NO FOUNDATION
FOR PRISON RUM0R
Commissioner Of Charities Here In
vestIgatlng Alleged Misconduct
Of Prison Guards.

Kate Barnard. state commissioner OF
charities, is spending today in this
city following up her investigation nf
the alleged misconduct of the guards
at Vinita, toward the women convicts,
during the time a part of the state
prisoners were confined here. Miss
barnard has been at McAlester the last
three days and at that place found nc
developments to warrant the allega-
tions made. The following report was
sent out from McAlester yesterday:
McAlester, Okla, Oct. 2.--The latest
prison scandal has dwindled down to
the fact that the sheriff Of Craig county
during the hot summer, occasionally
took the women convicts from the fed
eral jail at Vinita and allowed them
to walk in the cool of the evening He
took the min body and all of the wo-
men convicts deny that there was any
thing improper in their relations with
the sheriff, his deputies or the prison
guards.
This was in substance, the statement
OF A. Hpson. the assistant to Miss Kate
barnard, state commissioner of char
tiles and corrections, who is here aid
ing her and Warden Dick to investi-
gate sensational charges made in the
Oklahoma City Times Of September
26th.
Mrs. McGhee, an ex-convict, who
was alleged to have made some startl-
ing statements as to the mistreatment
OF women convicts while they we're in
the federal jail at visita, made an af-
fldavIt in which she repadiated the al
legged interview. declaring that she had
never given. on September 26th or any
other time, any statement to any news
paper man. that the statements attrib-
uted to her we're false and that there
had been, no misconduct.
Other startling charges, traced TO a
recently discharged male convict, were
also investigated. Prison Physician
Love and Or e. H. Tory. after an ex-
animation Of all the women convicts
today made certificate that these
charges were, to the best Of their
knowledge and belief, utterly ground
less.
The PERSONAL testimony of each Of
the female convicts Is also to the effect
that there was nothing improper at
Vinita.
Mr. Huson said that the Craig coun-
ty sheriff could not be justly charged
with anything except imprudence.

ORGANIZE TO FIGHT
RAILROAD SCHEME.
Labor And Farming interests Join
Hands Against Proposed consti-
tutional Amendment.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 2.--An attempt
is now being made to organize the
farmers and the labor interests OF the
state against the proposed amendment
to the constitution modifying the pro-
vision which forhids the sale Of rail-
roads organized under Oklahoma laws
to outside corporations. Provisions
we're made by the last legislature for
the submission Of the amendment, and
petitions are now being circulated by
Dorset Carter, president of the Okla
homa Central, asking for special cleo
ton on the question. The Oklahoma
Central was unable to make any mon
ey as an independent line, and is now
in the hands OF a receiver.
The first attempt at organization in
opposition to an amendment was made
this week at a conference between
Charles l.. Daugherty, state labor com
missioner, c. c, zeigler and j. Luther
Langston, president and secretary Of
the State Federation of Labor; S. 0.
DAVIS, state librarian and prominent
Farmers Union worker; Miss Kate
Barnard. state commissioner of chari-
ties, and her assistant, H. Huson.
The attitude taken at that confer
ence was that the proposed amend
ment was part of capitalistic scheme
to override the constitution Of the
state, which included also the suits
recently filed in the federal courts to
knock out the 2-cent fare and the pro-
visions for freight rate control and the
order recently secured from the federal
court at McAlister allowing the piping
Of gas out of the state To meet this
alleged attempt organized labor has
secured the services Of half dozen
speakers who W. traverse the state
and open the opposition fight in case
special election is called.

More Black Sheeb

1t is not pleasant to expose the BETRAYAL of
the common people of the South bv their
Democratic Senators, but it is a duty, and we
must not shirk it.
Hides ought to be on the free list Not one
farmer In thousand has any to SELL and
everybody has them to buy The very man
who has hide to sell and who would there
tore get few cents more for it if tariff
duty IS placed on it, will have to buy more
than one hide during the year in the purchase
OF the shoes, belts, saddles, harness, etc.,
which are made out of hides and whose cost
will be increased by the tax on hides.
Who will get the lions share of the benefit
OF the tax on hides? The meat packers of
Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis. These
combined capitalists are usually referred to
as the Beef Trust, and they are the main buy
-erS OF the cattle that furnish the hides. They
control the market in buying beeves and in
selling meats. They will not give the cattle
breeder dime more for his steer because of
the hlde-duty. They buy the animal by
weight, and the duty on hides will not make
the cow weigh pound more
Therefore, when we shut out the hides of
Central and South America by tariff duty.
we simply give additional profits to the Beef
Trust and it will come out of us when we
buy shoes, harness, etc.

went over to the Republicans on this issue are

Where DO We, the PEOPLE,
Come In?

The American people are so wise, and pa
triotic that they erect a tariff wall which
keeps the blasted foreigner from bringing us
low priced shoes We are on patriotic prin-
clple, opposed to low-priced Shoes It fills our
souls with feverish Joy to pay the American
manufacturer two prices for pair of brogans
which will last a plow-hand just about
month. 1t delights us unspeakably to see the
American manufacturer run up his prices on
shoes almost as rapidly as he lowers the quail
ity.
We are just so ravenously fond of dilber-
rles OF that sort that we can't bear the idea of
allowing the blasted foreigner to sell us better
shoes for less money. We are so devotedly at
tached to the American manufacturer that
nothing which he can do opens our eyes to
our folly.
For instance, the shoe-manufacturers of
America have established stores in London,
from which they sell American made shoes at
a lower price than we can buy them in this
country. Thus our blessed Protective system
gives us high-priced shoes while it carries
cheap shoes to the blasted foreigner
We tax ourselves with high prices on leath-
er goods of all kinds, and the net result is
that the manufacturer rolls in wealth while
the blasted foreigner walks abroad in cheap
American shoes.
