, short and ugly word" might be ap-
piled 10 Mr.. Burleson with perfect pro.
prietr.
Mr.. Burleson has been one of the
chief offenders Of the administration
! in ignoring the civil service law, and
one OF the most active hooters Of the
service. We have had some evidence
of his work in this State. where ef.
ficient and honest Republican post
masters were removed before their
commissions expired on trumpet Up
charges His work has been scandal
and an exhibition of the rankest kind
Of petty politics. In the. case of DR..
! Mcneil his refusal TO accede 10 the
Departments demand for the demotion
of his Republican assistant postmaster
was the prime cause Of his own ais
missal. If MIR. Burleson was INNOCENT
of any political motives in making the
changes why did he refuse to give the
Senate Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads the papers in the case, rs
requested? Again why did he threat
en- to have the assistant postmaster re-
,, moved entirely from the service on
charges. il he did not consent to his
demotion. If there were any grounds
for the alleged charges, why were
these 10 be overlooked If the subordl.
nate did not make fuss" about he
changes?
lIr. Burleson makes a very poor de-
tense. He has muddied the waters N
stead OF clearing them. He is not
honest enough TO come out openly and
declare that he has no respect for the
civil service law, or any law that in
terferes with the advancement of tie
administration chances Of succeeding
itself. He Is simply a civil service
raider, that deserving DEMOCRATS
may benefit. without any consideration
for. the decencies and proprieties trat
should govern such high and respon-
sible administrative office as he oc-
cupies.

THE VOICES OF CHAGRIN.

The persistent efforts OF the Demo
cratic press to keep alive the alleged
factional disturbances in the Republl-
can party is somewhat pitiful. 1t is
mere desperation which provokes the
ill-concealed chagrin they are obsessel
with over the peaceful termination OF
the contest between Judge Robinson
and General Lilly. Some Of the Demo
cratic papers have gone 10 such en-
tremes as to have bestrayed the utter
falseness of their assertions over the
continued "ruction In Republican
ranks" They have depended so long
on Republican weakness and not their
own strength for success that 1t has
become a chronic campaign cry With
them TO vocitercate "dissension in ;he
Republican party" 1t is the same dis
appointment that overcome them when
harmony came out of prospective con-
fusion at Chicago. The situation IS
we'll understood among Republicans.
Without going TOO deep into the
matter it is suggested that the Demo-
cratic press will have enough to do in
attending to their own Quarrels. At
it is they have hard work 10 keep the
party surface placid, but once In
awhile some honest Democratic paper
speaks out, and We get q glimpse Of
the turmoil and bitterness that is rag
ing underneath. Such paper is the

Brilliant Displays at Tulsa
Exhibition Attracting the
Crowds; Many Features

The success and the large crowds

tcally decorated and arranged to at
tract those interested to the displays
of things electric.
Thousands of electrical appliances
and accessories were shown by expert
demonstrators and statesmen, and
everything from the electric tourists
iron to the hair curler and bread
toaster were on exhibition.
one of the most attractive features
OF the electric show was the demon
stration given of the electric fire
alarm system, maintained by the
Tulsa fire department. This demon
stration is in charge of Chief Elec-
trician and Signal Officer Norris, and
during the evening he presented more
than 1900 instruction cards to visi-
tors, and demonstrated the workings
Of the alarm to at least a thousand,
who cared to become better acquaint-

Another interesting demonstration
was that of the electric cooking uten-
Sils, donated by all Of the exhibitors,
and which was presided over by five

During the evening several scores of
visitors were treated to the tasteful
