COOPER CASE AN ISSUE.
Tennessee Is Holding Statewide Pri-
mary Today.

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. Tennessee
today, is electing a supreme court,
court of civil appeals. chancery and
circuit judge and attorney general and
is nominating four congressional can
didates, successors to L. p Padgett, T.
w. Sims, FINS Garrett and George w.
Gordon.
The overshadowing interest in the
contest, however, centers in the bear
ing of the result on the political for
tunes of Malcolm r. Patterson, twice
governor of Tennessee and candidate
now for a third term. A supreme
court free from the domination of the
executive is the prime issue involved.
This issue grows out of the celebrated
Cooper trial, three of the judges of the
present supreme court having charged
Patterson with attempted coercion in
connection with this case.

READY TO GIVE NAMES.
Senator Gore Prepared to Back Up
His Bribery Charges.

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 4.-When the
special committee appointed by the
house of representatives to investigate
what are known as the McMurray con-
tracts with the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians involving a sale of land
estimated to be worth 100000, 900 con-
vened today, Senator T. P. Gore an
1-ounced he was prepared to give addi-
tlonal details in the charge of attempt
ed bribery, which he made in the Uni
ted STATE senate on June "a Senator
Gore said he was ready to name the
Individual who, Re said, offered him and
member of the house of representa-
tives each $4,000 to. withdraw all orpo-
would be paid for attorneys fees"
This latter sum. he had previously de-
clared, represented 10 per cent OF an
amount which New York syndicate
was prepared to pay for coal and as
phalt lands now belonging to the In
dams. The 10 per cent or $3.0O0,000 was
te be paid in conformity with contracts
made Individually with 10000 Indians.
provided the contracts would receive
the approval of congress.
1t was with the purpose of having
the contracts approved and thus divert
ing the 10 per cent into the hands of
certain attorneys. Senator Gore declar-
ed that the bride was offered him to
have withdrawn any legislation which
would nvali1ate the contracts.
LAS a matter of fact" Senator Gore
said today previous to the opening of
the investigation, the government had
already guaranteed to sell the land for
the Indians without the expense of any
attorney fees, and it would be absurd
for congress to sanction the McMurray
contracss.''
The land involved includes 100000
acres in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations and according to the geological
survey the mineral deposits therein are
worth 100000. ]. F. McMurray, an
attorney of McAlester. Ok, announced
through his counsel that he would con-
tend that the contracts were valid with
cut the sanction of congress and that
he was unaware of any bribery having
Eeen offered in their connection.
1t is the purpose Of the committee ac-
cording to Congressman Charles l.
Burke of South Dakota, the chairman,
to visit various parts of Oklahoma to
secure evidence bearing on Senator
Gore S charges

TARIFF MUST COME DOWN.
Opinion Brough From Europe by Ben.
jamin Ide Wheeler.

New York. Aug 4.-Trusts and the
tariff are the chief perils of the United
States in the opinion of Benjamin Idle
Wheeler, president of the University
of California, who is in New York on
his way back to the Pacific coast from
Germany, where he filled the Roosevelt
lectureship in Berlin university this
year.
People abroad say that the chief
matter for concern about this country
is the way the trusts are increasing"
he declared to his interviewers on his
arrival here. They think that we
cannot control them, that the oppor-
tunities we have given them. especially
through the tariff. have endowed them
with power we cannot overcome.
mo doubt the tariff is the thing we
have got to tackle earnestly and quick
ly. 1t has built up an artificial false
work which some day will have to fail.
and the trouble that day will be very
serious. The tariff has encouraged the
making of money by individuals here

I'm the last few weeks 1 have made
an exhaustive study of the workings
of the anti-liuuor laws, writing letters
to 20 mayors OF the principal Kansas
cities, to district judges throughout the
state, to the chief justice of the SUI
preme court, to police judges and city
narshals, asking them about its oper-
ation. 7 am pleased TO be able to re-
port to you that the prohibitory law is
as well enforced as any other law on
the statute books. That is, it is no
more trouble to punish an offender for
selling liquor than it to punish a
murderer or a hcrSethief. OF course ev-
cry law is broken occasionally but 1t is
no longer cortended that the pronibi-
tory law is different in any respect than
that against any of the crimes whose
punishment is provided for by statute.
1.-THE mayors and business men Of
leading Kansas cities have come to re-
gard the prohibitory Law as beneficial
in a business aspect. The sums that
formerly were wasted for drink each
year now are turned into the regular
channels o. trade, increasing the bulk
Of business instead of being spent with
no good return = the people living in
the state. 1t means that there is more
money for shoes and food for the chill
dren and for better homes for the
wives of Kansas. Looking at it in a
cold-blooded business way the Kansas
merchant has found that the prohibi-
assets. regard the efforts of Kansas
against the liquor traffic as one of the
most important works ever undertaken
by the government of any state, and
] am glad to have been able to take
my own small part in finishing up the
work that was so ably undertaken by
the Christian citizens of Kansas.
Il would like to express to you a
thought / have about the Importance of
good people in politics. When I first
fotxr a
candidate for the legislature one of the
business men of my own town, a mer-
Giant of high standing, advised me
against it. You will have your name
smirched,' he told me. and your repu-
taticn as a citizen will be asSailcd from
every side. You'd better leave it alone!'
None Too Good for Politics.
But, friends, 1 don't believe that
anyone is too good to get into politics.
On the other hand 1 consider it the
absolute duty of every Christian man
and woman to take an active interest
in the public affairs of their city, state
and nation. Good politics is good re-
ligion. think it is the great failing of
the Christian people of the country that
they do not take a more consistent and
energetic interest in the political af-
fairs around them. They have deep
feeling concerning political affairs but
often they neglect to give their feel
ings intelligent expression at the polls.
They ought to be willing to make Il
sacrifice of their powers and time and
spend day at the polls working for
an expression of the right through the
ballot box. The slogan of the Christian
people ought to be Get into politicsP L
thing a preacher should be a poor
partisan but he ought to be a great
patriot.

BREACH GROWS WIDER.
Complete Rupture Between Rome and
Madrid Seems Likely.

Rome, Aug. Mgr. Vico, the papal
nuncio to the Spanish court, was given
instructions from the vatican today TO
be ready to leave Madrid at a mo-
ment's notice in case of an unfavorab bic
issue to the negotiations. This prepara-
ton for a complete rupture of diplo-
matte relations between Spain and the
vatican would indicate that little IS
hoped for from the answer which Car
dinal Merry Del Val is now drafting.
Although the vatican is earnestly
trying its best to avoid complete
break with Spain, Cardinal Merry Del
Val fears that Senior Canalejas, the
Spanish premier, will be forced, in or
der to satisfy his extremist supporters.
to still further accentuate his anti
Catholic policy and the cardinal is pre-
pairing for the worst.
The note which will be submitted to
the papal congregation of extraordinary
affairs. will not be given to the press
here before it's delivery to the Spanish
premier at Madrid, to comply with the
usual courtesies of diplomatic inter-
course.
Demonstration Prohibited.
Madrid, Aug. A renewal and
formal prohibition of the proposed
manifestation of the clerical forces at
San Sebastian, the summer capital,
next Sunday was issued today by the
minister of the interior. The organic
persist in their plans and as the Re-
publican leaders are arranging an
anti-clerical demonstration at San Sc
bastian on the same day, great appre-
hension prevails.
The clerical press publishes today
further articles of extreme violence
against the government. The organ
izers of the anti-governmental dem
onstration have, in circular letters to
the clergy, urged them to incite their
congregations to refuse obedience to
the prohibition of the demonstration.
The civil authorities are considering
prosecutions of the organizers of the
proposed Catholic manifestation and
troops are in readiness to enter the
summer capital at any moment.
Collision in Barcelona.
Barcelona, Spain, Aug. A COLI
sion in which weapons were used took
place on the streets today between the
Carlist adherents of Don Jaime, pre-
tender to the Spanish throne, and Re-
publicans. One of the Republican fac
ton was wounded. The police charged
the fighting crowds and dispersed
them.

NOVEMBER IS A
WET OLD MONTH

The present month promises to be
one Of the wettest Novembers this
section of the state has ever seen. The
precipitation so far is two inches and
more, in excess of the normal for
the month. and there is yet nine days
to come with the prospect that a part
of them will be wet.
The normal rainfall for November
is but 1851 inches, while up to date
there has been a rainfall Of 3,52
inches.
Last November was an exceptional
ly wet one though most of the precip-
itation in the fall of 1909 came in the
shape of snow. The precipitation for
the present month has been practical
ly all rain. Thre was a total precip-
itation Of 35S inches for November
of last year and this record, though
the greatest for many years, will
probably be surpassed before morn
ing.
The wind which has been prevail
ing today has been more like March
or April than November. 1t has been
warm and by keeping hats in the air
or sending them rolling down the
street. has displayed its kinship to the
winds which blow in the spring.
