From some of the editorials in the Fort Gibson Post one would suppose that Editor Holden had quit his vegetable diet and was training for the land office fight on blood and gunpowder. With appraisement the un sightly shooks which mar the ap. pearance of the territory towns will rspldly disappear. Property will then be too valuable to be allowed to remain unimproved. There a:e three hundred miles of heavy steel track being laid in tbo Indian Territory to meet the increasing business, and yet it is but the beginning of the commor cial development of this section. South McAloster Iibb suddenly decided thut a firo department is needed in that city. Thepresonae of an organized department Thurs day would have paid for its equip stent many limes over; but yet, it is never too late to do the right thing. According to a bulletin recently issued by the state board of agri culture, the population of Kansas baa decreased, through emigration, ovet three thousand during the paet year. How many of these voluntary exiles are feasting at the Territory pieoounteris not stated. The section ot the Indian Terri tory which attempts to obtain an nexation with Oklahoma is seek ing political suicide. The only salvation of the Territory is to enter into single statehood as a unit. Enough influence oan then be brought to bear to command re yeot. With the closing of the rolls another chapter in Cherokee his tory is ;oompleled. It witnesses' one of the final acts in the dissolu tion ol the tribal government and gives promise of the speedy op proaou of allotment when every Cherokee will enter into possession of his own.

At no time in the commorcial history were drinking men so much at a discount as at present. Clear brainB are necessary to success in these strenuous days, and employers will not trust their affairs to men who cloud their intellects with drink. In the death of Representative C. Reese DeGraffenreid of Texas the Indian territory loses ono of its most ardent and capable cham pions on the floor of congress. Al ways ready to offer any assistance in securing tho passage of territory measures he has rendered tnoBt valuable services in the past to this eeotion and bis death has oc casioned nidespread sorrow. The vast difference in tho condi tions in the Cherokee Nation this year and last is refleoted in the general air of confidence. The drought of last year, while a bevere lesson, was yet a most valuable one. Some of the present pros ferity can be traced to the lesson In eoonomy taught by the drought, luuuu Uralluador will Uuy your second baud stores awl furniture. One who visits the department stores, jewelers and other marts of trado cannot but bo impressed with the fact that for every man customer there are present a score or thirty, or forty women. The wise advertiser is he who writes in Buoh manner as to arrest the at tention and appeal to the interest of the fair sex. Printers' Ink. The oommercial outlook for the Indian Territory is indeed bricht. and promise is given of an unpre cedented era of prosperity. A gratifying feature of the increasing commercial importance of this sec tion is found in its pulilioal effect, The time is fast approaohing when the great interests of the Territory can demand self government, and tho dominant party at Washing ton will fear to deny it. The closing of tho Cherokee rolls suggests the necessity of establish ing a land office in the very near luture&nd the ideal location which Vinita offer. Whilo some of the other towns are showing consider able spirit in their attempts to get the office, yet they have failed to show any good cause why it should not be located in Vinita, tho commercial, political and social capital of tho Cherokeo nation. sury during the remaining 'ear8 ol tribal existence. X That house in Muskogee which has been struck three times by lightning is like some people. It refused to "take a tumble" under any circumstances. The merchants of Vinita are busy arranging the immenao stocks of fall goods which are now com ing in. From the size and charac ter of the stocks, it looks as though the mail department stores will find this a poor field for business. In hia charge to the grand jury at MuBkogee yesterday, Judge O. W. Raymond laid particular stress on the presence of numerous vag rants in the Territory, After re ferring to the absolute absence of any excueo for a man being unem ployed in tho Territory, he urged that all such characters be indicted Their finisb,if brought before him, was Indicated in hie remark that an adequate punishment was con finement for from 30 to 90 days, with half of the sentence served on a diet of bread and water. The closing days of the Chero. kee gavernmont will offer especial temptations to those who have plundered tho nation In the nast to make a final raid on the trea- ury. A man should be selected for ohlef, whose character in un impeachable and one who owes no allegiance to or feara no clique, Too many safeguards cannot bo placed around tho national trea. The first thing needful in an ad vertisement is something to at tract the attention of tho reader. This may be by meanB of an ap. poeite illustration, or a neatly turned sentence, or something else that is not too commonplace, Tho next thing is to hold the attention by sayin-j. something that is inter esting. What can be more inter eating than a brief demonstration that be who reads will profit per sonally by a perusal? The third thing is to persuade, tho leader that the articles oflered are what he needs and what ho oan buy to bis advantage. Printers' Ink. Next time you are asked if ad vertislng pays, just adopt the Bo cratlc method of arguing and ask questions in return. Ask the skep tical Inquirer to name the railroad that burns anthracite coal. Bet him a cigar ho can name but one oanned soup that is Bold at six plates (or tin cents. Mako him namo a window shale roller and bet him a dollar or five, or ten, or twenly.five that he cannot name another. And if you want more test questions or proof, go to the pages of the magazine or the daily papers. It is ao difficult for any poraon who reads to be inno- rant of widely advertised commod ities ab it ia for him to remember thoBQ, that are not advertised. Printers Ink, FOR GOOD ROADS.
