ADDRESS 10 THE SONS OF VETERANS Commander Thos. Green, Sr., Urges Them to Or
 ganize Here.
TO VINDICATE CAUSE
Of the Old SOuth-Cites Commission Left By General stephen
 D. Lee.

At a recent meeting of J. Ed Mur- ray Camp, No. 510, U c. ", the sub ject of the reorganization of the Sons of Veterans of this place was discuss ed, and motion unanimously adopt l ed authorizing the members of this camp to make lists of the young men of their acquaintance whom they know to be eligible to membership, and forward same to the Commander, P o. Box No. 174, and authorizing him to write each one personally, urging them to attend the call-meet- ing of the J. Ed Murray Camp. Only few have responded, and I write to urge that you attend to this matter at once, thus arousing an interest which is absolutely indispensable to the success of this important move ment
 It is astonishing to see the degree of patriotic enthusiasm which is man. ifested among the young men, Sons of Veterans, in some localities, when contrasted with the seeming indiffer ence of those who at one time consti- tuted the membership of the J. Sel- don Roane Camp, Sons of Veterans, of Pine Bluff.
 The time is rapidly approaching when the Old Soldier will have pass ed to his reward, but his achieve ments, his fame and his acts of hero- ism will last throughout the ages; and it therefore devolves on their patriotic Sons, in the fullness of their young manhood, to honor their memories.
 Our beloved and lamented late Commander Stephen D. Lee left the following commission to the Sons of Veterans, as an organizations and it should appeal to the manhood and self-respect of every young man, whose father was a fractional part Of the grandest army the world ever knew: ITO you, Sons of Confeder- ate Veterans, we will submit the vim dication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confeder- ate Soldiers good name, the guard ianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved, and which made him glorious and which you also cherish"
 Now as Commander of J. Ed Mur- ray Camp, and as the Son of Vet eran myself, I appeal to every former member of J. Seldon Roane Camp and to every Son of a Veteran, to assemble at the court house on Sat urday, April ?, promptly at 7:30 p. m. for the purpose of reorganizing the local sons, electing officers and del egates and attending to any other business which may come up for con- sideration, in order that we may have representation at the Mobile re- union April 26, 27 and 2S, and by our presence at Mobile, honor the tatter- ed old banners which will be in evil dence there, and about which Father Ryan, the gifted poet-laureate of the South, wrote the famous poem, one verse of which I copy:
 For though conquered, the adore Love the cold dead hands that bore Weep for those who fell before it! Pardon those who trailed and tore
 it."
 Come and bring your friends.
 Yours for the cause we love,
 THOMAS GREEN, SIR.

BOTH WILLING

Marcus A. Smith of Tucson and H. L. Pickett of Tombstone have deh- nitely announced their candidacy for United States senator from Arizona. according to statements accredited them in Los Angeles. where both are at preesnt. That one. or probably both. would make the race on the democratic ticket, has been generally conceded to be more than likely. though neitherhas been quoted pre- viously in a public utterance to that effect.
 In admitting his candidacy in Los Angeles. Smith is quoted as saying:
 T have long campaign ahead of me. but feel sanguine of success. ''
 As for Pickett, he believes he is going to the senate. too. for. as he says: T am a Jacksonian democrat I believe that every officer. from con stable to the United States senator, should be nominated by the direct primary method. So far as am concerned, I do not want to go to the senate except as the choice of a majority of my party. and I think am going there. too"

DOUGLAS, Aug 4-(Speciai.)-
 -Four Douglas democrats have ar nouneed their candidacy for delegate to the constitutional convention. They are J. s. Douglas. Mayor II. J. Wright. R. B. Sims and Hon. B. A.

MT. Conley is popular with the railroad and smelter men and highly regarded by all who know him.
 J. s. Douglas was for years em- ployed in the office of the Copper Queen at Bisbee in the early days. Leaving the office he was placed in charge of what is known as the Copper Queen ranch. twelve miles north of Douglas, where he attempt ed to put large tract of land into successful cultivation. Afterwards he was in charge of the Commercial Mining company in Ysyapai county and after that went to Nacozari, where he had charge Of all the |Phelps-Dodge interests in Mexico. un- til he left the company and removed his home to Douglas. so that he might look after his personal inter- ests, which are varied and extensive.

charges relative to the McMurray con tracts. They cite the facts that the Indian Rights Association and the Catholic Indians Miss on association have both openly fought the contracts. and they cite further the fact that Senator Gore last April secured pas sage of his resolution calling upon F-es dent Taft and Secretary Ealing eT for all correspondence between them and J. F. MeMurray: also the correspondence following the Pres,- dents disapproval of the contracts two years ago. The action of Chief McCuc- tain Of the ChOctaws last July in op- posing the McMurray contracts be- cause they would not net the lawyer several million dollars, is also given as proof in Senator Cores favor. and the statement of United States Sen
 ator Owen of Oklahoma that If the
 coal lands brought only S5.O00 900
 McMurray could sit at home and draw his comm ssion." It is shown also that the entire Oklahoma delegation in Con gress has been consistent in its fight against the McMurray contracts.

ALAMOGORDO. N. NJ, Aug. 4.-Po- htical excitement has been running high here since Judge A. B. Fall. in a letter to the Otero county newspa- Ders, openly charged Delegate w. H. Andrews with an attempt to use money in otero county for the pur- pose Of bringing about the defeat of the man from Three Rivers.
 It has been generally known for several days that an offer of s1O0O was made to a leading republican if he could bring about the defeat of Fall. who was understood to be a candidate for place in the constitu- tionsl convention The long distance telephone was unsed in making the offer. and the man on the other end of the line was in Albuquerque. The same offer was made to others Ii Is rumored that at least two men made such offers to a number of Otero county republicans and for several days a number of names of promin- ent Bernalillo county men have been used in connection with the attempt at political corruption
 Falls direct charge against the del egate fin congress has convinced a majority of the people Of the county of the truth of the charges. but there Is some difference of opinion as to the main man in the deal Report has 1t that one man mode the first of- fer and that his lieutenant made the several subsequent offers reported 10 have been made.
 Judge Fall. in making his sensa- tional charges. says. speaking of Am drews:
 His action in this matter Is on c par with his offer to republicans of otero county to pay them zaoney if they would defeat my nomination as one of the delegates to the constitu- tional convention: 1t was on a par with the letter which he wrote when called to task by one of his former constituents for his cowardly action n which he denies ever having made

INDIAN GRAFT
 PROBE BEGINS
 AT MUSKOGEE
House Committee Named to Look into Senator Cores Charges Meets Yesterday to Hear the Testimony,

MUSKOGEE OKLA. Aug. f:-The Honse committee to investigate Sena- tor Cores charges relating to the Me Murray Indian contracts met in the Unitsd States court house here today to begin the taking of testimony. The comm ftee consists of Representative Charles E. Burke Of South Dakota. chairman; John H. Stephens Of Tex as. Phillip P Campbell of Kansas. Clarence E. Miller of Minnesota and W. Saunders of Virginia.
 Senator Gore will probably be the first witness called to the stand. Up on the nature of his testimony will de- pend the list of witnesses to be sum moled by the comm Itee. Among the witnesses will probably be J F. Nc Murray. Royn Hammond, of Iawton. Senator Curtis of Kansas. former sen ators Thurston Of Nebraska and Long of Kansas. Representative Gre ager and Mcclure of Oklahoma. Col. CecI. A. Lyon of Texas and vari- ous officials of the Indian office and of the tribes affected by the investi- gation
 The charges Of Senator Gore alleg- ing fraud and attempted bribery in the Oklahoma Indian land deals were made on the floor of the senate in the closing days of the last session and created widespread sensation. The Oklahoma senator declared that an attempt at bribery has been made by J. F. McMurray. an attorney at McAlester, and well known in Wash ington. For many years McMurray has been connected with the Choctaw and Chsckasaw Indian litigation and leg islation. Five years ago his law firm came into prominence when their fee of s750,O00 for services rendered the Indian tribes was allowed and paid.
 The original contract between Mo Murray and the Indians made in 1905 and Col. Cecil Lyon. the Republican leader in Texas, was said to have been associated with McMurray and others in the deal Only recently it develop ed. it is said. through documents, issued from the Interior Department that former Senator Long of Kansas was also associated with McMurray as attorney. As a consequence of these revelations it is expected that both Col. Lyon and former Senator Long VII be summoned to testify be fore the investigating committee as to their knowledge of the Indian land deals.
 In some quarters the charge is made that politics Is behind Senator Cores expose. It is hinted that the action of Senator Gore in bringing the charg- es at this time is really a part of the Oklahoma Democrats programme to defeat the sale of the surface of the segregated coal and asphalt lands.
 The friends of Senator Gore. on the other hand. assert that he is per. fectly sincere in his action and that he will be able to make good on his

WHY TRADE GOES FROM HOME

We have before us a p. c. from n
mail order house, which reads as
follows:
"We wish to employ an adyertis-
ing manager in your locality to dis
tribute our circulars, catalogues.
etc. Your name having been given
us as Il suitable person, we write to
inquire If you are at liberty to con-
slider an offer of $50 per month and
expenses, subject to certain reason
able requirements which will be cN-
planned upon hearing from you. If
you cannot give your entire time,
we can offer You SO for distributing,
etc, which can be done In spare
hours. y " No previous experience
required
These mail order houses are will
ing to spend money aud lots of it in
advertising, for agents to distribute
their circulars, etc, in order to
draw trndc from local merchants.
Much of the trade and money that
should be kept at home must go to
these houses, else they would not
incur the expense they do to secure
them. Look over the local papers
and see how much effort the mer-
chants of this place are making to
keep this trade and money at home.
They could retain much of 1t by n
little judicious advertising in their
home papers, setting forth the adj
vantages Of buying from the local
merchants and the common inter
ests that exists between the people
Of all callings and classes of bust
ness in n community. They could
help their own business and their
home papers too by such policy of
sclf-protection. The home paper is
expected to stand up for local inter
ests, to push every public enter
prise, 10 write up its schools, the
towns advantages and its desira-
bility as n place of residence, to APP
peal to the local pride of it's people,
etc, and yet all the merchants. the
manufacturers, the schools, etc, of
Pennington do not spend with its
two newspapers in advertising and
otherwise enough to pay the run
ming expenses of single one of
them; while the mail order houses
are advertising continually in one
way or another, even paying the
natural patrons of our local mer-
chants to distribute their advertis-
ing matter, and taking away trade
that proderly belongs to our home
people.

BAND REORGANIZATION.

The Pennington Band has re-
organized and Prof. Karl Goebel il
here for the purpose of instructing
1t. One trouble in keeping up
band here Is that some of the mem
bers have no permanent employment,
and when they find employment
elsewhere their going away breaks
up to that extent the players. The
leaders of the band purpose getting
as large n membership as possible,
so that when one or more may have
to leave it will not interfere with
its efficiency. Pennington ought to
have n good band, and our people
should encourage the boys in their
endeavor.

A WARNING

Automobilists ought not to be SO
intent on getting there as to over
look the safety of pedestrians on our
streets. No one has been run down
yet in our town, but there have been
some close calls. On Tuesday a
man was crossing the street diagOn-
ally between the Post Office and
Cole d Nixon's, with his back natur-
ally towards the east, when an auto
mobile, without II "honk" or any
warning whatever, shot past him at
an apparent speed greater than the
legal limit, almost brushing his
clothes. The automobilists who are
careful and considerate of the safety
of others have to bear the prejudice
which reckless "joy riders" create
against automobiling. Don't be in
too great hurry in driving on the
streets and sound your whistle or
horn before getting to street cross
ing or turning a corner. The pedes-
trian has some rights and legal
guarantee of safety that even "joy
riders" ought to be made to respect.
