SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
THE PLEA OF FIELDS.


Personally. we nave always had a
very high regard for John Fields as q
man, In the past we have considered
him as fine type Of citizen, straightfor-
ward, sincere and free from dema-
goguery. 1t is, therefore, with regret
that we see him STOPPING TO make a
kind OF campaign which compels us to
revise our opinion Of him.
II more unadulterated demagoguery
was ever embodied in a speech than
was contained in the one made by MI
Fields here Monday, 1T has escaped
our attention. Why has Mr.. Fields de-
scended to such level? We must con
clude that 1t is the result of the evil
associations among which he has
fallen since he accepted the call Of the
discredited gang OF Republican stand
patters to become their candidate for
governor. Having cast his lot with
this type of politicians he has latuf-
ally fallen in with their methods. In
other words, he finds it impossible
to rise above the character of the
party leaders whom Col. Roosevelt,
following the crime Of the Chicago
convention, branded with the title,
political crook and other choice
epithets.
Viewed as a whole, the Fields
speech here must be regarded as an
appeal to ignorance, bristling with
blatant demagoguery and slander OF his
opponents. Mr. Fields knows that the
men whom he is denouncing as a band
Of pirates and knayes are as honor
able and honest as any crowd that his
party or any other party could possibly
put before the public. His calm as
sumption OF superior private and polit-
ical virtues for himself and his asso-
ciates and his effort to convince his
hearers that Judge r. l.. Williams and
his associates on the Democratic
ticket are corrupt office seekers with
no higher purpose than public loot, is
SO absurd that it seems waste of
words to point out the demagoguery
of it. The fact that Mr.. Fields is an
educated man, college bred, seems to
have lead him to presume unwarrant-
ably upon the ignorance Of the people
Eof Oklahoma. The voters of this
county know how to read and 1t Is
foolish to attempt to deceive them by
Misrepresentation of the Democratic
record in this state.
Perhaps no one point in the Fields
speech illustrates its general charac-
ter better than his references to the
state primary election law which, he

In one wild dash he takes, the grade
And lands right in the big parade.
At this distance it looks like all the
atrocities in the war are being com
mitted by the other fellow.
Il
A half holiday being in sight, the
school kids no doubt heartily endorse
the parade idea.
Why doesn't somebody make a hit
by giving trading stamps that will go

ST Simp says he notices that the
farmer always gets more for his cot
ton when the price is high.
Personally, we propose TO give sogne
particular attention to that portion OF
the parade in which the college girls
figure.
However, it is doubtful whether st.
Peter will rule that obituaries are adj
missible testimony when our case
comes before his court
But with some women it Is ctnsid
erably harder to cut the line of con-
versation than for the allies to cut the
Germans communication.
Mr.. Bryan points to the unwilling
ness of all the nations to take the
blame for starting the war as an in
dioation of the progress toward gen
eral peace. In other words, starting
q war is no longer means Of gaining
popularity among civilized peoples.

Now the interesting question for the
voter is: If Mr. Fields. who<is the
candidate of a party that was discred-
tied in Oklahoma even in territorial
days and has since been repndiated b.
a large part OF it's followers in the ma
tion at large, is capable Of resorting to
such tactics as he is using in this cam
paign. is there any reason 10 believe
that he is man of such superior yir-
tues and talents that he could be trust
ed to redeem Oklahoma from the aw-
full condition which he claims the state
has fallen into? We think the contrary
is true.

BOYS BANTER CAUSES
DEATH BY POISON

Labelled "Wine."

Braddyville, Ia, Sept. 19.-Jesse

FIGHT WITH DESPERATION.

On the Battle Front (By way Of
Paris), Sept. 19.-The gigantic bat
tie, or more properly, battles, con-
continue day and night along the
entire front from Noyon to the
frontier. The fighting does not con-
sist of one sustained and combined
movement, but in reality is several
combats proceeding necessarily at
the strongest points of the Germans
defending line along the River
Aisne.
Each encounter, however. instan-
ces the execution of the intention of
the commander-in-chief of the allies.
Attacks and counter attacks follow
one another in rapid succession ev-
cry hour out of the twenty-four.
During the night of Sept. 1916
the Germans attempted formidable
movement in the western sphere but
were met by the French and British
with courage that was marvellous
against overwhelming odds. The
Germans returned to the attack no
fewer than ten times with remark
able tenacity and intrepidity but
were unable to break through the
firm line presented by the allies in
fantry.
The fight just before daybreak
was the most violent of all. The
Germans appeared to throw into the
charge all that remained of their en-
ergy, but were rolled back with
enormous losses. Before retiring be-
hind their big guns they sacrificed
many of their number, displaying
resolution which approached desper-
alton. A vigorous counter attack
from the allies ensued, during which
a small extent of ground was gain
ed.
Thursday night was relatively
calm along the front, but yesterday
the fighting became more furious
than ever. During the darkness OPP
erations are rendered difficult, ow-
ing to the reluctance of the oppos-
ing commanders to use searchlights,
which might expose their positions.
After this stage of the fight was
concluded the Germans appeared to
retire about seven miles. During
the combat the adversaries in many
instances came hand to hand
clashes and the bayonet was extern
sively used. The carnage was ter
rifying, but the troops of both arm
les appear to have been hardened to
such sacrifices and fought with
great GOODNESS.

Bloodhounds have been sent to Liv-

were killed as result Of the de-
railing of Alabama Great Southern
passenger train No. 2 early yester-

switch, swerver and crashed into a
gondola loaded with Stag, which was
standing on a side track. The mail

three sleepers were wrecked. Three
other sleepers remained on the track.
Four unidentified white men, a

DEADLY MUSHROOM
MAKES annual VISIT
Poisonous Fungus Which Killed Two
Persons Reappears on Ami
versary of Death.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 1.-Two
years after the death of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Butler of this city from
eating poisonous mushrooms a mush-
room has made it's second appear
ance in tree planted by Mr.. But
Ter, and which was the favorite tree
of the couple.
The mushroom first made its ap-
pearance year ago this week.
which was the anniversary of the
death Of the couple. It grew in
decayed portion of the tree, and is
of a species little known in this sec
ton.
Mr.. Butler found the mushrooms
and brought them home. Both par
took of them, and within couple Of
days Mrs. Butler was dead. Her hus-
band lived day or two longer.
A year after neighbors were sur
prised to find growing in the tree a
beautiful mushroom of the species
which caused the death of the But
lers. Now a year later the mush
room has appeared again, springing
up just two years from the date of
the death of the couple.

COUNCILMAN GOING
after PAVING TRUST
Des Moines Official Wants Open
Specifications and Fair
Competition.

Des Moines Capital: Councilman
w. F. Mitchell is ready to take his
first wallop at Des Moines' paving
trust.
He is going before the council and
ask for an open specification on
asphalt paving. He declares he is
going to fight for it if necessary.
For years the citys specifications
for asphalt paving have called for
Trinidad lake asphalt, otherwise
known to city engineers as grade A
asphalt.
One firm has a corner on Trinidad
lake asphalt, always has had a
corner on it and has kept out legi-
innate competition. This firm is
therefore in position, says Mitch
ell, to dictate it's own price for as
phalt paving.
The continual endeayor CT this
firm and it's workers, according to
Mr.. Mitchell, is to make city officials
and the public believe that to get
good asphalt paving Trinidad lake
asphalt is the one and only product
that can do it.
Mr.. Mitchell has just returned
from Denver. He made an investi-
cation of asphalt paving conditions
J. hot ho :
an open specification-one that al
lows any asphalt to be used just as
long as it meets the tests required
in the specifications.
Denver has good paving, Mr..
Mitchell declares, and has had rep
utation among cities for having
good paving. But it is hard to find
any Trinidad lake asphalt in the
city, Mitchell declares.
The open specification as Mr..
Mitchell proposes would permit any
contractor who can produce asphalt
that will stand the test outlined in
the general specifications to put in
his bid against the firm that has a
corner on Trinidad lake asphalt.
"The price cannot help but go
down." said Mr.. Mitchell. 1--WE are
paying too much for paving here in
Des Moines. In Denver the city
gets a curb and gutter thirty
inches wide for So cents yard,
while we pay from 33 to 3S cents a
yard for curb alone. They pay SLAB
a yard for asphalt paving in Den
yer. We pay much more than that.
Why? 1t is time the city got busy
and found out"

WOMAN PROVES
HER BRAVERY
Throws Searchlight on freed Bruin
and Male Companion shoots
Him.

Spokane, WASH, Sept. 19.-While
Miss Margaret Mckenzie fearlessly
held a searchlight so that it's rays
were cast on 200 pound black bear
which had been driven up tree by
a pack of dogs, Frank Lee Of Hayden
Lake fired the shot which ended
bruins life.
The daring of Miss Mckenzie was
the talk of the summer colony at
Lees Point, at Hayden Lake, Sun
day. It was known Saturday that a
bear was prowling about the point,
and when the barking Of the dogs
was heard at p. m. Sunday, Lee and
James Buchane armed themselves
with rifles and asked if any one
wished to accompany them, and Miss
Mckenzie, who is a guest of Mrs.
Lee, quickly volunteered. Realizing
the danger of the enterprise, the
men tried to dissuade her, but Miss
Mckenzie urged that she be allowed
to go.
When they neared the tree in
which the bear had taken refuge the
electric searchlight was given to
Miss Mckenzie. She turned its rays
full on the bear, and one well placed
shot from Lees rifle brought it to
the ground dead.

The other Uhlan was wounded and

Commander Sampson is one of the
most efficient of the navys flying
men, many of whom are now work

shows that the British, like the Ger
mans, have armored cars with which
to chase scouting parties.
Reports received from Petrograd
yesterday say that the Russian pur-
suit of the Austrians continues and
that the Russians have gained i'm
portant successes over the Austrian
rear guard. Conveys of two army
corps with thirty guns and ammun-
ition and 5000 prisoners are said to
have been captured. The whole Of
the Austro-Russian border between
Yusevoff and Annapol is reported to

patch, an army of 100000 Russians
is marching into central Poland, fol-
lowed by another army of 100000,
while third army, also aggregating
100000, is coming from more dis
tant regions and will reach the
front in October.
There already are said to be q
million Russians in Galicia and a
half million in East Prussia. While
these numbers are enormous, they
are considered probably fair esti-
mate of what Russia soon will have
available for her war. 1t is said she
will soon have 100000 men on the
move.
