MORGAN'S "BLACK BESS"
BECOMES "BLACK BILL
ScuIptor's Mistake May Unhorse Statue
of the Famous Confederate
Raider

Lexington, Ky.-Gen. Basil w. Duke
came here a few days ago to have a
look at the statue of Gen John Nor
gan, the Confederate raider.
The fund to build this statue,
which is life size and which represents
Gen. Morgan mounted on his famous
black mare, Black Bess, was raised
by the Daughters, of the Confederacy
after years of work. When the fund
at last was on deposit in local bank
an order was given by the daughters
to sculptor
The sculptor was told to have as
good a statue of Black Bess as he
possibly could make from photo
graphs. When the statue was com
pleted it was unveiled with fitting
ceremonies. Not only were speeches
made of the bravery and exploits OF
the famous raider but Black Bess was
described as the gamest mare that
ever wore hair. 1t indeed was a
beautiful tribute that every speaker
paid to man and mare.
On his arrival Gen. Duke went ar.
ound to the Lafayette Hotel, where
he was joined by Col. Milt Young ant
Col. Christopher Chestnut.
well, we'll go out now and lool
over John and Black Bess," said thu
General after the usual Lafayette
Hotel courtesies. Have either of yol
seen the statue?'
mo; we have been waiting for yol
to come along" replied Col. Young
The three went to the statue an
, Gen. Duke remarked.
''Fine likeness of John, but say
> gentlemen, this isn't Black Bess."
Then the three began laughing
} They were still laughing when the
lined up for more courtesies at tn
hotel. Gen. Duke called up one @
! his nieces on the telephone. He said

I isn't Black Bess. You better call ths

WILSON Is CHOICE OF
n. W. FOLK FOR PRESIDENT
Continued from page one.)


------
Bryan democrat. Bryan is the big
thing in democrat politics in the state
of Montana. The democrats seem to
think that Mr.. Bryan will some out
for Woodrow Wilson and should Mr..
Bryan take that stand it would be
off with the stand pat element in all
OF the Northwest tier of states and
at the same time assure the nomina-
ton of Governor Wilson on the first
ballot.
Washington will send an instruct
ed delegation for Wilson. Chas. G..
Heifner, chairman of the democratic
state committee is out for Mr.. Will
son and so is William II. Dunphy, ma
| tional committeeman. In fact a big
majority of the democratic state COM
| mittee are for Wilson"
1T is understood that William H
Dunphy will be a candidate for gov.
ernor this fall. He will have a bis
| backing from both sides of the noun.
| tains and it Is said he will carry the
| east side of the state with a big ma.
! jority. Maurice A. Langhorne, who
was the democratic nominee for con
gress from the second (Tacoma) dis
trict will be candidate for nationa
committeeman and without a doub
will be elected.
Oregon will send an instructed
delegation for Woodrow Wilson if
do not miss my guess and the mel
that go will be straight progressive
and no trimmer need apply. I hav
ridden from one end of the state o
, Oregon to the other I have been i
all parts of the state and have foun
the Woodrow Wilson sentiment stron
| enough to carry the delegations i
every district. The democrats are &c
going to send a man to Baltimore tina
is even questioned. in spite of tn
| fact that the people might instruC
| them. They know how easy 1t Is fo
some men TO break their pledges an

they will take no chances. The man
that did not support Bryan will get
little show when it comes to making
UP delegations. The people are pro-
gressive and that sentiment will pre-
vail all over the Northwest.
"A good indicator of democratic
success this fall all over the North
west is the fact that so many people
are coming out for democratic nomi-
nations. 1t matters little what state
one may visit he finds the democrats
enthusiastic and they all expect to
win the presidency and will fight
hard to carry the states.
owing to the fact that Governor
Hiram Johnson is delivering the
goods down in California, he may be
able to hold that state in line for the
republican ticket but in the event that
President Taft is re-nominated, you
can put California in the democratic
columns so far as the presidency is
concerned.
Come back to my own state,
Washington, we will have candidates
to burn. / expect to try again for
the democratic nomination for lieu
tenant governor. 1 was a candidate
four years ago but that was such a
republican year in Washington that
democrat stood as little show in the
state as a snow bah would have in
blast furnace. This year it is diff
! ferent. The progressive republicans
are organizing all over the state.
They are fighting Taft to the bitter
end and many of them swear that
they will vote for Woodrow Wilson if
La Toilette is not nominated.
| 'I understand that Senator Cum
Minis has come out for himself for
president. No one that has watched
Cummins' course will be a bit sur
prised Cummins is a trimmer. He
trys to make people believe that he
| is true progressive but when he is
weighed he is found just one big
! bunch of selfishness. In other words
he is for Cummins and the things that
will come Cummins' way. He will be
found in the Taft column before the
national republican convention meets
and Iowa will have a trading delega.
ton that will vote for Taft at the pro.
per time
"LaFollette is strong in the middle
west and on the coast. If the repub'
lican sentiment could control the ma
tional convention he would be nomi
mated on the first ballot but as the
office holders can control the south
where there is no chance for a re-
publican elector. Taft will be nomi
mated on the first ballot"

THE HALF EMPTY BOTTLE

Some time since, | sent out from
/ this department TO various farmers in
the state, and to several newspapers,
an article entitled, Cork the Bottle,
whic hadvised in no uncertain terms
that Oklahoma farmers should make
every effort to conserve the moisture,
which was so plentiful at that time,
ana TO save same by careful surface
cultivation for the use of the crops
during the dry season which felt
sure would come.
As the article was mailed out at
the time when frequent rains were
falling and part Of the state, at least
was suffering from temporary over
abundance of water, | received several
sarcastic letters, telling me that | had
better advise the farmers how to Sc
cure drainage instead OF telling them
to conserve moisture An editor. in
one of the sections which is now SUI
fering from drouth, wrote me that in
his section of the state he thought
il would be better to cork the bottle
TO keep it from bursting, instead OF
corking it to hold the moisture in.
Events have proved that ! was
right, and many of the farmers of the
state are getting the same old object
lesson in regard to the advantage of
holding the moisture while YOU haVN
il. The bottle is already half empty,
but there is yet time to cork the bot
tie and save what moisture remains.
There is still considerable moisture
in the subsoil, but it is escaping ev-
cry day where the surface OF the
ground is not reduced to a dust mulch.

This farmer had followed instruc-

crowth of the plants would permit.
Right beside this field was another
patch of oats which had not been har-

patch had been crusted by the rains.

FOR WOMEN n

New York June ll.-Vincent As
tor. who when he becomes OF age
next November Will be the master
Of an estate of possibly $l00, 900,
has been the subject of great solici-
tude to several thousand correspon-
dents. Letters by the bushel have
poured in upon him.
Old women and young women,
brazen and demure, thin and fat
ones pretty and ugly have taken
their pens in hand, not without hope
OF gain. some have pretended to be-
speak Mr.. Astors interest in behalf
OF causes other than purely per
sonal ones. but most OF them-the
letters from the women-have been
frankly and avowedly written IN
the desire TO call the young man s
attention 10 tertainTpersohs that he
otherwise might overlook.
Almost all OF the writer's have de-
clared that the photographs they
saw in the papers of their hero have
made them quite enamored Of HIM,
and generally they wind ND by beg.
sing that his picture be sent to
them.
One or two elderly ones wanted
TO adopt him. Here and there were
those willing to be sisters to him,
bat most We're willing to marry him
some were reserved almost TO the
point of coldness. These mister
ed him. Others feared that faint
heartedness would get them nothing
so they leaped into endearments in
the first line Some showed a nigh
order OF inventive faculty. 1t seems
almost an injustice that at Mr. As
tors orders these letters are burn
ed weekly in big bundles; it seems
a loss to literature.
Comparatively few OF the letters
written by women are from invent
ors. This class o. communications
almost always bore mans sigma
ture. Things suggested for a worthy
use of the money ranged from pat
ent bung-starters TO methods for
bridging Behring strait Included in
the appeals are those Of professional
beggars. Churches, schools and ii-
braries divide honors as to the num-
bers OF their letters with proposi-
tions from business houses that Of
fer him interests for ever so small
a sum.
Most of these letters. of course
need no answer. Those from wom-
en- on subjects of the heart are en-
tirely ignored Many of the latter
are accompanied by photographs.

as their own postcard pictures OF
Lillian Russell from which they had
