SHOES WILL BE HIGH

When we say shoes will be high,
it is not intended to imply that they
will continue to be of high heels or
of high price, for both of these con-
ditions are accepted as a matter of
course. But they are to have high
tops-and in the summer time, too:
thus has decreed Dame Fashion. In
coming to this conclusion, this myth
ical and invisible lady has not been
entirely influenced by a desire to be
| frivilous and merely change the Gus
tom for the sake of novelty. But,
rather, ii would seem, has the inno-
walton come about through necessity.
And in this connection it may be
said, this is one of the rare instan-
ces where style has been made to
knuckle under to necessity. We all
know of the high-necked skirts that
hfave been worn during the past
winter, also we know that in order
to protect the delicate extremities OF
the wearers it has been rather con-
venient to have high-topped boots
to cover the interim. Unthoughted-
ly all the girls and the women have
rushed to the short-skirt idea and
now find themselves facing the pros
pect of the same abbreviated skirt
tor the summer season, il being as
sumed that the price Of dye-stuffs
and fancy cloths preclude the expen-
diture of more money in the elonga.
tion of the skirts. Now, il seems ia
have been a question of the short
skirt continuing or the low shoes
sidestepping from the spotlight. The
skirts either had to come down t.
the shoes or the shoes up to the skirt
hem-for low shoes with the decol
cite skirts do not always lend en-
chantment to the perspective. Just
why it was elected to make the sum.
mer shoe high-topped instead of the
skirt longer, we are at loss to know
for it seems that the additional cost
in either instance would be about
equal. OF course low shoes will be
worn, and it is suspected that there
are young ladies, and older ones too
for that matter, who feel themselves
qualified to wear them regardless oi
the length Of the skirt

KILLING OF LAWTON
FAMILY Is UNSOLNED

Lawton, Okla, March o. The
mystery of the killing n the Dan
O'Kane family of eight members Oh
last Sunday night>is as yet unsolved
and win not be known until Saturday
when the coroner's inqIest viii be
recOnvened for final verdict.
Hundreds of persons viewed the
bodies in a local undertaking estab-
lishment. One strange phase in the
situation lies in the fact that the
pocketbook taken from 0'Kane's
clothes and the currency inside We're
watersoaked. AS neighbors had
stated that the clothes in which Dan
O'Kane, was found were not the ones
he was wearing Sunday. the officers
have searched the vicinity for water
holes on the theory that O'Kane may
have attempted to drown himself,
but none Of sufficient depth were
found.
The bodies were taken to the Cath
olic church Wednesday morning. and
after the services tho remains were
laid to rest in the Lawton cemetery.

jury and convicted his neighbor's son
Of crime, and afterward had his own
son up before jury on which his
neighbor sat.-The contumely and
shame has been brought home to us.
why didn't the Senator offer a
law to prohibit the sailing Of ships
from this country across the Atlantic
and to Europe? Such legislation, it
seems, would have had the effect Of
accomplishing the purpose desired.
But to propose law which would
not permit them to sail on armed
vessels certain class of vessels
would be but to make the temptation
greater than beforehand when you
tell the class of people who want to
go to Europe during present condl-
tons that they cannot go except on
certain ships, you are debating to a
class who will go any way.
The law would have been fruitless;
It would not only have been this--it
would have been silly
Idealistic legislation is for ideal
conditions-an these conditions do
certainly not exist in the world at the
present. The old saying that lit is
not a theory which confronts us, but
condition, is very applicable. It
is no time for the exploitation of the
common sense of the republic; il is
rather a time for the assembling of
wits and acumen to deal with a con-
dition to which none but the blind
could be unaware of.
Although the Senator has not done
for Oklahoma many things for which
It is truly grateful. the people have
long been proud of him because of
his achievements in spite of a terrific
handicap. Bue the star seems now to
have reached its zenith; the height of
the pedestal has caused the idol to
waver and totter from it's dizzy ele-
walton. Can it be, alas! that all at
this late date is to. tumble to the
common dust OF failure-that resting
place of misguided good intentions
the dessert which is not meet for the
brain quality of the man?
We had long supposed that the
but physical. We hope we have not
been in error.
There is yet time, Mr.. Gore. The
people of Oklahoma have earnest eyes
upon your movements, sincere regard
for the patriotism which they believe
should be shown as their representa-
tive spirit. No man has ever remained
truly great or endeared to the hearts
of his fellow citizens who has failed
to acknowledge an error.
There is yet salvation for you, Sem
ator. You have made good too many
times in the past not to be able and
willing to restore yourself to public
confidence to the extent of re-
llinquishing your own ideals-should
the people who have put you where
YOU are consider them antagonistic
to the welfare of the country, and un-
worthy of Oklahoma.
We trust we are not yet---not quite
yet-ready to say "Vale, Gore"
