KILLED FATHER
TO SAVE FAMILY
Wade Farmer crazed by Drink Ban
dishes Revolver And Threatens
to Wipe Out Entire Family.

Durant, Okla, Aug. 28.-To save his
life and the lives of his mother and
other members of the family from the
attacks of drunken father, Pearl
Lauderdale, 18 years old, killed James
Lauderdale at their home near Wade,
this county, using a shotgun as wea-
pom. The father died almost instantly.
According to the story of young
Launderdale and members of the fam
lily to County Attorney Walter J. Turn
bull, Lauderdale first came home late
Saturday night badly intoxicated, and
securing a pistol he drove the entire
family away from home. He then dis
appeared, but returned Monday night
and renewed his threats and attack.
Branishing loaded revolver and de-
claring in loud tones his intention to
wipe the family from the face of the
earth, Lauderdale, crazed by the liq-
uor, advanced toward the son who
grabbed the gun and fired pointblank
into the breast of his father.
The son Immediately surrendered to
officers declaring he was justified in
the killing. The father long has borne
quarrelsome reputation and been in
trouble frequently. The boy is held
pending preliminary hearing.

NEW RAILROAD
DECIDES UPON
JOPLIN ROUTE
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf VIII Use
Frisco Tracks East From Baxter
Springs, Kans., to Joplin.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. a9.-The Missouri,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad has closed
negotiations for the use of the Frisco
tracks between Baxter Springs and
Joplin, according to A. O. Won Dorm,
commercial agent of the new road with
headquarters in Kansas City. Mr.. Won
Dorm was in Joplin yesterday.
By using the Frisco tracks, instead
of laying its own steel, the company
will be enabled to operate trains on
the road at an earlier date. Within
less than four months trains probably
will be in operation on the new road
into Joplin. Mr. Won Dorm said yesfer-
day it was certain the road would be
handling business out of Joplin by
January I. 1913.
Whether or not the old Memphis
tracks will be used between Galena
and Joplin, Mr.. Won Dorm could not
say.
1t is undetermined what depot the
NJ, o. & G. will use. Many reports
concerning the companys plans are
current. but officials have refused to
furnish any information on the sub
ject
Some time ago it was said that the
Missouri Pacific would join the own
ers Of the new road in the erection Of
a new depot, to be shared BY both COM
panies. The announcement that M.
o. & G. trains will be operated over
the Frisco tracks for short distance
has given color to rnrnor that the
road viii use the new Frisco depot.
Has Reached Miami.
A great amount of work on the new
railroad has been completed. Rails
have been laid up to the Neosho river
at Miami. Okla. When few bridges
are erected the roadway will be COM
pleted from Wagner, Okla, to Miami.
1t is believed that tracks may be laid
from Miami to Baxter Springs within
a short time.
While here Mr. Won Dorm announc-
ed the names of stations on the road
from Wagner. Okla. to Joplin. With
the exception of FairIand, Miami and
Baxter Springs, all of the stations are
new ones. The names of the towns in
order follow: Wagner. Ross city,
Yonkers, Salina. Locust Grove, Pensa-
cola, Bernice. Fairland, Traber. Miami,
Baxter Springs. Galena and Joplin.

NATIONAL BANKS
TRANSMIT CASH
FOR POLITICIANS

New York, Aug. 29,--Acting Chair
man McAdoo. in disclosing his sugges
tion that banks act as receivers for
campaign contributions for all parties.
has been received in all parts Of the
country as one of the most practical
ideas of the compaign.
Acting Chairman McAdoo has the
following to say on this subject:
The opinion Of the acting solicitor
of the treasury department that ma
tional banks receive and transmit sub
seriptions for each Of the national
political parties puts at rest all ques-
tions as to the right Of the banks to
act II they want to do so. 1t is, Of
course, our intention to have the
banks charge for all expenses to which
they may be put for the service they
may render.
The letters to the banks are just
gong OUT, and already we are having
responses from all parts of the coun-
try. In few days we shall publish
list OF the institutions which have
agreed to serve.
1T is decided innovation, and some
of the banks, with their usual conser-
vatism are hesitating about it. but I
believe there will be very general
response in its favor.
1T is thoroughly non-partisan serv-
ice, and one that viii be OF great bene-
fit to the whole country. 1t puts upon
the banks once in four years. and for
a period not exceeding ninety days, a
relatively small burden They viii be
paid for any expense to which they
may be put, and at the same time they
will make a large contribution 10 the
public good.

You also charge wholesale partiality
among the teachers in the following
beautiful language: Without desir.
ing in any way to wound the sensibil-
tiles of any teacher in the kingdom OF
Craig, I insist that any teacher who
says she or he is not partial deceives
themselves and themselves only
Now, Mr.. Spectator in the many
charges that you make against the
teachers of Craig county does III not
sometimes occur to you that In some
of these charges at least you may de-
ceive "yourselves?"
For instance that extreme brutality
lof the teacher for whom the county
attorney refused to issue warrant,
! are you right sure that the alto 1ey
did not know his business, or is he like
the school boards of the county, needs
a guardian? If the child was beaten
so brutishly as you say, did not the
parent of that child have recourse
other than criminal prosecution at
the expense of the state? VIII you
believe it when the writer of this ar
ticle tells you, that the ignorant half
baker teachers with the list of writ
ten rules an da seyen-f6ot "gadan know
very well that should they use that
"gada'' too freely that they are sub
ject not only to criminal prosecution,
but also subject to real and exemplary
damages and that in the collection of
these damages you can take even his
wearing apparel until he is left clothed
only in the habiliments Of sunshine?
God in his wisdom gave two ways
to rule the world, 1st, the hope of re-
ward and the second was the fear of
punishment AS you wholly repudiate
the later Of the rudlesNwill you not give
one to take the place of the one that
is SO odious? OF it is wrong to correct
children in school then why is it not
wrong to punish an infraction Of the
laws of the country? VIII Spectator
believe it when the writer of this ar
ticle says that he does not believe that
there was not as many CAGES of cor
poral punishment in Craig county the
past year as there was teachers in the
county, and that he is willing to admit
this should be the maximum number
for thn ontYn4xy ord that exy,rxy 4,>a a1,,,,
who has been forced to this punish
ment feels humiliated because Of it?
BY innuendo you charge the teach
ers with believing in the Mosaic law.
To which charge the writer Of this
article will plead guilty. Will you
please explain what is the matter
with, Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt
not kill, Thou shalt not bear false wi
ness, etc.
In conclusion Mr.. Spectator" do
you not really believe that you de-
ceived yourselves in the amount of
waste in the building of the magnifi-
cent temples of learning of which our.
state and especially our county are so
proud? Also don't 20 uthink those
half baked teachers with only the half
ounce of brains would some times get
hungry during vacation on ten dol
lars month, especially if they were
allowed to spend their own money!?
Could you not also grant that a few
at least had suspicion of humanity
in their makeup and that they had
rather see the countenance of their
wards wreathed in smiles than con-
tofted in agony?
