Famous People and Their "DoubIes."

The American Magazine is just be-
Ginning a new serial story by Mara
yene Thompson entitled 1.-THE Wo-
mans Law which is based on double
identity, in which a mother, to
save her child, substitutes an in
nocent man for a murderer. The au-
thor. Mrs. Thompson. has for many
years been interested in the sub
iect Of double identity. She has
collected many interesting facts on
the subject, and following is an ex-
tract from an interview with her in
which she relates some of the stories
she has gathered:
"Chauncey DepeW had double In
D. J. Bates, a grocer Of North Scltu-
ate. A summer resident there, a
friend Of Depew's, said she never
quite got over the shock Of seeing
'Chauncey' measuring out potatoes
and pickles.
"Supposing you were an unmarried
woman, and people were constantly
asking you GLOW is your husband?'
This was the query that Miss Ida
Tarbell heard daily some years ago
while living in Washington. She was
mistaken for Mrs. A. w. Greedy, Wife
Of the famous arctic explorer. 1t was
not enough for Miss Tarbeu to be
posted on the latest schedule in the
tariff and other national matters Of
which she is master, she must also
know the state Of General Greely's
health. It was easier to respond
The General is we'll, thank you,
than to explain to intimate acqualnt-
ances of the Greelys that she was
not Mrs. Greedy, but Miss Tarbell.
Judge Hughes, of the supreme
court, has his double in Claude NJ.
Hart, manager of the Hotel Touralne
in Boston, and Colonel Roosevelt has
his in Judge Reyes of Concord, Mass.
Mr.. Keyes has a fund of amusement
out of his resemblance to his famous
prototype. A politician and ardent
Progressive, he is in evidence at the
Progressive rallies, and is always
mistaken for the Colonel. While
Roosevelt is being cheered by one
part of a crowd, Keyes, mistaken for
Roosevelt is Justify greeted by an
other part. Mothers stop him with

The Negro Industrial School.

Speaking of the Southern Univer
sity, the industrial school foreaegroes
which is to be established by the
state at some point centrally locat-
ed with reference to the negro pop
ulation of Louisiana, the Baton Rouge
State-Times recently gave utterance
to the following editorial remarks:
There should be no opposition to
the location Of this school in any
community On the contrary. the
movement should meet with the as
sistance and help of the leaders of
thought and action.
the school is to be, under the ne.
plan> one managed by the white men
Of the state, through such negroes as
Prof S. Clarke, OF Baton Rouge, its
new president.
Its aim will be to make useful cit
liens Of the negro boys and girls
to make them better farmers, better
bricklayers, better carpenters, bet
ter cooks. It will train the negro in
the field in which his activities and
efforts can be of help and benefit to
himself and the white race.
A negro who can farm intelligent
ly, lay brick properly, or drive nail
straight, is a better citizen for the
community than the crap-shooting,
concentrating negro who lives off
the wages of some negro cook.
"Of course an industrial school To-
Gated in a parish won't eliminate this
character of negro, but it will, in
time, reduce his number and render
him less a disturbing factor in the

Eight Bales on seven Acres.

about six miles west of Warren.

SUGAR TRUST PROSECUTIONS.
CONTINUED from page one.)

siona1 legislation to exclude high
grades of foreign sugars from the
country, and then by the misplaced
sympathy of Presidents Roosevelt an6
Taft was granted a practical monop-
oily of Cuba by the so-called reciproc-
ity treaty, is one Of the most won
derful instances of ski1lfuI manipu-
lation of congress and Of the executive
officers of the government that the
world has ever seen. The sugar trust
was comparatively Indifferent as to
the prices Of sugars SO long as they
could create and control a wide mar
gin of profit for themselves in the
process Of refining alone. In doing
this they have broken down the SUI
gar markets of the world to an I'M
paralleled low level, while every 9th
er known staple commodity is higher
than in former years. The Standard
Oil Company and the steel trust have
not hesitated to crush out competi-
ton at any cost when they thought
such crushing was desirable. The
American Sugar Refining Company
has followed a different course and
while mercilessly crushing out all
competition, it held prices of sugar
down because of the practical cooper
alton of the United States governm ent
with the sugar trust in the exclusion
OF high-grade foreign sugars and in
the monopoly of Cuban sugars they
effected in securing the reciprocity
treaty. These influences reacted up
on the sugar markets of the world,
depressing them, every depression in
turn again aiding the sugar trust in
its nefarious actions.
whether Or not Messrs. Wogan
Brothers can establish the accuracy
of the many charges they make and
bring their own losses directly to the
doors of the American Sugar Refining
Company, is a matter that remains
to be determined by the federal courts
and it will be learned in due course,
but the fact is the American Sugar
Refining Company has in every in
stance in so far as we know in it's con-
tests with the general government
been found either guilty of actual
crime Or Of such errors Of Judgment
Or intention as to damage other par
Ties, and the corporation has been COM
PEELED to pay immense sums in par
tlal reparation at least of these evil
deeds.

Big Dividends in Happiness and
Courage.

Following is an extract from a re-
markable Christmas editorial in the
December Woman's Home Companion:
AT this particular moment the
whole United States is more inter
ested in making ready for Christmas
than in anything else in the world.
The children, the young men and
women, the fathers and mothers,
the old, the richa the poor, are all
busy with plans which they hope will
add something to the flood of good
wishes and good will which never
tails to pour over the world on every
Christmas morning. Dc we do any
thing finer than this the whole year
through? Nothing finer and nothing
which pays bigger dividends of hap
plness, OF courage and of faith"

Advice For the Profitable Production

seldom is the growing Of hogs for
slaughter source OF profit unless
proper grazing and feeding methods
ara followed.
In the spring, summer, and fall
there are many crops for pasturing
hogs, but during the winter the crops
to select from are limited. On al
most every farm the production and
Keeping OF hogs in winter is expen-
slve, and generally it is not profitable
for the reason that large quantities
OF corn are fed without products of
green crops. More winter grazing is
needed, for which many crops are
adapted. The most reliable are,
however, rape, rye, oats, wheat, and
barley. It is not too late to plant
these crops and in most sections of
the south this is the best season.
For grazing purposes these pastur,
ing crops for hogs should be soWn on
specially well drained and prepared
land that is either rich or has re-
ceived a liberal application of ma
nure. Good winter pasturage is not
obtained except on the best-drained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy to in
sure a thorough planting The young
plants will grow slowly in the winter
and many plants will be needed to
furnish plenty of pasture. Crimson
clover will do well with rape, rye,
oats, wheat and barley, and will mean
an improvement on the land

OFFICIAL SCANDAL
STARTS BOILING
LEO MEYER ARRESTED ON PER-
JURY cHARGE-FoRGERY RE
vlVED AGAINST FARRlS.
(From The Oklahoman)

Oklahoma's official scandal is now
under good headway. Monday saw
the following developments:
State Auditor Leo Meyer was ar
rested upon complaint of Attorney
General West charging perjury, and
the charge of forgery against State
Printer Giles Farris was revived.
The house committee on impeach-
ment and removal held long exec
utive session at which Attorney Cen
eral West made a statement of his
charges against State Printer Giles
w. Farris, and State Printer Giles
w. Farris filed formal answer to
the attorney generals charges, al
leging that the latter is himself
liable to impeachment for the methods
he is following in attempting to
prosecute others.
The house of representatives ap-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-01-21

pointed a special committee of three,
Representatives Curry, Halsell and
Parkhurst, to take up the charges
Of "prodigality" on the part of the
attorney general in handling the
$4,000 he is alleged to have spent
in his department since statehood.
The house committee on judiciary,
to whom have gone the forty-odd
investigating" resolutions introduced
in that body, are hard at work in
the meantime, and now are expected
to report any day, and 1t is under
stood that most general and thor
ough investigation of several depart
ments, at least, will be recommend
ed also the manner in which in
vestigations should be made. There
is less likelihood now than a few
days ago that this report will be
sensational, due to the fact that the
proceedings before the committee on
Impeachment and removal has drawn
much Of the fire.
Procedure Considered. -. :.
There was nothing given out as to
what occurred at the executive ses-
sion of the impeachment committee
Monday forenoon, except thatp lans
of procedure were tentatively sug-
gested, and that Attorney General
West made a long statement, but not
under oath, as. to what he expects
to prove to the committee. Chair
man John p. Crawford stated Mon
day afternoon that the committee
will probably start taking testimony
1t is the desire of the
to first get full power
to summon and compel the attend
ance of witnesses, etc, before be-
the impeachment hearings.
The resolution by Representative
Curry was passed by the house after
a motion to refer to the judiciary
had been defeated and motion to
table also lost. The author allowed
the exclusion of the words ''unspeak-
able prod.gality," which was the
pharse used in the resolution at
first to characterize the manner the
attorney general had been handling
his contingent account
During the debate on the resolu
ton, Representative Morris arose to
a point of personal privilege to take
exception to quotation attributed
to Attorney General West to the
effect that the resolutions directed
at him by Representative Morris and
Others had ''been inspired by State
Auditor Leo Meyer" Representative
Morris said that such was not the
case; that the platform upon which
he had been sent to the legislature
pledged him to the very line Of pro-
cedure relative to Investigations and
criticisms of prodigality in office he
was following.
Reply Of Farris.
The formal reply of State Printer
Giles w. Farris to the accusations
by Attorney General West was filed
with Chairman Crawford of the i'm
committee and severely
the attorney general, not
only for taking his causes to the
legislature after he had failed toI
make case in the courts, but
challenges his own record in office
N language at times as oratorical as
sweeping.
