WILSON'S LEADERSHIP.
United States Senator Charles S.
Thomas of Colorado nays:
Who are the great presidents of
the United Slates beginning with
Washington and ending with Wood-
row Wilson? Precisely those who
r.-iLimllnir the public needs anil
keeping in touch with the public con-
science have stamped their individu-
ality and their Influence upon nation-
al legislation; those who perceiving
the need of a given policy have had
the courage to advise? and direct it;
those who have prompted congress to
the performance of their duties as out-
lined in their public declarations and
as demanded by the public needs;
those who liave proven their claim to
leadership by wisely and courageously
asserting it. We need but name) An-
drew Jackson Abraham Lincoln The-
odore Koosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
as types of those presidents who
keeping close to popular sentiment
have counseled wise and needed leg
Islative reforms anil have command
ed because they have earned the pop
ular approval.
1 glory in the fact Unit the presi-
dent of the t'niled Stales knows
what the people want communicales
with congress upon subjects of nalion-
iil concern and reminds ils members
of the duty which rests upon them
and calls upon them to perform it.
The president in calling our intention
to needed legislation keeping us in
communion both with what we wen
elected to accomplish and what popu
lar opinion demands is always abreast
of the times lie is abreast with but
never behind the people and bears
with serene composure that criticism
and denunciation which pronounces
him a tyrant and a usurper and which
reproaches a democratic congress for
complying with and conforming to a
common purpose. It is a happy .cir
cttinstance that we have a ruler who
knows how to rule and a leader who
does not hesitate to lead. Such
man 1 for one am willing to follow
and to aid as my poor abilities will
permit in the observance of a com
mon duty. We have had presidents of
the 1' nlted Slates who have been un
equal to these supreme requirements
Presidents who have misinterpreted
popular sentiment and ran counter to
the declarations upon which they were
elected; and the people always Just
have never failed to relegate such ex
eeutives to the oblivion which they
have justly earned.
So long ns the president of the
United States keeps In close contact
with the people so long ns he seeks
to interpret and obey the popular cx
predion of the popular will so long
as he leads in the development
needed legislation for
the popular
good just so long the people sustain
and just so long will the democratic
congress commend and follow him.
Thus far he has kept the faith and
shows no signs of w eariness in w ell
doing.
Motorcycle as Chaff Cutter.
A fanner at Pantnall. Salop Enf-
lat.d. has fixed his motorcycle on a

ed their church year with the meet-
ing at the church last night. At that

poses. The Sunday school report
showed an average attendance of 256
for the year; and the total offerings
of the Sunday school amounted to
$542.65. The Woman's Aid and Mis-
sionary society under the leadership
of .Mrs. T. A. Thurmond reported n
good year's work. The society col-

On Tuning a Piano.
Many people thin it is an easy
matter to tune a piano but this is
not the case. As celebrated a muHi-
cian as Hans von l'.ulow got into
trouble in New York owing to this
fallacious Idea. He would nut permit
tho Instrument to be tuned lu the
wareroom one of his whims being
that even a tihort removal of a piano
knocks it out of tune. Thcro is of
course a modicum ot train in me
theory. So It was tuned upon the
platform where ho was to perform.
lie stood over the tuner all the time
at intervals emitting groans uuu
strong German language. When tho
task was almost completed he save a
shout and seizing tho wrench began
doing It all over again. In three min-
utes he had the piano so hopelessly
out of gear that It toon three hours
to get it light ut.iin. Hirr von Fu-
low had to nay de.irly for U.Ib exhibi-
tion of it-nofiiiu e.
Married in Overalls.
Wedding ceremonies have been
made the medium of many strange
fancies but it has been left to a
Hishton (England) bridegroom to
stand before the altar with his brido
in motoring overalls. Holh bride and
bridegroom reached the parish church
by motorcycle and tho "5 guests were
conveyed In a similar manner. The
couple were Miss Mary Ferrier and
Mr. Charles Cartwrlght. The proces-
sion of Rally-decorated motorcycles
scurrying along the streets with the
brldai party provided a pleasant spec-
tacle. This motoring marriage is to
bo carried through thoroughly for
even the honeymoon trip to Scotland
will be done lu a cycle and side-car.
All Right Without "Explanation."
"Phase read nie the poem you're
reading mother?'' begged a little boy
sweetly. "Put I'm afraid it's too old
for you. dear" his mother answered.
"I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to
understand it." "Oh yes. 1 would"
was the calm answer "so long as you
didn't try to explain."

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
'disease and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally and
acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
j.mt n mere quack medicine. It was
I prescribed by one of the best physi
cians in the country for years and is
a regular prescription. It Is composed
of the best tonics known combined
with the best blood purifiers acting
directly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two Ingre-
dients is what produces such wonder-

WASHINGTON GARDNER DECRIES
THE DESECRATION OF THE NA-
TIONAL ANTHEM. RECOM-
MENDS HEADQUARTERS.
Detroit Mich. Sept. 3. A plea for
the perpetuation of "The Star Span-
gled Banner" as the American an-
them without alloy was made fer-
vently by Washington Gardner com-
mander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic in his address before
the 4Stli annual encampment of that
organization here today.
He urged the old soldiers to join in
a movement to pay special honor to
this song and to discountenance the
practice of playing It in medley witli
such "flippant and comparatively
meaningless ditties" as "Yankee Doo
dle" and "When Johnnie Comes
Marching Home." He said there was
something inspiring in an audience ris-
ing and standing uncovered at the ma-
jestic strains of tha national anthem
but it was "incongruous bordering
even on the ludicrous" for the band
to strike up some other national air
in medley with this and to observe
the audience resume sitting in "an
irregular half-ashanied manner." It
were better not to rise at all when
the national hymn Is played in med-
ley he said.
A recommendation that permanent
headquarters for the G. A. R. be es-
tablished in Washington was another
point of his address. Chicago and
Philadelphia Intel been proposed but
he preferred the national capital and
thought if possible the necessary
space should be secured in a gov
ernment building where the officers
could keep closely in touch with mat-
ters before congress which affected
the Grand Army.
A standing committee of seven per-
sons with the commander in chief
and adjutant general of the G. A. It.
as ex-officlo members he also rec-
niended principally for the purpose i
of taking charge of all legislation
which had the endorsement of the
order lie said that such a committee
would "concentrate responsibility re-
duce expense and give promise of bet-
ter results."
"As it is now" lie continued "the
committee having to do w ith proposed
legislation number in the aggregate
nearly ten times seven and are wide-
ly separated. It is difficult to have
a general meeting save nt large ex-
pense to the order or to the individ-
uals. Under the present arrange-
ment responsibility is too widely dif
fused and members too rarely brought
together for consultation and concert
of action.
lie urged that no change be made
in the method of management of the
soldiers' homes which nre scattered
throughout the I'nited States. Con-
cerning the matter he said:
"Not a single complaint has come
to the knowledge of the commander
in chief from any member of any
home during this administrative year.
It is known that an effort is being
made to place these homes now un-
der the care and supervision of our
comrades subject to the approval of
the war department Into the custody
of men who never saw military ser-
vice in actual war and whose sympa-
thies are not so likely to be directed
toward our comrades in their declin-
ing years. This seems to be a case
where the old rule 'Let well enough
alone' will apply. This encampment
in my judgment should say to con-
gress that the Grand Army of the Re-
public is decidedly against the pro
posed change."
The present membership in good
standing was reported . as 1713:15.
During the year the roll was curtail-
ed by the deatli of 11.1S7 old soldiers
but notwithstanding this large figure
It is 151 less than died during the
preceding year.

TAKES TRAIL
BIG THIEVES OR LITTLE THIEVES
THEY ALWAYS LAND BEHIND
PRISON BARS WHEN SHERIFF
GETS AFTER THEM.
Buck Garrett's uncanny intuition
which has landed so many thieves
big and little behind prison bars
was again brought into evidence yes-
terday when he returned from Ok-
lahoma City with a valuable diamond
that had been stolen from the resi-
dence of Dr. Potter about two weeks
ago.
Dr. and Mrs. Potter were out riding
in their car when the house was en-
tered and among other valuable jew-
elry taken was a lavalliere set with
a diamond valued at $350. Who the
thief was remained a mystery for
several days although there were
some well-grounded suspicions afloat.
Shortly after this theft Lewis King
a boy about 18 years of age was
placed in jail for the alleged robbery
of a house west of the city. He was
given a preliminary hearing and
held over by the county judge a week
ago. . In the meantime another youth
by the name of Criner was placed
in jail with the charge of robbery
against him and in searching him a
small piece of a bracelet of old gold
was found.
When this was brought to Sheriff
Garrett he had a hunch that it might
in some manner be connected with
the Potter robbery and he showed
the piece to Mrs. Potter who iden-
tified it as a piece of the jewelry
missing from her home. Criner was
admitted to bail and the sheriff took
inim t0 tUsk in the hot sun for over
tliree hours without getting much
information out of hhn. He- was fin-
ally told that he was going back
to jail on suspicion anyway and when
once more within the walls he told
the sheriff that ho was ready to make
a confession and stated that young
Kjng na( given him the diamond to
dispose of after taking it from its
setting and that he sold it to one
Hilly Edwards for $:0.0D. Criner and
King were to divide the spoils but
Criner failed to live up to his part
of the agreement and blowed in
the whole amount himself in a "big
time" about town.
Edwards had left the city and the
sheriff took the train for Oklahoma
City where he located . him in a
resort with the diamond on his finger.
The sheriff took him to one side and
made his mission known. Edwards
was inclined to argue the case until
hw found there was but one side to
the argument. The sheriff informed
him at the start that ho was going
to take the ring back to Ardmore
with him and that too without his
person if he saw fit to give it up
peacefully. He being an innocent
purchaser but if he thought best
the ring and Edwards both would be
in Carter county on the first train.
Edwards stated that if the sheriff
was going to put the argument in
.iof Hunt he would surrender the
ring and go back to Ardmore with
him and try to recover the money
from Criner.
Kinc. in the meantime did not es
cape the grilling that the sheriff had
already given Criner and from three
o'clock in the afternoon until late
into the night King was subjected
to the searching interrogations of the
sheriff who at last elicited the de-
sired information from King. He
confessed the whole thing and told
the sheriff where the rest of the
jewelry was hidden.
This morning Sheriff Garrett went
to the place designated by King and
secured all of the missing Jewelry
consisting of a cross and chain a
Shriners' and class pin and the
rest of the bracelet that gave the
clue to the capture. The only thing
missing at present is the pendant
from which the diamond was taken
and the chain which it Is stated
was thrown into a sewer manhole.
Sheriff Garrett stated this morning
that King would plead guilty to the
robbery and ask the mercy of the
court but as his record has been
pretty bad in the past the chances
are that the court will not be very
lenient.
Criner is also in Jail but as he
has made bond for his arpearance
in the former case the sheriff stated
that he would release him if he would
pay back the $90.00 secured from
Edwards for the sale of the ring.
Dr. Potter stated this morning that
iSheriff Garrett as an officer was the
iwff of any in tbe United States and
the jeople of Carter county should
congratulate themselves at having

After all the question of livable-
ness in any environment is as a rule
one of the temperament and adaptabil-
ity of the individual. This is the opin-
ion of the Journal of the American
Medical association. Americans hare
braved the dreaded tropics with
comparative comfort and remained in
perfect health. Manila and Panama
have lost the terrors of climate while
the far North has become the field of
pleasure seekers. The healthfulness
of an environment urban or suburban
inland or coastwise has become al-
most entirely a question of personal
hygiene and mental satisfaction
coupled with tbe indispensable accom-
panlmeats ot pnblic sanitation.
