In a general order issued at
Washington, we note the fol-
lowing: 1t prohibits the solicit
ing of pensions or other claims
againse the United States on
military reservations or at
military posts, camps or sta
tions, and commanding officers
are directed to take measures
effectually to prevent such So
licitation. Officers and enlisted
men who give information with
a view to aiding persons who
solicit such claims will lay
themselves liable to trial by
court-martial. In this connec-
tion the army regulations have
been amended so as to provide
as follows:
Information concerning sick
and wounded officers and en-
listed men may be freely con-
veyed to allsy the anxiety of
friends. The fact Of the death
may be communicated to rela-
tives but not circumstances
Herewith, such as could be
made use of in prosecuting
claims against the government.
If any person in the military
service has knowledge of facts
pertaining to the service of an
individual who is an applicant
for a pension he NAV upon re
quest, if not pecuniarlv inter
ested, furnish a certificate of
affidavit setting forth his knowl-
edge, but such certificate or af-
fidavit will be furnished only
to the military secretary of the
army to be forwarded to the
proper officer of the Interior
department.

County
Fair,
tuesday.

If you are in doubt as to the
success of the Harrison County
Fair you ought to make a trip
out there and take in the dis
plays and exhibits. There are
some things in the way of
vegetables, the sizes of which
may seem incredible but never
theless the stories are true.
We noticed the big stalk cf
corn which is the talk of the
fair which is some twenty feet
tall and it is sixteen feet until
the first ear of corn is reached.
There is a carrot weighing 16A
pounds; a beet weighing 27A
pounds and so many other
vegetables of large sizes that
we cannot take the time to
write them. 1t is stated that a
certain farmer has decided to
make arrangements with the
Missouri Valley Telephone com
panv to furnish them with poles
from his corn field, but this
is only hearsay.
In the stock line there are
many fine COWS and bulls Of the
purest and most thoroughbred
stock. The Dunlap Stock
Farm; the Riverside Stock
Farm, and several others have
fine exhibits. The racing
horses are all here, some nine
teen in all and there is no doubt
the races will be the best ever
held here.
There are four or five good
stands" and lunch counters
where sandwiches and drinks
may be bought. There are
also several "nigger baby"
shows where you get a good
cigar with but little exertion.
A merry-go-round is also on
the grounds to take in the
Ishekels.
This afternoon there is base
ball, two games to be played,
but as we go to press the first
game is not completed, hence
we will give the scores tomor-
row.
Tomorrow forenoon there will
be stock Judging and in the
Floral He'll the Judging of the
fruits, laces, pictures, etc, etc,
will be started and everyone
should 90 ont in the morning
and stay all day.

The new system Of voting to
go into effect this Fall, will, TO
doubt, change the result of the
electi n to a considerable ex-
tent. Formerly with the circle
in which to make the "X" the
voting was done, almost invari-
bly,, along party lines, but with
that eliminated from the bal
lots, the voter may chose any
particular man to whom he is
partial and mark the "X" in
the square opposite such name,
without invalidating his ballot.
This new system certainly ap-
peals to all honest voters and
politicians for it tends to make
the ballot represent the wish of
the voter.

If the trouble in Cuba con-
tinues, Secretary Taft will not
be in the way for the race for
presidential nomination in 1908,
for it is stated he will be made
Governor of Cuba to dispel the
revolutionists. There seems
cnly one way now to settle the
trouble in that country, ard
that is by the United States
placing its army in control.

over the whole world. In many
places it is thought the only,

the theory of a protectorate is
a very pleasant dream it is not

there is only cne legitimate

In ancient days, when the Moors held full sway over part of the Medt- terranean, the first tariff was levied by force of power. Commerce ialter- ed at the gateway to the sea and paid tribute to the robber barons of Tar fla for the mere privilege Of passing. This southermOst town of Spain grew luxurious from the spells eXacted of commerce. It's leading pirates waXed so sleek and sly and fat that their dewlaps hung full with eyuberant plentitude.
 That was a thousand years ago. But the name that struck terror to com merce then still stands for piracy. No longer the interruptions Moors in their invincible stronghold Tarifa, but the modern cushion-footed buccaneers with their protection chloroform and the same old tariff.
 In the olden days the pirates took what they wanted in the open, flag flying, bows and battle axes ready, bold and brazen. Now they make tariff laws which exact tribute from the people as effectually as if they were at the mercy of a Moorish war galley, with Tarifa drowning menac- ingly in the background.
 Before the Moorish power was shat tered on the European continent the pirate-born name tariff was bequeath- d to the world. Ard now, centuries later, the battle between the free commerce of the people and the pro- tected barons of prey is still a vital isaIe,
 This fall the war is waging. Under the banner of Tarifa-the "standpat- revisionist'' Roosevelt; mountain high protection" Cannon; "not-very- high" Cullom; "protection-with,a-re- vision-rope" Cummings; and back of these men of many tariff masks the pIethoric Princes of Plenty.

sires for his people. He wants them to be on an equality with all other cit izens of the state whether they can speak or understand the English Ian guage or not; he would have for them the right to serve as jurors in the new state as they do now in the ter ritory of New Mexico, thus entailing the need and expense of interpreters to carry on all public business. Eff teen or twenty years ago Graham county, Arizona elected to the office of county recorder Eduardo Soto, then a prominent citizen of the Gila valley. He could neither read nor speak the English language and had to fill the office with deputy; the following leg islature fixed as a qualification for office in Arizona requiring that a man
 should be able to read, speak and
 write the English language. Since
 then no one has ever held office here
 who was not thus qualified. The peo-
 pie of Arizona will never consent to a
 mongrel government which would re,
 quire interpreters in the courts, jury
 rooms and in the legislature.
 It will be seen that Mir. Chaves
 thinks there is a better chance now tc
 secure rights for his people than there
 would be two, four or six year:

 New Mexico politicians, backed by thu sheepherder vote, would be able tt

been in vain. But little by little the advocates of such legislation have made gains, and at last Georgia has adopted a child labor law that will. if enforced, go a great ways toward eradicating the evil in that state. Un- der this law no child under twelve can be employed in any gainfui occupa. ton, and none that can not read and write and Is under fourteen years of age can be employed at night. Georgia has done herself credit by the adOp- ton of this law It remains for her to do herself still greater cre,Iit by enforcing it. Those who have for
 years fought the industrial battles of children of the south have reason to rejoice at the dawning of SUCCESS. The national child labor co'nI:itt2c and the trades organizations oi the
 country have been enga saI in the crusade, and they will accept this first

Georgia has at last removed one stigma that has rested upon her ever since the re-awakening of the south and the establishment of industries long thought sacred to New England. Child labor has been the curse of the south ever since the establishment of the cotton mills in that section of the country, and Georgia has been, per haps, the worst offender of the lot. Year after year efforts have been made to secure laws regulating child labor in the several southern states, and year after year the efforts have

I am also of the opinion that if we vote for statehood on November 6 pext, and adopt the measure, a consti- tuti. which will fully protect the rights and privileges of our native people can and will result. do not mean that would like to see consti- tuition and code of laws which would discriminate unjustly and unfairly in their favor. What I do mean is that I want to see all citizens of the new LIcdlSu mattel born, TO matter what language they talk for the present, and no matter where their ancestors hail from. want all to have an even chance be fore the law, and I want my people properly recognized in the new state government as they have been hereto fore under the territorial form of gov ernment This can be secured to then now better than at any future time be it two, four or six years hence.
