be done. That's why.
And because it is SO much
easier for a man of his type to
sling mud and play the dema-
gogue in an effort to prejudice
and mislead the people, he re-
sorted to his natural inclina-
tho of mudslinging in prefer
ence to an intelligent discus
sion Of any real issues that
might arise.
The highest recognition of
Mr.. Moore's ability, and a
mark of his standing and in
fluence as a member of the
legislature, is shown by the fact
that while a member of that
body he served on some of the
most important committees in
the House; among them being
the judiciary Committee, the
Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, the Committee
on Charitable Institutions, the
Committee on Railroads, and
other important committees
TO whom practically all the inn
portant bills are referred.
Mr.. Moore performed a last
ing service to the farmers of
the state by framing and secur-
ing the passage of the present
anti-futures law which prevents
gambling in cotton, grain and
other agricultural products in
Arkansas.
This act alone should cause
every farmer in independence
county to rally to his support.
He has fully proven that he is
a friend Of the farmer, and is
a friend whose friendship is
worth something to them.
Mr.. Moore was instrumental
in the passage Of a number of
other good and wholesome
laws, and not single time was
his vote cast against the best
interests Of the common peo-
pie.
Mr.. Moore's ability and in
tegrity are unquestioned, and
his presence in the legislature
would be worth something to
independence county.He should
be given the hearty support,not
only Of every Democrat but of
every right thinking citizen of
the county. regardless of par
y affiliations. who stands for
the high-minded things neces-
sary for the material progress
of our county and state.

People who claim that Act

Moore's Record Stands
Closest Investigation

The voters of independence
county should not be misled by
the false and slanderous
charges that are being circula-
ted against Hon. S. 4. Moore,
one of the Democratic nomi-
nees for representative.
These false reports were
manufactured especially for
campaign purposes and are alb
solutely without foundation.
If the charges that are being
made against Mr.. Moore were
true, they would have come to
light long ago.
The county has no better
citizens than S. A. Moore. Peo-
pie who have been intimately
associated with him since he
came to the county, and those
who have had business rel
ations with him, readily testify
to this fact.
The dirty attack that is be-
ing made upon him by the soc
ialist candidate is beneath the
dignity of man of legislative
caliber.
A man who will stoop to
such mud-slinging methods is
not capable of intelligentlyrep-
resenting the people Of hide
pendence county.
If those Of that disconnected
element who are supporting
the Socialist ticket are sincere
in their desire to bring about
any reforms or secure any re-
medal legislation, they stand
in worse attitude with that
ticket elected than they are
now.
A Socialist in the legislature
from independence county
would result in Independence
county being denied anything
and everything it might seek.
A man Of mediocre ability
and antagonistic to the domi-
nant party, would be worse
than no representative in the
legislature.
1t requires a man of some
ability to accomplish anything
in the legislature.
Fortunately, both of the
Democratic nominees are men
of experience in legislativemat-
tiers, each having served term
as representatives in the Cen
eral Assembly, and both have
splendid records to theircredit.
Why did not the Socialist
candidate attack Mr.. Moore's
record in the legislature, if it
was not in accord with the best
interests of the people, instead
of STOPPING to the contemplate
methods of the mudslinger, in
an endeavor to besmirch Mr..
Moore's personal character?

BUFFALO BILL IS
 AGAIN OUR GUEST
Famous Indian Fighter Healthier
 With 1O1 Ranch Show

Colonel William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill" the original and only bison hunter on public ex- hibition, cowboys, coWgirls, Indians Mexicans, United States cavalry and artillery, cowboy bands, gauchos, cos sacks and others among the rough riding fraternity of the world, part and parcel of the 101 Ranch outfit occupy the city today and have held it prisoner since ' a. m. this morning when the vanguard of the only Wild West show rolled into the Commercial street freight yards. 1 Young New Britain has not enjoyed such a day since Companies E and I of the First Regiment, c. N. G., boarded coaches in the selfsame freight yard and were hauled away to Mantle and later to Nogales, Arizona, for border duty and whatever may develop along the Mexi- can front.
 The younger element which alone judges the Wild West at it's true value, was up this morning at and before 4 o'clock to witness the arrival of Buffa- To Bill and the lesser stars of the last frontier. That the survivor of the Lit tie Big Horn and countless other bat ties with wild Indians and wilder white men was a bit late in pulling into town only whetted their appetites and when a long drawn-out shriek shortly before the o'clock whistles announced that the 101 Ranch outfit was in the suburbs a burst of shrill cheers was forthcoming.
 A few moments later big mogul puffed it's way over the Elm street crossing and there followed a rush for the Commercial street siding where without loss of time the outfit began detraining. From the thirty cars, flat, box and passenger, the denizens of the wild and woOlly slowly and methodically demounted or debOuched according to- the section of the war zone from which one halls. It took an hour to reach Rentschler's park and more than two hours to prepare for the street parade, for which Young America and all the family had by this time prepared, but when 1t came there was no call for apologies or adverse remarks.
 Right behind an escort of United States cavalry at the very head of the great pageant, in an original western car7.iaa reminiscent of the plains and pioneer days, rode Colonel Will

BLISS ID BORDER
 TO BLOCK SCANDAL
Will Probe Accommodations Given
 National Guard in Southwest

Washington, July 12.-To prevent any possible recurrence of the scan
 dal that arose during the Cuban war
 over the provisioning and treatment of militia forces the war department has ordered Major General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff to the Mexican border to make a thorough inspection of conditions and to make
 certain that everything possible is done for the health and comfort of the Guardsmen."
 Already criticism has been 1irect- ed against the war department for the accommodations and treatment accorded some of the militia units on the trip to the border. The depart ment has stoutly defended it's action,
 claiming that the accommodations given the men were the best obtain able that they were far superior to those given troops in any other co IT, try in the world and better than those given American troops in the Cuoan campaign.
 The department realizes that such criticism Is bound to come, and it expects, in fact that it will in crease as the period of service for the guardsmen on the border length
 ems out
 Here is the announcement of the war department regarding the mis-
 sion of Major General Bliss:
 General Bliss leaves this afternoon
 for an inspection trip of the militia troops on the border. The object of
 the inspection Is to insure that every
 thing possible under the ci:cum-
 stances is being done for the health and comfort of the guardsmen. He
 is accompanied by Major Nolan of the general staff
 The House has adopted a resolu-
 tion offered by Representative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania cal ling upon the secretary of war to fur nish certain information relative to the conditions under which the militia were transported to the border. MT. Moore alleged that these conditions were not what they ought to be, and offered the resolution.
 Before the resolution was adopted it was amended by Representative August P. Gardner of Massachusetts, so as to call upon the president Tor information relative to the number Of guardsmen in New Mexico. Texas and Arizona who did not respond to the
 call for duty.
 Press reports have reached Wash
 ington telling of the practical con-
 fscation by the Carranza government
 of the Babricora ranch properties in
 Chihuahua. Until a direct report of
 this is made to the department by
 the owners of the ranch no action can
 be taken, but then the department
 will protest, as it has done in all
 such instances.
 Tampico reports of the shooting of two American sailors by Carranz1sta soldiers were denied at the navy de- | partment. The report was believed

FITzGERALD DEFIES
 'BLACkMAIL' CROWD
Says He Cannot Be COerCed Into Payoring Panama Appropriation

Washington, July 12-In vigor- ous statement, charging political blackmail, Representative John J Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of the House Committee on Appro- pr1ations, announced yesterday that he was opposed strongly to new quar- ters for Panama Canal employees or bonus, for the canal workmen, and that he would not approve those measures, although certain alleged labor leaders had informed him that they would organize opposition in his district because of his adverse in fuence. In his statement, MT. Fitz- gerald says
 Some time ago I was informed that unless I agreed to obtain certain appropriations for the employees of the Panama Canal an effort would be made to organize certain forces to inJure me politically. I de- clined to be coerced in the perform ance of my public duties or to submit to such species of blackmail. During the construction period of the canal the compensation of the employees was as much as seventy-flve per cent. in
 
 services in the United States, and in addition they were furnished with quarters, light, heat and many other services free"
 MT. Fitzgerald has opposed the large appropriation proposed for new quarters because he believes they are not necessary and because the con- struction period of the canal is ended, and the amount of rent asked for the present quarters is exceedingly fiber al, as compared with other houses of similar size. His statement in part continues:-
 "The permanent organization of the canal became effective April l. 1914. Out of the large number of employees, a very limited number were selected for life positions. Under the law their compensation was to be twenty-five per cent. in excess of the compensation paid for similar services in the United States.
 About two years ago 1t was pro- posed that a very large expenditure be made for new quarters for the en- ployes. Over S2,OO00O has been ex- pended. The quarters consist of con- crete two and four family houses. The two family houses cost $24,0O and the four family houses S20,000 each. An apartm ent in the former costs $17 per month. in the latter $14 per month.
 ''The rent was fixed to cover the cost of maintaining the houses, re- pairs, water, garbage collection, light and janttor services.
 ''That the rent is very moderate Is further apparent from the fact that a single room in the city of Panama costs s5 a week. while the apart ments provided for the canal employ es consist of a sitting room, dining room with range. two bedrooms. a bathroom, and laundry in the lower part of the house.
 "Em ployes of the canal are enraged at me because ] will not vote to pay them a bonus for their services. It will take $9,00o,000 to pay such @ bonus They have been well treated, and I shall not favor such measures"

jam F. Cody, himself, accompanied by his friend of years Vice President H. c. Noble of North 6S Judas. The famous New Britain saddlery concern has furnished Colonel Cody with sets of silver spurs for more than a gener- ation and the survivor of the days of Kit Carson never fOrgets that a royal welcome awaits his arrival in the Hardware City.

In these times of stress and strife It was all very suggestive of what Uncle
  habitants of Senor Carranza's republic beyond the Rio Grande provided they make just one more mistake of the kind that happened at Carrizal The temperature was just 90 degrees when the cavalcade turned into Main street and that was another reminder of the kind of weather the boys down in Nogales are contending with but when Colonel Cody, the cowboys and cow girls and their redskin friends could pretend that nothing unusual was being experienced why Young New Britain and his friends were not go- ing to be outdone by a little heat, not much.
 Following the time-worn route and concluding with the time-honored cal Hope, the parade was witnessed by thousands of sweltering citizens in cluding all the younger members of the family from Johnnie who got up at a. m. to Baby Sue who reviewed the great and departing spectacle of another age from the vantage of a perambulatOr.
 Cody Guest of Noble.
 Colonel Cody, who has known and been personal friend of MT Noble for many years, in fact since the for mer was government scout and ac- tive on the western plains, was his guest at luncheon at the New Britain club today. The party was composed of Colonel Cody, II. C. Noble, reSidc cnt managers of the branch sales offices of North & Judas, who Were here on a visit, and a number of their prom inent Salesmen.
 Colonel Cody extended an invitation to Mir, Noble to go on a hunting trip in the northwest next November and it was accepted.

 Accused Men Tell All.
 Well talk. We'll plead guilty, but go light on us. It is a go?" That was the substance of the message which they sent. Representatives of the District Attorneys office had a long talk with Red Levine and his pal. The result was a long statement which step by step unfolded one of the most amazing recitals of under world history
 Their confessions were thoroughly investigated. The fact that they had the reputation of being police inform CTS and of their own part in the sys- tenn of grating presented a serious question whether the stories could be verified. Corroboration, however, is believed to have been obtained.
 Last night it was said that the police department was about to ex- perience a shake-up that would in volve a number of policemen and would again show that the system built up before Becker's time, but so successfully used by him, had again gripped some of the policemen who had been given the confidence of Police Commissioner Woods.
 Swann Silent on Case.
 District Attorney Swann would not throw any light on the arrest of En- right. It was learned, however, that Deputy Assistant District Attorney Smith and an agent of the Society for the Prevention of Crime have been working on the case for some time. It was learned that MT. Swann had had a talk with Enright a few hours be- fore he was arrested.
 Friends of Enright last night main tained that his arrest was the result of frame-up. This was the cry that raised.
 ''Why, they've nothing on me-" he said. They tried to do it before but it didn't work. and it won't this tirne.''

Detectives Samuel Bamforth and Andrew J. Richardson made clever arrest today when they brought Devoy Wilcox to headquarters on charge. of having stolen some carpenters tools from Wexler and Stein at a. building on Arch street.
 Investigations at Bessie Feingolds pawnshop this morning showed that the stolen tools had been paWned there yesterday by a man who gave the name of Ferguson. She gave description of the man and it tallied with that of Wilcox, who had been previously arrested for stealing a watch from a vacant house on Park street. The detectives found Wilcox on the street and charged him with the theft.
 Although Wilcox denies all know ledge of the theft, the pawnbroker had identified him as the man who secured the loan from her, the police say. He will be given a hearing in police court tomorrow morning.
