ATTEMPT TO BRlBE
SENATOR GORE EXPOSED.
Blind Member From Oklahoma
Says $4,000 Was Offered Him
10 HELP KILL AN INDIAN BILL
Favorable Legislation by Congress
Would Award Fees Aggregating
$3,OOO,OOO to Lawyer y. Frank
McMurry and His Associates.

washington, D. c. Thomas p.
Gore, the blind Senator from Oklaho-
ma. startled the Senate by declaring
that $25 goo, with the suggestion of
an increase to $4,000, had been of
fered to him in an effort to procure
his assistance in killing measure
pending before Congress affecting
contracts between certain attorneys in
Oklahoma and the Choctaw and Chick
asaw Indians.
He charged that more than $1,000
900 in legal fees was involved in these
contracts, and that this amount would
be lost to the attorneys If the legisla-
ton which he was fathering we're en-
acted
This charge by Senator Gore stirred
the Senate as nothing has stirred 1t in
a good many years, but Senator Gore
added to the sensation few moments
later by declaring that the man who
attempted to bride him had said that
a United States Senator and a mem
Der of the House of Representatives
were interested in these contracts
In the event of favorable legislation
by Congress a fee of 100000 is to
be paid to j. Frank McMurry and his
associates by the Choctaw. and Chick
asaw Indians of Oklahoma for effect
ing the sale of their coal and oil lands
to a syndicate for $50, 100000.
Such was the charge made by Sem
ator Gore. He added that one ex
Senator from Kansas and one ex-Sen-
ator from Nebraska had an interest
in the prospective fee.
Thomas P. Gore is the Senator to
whom bride was offered and by
whom it was refused.
Charles e. Creager, of the Third
Oklahoma District, is said by mem
bers of the Oklahoma delegation to
be the member of the House to whom
a bride was rendered and who also re-
fused it, But Mr.. Creager himself de-
MED that any one rendered him
bride.
Mr.. Gore did not give the name
of the Senator interested in the fee,
but plainly declared that Bird Me-
CURE, of the First Oklahoma District,
was the member of the House in
volved
The ex-Senators brought into the
matter are Chester l. Long, of Kan
sas, and John M Thurston, Nebraska.
Mr.. Gore says the Senator involved
is member of the Committee on In
dian Affairs and the Congressman a

upon the problem of hitting objects

SO, with much less or greater degree

fore reliable range tables could be
compiled and used in firing at air
craft.
owing to the speed at which air
craft can travel, the problem of ac-
curate firing at them would be consid-

difficult for persons in the air craft to

Alabama Roads Should Be Narrower

The roads of England are narrow, and so as a rule are the roads of other Flu ropean countries. They have deep founda- tions and are hard, smooth and excellent, and thus far no money is wasted in Eu- rope in giving the rural roads unneces- sary width.
 This is a subject that needs attention in the rural sections or Alabama. In the farming districts we should put our money in deep foundations, wasting none in unnecessary widths. Not only do wide reads cost more to build, but they cost most to keep in repair The agricultural department at Washington sent a road expert to Europe to study this questio my observation, the roads in this coun- try, especially in the south, are too wide and lack the requisite of foundation
  slider the English roads, although the narrowest, the best roads over which I toured in Europe, especially as the surface was tarred, and covered with a light coating of sand" The rural roads Of England resemble lanes in width, and the width of the hard, improved part is not perhaps over 15 feet.
 In building roads in thrs state some rule as to width should be agreed upon, and the public will be satisfied if the roads to be built are narrow and have deep foundations. In the county not a dollar should be expended in making roads that are wider than the excellent and satis- factory English roads.

o, MY LADY!
Don't Overdo Your Huff for You May
 Have It Called

From the Detroit News-Tribune.
 The buffers punishment comes on apace. The first bluff she fails to get away with discredits her forever The trouble with most buffers Is that they are so carried away by their successful attempts they become bolder and bolder and end by doing very coarse work in deed In the end they find themselves the target of universal contempt.
 Women are champion buffers. They claim they have to be, but this is non sense. If the truth were told they do not bluff either their husbands or their fathers as they think they do. The fathers yield through weakness, and the husbands because they don't want row. In many a house. where the .hus- band has no respect for his wife it is because he sees through the latter's s bluffs.
 If only women were wise enough to see they don't really gain anything in this way.
 My dear madam, if you want to be respected and well treated never threat en to do anything you are not ready to carry out. and therefore be very careful
 what you do say you will do. The world is full of silly women who are continually threatening to leave their husbands or commit suicide, and if they were told to go ahead they would be | very embarrassed indeed. | In the courts lately there have been several cases of spoiled wives who at- | tempted CD to commit suicide, but they
 did 1t so cautiously and were so careful about being caught just in time that
 both judge and lawyers could hardly conceal their smiles,
 l There is nothing more contemptibe in
 the world than the feminine buffer who
 uses her cheap heroics to gain her ends. l Her bluff deserves to be called every l fit1na

JudeShip of the Second Circuit

The action of the state committee in naming candidate for judge of the Sec ond judicial circuit is unobjectionable except as a precedent. Two full months are to elapse before election day, and 1t vacancy rendered action by the state com mittee necessary. A September primary is what 9s per cent of the people, said one speaker from Crenshaw county, de- sired
 This action should not be regarded as a precedent, ,so long as the constitution makes the judiciary elective by the peo- pie; for if a candidate for judge can be selected by the state committee two months before election day a candidate for any other office up to the head of the ticket may be- While no harm has been done, yetsthe inroad upon the direct rights of all democrats to select without intermediates their own candidates will be appealed to whenever it will serve the purposes of those who dislike direct ac- tion by the rank and file.
 The vote in the committee stood 22 to 13. A majority of the committee was in favor of a committee nomination, but 1t was plain from the discussion which preceded the action of the committee that the people of the Second judicial circuit preferred to select their own candidate for judge. No harm, however, has been done, beyond setting precedent that politicians will call up whenever and wherever 1t suits their own purposes. As far as Judge Gamble, the nominee, is concerned, he is regarded as a most admirable selec- tion

The farm CTS were apparently in hard luck. l was in what is called the blaclSbet on the first day of July and people there were depressed because the cotton crop was, they thought, going to be a failure.

 T come back to Alabama now and I find instead of depression genuine ela- ton over the crop situation The cotton crop in this state will not only be far ahead of last years fine crop but 1t will come very near being a record breaker. Humanly speaking, I would say Alabama Is bound to make 1,300,OOO bales of cotton, and if there are abund- ant showers and late frost it need be no surprise if Alabama's cotton crop totals 1,4O0000 bales, the biggest ever made.
 And almost as important as the large cotton yield is the immense corn crop in Alabama. Nearly all the other crops are prolific and the orchard industry in itself has come to be a big factor in adding to the wealth Of the state With such unprecedented plenty in Alabama fall trade in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Mobile and in all the other cities promises we'll"

T. R. SAVES THE CAMP
Tells How Quick Action Stopped Fire
 in African Prairie Grass

From African Game Trails,'' by Theo-
 dore Roosevelt, In the September Scrib- ner.
 On the same night that Heller was visited by the lions he had to fight fire in the main camp. At noon we noticed two fires come toward us, and could soon hear their roaring. The tall, thick grass was like finder, and if we let the fires reach camp we were certain to lose everything we had So Loring, Mearns Kermit and I, who were in camp got out the porters and cut a lane around our
 tents and goods and then started back fire, section after section, from the other
 side of the lane. We kept everyone ready with branches and wet gunny sacks, and
 lit each section in turn, so that we could
 readily beat out the flames at any point where they threatened. The air was still,
 and soon after nightfall our backfire had
 burnt 50 or 100 yards away from camp,
 and the danger was practically over
 Shortly afterward one of the fires against
 which we were guarding came over low hill crest into view, beyond the line of our back fire It was a fine sight to see ~-N-
 advance toward one another, An hour or two passed before they met, half mile from camp. Wherever they came together there would be a moments spurt
 of roaring, cracking fire, and then It would vanish, leaving at that point
 blank in the circle of flame. Gradually the blanks in the lines extended, until
 the first thus burnt itself out, and dark
 ness succeeded the bright red glare. The fires continued to burn in our neigh
 borhood for couple of days. Finally
 one evening the great beds of papyrus | across the bay caught fire. After night fall it was splendid to see the line of flames, leapng 50 feet into the air as they worked across the serried masses | of tall papyrus. When they came toward | the water they kindled the surface of the bay into a ruddy glare, while above them | the crimson smoke clouds drifted slowly
 to leeward The fire did not die out
 until toward morning. and then, behind
 1t, we heard the grand booming chorus of Q party of lions
