A FireIess Fourth.

Chief George Gattis of the fire de
partment is remarking on the fact that
for the first time in years has a Fourth
of July passed in Chickasha without
a single fire alarm. Not a semblance
of blaze was reported either Satur-

Gattis attributes the improvement
partly to the rainy weather and partly
to the change to "saner Fourth of

The Assault on Frank

The state Of Georgia owes it to its own dignity
in the nation to discover the motive back OF the
assault on Leo M. Frank, serving a life sentence
for the murder of Mary Phagan. When execu-
tive clemency was shown the man about whose
guilt there is so much doubt, the state OF Geor-
gia disgraced itself by showing an i'll feeling and
resentment towards its governor that seems
inexplicable. He knew that he was taking his
political fate in his hands, but believed there was
sufficient doubt about Franks guilt to warrant
clemency.
Now convict in the penitentiary makes an
assault upon Frank that put his life into jeopar-
dy. The crazed man claims he was an agent Of
God called on to kill Frank. But there is an ink
ling that the man may be one of group of con-
spirators who want to put Frank out Of the way.
Georgia ought to put end to affairs of this
kind.

The German War Machine

The confident hope and heralded opinion OF
the Allies that the war machine of the Kaiser
would crumple and buckle under the strain of
gigantic pressure have proved errors in the light
of the tremendous drives of the armies in Po-
land and Of the ability of the western army to
prevent the French and British from breaking
through.
The impression general in military circles
that the German army had been recruited to its
maximum strength last pring and that fresh lev
les of troops could not be raised. Critics claimed
the advantage would then rest with England, the
only nation of the allies whose military strength
has not reached fu-strength, but this was dis
PEELED few weeks ago when it was announced in
Parliament that England had only 100000 men
in the field.
Germanys drive at Warsaw, which seems des-
tined to fall in few weeks before the onslaught
of the Teutonic allies, must have been made with
fresh troops drilled and equipped since the war
broke out year ago. Her ability to put new men
into the field is surprising
Tt will be recalled that German Americans in
Richmond have received letters galore from their
relatives in the Fatherland stating there was no
dearth of men and that the nation had not APP
preached the maximum number it could throw in
the field The campaign in the west seems to
establish the truth of these observations.
Trained soldiers and capable leaders seem to

The constant changing of styles,
and the general buying of fads, makes
it exceedingly risky for man to open
a dry goods business in this age. Even
a man with experience must be alert
If he seeks to make his business prof
table" ..
, George Fl. Knollenberg, who on Sep
TENDER IL will begin the fiftieth year
of the establishment of his business,
was comparing the methods and habits
of buying today with those which
were followed when he opened one
room, single roof. one-clerk store
nearly half century ago.
1T is the general tendency now"
continued Mr.. Knollenberg, among
women and men too. to buy the most
fashionable goods, while years ago
they were content to buy staple and
more quiet appearing garments. The
buyer for a dry goods house now
must be a genius to prophesy the
color and texture which will appeal to
his trade"
Changes In Price.
During the decades Mr. Knollen-
berg has been in business great

styles but in prices of dry goods. When
he began business on September l,
1866, calico was purchased at 10 cents

for 5 cents a yard. Bleached muslin

In 1877 he bought the ground on
which the building stood, and eighteen

building was erected. The adjoining
building on the east side was bought
In 1883, and ten years afterward he
arranged for the construction of what
is now known as the annex.

now occupies includes IS feet frontage

Traffic Regulations

Changes in the traffic regulations at Eighth
and Main street are intended to lessen the dan
ger at that important crossing. Ire rules are adj
mirably suited for this purpose The restrictions
ought to prevent automobile collisions and dan
ger to pedestrians.
Pedestrians can do much to help solve the
problem by stopping, looking and listening be-
fore they cross the street at this point. Many
accidents are caused by women and children
rushing pell nell and headlong across the street
without stopping to if the traffic officer has
given the signal for automobiles and wagons to
cross. little care on the part of pedestrians
will prevent accidents. =

Eighth street. All of the space, in the
annex is used by the Knollenberg
company, except some rooms which
have been designed for offices
The George H. Knollenberg COM
pany was organized in 1893 by George
H. Knollenberg, Henry w knollen-
berg, Charles A. Knollenberg and Har-
ry w. Watt. It has continued under
the personal management of George
H. Knollenberg
During the first year he was in husi-
ness Mr.. Knolfenberg's total receipts
were $4,000 Now his receipts for a
year probably are fifty times that
amount.
Secret Of Success
Mr.. knollenberg is Justly proud of
his business. For the first three years,
he says, it was rough shedding, but
after that time his trade increased in
leaps and bounds. Panics, he says,
never affected his business to any
great extent.
Merchants who have watched his
career and his growing business, say
he was always optimistic and always
fair with competitors and customers;
that he never defaulted the payment
OF bill, and was never known to have
any financial embarrassment.
Only few customers of those who
traded with him when he began bust
ness are left, Mr.. knollenberg says
but he often sees the children of the
third and even fourth generation OF
| these customers visiting his estab.
lishment.

CITY To COLLECT
THE AUTO LICENSE
VIII Pass Ordinance That
In No Way Conflicts
With State Statute.

The city of Tulsa will continue to
collect a license fee on all autOmO-
bies within the corporate limits, in
spite of new state road and highway
law which provides for state tax
on automobiles, in lieu of all other
taxes
The city legal department main
tains that the state law cannot de-
priye "a chartcr-Eoyerae municipality
Of the right to regulate its auto
mobiles. The auto license system is
for the purpose of police regulation,
they claim.
The city license fee is IS a year
for pleasure ears and Sl5 year for
livery vehicles.
For Revenue Purposes.
Under the new state law, however,
automobiles will not be assessed for
ad valorem taxation. Should the city
be deprived Of its auto license there
would be ten or twelve thousand
dollar decrease in receipts yearly.
This license is not for revenue pur-
poses, the city attorney maintains, but
is to provide a fund for the regulation
Of automobile traffic.
Some minor changes will be made
I'm the city ordinance so as to ComplS
with the state law
Every owner of an automobile must
pay the state tax, which is gauEed
according to the horsepower Of the
car. Failure TO do so will make the
offender liable to a heavy fine.
The state auto tax will be used for
good roads purposes exclusively and
q portion of it will be returned to
the city and county i'm which it is
published.

THE CRUEL MERCHANT.
A girl worked in a dry goods store and
she was awful Thin
She hadn't any chest at all, and her
hips was CaVed in.
The section where she worked had
cotton batting there for sale,
And every night she stole a pack, and
soon she had a bale.
She sewed the bale up into pads, and
her shape did look fine
On looks she weighed 200, but her
weight was 80.
One day the building caught on fire,
and on the eighteenth floor
The girl stood at a window Of that
big department store.
Fhe firemen yelled Don't jump
But all them flames was near
her feet,
And so the girl made one big leap and
landed on the street.
The jump was eighteen stories, and
she landed sitting down.
And them there cotton batting pads
