WHITE SATIN GOWN BEST
FOR SINGING SHE THINKS
Anna Case, Who Is Coming 10 Tulsa.
Believes In Wearing
Pretty Clothes.

Anna Case, the charming soprano
of the Metropolitan Opera company
who Will appear here on November 20
at Convention hail. is another concert
and operate star who takes a firm
stand for'pretty clothes. "One must
work out the style which best suits
the individual type" says Miss Case.
The woman who doesn't know should
INA designer who will tell her what
she should wear. For myself, ! prefer
gowns of the modified Grecian style
or with the long straight lines of the
Egyptian costume. In the latter mode
! find lines in perfect harmony with
the concert artists work. 1t is dign-
fled and artistic in perfect keeping
with the simplicity that should char
nctcriZe the appearance of an artist
with serious work to perform"
In colors Miss Case prefers white.
"A white satin, made very plainly, is
ideal for most singers" she says, "and
ii lends itself beautifully to all back
grounds. | take off my hat to Legn-
ska for her stand, because she has the
courage of her convictions. If she is
sure that her simple little black vel
vet is the right thing for her, she
should wear it,"
Clothes arc not the bette noir to the
singer that they once were, Miss case
believes, because artists today are not
so sclf-indulgent as in former times
women artists have taken up ath
letics, thev swim and walk and ride
and play tennis. Consequently. they
retain their figtres and do not have
to present to their dreSSmakerS the
appalling problem of making large
woman appear slight and willowy. We
have very few hothouse artists now.

Special TO The World.
SHAMROCK, Okla, Nov. T. AS
evidence of the fertility and versatil-
ity of Oklahoma soil, the following is
in point: William Ritterbusch. for
merly a saltwater business man, re-
tired TO his farm. and this spring
planted one hundred acres in cotton.
When the plants were about foot in
height a hailstorm completely de-
stroyed it, and as it was too late to
replant. he sent for an agricultural
bulletin from the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural college at Saltwater, and after
reading about various late crop pros
poets, decided upon broom corn. He
had never raised any of this crop, but
decided to have try at 1t and planted
the cotton ground to broom corn. He
has just harvested his crop and baled
1t, and it will bring him in excess of
s12, 900 at present prices.

AGREED, FOR ONCE.

The Daily Oklahoman editoriallZes
at some length in eulogy of James j.
McGraw, Republican national commit o,
teeman from this state. on account OF
the stand he has taken with reference
to the alleged Republican Socialist fu-
sion In connection with the fair cleo
tion law squabble. The Oklahoman Is
quite right. We heartily agree with
every word 1t utters upon this sub
ject. "Mr. McGraw's position is the
position of an American" says the
Oklahoman, for the Socialist party
is u disloyal, un-American organiza-
ton. 1t has formally gone on record
to that effect. 1t Is against the war.
1t is against the government. It is
the tool Of kaiserlsm. II is a vlperish,
soditious thing" And again we quite
agree with our contemporary. The
World took a decided stand upon this
subject when the distasteful subject
was first broached prior to the cleo
tion. Better never have n change In
election laws than to attempt part
nership with the Socialists to realize
the aim, we said, This paper has
never approved of the fight that has
been going on ever since the election
and neither has Mr.. McGraw. who
stands as the foremost exponent of
Republicanism In Oklahoma today.
The World has opposed the disgrace.
ful, in-advised collusion with the So
cialists at every turn. In these col
umns we have fought II and the edi-
tor Of this paper opposed 1t in Repub-
lican meetings by word OF mouth from

NI.M YORK Is SAFE.

The election OF John Il. Hylan a
mayor of New York city Tuesday f.
in no wise dsconcerting 10 Loyal
Americans who have kept I'm touch
with the situation.
Hylan was the Tammany candidate,
he was the Hearst candidate. Those
two factors may cripple his efficiency
as mayor, and they may not, but most
assurcdly they will not prevent him
from giving an that he Possesses in
energy and. power to supporting the
government ana upholding the hands
OF tho president.
John Purroy Mitchell defeated him
self. lie was elected mayor on an
anu-Tammany platform, and strangely
enough, I'm view Of subsequent deyol-
opmoutg. his strongest nllywas william
r.. Hearst. But no sooner had he been
elevated to office than he placed him
sclf upon a golden perch ana an
uouuced. in actions IL not Ia words,
that he was cleaner, better ana more
efficient than any OF those who elected
him. lie refused to appoint to office
any of the followers Of Hearst, and
Immediately incurred the epn.ity Of
the publisher, At all times he posed
as "holicr than thou" official. You
either agreed with him and his poll
cios or you were corrupt. No one was
given the benefit of the doubt.
The people OF the United States did
not hear all of the criticisms Of
Mitchell that the citizens n New York
heard They did not understand it
when the Republican party nominated
a man named Bennett as their candi-
date for mayor over Mitchell They
were confused all the more when pic
lures were published showing great
crowds about the city han, demand
ent candidate Then came Theodore
Roosevclt-the same Roosevelt who
n few years ago also decided he was
bigger than his party-and likewise
came Justice Hughes and Elihu Root.
Each Of them plunged into The cam
paign with all the enthusiasm and ora
tory and vindictiYe at his command.
They presented to New York voters
this issudc: "Note for Mitchell or you
vote for Germany" It was the pet
tiest kind of political chicaneiy, and
Mitchtl fell right in for IT and boldly
proclaimed to his constituents that he
was the only genuine, unadulterated
American IN the race, and that TO elect
anybody but himself would be to tur1
New York over to the nations enemy.
Many thinking but misinformcd
individuals about the country took It
for granted that all this palaver was
true, but not the voters of Mex York.
They thot for themselves, and they
voted as their conscicnces dictated.
SO tho Flag still floats over the city
hall.
The statue Of liberty means as much
today ns II did day before yesterday
with Hylan at the helm New York
will hold its place at the forefront of
stalwart, patriotic American cities, and
New York and the nation will find. u
indeed they have not already found.
that there is more than one good man
in that vast city who IL capa ble of up
holding the traditions of great ana
glorious republic.
