reserve bulletin.
The position Of cotton today is
much stronger financial and other
conditions are much better than q

and if the people of the south
will not weaken their position "by un-
wise action they have little to fear.
THE cotton tragedy of 1914 says
Mr. Harding. will be succeeded in
1915 by nothing more serious than a
Drama
Mr. Harding warns the south in it's
desire TO see a broad market estab-
lished for cotton to do nothing to
embarrass President Wilson i'm his
conduct Of international affairs. cit
should be remembered says Mr..
Harding, that the president owes Il
higher duty to the south, to the whole
country and 10 mankind, at this juno
ture than the establishment OF cot
ton values Serious complications be-
tween this country and any great for
eign power certainly would not en-
hance cotton value. The president
may be trusted to do his duty as ne
sees it, regardless Of private appeals
or public ClamOr.'
After comparing conditions affect

Harding says:

conceivable, with Generalization IN

ANSWERING THE PRESS BUREAU

Somebody press bureau at the state house ls
anxious and busy. We quote literally;
In the course Of Its Cthe Timesl feyersh dis
tribe against the governor, this new Dnuie come
to judgment, lays down the rather phenomenal
doctrine that 1t is the theory Of our govern
ment and the purposes Uf the electorate square
measureably herewith that the governor IN
elected for certain specific duties; Of them
being to enforce obedience to the mandrtes Of the
judiciary
The constitution of the state of Oklahoma pro
vides In Section / aud , Of Article VI
First: That the executive authority OF the
state officials (enumeratng theml
Second. The supreme executive power shall
be vested IN chief magistrate who shall be
styled THE Governor Of the state Of oklahoma
In Section uf this article uf the constitution pre-
scribes, THAT the governor shall cause the laws
OF the state to be faithfully executed Many
other sections of the constitution add to the
powers and duties Of the chief executive but Ia
none Of them Is It prescribed that the governor
Is 10 enforce obedience "tU the mandates Of the
judiciary"
OF course the idea sought to be established by
'hs constitutional quotation is that the governor
Is not in any manner bound by the courts, yet it
would be interesting to have the press agents the
ory of how the executive is supposed to cause
the laws Of this state to be faithfully executed
If not through the medium of the courts
It would also be Illuminating to hear his
opinion of the practical meaning of the words
"The supreme executive authority shall be vested
in the chief magistrate who shall re styled the
governor Of Oklahoma"
The reasonable assumption is tina, if the con.
sttutlou makers had not intended that the chief
magistrate should be restricted to the exercise Of
executive authority only, they would not have used
that qualifying term
The Times animadyersions were in the nature
OF a protest against the apparent executive dis
position to amend the constitution by omitting
the word executive And at the moment Of
writing, we had no idea the doctrine was phe-
nominal
If am apology is necessary The Times stands
ready to offer It gracefully.
