WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE
elizabeth Evening II

Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
has given out the following state
ment:
THE Democratic party can reas-
onably put itself forward in the
present national campaign as the
one available instrumentality for
progressive service. Its record of
performance and its declared inten-
tons justify confident feeling that
the great body of voters who identi-
fed themselves with the Progressive
party in the hope of being enabled
to promote a definite set of princi-
Piles will now look to the Democratic
party as the party of progress. When
there is full appreciation OF the ex-
tent to which the Democratic party
has consummated the purposes set
forth in that wonderfully human
document adopted as the Progressive
platform in 1919, when the Pro-
gressives actually realize how close
ly their purposes, declared in 1912,
coincide with the purposes which
have animated the Democratic party
since that time, both in the form
ulation of the congressional enact
ments for which it is responsible
and of the platform promises. men
will cease to wonder at the evident
intention OF real progressives of ev-
cry party to align themselves behind
a single banner in this campaign.
After all. being progressive means
something fairly definite. The es-
sence of the thing Is a keen percep-
ton of the Governments duty in re-

Another speech by Emperor Will

Berlin. The Emperor said:
Comrades: 1t is your special
privilege to fight against the Eng

ON VITAL ISSUES OF THE DAY
"GeneraIities Are Without Val.

less" Say Writers.
WANT A DEFINITE STATEMENT

New York, Aug. 1.-On behalf of
committee of distinguished Amer
lean writer's, the executive group of
which met to-day at the Hotel Bilt-
more, George Creel gave out the fol-
lowing open letter:
To the Hon. Charles Il. Hughes: -
The professional writer's who sign
this letter have small interest in par
ties but a very deep interest in dem
ocracy. 1t is our hope, through this
voluntary association, to assist in
the promotion of honest, education
al discussion in order that funda-
mental issues may not be decided in
prejudice and ignorance.
Mr.. Wilson's beliefs have been en-
pressed in law and in declared poll
cies. He has made an open record
by which he may be judged. Wise
choice is not possible unless you
yourself make equally specific state
ment of purposes and convictions.
Without intent to offend we feel
justified in charging that in no sin
gle public utterance have you filed a
bona fide bill of particulars, nor
have you offered single construc-
tive suggestion.
Generalities are without value.
Blanket criticism is worthless. What
we desire to know, what it is fair
that the electorate should know, are
the exact details of your disagree
ment with President Wilson. What
has he done that you would not have
done, and what has he failed to do
that you would have done or propose
to do? Honesty and patriotism de-
mand that you put yourself on rec
ord in such a mnaner as to permit
the people to judge you as they are
now able to judge President Wilson.
Fo rexample:
First-Would you have filed in
slant protest against the invasion of
Belgium and backed up that protest
with the United States navy?
Second-It is arrant nonsense to
talk about action that would have
prevented the Lusitania tragedy.
The vague advertisement did not
appear until shortly before the hour
of sailing. The occurrence was one
of those things that civilization had
made the world regard as incredi-
able. The only honest question is
this: Would you have made the dis
aster the subject of diplomatic ne
gotiations or would you have broken
relations with Germany at once?
Third-Would you have urged
upon Congress an embargo upon the
shipment of munitions to the Allies?
Fourth--Would you urge univer-
sal compulsory military service?
Fifth-You are frank in stating
that Huerta's morals were of no
concern to America. Does this mean
that you would have recognized
Huerta?
Sixth-As matters stand to-day.
would you be in favor of intervening
in Mexico?
Seventh-Does your attack upon

Sheriff Hodge Bailey this afternoon

Whether the Norman authorities
will return Cleveland to this county is
a question as charges of having dis

O.C. W. Is

VTRTUOSO
Otto |. Fischer, Noted Pianist, Speaks
Of Value Of Educating Masses in
Music and its Progress

Otto L. Fischer, the great pianist
whose concertizing tours have made
him well known throughout this part
Of the country, is spending a part OF
his vacation in Chickasha. He will
return in few days to his post at the
head of the music department of the
Wichita College of Music.
Mr.. Fischer is loud in his praise of
the music faculty at the Oklahoma Col
leke for Women and what is being ac-
complished there. Prof Rudolph
Richter, head of the piano department,
he says, is recognized as teacher Of
great ability and a man well grounded
in his speciality. One great advantage
seen in the o. G.. W. is that all of the
faculty work in perfect harmony.
Il think that principle of free instruc-
tion observed at the o. c. w. is a
wonderful one" declared Mr.. Fischer
this morning, "and one which makes
especially for the advancement of
those students who could not afford
to pay for tuition.
The idea Of popularizing music is
one that is gaining ground rapidly of
late. We see this in the growth of
community choruses and peoples CON
certs. We realize the value of music
for the masses more nowadays than
for the few elect and musicians are
working more and more to bring mu
sic into every home. Cheap phono
graphs, piano players and such instru-
ments all help along to this end.
The effect of this will be to educate
the public to higher class of music.
Being an uplifting factor music has
deep moral and spiritual value and
a message which has a ready
appeal. In this respect it is different
from poetry, to appreciate which one
must understand at least the words.
The appeal of music, however, is such
direct one that it tends to bring peo.
pie together and in that respect is the
most democratic of all the arts.
An orchestra or band is Just like
ife itself Each person has an i'm.
'ortant role and no matter how in
lgnificant it may be it is Of absolute
Importance in making up the whole. "
Mr. Fischer will play in Tulsa in the
eginning Of January and two months
go gave a recital at Blackwell.
