FORMER WIDOWS
OF CIVIL WAR VETS
Secretary Of Interior Renders Inter.
esting Opinion Upon Their Status.

Secretary Of Interior Renders Infer.
esting Opinion Upon Their Status.
Washington, Aug. 19.-The secre-
tary of the interior has just rendered
a very interesting opinion relating to
former widows Of veterans Of the
civil war.
Under The act of May 1, 1920, such
q widow, must show that all subseuuent
marriages have been dissolved and, in
case of divorce, that the same was OBJ
tanned without default on her part.
The records Of the courts of the va
rlous states, both under the act Of 1920.
and prior legislation, have been ac-
ceDted by the bureau of pensions as
conclusive where the husband obtain
ed the divorce from the wife, as show
ing fault on the part Of the wife.
Ihe secretary now rules, however,
that where the husband moved into
some other state than that where the
wife resided and obtained service by
publication, and there is nothing in
the record to show actual service on
the wife, the wife would be entitled to
make showing that she was not at
fault and that such showing could be
made in the pension bureau itself.
The case in which the decision was
rendered is that Of Mary NJ, as form
Ter widow Of William Keaton, who died
In 1879. Several years afterward the
widow married a man named Irwin,
In Missouri, Irwin subsequently moved
to Oklahoma, and in 1903 obtained a
divorce without knowledge on the part
of his wife.
Under the former practice, the
widow would be denied the pension be-
cause the husband obtained the e.
vorce. Under the present ruling, the
widow will be entitled to make a show
ing, as matter Of fact, that she was
not at fault.
Another interesting opinion of the
secretary is in the reversal Of de-
cision Of the bureau OF pensions and
the permission Of pension to Clai-
borne Beatty, OF Captain David Beaty's
independent company OF scouts.
Captain David Beatty organized his
scouts in 1862, and the company rem
dered service under the command OF
the army of Tennessee through the
|Civil War. The troops, however, were
never mustered into the regular mill
tary service OF the United States, and
consequently the scouts had no status
under the pension laws.
In 1870 however, an act was
passed for the relief of Beaty's scouts
igiving them the same status as other
soldiers. The pension bureau, never
theless, held for many years that this
did not permit of pensions to the
scouts, except as to prior legislation
Secretary. Fall has now decided that
under the language Of that act the
benefits OF the pension laws, whether
passed prior to that time or since
come within the purview OF that act
and that the scouts are entitled to re.
lief hereunder.

Bill Bell Holds Barracks To
Four Hits And Sevilles Win
Pitchers Battle By 2 To l
Sanchez and Bond Drive In Runs
Allen Smith Hits Triple

Bill Bell was in excellent form yes
terday afternoon and the Sevilles de-
feated the Barracks by to 1. Bell al
lowed only four hits and struck out
nine men.
Pate Also Good
Chris Pate pitched for the Baracas
and, although he was touched for
eight hits, he kept them fairly well
scattered. The Baraca fielders gave
their pitcher splendid support.
Allen Smith hit three Dagger while
Bond made a double and single. The
Barracks pulled off two double plays.
How Runs Were Made
The Sevilles scored their first run
lin the second inning when Reilly sin
gled, stole second and scored on Bonds
single. They added one more in the
fifth. Pinney singled, stole second ran
wild to third and crossed the plate
when Sanchez singled with two out.
The Barracks got their only run in the
third inning on Jeudevine's hit past
third base and Allen Smiths triple.
In the last inning Craddock lived on
an error, ran wild to second, stole
third and with Hernandez at bat was
out trying to steal home.
Slight Misunderstanding
Some of the fans seem to think that
more than six innings could be played
every afternoon and object to the cur
tailed game. However at the beginning
of the season the teams agreed that
after July Is only six innings would
be played and are only living up to
their agreement. .-r
The Navy and Baracas will play this
afternoon and good game is expect
ed as the Sailors are fighting hard for
first place which is at present occu-
pied by the Sevilles.

A CoNSTABULARY

The manner in which the plans
for the organization Of state con-
stabulary in Oklahoma are mater
islizing should be most gratifying
20 all citizens Of the state who are
desirous Of having the remnant Of
lawlessness which remains forever
eliminated. Occurrences during the
pas, year in various sections Of
Oklahoma have indicated that an
organization such as a state con.
s,abulsy is an absolute necessity.
The movement for the establish.
ment Of such a force was sponsored
BY the Ardmoreite during one OF
these incidents. when it was evi.
dent ths, resident officers were un.
able to cope with local situations,
even though they were apparently
making effort to exercise their au.
,hority and perform their duties.
But these officers were handicapped
by the acquaintance of men who
fail TO realize a crime when they
commit one. and who cannot under
stand why a man whom they inti-
mateiy know would arrest them
for Il. A body of state police. COM
posed of rnsr fso are not residents
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1922-11-23

OF any particular community, and
whose duties would carry them to
all sections OF the state, would
command obedience which local
officers cannot obtain.
The movement for the organiza-
ton of the state force is resultant
of statewide interest created in its
possibilities originally occasioned
by its advocation in the editorial
columns of the Daily Ardmoreite.
During the early days of its dis
cussion, H. B. Fell, OF !Ardmore,
with a realization OF its potential
benefits, also aided in bringing this,
subject to the fore. Papers through
out the state endorsed the idea.
The first material step towards
INSTALLING this movement and plac-
ing it upon a concrete basis, was
taken by Senator John Carlock OF
Ardmore. In statement recently
issued by the senator, he announced
his intention OF introducing at the
next legislature a measure for the
organization of the state force.
In press dispatches, Governor-elect
Walton is quoted as saying that he
will heartily endorse Legislation OF
this character.

VIOLENCE NEEDED

Not infrequently the proponent
OF vigorous Americanization pro-
gram is answered with "Oh, what's
the use? A few foreigners, more
OF less, who don't understand US,
won't hurtl"
There are plenty of patriotic
and sentimental reasons why "a
few more or less" will hurt and
hurt badly. And there are as many
practical reasons. Bolshevism, red
propaganda, sovietism, radicaliSm OF
all kinds, are not spread in America
by AMERICANS, but by foreigners.
Short OF deporting all foreigners,
which is unthinkable in peace times
there is no other plan save that OF
Americanization, which will keep
this the America OF Americans in
stead OF a try-out station for wild
stead OF try-out station for
wild communistic and anarchistic
schemes.
An instance Of the need OF greater
vigilence in Americanization work
is at hand in the funny reports
printed in German papers regard
ing the election. According to
some OF these, President Harding
is about to resign, Governor Smith
OF New York is to become presi-
dent, the prohibition laws were re-
pealed, the entire congress was
turned out Of Office, and new one
installed.
If all German, French, Austria
lian and Polish children in this
country knew OF their own knowl-
elge, from proper Americanization
education, the facts about this
country, it is hardly possible that
their parents and grandparents, in
writing to Europe, could fail to give
true, rather than a false picture
Iof political conditions in this coun-
try. 1t may be argued that it
doesn't make any difference ii Ger
many is told by her newspapers
set OF untruths about our domestic
elections, but that is not the point,
Misrepresentation and misunder-
standing OF one country by an
other, interfere with trade, cause
friction, and sometimes war, and
prevent the spread OF culture and
education, and thus OF civilization.
Not to realize that Americaniza-
ton is as important TO our foreign
children and their parents, as edu-
cation is both 10 them and to
American children, is TO remain un.
conscious Of one OF the vital prob
lens which is today faced by the
land we love.

A Newspaper That Serves
THE CHrCKASHA GAME

Regardless Of their doom, the
little victims play"
So moralized Gray in his Elegy
on Eton College.
The poet was referring TO Rug
by Football, and the risks a boy
runs OF coming out OF the contest
considerably worse for the wear.
In America We have q much
more vigorously contested game
built around the football. In TACT,
our game is OF such q vigorous ma
ture that, instead Of going into II
with linen shirts and knee length
slacks, the players turn ouI with
pads and guards, which, though
cumbersome, often save a player
from painful bruises, and scratches,
il not broken bones.
Tomorrow afternoon T.! Texas
Oklahoma League Park the Ard
more high school football team,
after having won every previous
game OF the season, and having
been scored on only once. will
play its most important game OF
its schedule, when il meets the
high school team from Chickasha.
Popular interest in football is
growing. One reason for this is
that it is looked upon as the cleans
est major sport offered to tho
public Amateur sports are always
cleaner than those run on money,
making basis, where the players
benefis Financially.
One often sees as fine, ii not a
better display Of genuine sports
manship in q high school football
game than he finds in professional
sport, furnished by men who are
playing for the money they get out
OF It.
With good coaching-and Ard
more has been fortunate in that
respect-a boy learns things on the
football field which give him a
sense OF fair play and generosity
that ne holds for lie. He also
learns a measure Of seli-control
and self-denial. 10 doubt i; would
be much pleasanter 10 60 20 pic
ture show or 10 some other amuse-
ment than TO turn out for practice.
There is temptation to eat things
that are on the forbidden list, or
to stay up late at night.
But the football boys practice
abstemiousnes, and 20 through
their regular afternoon workouts
in order to keep in good physical
condition. They do all Of this for
the love Of sport and through a
desire TO see their school rank high
among the schools OF the state in
sthletics.
An important contribution toward
The handing Of the team is fur
nished by boys who do not find a
?lace on the regular lineup, but
who, in practice &c; their share
OF scratches and bruises.
