meek and lowly catfish after all is
the old steady guy which grows in all
the waters between the north pole
and the south pole, which is not fin
icky about his food, which will bite
at bunch Of meat on pin hook,
as quickly as he will bite at min
now. And the catfish is reliable. He
is always on the job. lie seems to
have some subtle understanding Of
his obligation to provide nutriment
for mankind and he bites regularly
and often. There we take off our
hats to the humble catfish. May his
tribe increase.

ourselves We believe that commits
sion form Of government, for city or
state, is contrary to the spirit Of
American institutions. We believe
that the old mass meeting and con-
yention system, under normal and or
dinary conditions, is the nearest ap-
proach to an absolute democracy and
to popular government, that has ever
been in effect in this country. 1t is
not the method which is responsible
for present conditions. The reason
is far deeper than that. The real
trouble lies in the Indifference Of the
voters as to the character and the
class of his representatives in legis-
| lative assemblies and administrative
bodies. The forces Of dscord, organ
lied, careful, unscrupulous, are al
ways a ert and they see to It that their
votes are cast and counted. The av-
erage merchant or banker or farmer
goes along in a slipshod sort Of way
and because Jim Jones is a good fell
low he votes for Jim Jones to go to
congress or the legislature. When
ever Jim Jones gets gay and introduc-
es or supports some people which Is
inimiCal to the interests of the com
munity it Is easier TO make up
purse and grease the itching palm of
the plant Jones than it is to sacri-
flee the time and money in a cam
paign or attendance upon the daily
sessions of the Legislature. And the
business interests, the merchants and
the bankers, the most indifferent of
all classes to the public welfare are
the first to protest against inimical
legislation or the mistaken impression
which prevails as to the inclinations
and habits of the people of this state.
or any other state.
II we would be properly known
abroad for just what we are. if we
would have the people of New York
or Massachusetts recognize the vir
tues we have We should make de-
termmcd effort to demonstrate to
them that we are not cannibals or
wolves but most remarkably like them
in all Of the attributes of citizenship
that we are all Americans with the

Editor World Tulsa: Dear sir
| have read with some interest your
little comment on the action of Mo-
roney of Okmulgee in fighting a mu-
nicipal gas plant in his town, and
also yonr challenge to the advocates
Of municipal ownership to point to
one single instance where such policy
has been profitable to the people"
take it that you are honest in
this stand and are open to conviction
and willing to stand the truth, even
If IT faiA to coincide with your per-
sonal ideas.
Here Is your one single instances
The city of Neodesha, Kan, in 1897
Instituted n municipal gas plant af-
ter fight with the then controlling
oil company. The city issued $4,000
worth of bonds and has ever since
supplied the inhabitants with natural
gas. The prices are the lowest OF
any town in the state of Kansas. the
service unexcelled. The earnings have
retired the bonds, paid for all ex-
tensions, paid cost of maintenance,
and returned to the city a profit OF
more than $4,000. besides furnish
Ing free street lights for fourteen
years Send to the city clerk for the
auditors report for 1912. It's re-
freshlng reading. 1t also tells of a
municipal waterworks that furnishes
its citizens with absolutely pure wa
ter at "A cost of less than half we nav
In Tulsa; furnishes free water for
city uses and fire protection, as we
are paying a private corporation here.
If you really want to see a success
full municipality owned and operated
In lots of utilities you will enjoy get
ting this report from town that has
made good for more than fifteen
years. Truly,
j. II. FLEMMING.
=. S. OF course / don't pretend to
say that Okmulgee needs a munich.
pal gas plant. / don't know any,
thing about their conditions But
I'd really like to keep history straight.
Lots of good people believe in mu-
nicipally owned utilities and keep
fire departments, sewer systems, wa
terworks, gas and electric plants.
Other equally honest folk always i'm
agine that the self-interested indi-
vidual ought to attend to all business
for the weak-minded and foolish
people.

Now they are saying that nothing
short of a navy as big as that OF Eng
land will satisfy us. Let's go the
whole hog and build navy as big as
all the navies of the rest of the world
Pit together and send the entire

participate in the semi-centennial of
the opening OF Oklahoma which the
Tulsa boosters are going to pull off.
Here is the motto of a bunch of
boosters in New York: Between opti-
mist and pessimist the difference is
droll. The optimist sees the dough-
nut while the pessimist sees the hole.
