ROUTING The TOURISTS.

The committee appointed to fix the route for the
Florida Short Route Highway between Columbus and
Albany has chose the Dawson road in preference to
route via Americas, after inspection trip. AS a re-
suit tourist automobile travel between the Central West
and Florida will be advised travel the Dawson road
instead of via Americas way.
Which choice by the committee exposes one of the
absurdites of highway route picking The men who
chose this should know that Andersonve prison
site and cemetery is of the greatest relics of the
Civil war and has most appealing interest-amount-
ing almost to sacredness-in the North and that no
Northern tourist who has any desire whatever to visit
the old war prison will be bound or influenced by anv

CLEAR THE DECKS.

Our war with Germany ended nearly year
ago and it is high time that we disposed of the
Peace Treaty and took up ou1 peace tasks.
The language of the treaty may not alto
gether suit but the document means an end of
this war, and perhaps of all wars, and the thing
to do is to sign it without any more qubbling and
give the plan it offers fair trial.
Perhaps Great Britain, with her six votes in the
League Assembly, will try to the League to
suit herself; perhaps Japan after promising to re-
turn Shantung to China. will break her word and
Try to keep it; perhaps the League Government
will ignore the Monroe Doctrine and undertake to
dictate affairs in Central and South America or
will endeavor to manage domestic affairs for
us, or will as some gentlemen seem to fear try
to force US, against will, into the sending of
large numbers of our soldiers abroad to preserve
US against external aggression, etc. Perhaps any
or all of these things may take place against our
will, and perhaps the whole world will go up in
smoke before the end of the year, but we are in
clined to think that at this time next year and the
following year, notwithstanding the League of Ma
tons, the United States will be jogging along just
about as it is now, managing it's affairs, keep
ing eye the Monroe Doctrine, and playing
its part in the affairs of the world in its good old
American way
IF, after we join the League we don't like
the arrangement, we can get out on short notice
and fight our battles alone just we would have
to do if we failed to join; and meanwhile, if the
other members of the League commit us to a course
of action which do not approve, it will be our
own fault because our representative will always
be there to block it with his veto power if we
want him to.
In any event there has been ample time for
consideration of the Treaty and it should be dis
posed of without further delay, and the decks
cleared for action on our many and great domestic
peace tasks.

A HUNK OF TRUTH.

The trouble with most people is that they do not

INTERESTING TULSA HISTORY

its gorgeousness.
The day has departed and nights
candles are shut out by the gather

Name.
1t is natural that some interest
should attach to the meaning and
origin of the Creek Indian word
Tulsa" It is not descriptive; that
is, it does not mean any animal or
stream, etc. 1t is simply the name OF
former Creek clan. Anciently,
clans or secret societies existed
among the Creek Indians out Of
which in the march OF progress, a
constitutional form of government
was framed, and these clans sent
their representatives to the councils
Of the Greeks. There was a time
when the oligarchic government was
very strongly established among the
Greeks, or Muskogees, because the
members Of clans were not allowed
to intermarry and representatives
were hereditary However, upon the
adoption OF the constitution in 1867
and the inauguration Of the House
of Kings and Warriors an elective
form Of government succeeded the
hereditary custom. The Greek Ma
ton was divided into ~ towns or
communities, each of which select
ed a member as town chief who sat
in the House of Kings, and two or
more members to sit in the House
of Warriors, Three Of these II towns
formerly bore the name Of Tulsa;
they were Tulsa Lochapoka, Tulsa
Canadian and Tulsa Little River
They have practically dropped the
name Of Tulsa and are known by
their last name. These names are de-

While memory holds dear the ear

tions, it does not care to hark back
to those scenes too often, for the
people in new country are too busy
with their own affairs to pay the
price of attention while authentic
history is being presented Little is
asked of the past-all is demanded
for the present. Apparent business
pressure and evident lack of suf,

BY DR.. Fred S. Clinton

The first authenticated settler in
the Territory embraced within the
present incorporated City of Tulsa
was a fullblood Creek Indian named
Arhcie Yahola, who came here from
Georgia in 1886, as the king or town
chief OF the Tulsa Lochapokas. His
splendid physique and superior mind
gave him powerful prestige in ad-
dition to the position to which he
was elevated by his people. He was
considered a guide, a philosopher
and friend among his followers. lie
died in 1850 and is buried in the
southern part of the city near the
old amphitheater erected by the
members of his clan for the practice
of their religious rites. His name
or fame is not emblazoned on the
pages Of history but his affection
ate memory is enshrined within the
hearts Of his tribesmen
In the pringtime, when the brac
ing breezcs swaycd the myriads Of
multi-hued flowers, it was his coy
eted privilege to stand upon one Of
the hills Of our city and view the
red torch Of day, in russell mantle
clad, gradually mount the heavens,
shooting his fiery shafts across the
virgin soil of a coming common
wealth, afterwards to be gemmed by
a cosmopolitan city called Tulsa.
As he watched the sun mount
higher and higher, kissing away the
dew drops from the fragrant flowers
and shedding his luminous and life
giving rays throughout this great
new empire, there was presented a
pleasing picture to this prince Of
pioneers.
AT eventide he turned his gaze to
westward to behold the hills clothed
in azure and purple as the golden
orb of day lazily sank to rest. AS the
glory OF the parting day left him TO
contemplate the beauty Of the ap-
preaching night, when the countless
candles lighting the sky burst upon
his vision he might have turned in
poetic fancy to AIilton's lines,
"* how glowed the armament
With living saphires; Hesperus that
led
The starry host, rode brightest, till
the moon,
Rising in clouded majesty at length
Apparent queen, unveiled her peer

And DER the dark her silver mantle

SHAW AND SMART
Odd Story of Names for Truth OF
Which Narrator is Willing

indianapolis News: 1t is neces-
sary to preface this little story with
the assertion that it was not created
by a punster, but that it actually
happened.
In the purchasing agents office
of one of the largest, if not the
largest, corporations in Marion
county, there was a clerk named
Shaw and stenographer named
Smart.
The wife of the purchasing agent
called over the telephone one day
and asked for her husband.
"He has just stepped out" re-
piled Miss Smart, who answered the
phone,
ooh, pshawl" exclaimed the pur-
chasing agents wife.
Misunderstanding the stenograph-
er replied "Why he's not here, eth
er."
"Oh, you're smart" commented
the purchasing agents wife.
"Yes, that's my name" replied the
stenographer

washed shores of the great Atlantic
to guide his people in their new
found home, this sweet sentiment
seems appropriate to an old
y = pioneer;
Columbus of the land;
Who guided freedoms proud career
Beyond the conquered strand;
And gave her pilgrim sons a home
No monarch's step profanes,
Free as the chainless winds that
roam
Upon its boundless plains"
His brother, Che-ya-ha, succeeded
him in 1850, Tulsa Fixico was the
next successor to the kingship, and
during the Civil War, while Captain
of Company of the Indian Home
Guards, was killed. He was the
father of Joe Tulsa, the great ally of
Chitto-Harjo, or Crazy Snake. O.
kel-essa Micco came next into pow er
and was followed by Waite Beaver,
the present chief.
Time wells all personality and the
merciless march OF the fast-fleeting
years soon engulfs pioneers. These
Indians have been mentioned that
they may not be forgotten in their
own land.
While Archie Yahola slept and
dreamed of the trophies of the chase
and of the happy hunting grounds,
the buffalo, coyote, deer and ante
lope moved across the trackless
prairies and over the eternal hills
to be practically lost forever. The
missionary and railroad, the great
harbingers Of civilization, made man
fest through their powerful agen-
cies, the destiny to which each was
attached by selection. Should the
din OF modern industry and the ac-
tivity of determined people to work
out their commercial salvation,
awake the slumbering spirit Of this
pioneer, he would find that distance
had been annihilatcd by the telc-
graph and telephone and that cold
storage and transportation facilities
had placed within reach Of every
Tulsan perishable products of all
seasons and climes at any time Of
the year If he sought a position at
any central downtown district, he
would see the great buildings fash
ioned out Of bricl, and stone, mortar
and concrete He would hear the
clang of the street car bells, the honk
honk Of the "goggle-cyed grunting
machine" and the patter Of the
pedestrians feet on the sidewalks as
they scurried to and fro, bctokcniug
the close of the day. Looking to tie
north he would see the Midland Val
ley train threading its way through
the prairie until it would stop on
account of the block signal. He
would observe the clouds of black
smoke from the great engine gradu-
ally rise and gracefully float out over
the city to Join the other elements Of
incomplete combustion, forming the
