SELECTING COUNTY REGISTRARS
TO WORK UNDER NEW LAW
AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION

| Oklahoma City, Feb. 29.-Joo :
Morris, secretary of the senate, SAID
today that he is looking over the field
for men to appoint to positions OF
county registrar under the new law
He has sixty days in which to make
these appointments, but he says he
expects to complete the appointments
in less time. 1t is not likely that any
appointments will be made before the
meeting of the state central com
mittee, March 6, and probably most
of them will not be made until the
meeting of the state convention which
will probably be held March 80.
In addition to consulting the lead
ers of the party as to these appoint
ments, it is likely that the advice
of the state senators will be sought
by Mr.. Morris in preparing his list.
The sole duties of the county regis
trars seem to be to appoint precinct
registrars and secure the printing of
blanks and books for use of the lat
ter. The law provides no compensa-
ton for the county registrars.
Mr. Morris, in discussing the ap-
pointment of these officials, said:
81 consider the county registrars
as an exceedingly important office,
which should be filed by men who
are patriotic, broad and honest, so
that they will appoint like men for
precinct registrars, who will register
every honest, legal voter. On the
other hand, we do not want the
shifting, vacillating, illegal voters of
some of the oil districts and the ig-
norant, illegal negro vote registered.
Il am sure that the legislature and
the governor, who are responsible for
this legislation, desire nothing but
what is fair and just and to that end
| desire to have as much information
as possible regarding these appoint
ments. make this statement to put
at ease the minds of party workers
in the different counties and those of
the members of the legislature, as
suring them that they will be given
sufficient opportunity to investigate
and suggest who they desire for this
position"

ADA NEWS LIKES BURNS
The Ardmore Pastor Has OVERCOMING
Crowds to Hear Him.


The Ada News has MANY kind
things to say these days of Rcv. j.
W. Burns, pastoy of the First Chris
tian church of this city, who is hold
ing series of meetings there. At
the Sunday morning service last Sun
day every pew in the church was
filed, and at the evening service the
aisles were filled. Many men stood
throughout the service, and many
who could not get standing room we:e
turned away. DR.. Burns preached
both sermons. In the morning, ne
talked along the line of honot due
the fathers and at night he talked
on the trial of Jesus.

VERMONT RECRUITS FOR THE
BORDER

1t is not easy to see what good can be
accomplished by the dispatch of the re.
mainder of the Vermont National Guard
to the Mexican border at this time, two
months after the acute stage Of the re
lations between the United States and
Mexico was reached. The regiment, as
it was constituted on peace strength
is already encamped at Eagle Pass, Tex;
those that remain in the Vermont mo-
bilization camp are largely students of
Norwich university who were members
of the cavalry division of the V. n. G..
and who, since the first mobilization,
have been transferred to the infantry.
There are, in addition, few recruits at
tracted to the service through the ex-
pectation of active participation in war
maneuvers, if not in war itself, the whole
making a collection of 200 or more men.
Most of them are young fellows who had
every expectation OF resuming their col
lege courses during the latter part of
September; and now, after two months
of watchful waiting at Fort Ethan Allen
they are to be yanked across the CONT
nent to serve purpose nobody knows
what If it was the desire to give these
recruits the benefit of regular army
training the recruits should have been
taken along with the regiment when it
left Vermont the latter part OF June
even though they were not completely
1t would have been as easy to
equip them in the camp at Eagle Pass as
it would have been TO equip them in Yer
mont. Instead of that, however. the Of
iicials at Washington kept the men sim
ply marking time back here in Vermont
eating their patience away at the in
activity and the uncertainty of their
position until it approaches time when a
majority Of them ought to be getting
ready TO return to their college work,
and thew are unceremoniously ordered
TO the front Nor does there appear
10 be any cause for the transfer OF more
troops TO the Mexican border. Villa. &C
sording to Gen. Pershing himself, has

RUMANIA IN THE WAR

The entry of Rumania into the great
war can be attributed to political mo-
tives rather than to a sense of injustice
imposed upon Rumania by Austria Hun
gary or the latter's great ally, Germany.
Rumania is going into the war for ag-
grandizement rather than to avenge a
wrong. She has aspirations for expan
sion and for leadership among the Bal
kan nations; and the time seems ripe
for gaining such position, The Austro-
German combination has sunk from the
dominating position in the war and is no
longer the tremendous menace that it
was early in the war to the nation which
dared oppose. Russia, the historic ally
of Rumania, has been making great
sweeps into Austrian territory Just north
of Rumania; and the border seems safe
in that direction, while Austria again on
the western border is incapable of max
ing tremendous offensive drive against
Rumania. Moreover, Bulgaria, the Rl-
ndnldH HelpunoT " IHe SOUTHWARK, is
giving threat of becoming the dominat-
ing figure in Balkan politics, having al
ready overrun Greek territory clear to
the .Egean sea and almost without hind
rance on the part of the Greek govern
ment, which is playing a negligible part
in the stirring events that are taking
place in this southeastern corner of Eu-
rope. Rumana resents the branching
out of Bulgaria and secs an opportune
time to enter the war on the opposite
side; and even though she does not enter
actively into warfare with Bulgaria she
will permit the vast armies OF Russia
to cross her territory to become the
northern prong of the great nut-cracker
which threatens to squeeze Bulgaria far
back into her own confines. the southern
prong being the Anglo French and Serb
ian armies on the Saloniki front
So it is evident that Rumania is in the
war for the politics of it, not to avenge a /
wrong. just how much influence her en-

CURRENT COMMENT
The Authorship.

| One of the busiest men at the special
session of the legislature was Maj. Ben
Gates, smiling and genial aspirant to the
position of state auditor. Naturally, his
goodfellowship, good nature and good
looks make him mighty popular citizen
but he has not by any means tiled up
the legislature or the state and will have
"horse race" on his hands with Thorn
as H. Cave as an opponent.
The only serious argument made in
favor of Gates and against Cave is that
lawyer has always held the job OF state
auditor and that the legal questions com
ing up from time to time demand legal
mind and training.
This is an argument that dates back
to the time when the state had no at
torney general, and even the present au-
ditor frequently consults with the states
official counsel. This would be a custom
airy course for any auditor, and any bus
mess man could have the laws governing
disbursements pointed out by the attor-
ney general and make himself familiar
with them with very little trouble. In
doubtful cases, he could always consult
the attorney general.
The auditor of a railroad. insurance
company or other corporation is not
lawyer, but an accountant and an
executive, governed by certain fixed rules
and an expert in accuracy more than
law. Travelling auditors of the National
Life Insurance company. for instance,
have TO know the insurance and invest
ment laws OF every state in which their
policies or loans are held, Vet such audi
tors are not lawyers.
The National Life has a general coun-
sci. who would correspond To the attor
nev general Of the state, and who must
make himself familiar with the laws in
every state Of the union which affect his
business, but the auditors are
not lawvers-don't have to be.
The argument for a LAWYER a. state
auditor i purely a professional argu
nent. and there is no reason IN the world
