POWER.

More murderers and rapists have
been turned loose in this state In
four years than in any other four
states in the union. In fact nearly
every murdered who had no possi-
bic excuse for his crime has been
pardoned. DO the people of the
state Of oklahoma stand for this
abuse of executive power? DO they
desire the administration Of the law
brought into disreputc and reduced
to the level of joke book? II SO,
they will vote for "Corporation

Williams is Cruces residuary pollti-

Evening Excuse Still
EvadeS Proof of Circulation

On October 10 and 2l the World and Sun pre-
scnted the question Of the newspaper circulation in
the city of Tulsa to the Retail Merchants assoca-
ton of our city for investigations
The World and Sun claim, and are willing to
submit it to amy bonded auditing company cx-
pcrcnced in such work for vcrification, that their
circulation is almost five times greater than amy
other paper published in Tulsa
The World and sun agree to pay all the eX-
pcnSeS attached to such an examination, the only
condition attached to this examination is that all
of the papers in Tulsa publish the findings of such
auditing company the front page Of their paper
Immediately after it has been received by the Re
tail Merchants association. Isn't this fair?
The World and Sun do not disapprove of any
merchant spending his money where he may see
fit, but do believe it is dishonest for any pub
Usher to establish attempt to establish, adver-
tiSmg rates based 10000 circulation when they
have only 1000 circulation which would mean that
the rate, honestly, should be just practically one
third for 1000 that it is for l3000 and if a news
paper has 10000 which it claims it has why does
it eyade the subject of an examination
THERE'S A REASON!
Mr.. Merchant there surely is a "niggcrn-the
woodpe somewhere. If a customer comes into
your store and wants dozen cans of fruit
would you object to putting such goods out on the
counter and permit the customer to count them, or
any neghbor or friend that your customer might
want to count them2 No. you would be delighted
to prove to your customer that you giving
him twelve for dozen" and "sixteen ounces
for pound.
Don't you think the Evening Excuse is lying
to You pont-blank about their circulation. or they
would be delighted and only too glad to have ,-eir
records examined and "prove' not only to you but
to the outside world, well as every citizen of
Tulsa, that the World and Sun have been telling
falsehoods about the amount of their circuation9
Mr.. Merchant, you through this? If
you can you are the smartest man in the United
States today, as consider there two ways to
conduct a business. On way is HONEST in which
there is not maintained any secrets or records
der cover The other way is maintained by every
thing being secret and no records for anybody to
examine Which way do you think the newspapers
of Tulsa are operating with reference to their cir
cuationY The World and Sun ready and will
ing to submit to the "crucal test" of any kind
of an examination of their circulation records by
any bonded auditing company experienced in such
work, in the United States. The other Tulsa news
paper will submit to nothing except the state
ments that the World and Sun telling YOU
falsehoods about their circulation. Think this
over. Mr. Merchant. It may money for you.
1t will at least, not cost you any money to find
out what you getting for your money if the
records of the circulation of the Tulsa newspapers
are examined along the hes that the World and

GERMAN CORRESPONDENT
DESCRIBES LACK OF
PREPARATIONS
Old ANTIQUlTED Guns
Many Of the Cannon Were Old

Use.

Correspondence of Tho Associated Press)
THE HAGUE, oct l3.-According
to recent reports IN the German press,
not an the French Notifications ara
SO strong as has been believed. SoN-
eral of those which have been taken
by the Germans are said to have been
antiquatcd, little effort To modcrni2e
them having been spent on them \
noteworthy example of this. and one
which Is rather typical Of what the
Germans assert they have found, is
the case OF Fort Leo Ayvclles, which,
located almost due south OF McZleres-
Charleville guarded the bridges and
fords of the Mcusc In that locality
Describing what he saw in the fort
after ii had been occupied by the Ger
mans, Henry Binder was correspond
cnt Of the Bcrlincr Tageblatt says in
the issue Of that paper of October 3,
among other things:
"All French forts along the Belgian
border have been constructed with
such carclcssncss that one can easily
determine the degree to which the
French depended upon their Belgian
neighbOr Generally, the forts were
left in the state they had when built,
and since the plan of their construc-
tion dates back to so years ago, the
strategiCal weakness of several or most
Of them is plain enough
"A typical example Of this is Fort
Lee Ayyelles, which guarded the
bridges and fords Of the McusC south
Of Me2ieres- -Charlcville, aud which
was shot out of the ground with 300
shots from our 2l-centimetcr mortars.
The fort was built in 1878 ard was
armed with 40 pieces. Its main arma-
ment were two batteries Of six guns
each of 9-centimeter calibre, dating
from the years Of 1873 and 1850, and
which had a range of only four kilo-
meters. Note The range Of even the
smallest German siege pieces is never
less than eight klometers.)

In addition, there were found In
the fort several l2-centimctcr bronze
guns which had been cast in 1884,
while In the cascmutcs we found scv-
cral mitrailleuses and five barrellcd
revolver guns which had been in

fort were also found several old NOR
tars from the year lS42-old muzzle-
leaders with the typical pyramids Of
round canOuballs beside thcm-guns
Of type we use in our villages to fire
salutes.
The fort showed neglect every
where. Not alone was its armament
tntiquatcd and primitive, but the man
agemont before and durilg the attack
must have been defective. The road
to the fort had been blocked merely
by felled trees and an occasional
barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT, and trees
before one of the batteries of the forts
made it necessary to replace 1t after
our troops had arrived. TO do this
winch had to be used. But they
succeeded only in getting one of the
pieces into position. This gun was in
tended to serve against aircraft above
the fort, and an effort had been mado
to give 1t the necessary high-angle
elevation by digging trench around

at that the elevation secured was in
