A close analysis of the crowd would

wayfarers, and the listless habituees
of the park benches driven under
cover by December weather
The formal annual communication

Of the most dominating race, seems
like an event One imagines fuss and
feathers and splendor

Schrank showed keen disappointment

ranoiac delusions and the inspiration
of other insane cranks The entire
procedure. says The Journal Of the

unanswerable reply to the argument
that such spectacles are necessary to

ayoidable under our laws; Judge A.

II there is bloodshed at Jay, the
county seat Of Delaware county it may
very properly be charged indirectly to
the supreme court of Oklahoma. After
the people of Delaware county had
voted to establish the county seat at
Old Jay, bunch of townsite promo
ters undertook to move the county seat
to another place. Governor Cruce very
properly ordered the records placed at
Old Jay where the people of the coun-
ty had voted to place them. Then the
supreme court butted in and tried to
enjoin General Canton from carrying
out the orders of the governor. If
there is bloodshed, and it looks like
there would be, it will be difficult for
the supreme court to clear itself of
the stain of blood.

SHoPLlFTING.

There are increased complaints of
stealing from stores, particularly dur
ing the holiday season, Shopliftilg is
developed to systematized and eff
cient industry in large cities. Any
large sized store in town where there
are many strangers suffers more or
less.
The public supposes that it all comes
out of the merchant, and that he can
afford it well enough.
Actually the public pays. One mer-
chant known to the writer instructs
his clerks that they must watch every
body Department stores in the lar
ger cities employ their special detec-
itives These precautions involve an
extra labor expense, and interrupt the
work of the regular clerks. The mer-
chant figures it in as one of his over
head charges. The public sweetly
Ipays for it's own crooked ways in the
price of goods.
When college young people steal
signs, it is regarded as indicating that
they possess a keen sense of humor.
A collection showing prowess in the
Iact of larceny is supposed to display
more spirit than the capture of a
prize for good scholarship. Just why
lit is more glorious to steal sign that
cost some merchant $500, than to
Iswipe handkerchief costing 25 cents,
does not appear to the uneducated
man.
Many people of high standing make
collections of table ware and linen
lswped from hotels. All that is added
to the cost of operating a hotel, and
calmly paid for by the travelling pub
lie
All this must have its ialluence over
la host of weak headed people who are
governed only by fear OF the police
The moral forces and ideals on which
all business is founded never seem to
touch them. To tell them that thing
is right or wrong is just like talking
in a foreign language.
When you figure out the cost of liv-
ing, put a round sum against crime,
big and little. In the old days when
children were taught, 1T is a sin to
steal pin, you could do business for
less money.
