LOBBY PROBE CHAIRMAN
Tennessee Member a Parliamen-
tartan at School.

taTldu AZ 1cn0Ol.
Washington. Aug. 26.--Fortune ha
smiled on Congressman Finis J. Gar
rett. Of the Ninth Tennessee district, il
many ways since he began his Congress
sionaI career nine years ago. but in nt
sense has be been as fortunate as dur
ing the present session Of Congress.
Devious and varied are the routes BY
which members Of the great House body
come into prominence. but with Mr..
Garrett the route has been straight and
certain. The first thing be learned when
be reached Washington was that when
the electric bell that is installed ia the
Office OF each member rings three times
il is the summons to get into his seat.
For eight and balf years he has been
hustling over TO the House and getting
into his seat on time in response to that
magic call, and he has been remaining
there until the bell rang out adjourn
ment. When principal Of the Como
High School in 1897, and teacher il
the Milan High School. he was free
with homiIies about procrastination be-
ing the thief Of time, etc, and when
be reached Washington lie lived up to
that philosophy.
But it was as member OF the old
Callelogian Society at Bethel College,
Mckenzie, Tenn, that Mr.. Garrett
found he could tangle up every boy in.
the society on parliamentary proceed
ure, and that gift, endowment, clever
ness, or whatever you desire to. call it,
followed him into the House where ii
has been nurtured, until it gave him
the highest honor outside Of the major
Ity leadership at shis session presi-
dent pro tempore Of the House as a
committee Of the whole upon the state
OF the union, during the considera-
ton Of 4he Underwood bill. There be
had great opportunity TO display bis
distinguished ability as parliamenta-
rian, and his complete and thorough
knowledge Of the intricate rules 81 the
House. During all Of The sessions,
Speaker Champ Clark loaied about the
House chamber, listened to the debate,
and congratulated Mr.. Garrett on his
ability TO handle the JOB, because Garrett
worked the throttle without bobble.
During the two weeks be has been
chairman Of the House lobby probe,
Mr.. Garrett has presided with tact, can
dor and fairness. The usual pickering,
cross firing and bannying that charac-
Lerized the Senate committee has not
been heard before the House commit
lee. Whether the star was Mulhall,
Or some chief lieutenant Of
subaltern Of the erstwhile lobby, the
Witnesses had a square deal as had the
'insiduous lobby" and the interests Of
he administration.
Before beginn:ng the work OF the
committee, Mr.. Garrett addressed let
or to every member OF Congress ask
ng for suggestions, clues. traces o. tcsti-
nony, direct, hearsay Or otherwise, and
70 is fortified for the arduous task be-
ore him. Mr.. Garrett will be 3s years
Id next Tuesday. Aug 26, and few are
be men who have graced the halls Of
congress or been recipients Of public
onors, who have distinguished them.

Over 200 Liquor Cases.

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. pa mass Of
evidence in ever 200 cases, mostly in
tvolving alleged violations of the fed
eral laws relative to the introduction
of liquor into Indian country, is being
prepared in the offices of the United
states marshal and district attorney
here for presentation to the federal
grand jury at Chickasha, on Nov. G.
Never before in the history of old
Indian territory, now eastern Oklaho-
ma, have so many cases been prepar-
ed in such a short time. Arrests on
the various charges cover a period
of only two months, most of those ar
rested having been bound over by
United States Commissioners under
bond. Not all however have regain
ed their liberty, as ninety-eight per
sons are now confined in the federal
Jail here awaiting trial or serving
short sentences.
Most of the cases are the result Of
a campaign to suppress liquor traffic
in Five Tribes country by United
States Marshal B. A. Enloe Jr., and
his deputies.

RESC|ND ORDER
TO MOVE BRIDGE
PETITION OF CITIZENS YESTER-
DAY READ BEFORE BOARD AND
THEIR PRAYER GRANTED.

Some time ago the board of county
commissioners issued an order to
move the bridge over Buzzard creek
five miles north of the city, to a place
several miles farther east over Dead
Mans Creek, between Springer and
Berwyn, but the citizens living in
that vicinity protested against the re-
moval of the bridge and yesterday
presented protest to the commits
sioners that was acted upon fayorably
to them. If the bridge was moved, It
would necessitate their gcins several
miles out of their way in order to get
to Ardmore, and as this was and al
ways has been their market town, they
wanted the bridge to remain where it
is. The county commissioners stated
that they had been misinforned about
this matter and were led to believe
that the bridge was useless at its pres
ent location and We're preparing to
utilize IT, when the citizens protest
came, and they were pleased TO grant
their prayer.

Stories Told by Animals Ears.

II you ever see a rabbit running.
notice its ears, and you will see thai
they are laid back flat on its neck.
That is not a chance position, nor is
it due to the weight Of the ears;
it is a provision of nature for the
little animals protection. 1t is one
Of the hunted, you see. and not one
of the hunters.
Ii IS different with the fox and the
wolf their ears as they run are
thrust sharply forward. for they are
of the hunters. AS the rabbit must
run away to escape danger, its enc
mics are always behind it, and there
fore nature has given it large ears
10 catch every sound and the habit
'of throwing them back, because its
danger comes from that direction.
AS the fox and the wolf must run
after their prey, nature has given
them the habit OF thrusting their
ears forward.
Just now careful nature is in
these matters and how she suits
conditions to surroundings may be
seen IN the jackrabbit of the west
ern prairies. 1t is the natural prey
of the wolf, and, as it is in more
danger than our rabbits are, its ears
have been made a good deal larger
ami longer, the better to hear the
sounds made by its enemy.
You have seen horse thrusts his
ears forward quickly when anything
startles him; that is his instructive
to catch every sound of a
threatening nature. A deg raises
his ears in a similar way.-Presby-
terrain Examiner.
