The following is taken from the |
Idabel .(McCurtain County, Demo-
crat-RecOrd. and was evoked because
'- Gabe Parker, su-
GOES AFTER perintendent of
GABE PARKER the Indian de-
partment has or
dered per capita payments held up
In that county until proper enforce
ment of the prohibition laws is had:
Superintendent Gabe Parker has
become miffed because his depart
ment cannot dictate to the officials
and people of McCurtain County,
and in his selfish desire for revenge
and in the hope that his arbitrary
action may gain him the action he
Graves, has suspended the Indian
per capita payment indefinitely
I'm view of the fact that white
people have been able to do business
up 20 the present time without the
payment, 1t is very likely that they
will continue at the same old stand
doing a legitimate business without
Mr.. Parker's permission and with
out the Indian money.
But how about the Indian? He
has exhausted his means and his
credit and must have help or suffer
from the pangs of hunger, as many
Of them have been doing, and all
because the man or men who are
supposed to take care of them fail
in doing the very thing they are
paid to do.
''If the people of the county feel
as the writer does, there will be no
backdown of the position assumed,
but politely tell Mr.. Parker 10 go to
the devil, and keep on in the even
tenor of our way"
In the same issue of the Demo
crat- Record in which this article
was printed appears an account of
the proceedings of the County Court,
Judge %. d. Parks presiding. There
are 81 cases of prosecutions for vi
lations of the prohibitory law men
toned as having been acted upon
by the court. OF this number 90
were either passed for the term or
dismissed entirely. In the other the
defendant forfeited his bond, With
out discussing or considering the
matters which have caused the peev-
ing of the editor OF the Democrat
Record. we cannot refrain from
hazarding the opinion that this sort
OF action on the part of the county
court of McCurtain County suggests
the presence Of the proverbial mig
ger in the wo0dpile,"

Republicans Leaving Harding.
"They may rig up bogus campaign
issues and yell about bipartisan gangs
till they're black in the face. but the
simple truth is the republicans Of Iowa
are refusing to stand for Harding be-
cause they don't like the record he
made in the legislature.
They know that by reason Of that
record Harding has lined UP behind
him several groups of interests includ-
ing liquor, public service corporations
and the big outside IRE insurance COM
panies. which already have driven out
most Of the Iowa companies and would
like to go step further and crush the
farmers mutual companies by means
of the pooling measure which Harding
favored when a member Of the house"

Travelling Men For Meredith.
Two Iowa travelling men were COM

hotel last might. One was for Harding
the other for Meredith.
The Harding man who calls on fur
riiture dealers, said with mild man
nered little oath that he couldn't un-
derstand It at all, but 1T was a fact
that 80 per cent of the business men
on whom he called, most Of them re-
publicans were for Meredith.
His companion in turn said he mad
taken pains to size UP the situation
this past week, and had found that out
Of seventeen dealers in seventeen oil
terent tnwns-allc republicans-fftee
were for Meredith.
He couldn't say definitely. but his
impression was that the two who ad-
mitted that they We're supporters OF
Harding took that position largely be-
cause they were in sympathy with his
wet views, tho the fact that he hap
pens to be the republican candidate
may have some influence.

inently identified with the U. G. i,
and has wide acquaintance among
the travelling statesmen Of Iowa, de-
clared that fully Is per cent of the
commercial travellers are for Meredith.
He insisted that is conservative esti-
mate.
These are just straws indicating the
