NAUSEATING POLITls.
An unusual sight, for Vitstta, oc
curred on the streets here this morn
ing. The novelty of seeing a white
man going along the stre;s shaking
handp with all of ttie negroes he met
is rare in Vinita and Is only seen when
"cur congressman" C. E.? Creager
comes to town. This 13 the same Crea
ger who was not permitted to make a
speech In Vinita during the last con
gressional campaign, but who went
to Hayden, a town where nearly all of
the residents are negroes and made
a speech.
Mr. Creager came to town this morn
ing to mix with rspublicansi of the
city. The Chieftain has no j quarrel
with the negroes and doeVnot believe
la their oppression.bcrt to see a white
man playing the sycophant to them
for the sake of their Yotea as Creager
does, is a little more than our stom
achs will stand. If even the wbita re-
Visitors to our Fall showing of new merchandise are increasing in, number. Each cool breeze is
now reminding folks that purchases of merchandise for Fall and Winter must soon be made.
And, of course, the new things are the ones commanding.jmmediate attention. "What's going to
to be worn this Fall?" is the question now in the minds of nearly all the women folks, and it is a ques
tion that can best be answered by visiting this store visit us often forwe are getting in new fall goods
every day. All through the store now you will see convincing evidence that fall is here. By choosing
now, too, you will be afforded some advantages in exclusiveness not accorded to the late-in-the-season
customers. Some special bargain lots, too, for Monday's Visitors."

President Taft Is evidently willing
to have "peace at any price" between

The important question that must
soon be decided by the republicans is

The price of crude rubber has de

25 per cent by the rubber trust. How
does Senator Aldrich explain that?

An English rubber company has just

Things around the city offices begin

University Presidency
Offered to Roosevelt
St. Paul., Minn. Sent. 10. Wouldn't
it be a nice thing for the "predatory
interests' if Theodore Roosevelt had
accepted the offer of the presidency of
Minnesota University, formally made
to him by Frank B. Kellogg while the
former president was here to speak
at the Conservation Congress ana
state fair?
Of course the former president has
turned down the proposition. A salary
of $200,000 a year didn't appeal to
him for a minute. According to the
story told in the corridors of the St.
Paul hotel where President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt were guests Mr. Kel
logg ,the St. Paul lawyer, whom Roose
velt selected as his "trust buster,"
told the former president that If he
would accept the presidency of the
University of Minnesota It would at
once receive an endowment fund of
$30,000,000 which Is within a few mil
lions of the amount John D. Rocke
feller has bestowed upon the Univer
sity of Chicago. But the former pres
ident couldn't see it. He considers
that he has his work cut out for him.
And there Is the matter of the pres
idency of the United States at a sal
ary of $75,000 a year.
It is uridfstood that James J. Hill,
the "grand old man" of the northwest,
is the one who would supply the 30,
000,000, providing Mr. Roosevelt would
take the presidency. Mr. Hill has
great wisdom and he knows that no
man could bridle the Roosevelt tongue
so it is not apparent that he was
scheming ;o get Roosevelt out of the
fight on the "interests" in Offering to
give him the presidency of Minne
sota's great university.
Mr. Hill and the former president
are great friends. Of course It Is
natural that a man who is at the head
of a great railroad organisation would
not agree with some of the policies
of Colonel Roosevelt, but as man to
man they like each other. After shak

THE STORE OF THE TOWN
Will Have Exhibits From
Many States at Joplin
j jopnn, bio., oepi. lue uian
i Inter-State Exposition, to be held here
October 7 "to 18 will have the most
representative list of exhibits exclus
ively from Missouri, Kansas, Oklaho
ma and Arkansas ever gathered to
gether to demonstrate the wonderful
resources of the middle west.
Every mail Is bringing notice of ad
ditional exhibits. Farmers, manu
facturers, miners, stock raisers and
commercial clubs of the cities In the
exposition territory are preparing to
take advantage of the unusual oppor
tunity to exhibit prize products. The
fact that the Joplin commercial club
will provide free space for these ex
hibits, charging no entrance fee, and
providing for their proper care during
the exposition is making it possible
for many farmers to exhibit who might
otherwise find the expense too heavy.
The big premium list is In the hands
of the printer and Its completion will
doubtless greatly increase the num
ber of exhibitors.
ing hands with James Wilson, secre
tary of ajrteluture, the first man
Roosevelt recognized when he stepped
on the platform to speak at the con
servation congress was Mr. Hill. The
hands!' ake was hearty and both smiled
taeir pleasure at meeting again. It
was the first time the veteran railroad
builder has seen Roosevelt since the
lion hunter returned from the Jungles
of Africa and the courts of Europe.
Mr. Hill gave no trace of his feel
ings when the colonel told the audi
ence uiat the people must prevent the
railroads from grabbing all the term
inals along the river fronts when the
proposed river improvements are car
ried out and shipping on the great
streams of the United States Is again
resumed. But other utterances seem
ed to please Mr. Hill and he clapped
his hands as enthusiastically as any
of the Roosevelt followers.
"St. Paul could afford to give Roose
velt $100,000 a year, Minneapolis an
other $100,000, the state of Minnesota
a third hundred thousand and the uni
versity could add another such sum,
if the former chief executive would
take the presidency of the university,"
said a St Paul man, but even that
wouldn't tempt him.
Colonel Roosevelt always Is pretty
wide-awake, but when his private car
was switched into the station In Min
neapolis he was still asleep and the
reception committee and a great crowd
had to wait for him. The trip has
been one of the most strenuous the
colonel has" had and he had given or
ders the night before that he was not
to be disturbed until the last minute.
He dressed In a Jiffy when once he
opened his eyes and soon was In the
swirl of mad excitement found where
ever he goes.
Then again the great crowd at the
Auditorium was kept waiting, but was
highly entertained, before the colonel
appeared at the Conservation Conj-
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma has
authorized the sending of the famous
Oklahoma state exhibit, a representa
tive gathering of Oklahoma's most
valuable counties in tie ; exposition
territory will send individual exhibits
and Oklahoma farmers will bring their
stock, corn and other products to
compete for the many valuable prem
iums. ' c
Missouri will be represented by the
most' valuable exhibits at the state
fair to be held at Sedalia just before
the exposition here. The state univer
sity and school of agriculture' is pre
paring to be represented by a special
collection of prize-winning farm pro
ducts as well as by ail exhibit devot
ed to the latest developments In
scientific agriculture. Several Mis
souri county faire will send their most
remarkable collections of products to
the exposition and Missouri farmers
will not be behind their Oklahoma,
Kansas and Arkansas neighbors In
the competitive exhibits of farm pro
ducts. Governor Herbert S. Hadley
,has written a letter strongly endors
j lug the exposition and urging the farm
ers -of Missouri to exhibit there.
Carrying out promises made the
members of the exposition Flying
Squadron two weeks ago, the Com
mercial clubs of Missouri, Kansas, and
Oklahoma towns and farmers, manu
facturers and mine operators along
the route in the exposition territory
are busily engaged in preparing to
make their respective state buildings
equal to those of the other states. As
one of the finest agricultural states in
the Union, Kansas will be represented
by exhibits of farm products of all
varieties, live stock, alfalfa, etc., and
her mines and oil and gas fields will
send appropriate exhibits. .
In .short, the exposition will contain
the biggest, most valuable and most
representative collection of exhibits
showing the agricultural supremacy
of the four middle western states for
which it is being held, ever gathered
together In their history. As it is the
first of an annual series, no pains
will be spared to make it distinctive
in order that it may grow from year
to year and attract the attention of
the entire country to the resources of
these statps.
