OKLAHOMA AND eREER COUNTY.

So far as it is possible to presage the
result of judicial consideration, it may
be safely wagered that the supreme
court of the United States will give
Greer county to Oklahoma rather than
to Texas-that is it will give it to the
United States, which will turn it over
later TO Oklahoma.
Texas has no valid claim to the hand.
as AttorneyGen eral Harmon showed
in his argument before the supreme
court And besides there is a feeling
that Texas is big enough.
Boundary line disputes between the
states are older than the republic itself.
and many of them dating from colonial
days have only been settled within re-
cent times.
New 1ork'S contention with Vermont
lasted nearly a hundred years: its
boundary with Connecticut was not
settled until 1880, and a vexed dispute
with New Jersey as TO the line in Rari-
tan and Princes Bay was not deter
mined until 1884.
OF course everybody is familiar with
Mason and DixOn's line that establish
ed the boundary between Pennsylvania
ON the north and Maryland and Vir-
ginia on the south, and which subse-
quenty became 4 sort of ideal line be-
tween the north and south throughout
the whole extent of the Union Ii was
run by London surveyors brought over
for the purpose. and it prevented con
tentiOns between the colonists under
Penn and the coloniStS under Lord Bal
timore.
The boundary line between Virginia |
and Maryland was not agreed upon I'M !
I'll many years later. and was not fin |
ally settled until 1882.

situations. The monthly flop of the
Gillian cabinet, the new moon assass-
ination of the Ecquador president, the
perennial Brazilian revolution would
all become our immediate concern. As
warning the Monroe doctrine is
beautiful idea. To vindieate and ex-
ecute it means trouble and lots of it
and then some.
So Cleveland is not the man to DEM
onstrate that doctrine. He hasn't the
fight in him 10 do it successfully. and
it is better perhaps that he has let it
alone, knowing too that his admins
tratfon would be branded as weak and
cowardly.
The impulse for war will continue TO
grow. In two more years it will put
a president in the chair who will repre-
sent the full depth of it's patriotic ardor
and then-well, if any European nation
go as far as some of them have with
Cleveland, the fur will fly.

GREAT WASTE OF oZoNE.

During the long political campaigns
which follow one on the others heels
in this country, the thought must occur
to great many good honest souls that
there is a tremendous volume of good
breathing ozone wasted.
1t is not known who is responsible for
it, but there appears to be a notion
abroad that few minutes conyei'sa-
ton with a man of opposite political
faith from yourself will convert him to
your way of thinking. And yet in all
the argument that devastateS the land,
in all the street corner conflicts, in all
the bitter front-porch controversies, it
can be said that hardly one man out
of thousand is ever changed. If a
man is a Democrat, he resists any at
tempt to prOSelyte on the part of
Republican. The most original argu-
ment a Democrat, ON the other hand,
can use to change a Republican into a
Democrat, that Republican has heard
probably a dozen times before, and if
the argument has any effect, it is to
strengthen the Republican convictions
of the Republicans. The truth is that
opposing partisans do not convert each
other. Men who have been allied To q
party for years do not break away
hastily or at the suggestion and direc
tion of the enemy. Desertion from
party usually comes from deep thought
and reflection without argument. When
two partisans are ready to change,
each may help the other to do it and
they may leave the party together, but
an opposing partisan who would ad-
wise either of them would probably
drive them back.
1t is along this line that partisan |
who is out of line with his party is SO
harmful and so hated by strict political |
But Democrats and |
orators and conversationalists /
can never change each other by extern |
poraneous argument and they ought
to quit trying.

IF YOU WANT WAR-WAIT.

Putting the jokes at Eugene Wares
expense aside, and going outside the

tional public feeling. there can be no
hesitation in coming to the conclusion
that the great American impulse at
this moment is for war.
There is national unrest. The
church is breaking into politics, and
in some localities the politicians are
just as zealously breaking into the
church. Our finances are mixed.
Prosperity at any early period is de-
SPARED of, individual benefit unhoped

monster was the result of i fall and
an injury to his hip.
Although he is very old, the country
wishes him still longer life, and rejoiceS
that his injury was not of the fatal
kind.
1.-The old Roman" as Thurman is
reverently and affectionately styled by
his political admirers, was born in
Lynchburg, Va, on Nov. -, 1913. His
father was Baptist clergyman and a
slave owner, but became early in life
impressed with sentiments against
slavery. He removed with his family
to Chillicothe, o., in 1919, where he Sc
cured employment as a school teacher,
and his son became ON of his pupils.
Later young Allen attended the Chilli
cothe high school, and afterward was a
student in the academy of that town.
He was proficient in all his studies, but
especially advanced in mathematics,
on which account he was known among
his school fellows as ''right-angled, tri-

the half-sister of William Allen, who
during his life served in the house Of
representatives in congress, 1882, IN
the senate in congress, 1S37-1S49, and
as governor OF Ohio, 1S741S16, and in
1S4S refused the Democratic presiden-

was committed to the support Of Geb-
