'Well. Wen see!" replied the leader
of the holdups, and they rummaged
thru the boxes until satisfied there
was no liquor In the car. Then they
permitted Hart TO go.
''Drive on" said the men.
"No,~you go first; we want TO go
slow" said Mrs. Vaughn, who was
afraid the bandits would fire into
them again. The re-entered their
machine and dashed away.
Hardly had they disappeared when
another automobile came loaded
with officers. When Hart had re-
lated the hold-up the officers told
him the bandits were high jacks"
who infest the roads in that section
and lay for whisky runners. holding
them at the point of six-shooters and
taking their liquor away from them.

side and approached them. He, too.
examined their car, but finding nv
liquor, disappeared into the wooos.
They Turn Back.
BY this time Hart and the women,
unnerved at the dangers they had un-
dergone. decided they would not at

sun was down and they were still la
from home. So they turned back and
spent the night in Nowata. mae

her room thru the night.

AFTER TIE BEILWETHERS.

1t is announced that the govern
ment is still hot on the trail OF those
who have laid themselves liable for
prosecution for sedition, and null
titudc of indictments have been is
sued, preparatory to a general round
up OF traitors II is noticeable, how
ever, that the authorities are going
after those particularly who have
been the cause OF leading many
others into trouble, rather than 10
punish indiscriminately all those who
have been guilty of seditious acts,
This is a wise and just discrimination.
There are many people in this coun-
try who have been dragged into this
conspiracy without knowing what
themselves liable TO penalties with
out understanding the full import of
their conduct and without knowing
that they were committing seri-
Gus offense Uuder the present cir
cumstances j. IS best that these
should be let off with a wholesome
scare. but II is important that the
ringleaders. the agitators. the men
who knew better but knowingly led
others, less well informed, into of
fenses against the nation, should be
made to feel the full force of the
law.
One OF these has been taken from
Tulsa. We know nothing about this
mans individual culpabllity. but on
general principles we are ready TO
approve of his detention and investi
CATION. lie has posed as an in
structor of others. and in doing so he
is alike responsible for their crime
as won as for his own. For the rank
and file of his mislod followers we
have nothing but pity. We are not
maKing war on people who have been
led By long tolerance of disloyal prop
aganua to believe that they had
right to think and speak against
patriotic principles. They will learn
better But for every man who has
arrogated to himself the office of
teaching others contempt for the
Flag and resistance TO the govern
ment under which he lives and from
which he receives protection. we say
give him the limit OF his iniquity, so
that no more shall anarchy and Sc
dition dare to raise its ugly head in
our fair land.

Briton Pleads for Teamwork.

Briton Pleads for Teamwork.
Sir Frederick Black of the British
war mission made a strong plea for
the earnest cooperation of the United
States, and especially oil men. Ia inc
bitter war against the submarines and
the German pitiless warfare.
Sir Frederick Black paid Tulsa u
fine compliment in his speech and eX-
pressed pleasure in the fact that he
was to be in the center Of the oil
country during the next few days
and that he expected~>to find most
hearty co-operation in his mission,
which is to bring about better un.
derstanding of war conditions.
II. W. Moffitt. as is usual with him,
stirred the great crowd 10 the highest
pItch of enthusiasm by his patriotic
address and was followed Ny Doctor
Haney, representing the federal
trades commission, who explained the
method by which the government is
cndcavoring TO reach proper under
standing on costs.
Rogers Well Received.
Harry Rogers spoke for the oil
producers and his efforts brought
forth a spontaneous outburs. CT APP

and many were reaching for their
hats and overcoats when he was called
upon TO address the b9DuIn,. not "A
single man left tho banquet room
until he had fin shed. ON all sides
was heard the strongest endorsement
of his candidacy for soYcrnCr of The
state of Oklahoma.
Perhaps the greatest effort of them
all and one that brought the most
spontaneous applause was the speech
wherein Il. A. Perry introduced A
Clark Bedford. Mr.. Perry said;
We meet here as representatives OF
one of the greatest of the worlds in
dustries and altho not called for that
express purpose. the whole trend OF
thot of men of our business will
inevitably lead us to discussion OF
the relation of the oil industry to the
war and the attitude of the oil pro-
ducers and refiners towards its con-
duct"
The party of distinguished oil mer
are to be in Tulsa Wednesday. There
will doubtless be an opportunity fol
all to hear the representatives of the
various heads of the oil industry and
certainly Tulsa will give them a royal
welcome.
The following resolution was unani
mously adopted at the close of tn,
meeting
Resolved, that the producers
transporters, refipers and marketers
of crude OH and all its products here
assembled pledge anew their undivided
loyalty to the government and arc

THE CHANGE.

Twas hard to think that he must go.
We knew ,hnt We should miss him 80,
". thought that he must always stay
Beside us laughing, day by dhyi
That he must never know the care
And hurt and grief Of life out there.
Then came the call for youth, and he
Talked with his mother and with me-
And suddenly We learned the boy
Was hungering TO know the Joy
OF doing something real with lfe,
And that he crayed the test OF striie
And 10 we stceled ourselves TO dread
To zee at night his empty bed
To feel the silence and the gloom
I hat hovcrs 'er his vacant room
And though We wept the day ne went,
And many lonely hour we've spent,
We've come to think As he, somehow,
And We are NOR. contonted now;
We re- proud that we can stand ana say
We have a boy who's gone away.
And we hre glad to know that he
Is serving where he ought TO be.

methods which have been favored by the government oA1cials in the rnanu- faeture thereof. This is brought out in evidence which has been taken showing that attention had been called 10 the defective shells encountered but that there was such strong con fidence in the formula used by the officials at the arsenals that 1t was believed the trouble would be even trally overcome and no radical changes were made.
 Inasmuch as the hearings have not been completed and no report has been made. 1t is too early to pass judgment upon the matter. It is the the trouble lies and to recommend such changes as will overcome it, but it cannot help being understood that there can be no careleEsness permit ted in the manufacture of the amrnu- milton which the armies of this coun- try must use on the battlenelds of France or anywhere else. This coun- try must do it's utmost to provide the best Experiments are all right for the production of better cartridges but there must be no thought of sup plying such ammunition as the best obtainable unless such is actually. the case and it has been doubly proved. There Is too much at risk to permit any laxity in this respect. Our troops must have tho best ammunition that can be made whether it is made after a particular pet formula or not.
