DISTORTING THE FACTS.

That Speaker Champ Clark, who is
admittedly very clever politician.
clearly realizes tho weakness of his
rartys record and is. trying to fore
stall its effects by distortng the truth.
Is evident from his recent speeches.
Speaker Clark is going about the
country deliberately trying to deceive
the voters. For instance, in speech
az St Joseph, Mo- he said: "Repub-
lcan orators assert othat the Under

income tax feature, did not bring in
enough revenue to support the gov

SUBSTITUTES FOR STRIKES.

In a speech last week on his atti-
tude towards the labor question. John
. Rockefeller jro voiced the ever
growing demand of the American pub
lie when he said that his Instructions
to the Colorado Fuel & Iron co. and
!Js employees We're THAT there is one
thing which must never happen again
that is a strike"
1t is well that the capitalists of the
country are realizing the demoralizing
effect Of these stone-age tactics
Among all the theories which have
been set forth by hundreds Of stu
dents of the industrial problem, there
should surely be one which will al
lcy!atc the futile surrerings Of those
who are concerned in strikes. whether
1t shall be arbitration, Cancellation or
scme other remedy is a secondary con
s.doration. The basic argument for
tho abolishing Of strikes and lockouts
is that almost anything would be bet
ter than the loss OF life and property
n hich accompanies the graver strikes.
The principal Of settling disputes by
sheer brute force Is fast being over
ridden by the advanced thinking Of
oul age. The great European war is
the last demonstration of this practice,
and the final weighing Of the loss sus-
tanned with the results gained, will
rroye the mightiest lesson which man
kind has ever received along this
line.
1t is time that, when we are COM
ourselves as a nation In
having the sagacity to keep out OF
he world war, we cast about to find
some substitute for the strike in our
present economic system.

MAKE OVER THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

From every quarter of the state
comes the evidence that honest peo-
pie are tired of the domination Of the
Democratic machine which has
cursed Oklahoma for more than
seven years. Taxes are higher than
in any other state in the union. There
are more offices than in any other
state in the union with similar popu-
lation. There is more government Of
one sort and another than in any
other state in the union. But YOU
must not blame the Democratic
party Rather should you give the
Democratic party credit for being able
TO put the situation over for as long
as it has and to still command such
following as regularly votes any
ticket which the bosses nominate and
submit to the voters.
Every government is Just what the
people make it. The government in
oklahoma is no better and no worse
than the majority Of the people Of
oklahoma. If there has been official
misconduct, if there has been cor
ruption, it is not to be visited on the
heads Of the men in charge of affairs,
but on the people who voted them in
office and who are responsible for
such conditions. II the people want
good government they can get it.
There never was such a chance in
any state in the union for a party to
make itself over and to make over the
evils Of government as the Republican
party in oklahoma has today. 1t is
an opportunity to put IN practical and
workable form, in sufficient and en-
during shape those principles of gov
ernment which preserved the union
during the four years between 1861
and 1865, and which reconstructed
the union after the conflict had
closed. The record of the Democratic
party in oklahoma and the union Is
a record of mistake and failure. 1t is
a record of incompetency and Of dis
astcr. Elsewhere the Republicans
are alive and doing things, but here
in Oklahoma the party seems to be
afflicted with the itch Of office seek
ing, stiN seems to be looking solely
to tho fleshpots instead of getting
right out and making its fight on
principle. Whenever the organization
of the party is such that 1t will and
must command the respect Of the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma, the party will win
the election hands down. The party
must be made over The time to do
It is right now, Whenever it is made
over, and whenever there are at the
helm men who are Of more than or
dinary standing, the people will vote
the ticket. Until the making over is
accomplished there is no use in hop
ing for the overthrow Of the machine
which has cursed Oklahoma for haIf
a generation and which is suu piling .
up the taxes.

THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIME.

Dostoevsky in Crime and Punish
ment' publishes a powerful lesson. 1t
is the psychology of the sewer rat.
this volume, which stands out for it.
self We delude ourselves with tho
idea that we can commit any sort of
crime and as long as the officials do
not see it and do not take cognizance
Of it, that we are smarter than our
brethren. But Dostoevsky teaches
with relentless insistcncy and with alb
solute truth the doctrine that crime
punishes itself, that the knowledge of
a crime committed against society or
against any individual is worse than
the lash or the knot that the very
consciousness Of crime is its own
worst and bitterest punishment. And
Dostoevsky is right.
All of the laws which man has made
for the punishment Of crime unless
backed by a healthy and vital
mora. sentiment are null. We see
that every day in the flouung Of the
prohibition law which is supposed to
obtain in this state and which is more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. Time after time, in hun
dred Of instances, men have been in

acquitted, and they will be regularly
and constantly acquitted just so long
as the people believe that the law Is
not sanctioned by popular sentiment.
1t is automatic that no law. criminal
or otherwise, can be sustained or will
be sustained unless the sentiment Of
the community is behind it and tho
people of the community desire its
enforcement.
But whether the courts enforce the
law or whether popular sentiment
justifics or demands the enforcement
Of the law, the fact remains, the great
fact remains, that sin Is its own pun
ishment that any infraction Of the
moral code, whether the sinner be
sent to the penitentiary or not, brings
its own suffering, its own bitterness,
its own torture. We do not believe
that there is a wretch so low, or that
there is human being so mean who
does not feel something Of remorso
and shame when he or she falls from
the accepted standard of moral con-
duct. We do not believe that there
is on this earth anything in the shape
of a human being so utterly lost to
all sense Of moral responsibility, to
all sense of obligation to some higher
being than themselves, who commits
crime who falls from grace, without

THE TULSA SPIRIT AGAIN.

The Tulsa spirit once more was
conspicuous from the beginning to the
end of Fashion week. 1t was this
spirit which made the week possible,
and the same spirit which made it
successful No matter what the un-
ccrtaking, if it is endowed with the
Tulsa spirit it is almost certain Of
success, as has been only too Conclu-
syely demonstrated during the past
fcw months.
In many other cities Of correspond
ing size Fashion weeks have failed.
The necessary push was not behind
them The merchants were willing
e1ough-aye anxious to make them
successful, but they were not in har-
nIony with each other Instead Of
working together there were some
who resorted to the use Of the ham,
ler, an instrument which win de-
mOralize everything and everybody If
1t is persistently used. Briefly, the
necessary spirit was not there, and
spirit is an element which cannot be
ignored in such matters.
And in most Of these instances OF
failure in other cities, the business
people are inclined TO hold the towns
IeoDle to blame. But they are in er-
ror All they need is the necessary
spirit the Tulsa spirit If you will and
al their efforts will be successful.

very sure that this taking Of inventory

JOY RE|GNS SUPREME
IN RANKS Of TOBACCO
GROWERS NEAR PARIS
Embargo Is Lifted From Shipments
to Neutral Countries Abroad
Through the Action Of
Great Britain
HIGHER PRICES PREVAIL
WITH LARGE CROP YEAR
Buyers Expected Soon to Appear
In Henry County and With
Them Will Return Prosper
GUS Business Season

Paris tobacco men and Henry
county growers are jubilant this
week over the dispatches from
Washington telling of Great
Britain's repeal of her famous
war order placing an embargo
upon the American expectation
of tobacco to neutral countries
for re-shlpment' there to the
belligerents.
The effect of this raising of
the embargo will be to create a
market for approximately Is, 1000
hogsheads of tobacco in West
Kentucky and Tennessee, left
over from the 1914 crop.
1t will mean the creation of
funds by which the warehouse
men in this district can pay bet
ter prices for the 1915 market,
soon to be marketed by the
growers.
There will be an early return
of buyers in Henry county, pay
ing stronger prices and their
presence will herald the prompt
return of prosperity in this Sec
ton and the end of a long busi-
ness depression.
This action will stimulate the
local holiday trade and forecasts
an active business in the after
math of Christmas.
The reopening of the European
market will mean the advance of
prices and of the demand for
the tobacco, and will insure a
good price for the incoming to-
bacco crop. Germany and Aus
tria consume about thirty per
cent of the black patch weed,
and their absence from the mar
ket last year brought about the
well-known depression in the TO-
bacco market. Their return to
the buyers brigade will mark an
equally successful turn to the
market.
