watch or purloining a pocketbook
Right now is the time that the
welfare, the good name, and the
reputation, for all time to come, oil
the state of Oklahoma, Is to be
saved. Right now Is the appointed
time. If the whitewash brush is
Delay. Immediate and drastic action
should be taken. But no man should
lie condemned unheard. While the
rumors of graft and Doodle. of dis
honesty, fraud and corruption are
being sown broadcast, the reputa-
/ tions of good men as well as the
reputation of the state are being
besntir2hed. If Oklahoma IS the state
lof fraud that the resolutions which.
from time to time, have implied it tc

"a high minded constituency have

grafters and corruptionists, let the
whi'ewash bucket be overturned and
It's contents emptied into some con-

before the bar of justice, even though
the felons stripes fall to their por-

wolf The constitution of the United
States says that the highest and
humbest are entitled to a hearing
that no man should he condemned |
if the members of the |
legislature are but kindling fires of
dissension and discord under the po-
litical pot of this state, hoping that
the boiling will bring certain ones
into bad odor so that they (the
ones who are adding fuel to the
flames) may ride into public office
on the tidal wave of a muckrake in
vestigation, then let them be the
ones who shall be caught in the
trap which they may have laid for
the innocents' undoing.
All this talk of a committee to be
left in charge of the situation after
the adjournment of the regular ses-
sion is bombast. Such resolutions
the resolutions calling for investi-
cations and charging profligacy in
the expenditures of the states funds,
seem but flagrant efforts of others to |
get their hands in the public crib. |
Such resolutions themselves smell Of
profligacy. They can have but one
end and object in view-the creating
of a lucrative position for a favored
few of the legislative body who will
be left without the censorship Of the
entire house and senate to uneartb
scandal, if there be scandal to be
unearthed and to apply the white
wash brush unchallenged should they |
see fit.
The fair name of the state of Ok
lahoma is near and dear to every |
true son of Oklahoma. The fair
name of the great democratic party
is dear to every true and loyal dem
ocrat. If the men whom the demo-
Gratis of Oklahoma have put into the
charge of the affairs OF the state are
robbing the state of its good name,
they are also robbing the democratic
party of its good name, and should
