DEMOCRATIC PRESS BULLETIN.

The Oklahoma corporation commits
sion has won another, and possibly its
greatest victory. The interstates COM
merce commission has handed down a
decision which makes sweeping reduc-
tions in the freight rates upon live
stock shipments throughout the south
west The contention of the state
commission that Oklahoma towns have
been Disseminated against by the rail
roads in the matter of rates has been
sustained by the higher commission
and radical reduction in rates has
been ordered This victory preserves
the record of the Oklahoma corporation
commission of never having lost case
before the interstate commerce com
mission. The result of the change in
rates will be of intestimable benefit to
Oklahoma shippers.

The protest that has arisen in cer-
tain portions of the state against the
maintenance of the state game war
den's office is a criticism without just
cause. When it is suggested that this
office be abolished in order to reduce
the expense of state government the
critic evidently forgets that this is one
department that has never from the
day of it's organization had an appro-
|priation from the general revenue fund
of the state. The Office is supported
lby the sale of hunting licenses. No
one is compelled to purchase license
He can buy license if he wants to;
he can let it alone if he prefers. The
lsportsmen of the state are the ones
who support the office, they want the
office maintained, and they are salts
fled with the administration of the de
partment.

Southern Commercial! Congress.


Washington, d. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Joseph w. bailey, of Texas, today no.
tilted Senator Duncan u Fletcher, pres
ident of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, that he consents to deliver the
opening oration at the fourth annual
convention, of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress in Nashville, next April.
The subject will be "The Mississippi
Valley" His treatment of this subject
will emphasize the Importance of the
Mississippi Valley as whole in ma
tional development, past and future.
Senator Bailey was the unanimous Sc
lection of the executive officers of the
congress for this important place on
the Nashville programme after care
fully weighing the ability and powers
of more than one hundred men of ma
tional reputation. He is Mississip
plan by birth, was a student in Wander
bilt University, and as Texan has be
come known throughout the United
States. The scope of the whole pro
gramme will deal with THE South:

cry" and the meeting is located in thu
Mississippi Valley because it includes
Itwo-fifths of he United States and be
cause it is the most important ele
Iment in the agricultural future of th'
nation.

During the forty-nine years ending
October 81, 1911, the net loss to de-
positors in national banks that have
failed and been liquidated was $37 ,000,
600. Sixty per cent in number of these
failures were caused by acts in direct
violation of the national bank law. One
tenth of cent deducted from each dol
lar of individual deposits now held by
the banks would cover all losses that
depositors have sustained in forty nine
years through failures where there was
no violation of law. But not deposit
in a national bank is secured, except
the deposits of the government itself.
The national government assumes
guardianship of all national banks in
order that the public may have conf
ldence in them but shows no confidence
| in them itself. 1t requires that its own
deposits be secured by bonds. 1t strikes
lus that what the government demands
for itself should be given the people
Then the same happy condition would
prevail throughout the nation that pre-
walls in Oklahoma, where no deposition
| in state bank has lost dollar since
statehood.

affection and esteem, and children, as
of old, will primarily be the children
of the mother Her right TO select the
father of her own children is absolute.
In such society all children will be
equally legitimate, and the seventh
commandment will become practically
absolete"
This is not intended as an attack
upon socialism, nor do we allege that
socialism means the abolition of the
seventh commandment We simply
quote the statement of leading So
cialist writer wherein he declares that
under the reign of socialism the COM
mandment Thou shalt not commit
adultery" will become obsolete.
Why did the socialist state conven-
tion adopt resolution condemning the
Appeal to Reason? Their leaders have
known for years that the Appeal is a
private enterprise conducted on cap
italistic principles. They have long
been aware that it has made Wayland
rich at the expense of his eredulous
readers. They have long realized that
the Girard organ knows only one prin-
ciple and that is the cash register
principle. Moreover they have indig
nantly denied the allegation of Okla
homa democrats that the Appeal is q
private enterprise operated for private
gain. Now they admit that the demo
Gratis were right and that they them
selves were wrong. And there's rea
son.
The Appeal now has local com
, ipetitor The Pioneer is fighting fol
al available shekels. 1t is not conten
with being Socialist Bible No. 2. 1t il
determined to be the only Socialis
Bible. The crowd who operate th'
Pioneer have seen Wayland become
rich and they desire to duplicate hi
performance. Like the Girard pub
/ fisher they are not in journalism 70
, their health, or for socialist principle
: either, for that matter. They have dc
; nounced monopoly, but they succeede
in putting one over the Appeal reader

r power of monopolizing the journalist

Q that it must get out of the state.

August Bebel is a socialist, there is
no question as to that. In his much
quoted work on Woman" page 22s,
he gives the following delectable NOR
sci of socialism:
"The qualification of the sexual i'm
pulse is as strictly the personal affair
of the individual as every other nat
ural instinct. No one has to give ac-
count to himself or herself, and no
third person has the slightest right to
interfere"
Is this the philosophy OF socialism!
1t is undoubtedly the philosophy of
prostitutes and libertines. 1t declares
that individual prostitution is no ones
business but that of the individual Of
fender. That is the contention of the
degenerate. According to Bebel. every
restriction placed upon sexual gratifica
ton shall be ignored or repealed. The
logical result of socialistic administra
ton is the ignoring of the seventh com
mandent and the repeal of the statutes
against adultery and fornfication.

The following extract is from
speech delivered at Birmingham, No
vember 19, 1907, by Fl. Quelch, prom
inent socialist of England. The speech
from which the excerpt is taken has
been reproduced in America. and thou
sands of copies of it have been cir
culated by socialist locals as good So
cialist literature.
Il am in favor of free love. What
love are we in favor of if We are not
in favor of free love? | do want to
abolish marriage. | do want to see the
whole system of society as at present
constituted swept away. ! want to
make it no more possible for woman
to sell herself in the marriage market
than for man to sell himself in the
labor market. We want no marriage
bond; we want no bond at all. We
do want free love. We want no sex
ual bonds except those based on no
other foundation than mutual aHee-
ton"
When Quelch uttered such a seatl-
ment he alone was responsible for such
teaching. But when the socialist or.
gaaization indorsed his speech and be
gan circulating it as good socialist doc
trine the party became equally respons
ibIe with Quelch. And the socialist
party will be held responsible for it.
