Foul Play Feared.

Fairview, Okla, May 6.-Missing
since last October and with con
siderable amount OF money from col
lected accounts awaiting his demand
it is feared that o. G.. Peck, an old
man who once lived at Togo, Major
county, may have been the victim
OF foul play.
The old man lived in a little shack
near Togo for several years, and,
although he was on friendly terms
with all the neighb0rhood, there was
really no one with whom he was in
innate. 1t was generally supposed
that he had quite a bit Of money.
Last October Peck sold his farm
and went away, his only leave-taking
was to give neighbOr number of
small accounts to collect 1t was sup
posed among the neighbors that some
one knew of Peck's whereabouts and
little thought was given the matter
This spring when the neighbor who
had been commissioned to do the col
lecting sought to get some trace OF
him it developed that all that was
known OF him was that he had spoken
to some one about going to eastern
Oklahoma TO buy land. AS he is a
good business man, and well educated
a,1 thara 10 naid erah1e money dua
him, if does not seem probable that
he would remain unheard from un-
less something had happened to him.
Postcards found about his shack in
dicate that he had relatives some
where in Oklahoma, but the office
OF mailing could not be deciphered

men that had ever been his in this,
his home city, Governor Cruce, as
per program, stepped out and, pick
ing up a shovel, dug it deep into the
soil and threw the first spa ictIl OF
dirt in the breaking of the ground for
the 100000 high school of the city
of Ardmore. 1t was not a mere spoon
full of earth, either, but regular old
time Paddys' shovel full-almost a
barrow load, dug up with a good old
fashioned number two"
After the ground had been broken
the school children, who could no
longer be restrained, broke through
the ropes and flocked about the gov
ernor to shake his hand. For nearly
an hour he stood there holding an
informal reception. and, erasping
each childish hand with a hearty and
a heartfelt clasp gave it a hearty
shake.

ed, for the youth of today is the citi-
zen OF tomorrow, and with an edu-
Gated citizenship everything is to~be
expected. We are merely paying back
10 this generation the debt We owe
to the preceding one.
But our duty to the youth does not
stop with the training OF the mind, or
the hand or the physical being. When
he graduates from here he has just
commenced his life and to turn him
loose in this, or any other community
without providing a clean atmosphere
and environment to live In, has only
made him wise enough TO live by his
wits and not by the sweat Of his brow
as God intended him to do. The
greatest asset of a community is its
morality and this applies to the ma
ton, state and city ana the way the
community lives just SO will the
youth as sure as day succeeds night.
May y next has been set apart by
the governor OF this state as Moth
ers' Day. I would like to inquire
when he will set time for Fathers
Day Does everybody work but faith
er? The mother makes the home
fer the family and the father should
provide community just as clean
as the mother provides the home and
he should by his life, Influence and
vote, sustain the mother and not null
lify her example. So let us get be-
hind this high school not only with
our means but with our lives, Influ-
ence and vote make clean place for
the graduates from this institution"

.EX-GOV. HERRICK
MAY BE SELECTED
An Ohio Man Will Be Chosen to
Take Charge of Taft's
Headquarters Here.

An Ohio man will have charge Of the
Taft headquarters that is soon to be
opened here for the purpose Of promoting
the campaign for the denomination Of
Mr.. Taft. Myron T. Herrick, former
governor Of Ohio, and Arthur I. Eorys,
who managed the Taft campaign in Ohio
in 1905. are the men who are being con-
sidered seriously for this place. PresI-
dent Taft was scheduled for a long con-
ference with Mr.. Herrick IN Cleveland
yesterday, and 1t is understood that Mr.
Herrick's availability for this place was
one OF the subjects discussed in that con-
ference. Mr.. Herrick has always been
Taft supporter. and has for years had
q good-sized following in Chic politics.
Arthur ]. Vorys. the other Ohio man
who is being seriously talked Of, looked
after the Presidents interests in 1898,
when they were threatened by Foraker.
NJ. Vorys also took an active part in the
national campaign. After having man.
aged the Taft pre-Convention campaign,
his friends insisted that he should be
made the chairman of the National Com
mittee, and his aspirations led to a good
deal OF friction between him and Frank
H. Hitchcock. The appointment OF Vorys
TO take charge of the Taft headquarters
now might revive some OF this old hos
tility, and for this reason many Of PresiS
dent Tafts advisers are inclined to look
with greater favor upon Mr.. Herrick-

BRANDEIS ATTACKS
STEEL CORPORATION
Attorney Before Stanley Committee
Declares Treatment of En-
ployes Is Inhuman.

Scoring the labor conditions about the
plants Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, Louis d. Brandeis, the Boston
attorney, yesterday declared that the
iron and steel industry was a parasitic
business, living upon the lives of thou
sands of the citizens Of the country.
He declared that in comparison the
slavery OF the old South was an estima-
BILE institution, and declared that long
hours among the employees of the steel
plants are but manifestation of a deeply
rooted and malignant eyil against which
there must he legislation.
D. A. Reed, attorney for the steel COM
pany. at the beginning OF the hearing,
protested against the Stanley committee
going into labor conditions, but the chair
man ruled that the conditions in the
plants of the Steel Corporation are an
essential to the investigation. and the
witness was allowed to proceed.
He showed from statistical reports that
there are I70,OO9 employees in the steel
mills, e per cent of whom, he said, labor
twelve hours a day, six days a week.
He declared that their labor fast makes
OF them physical and mental degenerates.
and that they are prematurely old and
broken men at the age OF forty years.
He declared that they are then cast on
the Industrial scrap heap.
