WONDERFUL
PROGRESS

In spite of all the drawbacks, in
spite Of dishonest politicians, cor
porate greed. rascality in high places,
profiteers and other cut-worms and
tumble-bugs on the tail of prosperity.
this country has made wonderful
strides In its march of material prog
ress, In which 1t leads the world.
Within the lifetime of one man our
nation has transformed a wilderness
into a prosperous commonwealth OF
peace-loving people.
Gone are the buffalo which once
ranged the plains in countless thou
sands, and the great herds of elk. deer
and antelope are also of the past
The 1ndians who spread terror among
our early settlers of the west and
made business for such scouts as
Buffalo Bill and the soldiers they
guided across the trackless plains,
have long ago given up before over
whelming odds and become farmers

Oklahoma, once the Indian nation,
and where once the boundless prairie
spread out in an endless panorama
from nowhere to the same place, now
are endless fields of wheat and corn
and alfalfa.
Where only a few years ago. COM
paratively, the squalid savage
pitched his village of wigwams, now
stand great cities of substantial
structures, rearing their skyscrapers
of steel and turrets of church and
temple high toward the heavens.
Where was the trail of passing cara
vans, now railroads cross the land
scape, and the plains. once strenu-
GUS journey of months, has become
pleasure trip of a few days Where
the prairie schooner labored slowly
through the waste places. now motor
cars whisk through land of happy
homes.
The change is as complete as
though we lived in another age or
on another continent. The new gen.
Grafton has no regrets over the pass
ing of the old West, but those who
pioneered all over it, grew up in 1t
and were part of it, feel sort of sad
and as though they had been jostled
out of place, and miss many things
of the old times, now that they have
gone forever.

RESTAURANTEUR ATTACKED BY
FORMER EMPLOYEE

Last Monday evening at eleven
o'clock Duke Vansant, a negro, dur
ing an alteration with Lewis Gould in
Gould's restaurant on the boardwalk
at Wildwood avenue, struck Gould's
wife in the face.
Vansant worked for Gould for five
days last week as a waiter. He did
his work so poorly and as the other
employees objected to him, Mr.. Gould
payed him off Saturday and let him go.
He left, taking with him his belong
ings. On Monday he returned and
asked for his white walters coat. Mr..
Gould explained to him that all the
coats had been sent to the laundry,
but he could have his coat if he came
back later. Vansant used very abusive
language and started for the rear of
the store. Gould told him he had no
business in the private part of the
restaurant, and ordered him to leave.
Whereupon he took the coat off the
back of one of the walters who was
present. The waiter evidently con-
sidered discretion the better part of
valor, as he made no resistance. Van
SAINT again turned to Gould and made
several insulting remarks. He started
to hit Gould when Mrs. Gould stepped
in the way and received the blow in
the face. He then left the restaurant.
Mrs. Gould went to Squire Lloyd
Harris and swore out a warrant for
his arrest. He was apprehended and
held in bail for hearing September.
Vansant comes from Atlantic City
where he has been arrested several
times.
