'ITHE T. D. SMITH $3,500.00 Bankrupt Shoe Stock will be placed on sale Tomorrow morning at nine
J o'clock. We purchased this stock last Saturday through the United States Court in Bankruptcy at a
price that we will, without question, be able to give you bargains of a lifetime. This entire shoe stock
which is located in the balcony of our store will be sold regardless of former cost or value. Every pair of
shoes, boots, slippers, rubbers, etc., will be entirely closed out and the space now occupied by the shoe depart-,
ment will be remodeled and used to increase the size of our ladies ready-to-wear department. We advise you
to come early and make your selection while the stock is complete. This sale lasts two weeks and after that
time there will not be any shoes sold in our store.
We formerly had nothing to do with the shoe department as we leased the space to T. D. Smith, who
owned and run the department separate from the rest of departments which are, owned by me personally.
The highest grade shoes manufactured are represented in this stock: Roberts, Johnson & Rand; W. L.
Douglass; the Florsheim Shoe Co. and Sir Knight Custom Works, eta, all go at bankrupt prices for a quick
clearance. I have also purchased all outstanding shoe accounts and they must be paid to me.
Sale Starts Tuesday Morning at 9 O'clock

Vinita, Okla. Monday, January 23.
We are authoriiI to announce the
name of Jacob Smith for the omce of
c hief of police for the city of Vln'ta,
subject to the democratic primary.
republicans will not appeal to demo
crats and few will join with them. The
reforms needed have all been proposed
by the democrats and if they ever come
will come through the democratic
party,
O
The deliberate opinion of a man who
baa spent most of his time on the
streets of Vinita for the last twenty
years Is that the town Is better than
It was at the beginning. The streets
are a little crowded and it Is not near
ly so easy to get up and down the
side walks as It used to be. When the
hogs and cattle and other stock ran
at large and said up all night, there
were many privileges that have been
curtailed or taken entirely away. About
the only Inhabitants that have not suf
fered loss are the dogs which have
gradually been increased In number
and In variety and social standing until
& tax of a dollar a head would pay all
the expenses of government.
Like the bank guaranty law the
proposition to elect United States sen
ators will eventually be so popular
as to beedme a national law.

THE POINT OF VIEW.
Joplln Globe: When John O. Mil
burn, of New York, attorney for the
Standard Oil company, remarked, In
the course of his argument against the
dissolution of the company In the
United States supreme court, that the
decree would be ruinous to many sub
sidiary companies, "because they have
no Independent existence," Attorney
General Wlckersham scribbled a note
on his pad.
"I mean," added Mr. Milburn, haRtily
"from the point of view of value."
Inadvertently, he had admitted one
of the government's most Important
.contentions, so he hastened to .seek
refuge behind a "point of view."
j In another portion of his argument
he declared that the contracts between
, the railroads and the Standard Oil
company, made In the SO's were not In

Cut this out, sio;n and send to the Chieftain
restraint of trade, "If viewed in the
light of the days In which they were
made." Another "point of view."
Similarly points of view, shifting and
uncertain as the colors of a chameleon,
are sprinkled through the trust's argu
ment. Doubtless the court will con
sider them upon their merits.
Neither Mr. Milburn nor any of his
colleagues has yet called attention to
the most important "point of view,"
In connection with the case, namely,
that of the people of the United States
If a laxity of law permitted John D.
Rockefeller to legally proceed with
the organization of a trade-killing mon
opoly twenty-five years ago, he may
not be held liable for violation of laws
enacted since that time. The public
point of view has changed, however,
and he must abide by the statutes of
today even as be seeks shelter behind
the lack of statutes of yesterday.

The well known weekly publication,
"Vogue,1 speaks of the Wagonha's and
Kemper company's production of "Paid
in Full," as follows:
'"To Mr. Eugene Walter, practically
an unknown play writer, is the New
York public Indebted for the first gen
uine dramatic surprise of the season
which was literally thrust upon it at
the Astor Theatre, on Monday, Decem
ber 3. It Is refreshing to have some
