FROM OKLAHOMA
KNEE DEEP IN o

This town Of ours as a running average 70. some months past and
Just now furnishes DAILY and NIGHTLY the spectacle of half drunk to
waIy-eyed drunk men N the streets MORE OFTEN than any other town
we ever saw pr0porUonate to its size. We have always believed Okmulgee
had less selling in it. which is to say, selling liquor in joints than any
other town Of its size in the state. We are sure that is true OF it Just now
and for quite a length of time past. Last week alone there we're more
gallons of liquor caught and destroyed by he'sherff and his deputies in
the town and the country near it than ever before was taken in a week.
And the sheriff and his deputies have done their best consistently and all
the time before. And yet probably it would be agreed by those who had
opportunity to see the streets q a late hour last Saturday night THAT
NEVER IN THE TOWNS HISTORY were there so many on the streets
half full as were here that day and night. 1t was one of those dates when
booze and it's vile substitutes were in the town knee deep THEY ARE
ANKLE DEEP i'm the town with MORE or LESS and IRREGULAR FIRE.

IL sure Republican states are now In
the doubtful column.
The fight is upon the same old bat

the Republicans are more confident of
carrying Indiana than Ohio. There
seems TO be a revolt among the Ohio
Republicans, and many Of them have
been particularly impressed with the

The Cost OF High Living.

1t is indeed a very peculiar procedure for a government to allow
its own people to suffer, especially when the government claims to
be a government for the people and by the people.
Yes, this is good old free () America, o r supposedly so, yet
with the everinereasing prices on food products going up, with no
effort on the part of the government to stop it, would lead one to
believe that this is no longer a government for the people, or by
them either.
We believe in the trade extensions of any nation, but that trade
extension should be with the over products of our factories and
farms and not at a sacrifice to the American people. There is mel
Their need nor sense in the present prices, as there is no particular
shortage in crops o labor in America.
America and charity should come first then other nations. We
are not to blame for that senseiess a in Europe, and simply be.
cause they are Offering big prices for the things W need at home,
they II getting those necessities of life and the American people are
beginning to suffer from the sale of our food stufs to Europe. We
are not only paying outrageous prices, and many people having to
cut out much of the needed foods, but one society after another are
aiding the sufferers of the warning nations and allowing our own
poor people, of an equal number at home to suffer.
Charity begins at home, and America first should be looked aE.
ter, even to putting an embargo on food and clothing, in order to put
clothes II the American poor and food in their stomachs.
This nation will be destitute when the "a is over, and the after
math of that war will see this country driven to the fighting point if
our government don't intercede, and do something for it's people
while it can.
