The Oklahoma Scandal.

No one will doubt that Senator
Gore, Of Oklahoma, told the exact
truth when he stated before the
congressional investigating COM
mittee that Vice President Sher-
man was named to him as one of
the men nigh in the govern
ment" who was financially in
terest in the scheme to grab the
coal and asphalt lands of the
ChoctaW Indians in Oklahoma.
Nor will anyone doubt that Sena-
tor Gore would not have mention
ed the name Of Mr.. Sherman and
that of Senator Curtis had he not
been under oath and was forced
by the committee to repeat all
that Jacob L. Hamon had told
him during the interview in
which HamOn offered him a bride
of @25, 900 to withdraw his op-
position to. the proposed land
grab.
No one will question the facts
as stated by Senator Gore, and no
one will accuse him of bearing
false witness, because the con-
tracts with the Indians, by which
a New York syndicate expected
to profit to the extent of millions,
were typical. For many years
the Indians have been the victims
of all sorts Of frauds, and it is not
surprising that another raid upon
their possessions should be
planned. The only. wonder is
that it was not consummated.
All of this, however, does not
establish the, charges against Mr..
Sherman andthe other gentlemen
who were named by Senator
Gore. The foundation of these
charges is not in the testimony of
the Oklahoma Senator before the
investigating committee, but in
the unsupported statement of a
notorious lobbyist. 1t is a COM
mon thing at Washington for a
lobbyist, in approaching a men,
Der of congress- he would corrupt,
to state that other men of high
standing are in the DEAL" In
this the motive is plain and the
procedure is comparatively safe,
because such statements are not
likely to be given publicity.
1t is reasonable to assume that
the names of many public men
have been used without their
authority by the promoters of cor
rupt scheme, but nobody has suf-
ficient confidence n.the lobbyist
to base formal chargess on his
statements, yet the statements
are circulated in gossip and the
characters of innocent and honor
able men T thus besmirched.
The cruelty and the infamy of it
lies in the fact that the victim
never has a chance to defend
himself, n. O.. States.

they seemed quaint, halfgiddy array

did much work in 1908. going into
many states and getting delegates
for TAFT. Bieber's name went to the
senate last spring, but his appoint,
ment was opposed by Senator Crane
and Senator Carter of Montana. Sen
ator Bourne of Oregon entered the
game, chiefly out of friendship for the
present incumbent, Howard Nyman, a
member of the exclusive Metropoli-
tan Club here. Confronted by this
pressure Taft withdrew Bieber's
name and Bieber still is jobless.

ants that he is 'out of politics" and

OF his wages and returned with small
capital, This man, who worked ten
years for a corporation and had con-
stantly before him that he must not
let nickel get away, came back here
and in the little details of farming is
neighborhood object lesson in con-
servation.
A few of the older citizens say the
city training is not all loss, and that
other young men who come back to
the farm occasionally are proving use
ful to the farming community because
they put into practice many of the use
full things they learn in the city. 1t
may be possible that in time the cities
will be a training school for farmers
In details OF promptness and conserva-
tion of whatever qualities a man may
have. This farmer from the street car
platform takes as good care to save
all the manure of the farm as he took
to get all the transfers on "6 o'clock
load" and his corn field shows the
wisdom of that kind of conservation.
Bates county farmers have never paid
much attention to natural fertilizers.
Ii stream passed through farm the
rule has been to use it for the feed lot
and let the water carry the manure
away. Gradually farmers are now
adopting different policy, but there
is much progress to be made before
they will have reached state where
the full value of conservation of farm
resources will be understood.
For the departure OF these seven
hundred people to Kansas City and
half as many to St. Louis there are
two reasons given. One is contained
In the conversation of the young man
who went to st. Louis, that it requires
capital to begin life as farmer, while
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1910-10-14

man can go to the city and work for
somebody else without capital.
The other is the glamour of city
life. The young man and young WON
en- of the country are lonesome on the
farms. They wear rough clothes and
do hard work. They see city people
wearing every day the kind OF clothes
they wear on Sundays and holidays.
They see the lights and the crowds and
the entertainment of the city and do
rot see the less interesting features.
The search for cheaper land is a
cause for loss of population, but the
search for cheaper lands by people
farther east is bringing homeseekers
into this country and partially COM
pensating it. 1t is not the drain on
population that going to the city has
been.

London, Oct. 14.-Six thousand men
are at work this week putting the fin.
ishing touches on the leviathan steam
ship the Olympic, preparatory TO the
launching of the vessel next week.
The Olympic, with her sister ship thS

steamship In the world, and the giants
Cauretania and Lusitania will look
comparatively small beside her. The
Olympic Is much nearer completion
than the Titantlc.
The Olympic is a veritable ocean

16S feet, Both the Olympic and the
Titanic are being built at the Belfast
yards and will be put into service be-

completed.
