"KIRK" Home
FROM BIG
MEET
HObnObbed With NabObS
at Atlanta Attend
anCe Large

Leaving Atlanta. Ca. at the close OF
the Southern Commercial Congress
last week. after hobnobbing with Ted
dy r.. and Bill Taft, together with a
job lot Of governors. senators and
"sich like" G. q. kirkpatrick, secre-
tary Of the Chamber Of Commerce
took a little trip to his old home in
Cincinnati and then turned toward
Chickasha. arriving here this morning.
Among the other results Of Kinks
trip is a promise from Gov, Harmon
Of Ohio to visit Chickasha and also
tentative promise from Gov. woodrow
Wilson. Of New Jersey. both Of whom
are now trotting in the presidential
possibility class.
Gov. Harmon said positively that he
would come west to attend the Trans
Mississippi congress in Oklahoma city
next November and that he would also
spend day in chickasha and would
probably accept Kinks invitation for
hunting trip here. Gov Wilson was
not SO certain but he said he hoped
to attend the same meeting. Gov.
Hoke Smith Of Georgia also said he
would attend the ans-AIississippl
meet.
I'm point Of attendance and In char
acter OF men represented on the pro-
gram" the Atlanta congress was a
big success. Perhaps the greatest
speech was that Of Gov Wilson who
was given reception equal to that
accorded either Taft or Roosevelt.
President Taft made a fine speech and
Teddy was also at his best III one Of
his political sermons. Wilson's adj
dress, however, was probably the most
finished as well as the profoundest 81
them all.
"Our own Prof Gould, the state &c.
ologist, gave a great speech on Okla
homa, II was one Of the best features
Of the meeting"
Besides attending the great meeting
Mr. Kirkpatrick spent a good deal Of
time investigating southern cotton
mills, securing data which will be val
liable to him in his work here.
Cincinnati seemed like a slow burt
after living in hustlIng Chickasha foi
a year." said Kirk. "AIso the weather
was little too cold to suit me"

Arbitration, Yes, Says
Admiral But Not Ready
For Disarmament

Warren Keifer, of Ohio. when he said:
"'In time Of peace, prepare to main
tain peace.
There is nothing Of war cr anything
opposed to arbitration in that senti-
ment-"
Dewey referred to Beresford's state
ment that "the United States is abb
solutely invulnerable" as a compliment
to the country, and added.
There always have been people in
this country ready to criticize the
United States army and navy in mag
azine articles, but that was the case
too at the beginning Of the civil war.
When asked about the reported dan
ger Of Japan seizing the Pacific coast
through sudden attack. the admira
said:
It would take Japan year to bring
over 100000 men. but there is no rea
son for them to be brought. The ques
ton Of immigration appears to have
been settled to the general satisfac
ton Of both nations, and there are NJ
other questions at Issue. I regret t,
see that some men in Japan seem /,
feel that their country did not get it
