HIS THE COMMON FATE.
Senator Gore Says He Knew What He
Would Get.

Washington, Jan. 13-''My experience
has demonstrated how much easier it is
to remain silent and secure than wage
war against wrong doors of a certain
character said Senator Gore of Ok
lahoma today in his concluding charges
of attempted bribery in connection with
legislation bearing upon contracts of
certain attorneys with Indians calling
for large fees.
Mr.. Gore was speaking Of the fulfil
ty of disclosures of alleged attempts
to influence legislation which he made
In the closing days of the last session
OF congress and the fact that the per-
sons under investigation had attempt
ed to impugn his motives.
MY fate has been the common fate
OF every man who makes such dis
closure as I felt compelled to make to
the senate" said the senator.
Il knew that all that malice and
money could do to discredit me would
my anticipations."
Senator Gore characterized the
counter criticisms against him as a
prodigality of perjury He said he
believed silence on his part would have
cost the Indians millions of dollars. At
it is. he believed the indiana had been
saved at east threeGor four million
dollars.
Cecil Smith, the Texas lawyer, who
closed the argument in behalf of j. F.
MeMurray of Muskogee, former attor-
ney for the Choctaw and Chickasha
NATIONS. one of the chief beneficiaries
under the contracts in question, de-
elded there was no evidence in the
record to connect Mr. McMurray in
any way with the robbery which Sen
ator Gore alleged had been attempted.
Mr.. Smith said the evidence proved
that If Jacob Hamon made a proposal
to pay $4,000 to Mr. Gore in return
for his influence in congress, as
charged by the senator, the offer had
been made as a joke. or else that he
proposed to get Cores support for his
own bill and then make deal with
McMurray whereby the latter would
ultimately "pay the freight

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS


If one has pure breed of fowls he
should by no means think of crossing
with some other breed. With mon
grels, Of course, 1t Is different, and
as there is nothing to lose something
may be gained, but with pure bred
fowls it is quite different, and from
the time we make the first cross we
have only mongrels. 1t Is much easier
to tear down than to build up. So
also It Is easier to spot! pure bred
than to build it up. BY all means get
pure bred fowls.
If you cannot afford to buy fowls
buy ut least sitting of eggs. and the
next year you will have start. Do
not keep hens and males indiscrimi-
nately, but each year select few
choice fowls for the breeding pen, and
then you can hatch the chickens you
expect to get from eggs laid by the
hens running at large.
In this way your entire flock will
soon be the best, and each season you
can dispose of the culls. but unless
dressed for market we should prefer
to use them on the table.

THE BOARD OFF PARDONs.

The Board of Pardons, sitting il
New Orleans Tuesday, recommended
that twenty convicts in the Stat,
penitentiary be pardoned by tht
Governor. The crimes of these con
victs range from murder to larceny
and from life Imprisonment to one
years servitude.
What is the use of trying and con
victing criminals if after shor
term in the pen they can obtaiI
their pardon readily, if they hav,
friends with political pull?
There are some instances where
clemency should be exercised, anC
the penalty for the crime may b.
mitigated, but what good and sub
stantial reason can be advanced fol
the pardoning of convicts for rape
murder, attempted rape or robbery?
1t is not long since that number
of crooks from New Orleans re-
ceived the favorable recommended
ton of the Board of pardons, prob
ably through the intermediary OF
politicians.
These pardons Of murderers, rap
lists and robbers, ballot box suffers
and election swindlers, develop a
contempt for the law and encourage
individuals possessed of some influ-
ence TO indulge in crime.
Before exercising clemency for a
criminal, the Board of pardons
should be mindful Of the fact that
convictions are secured, especially
for murder, rape, robbery, ballot
box stufllhg, at great cost to the
State, after the most persistent de-
Tense by skilled attorneys who have
every means of their profession TO
secure an acquittal of their clients.
AT the rate pardons are being
granted to criminals who should be
kept in the pen to the end of their
terms, 1t would seem senseless and
useless to spend money and efforts
in upholding justice in the importial
enforcement of law and in the pro-
lection of society.
II is through such exercise of
clemency that the spirit Of lynch
law is encouraged.

ESTABLISHING AN
ASPARAGUS BED.
Soil Must Be Well Cultivated
and Heavily MANFRED.

In selecting place for asparagus
remember that 1t will need to be cut
every morning during its yielding sea-
son and that the one planting of II

essential to put 1t In convenient
place. A row of It along the fence
In the garden will probably be con-
venient IL the place is not already
occupied by rhubarb. 1t Is very nee
essary that the soil for asparagus be
exceedingly rich, but In small plant
Ing this can be made artificially.
Having selected the place, the prob
lem is to put the soil In the best pos
sible condition, both of fertility and
physical structure. Potatoes or some
other cultivated crop is good to pre-
cede asparagus, as the ground will be
well loosened up by 1t.
Heavy manuring is absolutely nee
essary. The ground cannot be too
rich for asparagus. Put on thick
coating Of manure, spade 1t In deeply
and then put on more and keep on
as long as 1t seems possible to make
It any richer. 1t is much more salts
factory to do this manuring at this
time, before the plants are started.
for after the plants are in there will
be difficulty in doing much heavy
manuring
1t is not so essential to have very
deep soil bed. as the asparagus roots
tend to grow horizontally instead of
down. But the first foot of the soil
should be spaded and raked repeat.

Pine tar and turpentine are the Inn
