The one dark spot in the south
ern landscape Is Kentucky. For
months. certain regions OF that state
have been given over TO arson and
murder with only the fantest at

ties to deal with the offenders. Such
tcmporizing with lawlessness mas
been disastrous to Kentucky In more
vays than one. In addition to the
disgrace OF permitting such condl-
tlons for months and months Ken

DOWN WITH THE NIGHT RIDERS

II is evident enough that the
southern governors are not going
10 temporize with that form OF law
lessncss which has come to be
known as nightriderism. Governor
Campbell Of Texas, Governor Pat
terson of Tennessee, Governor Noel
Of Mississippi. Governor Glenn OF
North Carolina, Governor Smith OF
Georgia and Governor Sanders OF
Louisiana have all indicated In un-
mistakable terms that they will not
tolerate the midnight marauders who
have undertaken to control econom'
&c conditions through intimidation
and assassination.
Governor Patterson OF Tennesse~
has added luster to his wise admin
istration by going in person to the
scene of the recent trouble in his
state ana taking personal charge OF
the efforts to bring the murderers
TO justice, SO we'll has he command
ed the situation that we are now
assured that all who participated
in the Reelfoot Lake tragedy will
be brought TO justice
II is likely that Governor Pat

Obion county trouble will serve &c
discourage similar outrages in Other
southern states, for the several gov
ernors are just as determined a'
Patterson Is and they are backed
by q public sentiment that is just

that no effort be spared TO punish

Response to Welcome Address by
Hon. Lee Cruce.

The pleasure and privilege has
been accorded me to respond In
behalf of the Indian Territory FED
Grafton of Women's Clubs to this
cordial welcome as rendered by the
honorable and distinguished NJ.
Cruce from the good people of Ard
more. He has indeed made us feel
that our presence in your midst Is
pleasure, and we thank you most
heartily for this genuine hospitality.
And we will always look upon 1t as
gem in the diadem of crowns,
which will weld a link in the golden
chain of riendship, which will bear
fruit in the reciprocal feeling of
every individual here tonight.
The purpose of this gathering has
already been made known 10 you,
that Is the amalgamating OF the
Indian Territory and Oklahoma Fed
erations of Women's Clubs. Our
first requisite on this auspicious oc-
casion. being a woman's organiza-
tion. will be harmony of impulse and
concerted action, and by this mani
festation we will resemble a well
organized body of men, for contra
ry to all heresay, we are dependen,
upon the men, and not a ew OF us
upon the men, and not few OF us
TO the Anti-Man League. Our only
regret is. that we cannot resort TO
the saying so many toast masters re-
sort TO when addressing the ladies'.
God bless 'em, we love them all"
The new star, ladies' and gentle
men, represents the Oklahoma Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs. May its
brilliancy radiate around the orbits
and be ever bright. May the eyes
OF the General Federation LOOK with
pride upon the union of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. May the fruits
of this union ripen into broad mind
ed women, ever ready to bear and
forbear. always willing to lend a
] helping hand TO the uplifting OF
womanhood, and TO the intellect OF
motherhood, TO the equal rights OF
all and special privileges 10 none
And since it has long been proven

cities in the United States are 81, 211, 79S,

1913 per cent under clearings of the first
week of August in 1906. The loss con-
tinues quite large at Philadelphia, Pitts.

conditions affecting special interests in
those sections. st. Louis and Kansas City
again report a gain and at other leading
cities losses are small
Midsummer dullness affects trade and
the volume OF bank clearings, usually at
the low pefnt OF the year in August. is
reduced. but 1t is now materially above
the amount in the earlier months of the
year. showing q market improvement in
that respect.
Dispatches to Duns Review indicate
further progress in the right direction, al
though improvement Is slow. Boston re-
ports that cotton mills are still curtailing
greater activity in the wooden industry.
Dry goods jobbers are placing fall orders
freely and the situation will be improved
by the auction sales.

There is a steady trade in groceries and
