The New York MayoraIty

The election of Judge Hyan as mayor of New York win doubtless be regarded by pacfsts and pro- Germans as triumph the nations war policy. They will probably think so the more because of the effort to introduce the policy into the municipal campaign as an issue We think now that that was mistake and that it contributed in great measure to the election of Judge Hylan by bringing solidy to his support all who dsaffected because of the
 The most that could be said against Hylan in this respect that he this kind of support; he was hated because of the had attached them selves to him. Perhaps he should have coupled with his proesations of loyalty a repudiation of this element of his following. But that is not the way of politicians. To them vote counts as much as an- other
 Hyan though appears not to have given this element any encouragement to believe that he would represent them. They did not support him because they loved him but because they hated him less His election, though 1t might benefit them materially or advance their opposition the nations war policy would be expression. and would be- come ralying point for pacfsts, proc Germans and the disoyal generally. all the country That we conceive is about all the harm that can result to the nation at large from the New York election
 Evidently the bulk of the loyal voters of New York declined to regard the war policy as an issue As to them in the attempt an issue the real issue on which Mitchell might have elected was showed into the back ground-the crimes of Tammany Voters in general divided according their opinions between democratic candidate and fusion candi- date, and voted for party rather than for men, In such contest in New York democratic candidate would of course have the best of it. Hylan had not only the democratic vote. but the solid support of Tammany we'll the solid support the pacifists and the disloyalists In this view his majority large as it was was not surprisingly large.
 We believe that this element would have much preferred the election Hquit they know stood for the things they stood for but believed that the election of a socialist candidate hopeless Nit chel of course their last choice. Hylan their second.

crops are sadly in arrears OF the
cattle which must be fed, into Tulsa
county, where he will, as agent or
the bank, place them on farms. Mr..
Graham has found that from 20 to
80 per cent more live stock can be
utilized in this county than now ex-
lists here and the proposition is to
furnish the farmer with the stock
so that he may realize the profits
therefrom.
Three Periods.
Farming" says Mr.. Graham" Is
divided into three periods; the
pioneer period, the mortgage period
and the era OF prosperity. Tulsa
county Is now In the mortgage
the uncomprehending are too much
inclined to say that we have poor
farmers hereabouts. The farmers
must put profits into interest and
notes, rather than into fences. barns
and houses"
1T is to help him out OF the slough
OF this mortgage period as well as
TO aid as much as possible in the
production OF food for the country,
that the bank has taken on his
feeder proposition. Benefits from 1t
will accrue not only to the nation
and the farmer and the bank but TO
every individual in the community.
We intend to place every feeder we
can, consistent with the amount of
roughage available in Tulsa county,
with the farmers of this community"
