Cured in heav. ga, despite which
the entire crew wa. wed before the

The King Edward Vll represented
an investment of nearly 100000

On the west and east fronts there
have been no developments of large

that the Germans have completed the
recapture of positions on Hartmanns-

few days before Christmas.

WOULD bE: NEXT
CO. TREASURER
SAGE OF JOINER CITY SAYS HIS
HAT is IN THE RING AND HE
WILL BE THERE WITH BELLS
ON WHEN CAMPAIGN STARTS.

! Have you heard the rumbling noises
| from the vicinity of Joiner City? No,
it is not the escaping gas from an-
other big "Gasser," but the booming
clarion voice of Uncle w. T. Wise
man who is proclaiming in thunder
Gus tones that he has his "lid' in the
ring, and is going to make the race
for county treasurer of Carter county,
state of Oklahoma. This little re
minder is going to inject some ginger
in race that every one thought would
be one-man affair. The Squire" who
is one of those Tennesseans who make
politics by moonlight, has been a resi-
dent of what is now Carter County
for number of years. and ever since
the dawn of statehood, has held the
office of Justice Of the peace of his pre-
cinct. He is a campaigner who is not
afraid to invade the precincts of the
enemy, he seldom comes out second
best in any sort of an argument re-
ligious or political, and when he rises
to address a few brief remarks, the
audience begins to sit up and take
stock of the rustic orator who can
point moral or adorn a tale.
The Squire" has been a war horse
in Carter County politics ever since
the 46th star was added to the galaxy
of states. When the party was in peril
of defeat, he would take off his coat,
call to the boys from the forks of the
creek to follow his lead, and soon the
socialist banner that flaunts more or
less regularly in his neighborhood
would be trailing in the dust. With his
entrance into the campaign some sure
enough campaigning will be done, and
this race will probably develop into
one of the most interesting of any in
the county.

SATURDAY THE COMMITTEE
MADE MATERIAL REDUCTION IN
ONE CLAIM - DEMAND FAIR
PLAY.

There is quite a difference between
fifteeen or eighteen thousand dollars
and seyenty-iye pieces of that de.
nomination, but that is what the citi-
zens' committee awarded one claim
ant against the Santa Fe Railroad
company for personal injury damages
as a result of the recent explosion
The committee has had The case
under adyisement for several DAYS,
and after hearing all the testimony
in the case, decided that scynnty-fivc
dollars was about the right award
to make, although the applicant for
damages had estimated various csti-
mated various amounts from fifteen
to eighteen thousand dollars.
The committee finished all cases
pending until the 2jth of the month
and adjourned until that time Satur-
day afternoon. The claim agents of
the railway are in the city and are
rapidly disposing of all remaining
cases. 1t is estimated that the citi-
zens' committee will dispose of all
remaining cases when it reconvenes
January %.
Up to date, the Santa Fe has paid
out nearly one million dollars, which
does not include its own losses. All
this has been done without litigation,
which has established a precedent un-
heard of in the annals of railroading.
The citizens committee has remained
steadfast in its determination to see
fair play throughout all the matter,
and one who has left his case in the
hands of this committee has just
cause for complaint

PROMINENT
JOURNALIST
PASSES ON
LORD BURNHAM, PROPRIETOR OF
OLD LONDON PAPER, ANSWERS
FINAL ROLL CALL ONE OF
OLD SCHOOL.

London, Jan. 10.-Lord Burnham
died here Sunday afternoon after a
prolonged illness.
Lord Burnham, the proprietor OF
the Daily Telegraph, was the last of
the old school of London newspaper
owners. Through his working years,
from young manhood to an older age
than most men remain in harness,
he controlled the business affairs and
the editorial policies of that paper.
He made it one of the greatest prop
critics among newspapers, as well as a
great paper from the news stand
point. Born Edward Levy, on Decem-
Der 2S, 1888, oldest of a family of
eight children of j. NJ. Levy, he as
sumed, in 1875, the surname of his
uncle, Lionel Lawson, and was Ed
ward Levy-Lawson. On October 10,
1892, he was created a barOnet, and
on July 81, 1903, was raised to the
peerage as Baron Burnham. His title
was taken from the Hundred of
Burnham, Bucks, which contains most
of the Hall Barn estate which was
his country seat.
On the occasion of his eightieth
birthday, in 1913, the journalists of
Great Britain paid remarkable trib-
ute of their respect. A large delega-
ton headed by Lord Northcliffe, Wis
tied Lord Burnham's country house
and presented an address to the dean
of newspaper proprietors, which was
signed by all the leading British news
paper men. Messages of congratula-
tions were sent by the king and queen
by many public men and organiza-
tions, and kilograms of congratula-
tion came from all parts of the world.
The career Of the proprietor of
the Daily Telegraph was one of hard
work and steady advancement from
small beginning. After an academic
schooling at the University College
School in London, where he won sew
eral prizes, he was given the choice
between entering London University
or joining his father in busines. He
selected the latter pursuit. His faith
er was head of a printing firm and in
1885 had acquired a small newspaper.
The Daily Telegraph and Courier.
Young Levy was given charge Of this
property in 1855 and spent his life
in developing it into a great news
paper. In that year the paper was
reduced from two pence to a penny
two cents) and was the first London
daily paper at that price, which it
has maintained to the present day,
although all London competitors with
the exception of two sell now for
one cent. The STAMP tax" which
was a heavy handicap upon English
newspapers, had recently been re-
pealed, but the paper duty" another
burden. remained, and Lord Burnham
played an important part in securing
its abolition.
In those days the leading editorial,
known as the leader was the most
important feature of British paper,
