xALL street has learned with some surprise of the election of
wv John ii. Hammond, the mining expert, to the presidency of
w the General Cotton Securities company, concern recently in
corporated in New Jersey with a capital of ~$1OOOOOOO to exploit
valuable improvements in cotton ginning machinery. Great things
are predicted for the new enterprise in the way of revoutonizing and
the ginning of cotton. The company s charter is a broad
one. and permits it to deal in cotton warehouse receipts buy and sell
cotton securities, build warehouses, store cotton, etc. Of the capital
stock $7OOOOOO will be in common and $3,OO0OOO 7 per cent pre-
ferred. From mining to cotton is a long jump for Mr.. Hammond and
the vests wonderment will be enhanced when it is known that the
vice president of the new concern is none other than Daniel J. Suly,
who managed the disastrous Sully corner in cotton several years ago

The Attack Has Come

HE EXPECTED attack upon the direct primary law has begun
I ton yesterday, asking for an injunction restraining the secre-
tay of state from proceeding t. carry out the provisions of the law.
The injunction is asked on the ground that the law is unconstitutional.
The News has no fear of the law s unconstitutionahty, and is con-
WINGED that the supreme court, whatever may be the fears entertained
by others, Will decide the mooted questions purely upon their merit
and sustain the law in every particular. w have endeavored to discour
age any attack upon the law, not because we did not believe it would
stand the test, but because we knew the men and interests behind
the attack ard the motives which actuated them. These motives are
not disinterested, by any means. The attack is made in the interests
OF Nixon and Bartlett and against those of Governor Dickerson. The
former fear 10 leave their chances of denomination with the people

The direct primary is a popular law in the interests of popular

convention system, bosses" can sell out the people to the highest
bidder for the places at their disposal. This is why the bosses and
machine politicians object to primaries this is why the Southern Pa

CHIEF
DIES At HIS HOME
GREEN McCURTAlN, CHIEF OF
THE CHoCTAWS, PASSES AWAY
DEATH DEEPLY REGRETTED.

As briefly stated in yesterdays
Ardmoreite, Green McCurtain, COVER
nor of the Choctaw nation and prin-
cipal chief of that one of the Five
Civilized Tribes, died at his home at
Kinta at ! O'Clock, at the age of 6S,
surrounded by the members of his
family, including ID. c. McCurtain, his
son, whose law firm are the lawyers
for the Choctaw nation. The immedi-
at cause of his death was erysipelas
in his face. He Is survived by his wild
ow, his son, ID. c., a daughter, the
wife of George w. Scott, former sec
retary-treasurer of the nation, two
younger daughters and son unmar-
ried.
He was accounted a wealthy man,
leaving large estate.
Governor McCurtain was a man of
remarkable native ability. He served
his people as legislator, as national
treasurer and for many years as gov
ernor.
He was elected at least four terms
as governor, and he has been acting
as governor the last time since Oct
ober, 1902, having been elected at that
time after one of the bitterest con-
tests in the history Of the tribe, the
supplementary treaty being the issue
in the campaign. Governor McCurtain
had favored the treaty. He had had a
hand in drafting it. The then COVER
nor, Gilbert Dukes, opposed 1t and
his candidate was T. w. Hunter, then
of Caddo.
The meeting of the council was so
strenuous that federal troops were
brought in at the request of Indian
Agent ]. Blair Shoenfelt. Governor
Dukes had his armed light horse in
possession of the council chamber
while the McCurtain forces camped
outside.
Governor McCurtain had two broth
ers. Jack and Edmond. All three OF
them were at different times COVER
nor of the Choctaws, Jack serving two
tefms and Edmond one.
He was one of the first Indians or
the Five Civilized Tribes who recog-
nized that the wiping out of the
tribes was inevitable. When the first
Dawes commission came to treat with
the Indians, looking to the allotment
of tribal lands in severalty and the
eventual creation of the state, Gov
ernor McCurtain was friendly. His
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1910-12-28

attitude had much to do with the
agreements finally entered into.
1t was the regret of his life that
the winding up of tribal affairs IN a
manner equitable to the peopre had
not been long ago consummated.
Governor McCurtain was of massive
physique. He was a vigorous fighter
whi never knew defeat The stories
of his exploits in Choctaw politics
would fill ar interesting book.
The Governor Joined the Baptist
church a year or so ago, and later an
nounced that he had become a repub-
lican in politics. He was a staunch
admirer of Jos. w. McNeal and made
speeches for him during the last cam
paign. OF late years the governor
forced alliances with some of his for.
mer political enemies and also be-
came estranged from some of his for
mer political friends.
The funeral will be at Kinta tomor-
row afternoon.

oBERLlN COLLEGE GLEE CLUB.

The Oberlin College Glee club has
appeared in twenty-five states in the

reived with enthusiasm. The program
includes the best classics, folk songs

tainment, and besides every dollar
given goes to help pay on the Y. M.

The following verses give an excel
lent idea of the character of the Ober-
lin Glee Club entertainment which
will be given at the Broadway Meth
odist church January 2:
There's a swing about their singing
That is captivating quite,
And it simply fills your bosom
With a fond and deep delight,
And JOY spreads like molasses
Over every earthly thing
When the bassos join the tenors
And those Oberliners sing.
They can soothe you with a ditty
That was made to make you sleep,
Or can harrow up your feelings
With song that's full of weep;
They can set your heart to beating
With a song of sweetest love,
Or can pipe a sacred anthem
That would watt your soul above.
They can haul your soul to blazes
With song a la the coon,
Or can take you up to glory
With a Methodistic tune;
For their lungs are filled with music
And their throats are full OF glee,
And a fellow when he hears them
Lets his soul go on spree.
There's a swing about their singing
That is mighty hard to beat,
And they tickle your best feelings
In way that is a treat,
And your bosom gets to heaving
And your heart goes ting-a-ling
When the bassos join the tenors
And those Oberliners sing.

Our faces will be wreathed in smiles
of foreign and domestic styles.
Well radiate a sunny glee, and show
how genial we can be, and bless the
children as they play; We'll all thaw
out on Christmas day. And when
the Christmas lday is done, well
turn again to coming mon, with
frowning brows and eyes severe
why not be gay throughout the
year? On Christmas day we'll all
be kind, forgetful of the workday
grind; Wen loosen up without a
groan, forget to pinch the shining
bone; We'll send some doodads to
the poor, and swell their happiness
for sure. And when the Christmas
day is gone, well say, Time lost,
so help me, john" And then well
break our foolish necks to nail the
shekels and kopecks, with toiling

glad throughout the year? Why not

there throughout the year?
