Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol 8 Resolutions. Be it resolved by the Republican county central committee of Muskogee county that we are in favor of statehood but we are opposed to/ the proposed constitution in its present form and also opposed to the nomination of a ticket by the Republican party. We believe the nomination of a ticket will be taken as an endorsement of the constitution and will mean at least 20,000 more votes for that unfair and un-American paper. Every candidate nominated will naturally desire an election and will generally ask his friends to vote for the constitution because if the constitution is defeated he will have no office to fill. For this reason every democratic newspaper in Indian Territory and Oklahoma is seeking to drive the Republican party to the nomination of a state ticket and every democrat is anxious to have our party to put a ticket in the field so they can say to President Roosevelt, your party is inconsistent if they win they want to knock it out. Leading members of the House and the United States Senate have promised a new enabling act in December and we can then have an opportunity to form a new constitution fair to all men and all parties and republican in form. The above Resolution was adopted by the Muskogee county central committee, July 10.1907. The Apportionment. Seventy-fifth District. Precinct one—two delegates. Precinct two—six delegates.

Waterford is visiting friends in Topeka this week. She will be absent three or four weeks. Frantz is O. K. for governor if he steers clear of the Douglass platform. POLITICAL Bushwhacker The morning Phoenix breaks loose with a lot of falsehoods and mis representations touching the acts of the County Central Committee and their opposition to Governor Frantz. The County Central Committee has nothing to do with the personal fight (if there is one) between Douglass and Raymond. The Committee did not go on against the aspirations of Governor Frantz. Douglass is now trying to use Frantz in order to restore himself to favor and become a dictator in politics. Up to this day the Negroes have said no unkind words against the Governor and there is and has been no opposition to his laudable ambitions. We are unalterably opposed to the present constitution and to the nomination of a ticket under such conditions. We recognize the fact that Governor Frantz is President Roosevelt's appointee and has the active support of the administration but it's time enough to "cross the bridge when you get to it." We repeat the Negroes have no disposition to oppose Governor Frantz but if the Gov. is on the Douglass platform, as Douglass intimates, then we are opposed to HIM; because the Douglass platform is the most disgraceful, hellish political monstrosity that was ever inflicted upon a people. Any man who stands upon it is doomed to defeat, no matter who that man may be. If Governor Frantz is wise he will muzzle some of his fool friends over here until after the Convention at least. The issue here is Republicanism versus Douglass Platform and Party Wreckers. The issue will be decided next Thursday and right will triumph over wrong. LOYALTY. We who live in the new state are proud of our citizenship and we hope to land this new state in the Republican column. We can do so by being loyal to the graud old Republican party regardless of our views. H. M. McMillan. No 41 The Republican Party The Republican party has always stood for justice and right regardless of color or creed and in the first battle in the new state, if it can win by standing by these fundamental principals of equality and justice to the Negro; "the Republican party is the ship all the rest is the wide tempestuous sea." In the present crisis every loyal and true colored citizen must stand by the action of the state Republican convention whether it meets his individual views or not. We believe the wisdom of the entire party in convention assembled is superior to that of any one individual. I am a young Republican and ask all young men to stand by the party of progress in the new state. R. H. Morris. The Junglis Theatre South Second Street Opposite City Hall Muskogee, Indian Ter.

"I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905." One Point of View. It was the desire of a teacher in a negro school to impress upon the minds of the youths the benefits derived at Tuskegee and other seats of learning for the ambitious negro. One day, in closing a brilliant discourse on this subject, in which Booker T. Washington was set forth as a criterion, she said to one little boy who had evidently heard not a word of her talk: "Now 'Rastus, give the name of the greatest negro?" The answer was surprisingly forthcoming—"Joe Gans!" Why "Kangaroo." "Kangaroo" is a queer word. It means "I don't understand" in the tongue of the Australian aborigines. When this strange animal was first beheld by Europeans they inquired of the aborigines "What is its name?" And the puzzled reply gave the animal its name.

Dear Sir—I have just returned from a trip over your Atascosa County property, and to say that I am surprised at what I saw, but fairly expresses my feelings. I had expected something pretty good, because I have considerable faith in your agents, whom I happen to know; but what I saw is far beyond my expectation. I drove hurriedly over probably twenty-five miles of ground, passing several of your flowing wells and tanks, and I don't believe that there is an acre of ground that is not fit for first-class cultivation. Upon my return to Little Rock I shall take out several more shares before they are gone, and will advise my friends all to take as many as they can afford. I have just written to my brother in Indiana, advising him to do this on my judgment. I certainly think your proposition is one of the most liberal propositions I have ever seen offered, and I certainly think that the people of South Texas will owe to you an everlasting debt of gratitude for the method you are using to settle this veritable garden of Eden with new people. I thank you for the courtesies extended me on my recent visit, and I trust the time will not be long when the division will occur, and I certainly shall return to Little Rock figuring on eventually coming back to Atascosa County. Yours very truly, E. A. KINGSLEY, Write today for full particulars and photographs showing views on the ranch. DR. CHAS. F. SIMMONS, 215 Alamo Plaza, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. Chance Not to Be Missed.

Amateur Gardener Could Not Understand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout. The woes of the amateur gardener are very amusing to others, but decidedly real to the man who has spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his hands and lost his temper in his efforts to make things grow. A young man, recently married, early in the spring secured a suburban place, mainly with the idea of "fresh, home-grown vegetables." Every evening he would hurry through his supper and rush out to his garden, where he displayed more energy than skill. But, alas! When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara. "It certainly has got me beat," he confided to a friend at his office one day. "I can't understand why not a blessed thing has come up. I planted peas and corn and tomatoes." "Perhaps the seed were reflective," the friend suggested. "I hardly think it was that," the gardener replied, 'for I got the very best—paid 15 cents a can for them.' WHY SHE WAS THANKFUL. Little One Had Reason to Approve Father's Choice. Of the sisters of a well-known New York family one is married. She has one little girl greatly petted by all the aunts and subject to much advice from all of them. Of this last the little lady sometimes wearies, which weariness on a certain occasion made itself shown in the following reply from her small ladyship: Said one aunt: "If you were my child I should have you do thus and thus." Said another aunt: "Were you my child I would do so and so." The remaining aunt made a similar remark. The little lady thought it high time to express her own feelings. "But I have," she said, "always been so thankful that papa married the sister he did!" Wanted an Exouse. "What do you take when you're coming down with a cold?" "Whisky." "Wife object?" "Certainly not. She doesn't want me to be sick?" "One more question." "Well?" "What's the easiest way to start a cold."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. COULDN'T KEEP IT. Kept It Hid from the Children. "We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in effect, is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre-digested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. "There's a Reason."

LIVE STOCK Simple Plan of Shield to Be Placed Over Animal's Eyes. Anyone who has a vicious buck understands without further comment what he is apt to do when cross, and is often at a loss to know what to do with him. He may be perfectly satisfactory as a breeder and as a wool producer so that the shepherd is loath to part with him, says the Farmer, and at the same time his vicious habits make it necessary to fix up some contrivance to control him. Here is Good Buck Hood. a little diagram of a hood that can be made out of a leather boot leg. It is provided with loops to fit around his horns if he has them, or his ears if he has not, and can be tied with pieces of rawhide or stout cord. This fits down over the eyes and will soon be the means of calming his haughty spirits. PIGS AND CLOVER. A Little Grain Should Be Fed During the Summer. Pigs should not be carried through the summer on clover alone. A little grain will be required to balance the green clover. It is claimed by some that pigs can make just as good growth on Alfalfa or clover alone as they would if a little corn were given with the green forage. While it may be true that the pigs will make a profitable growth on alfalfa or clover, it is not true that they will do as well on these green feeds alone as they will if given a little grain in addition. The grain is needed to increase the number of pounds of food elements without correspondingly increasing the amount of dry matter. Several years ago the Nebraska station made an experiment to learn what proportion of grain to alfalfa was needed to make the most economical ration for growing pigs. It was found that the cost of producing 100 pounds of grain on alfalfa pasture alone, was about $4.30. On Alfalfa pasture with an addition of one and one-third pounds of grain the cost of 100 pounds of grain was lowered to $2.74 per 100. When the grain ration was increased to two and a half pounds per day, the cost was lowered to $2.45. It can be seen by feeding only one and a third pounds of grain ration per day, the cost of producing the 100 pounds of gain was lowered nearly one-half. While one single test should not be taken as reliable, it certainly shows that pigs should not be expected to pass the summer without a little grain ration. Quality of Meat of Beeves. The quality of meat of beef animals has enormously improved under conditions of high breeding and high feeding. This has been in part due to the lack of exercise which has made the muscles softer and it has been in part due to the selection for breeding of those animals having the right conformation to insure the best kind of meat. aches, there are dragging-down pains, nervousness, sleeplessness, and reluctance to go anywhere, these are only symptoms which unless heeded, are soon followed by the worst forms of Female Complaints.

SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circulation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the because they do not reach the blood. S. S.

No man should be sent as a delegate to a convention who refuses to vote one way or the other on every proposition. Whater is done by the Republican party in the convention assembled at Tulsa will be approved by the Republicans through out the new state. The man who tries to stir up strife between the county Negroes and those living in town is doing the race a great injury for the purpose of promoting selfish aims. The committeeman from Taft refused to vote on the resolutions, for or against. Why? Bird from the fourth ward also voted neither way. Why? The U. B. F. Grand Lodge convenes at Wagoner August 26.

Each precinct chairman must call his caucus to convene at two p.m. July 16. The real sentiment of the Republicand County Committee is defeat the constitution and put no ticket in the field under the present constitution. It is distinctly understood that we are opposed to the nomination of a ticket under the present constitution. If conditions change, then of course other things may also change. The Wagoner County Convention went on record as being opposed to the present constitution and opposed to nominating a ticket. The Republicans there seem to be the straight goods.

We expect many good farmers from that state this fall and even Mr. English may leave California for the Indian Territoy. It is utter foolishness to get up strife in the Republican party at this time. Let bygones be by-gones and let us common ordinary fellows get together and save the party as we did in the city campaign last spring. We can do it when we have a real constitution and nominate county officers. Harmony. We can and must have harmony in the Republican ranks in this county as that is the only way to elect a city and county ticket. We can begin by eliminating factional lines, if there be any, by the selection of delgeates to the state convention. We can select delegates without regard to former factional differences and the convention can instruct the delegates upon any particular question it may desire. To us it seems that the Republican party is against the constitution and against a ticket under the present order of things. If there is a change in CONDITIONS before the convention meets then that alters our position, but sensible Republicans will see that the only thing to do at present is to oppose the constitution as it now stands. That is what the Muskogee county resolutions stand for—nothing more and nothing less. NEGROPHOBIA. Eight thousand dollars ought to buy considerable opposition to the nomination of a state ticket, but as a matter of justice the division of the spoils should be made among all the voters bought and not among the white and colored leaders only. Members of the Afro-American League will no doubt be interested in knowing if the rumor that some of their leaders received $8,000 from the whiskey men is true, and it is perfectly natural for them to ask whether the white or coloerd "leaders" in this vicinity got the money. A rumor is current that the anti-prohibitionists have paid the leaders of the Afro-American league of the two territories $8,000 to oppose the creation of a state under the present enabling act. Does this account for some of the activity in this section against the nomination of a state ticket?—Muskogee Phoenix, July 6, 1907. The above cnippings are all from the paper that does not believe in a square deal for the negro. The editorials clipped show that the editor desires to make the public believe that Coody Johnson, the chairman of the league and his committee on resolutions which was composed of R. Emmett Stewart and others are guilty of getting some money from the whiskey men. No decent men believe that there was any money paid by whiskey men to any of our leaders of the league and all negroes know who our leaders are. The only white man from Muskogee who attended the meeting at Oklahoma City was Major Booker who contributed to pay for the meeting place. (The Oklahoma City crowd had failed to provide and pay for a place of meeting.) Doug knows the negroes are against the Haskell constitution because it is dangerous to his future in this state as hell to a powder barrel and we believe the reason Doug favors the adopting and amending is that he and fellows who concur with him are for the disrupting of the republican party and the damning of the negro. We wonder why Doug has failed to reply to the article in the Guthrie State Capital in which Greer charges that some paper in Muskogee (presumably republican paper) was in on the $5,000 deal gotten up by democrats at Oklahoma City to create dissension in the republican party. Was Doug in on that deal? On behalf of our leaders we brand as an infamous lie that they got any money as set forth in the above clippings. We have never heard that any leader of the league over here was opposing a state ticket. This paper is opposed to the damnable misfit called a constitution and is opposed to the nominating of a ticket on such a sandy foundation (we are not a leader) and we will stand by our guns and fight the infernal predjudiced rebel constitution and a ticket until hell freezes over and then fight on the ice. This battle means much, in fact everything, for the negro and while we know there are a few cusses who wear black skins that favor Doug's plan and resolutions, yet we know that the great majority are against them and their masters, the lily whites and will stand forever against such political freebooters and pirates. Hell is so full of such negroes and their white political grafters that their legs stick out of the windows. Doug should pluck the beams from his eyes and then he might see the mote (if any there be) in the eyes of Coody Johnson, et al. Governor Vardeman, of the state of Mississippi is reported to have been converted recently at a "mourners'" bench, and openly renounced his sins, saying, "I surrender all to Jesus for salvation and service." He either does not mean what he said or his Savior is not Jesus the Christ, and the Bible is not his guide, for he has not yet changed his position on the race question. Subsequently to his conversion it said that Governor Vardaman in closing a speech remarked, "God bless the white women, God bless the white men, God damn the negro." If he is really converted, then the doctrine we have been preaching of "Malice toward none and charity toward all" is unnecessary.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. We have some Vardemen in this country such as Polecat Bill (Bill Murray) and the editors who signed the Douglass resolution. The above clipping is taken from a Christian paper and we believe every word contained therein. We are of the opinion that Vard has lots of sympathizers in the new state, especially those cusses who hail from the twin hells of Arkansas and Texas. Do you see the application? Political Platform of C. B. Douglas, Editor Muskogee Phoenix. Clipped from Phoenix of September 25, 1906. The Resolutions Were Written by C. B. Douglas, Himself and Presented to 11 Other Editors Who Voted FOR Them. We, the members of the republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District declare as follows: Whereas there is an apparent mis- understanding 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 the other races. On this declaration of principle all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B. DOUGLAS, Muskogee Phoenix S. S. COBB, Wagoner. Can the republican party stand for the above dope or for the fellows who signed the dope? We know that a negro who is not a traitor to his race and party can't support the fellows or their associates who tried and are still trying to d—— us. All we ask is that Doug and his cohorts keep out of our sunshine. Tulsa, I. T., June 27.—No one in this bustling city today was more interested in the call for the republican state convention here July 12th than Dr. S. DeZell, Hawley, who has made such a splendid canvass for the gubernatorial nomination. Dr. Hawley talked freely with a reporter on the situation and declared himself as being most pleased with the news that a campaign was about to begin. Asked if he believed a ticket should be nominated, the doctor said: "My position is just this, I am a candidate for governor and I fully believe that if a ticket were to be nominated I should easily win. I am still a candidate and have no doubt whatever of my nomination if a ticket is named. But I am also a good loyal republican and believe in accepting the will of the majority of my party and it seems to me best in the light of circumstances as they have shaped themselves, that we give our whole effort to defeating the infamous constitution and in doing so we want to avoid all complications that would arise by having state and county tickets in the field. No one has worked harder for statehood than I have. No one wants it to come quickly more than I do. But we do not want it under the unfair and outrageous provisions of the Murray constitution. I believe we should defeat that constitution and I am for harmonious action and will be found with the majority of my party at any personal sacrifice, working for justice and fair play. I am more content to take this position because I am assured that if the constitution is defeated a new enabling act will be given us at once, and an early opportunity to frame and adopt a new constitution under which we will have statehood to be proud of."

New York, Muskogee Cimeter. W. H. TWINE, Editor. IND. TER. MUSKOGEE Ingenious But Not Inventive. Women have great ingenuity in adapting old contrivances to new ends, but little power for inventions. The patent office at Washington contains, to be sure, many models from feminine hands, some useful and some fantastic. For example, one woman who wished to combine gardening and poultry-raising invented an anti-scratching appliance for the feet of her hens; but it is to be feared the condition of the feathered flock suffered from lack of their customary relish of worms. Most of the popular and effective conveniences of personal and domestic life have been made by men. A woman can do more things with a hairpin than a man could ever accomplish. She will pick a lock, extract a bean from a baby's ear or nose, run a string into a curtain, hang a picture or button her boots with the useful hairpin. But in spite of the frantic demand for a practicable pocket, she has not invented one; and she still washes and wipes by hand the family dinner dishes. A woman's ability to make the best of things as they are is a distinct characteristic of the sex, says Youth's Companion. It would be sadly missed if it were to be supplanted by even a high order of original inventiveness. For this easy, rapid adaptation of inadequate means to desired ends is applied by a woman not only to the machinery of the household, but to the human forces among which she lives. The ingenious wife adapts even a clumsy husband and an inexperienced cook to the production of domestic harmony. A Reasonable Explanation. Henry James is credited with the remark that he "never heard an American woman say 'thank you.'" We conjecture, says Chicago Tribune, that on one or more occasions Mr. James has risen in a crowded car and offered a seat to some woman who did not say "thank you" for the reason that she recognized him by his printed portraits and knew she would not have time to say: "Sensible in a high degree, although it should be observed, perhaps, that in the domain of the intellectual there should not be needed the propulsive effect of a motive as a stimulus to the process of realization in the abstract, apart from an implied obligation willingly assumed, and not wholly conventional, even though it may be the result of unconscious volition, or, to express the thought in terms less vague and elusive, and frankly recognizing, in the background of consciousness, the simulacrum of an anticipated quid pro quo—dismissing all this, I say, as shadowy and unreal, and subjecting the ponderable residuum to such analysis as we may, with such crude materials as we have at hand, for in the realm of the imagination there will be found the crucible of the alchemist, quite as real and substantial, albeit composed of substances not existent on the material plane," etc. This new Bourbon should be taught to forget some things in Spanish history as soon as he learns them if his life is to be smooth and pleasant. Boston has sent out scouts to ascertain the bean prospects and is holding her breath most of the time awaiting their reports. The bituminous coal fields of Alabama cover an area of 8,660 square miles. 6 PRIVILEGES OF A GENTLEMAN. Youngster Probably Will Change Ideas in Course of Time. There is a small boy in this town, says the Baltimore American, the son of a rather distinguished lawyer, who has decided opinions on what constitutes true aristocracy. One day recently a friend called upon his mother, and, while waiting for the hostess, was entertained by the small boy. "What are you going to do when you grow up?" was the stereotyped question she propounded in the effort to start the conversation. "Oh, I am going to smoke." "Yes?" "And chew." "Oh!" "And gamble." "Indeed!" "And swear." "Really!" "And drink corn whisky." "And why are you going to do such things?" asked the visitor aghast. "Oh, all southern gentlemen do them." LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED TRUST. Responsibilities of Officers and Directors. Evidently President Kingsley of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibility and duty of directors of corporations. Speaking to the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his election to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that "life insurance is more than a private business, that life insurance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the responsibilities that attach to a going business which at the same time must be administered as a trust." He also realizes that similar responsibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "I understand," he says, "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this burden for you, who are to discharge this trust in your behalf, who are to administer for the benefit of the people involved the multitudinous and exacting details to which it is impossible for you to give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life—covering nearly twenty years—my service in about every branch of the company's working organization, gives me, as I believe, a profound appreciation, not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoulders, but of the standards of efficiency, the standards of faith, the standards of integrity, which must be maintained at all times by the man who serves you and the policyholders in this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. "My thanks, therefore," he continues, "for an honor which outranks any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed in words; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." Accounted For. Among the many stories told of the Scottish judge, Lord Young, is one associated with an election in Edinburgh, when it was announced that Lord Wolmer had been returned by a majority of three votes. Later a correction made the majority 300, and gave the names of two lords of session who had voted for the successful candidate. Lord Young, thereupon remarked: "That accounts for the two ciphers." Full Particulars Wanted. When the nurse brought the cheering news to Toperton recently that he had just become the father of triplets, he betrayed no particular satisfaction. "Boys?" he growlingly queried. "Only one boy, sir." "Well," said Toperton, "go on; don't keep me in suspense. One boy—what are the others?"—Sketchy Bits.

"Soap Eubble Hanging from a Reed." Our life is but a soap bubble hanging from a reed; it is formed, expands to its full size, clothes itself with the loveliest colors of the prism, and even escapes at moments from the law of gravitation; but soon the black speck appears in it and the globe of emerald and gold vanishes into space, leaving behind it nothing but a simple drop of turbid water. All the poets have made this comparison, it is so striking and so true. To appear, to shine, to disappear; to be born, to suffer and to die; is it not the whole sum of life, for a butterfly, for a nation, for a star?—Henry Frederic Amiel.
