Germany.
The action demanded of the empire
in these conditions is clear. If France
and Russia are involved in war, the
empire must support them with all
its strength and without delay. We
do not desire war; we have striyen to
avert it; if it is inevitable we shall
enter it with a good conscience and
hasten the decision by every proper
means in our power
The reason is three-fold:
In the first place, we must stand by
our friends. The empire has no writ
ten or spoken undertakings which
bind it to Intervene; but it has an OBJ
legation of honor which it will dis
charge to the full The character OF
nations is weighed by the world at mo
ments like this. We should be judged,
and rightly judged, unworthy of the
friendship of any civilized power il
we were to repudiate the claim of
France and Russia upon our support
now that events, against their will as
against ours, have brought our CO.
operation to the decisive test of war.
II is easy to argue away this obliga-
ton; but the plain mans instinct re-
pudiates such arguments, and in our
democracies his instinct will prevail
In the second place, we have vital
interest in seeing that France is not
overwhelmed by Germany, however
friendly we may and do feel to the
German people. The power which
dominates France will dominate Bel
gium and the Netherlands and
threaten, as did Louis XIV and Napo-
leon, the very basis of the empires

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
OUR NEW STATE CHAIRMAN.


Grady county has been honored by
the Democratic state committee by
the selection OF Mr.. Alger Melton Of
Chickasha as the new chairman of
the committee. Mr.. Melton is to be
congratulated upon the recognition he
has won at the hands Of the Democracy
of the state. For a beginner in state
politics his rise has been remarkably
rapid. That he will render the party
faithful and effective service is not to
be questioned.
However, the selection of Mr.. Mel
ton for this position has a greater sig
niflcance than mere personal recogni-
tion or honor to his county AS time
wears on. the people become restless
under old political leaders and de-
mand new deal" and that is what
Mr.. Melton typifies. And a new deal
is a good thing for the party and for
the people. Without reflection upon
those who have been at the helm OF
the party in the past, we assert with
confidence that periodical changes in
party leadership are to be desired in
the interest of the organization and
the body polite
Mr.. Melton within few months has
come up from the private ranks OF the
party and he is therefore in close
touch with the wishes and sentiments
of the people He has point of view
of public affairs that man who has
been long in The maelstrom of politics
cannot have. In the past he has been
allied with no party faction and there
fore is in position to render the best
service to the people.
Judge Williams, the nominees for
governor. has promised the state an
administration along distinctive lines.
AS member of the state judiciary
since statehood, While he has not been
identified with the management Of
state affairs, he has had opportunity
for the broadcast study Of the condi-
tlons and needs OF the state and to
formulate plans for meeting the re-
quirements It is entirely fitting that
his campaign before the people should
be conducted by q man who like him

In the third place, the empire

London Times Gives
the British View

The following appeared in the Lon
don Times on August /, just before
the general war began:
The five nations of the empire stand
upon the brink of war. Why?
A great European monarchy has de-
MED to little nation the elementary
rights of an Independent government
The reason or unreason of the Austro-
hungarian claims has ceased to be of
account. For Europe as community
Of civilized peoples the cardinal point
is this-that Austria-Hungary has
pressed her claims by a brutal appeal
to force, though knowing well that,
while time and diplomatic action
would have enabled the. conscience
and good sense of Europe to make it.
self felt for peace, the sudden appeal
to arms must involve other friendly
powers in war.
Great Britain has no interest in the
claims of either Austria-Hungary or
Servia; but as the leading partner in a
democratic empire, which stands for
civilized relations between great peo-
pies and the maintenance Of the
worlds peace, it is deeply concerned
in Austria Hungary's disregard of Eu-
ropean interests and of the rudimen-
tary principles of civilized interna-
tional intercourse.
The result of Austria-Hungary's inn
moral action is already but too plain.
Russia has modified to support the
Servian people, because sentiment and
policy based upon close kinship Of
race, alike dictate that course. Ger

her. alliance with Austria-H Hungary, is
preparing to meet the Russians arms
France, also bound by an alliance
which represents her vital interest,
will intervene on behalf of Russia
against the two central European pow
ers.
1t is beside the mark to question
the justice or necessity of the action
of these several powers. None of
them, as their hesitation shows, is
anxious for war. On the contrary, all
of them have done their utmost to
avert it. But they are compelled to
face it in defense of fundamental in
terests, now that one of the powers
in tie European balance has fired the
train.

Austria Hungary except that Austro

We don't believe 1t would be possi-
BILE to convict the American press OF
any wilful and malicious unfairness
toward any of the actors in the war.
IL the news reports seem to be partial
to one side or the other 1t is because
Of the limitations imposed upon news
gathering by the fighters themselves
and not because the press is not using
every effort to get the facts. The vast
majority Of American editors have no
grudge against any of the warning
powers and are simply endeavoring
under great difficulties TO perform
their duty as chroniclers of the pro-
gress OF events. or course they have
opinions as to the merits of the CON
troversy but in the main they have
been very temperate in expressing
them.

Regardless of the outcome, it is hard
to see how Belgium is going to get
anything worth while for her trouble.
If her allies are successful they will
likely be generous enough to let her
keep what she has, but if the Germans
win Belgium will probably be wiped
from the map. OF course the Belgians
know their own business, but if we had
been running the country our idea
would have been to invite all the war
riors to pass right through, provided
they promised to keep off the grass.
