assistant secretary Of the department
Of commerce and labor, who is out

policies in the west.
Mr.. McHarg handled vigorously the
subject of the ''uplift" movement, de-

farmers. was an insult to the finest

There is enough timber standing in

said.
Vast supplies remain in other states,
said the assistant secretary, sufficient
to maintain a supply for a much long
err period which could not and need not
be estimated. The abundance of the
forests was such that the alarmist
statements as to the approaching ex-

When J. c. Mohler. assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, left on his tour of
Europe in the early part of the summer
it was raining hard in Topeka about
five days out of every week and the
Kaw was threatening to leave it's banks.
When Mohler was in Venice a Few
weeks ago he sent Secretary Coburn
postcard scene of that city of canals
and wrote a line on the card to state
that the place pleasantly reminded him
of Topeka
When Monler returned this week the
secretary dryiy asked him If Topeka
still reminded him of Venice. DO you
see," continued Secretary Coburn In
fine vein OF sarcasm, ANY Venetian as
Mohler was forced to admit that he
did not.
Jesse Leach, d former Topeka news
paper man, now publisher of the Bar
tlesville, Ok, Enterprise, was a state
house visitor this week. Leach is pros
porous and looks the part, for he has
gained about 25 pounds since leaving
Kansas. When asked about Oklahoma
politics and what chance Joe McNeal
(brother of our Tom) had to win the
Republican gubernatorial nomination IN
that state he gave a rather interest
ing account of how the G. O. r lead
ers conduct the party affairs in the new
state.
They are trying to run things down
there" replied Leach. like the Repub-
lican leaders do in Mississippi, Louisl-

to say, keep the membership in the

there may be federal offices for all the

You see. the weaker the party, the
fewer the leaders and the longer their

This style of graft is all right for
the inner circle but it is hard on the

Republicans will conduct successful

will quickly gain in strength and

will be able to meet the Democrats on

Just because Oklahoma is located on
the Texas and Arkansas borders is no
reason why it should be classed as a
southern state and the Republican
party throttled there right from the be-
ginning. There are too many eastern
