Floral Corps Badges.

Inc floral corps badges are beginning to
appear all over the city. Captain Nathan
Blckford has this matter in charge. Some
of the handsomest new ones lately made
are the Greek cross of the 9Th Corps. and
the six-pointed star of the sth Corps at 9Th
and pennsylvania avenue southeast; the
triangle of the 4th and the five-pointed star
OF the 18th Corps. at the southwest corner
OF the pension bureau; the Commissioned
fort design of the 10th Corps; the foul an
Choir and cannon of the 9th Corps and the
star and crescent of the It'll Corps at the
west front of the pension building The
9TH Corps badge Is placed there as com
pliment to Mr.. Eugene F. Ware. the com
missioner of pensions, who served in that
corps.
"A portion of the time" commented the
commissioner, to whom this little tribute
appeals with good deal of strength. II
was In the army of the west, and the army
OF the Arkansas, and all round, most any
place where there was work We were
cavalry, you know-just cavalry"
As the commissioners military record
shows up conspicuously for valiant serv-
ice, being Just cavalry evidently counted.
One of the most striking designs yet made
by Captain Brown is probably that of the
9th corps at the west front of the pension
office. The cannon and foul anchor are
crossed in the center upon raised sur
race, and are made of the cactus known
commonly as odd hen and chickens" The
rest is formed OF a lighter shade of the
same cactus.

Army of the Cumberland, with which 'sold
Pap Thomas" won his undying fame and
about the Logan statue in Iowa Circle are
the badges of the army of the Tennessee,
the most conspicuous being that of the
10th Corps-the cartridge box and forty
rounds" which helped Logan on to glory.
The story of the selection of this emblem
and that of the acorn are interesting. 1t
was during the fighting about Chatta-
nooga, where Thomas got the title Rock
OF Chickamauga" that the acorn came In
for place on the menu of the hungry
soldiers. The Army of the Cumberland

nations were used and Kaleidoscope con,bi-

announces that red, white and blue next To

The committee of which Mrs Weiss Is
chairman Will have to decorate the Church

corps convention; the Lutheran Memorial
Tor the ladies of the G. A. r.; the Wash

probable that Miss Clara Bartons private
collection of flags Of all nations will be
used here in compliment to these war wo-
men who have seen service on other than
American battlefelds. Another hall to be
decorated is that of the Daughters of Vete-
rams. corner of 9Th and G streets There
may be two or three other halls to decorate.
Beside the flags there will be palms to Sc
cure for the platforms and freshly cut fiow-

Mrs. Weiss is determined to present to
the guests OF the city the handsomest deco

our NAVY.

The coming OF recruiting officers for
the United States navy TO this city
On the 18th Of this month viii raise
the question Of enlistment to some Of
our young men While Oklahoma has
no young men TO spare, yet it could
but be with FEELING Of pride that
the people would look upon any who
might go to represent Oklahoma in
the proud fleets Of the United States.
The fact that Oklahoma had sailor
boys on the blue main, under the
stars and stripes would add an addi-
tional pride and interest in our his
toric and now world famous navy.
Some rare opportunities to see the
world are offered to young men by
enlistment in the naval service, much
more SO than the army For that rea-
son the navy has been able to secure
a higher class OF recruits and to get
many young men from the west.
The government finds from actual
experience. that no class Of young
men are more apt and possess more
soldiers or sailors than the boys from
the farms and ranches of the west.
They have the nerve. the intelligence
and the endurance that are needed in
the trying hours. when victJiics are TO
be won
A few years of this service, would
serve as a good training school to
any young man. who resuessly desire
to sniff the salt breezcs of the wide
ocean.
The service however. is one Of
close. earnest discipline and the first
law of success is earnest devotion to
duty /, must not oe looked upon as

THE ST. LOUIS HousEcLEANINe.

THE ST. LOUIS HoUsEcLEANlNG.
The most hopeful thing that has
occurred in the municipal life of a
large city for a long time. is District
Attorney Folks successful incarcera-
tion of the Doodle members of the
house of delegates of st. Louis.
For years these men had carried on
a systematic prostitution of their high
offices for the money there was in it.
They were bound to secrecy by a sol
emn oath and for time defed de-
lection, just as many such gangs in
other legislative and municipal bodies
have done.
These gangs Of boodlers are usually
so strong that they have control of
the machinery OF justice as well as
their own nefarious bodies, but here is
where they fell down in St Louis.
District Attorney Folk Is relentless
and the spectacle of five of the big
boodlers spending a night in Jail is pc
culiarly gratifying to the general pub
lie. which has been so long the victim
Of such gangs of thieves.
If these men can be brought to ul-
timatc justice it will be worth millions
Of dollars to the cities and the peo-
pie in general
Boodling Is one Of the most heinous
crimes. because it is a treacherous be
trayal of public confidence.

The only reason why Democrats

The point in the case cited is the

fact is that Mcclure is a human frost

SOME STATEHOOD HISTORY.
