NOT GUILTY

In speaking of the judgeshiI
Saturday, we said that "He IRE
ferrihg to Mr.. Horsey) may not
weigh as much as his opponent,
but avoirdupois is not a true
measure of ability"
That sentence seems to have
reused the editor of the Free Press
and he slung this gem at us in
Monda's issue: "Out of the
depth and abst-usness of his own
profundity the editor of the
Independent evolved" the sentence
first above quoted. now, isn't that
last quoted sentence a peach?
"Out of the depths and abstrusness
of his own profundity. "Just let that
soak in a while and see if you can
understand it without the aid of a
dictionary. We throw up our hands
and plead guilty.
Now to calm the Free Press
man we will simply say that we
were having a little fun with the
argument of the Wells Herald on
the judgeship fight. In its last
issue the Herald said: "Mr. Taber
is large man. vigorous in both
body and mind" etc. While that
it is doubtless true Of MIR. Taber,
it is also true that Mr.. Horsey is a
smaller man. Whether it was tout
of the abstrusness of our pro-
fundity.' or not, we could not resist
the temptation to reply to the
Herald's argument as we did.
This is no apology to Mr.. Taber
for what the Free Press thinks is
a lack of courtesy toward him, for
we are not the one to apologize.
1t is those who make such argu-
ments in his favor Who should
apologize not the one who answers
them.

FILES SUIT AGAINST
LAWLER FOR DAMAGES

Washington, d. c.. May 2S.-Chris-
topher P. Connolly "a lawyer of Mon
tana and New York and well known
writer for the magazines, has filed suit
in the supreme court OF the District of
Columbia to recover $4,000 damages
for alleged slander from Oscar Law
Ter, assistant attorney general for the
interior department.
The suit is the first of the theat-
ened legal proceedings growing out
of the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry, II
was rumored around the court yester.
day that Secretary Ballinger was pre-
pared to invoke the law against some
of his alleged traducers.
The basis of the action is the testi-
mony alleged to have been given by
Mr.. Lawler May II, before the Bal
linger-Pinchot committee, wherein Mr.
Lawler is alleged to have referred to
Mr.. Connolly and others as :despis-
able scoundrels who would stoop to
any depths of degradation" He is
further alleged to have testified that
"a man named Connolly stood on the
deck of the steamship Republic just
before she went down and trampled
down women and children in an at
tempt to get to the life boat"
When asked to identify the Con
molly referred to. it is alleged, Mr.
Lawler said, HE is an employ Of
Golfers Weekly and is a tall slender
man with a short gray moustache.
This, Mr.. Connolly says. describes
him.

Concrete fence posts have been test

economical and more substantial than
wooden posts. A bulletin has just

agriculture showing the different ways
concrete may be utilized on the farm
and particularly describing the method
of making concrete posts. The bulle-
tin was prepared by 4. W. Page, di-

In the first cost. the bulletin says,
concrete posts may be more or less
expensive than the best wooden posts
according to the locality. But after

Hundreds of Children Haze Day of Their Liues
Through the Work of Civic Club---Afair is
Celebration of Institution of Elks Lodge
Financed BY B. p. O. E.--Late Train
Caused Delay in Parade Town is in
Gala Day Attire for the Event.

IL so happened that the children have
had one OF the greatest days OF their
lives.
The weather cleared up last night,
and perfect day for the picnic dawn
led. The Parsons band arrived on the
belated flyer and then the parade be-
gan. The parade was short as 1t was
thought best to only extend the pa
rade to the business district. After
the parade the children again assembl-
ed at the Auditorium and thoroughly
enjoyed the delicious lunch served
them by the Civic Club. Fruit, ice
cream cones and lemonade were there
in abundance.
The afternoon was spent In seeing
| the moving picture show, playing
games and general enjoyment
Many of the ladies of the town came
down, with their buggies and carriages
| In the Elk colors. The stores and
other business houses decorated their
fronts WITH bunting and purple and
white. This with the colors worn by
the children and the purple and white
caps of the Elks gave the town gala
day appearance. In all the day has
certainly been good one for the
whole town.

Proving to the children of Vinita, at
least that they are the Best People
on Earth, the local order of Elks
through the Civic Club gave a picnic
and celebration for the children of the
town that was all that had been
promised for it and more.
The only thing that happened to
mar the occasion was the fact that the
Katy flyer, which was to have brought
the Parsons band here at 9:45 did
not arrive until after II o'clock, but
then the parade was held and it was
certainly dandy parade, too.
Several hundred children gathered
at South Park at $3.50 as had been
requested and when 1t was learned
that the train was late, the ladies ID
charge, decided to have the children
march to the Auditorium and enjoy
the moving picture show until time
for the parade. The glad shouts of
the children, as waving small Ameri-
can flags they marched up the streets,
attracted a great crowd, and the whole
town soon became imbued with the
spirit of celebration, and that made
the anniversary of the institution of
the Elks a gala day in Vinita.
While the Elks are entitled to much
credit for this grand day for children,
the greater credit is due the Civic
Club, for it was in that club the idea
|of children's picnic originated. The
ladies asked the Elks to aid them, fin
ancially in giving the picnic. AS this
was the anniversary of the Elks, and
they were contemplating some kind of
"a celebration, the idea Of the chill
|dren's picnic strongly impressed them
and they agreed to pay the bills If
the Civic Club, would take charge of
the affair. This was agreed to, and

FORTUNE WAITING
FOR OSAGE GIRL
Girl is Somewhere in Chicago And
ignorant Of Search Instituted by
Parents For Her.

Washington, d. c., May 2S.-Some-
where in Chicago, cared for by veal
thy foster parents, 6-year-old Mildred
Souligny pursues her way sublimely
ignorant Of the search being made
for her by her natural parents and
detectives in their employ. She is ig-
norant of the fact that she is the
daughter of an Usage Indian squaw,
and as such is entitled to an estate
in money and lands which. by the
time she attains legal age, Will be
worth upward Of $4,000.
Mildred was born in St. Mary's hos
pital, Chicago, January IS, 1904, the
offspring of clandestine marriage
which both parties wished kept Sc
eret. In the face of existing circum-
stances, the mother agreed to aban-
don the child before returning to the
Usage reservation in Oklahoma. A
prominent Chicago physician, then at
tached to the hospital, promised to
find a home for the baby. Mildred
was adopted by a wealthy, childless
couple, whose identity was known only
to the head Of the institution and the
physician who arranged the adoption
Before the adoption the foster par
ents insisted that neither the real
parents nor the child should be al
lowed to know the true status of the
case. This was agreed to and all
parties were satisfied.
But the entire aspect of the case
was changed two years later when
congress enacted law requiring the
enrolment Of all members of the Os
age nation. the richest tribe in North
America per capita and the appor
|tionment of tribal lands and money
Immediately Mildred's parents re
questcd her enrolment, furnishing the

Concrete Posts Practical
According to Experts

more than ordinary side pressure or
strain, is recommended The proper
ton of ingredients recommended by
the department Isl in case Of unscreen-
ed @bank.run" gravel one part Of ee-
ment to four parts OF gravel For
crushed rock or screened gravel
(Which y much better than bank
run" gravel, the concrete should be
used in the proportion of one part
of cement, two parts Of sand and four
parts Of rock or gravel Enough water
should be used so the concrete will
culver under a blow from shovel
A rod three.sixteenths of an inch IN
diameter should be used as center
for the posts.
The best method for attaching the
fence wire to the posts is to encircle
the post with a wire one size less than
the corresponding wire in the fence
proper, and to twist this wire around
the fence wire.
Triangular posts have been found
to be cheaper than square ones, The
cost Of material and labor in 7-foot
triangular post is 70 cents; and in the
square post Of the same length, s2A

proof of her birth and existence. The
necessary evidence was furnished by
the Chicago physician, who, however,
refused to diyulge her whereabouts.
The stumbling block, and the fea-
ture that brought the Indian commits
sioner into the case, appeared when
the Indian agent for the Usage tribe
insisted that the mother shoow proof
that the child would be benefited by
the annuitfes from the estate, which
the mother wished to draw. 1T the
same time local attorneys acting for
the Usage tribe on the assumption
that the child for which annuities
were claimed was nothing more ma
terial than the offspring of plant
Imagination, asked the interior de-
partment for proof that the little girl
existed
Again the Chicago physician was ap-
pealed to. He called in the foster par
ents. They refused absolutely to al
low their identities to be divulged,
the foster father declaring that by
the termg Of his will be had made
Mildred heiress to far greater estate
than she ever would acquire from the
Usage nation and that, as she was
ignorant of her mixed lineage, and
would be happier in that ignorance,
he would insist that the original in
tentions Of the contract be adhered
to.
There this strange case rests, so far
as the federal authorities are con-
|cerned. The estate continues to pile
|up money in Mildred's name in the
United States treasury, and win con-
tinue to, SO far as the authorities are
concerned. until the Usage nation
proves not only that Mildred is dead,
Ibnt that she died without heirs.

1t is only because that government
would not or could not offer such
guarantees as the Bank Of France
considered adequate that it made use
of the London market. which has
much greater interest than ours in
the prosperity of the United States.
"The occasions which we have just
mentioned are not the only ones in
which the Bank of France has had to
intervene. In the first days of May,
1906, it loaned 4OO00,000 francs to the
Bank of England in order that the lat
ter might avoid raising the discount
rate. In September, 1906, it sold sew
eral millions in American eagles with
the knowledge that they would at
once make their way to New York.
More recently, in the very midst of
the crisis, the bank released many mill
lions of eagles and sovereigns under
similar conditions. 1t would therefore
appear that this policy Of relief has
been definitely adopted by the Bank
|of France"
In view Of the many occasions on
which the Bank of France has thus
proved the refuge of the great banks
of other countries in averting disaster,
interest is given to the suggestions
of Signor Luzzatti, formerly Italian
minister of finance, in regard to an
international agreement between
banks of issue and government treas
uries for mutual support. AS thus out
lined, M. Patron contends that the
Bank Of France would be forced to
adopt, as an obligatory rule of con-
duct, q measure which after all is
employed only as an exception and at
such times as it deems opportune. 1t
is easy to foresee, he declares, what
would happen under such system.
France, financially the strongest coun-
try, would have very little to expect
from abroad, while it would find its
aid urgently solicited at the least
alarm among its neighbors. Its posi-
tion as moderator, from being volun-
tarily assumed as it is now, would
become obligatory and subordinate,
and this would be evidently unaccept-
able. In summing up the present po-
sition of the Bank of France, with its
reserve towering above that of any
other great bank. NJ. Patron concludes
that this reserve, admirably managed
as it is, affords not only an insurance
against crises, but also the surest
guaranty against the recurrence Of
great wars Upon this point he con
cludes thus:
I'VE have shown that the fighting
power of a nation has now no limit
other than the financial effort OF
which it is capable. 1t is not going
too far to state that the formidable
cost which war would involve has
more than once caused our possible
Ienemies to recoil. and that in the set
tlement of political or diplomatic
questions the nation which is richest
/ in gold is always the one which com
mands the most respect"
