credit to his statement, which was that
he was out buying land for J. p. Con-

there to meet the check etc AS a
matter of Identification, Phillips in
dorsed the check, but as soon as
Jones left he phoned the Chickasha

neither phoned to McAlester or been
asked to do so.
Officers were now put on Jones'

CLOTHING TO COST MORE

The manufacturers of clothing throughout
the country, who know from experience
what effect the increase in the tariff on
cheap wool and worsted mill by-products
imposed by the new Aldrich-Payne sched-
ule will have. say that during the year be-
ginning next spring wearers of ready-made
clothing in the United States will have to
pay about $120,000,000 more in total for
this grade of clothing than they have paid
this year. Or, if they decline to pay more
for their clothing, they will be Obliged to
accept far lower grade of material, largely
made of shoddy and cotton, which will not
wear more than half as long as the wooden
garments that they have been wearing.
Manufacturers say the prices of the cheaper
grades of ready-made clothing will be ad-
vanced from $3.50 to SIS suit. This in
crease in the cost of clothing will fall upon
the consumer and upon no one else, they
say, for the manufacturer, wholesaler and
retailer, will all fix their prices so as to
make about the same margin of profit as
before.
The purchaser of ready-made clothes
will not begin to feel the increase until
next spring. the manufacturers say, as all
the cloth now being sold, or which has
been already made up into winter clothing,
was bargained for at the prices prevailing
before the new tariff went into effect.

THE JUDICIAL CONTEST IN THIS
UTPNTTIT,

NAbNOA4s
Under the Constitution of this State
judges are elected by the people. Parties
nominate their candidates and the people
make their selection. A non-partisan and
independent judiciary is highly desirable.
In the selection of judge party utilization
may be considered, but it is not paramount.
What the people desire in the judicial office
is man of fairness and impartiality, of
ability and integrity, of honesty of purpose
and of sound judgment, a man who under
stands the law of the State and who has
also practical common sense.
Such man we find in the present chief
judge of this circuit Judge Worthington
was raised on farm. He did the work of
farmers boy. He worked in summer and
studied his books in winter. He taught
school and with his earnings paid his own
way at the law school. He has made his
own way in the world. He knows what it is
to struggle for the support of family. He
is man of the people. The practical
common sense with which he was endowed
by nature, and which has been accentuated
by the practical experiences of his life, is
manifested in the discharge of his duties
as judge. His honesty and integrity have
never been questioned His discharge of
the duties of judge in this circuit has won
for him the encomiums of the members of
this bar and of the people generally His
work as a member of the Court of Appeals
has already gained for him conspicuous
place among the members Of that court.
Should Judge Worthineton be turned
down by the people merely because he is
a Democrat We think not. Should he not
be kept in the position for which by nature
and training he seems so admirably fitted ?
We hope the people of this judicial circuit
will answer with an emphatic YES.
