AFTER RURAL SERVICE.

AFTER RURAL SERVICE.
Salisbury Evening Post.
We are publishing an article
published in the Rural Free De-.
livery News, published in Wash
ington as the national organ of
the Rural Letter Carriers Asso-
ciation which should be read by
every farmer in Rowan county,
as we'll as every man living in the
country in America. The paper is
nonpartisan, and the article
speaks the facts Just as they are
in reference to that all import
ant service now given our citi-
zens living in our rural districts.
1t does not require an intelligent
person to comprehend he i'm
port Oh the intention OF Presl-
dent Tgt and Postmaster Gener
al Hitchcock, but anyone can
plainly see that they intend to
abolish the present splendid ru-
raj system Obtaining in this coun-
try and give the farmers the old
unsatisfactory star-route system
discarded by all governments.
The only reason that this change
has not heen made, is that they
are waiting until after the com
ing election to inaugurate t h e
change. The monstrosity OF this
proposed change on the part Of
our Republican President and
Attorney General, is that t h e
change is based on the iden of
economy. TO our minds this is
-Holhing more or less than a CO.
lossal joke. The idea OF the Re-
publican party and the extrava.
gance of it's billion dollar Con-
gress talking about economy at
the expense OF, the farmer OF this
country! We want every farmer
in this country to know h a t
there are hundreds OF thousads
of dollars appropriated every
year by our Republican Conress,
land the same bills signed by
President Tafl) for the purpose
OF pneumatic letter tubes in the
sky-scrapers of New York, phila
delphia, Boston aud the Other
large cities Of this country, and
then Tor President TAFT and Mr.
Hitchcock to get worried about
the insignificant extra expense o
maintaining the Rural Free De
livery Tor the benefit Of the farm
ers of this country is absurd.

TAFT PROGRAM MEETS WITH
OPPOSITION Of REGULARS

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-Presi-
dent Taft's suggestion. which has the
Endorsement of the tariff board, for
changes in the tariff law schedule by
schedule, already has received a sharp
knock from influential leaders in con.
gress, according to an authority here
which should be of unquestioned merit.
A local newspaper known to be in
close touch with the insurgents" who
want the tariff revised, a schedule at
a time, announced yesterday that no
body in the senate and few in the
house except the little group of I'm
surgent" republicans want the tariff
law attacked in that way. The situa-
ton disclosed is that both republicans
and democrats, at least majority of
them, do not favor this method OF ap-
preaching changes in the tariff law.
The condition is disclosed, it ap-
pears, during the discussion Of the
changes in the rules as proposed by
Senator Cummins of Iowa. The ultra
proteetionist republicans are opposed
to the plan, as was indicated by the
fact that Senator Hale opposed it
when offered. Senator Cummins re-
newed his efforts by filing the neces-
sary notice to the committee on rules.
He will introduce the resolution again
Monday and thus start the fight for
a revision along the new lines pro-
posed The report yesterday was that
expressions by number of promin-
ent democratic senators are antagon-
istic to the Cummins measure. One
of the prominent influential southern
senators said:
Il have heard no democrat speak
in favor of the resolution. | have
heard several speak against it. For
myself, l am opposed to it. object
to singing out and throwing a sort
of mantle of secretiveness about the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. | don't fancy
the idea of putting that statute up on
pedestal and requiring that special
rules shall be made for dealing with
it."
The "insurgent" republicans are not
surprised at discovering that they will
have no support from either regular
republicans or regular democrats. 1t
is expected that the resolution will
be supported by few of the more in

dependent democrats, among whom
Gore and owen of Oklahoma, Cham
berlain of Oregon and Shively of In
diana are mentioned.
Little progress in legislation was
made in congress yesterday. The sen
ate. Immediately after the morning
business, took up bills on the calendar
and passed one, providing an indem
nifty for the heirs of government EN-.
ploys who lost his life on the Panama
railroad. Two important measures in
tended to better the postal service and
carrying the Endorsement of Postmas
ter General Hitchcock were taken up
but consideration of them was put
over on the objections of Senators
Hepburn and Bacon.
In the house virtually the entire day
was occupied in consideration of the
Indian appropriation bills, the first
of the big supply measures to make
its appearance.
The house adjourned until noon to-
day. The senate, in the absence OF
important business, adjourned until
Monday.

EXCITING CHASE FOR NEGRO
WHO STOLE BERGERS PANTS

The Milford-Berger company lost a
hat this morning for while, and had
a lot of excitement in the chase OF
two negro tramps, one of whom Mr.
Berger captured, the other getting out
of town.
The theft was. committed while Mr.
Chouteau was waiting on customers
and was not discovered until after the
tramps had sold five dollar hat to
Dennis Hicks for $500.
Mr.. Berger got Cash Wilkinson, and
the two got busy. John Stone soon
joined the posse, and they got track
of the tramps, who had separated. One
was soon run down and arrested, and
left in charge of Mr. Berger, who is
rather a slight man, while his pris-
oner was a husky six-footer.
Mr.. Berger admits he was uneasy,
but he put on bold front and put his
hand round to the pocket where the
six-shooter ought to be, and the negro
decided to take no chances on there
being one there
The other tramp got away on a
freight train, going south, and word
was sent to Big Cabin by phone to
watch the train and get him if pos.
sible.

TWO MORE CARS
COTTON SHIPPED
Success of Experiment With Cotton
And Broom Corn is Revelation to
Farmers in Craig County.

That Vinita may yet become prom
inent as a cotton market is evidenced
by the shipment of two car loads Of
cotton from misplace today. The cot
ton was grown in the Grand river Sec
tion and hauled here for shipment over
the Katy to the southern markets.
This is the second shipment of cotton
ever made from this city. Until this
fall load of cotton was unheard of
in this city, but the success of the
Grand river farmers with the great
southern staple has opened the eyes of
other farmers to the possibilities of
cotton growing.
Another crop that is new in this
Tsection, and one that has no equal in
profits, where successfully grown, is
broom corn. Two car load shipments
|of broom corn were made over the
Frisco from here this morning. The
price of broom corn varies from $65
TO $3.50 and even higher per ton. In
the northwestern part of the state it
is the principal crop, and yields great
profit to the farmers. IT is known as
the greatest "dry land crop and gives
promise OF being the greatest rival of
king corn''sin Craig county

MRS. SKINNER TO
.'..II GIVE t REL RECEPTION
Preparations Under Way For the Most
Talked of Social Event of the
Season in Vnita.

Vinita society is living in anticipa-
tion of the open house to be given by

full home on South Miller street next
Wednesday afternoon and evening. In
vitations have already been issued for

CAPITAL BILL IS
READY FOR SENATE
Further Than Locating Capital at Ok
Iahoma City, the Senate Bill Does
Not Follow House Bill.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 9.-vThe
capitol bill as agreed upon by Cover
nor Haskell and the senate subcom-
mittee was practically completed last
night and will doubtless be introduced
in the senate today.
Beyond locating the capitol in Ok
lahoma City Immediately the bill does
not follow the measure passed by the
house. The capitol committee is made
the agent for the legislature with pow
er to recommend site before the jan
uary session but not to accept it.
With the bill will be presented a
form of contract which will be drawn
between some one representing the
state and a holding company which
will take over the capitol site when
selected and guarantee to the state
the free location and capitol building.
There is no limit placed on the dis
tance from Oklahoma City. A limit
of three and one-half miles from the
federal building was agreed on by the
senate committee, but Governor Has
kell's strenuous objection prevented
its incorporation in the bill. Such a
limit would have barred the Putnam
site, though it is not believed that
the Putnam proposition has much
chance of success in any event.
Promoters of the Culbertson propo-
sition commenced the organization of
holding company yesterday to take
over the properties composing the pro-
posed northeast location two miles
from the. center of the Oklahoma City
business district Both houses held
short sessions today.
The house adopted resolutions by
Barret, Williams and Miller of Musko-
gee providing for legislative COM
mittee to arrange for Cruces inaug-
uratiop and by Ashby and Whitman
memoralizing congress to create a
national board of arbitration for labor
disputes. Senator Redwine received
an emphatic telegram from the Off
cials and citizens of Mcintosh county
demanding that the legislature select
capitol site within Oklahoma City.
A resolution providing for special
committee to visit the state institu-
tons and recommend appropriations
at the regular session was referred to
a special committee for consideration
of it's constitutionality.

STILL HUNTING

The different heads at Police head
quarters, as well as the men under
High Sheriff Henry, are very much
worked up over an article appearing
yesterday regarding the police depart
ment, in the search ror Grace, the es-
capped murderer.
Deputy Sheriff Rose was very de-
cided in his ideas about the matter
this morning, and speaks of what lie
says is a deliberate falsehood about
the department.
All last night Chief McDufie and
his men We're out securing the valleys
of Palolo and Manoa in an effort to.
find some trace of the missing man,
though their efforts were in vain.
The efforts of the detective depart
ment are devoted to making a tho
rough and exhaustive search for the
man who has so far eluded the police
at every turn. Deputy Rose believes
that no one has seen Grace since the
day of his escape and that the many
relative to people having seen
Grace are untrue!.
