Better Go Back.

We are inclined to the opinion
that it would be better for society
If a few backward steps could be
taken for punishment for petty
crimes. In the days of old-fash-
toned whipping posts there was
no Jail full of prisoners. A wife
beater was taken out and whip
ped on the bare back. 1t was not
necessary to give him a second
dose.
And for chronic offenders the
Old-time stocks and pillory, in a
public place, with a placard at
tached why the offender was pun
ished, would do away with chron-
ic crime. Once would be enough.
The offender would change his
ways or his location. And all
this would be cheaper and more
effective than the modern way.

A Bad Mess.

The European war now being
waged across the Atlantic is q
bad mess of affairs. But it might
be worse-in fact it would bel
thss grand and glorious country
would in any manner become
mixed in it. But there is no dan
ger from that score. President
Wilson is a man of peace, and the
people of his domain can sleep
well and not worry. The presi'
dent will not for a moment coun.
tenance even a suggestion OF a
mix.
The United States could stop
that was in a very short time. If
congress would pass an order
along to put a very heavy export
tax on grain going from this
. country to Europe, it would have
4 tendency to check operations
over there, and the war would die
of its own weight in less than
four weeks. That would be a
case gentle reader, of the for
eigner paying the tax" for sure.
And if the export tax was made
heavy enough, the United States
would have practically all the
money in the world if the war
not stopped in short order.
There is a crop shortage almost
all over the world, except in the
United States. To carry on the
European war, foodstuffs must be
secured from this country. Let's
have a big export tax, and not
only stop the was by levying it,
but while it does last we will, as
a nation, get rich.

New York stock exchange is clos
ed, it would be a good idea to
keep it closed. It never did and
never can accomplish any good
purpose.

The vote cast at the nominal.

was much bigger than was ex.
pected. And a somewhat larger
vote was cast in the country pre-.
cincts than was looked for. Il
was thought the farmers would
be too busy to take much time of
to 60 to the polls, but 4 lot Of
them did take the time. and AZ q
result the vote from the country
precincts was heavier than Il was
thought it would be. :

of the county was heavy, AZ was
also in Columbus and Galeua.

vice 1t is a very modest sum, OF
course, but am sure it will prove
to be at least an earnest of our
good will toward the south, where
we have 50 many gallant friends
Mrs. Mccormick added that the

tions.
Each state PRESIDENT she said,
will receive in day or so a check
for $50. She will be authorized to
80 into the open market and buy a
bale of cotton at ten cents a pound
She can leave it in the warehouse
if she likes. or she can take it to
the state suffrage headquarters and
give it place of honor on the
platform. The point simply is that
the national authorizes her, as trus-
tee, to do her share in a perfectly
disinterested way in a matter which
we know is deeply engaging the at
tention of men and women in the

INITIATED MEASURES IN DOUBT
Full Returns From All Boxes are Not
Available.

Oklahoma City, Sept 2l.-Inyes-
tigation of the recent election, inso-
far as the state questions are con-
Cerned, indicates that in the 113
made on state questions there were
some instances of ballots being cast
and no count made. 1t is not known
how many precincts held elections on
state questios, and made no return,
but there We're several, and posi-
bly, all that made no return had
votes cast on state questions. Pend
ing full investigation and returns
from all the precincts that are miss
ing, there will probably be no an
nouncement of the result as to the
initiated measures in the election.
Another matter that affects this
election is a provision of the law
which makes it necessary for initia-
ted measures to receive a majority
of all the votes cast in the election.
rather than majority of the votes
cast on the question. In the past
the assumption has been that the
vote for governor represented the
total number of votes cast This is
not even approximately the case.
1t is the opinion of some of the
state officers that the only proper
manner of ascertaining the total
vote cast is by counting the num-
Der of ballots If this be done, it is
believed that the initiated measures
will all fail of sufficient votes to
carry them into effect
