The Oklahoma Infamy.

When the investigation of the Nc Murray contracts was set on foot 1t was the purpose of Senator Gore to have brought out. the governments mismanagement of Indian affairs and the corrupt connection of high re- publican officials with the contracts That the government has been negli- gent of the welfare of its wards has been amply shown; that if it's duty had been performed these outrageous contracts would have had no exist ence.
 But there has been a total failure to show any participation in the outrage by the men whose names the blind senator dragged into the case. Further. it has been proved to the expressed satisfaction of MT. Gore himself that they were opposed to the contracts.
 But another thing Which must have been unexpected by MT. Gore has been developed. The wholesale robbery of

Indian children-not by the govern ment and its officials, but by land sharks aided and abetted by the pro- bate courts of Oklahoma. Senator Gore might have objected to evidence leading to this disclosure on the ground that it was irrelevant, having no bearing upon the charge that the Indians were being sinned against in Washington.
 The McMurray contracts, bad as they are, are almost righteous in com parison with the frauds which are practiced upon the helpless orphan children of the Indians under the sanction of the probate courts, which are supposed to exist for the protec- ton of the widow and the orphan
 This infamy, according to the evil dence taken by the Investigating com mittee was not found in a single court, but extended throughout the courts of the Indian country.
 It is strange that this thing should be in the state of Oklahoma, where to such a degree; where reform is rampant, and where there is con- stitution. written to pave the way for the millennium.

To the Farmers of Maricopa
 County.

Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft, two of the wisest patriots of our time. are agreed that the real issue" which is shortly to confront the Am erican people is the necessity of de- ciding between the American form of government ana socialism.
 Indeed. it would be strange if these two great men were not in accord on this point, for their opinion is the opinion of every thoughtful ob- server.
 The socialists are making greater headway in misleading the people of this country than is generally SUD- posed. The enormous increase in the socialist vote, disturbing as it is to every lover of American institutions, by no means measures the strength of the socialist movement
 Men are slow to affix upon them selves new party labels, and it is only after they have accepted poison ous doctrines and have attempted to put thim into force within the party with which they have been affiliated that they bring themselves openly to alliance with a new party.
 This process of mental evolution is well understood by the socialist agi- tators, and they are quite content that for the time being, their doc trines shall be put forth as a part of the democratic" or the "republi- can" creed. Like Kipling's crocodile lying patiently in the river ford for its prey. the socialists know that the waited-for victim will be theirs in time.
 The socialists have devised three schemes for breaking down the Am erican system of government prelim- mary to the coming of that day on which all property shall be re- distributed. These three schemes are the initiative" the referendum" and the recall"
 They can make no practical pro- gress in breaking down the Ameri- | can system of government until these | schemes are adopted.
 Standing between them and their goal of common ownership of prop erty is the constitutional government | The shrewd socialist leaders know that to suggest openly the abolition of con- stitutional government would be too revolutionary to be popular.
 Therefore. their plan is to pretend to cling to the constitutional form, but to so "gut" it that nothing but the shell remains-a shell which will collapse and crumble into dust in due course.
 To put into force the initiative" the referendum" and recall" is to destroy constitutional government.
 With these 'isms" in force, "con- stitution" becomes a mere figment.
 If into the constitution of the pro- posed state of Arizona these 'isms" should be written-and that constitu- tion should be approved by the presi- dent and the congress-which fortu- nateIy is not at all likely-constitu- tional protection in Arizona would be purely imaginary. The constitution having provided

WASHINGTON.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered the proposed increase in
the freight rates on lumber and forest
products generally, from the Pacific
northwest to points of Eastern desti-
nation, suspended until February g.,
1911. The proposed advances were to
become effective October 16. The COM
mission will inquire into their reason
ableness. Several million dollars a
year in freight rates are involved in
the proceeding. The lumber manufac-
turers of the Pacific northwest con-
tend they cannot pay the proposed ad-
vance and that it will mean ruin to
them If it is put into effect. The case
is one of immense Importance to the
north Pacific lumber manufacturers,
particularly to those in the William
ette valley district. The immediate
case is directed against the Southern
Pacific company, the Corralis & East
ern Railroad Company and the indie
pendence e Monmouth Railroad Com
pany, on behalf of which the tariffs
have been filed. All of the northwest
ern lines eventually will be drawn into
the case.

Judge Scott Will Decide Whether
Henrico Magistrate Is In
nocent or Guilty.

This morning at 10 o'clock Judg,
Il. Garter Scott. of the Henrico caunt,
circuit Court. VIII hand down his deci
sion in the case of the Commonwealth
against Magistrate james T. Lewis, ir
which the officer was charged with
malfeasance in office. The case was
brought TO trial February Is, and oc-
cupied three court days. Judge Scott
then announced that he would not
make known his decision until TODAY.
Many witnesses We're examined on
both sides. a great deal of the testi-
mony being contradictory. Magistrate
Lewis seems confident that he Will be
cXonerated Of the charges. while Dep
uty Sheriff Traylor and Constable
Burch, who were the prime movers
against him, are equally sure that they
will obtain a decision, and that the
magistrate will be removed from office.
In his argument of the case, Com
monwealths Attorney julien Gum in
timated strongly that, If found guilty
of malfeasance, he would Immediately
bring criminal charges against Lewis.
At that time he read a SECTION of the
priation of funds shall be considered
embezzlement. and this will probably
be the charge to. go. before the next

Much interest is being taken In the
case through the county, as Magistrate
Lewis is one of the best known Off
GERS In Henrico. and has for the last
fifteen years done the bulk of the bus-
ness. This Is the first time that any
charges have been made against him.
On the last day of the trial he produced
u number OF witnesses, for the most
part attorneys who have been asso-
ciated with him in practice or who
have been connected with cases over
which he presided. They spoke in the
highest terms of his ability and in
tegrity, both az lawyer and a justice
of tho peace
On the other rand, many testified
nat he had been irregular in his ac-
counts and generally unfit to hold the
office. In hearing tho case. Judge
Srott took man. notes and asked a
number of questions. He has before
him also all the references submitted
by counsel on each side.

On Wednesday he was taken with
chill, and for two or three days suf-
Tered with a severe cold. Last night
his physician stated that pneumonia

tie spot was small one.
Martins illness Will spoil Virginia's
chances to bring back the point trophy
from the Georgetown meet. With Stan

hope of landing the cup. Twice be-
fore this winter the Virginia team

BY ROANOKE CLUB
List of Men From Which High
landers Will Be Selected
Complete.

Roanoke, Va. February 27.-Roanoke
fans have been keenly Interested to
know exactly what players will be
here when the practice season begins.
The Times presents a list OF men who
81 as follows:
Catchers-Schmidt, Fisher ana Far
rell.
Pitchers-Andrada Touchstone, Fer
rell. Pritchard. Reynolds and Wills.
nfielders-Doyle. Newton. Presley
Short. Painter and probably others.
uttielders-Powell, Holland, Ton
Robertson and Shaugtnessy.
Reynolds is the man from Nortl
Carolina. He is not the famous Jess
but he is said to be good man. He
has played with independent clubs and
has fine record.
Catcher Farrell is from Cincinnati
He belongs to the Saturday evening
League of that city. and is said to be
a player of great talent. He belonged
to Roanoke last year, but he preferred
not to leave Cincinnati. Mr.. Elmore d.
Hines. of the Roanoke Association.
called on Farrell in Cincinnati several
days ago, and letter received from
him leads to local management to be-
lieve he will be here when work be-
gins. He would make a good man.
He is said to be the best catcher in
the Saturday Evening League, and he
has been highly spoken of by Joe No
Ian, sporting editor of the Inquirer.
and by Charles Doom. manager OF the
Philadelphia Nationals. The Saturday
evening League has turned out some
great players. HEM and Ryan came
from that organization, and other we'll
known baseball men have had their
training there.
VIII Oppose Schedule.
The Norfolk schedule a copy OF
which has been submitted to the Roa.
nolte management. is not regarded
here as being at all satisfactory, and
it may be taken for granted that Roa-
noke will not consent to its adoption.
In the first place, 1t places Roanoke's
Fourth of July game in Richmond.
Since the league was organized Roa-
noke and Lynchburg have played on
this holiday Without the Fourth OF
July game between Lynchburg and
Roanoke the season would be lacking
in interest TO fans here. Last year
over 1,400 people went from this city
to Lynchburg to see the game on tho
Fourth, and over 10000 witnessed the
morning and afternoon contests Tho
Norfolk schedule also provides for a
game between Roanoke and Lynchburg
on Labor Day, September 5, in the
morning in Roanoke and in the after
noon in Lynchburg, an arrangement re-
garded here as being altogether UNI
reasonable. Danville would play in
Lynchburg on July A. and the spirit OF
rivalry between these teams is nothing
as compared with the rivalry between
Lynchburg and Roanoke, although the
two clubs get along famously together
and are great friends in spite of the
hard fight between them,
The Norfolk schedule makes Roanoke
play away from home in both the open
Ing and closing series, which would be
regarded as exceedingly Objectionable
Roanoke is given sixty-one games at
home. Norfolk siNty-four games at
home, with fourteen Saturday games;
Portsmouth siNty-two games at home,
with eight Saturday games.
The management here is convinced
that this schedule would he hurtful to
the league, and will stoutly oppose its
adoption.
