CHARGE AGAINST THE PRESS

one of the strongest rebukes that
has ever been given pollc'ah lh
this state was handed out to A'tor-
ney General West by the OklahoTAn
after Mr. West was alleged to nave
made the charge three different
times that Judge Williams had PAID
the Oklahoman $4,000 for its sup
mort in his gubernatorial candidacy.
No one knows so well as the news
paper man himself how false are
the charges that a paper has Deeh
bought. When The Ardmoreite was
working day after day in the cam
paign for the repeal Of Article D.
section 9 of the state constitution,
when we were publishing material
that originated in our own Office
and In the editorial rooms of other
papers and after publishing nem
were placing the arguments in cir
culars for free distribution, the
charge was made against us that we
had been bought by the corporations.
The Ardmoreite did not receive one
penny from any source for the work
We thought shacklcs should be tax
en- off our state and whether we
we're right or wrong We did the
work without thinking Of pay. an

Dunn, a writer in the employ of the
infantry association.
Some of the matter referred to is
said to have dealt directly with the
Mexican situation, though much OF
it was made up of interviews win
officers on the movement for larg-
er army and certain reforms in or
ganization-the objects Of the infan-
try association.
Wood Asks for Facts.
In his memorandum to General
Wood, Secretary Garrison said;
please look into the case suffi-
cicntly to ascertain whether it is a
fact that officers of the army are
furnishing information to the news
papers concerning questions of pol
icy that are under discussion be
tween the department and congress,
or any other matters not strictly
within the line of duty of such Of
ficers.
81 feel very strongly that the bes'
interests of the country and of tie
army would be served if officers Of
the army would not indulge in pub
lie debate or discussion, or in any
sort of a public propaganda, with
respect to army matters of 1ebata-
BILE nature.
Il would like to s'iggesc for fn-
lure consideration the formulation of
some regulation which will advise the
officers of the proper attitude which
think they should assume toward
this matter. Please, however, do not
let this delay your reporting on the
immediate question called to your at
tention."
Report is Not Denied.
Il have made inquiry of Major
Johnson, the editor of the infantry
journal with reference to the work
of the infantry association, and find
that it has, and is, employing Mr..
Dunn as an agent i'll the publication
of data relating to the army, with u
view to spreading abroad what is
believed to be valuable information
information which should be in the
hands of the people. | am informed
by Major Johnson that they have
limited the material circulated by
them to that embodying the APPROX
ed policy of the war department.
Major Johnson has been Informed OF
your wishes that all activities of this
sort be terminated, and he has as
sured me that he will take the neces-
sary stc.s to bring about this end.
II will take immediate steps to
present to- you for consideration reg
ulations which will advise the off
GERS Of the army of what the depart
meut considers to be their proper
attitude with reference to discussion

Cats are urban nightingales, sing
on key. Their note is plaintiye be-
cause they are genuine artists, their
luck Is rotten. They turn instinctively
to minor key because the major, or
mousse. key has been turned on them.
They would be pastoral could they but
browse off the heather, but their
tastes are table d'hote and hereditary
sorrows have driven them to milk.
Having destined them for sorrow,
Fate has been consistent and made
them flexible and limp so that they

From the establishment of Lewis,
In Paris, comes another simple and
striking hat for the end Of the sum-
mer. 1t is blocked shape OF hemp

for the wreath OF full-blown pink roses
which extends over the crown and en-
tirely across the hair at the back,
and fiat sash OF ribbon which slips
through slashes in the crown and ter
inmates In bow on the bandeau, the
shape is without decoration. This
model was made for no less a person

whom it is pictured.
No flower is quite SO appropriate
