For President, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, of New York. For Vice-President, CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS, of Indiana. What lias become of the Wag oner paper over whose destiny the fellow who stands under the cu phonons sobriquet of C. Seth Jones presided ? Octorbcr I has been designated as Indian Territory day at the World's fair. We presume that the interest of the ever-growing Indian Territory will be taken care of and every thing to our advant age will be made known to the civilized world. And of course, some of our folks will be there to take an active part in advertising greater Muskogee and the beauti ful Indian Territory. '1 he war between Japan and Russia goes merrily on with the Japs winning all the victories so far, but they are very costly, ones, and a few more victories will cer tainly leave the Japs without any men to do the fighting. We have always believed that the Russians in the end would 1. victorious and we sec no reason why .we should change our opinion. The Lincoln Club has called an other meeting, we presume, to do some more endotsi ,. 'I hose fel lows up there seem to have gone into this condition on the indors ing business. "You can .and you can't ; you will and you won't; you will be damned if you do,, and you'll be damned if vou don't." Court convenes here on October! 3. A very heavv docket, with Judge Kamond on the bench and District Attorney lMellelte repre senting the government. There will be some fast woik, and the docket no doubt will be gone through in the time 111:11 Iced. The lawyer and the defendant will have to tlo some side-stepping in order to keep up with the proceedings. The Katy railroad, in their ap plication for an injunction against the city, leaves us in a terrible pre dicament. They say we arc not a city. We are just a pretended. And, hence, last year we did not pay any tax, but just pretended, and the fellow who got drunk and was dragged ' up before the re corder and fined, was not drunk he only pretended. That attorney for the Katy is a great fellow and has left us in a new field. The Pioneer in its last issue, gave J. II. Davis and the gang of political cut-throats and misreprc sentatives of our race one of the greatest roastings that it has been our pleasure to read. The editor also went after the fellow who wrote the article for Da,vis that ap peared in one of the daily papers, and if there arc any mean things that Brooks left unsaid about those cusses we don't think it can be found in the dictionary. Davis and his man Friday did not know it or they would not have been so anxious to rush into print. RIGHTS ASKED FOR ONLY. Some of the fellows down in the Chickasaw nation and elsewhere i are making damn fools of them selves over the school question. They seem to be awfully afraid of mixed schools, and we arc told that some of the Indians arc howling for fear that they will have to at tend school with Negroes. The Negro N is not hankering after attending school with any of these cusses, white or red. All that he is asking is his pr6 rata of that $ 100,000, and by the Eternal Gods he will get it. The white man from the Twin Hells and the Indian who wants to play tool to these infernal scoundrels to the country notwith standing. The government of the United States has charge of this money and all citizens will be treated alike. We are making no kick about the proper ofiicers giv ing the whites and Indians their share, but the fact is, in my opin ion, we believe these prejudiced cusses want it all and that they got up the bugbear of jnixed schools in order to hide their real intentions. That class of white men and lhcy are the lowest stratum of white society pretend that they arc anxious to x attend school with the Indian. They do this for a purpose well known to me, and as soon as they succeed in skinning the Indian they will have no more use for the Indian than they have for any other of the dark races. DR. J .
