Foolish Beliefs.

Mcconnell said such beliefs were
as foolish as a man who came TO Okla
homa with determination TO not send
in his name as a taxpayer, to not be-
come citizen, to not vote, because
he wanted to tote pistol and believed
il he we're not a citizen he would evade
the penalty prescribed by the law. He
was fool, the preacher said. for tot
ing pistol is against the laws Of
Oklahoma and the state would handle
that man whether he was citizen Or
not. Just so with an anarchist who
recognized no law he would be pun
ished for violation Of law Just the same
as though he believed in it and were
like other people.
