the
