PLEA FOR
MILITIA
ON BORDER

Special to the Express.
Washington, Dec. 15.-Scott Ferris
is making an effort to have the Okla
homa guardsmen sent home from the
border by the first Of the year. With
this object in view he has addressed
appeals to Gen, Funston, commanding
the troops on the border Brig. Gen
eral William A. Mann. head Of the MI
litia bureau. Major General Hugh
Scott. chief of staff, and Secretary Of
war Baker Ills letter to the latter
avs as follows:
MY dear Mr.. Secretary:
appeal to you partially on behalf Of
the employers of members Of the Ok
lahoma militia on the border and par
TALLY on behalf of the militiamen
themselves, and want to urge you with
all the earnestness I have at my COM
mand to permit their withdrawal from
the border between now and January
1, 1917. The situation in a word, Mr..
Secretary, is simply this:
The employers OF militiamen have
carried the latter on the payrols and
have held their positions open for
them throughout all the present calen.
dar year, but they are unwilling to
continue this procedure and unwil-
ling to retain substitute employees and
carry the militiamen on the payrolls
longer than January /. 1917 Unless
the boys on the border are permitted
to return home in the meantime and
resume their old positions which have
been held open for them all this time.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1916-12-15

it will work a great hardship upon
the mand infIict a greater injury upon
them than they ought to be compelled
to endure.
Many of the militiamen when they
went to the border left little private
businesses behind them and these
have almost gone to rack and ruin.
The appeals that come to me from the
employers and the parents of the boys
and others are so insistent that they
cannot be longer ignored.
AS you are aware, our boys were
sent to the border July 10. To keep
them longer, unless there be greater
emergency than now apparently exists,
would have the efefct of making our
boys on future occasions unwilling to
become militiamen and it would have
bad effect all around.
WIN you not, please, at the earliest
POSSIBLE moment, consider the advisa-
bility Of their withdrawal from the
border, and see if it cannot be brought
about prior to January J. 1917, SO that
the boys may on the first Of the new
year return to their old positions
If any formal application or formal or
del is required in their behalf, |
should be glad to make it for them.
So many of them l know personally,
so many Of their conditions | am well
acquainted with that | most earnestly
urge you to let them return home
Very respectfully yours, (Signed).
Scott Feffis.

MEMBERS OF BAND
SURPRISED AT PRACTICE

The band was suddenly shaken
during its weekly practice Friday
evening by the appearance of
strange figures clothed in white
and wearing masks Of ghostly
appearance. Immediately dis
order reigned and Prof. Hopkins
lost control.
The word was passed that each
bandman was to pick out his wife
and then the fun began. After
that the whole company re-
paired to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hopkins where the GHOSTS
served a satisfying lunch OF
coffee, cake and ice cream.
Mr.. Hopkins enlivened the sup
per by his famous humble bee
and chicken stories. Home,
Sweet Home" was played all too
soon and the bandmen departed
thankful to their secret-keeping
wives.

the Office herself and without the
assistance of a deputy or any
other assistance, except for pos
sibly two months at tax collect
ing time. This means a saving
to the county of about nine
hundred dollars a year.
All these things are admitted
and the only answer to these ar
guments is that the candidates
are women. The objectors hold
that a woman has no right to
public Office, if the Office is such
that a man can hold it. We can
not agree with that line of rea-
sOning. Nearly one half of the
voters Of the state are women and
they are equally entitled to fill
the Offices if equally honest and
capable.
OF the twenty-six candidates
on the two county tickets these
two are the only women. They
are admitted to be honest, cap
able and efficient and yet are be-
ing opposed because they are
women. This is not just or fair
to the candidates or to the women
of the county.

Capture Two
Trunks OF Liquor
SANSOM IS HELD FOR BOOTLECCING
Tries To Escape Officers By Jumping Into River
IS Taken To COeur dAIene

Andrew r.. SAMSON, living in a
boat house near the Lewiston
Box Factory, was arrested Sat
.urday evening on the charge of
bootlegging, the arrest being
made by Chief of Police Steele.
The officers have suspected
SAMSON for several months but
have been unable to get any di-
rect evidence against him. They
have made a practice of watch
ing the trains closely for par
.cels which might contain liquor
and Saturday two trunks were
checked here which they we're
sure contained liquor and so kept
watch over them. That evening
la drayman presented checks for
the trunks and was at once put
under arrest.
His stories as TO who gave him
the checks did not agree but
finally Officer Steele secured an
admission that the trunks be-
lOnged to SAMSON. Steele swore
out a warrant for SansOm's ar
rest and getting Sheriff Leaf pro-
.ceeded to SnsOm's boat house.
Leaf knocked on the door and
asked for SAMSON but was told
he was not at home. Leaf re-
piled that it was known that ne
was there and he could not get
away as the house was surround
ed. While this conversation
was going on Steele, who was
Watching the back door saw San
som come out, walk along a log,
jump into the river and start to
swim upstream.
The officers followed along the
bank and when SAMSON left the
river steele placed him under ar
rest and took him to the county
Jail.
Monday SAMSON was taken be-
fore the probate judge where he
waived examination and was
bound over to the district court
for trial, his bonds being fixed at
100000. He stated his desire
to plead guilty to the charge and
to begin serving his sentence at
once and today was taken to
COeur d'Alene to appear before
the judge for that purpose.

FORTY CARLOADS OF BOXES WANTED
Many Improvements To Factory. E. |. Clark
Returns From East

E. L. Clark of the Valentine
Clark Co. returned Friday from
a business trip to Minneapolis
and other cities in the middle
west. Mrs. Clark, who has been
Visiting in Minneapolis, returned
with him as did l.. A. Furlong,
vice-president Of the company.
Mr.. Furlong exp bets to remain
here about a week.
While away Mr.. Clark took one
order for forty carloads of boxes
to be Manufactured by the st.
Maries Modern Box Factory, of
which he is the president and
principal stockholder. The box
es are to be used in shipping
canned goods. The first delivery
on this contract must be made
! by December ist and the entire
forty carloads must be finished
and shipped by May ist.
The company is now employ
ing about thirty men in the fac
tory. Mr.. Clark states that Ia
Dor is very scarce. He finds it
next to impossible to get efficient
men who can be depended upon
to stay any length of time as
wages are good and the men keep
moving around.
Mr.. Clark has been making a
great many Improvement at the
plant since he purchased it a
few months ago. Two thousand
dollars have been expended in
improving the water front of the
property alone. Piling have been
driven along the front in the
river and heavy planking nailed
to them and it is proposed to fl
in between the planking and the
bank and then put planking or
top, thus making a good dock il
front of the property, which will
also serve as a dyke to proven
overflow.
Mr.. Clark has also made man.
