THE PHILADELPHIA

famous and agreeable example of
Philadelphianism is the geographical
restrictions as to the district where
polite life may be led; you may search
the world without finding anything
comparable to the feeling in Phila-
delphia concerning the regions north
of Market street.
There is an apocryphal story of a
delightful and famous old lady who
had seen here and there at aft
ernoon parties a younger woman
whose look somehow seemed to win
friendliness. Finding herself one day
descending some of the best white
marble door-steps in company with
this agreeable stranger, the elder lady
suggested driving her home, and they
stepped together into the snug
brougham, drawn by a sleek, fat
horse and driven by an equally sleek,
fat coachman.
James, we will drive Mrs. X
home" was the only order given.
The brougham started, and for a
period, while its occupants chatted
pleasantly, wandered somewhat aim

Just For a Principle

Chicago, Il.-George Clonnon must
spend year and a day in a Federal
penitentiary just for principle. Sew
eral days ago Assistant District Attor-
ney Igoe was told that Clonnon would
plead guilty to a charge that he ped
died. drugs. He said he would recon-
mend about fifteen days in Jail.
Clonnon announced later that he
wouldn't plead guilty. because it was
against his principles. and that he
would try his own case. He did. The
jury found him guilty in ten minutes.
Federal Judge HUMPHREY suggested
sending him to the Bridewell for a
short stay. Clonnon said he didn't
like that place. So the judge said ono

MOtorist Is Held
as Always Guilty

Police Commissioner Gillespie, of
Detroit, has come out with an edict
that is new to the regulation of traffic
in this country. Due to the great num-
Der of traffic accidents in Detroit in
which pedestrians have figured, the
commissioner holds that hereafter the
driver of car is responsible for acci-
dent to foot traffic under any CON
ditions-that is, even though a pedes-
trian carelessly back into the street
and gets run down, or if someone
drops apparently from nowhere in the
path of the car and gets hurt, or for
any other similar circumstance which
heretofore has been regarded as no
fault of the car driver, the latter
henceforth will be held responsible
and. according to the Gillespie edict,
will have to go to jail

Hates to Lose Pink Bath
Robe; Doesn't Miss Wife

st. Louis, Mo.-Lloyd Gibson, Pal
lister avenue druggist, didn't care so
much when his wife Bertha left him
and started proceedings for divorce,
she testified in Judge Van Zile's court.
Lloyds chief regret, she said, was that
he would be deprived of his wife's pink
bathrobe.
Judge Van Zile ordered Gibson to
return the bathrobe and several other
feminine belongings he is alleged to
have appropriated. The husband also
was ordered to pay temporary alimony
of S6 a week.

THE DUTY OF GRADY COUNTY
DEMOCRACY

All over the nation Democrats are
aware Of the fact that Woodrow VIII
son will not be reelected without put
ting up the hardest Kind Of fight. In
every state where there is any ques-
ton at all as to the result both parties
are battling with might and main.
Oklahoma is considered safely
Democratic state but from Republican
headquarters come confident claims
that this state viii be put into the
Hughes column. The Tulsa World, a
Republican paper, printed the follow
ing dispatch from Oklahoma City un-
der date of October 2S:
Certain victory for the Republicans
in Oklahoma at the election November
Z was presaged in reports from repre-
sentatives of the various counties, and
that the state stood good chance of
giving Governor Hughes ten thousand
mfIiority for president over Wilson
was predicted by J. J McGraw, ma
tional committeeman, at the meeting
Of the state Republican committee to-
day Conditions over the state never
looked better for Republican success
than at the present time, according to
views Of those who had made close
scrutiny of the conditions in their
neighborhood.
"The committee was called today to
take ain invoice of the situation in the
state before the battle of the ballots.
To get out the full vote on election
day, see that everyone votes and that
after the votes are cast that everyone
is counted right will be precautions
to be taken up with every precinct
committeeman representing the Repub
licans."
OF course we expect the hopes of
the Hughes contingent in Oklahoma to
be disappointed but there is no reason |
why the Democrats should take any
chances. The effect Of the re-enfran- |
chisement of the negroes remains to
be seen but nobody questions that it
will be Of vast benefit to the Repub
lican party. Under the circumstances,

NO CLASS FAvoRs
CBy George creel.5

(By George Creel)
Under President Wilson no class
has been favored and no class disre
garded 1t is America as a whole that
he has seen and served.
Honest business has been aided by
the Federal Receive act, the federal
trade commission, the shipping law
and the Clayton antitrust law
The farmer has been aided by the
rural credits act, the good roads bill
that provides $4,000 900 for highways,
the agricultural extension bill, the cot
ton futures act, the grain standards act
and the warehouse act.
Labor has been aided by the work
mems compensation act, the eight hour
day, the seamen's act, and laws put
ting an end to the abuse Of the injunc-
tion and Imprisonment without jury
trial.
Children have been aided by child
labor bill that lifts industry from the
backs of the little ones
And above all, the people Of the
United states have been saved from
the horrors and DISSOLUTION Of war by
the courage and statesmanship Of
Woodrow Wilson He has not sent the
youth Of America into Mexico to vail
date the shady concessions Of Wall
street gamblers. He has not plunged
the country into the European war at
the command of alien disloyalists who
put allegiance to a foreign flag above
allegiance to America.
Instead of a nation in mourning
sons rotting in foreign graves, or else
doomed to drag through life mangled,
crippled or blinded. we have nation
at peace, a nation at work. And it is
a peace with honor, prosperity with
Justice.

MAKE IT A CLEAN SWEEP

The Democratic county ticket was

election next Tuesday AS loyal Dem

clean sweep in Grady county from
Woodrow Wilson down to the town
ship officers.

term; for sheriff, Hodge Bailey, the
present incumbent; for county treas
urer and county superintendent, f.
N. Mullican and Moman H. Shepard
both serving their first terms All Of
these officers have made good, serving
the people faithfully and they merit
reelection. H. A. Cranwell. for coun-
ty surveyor, comes in the same class.
Oscar Simpson is the nominee for
county attorney and he has had two

it behooves all Democrats to get into
the game and go to the polls. There
are hundreds OF Democrats in Grady
county who never vote except in the
primary. There is no question that the
Republicans are making a tremendous
effort to get every one Of their adher-
ents to the polls and it is up to the
Democrats to do likewise. No matter
what other business You may have on
hands next Tuesday, remember that
your first duty is at the ballot box

ers for approval next Tuesday. They
won their nominations in the primary
and whether we voted for them or not
in August they deserve our support in
the party battle next week.
II should be remembered also that
a state senator is to be elected by the
district composed Of Grady and caddo
counties Mr.. Carpenter Of Caddo is
the Democratic candidate, There has
been considerable talk Of Republican
and So ialist fusion against Mr.. Car
