Few Sheriffs Re-nominated.

In the entire state of Oklahoma it
is said that scarcely ten sheriffs
who stood for reelection were nom
inted by the people. There is no
doubt but that this condition was
brought about by the laws against
the sale of liquor. In places where
the law was enforced the people
thought they wanted something dir
ferent and in other counties where
it was not enforced the sheriff was
rendered unpopular as an officer.
The same trouble will exist as long
as the laws intended TO prohibit the
sale of whsikey remains on the stat
ute books of the state The defeated
sheriffs may suffer some humiliation
but their defeat was not brought
about because as men they are less

BALLlNeER's ULTIMATUM.

Coming away from a meeting OF
the English ministry Premier Glad
stone was once asked if the session
had been a pleasant one, TO which
he smilingly replied that it had
been an exceedingly pleasant one.
that four designations had been &C
ceDted.
II the New York Evening Post is
correct this should apply to the cab
met conditions in America.
Ii may not be that certain mem
bers have been guilty of any partic-
ular offense, but they have become
most unpopular with the country.
The feeling against B&4inger has
been steadily growing ever since 1t
Lecame generally known that the
Pinchot-Ballinger investigating com
Inittee intended to apply the usual
coat of whitewash.
II is further related that in re-
ply to an interviewer Secretary Bal
hnger stated that it would require
an order from the president to in
duce him to resign he has himself
removed II. This very belligerent at
titude that he has assumed, the
threat that it would require an or
der from the president TO induce
him 10 retire, is the final evidence
necessary TO show that he is not
the man for the place.
Any member Of the cabinet who
finds that his growing unpopularity
is lnjuI1ng the influence of the ad-
ministration should retire However
competent the cabinet officer may
be, if he finds that his party is be
ing criticised, ana the president also,
because he does not withdraw, he
should be required to do So It shows
that he has a selfish personal in.
terest in his own behalf. and little
for the party which he is supposed
TO serve.

shows what kind of man he is
