TO MAKE WAR ON
 HORSE THIEVES

Enid, Okla, Oct. 3.-Farmers and horsemen of a half-dozen states are assembled at the national convention Of the Anti-Horse Thief association, which commenced it's sessions in this city today. This unique organization, while perpetuating the vigilance soci- cites of the early days of the West, co-operates with the civil authorities in bringing all offenders to justice and aiding in the recovery of stolen property. That amateur sleuths are often more successful than their pro- fessional brethren is shown by the history of the association, and in the state prisons of the West and South west there are now scores of crimi- nals who owe their capture to the members of the Anti-Horse Thief as- sociation. The activities of the asso- citation are not now confined to the capture of horse thieves, but robbers, burglars, incendiaries, vagrants and 4 Ninals of all kinds who prey on 1asaua aety are the sworn foes of the associations membership. Protect the innocent and bring the guilty to justice" is the motto of the body, en- phasized in many criminal proceed ings in recent years.
 The present membership of the as sociation numbers 32,00O, gain of 4,000 in the last year. Kansas leads with 15,000. Oklahoma and Indian Territory have 10000, Ohio 2,4OO, Illi- nois 1,900, Missouri 1000, and Arkan- sas 1,500 members. The convention will be devoted to the transaction of the regular business before the body and to social entertainment features provided by the Oklahoma members.
 President John w. Wall of Parsons, Kan, is presiding at the convention w. B. Parker of Sturgeon, Mo-, is vice president, and J. M Pence of Morrisonville, Ill, secretary.
 The Anti-Horse Thief association had it's origin during the civil war, when many lawless bands of thieves and bandits scourged the border coun- try and preyed upon honest citizens. The first lodge was organized at Lu- ray, Clark county, Missouri, the cap ture of the horse thieves being it's especial object. This was in 1863, and before the war closed the association had spread to many other states. In some cases, where the civil authori- ties were unable to cope with the of lenders, horse thieves were meted out speedy justice at the ends of ropes With the return of established order the society confined it's efforts to aid ing the regularly constituted legal of ficers. With large funds at it's dis posal and thousands of members on the lookout for criminals, the asso- citation has renderd it unprofitable, expensive and exceedingly risky to steal from a member.

MoRGANTowN, Jan. 2s.-ouite a
commoHon was aroused among the
students of the university Saturday
when It was rumored that the Sigma
Chi, Phi Ssh, and Beta Theta Pi fra
ternities had withdrawn from partici;

generally believed that the action was
due to soreness over the outcome of
the athletic association election Fri.

Not only do the three frats with

withdrawn from the Monticola

the board and yesterday representa-.

Big Offices For Negroes.

Washington Dispatch to New York
Times.
President Roosevelt will have an op,
portunity of putting to the test those
Senators who have proclaimed their
.undying affection for the negro. He
has long wanted to make some ap.
pointmsnts in the north, where mer.
itorious negroes have been available
for government service, but always
reasons have been advanced why ne.
groes should not get important
places, and generally they have been
sidetracked.
The attitude which has been taken
by number of Senators over the
Brownsville order would indicate that
the time is ripe for giving some thor.
oaghly equipped negroes important
federal jobs.
Just where these appointments are
TO be made is not known. but 1t is said
by those who share the Presidents
confidence that he will make several
appointments in the north which he
long has had in mind.
1t is said one of the appointments
contemplated is for Ohio. Foraker's
State is Ohio.

The argument for government own
ership Of railroads in the United
States has usually been based upon
the view that these highways Of com
merce are Of public necessity and
should be placed under public con.
troll to insure to the citizen an equal
ity. Of advantage In their use. The
principal argument against such gov.
ernmental ownership has been the SUI
perior practical efficiency Of private
direction and management. But unless
conditions notoriously prevalent just
now should soon be changed for the
better. the public; ownership advocates
will become confident and aggressive
along wholly new line Of advance.
where they have heretofore been on
the defensive. They will point to the
complete breaking down Of efficiency
in the actual business OF transporta.
ton in this country. and will begin to
claim that the Government could not
possibly do things SO badly and would
in ali probability manage the roads
with a far higher degree of business
efficiency: Furthermore, they will
point to the inability of the great rail.
road managers to obtain the money
they need to make absolutely neces.
sary Improvements, whereas the Gov.
eminent of the United States could
obtain almost unlimited capital at half
the rate of interest the railroads
would be obliged to pay. It does not
follow that these new arguments will
be conclusive. There is no evidence
as yet to show that the people of the
United States. Justly exasperated with
the, railroad managers as they have
become. are by any means prepared to
throw the burden Of railroad owner.
ship and administration upon the Uni,
ted States Government. On the other
hand, they will heartily support the
Government In its present policy of
investigating abuses and trying to
compel those responsible for present
conditions to apply practical remedies.

influx of foreign and negro labor turns
the trick.
AS matter of fact, however, the
