Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee, I. T., Resolved that we unqualified ly condemn the present constitution, and urge Negro citizens throughout Oklahoma and Ind. Territory to oppose the same and to use every honest endeav to secure and bring about its defeat. Resolved further, that we or ganize solidly from township to state and prepare ourselves to Vol 8 Resolutions Adodted By The Negro Protective League. Whereas the Negro Protective League, now in conference assembled for the purpose of defending their manhood rights under the constitution of the United States, and that of the prospective state of Oklahoma, and: Whereas, the constitutional convention of said prospective state, now in session at Guthrie, O. T., has been throughout its deliberation, wholly against the public rights of said Negroes, having shown in its deliberations a narrow and unprecedented determination to so hamper the rights of the whole people as to excite the timidity of capital and to discourage the investments thereof; to prostrate agricultural and commercial business, and: whereas the Negro people of said prospective state are legally in actual ownership of more than three million acres of land, they are determined in all honorable ways, legal and other wise, to protect their Constitutional rights without wavering, to the end that the constitution and laws governing the new state shall be turned down at the ballot box. Whereas, it does not provide a government, republican in form and is in conflict with the Enabling Act, and is contrary to the spirit of Ameaican institutions and the fundamehtal government of the United States, therefore be it go into the coming campaign as American citizens, and that the President and the Executive committee are herby authorized to draft necessary rules and laws. Mr. Phillip Lewis of Inola, Indian Territory, one of the most able and prominent Creek citizens was in our sanctum the other day and he stated that in his community, and in fact, his whole people were a unit against the Haskell constitution and that they will not vote for a single officer who runs under the disfranchising pretense for a constitution. If there ever was a time when the Negroes should get together, it is now. We have one common cause that means everything to us and we can afford to drop our little local differences and join hands in this great battle which is now on. We have been reliably informed that Mr. Tony E. Proctor, a Creek Indian who has held many positions of honor and trust under the Creek government and who is now Postmaster at Trenton, Indian Territory, is unalterably opposed to the Haskell constitution and will vote against it as will all of his people. Mr. Proctor has been Town King of one Wewo kofkee town and a member of the Wagoner Towship Committee. He is a power among his people, which means a hundred votes against the infernal thing called a constitution. The Negoes of Muskogee know nothing about Doug's circular letters nor do they care anything about them. They do know that he published the resolutions that report says is the major part of the much cussed letter. We would not give three whoops in h-1 for the renegade Republican who says I,m for the constitution as it is and will amend it afterwards. We know that the cuss is in favor of disfranchising our people and restoring the ballot afterwards, which is as impossible as suing the Devil, trying the case in hell and hoping for a verdict against the Devil. Such pretended Republicans are fit subjects for the place that has a surplus of brimstone. Lew Betts, the Democratic labor man, wishes to make Negro the issue in this campaign and swears by the eternal gods that he will run for office on that issue. Lew is for Haskell and the Negroes will bury him so deep that neither the blasts from Gabriel's horn nor the quiet still call of his boss' voice will be sufficient to awaken him. Doug is having bad dreams and chronic indigestion over the imaginary Black Hand. We don't wonder at Doug's seeing ghosts when we remember the resolutions for which he stands pater, which appear in this issue and which appeared last fall and many times since.

If the discovery of independent evolutions of human music all tending in the same direction indicates the existence of an ideal standard toward which progress leads, how much stronger is the evidence afforded by the fact that bird music is developing along the same lines? It seems a far cry from a Beethoven symphony or a Wagnerian opera to the simple lay of a sparrow, but as we trace the course of the mighty river of music back toward its source, the stream becomes narrower and narrower, until it is contracted to a point where it is no broader than the little rill of bird music, says Henry Oldys in Harper's Magazine. Nor does the decrease stop there; for, remarkable as it may seem, there was a time when the music from which ours has been evolved was inferior to some of that which floats to our ears from the woods of spring. This is not to say merely that the songs of certain of the birds involve more intervals and greater variety, but that they are of a higher order judged by our own modern standards. The Automobile and Better Roads. The Automobile and Better Roads. Automobiling has given the good roads movement a great impetus. It has brought into it men from the cities who were never far from a paved street until they began to travel around in their autos. They are now the backbone of the movement. The farmers have learned a lot on the subject and they are joining hands with the men who once had their most cordial enmity. They are not only with them on the road question, but they are even recognizing the fact that the automobile is a very useful vehicle. With good roads connecting the markets and the farms there is no reason why automobile transportation for the produce of the land may not soon follow, says Pittsburg Leader. Autotrucks are in use in all large cities for heavy hauling and if farmers have roads with bottoms to them they will soon begin to take advantage of that very efficient means of transportation. A short time ago there was organized in Nebraska a society composed of women who pledged themselves not to marry men who were without whiskers. Now another society composed of Nebraska girls has adopted resolutions in which the members pledge themselves not to receive Sunday evening visits from men who are unshaved. It looks as if the men of Nebraska were going to be caught either coming or going. A woman in a typewriting contest in Paris recently won a victory over more than 150 competitors by writing 16,500 words in four hours. A man wrote 17,000 words, but he made so many mistakes that he was ruled out. An American woman has surpassed the Frenchwoman's record, for in the ordinary course of business she once wrote 10,500 words in two and a half hours, and made three copies as she went along. Boston experts are to cure tuberculosis by vaccination. Soon science may get so far along that a man will have a scar on his arm for every possible disease to which flesh is either heir or second cousin. "The world is just as you take it," says the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Rockefeller, who took a liberal slice of it some time ago, says it is good. So let everybody be happy. TWO BIG QUESTIONS THE "MORAL OBLIGATION" AND "DOES IT PAY?" An Honest Answer to These Will Keep the Trade with the Home Merchant Every Time. (Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred C. Clark.) When the thrifty person or his wife sits down for the first time—or any time—with the mail order catalogue and its temptations, there are two, and only two, points to be taken into consideration. One of these is moral obligation, and the chances are that that will be dismissed as sentimental nonsense. The other is—Will it pay? and to that the thrifty person will be inclined to interpret an answer from the prices quoted in black-faced figures in the catalogue. Neither of these questions should be lightly dismissed. Moral obligation is not sentimental nonsense, and black-faced figures sometimes lie. The duty a man owes to his own community and his obligation to trade at home are so often reiterated in the country press that, possibly like some of the preaching, it has a tendency to harden the hearts of the sinners. Nevertheless, the principle is true as gospel. What has your neighboring town given you, Mr. Farmer? A market for your produce. What has made 25 to 50 per cent. of the present value of your farm? The accessibility of a market. You know what your grandfather did on that same farm? Drove his hogs and hauled his grain 30, 50, maybe 75 miles to the nearest market town, and received prices for them that would make you howl about the trusts. And he hauled back the family supplies for which he paid what you would consider monopolistic prices. Do you happen to know what the old farm was worth then? Well, it lacked a good deal of being $75 or $100 an acre. Yes, the home town, with its handy market, has advanced the value of your property and made you worth several thousand dollars more than your grandfather was worth. The home town affords schooling for your children, and perhaps social and church privileges which your family would not otherwise enjoy. The rural mail routes and telephone systems, radiating from the home town, as spokes from a hub, bring to your home the greatest conveniences of modern times. What would your farm be worth and how many of these advantages would you be enjoying now, if the city from which that mail order catalogue came were your nearest market, your most accessible trading point, your only post office and social center, the only place to which you could look to connect you with the outside world? Have you ever noticed that the first thing the settlers of a newly-opened reservation do is to send for a wagon load of mail order catalogues? Well, I haven't. They lay out a town site every six or eight miles, start two or three general stores, build a school house, a church, a blacksmith shop, a grain elevator, petition the department for a post office, and start a newspaper. They know, from former experience that, with these things close by, life will be endurable, whatever hardships may come. They know, also, that without them they must live lives of isolation and endure an existence that is contrary to all natural human instincts. On the other hand, it goes without saying, that the average country town cannot exist without the support of its tributary territory. Then, if that THE PRESS MAIL ORDER HOUSE PUBLICITY The fire of publicity is the medium the mail-order houses are using to destroy this community. It is up to you, Mr. Merchant, to fight the devil with fire. By the aid of the local press you can hold him over the scorching flames, and put a stop to his devastating competition so far as this community is concerned. Will you not assist in the good fight? town affords the advantages for the rural citizen that have been enumerated, there exists what we may call an interdependence and a moral obligation between the two. Are you, Mr. Thrifty Farmer, living up to that obligation when you do your trading with the mail order house? To this line of argument the farmer may answer that his greatest obligation, his first duty, is to his immediate household, and that among the duties to his family and to the heirs of his estate is that of practicing judicious economy—buying where he can buy the cheapest and to the best advantage. And this brings us to the second point in the argument—the paramount question in this commercial age—"Will it pay?" By most people an affirmative answer to that question is accepted as the call of duty. As a matter of fact, "Will it pay?" is a good test to apply to any project or proposition. There are commercial, as well as political. MAIL OR HOUSE PUBLI The fire of publicity is the medium destroy this community. It is up to you with fire. By the aid of the local pre flames, and put a stop to his devastation munity is concerned. Will you not a demagogues, and the man who is appealed to on the score of patriotism or profit, duty or dollars, can scarcely do better than to sit down by himself and submit that question—"Will it pay?"—to his own best judgment. Provided always, that he goes to the very bottom of it. What are the relative advantages of buying at the local store and ordering from a catalogue house? Advantages, understand, that figure in the question, "Will it pay?" Don't get away from that question. It certainly is very comfortable to sit down by your own fireside and select a dress pattern or a sulky plow from a printed description and a picture of the article; much more comfortable, in fact, than hitching up and driving to town on a raw day. A consideration more important, perhaps, is that the printed price in the catalogue seems, in some cases at least, to be lower than the price quoted at the local store. Isn't that conclusive? Let's see. The catalogue describes the goods and quotes a price; maybe it gives a picture of the article also, but you don't see the goods. The local merchant shows you the goods; you may examine them critically; he may allow you to test them or to call in an expert to advise you. Is it fair to conclude that the --- catalogue article is the cheaper just because the price is lower? An element that must enter into the comparison of goods and prices is, that in any attempt to fool the customer, the local merchant is decidedly at a disadvantage. He must show the goods, not merely describe them. His business depends wholly upon the limited trading area of his town and his ability to inspire confidence within that circle. He cannot afford to make a practice of misrepresenting his goods. The mail order house is not so tied down to the maxim that "Honesty is the best policy." It has no neighbors, no fellow citizens, no mutual interests with its patrons. Its trade area is wide and always shifting. Naturally these conditions do not demand extraordinary vigilance in supplying honest-made goods. And where Vigilance is not a needed employee in the business he is generally taken off the payroll, which makes a saving in expense. m the mail-order houses are using to you, Mr. Merchant, to fight the devil ss you can hold him over the scorching competition so far as this com-ssist in the good fight? as well as in the cost of the goods. If lower prices are quoted by the catalogue house, may not this account for it? "Will it pay?" Is it a matter of economy to buy inferior and damaged goods when the same money, or even a little more, will pay for goods of the best quality? Which course does a man's first duty to his own household dictate? But to get at the bottom of that question, we must consider the far-reaching general effect of mail order trading. If single catalogue houses are to be capitalized at $40,000,000, they must be reckoned with along with Standard Oil, the beef trust and railroad mergers. If they are allowed to suck the blod from our country towns, your grandchildren will find conditions much the same as those of your grandfather's time. Their markets will be 30, 50 or 75 miles away. The towns and villages will be deserted, and the "hubs" will be too distant to send the radiating spokes of rural mail, telephone lines and other modern conveniences far into the country.

Robbins and the last named cusses are in the same boat, but they can't fool the common ordinary fellows. At this writing it looks as if there will be a Republican state convention, at which it will be decided whether or not the Republicans should put out a state ticket. The rank and file of the Republican party are against a ticket, and will not vote for a single person for any office. The 50,000 Negro voters of the new state will refuse to vote for any officer and will vote against the con. 'If this be treason then make the most of it.'

The Resolutions Were Written by C. B. Douglass. We, the members of the Republican Press Association of the Third Congressional district declare as follows: Whereas, there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district --- as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and. Whereas, the Republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO, in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen and still stands for that policy. Therefore, be it resolved by this association that the Republican party of the Third Congressional district is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE. COACHES, and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which shall have equal facilities and comforts of those furnished other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of Negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of other races. On this declaration of principles all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B. Douglass, Muskogee Phoenix. Now Doug is a member of the Hamilton Club and we presume that his brother members are in sympathy with him and his ideas. If such is the case, can any self respecting Colored man or any white man who believes in a "square deal" support this silk stocking club and its principles? We regret very much that some Good Men have linked themselves to this corpse because as a political factor it is not worth a tinker's d----n by a d----n and half. The recent victory for our party in Muskogee was won by the common ordinary fellows when all of the big ducks in each faction, said it could not be done. The boys in the trenches, both black and white, said we can, and they did it in good shape. Our position is just this; if the fellows who wear silk stockings can't come in contact with the cotton sock fellows, and with those who wear no socks at all then let them create a h-l of their own and we will go on saving the local party.

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowledge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to worldwide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of—Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.

Dear Sir, I came to this country from the State of Wisconsin three years ago, and must say that I am greatly pleased with the outlook in this western country. For my own part I am entirely satisfied with the progress I have made since coming here. I have raised excellent crops of grain of all varieties. Last season my wheat averaged 23 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats 60 and barley 40. We had a splendid garden this year, ripening successfully tomatoes, muskmelons, water melons, sweet corn and kindred sorts. The country is well adapted to wheat growing and mixed farming, and to my mind it is the best country under the sun for a man with a family and small means, as it is possible for a man to commence farming operations with much less capital than is required in the older settled countries. The climate is all that could be desired, being very healthy and invigorating. My wife came out about six months ago, and although inclined to be delicate in the old home, she has enjoyed the best of health since coming here. In short, I am more than satisfied with the land of my adoption, and I am also satisfied with the laws of the country. (Signed) JOHN LANGDON.

Awful Humor Eating Away Face—Body a Mass of Sores—Cuticura Cures in Two Weeks. "My little daughter broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 701 Coburn St., Akron, O., Aug. 30, 1905."

The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance.

Pe-ru-na Relieves Spring Catarrh. THE NEW YORK TIMES MISS DORA HAYDEN. "Without hesitation I write to thank you for the great relief I have found in your valuable medicine, Peruna, and will call the attention of all my friends suffering with catarrh to that fact. Besides I cheerfully recommend it to all suffering with catarrh in any form."—Miss Dora Hayden, 819 6th St., S. W., Washington, D. C. A Case of Spring Catarrh. Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 423½ N.Broadway, Pittsburg, Kas., writes: "Last spring I caught a severe cold, which developed into a serious case of catarrh. I felt weak and sick, and could neither eat nor sleep well. "A member of our club who had been cured of catarrh through the use of Peruna advised me to try it, and I did so at once. I expected help, but nothing like the wonderful change for the better I observed almost as soon as I started taking it. In three days I felt much better, and within two weeks I was in fine health. Peruna is a wonderful medicine." WET? You may be able to get along without a TOWER'S FISH BRAND WATERPROOF SUIT OR SLICKER But can you afford to?

LIVE STOCK A SWINE STORY. One Farmer's Hogs That Made a Great Profit. The Irish cottager who says that the pig "pays the rint" tells a no more patent truth than is contained in the statements made by Theo. Louis, John Cownie, and other great hog growers, that hog growing is one of the most surely profitable of all The Shelter That Housed 36 Hogs. branches of farming. Many people seem to think, however, that hogs pay well only in the "corn belt." This I know to be a mistake, writes a correspondent of Farming. My farm is not in the corn belt: on the contrary it is in one of the old states, and we never make any great surplus of corn. Nevertheless, I can make hogs pay well even when prices are down to four or five cents. When up to six cents, profits are a 100 per cent. or more. Corn is great feed for hogs; for fattening there is nothing better, but it is not wise to depend on corn, except where it makes big yields every year. I cannot do this and here is my method of making cheap pork, and getting good profits: I have three fields well fenced, adjoining each other. They have from eight to ten acres in each, and in each there is a good supply of running water. My hogs, in the latitude of Washington city, spend ten months of the year in these fields. At this writing there is in No. 1 a crop of late cowpeas on half and clover and orchard grass on the rest; in No. 2 there were oats and Canada field peas which have been eaten off; in No. 3 there are only early cowpeas. The hogs ran in No. 1 in spring and early summer, then in No. 2 till they ate the oats and peas, and now they are in No. 3 and will remain till the peas are gone. Then they will spend a large part of the winter in No. 1 on the late cowpeas. There is no kind of forage better adapted to making pork than these. Last fall I bought among a lot of hogs some half-bred Jersey and "razor-back" sows that had together 36 pigs. I fed the pigs two tons of tankage at a cost of $76, and $20 worth of corn, and let them run in good weather in a potato field that had been dug. They rooted up and ate all the potatoes that had been left. As soon as the clover and grass got up enough in the spring in pasture No. 1, I turned in the pigs. They stayed there till they were six months old and weighed 200 pounds each and the market price was $6.10. This made them average a little more than $12 a head. The money cost of these pigs when sold had been only $4.75 each, showing a gain of $7.90 a head. The Garden.

E. Law, of Brazil, Ind., has fairly earned the title "The Marrying Squire," by which he is known far and wide, having already married some 1400 couples. Ten years ago he was Deputy County Treasurer. "At that time," said Justice Law, "I was suffering from an annoying kidney trouble. My back ached, my rest lar and wide, having already married some 1400 couples. Ten years ago he was Deputy County Treasurer. "At that time," said Justice Law, "I was suffering from an annoying kidney trouble. My back ached, my rest was broken at night, and the passages of the kidney secretions were too frequent and contained sediment.

"Father bought him for me in Shanghai. Did you know they ate them there?" "I had heard that the Chinese ate dogs, but I thought it was a fake, like the story of their eating rats." "No; it is the truth. They do eat dogs, but only the chow variety. 'Chow,' you know, means 'edible.' Yes, they eat chows. In every butcher shop you see chows' carcasses hung up, the same as we hang up the carcasses of pigs. The flesh is white." "White?" "Yes; like veal. The Chinese raise chows for food and feed them only soft, washy stuff, mashed vegetables and bread and milk. No meat whatever. Hence the white flesh. "Notice Wu's black tongue. Well, chow tongue is a Chinese delicacy. They make soup of it. But it is very expensive, like our turtle soup, and it is only eaten by the rich. "Isn't it strange that a dog so fashionable with us should be only an article of food in China?" As daylight can be seen through very small holes, so little things will illustrate a person's character.

I 9 EVEN IF DISCOURAGED TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM. The Pills Have Cured the Disease in Almost Every Form and Even In Advanced Stages. Rheumatism is a painful inflammation of the muscles or of the coverings of the joints and is sometimes accompanied by swelling. The pain is sharp and shooting and does not confine itself to any one part of the body, but after settling in one joint or muscle for a time, leaves it and passes on to another. The most dangerous tendency of the disease is to attack the heart. External applications may give relief from pain for a time but the disease cannot be cured until the blood is purified. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medicine for this purpose as their action is directly on the blood, making it rich, red and healthy. When the blood is pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Goff St., Auburn, Me., says: "I had been sick for fifteen years from impure blood, brought on by overwork. My heart was weak and my hands colorless. I was troubled with indigestion and vomiting spells, which came on every few months. I had no appetite and used to have awful fainting spells, falling down when at my work. I frequently felt numb all over. My head ached continuously for five years. "About two years ago I began to feel rheumatism in my joints, which became so lame I could hardly walk. My joints were swollen and pained me terribly. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me by a friend, after I had failed to get well from the doctor's treatment. When I began taking the pills, the rheumatism was at its worst. I had taken only a few boxes, when the headaches stopped and not long afterward I felt the pain in my joints becoming less and less, until there was none at all. The stiffness was gone and I have never had any return of the rheumatism." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured such diseases as nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for the blood and nerves they are unequalled. A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood" and a copy of our diet book will be sent free on request to anyone interested. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. DEFIANCE STARCH easiest to work with and starches clothes nicest. HEALTH OF WOMEN HEALTH OF WOMEN In this nineteenth century to keep up with the march of progress every power of woman is strained to its utmost, and the tax upon her physical system is far greater than ever. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medicines. They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs.
