CORRESPONDENT
MEMBER or THE
NEGRO MILITIA
Young Lady of Durant Learns to Her
Horror and Chagrin That she Has
Been Corresponding With Negro
Member of Northern Militia.

The old warning. oft repeated and
rather time-worn, but nevertheless
true, that a young girl Cor any 9TH
Ell. for that matter) cannot be too
careful as to her associates and her
correspondents, has been proven very
conclusively TO at least one Durant
girl.
All OF us know how the boys pass
ing through on the troop trains,
would drop off little slips of paper
containing their names and address
es. in the hope that some young LADY
might pick them up and through a
sympathetic motive write to them la
ter at their posts and thus form ra-
ther harmless and interesting DIVER
sion in their prosaic camp life.
/ Many of the young lad o7 OF the
city of Durant, as well as those of
other cities through when these
trains have passed, have written to
soldier boys, without harm to either,
and with probable bentfit aud sollce
20 at least the one o nthe Jtuer end
OF the line.
Recently, or about week ago,
gang of ruffian Illinois militiamen
stationed in Texas city, made an
assault upon a white citizen of that
community, and were rather roughly
disciplined by the regulars OF the
army. The affair was enlarged upon
by the press and the name of the
hA hn
members of the negro portion of an
Illinois regiment, and othe, details,
were read with avidity by many, and
viewed with CONSERVATION by one
young lazy of this city.
The soldier boy to whom she had
written Une letter, and from whom
she had received well-wordod and
polite response, was a member Of
the negro company mentioned in the
article in the newspaper report.
Perhaps the rest may be imagined.
The young lady is not in the habit
OF entering into any rhapsodteJ IN
her correspondence, and is not of the
scrt who would be likely to write
anything but a very decorous mis-
sive. But the fact that she has writ
ten to an "off-color" member of the
military arm of the government has
caused her some embarrassment and
her relatives say it is not good judg-
ment to say anything about the mat
ter in her presence.
1t is said that the young lady, or
a friend. picked up the slip of paper
containing the address on the depot
grounds and did not know what sort
of troop train it had been dropped
from.

pancy and development of the lands
that have already been opened to
1ntry or actually patented. The mere
private ownership of land does not
insure successful use of ii. In Ore
gon and Washington alone there are
about 100000 acres of logged-off
acter, now lying idle. In this condi-
tion speculative holding of the land
for higher prices plays a large part.
Another cause is the lack of trans
pOrtation facilities. A settler may
clear land and raise crops upon 1t.
but he is helpless If he cannot mar
ket them There are great areas of
fertile land unused on that account.
In many sections near the national
forests pioneer conditions still exist.
The population is small, and the task
of road-building is beyond the means
no demand for timber, and the re-
ceiptc fro mthe forests which go to
the community are small. The fact
that the public property is not sub
ject to taxation makes such commun-
tiles feel and very justly, that the
forests are not contributing enough
to local development.
This situation should be changed.
Assistance should be given in the
building of roads to bring into pro-
ductive use the resources of such re-
gions. Therefore. the suggestion
contained in the last annual report
| is repeated, that upon a showing of
public necessity appropriations be
made for specific roads and similar
improvements, to be charged against
! the States future share of receipts
fro mthe forests. Such action would
promote the local development of ag-
riculture and other resources
ITO secure the maximum use of
the lands still remaining in Federal
ownership, further legislation is
needed Theer must be a construc-
tive program which will promote de-
velOpment and safeguard public in
terests. The aim should be to make
these properties more useful, avail
able to greater numbers. and effec-
tive instrumental in building up

SHOWERS BOUND
over UNDER A
$4,000 BOND
Charged With Manslaughter as the
Result of the Death of Claude
Smith, Who Died From Wounds
Received at Dance June Sth.

In Justice Shannon's court Thurs
day, Cecil Showers, 17-year-old son
of Jim Showers. was bound over to
await the action of the district court
on a charge of manslaughter as a
result of the killing of Claude Smith.
Young Showers bond was fixed by
Judge Shannon at $4,000, which he
furnished and was released.
On the night of June 8th. a dance
was held at the home of Lige West,
at Yarnaby Several of the young
men had been drinking at the time,
it is said, and during a drunken row
that followed Smith was wounded
by pistol bullet, alleged to have
been fired by young Showers. 1t was
not thought that Smith was fatally
wounded, but he died suddenly about
thirty days later. Showers had been
arrested for an assault to kill, but
when Smith died the charge was
changed to murder and the examin-
ing trial in Justice Shannon's court
resulted in a charge of manslaugh-
ter. Utterback & Macdonald ap-
peared as counsel for the defendant
while Attorneys Hayes and Mcintosh
assisted in the prosecution of the
case.

Woman,a Attitude Toward Law.

In most cases woman is lawless;
she will obey the law because she is
afraid of it, but she will not respect
it. For her it is always sic volo, sic
jubeO. l suspect that if she had had
a share in making the law she would
not have been like this, for she would
have become aware Of the relation be-
tween law and life. Roughly she tends
to look upon the law as tyrannous if
she does not like it, as protective if
she does like it. Probably there is
little relation between her own moral
impulse, which is generous, and the
law, which is only just. (That is, just
in intention.) This is qualified by the
moral spirit in woman, which increas-
ingly leads her to the view that GER
tain things should be done and others
not be done. But even then it is
likely that at heart woman does
not respect the law; she may respect
what it represents-strength-but not
what it implies-equity. She is in
tinitelt more resellious than man, and
where she has power she infiames the
world in protest. l do not refer to
the militant suffragists, but to wom-
ans general attitude.-W. L. George,
