The Epworth League of the First
Methodist church of Oklahoma City
has just passed resolutions declaring
that "the enforcement of law" in that
city, ''for several years has been an
insult to common decency." Same old
complaint And that complaint will
continue to be heard, just so long as
law runs ahead of public opinion.
Whether we like it or not, ours is a
government by public opinion, and not
of laws, and law is powerless to create
public opinion. So long as the ma
jority in any community desire liquor,
so long will state wide prohibition
continue to be a breeder of lawless-
ness.

The late Hon. David Davis once
said. Each year every local paper
gives from $100 to $4,000 in free lines
for the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other agency
can or will do this. The local editor,
in proportion to his means, does more
for his town than any other ten men,
and in fairness, man with man, he
ought to be supported. not because you
happen to like him or admire his
writings; but because local paper is
the best investment community can
make. 1t may not he brilliant or
crowded with great thoughts, but
financially it is more of a benefit to
a community than a preacher or a
teacher Understand IFS now we dc

of defeating this iniquitous measure,
Haskell would never dare to submit
it to the people. Unless he can get
two-thirds of the votes in each house
to declare IAN emergency" the peo-
pie can get at it with the referendum.
The democrats who are inclined to
insurgency would show themselves
patriots of the highest type if they
would vote against the bill on suffici.
ent numbers to defeat the emergency
clause. In that case the. present bill
would undoubtedly be withdrawn, and
a respectable one substituted for it.

State Gains and Losses.
New York Tribune)

The unevenness of the country's
growth in population in the last decade
| is strikngly exhibited In the census
figures just announced for Iowa, Ala
bama and Florida. These three states
made widely divergent records. Florida,
the smallest grew much the fastest.
Unlike most Of the states reported, its
gain for the decade of 1900-10. was
greater than it's gain for the decade of
, 1s90-190O. F1orida's Increase was 42.1
per cent for the second period. against
35 per cent for the first period. Ala
bama's population increased 16.9 per
cent between 1900 and 1910-about two
ffths as fast as F'oridas did--and the
percentage for the latter decade was
less than the percentage of gain from
1890 TO 1900. which was 900. Iowa
made no gain at all Its population
actually decreased 1852, or o.3 per cent,
! whereas between 1880 and 1900 there
had been an increase Of 1861 per cent.
A decrease in the population of one
of the states has been a rare phenome-

Indiana will dispense with Albert J.
Beveridse, but a prospect Is held out
that he may be turned to account else
where A bold and ingenious professor
in one OF the Iowa colleges has cast his
eye on English procedure In such cases
of rejection and thinks he has found a
solution. If Stoke on Trent won't have
you. you try to get back into parlia-
ment by way of Iverness or of New
castle OnTyne.
Our professor declares that there is
nothing in the federal constitution to
prevent the Iowa legislature from elect
ing Mr.. Beveridge senator provided he
will but declare Iowa his legal resi-
dence. 1t may be presumed, a fortiori.
that there is nothing in the state con :
stitution either Thus Mr.. Beverage
might become the successor OF the late
Senator Dolliver and the forward
movement in the republican party pro-
coed without interruption.
OF course the difference between Ind
lana and Iowa is not abysmal. Both are
middle west and mutually Ineligible.

Opposition or what II known ~ the sn-

tota! Abstainer. but this year. following
the declaration In the Ottumwa plat
form Of hostility to tho mulct law, Mr..
Porter was made the beneficiary Of this
same vote. The early returns were
largely in his favor. Governor Carroll
had other antagonisms to meet. Incl
dental to his official service Most Of
all. the governor had to meet the EN-
barrassment of the fractional quarrel Of
his party. and 1t awaited him little that
he had sought to DO superior to party
differences in the administration Of
the governor soffice. Thousands of
progressives, as the returns indicate,
could not bring themselves to vote for
him, even with Mr.. Porter, who had so
greatly offended, in the race against
him.
A correct analysis Of the result-or
any attempt to make such Analysis
must include the movement led by
Senator Cumnins in the last weeks OF
the campaign In behalf of harmony.
The appeal Of the senator in behnlf OF
the whole ticket doubtless persuaded
many of his faction to give the COVER
nor lift, for 1t was an appeal that was
taken up by interested candidates and
their friends down the line. No doubt
the plea for harmony was effective on
both sides Of the party split and more
than one result IN the state favorable
to the republican party Is attributable
to this cause.
The back counties" are boosting the
Carroll vote, and the worst was over
after the hrst few hours of counting.
1t !s enough to say that Mr.. Porter is

was defeated in his contest Of four
years ago.
