Johnson is truthfully designated

proach and menace to their race.
He is not of the ignorant, half re-

Is all the more sinister for this very
reason and there can be little ques-

the premier slugger of the prize ring
he has done incalculable harm TO
the best interests of his race. He
has made it harder for the self-re-
specting and decent negro to make
headway against the prejudice that
already exists. No word can pos
sibly be said in reason or justice in
favor Of such q character, entirely
regardless of the race to which he
belongs The unspeakatle depravity
which has been proved should arm
the law invincibly against permit
ting him to outrage public senti-
ment and public decency. The Chi
cago laws must be weak indeed II
thev are not stronger than such n
nauseatiag situation as has been
disclosed. Nothing more offensive
in the mingling of races has been
presented than the whole career of
the black slugger, who has been vi
ciously persistent in his violation of
the prophecies in this respect. That
he has found women Of the white
race so lost to all sense of honor

argument in his favor-lKansas

The idea of great national mob
ilizing of democrats is not only OF
vast importance in arousing enthu-
siasm for the national ticket, but
it will be an occasion of great ad-
vantage to all local candidates in
providing an opportunity for them
to get their forces together and to

is pledged to the abolition 81 every
unnecessary office and the consoli-
dation of offices wherever this Is
practicable. The governors conten-
ton that the Denitentiary should be
made self sustaining will meet with
general favor, but we should not

This should be the ultimate cad

ultimately arrived at without injury

state. The governors admonition
TO the people to begin themselves
in their local affairs the retrench-
ment they demand in state aralrs
will be applauded by every sincere
and patriotic citizen. The truth is
the great relief must come from
this source. If our state taxes were
abolished entirely II we had som,
means other than taxation to main
tain all NJ the state government in
cluding the courts and all OF the
educational institutions, in many
parts OF Oklahoma, in republican as
well as democrati communities,
taxes would still be hign because OF
local taxation. In some Of the cit

and county taxation were eliminat-
ed. There ought TO be the most
rigid economy, but he who pretends
that it is possible to abolish taxa

penditures and we ought to retrench
but when this has been done there
are debts to pay-debts incurred by

RETRENCHM ENT.

Governor Cruces advocacy of re-
trenchment in public expenditures
reflects the general attitude OF the
democratic party in Oklahoma and
II foreshadows the certain retrench-
ment to be accomplished by the
next session cf the Legislature by
a democratic majority. Everybody
will not agree with every detail
of the governors proposals and per-

cannot be accomplished in single
legislative session. The people are
not so much concerned, however

WILSON AND MARSHALL DAY.

New York. Oct. 22-The most dis
tinctive and inspiring feature of the
presidential campaign of 1912 will
be the nation wide celebration of
Wilson and Marshall Day on the af-
ternoon of Saturday, November 2.
when loyal democrats in every city,
town and hamlet will assemble to
listen to the reading of an original
and special message from Gov. Will
son. What this essage WILDE no one
knows. except that 1t is to carry to
the country final word from the
democratic leader, and will give the
voters of the nation something to
think about before they so to the
polls three days later.
The idea of the Wilson and Mar
shall Day originated with William
G. McAdoo, vice chairman, and Jo-
sephus Daniels, chairman OF the
publicity committee of the national
democratic committee, and in the
first announcement sent out it was
suggested that October 81 would be
designated as the day for the ma
tional celebration. For various rea-
sons it was subsequently decided 20
hold the celebration at later date,
and last night the following tele-
gram was sent by Mr.. McAdoo to
every national committeeman and
state chairman in the union:
Referring to my previous tele-
gram about Wilson Day, the demo-
cratic national committee has de-
cided 70 designate November 2 in
stead oe October 81 as Wilson and
Marshall Day, and to request the
democratic organization in each
state of the union TO hold as many
meetings as possible in each state
on the afternoon and evening of that
day, at which an original and spe-
ciai message from cur great leader
Governor Woodrow Wilson, will be
read. All arrangements without youl
