at I0e utuldl Hdue ny NlCe-EI resi-
dent Sherman of the charges made
1 by the Oklahoma senator before the
congressional committee which is in
vestigating alleged attempted brib-
cry in connection with the McMur-
ray Indian contracts.
such denials" said Gore today,
"as those of Sherman and Senator
Curtis are to be expected"
Jacob L. Hamon, whose name was
brought into the story yesterday
when Gore appeared before the in
vestigating committee and told his
story of the attempt, he said was
made to bribe him to vote for bills
validating the contracts certain
syndicate had made with the In
dians, has asked to be allowed to
appear before the committee.
"I think I can square myself"
said Hamon as he asked to be sum-
moned.
The committee resumed its ses-
sions again today.
The allegations of bribery in con-
nection with the Indian contracts
were first made on the floor of the
senate by Senator Gore near the
close Of the last session Of congress.
The charge was made in connection
with legislation then before the SEN
ate which gave certain officers Of the
government power to validate con-
tracts with Indians in selling lands.
Under the present system the con-
tracts are validated by the govern
ment after recom1hendation b> the
committee of Indian affairs. The
bin introduced in the senate pro.
posed to make contracts in the man
ner in which contracts could be 'ap-
proved so that, it is declared, friends
of those holding contracts could
have them approved.
Rich Mineral Land Involved.
It was to withdraw his opposition
to this bill, Senator Gore said, that
The contracts which it is alleged
by Gore were affected by the bill
were those in which J. G. McMur'
ray was said to be interested. 1t
was said that McMurray, represent
ing a syndicate, had purchased 450.-
600 acres of lands in the Chickasaw
and Choctaw nations in Oklahoma.
The lands are rich in mineral de-
posits. The purchase price is said
to have been $3O,0OO,OOO of which
10 per cent was to go to McMurray
and the Others interested in the deal
This was held excessive by Gore,
especially in the light of the fact
that the government guaranteed to
sell the lands for the Indians with
out cost to them.
AS the charge was made in the
senate, Gore alleged that the men in
terested in the matter were a syn
dicate of attorneys. 1t was also in
timated that the deal was being
made in the interest of another syn
dicate. At the time the charge was
made, Gore said, another senator, 4
former senator, an Oklahoma con
gresham and others were involved.
The names of all those interested
were not mentioned until Senator
Gore appeared on the witness stand
here. His charge that Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman was involved in the
deal is based on an alleged state
ment made by Hamon in the Office
of Senator Gore in Washington. Ha-
mon, he said had stated that Sher-
man was interested in the deal but
did not say in what way
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, ac-
cused of having been interested in
the contracts, and who denied the
has part Indian blood.

LII IilS tftiiiho VI poi Shlo, poA
ticularly those living in the rural
districts, the above question, like
Banquo's ghost, will not down.
They want more training for
their children than the training
of the eighth grade, but the only
course open to them is to send
their boys and girls away to the
high school. With the high
school, as now organized, they
are not satisfied.
First, because the high school
prepares for college and not for
making a living, With most peo-
pie the absorbing question is the
bread and butter question. A
few NAV retire, but the mass
must toll on. They know that at
no time in the high school course
are their boys and girls much
better prepared to earn their
bread than is the common labor
er with whom they must COM
pete, and at the end of the course
they are not really fitted for any,
thing except to enter college.
Secondly, because there being
few or no electives offered, all
must take the course as prescrib-
ed or withdraw. All must be
ground through the same mill, it
matters not what they expect to
be or do through life. Whether
fitted by nature to do-a certain
kind of work does not enter into
the question at all.
Thirdly. because training in
the high school more often turns
the boys and girls away from,
rather than back to life in the
open country. Too often after
four years away from home, spent
in the atmosphere of the high
school, the boys and girls feel
themselves too good to enter in
dustrial life, too proud to do
manual labor any more. The
glare of the city and a small
clerkship are more attractive.
Sad indeed is the plight of any
nation whose people come to look
upon industrial life as degrading.
About five per cent of the peo-
pie are in the learned professions,
while ninety-fve are in industrial
pursuits and always must be.
The professional man needs the
training of the high school, col
lege and professional school, and
it is provided for him. The man
in industrial life needs it. too,
but cannot always get it. I'm
fortunately millions can not de-
fer their technical training until
after they have had high school
training.
Our system of education. par
ticularly secondary, has been
maintained almost wholly for the
benefit of the five per cent who

while little or nothing has been
done for the. ninety-tive upon
whom h 6 nation depends!
Whether or not the ninety-five
per cent are more important than
the five per cent, they are az
least many times greater. If
many times greater, then it is
certainly not unjust to claim at
least equal chances for prepare
ton,
Under the present minute di-
vision of labor, and in the alb
sence of the apprenticeship about
the only PLACE where boy of
high school grade can learn a
complete trade is in the reform
school or the penitentiary.
Isn't it high time the high
school cease preparing for college
and begin preparing for life?
This article is not meant as an
attack upon the high school, but
rather to reflect the feelings of
parents living in rural commune
ties who wish further training
for their children than that of
the eighth grade.
In the State of Colorado are
more than fifteen hundred dis
tricts filled with just enough such
people with just such feelings.
Don't you think the state owes
some debt to these people? Don't
they pay their share of taxes lev
led to maintain an educational
system? Should they not be pro-
vided for?
1t was to meet the needs of
just such people that the State
Board of Agriculture, of Colorado,
last year, established, in connec-
ton with the Agricultural Col
lege, the School of Agriculture,
which provides for those who
have finished the eighth grade
three years training of six
months each in Agricultural and
Domestic Science.
1t is the hope of the manage
ment that very soon the work
may be extended to include a
very strong course in the Me-
chanic Arts for the boys who
have a mechanical bent of mind
and do not care for agriculture.
An attendance of two hundred
and thirteen the first year shows
conclusively that the School of
Agriculture answers a long felt
want in the State of Colorado.
An attendance of four hundred
is expected for the coming ses-
sion which begins October 18th
and closes March 31st.
If you are Interested or know
of some one who should be, kind
ly write for free catalogue to 7.
