A FRANK ADMISSION.

Representative Chas. E. Little
field of Maine, admit that the
plank in the last in tbe last Re-
publican National platform re-
garding injunctions was put there
to placate the labor leaders and
with % intention of it's being car
rled out. He carries his frankness
to an even greater extent and says
the plank is "perfectly non-com-
initial" and means nothing, being
simply dishonest trick to lure
the unwary working man and de-
lude him with the belief that the
Republican party was his friend.
If the truth was told it would, no
doubt, reveal that the tariff revi-
sion plank was another dishonest
plank, never intended ..of fulfill
ment, and that the whole platform
was a tissue of falsehood and false
pretense.
SECRET PUBLICITY.
The bill providing for campaign
expenditures and contributions
passed at the last session and sign-
ed by President Taft is not what
the people have for years been de-
mandipg.
The house provided for publicity
before election. but the Senate re-
fused to pass such measure and
as a result of a conference public
lty will not be made until after
elections have taken place.
What the use of publicity after
an election, when what has been
| done cannot be undone?
Publicity before an election
would seem to be the only kind of
publicity worth anything for then
the voters would be given timely
notice as to which party and can
didates were Of, by and for the
trusts and which we're of, by and
for the people.
GORE WAS HONEST.
The recent attempt to corrupt
Senator Tom Gore, Of Oklahoma,
was accompanied by features most
distressing to the blind statesman.
| Gore has felt the stings of poverty
in it's bitterest forms. Even now
he has nothing but his salary.
The persons who he said offered
him $25 900 to change his position
on the Indian legislation was a
personal friend of long standing.
This man knew Gore had often
suffered from sheer want. But
Gore was not for sale

CHOCTAW CHIEF TESTIFIES.
Offered One Fourth Profits Of Deal if he
Would Remove Opposition Of Tribe.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 6.-Not
only Jake L. Hamon but J. F.
McMurray was named as would
be briber in the investigation of
the $500 900 Oklahoma Indian
land deal before the special con-
gressional committee to-day.
Mr.. McMurray is the holder of
the contracts with the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians, to pro-
mote which in Congress, Senator
Thomas P. Gore charged he was
was offered bribe.
D. G. McCurtain, a Choctaw
Indian and a delegate to Wash
ington for his territory, charged
that McMurray in 1905 offered
him bribe of $25, 200 to with
draw opposition to the old tribal
McMurray contracts, which subse-
quently were disapproved by Pres
ident Roosevelt
Green McCurtain, chief of 49,
600 Choctaws and a venerable In
dian of 81 years, then took the
stand and told the committee that
one George W. Scott, whom he
believed acted in the interest of
McMurray, had offered him one
fourth of the "profits'' to be rea.
lized from the land deal, provided
he induced the tribe to withdraw
all opposition to the deal. This
offer referred to new contracts
held by McMurray, which are the
cause of the investigation.
The amount of the bribe mem
toned by D. G. McCurtaln, who
is son of the chief, is the same
as that which Senator Gore alleges
was offered him on May 6 last by
Jake Hamon to put through the
pending contracts which, accord
ing to Senator Gore, would result
in the selling of 100000 acres of
coal, asphalt and timber lands,
owned by the Indians to a New
York syndicate on a basis that
would give McMurray and his as
sociates an "attorney's fee" of 10
per cent or So, 900, GOO. !
The presentation of the charges
against McMurray followed anoth.
day of sensational testimony dur.
ing which Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas and Congressman B. S.
Mcclure Of Oklahoma appeared
on the stand to refute statements
that they were "interested" in
the deal.
The name of Vice President Sher-
man again was mentioned and
conferences, held by President
Taft over the McMurray contracts,
we're referred to.
Both President Taft and Vice
President Sherman, according to
Senator Curtis: had declared that
the 10 per cent. attorneys fee ask
ed for was excessive. The opinion
was unanimous at the Presidents
conference, he said, that in the
sale of the land no attorneys as
sistance was needed and the gov
ernment by treaty already had
stipulated to sell the land on it's
own responsibility.

HOW TO MAKE GRAPE JUICE.
Any Housekeeper can Prepare This De-
Iicious and'HeaIthfui Drink.

Writing in the Progressive
Farmer, A. M. Lantham says:
"There is no kind of fruit juice
that is so easily and cheaply made
as that from we'll matured grapes.
If the best quality of juice ia to be
made, the grapes must be of a
good quality and we'll ripened.
They should be clean and sound.
If one has hand cider mill aud
press to use in the work, 80 smuch
the better, but the cutting and
pressing can be done by hand. If
light colored juice is desired. put
the crushed grapes in a cleanly
washed cloth, and when folded
in, with an assistant, proceed to
twist each end until the greater
part of the juice is forced out.
"The juice should then be
placed in stone jar and slowly
heated to a temperature of not
less than 1870 and not more than
200 degrees. This jar should be
set in a dishpan of water before
heating, in order to prevent the
scorching of the juice. Hold to
the above heat about ten minutes
but do not allow it to come to
boil. This done, pour it into q
glass or enameled vessel and let
it settle for "a hours; then care
fully drain the clear juice from
the sediment and run it through q
flannel filter, 1t is now ready
for bottling, but be sure that the
bottles are thoroughly sterilized
before filling. Common glass
fruit jars would do in the absence
of bottles. Do not fill quite full
as room must be allowed for the
second heatings expansion. Fit
thin board in the bottom of
common wash boiler, set the filled
bottles on this, fill boiler with
water to nearly the height of juice
in the bottles and heat again ss
above, not allowing it to come to
a boil. Then take the bottles out
and seal or cork tightly immedia-
tely. 1t is a good idss tv .asc
the precaution of sealiL,.~tfae
corks over with parafn or sealing
wax to prevent the germs of mold
from entering through the cork.
"Should red juice be desired,
crush and heat the fruit, then
drain instead of pressing, and
proceed as with the white juice.
With the white we pressed out
the juice before heating The
bottles should now be set away
in cool place, and in an upright
position and if the work has been
properly done, this unfermented
juice will keep for an indefinite
period.
''The uses of grape juice are
many. Until recently 1T has
been restricted to medicinal or
sacram entail purposes, through
lack of knowledge of the princi-
Piles underlying it's manufacture
The housewife who can make
success of her fruit canning can
also make success of furnishing
| to her family this product of the
grape in a perfect and fresh state.
It is food and drink. refreshment
and nourishment, all in one."
