BEN GETTING HIS SALARY
Can't Keep Riley OFF the state
Pay Roll.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. July II.
Chairman Ber Riley Of the state
election board seems to be having
trouble In making up his mind as to
the source from v hich he should draw
his official salary. when the state
supreme court o1sted him as secre-
tary of the boaid, he was detached
from a steady salary. Governor Cruce
then made Riley chairman Of the
board, to receiya a per diem for the
number Of days actually served.
Chairman Riley presented a claim for
$3.50 for his june salary To- the state
auditor. but aftcrward withdrew It.
He is said later TO have presented
claim for 1925 tor June services in
the leasing division of the school land
department, whore he is thought TO
be holding the position made vacant
by Joseph Morris when the latter be-
came secretary Of the election board.
At any rate. Chairman Riley has not
been left out In the cold.

Europe produce hell in this country
which has everything for mans sup
port and comfort, even though ships
never crossed the seas again? Many
of our pilgrim forefathers supported
themselves in the wilderness and
were contented with no thought of
European commerce, yet we, with
all of the inventions that make life
comfortable and pleasing, have to
tear our hair because our brother
across the seas prefers for the mo-
ment to fight rather than buy our
cotton, or our corn.
President Wilson has said that
present conditions are physiological.
Of course they are psychological. 1t is
fear that keeps the gold hiding from
the markets of the world, while the
hordes in the cities starve for want
because of the man made laws that
take no count of the common sense
rules of trade.
What's the remedy? One man
says this and another man says that.
The railroads, the only means we
have Of exchanging the wheat and
the corn of the North for the cotton
Of the South, claim ''too much
law" I am prone to agree with
them, "too much law" Moses, the
worlds greatest law giver condensed
law into ten short paragraphs that
may be engraved on mans watch
charm and the Omnipotent Christ
only added one to that number
What shall we do, repeal these laws?
Put. gold on a parity with cot
ton and mans labor, and the
freight cars now standing idle
on the tracks will run their
wheels off exchanging the products
of the North for the products Of the
South, for this country is big enough
and it's resources varied enough to
give prosperity to every man willing
to labor, regardless of whether our
ships said the high seas or not.
Very truly yours,
Ga. CARL H. FULLER.

This is shameful fact. An arti-
Gle entitled Recent Unresented In
suits to Our National Flag" has Just
come to hand, and it tells of numer-
Gus recent insults heaped by Ro-
manists upon the Stars and Stripes.
The hierarchy has condemned our
form Of Government, our public
school system, our National Anthem
America" and now it insolently in
suits and desecrates our flag.
The question is how long are we
going to submit to it, 1t has been
said that the American people rever-
ence their flag next to their God.
Then every American should do his
part to save the flag from dishonor.
The above article, after giving you a

flag suggests way to prevent them
in the future.

ton and we urge our readers to

If Brazil, whose conditions are an
