Gathered into this national Gene

Of the men who fought out in the
constitutional questions insoluble by
other processes, and now the gov.
ernment has set this great and beau
tif,Il building to stand like senti-
mel on the banks CT the Potomac, and
to view for all time the capital Of
the reunited nation.
Time has thrown its softening in
fluences over the controversy. Time
has eliminated the bitterness which
they aroused, but time has only serv-
ed to magnify the heroic valor OF
the captains and men who fought in
the great fight. AS the nation arose,
reunited. it found itself engrossed
with n great tradition. In these lat
ter days that tradition has nerved
the arms of millions OF Americans
called upon to vindicate upon for
political liberty.
Who shall say whence the strength
came of these matchless men? From
every corner Of our great country
they came with one thought; that of
devotion to the pure purpose for
which their country called them. They
lived among our allies and faced the
foe as soldiers from the new world
should, conscious Of their strength,
confident of their cause, alike unset.

to think that in our hour of triumph
unseen, but potent, there stood be-
side them the spirits Of the great
dead, the spirits Of those who origin
ally rescued America from the politi-
cal tyrannies of the old world, and
dedicated and kept here free and
just.
II cannot attend the ceremony Of
this dedication but my heart is there
and with my fellow countrymen,
everywhere, l join in recognition
Of the great virtues which this me-

thanks to the God of nations that he
has made it possible for us in this

is still baptised with a spirit OF her

SENATOR OWEN SAYS
A HIGHER INTEREST RATE
DESTROY C0NF|DEX CT

Washington, May Ex-senator Owen,
democrat, Oklahoma. has made public
a letter TO Governor Harding Of the
federal reserve board in which he
disagreed with the views recently ex-
pressed by the governor that increased
discount rates ordered by the reserve
board did not tend to reduce liberty
bond prices.
'If money was cheap and credits
We're available at low rates." said
Senator Owen, it is perfectly obvious
that these bonds would go to par,
and just to that degree that the
banks Of the country raise the rates
to very high artificial figures, to that
degree the liberty bonds and
bonds will assuredly fall in market
value
High interest rates on call money,
the senator declared, threaten public
confidence and industrial depression.

STORM WRECKED TOWN
Of PEGGS OKLAHOMA
NOT TO Be REBUILT I

Pegs, Okla, May l5.-Thls seclud'
ed little inland village in Cherokee
county, torn and twisted by lorna
dc on the night of Sunday, May 2,
in which 61 inhabitants Of the village
lost their lives, will not be rebuilt.
Such is the opinion Of the survivors,
who say they viii move to Tahlequah,
Locust Grove and other nearby towns.
In the days Of the Cherokee ma.
ton in Indian territorial days, the
log cabin of Thomas Pegg was built
at the border Of a small prairie sur
rounded by forest Of huge oaks.
Thomas Pegg was captain of COM
pany Of Cherokee soldiers in Union
regiment during the Civil war. He
was delegate to Washington on
behalf of the nation, he Is buried In
the congressional burial ground.
For many years this section bore
the name Of Pegg's prairie. With
the passing Of the Indian government,
the place where the pioneer built
his log cabin became the site Of a
village. The place WAS known as
Peggs. The town was once incorpor.
ated but the expense of municipal
government proved too onerous and
the corporation was allowed to lapse.
Peggs always remained n village OF
about 250 population, with its tele-
pnonc exchange. few stores, homes
and school house of concrete blocks.

ADMIRAL SIMS CHARGE
THAT A LACK OF PLANS
CRIPPLED THE NAVY IS
FALSE SAYS DANIELS

Washington, May Is. - Secretary
Daniels today attacked Rear Admiral
Sims charge that the navy depart
ment lacked plans and otherwise was
unprepared for war. Tho charge was
"unfounded and wanton," he told the
senate and that testimony Of Rear
Admiral Badger and other members
Of the general board had proven such
statements unfounded.
Mr.. Daniels described in detail the
organization and operation of the
general board to show that for years
before the war, the board was en-
gagged in preparing and revising plans
for naval battle in the Atlantic. Ad-
miral Dewey had studied the situa-
ton from the outbreak of the Euro
pean war and in March, 1915, had for
warded statement CT preparations
necessary to put the department in
readiness for war, Mr.. Daniels said,
which was Immediately approved by
him The navy department followed
the Dewey outline as far as con-
gress would permit" Mr.. Daniels de-
clared. Declaring that several wit
nesses having no first hand knowl-
edge of the navy's part in the world
war" had attempted TO show by 60
ing back as far as 1913. that the
navy before the war failed in prepara
ton because the secretary and con-
gress did not follow their advice in
1913, and 1914" Mr.. Daniels reviewed
at length his administration and his
recoinmendaticns 10 congress from
1913 on. Incidentally, he told the
committee that when he assumed his
post he found the navy under Presi-
dent Taft had fallen back" as the
United States, which had advanced
to second place among naval powers
in 1907 dropped back to third in 1911.
Between March, 1913, and Sep.
tember, 1916, the navy was increased
in personnel, material and efficiency
more than in any similar peace peri
cd in our history" said the secre-
tary.
The pre-war attitude of the United
States towards preparedness was
shown by President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress in 1906 declaring
that "it does not seem to me neces'
sary that the navy shouldn't least
in the immediate future--be increased
beyond the present number Of its
units" said Mr. Daniels. President
both forced TO take this position they
did toward naval building by public
opinion, the witness said. adding that
President Wilson was in advance Of
public opinion, when he sponsored the
building program of 1916,

FRAUDULENT RUBBER CO.
CAU CHIT BY P. 0. AGENT

Muskogee, Okla, May &c. f.
Harris and ]. d. Clifton, officers Of
the American Tire and Rubber Com
pany, were arrested by federal au-
thorities this afternoon following n
raid by post office inspectors on
their office, at 226 Harris building.
The men are charged with using
the mails to defraud by operating
stock selling scheme. 1t is charged
by the federal officers that stock
is being sold by the company all
over Oklahoma on the representa-
ton that it has factory in opera
ton here that manufactures automo-
bile tires. inner tubes, rubber heels
and other rubber goods.
The purchaser of stock is told
that he will receive discount Of
all tires he needs for his own car,
This, it is said, is an inducement
TO sell the stock.
"The company has no factory"
said II, l.. Clampitt, post office in
spector, I'VE found that they had
an option on q tract of land here
but that has been cancelled"
When a purchaser Of stock sends
in for tire at the discount rate,
the tire is purchased from a local
jobber. and sent to him. A tire is
picked that has no name, and is
purchased at a discount from the
local jobber so that the promoters
lose no money by the transaction.
Five men are kept on the road
selling stock II is said. The ar
resting officers said there was about
worth Of rubber goods m tie
company's office.
The officers seized all the books
and literature Of the company. They
have not yet been able to ascertain
the extent of the alleged swindle.
