in the same undertaking, and thus
greatly promote the democratic spirit
1t would promote a spirit of real pa
triotism patriotism which recogniz-
es the truth that the people owe some
thing to the government as well as he
government something to the people,
a patriotism which would express itself,
not in hearing orations, waving flags,
and firing firecrackers, but in real,
practical selfdenying service.
And the experience of Switzerland
and Australia has proved that univer-
sal training is possible without the in
terference with protective industry
which has resulted from the kind of
military training required in Germany.
In a free republic the people govern
themselves and educate themselves.
They ought also to be prepared to de-
fend themselyes.-Th Outlook.

ing his flesh in painful manner he
was hanging amidships when found BY
the jailer and Bob Castleman when the
latter Went for a prisoner.
TO extricate the man from his un-
comfortable position added to his
pain A blow pipe was sent for and
several dissections of iron bars be-
came necessary, cold towels and as
bestos being applied to keep the flesh
from burning The man was in an
almost fainting condition when at last
relieved. From the exertion his body
had swollen to an extent that 1t was
almost impossible to keep anything

Therefore Bob was Justified in his
report that he had seen a man hung by

YOUNG DEMOCRATS SHOULD
BOOST FOR DICK

From all indications the Annua
Convention Of the Young Mems League
of Democratic Clubs to be held at
Shawnee will be the largest in the his
tory of the club
A large delegation will be sent from
all the counties in western Oklahoma.
The club at the University at Norman
will be well represented, and it is said
that more than 200 win go from Okla
homa City. McAlester and Ogmulgee
will be after the next convention, and
there is some rumor that Oklahoma
City will also be in the contest, how
ever no active fight has been started
from the capital city.
Dick Louthan of Chickasha and Ros-
coe Cox of Chandler are in the race
for president, and movement is on
foot to change the date of the annual
convention from February % until
some time in the fall so that it will be
after the primary and before the gen
eral election. Gov r. l.. Williams will
deliver the principal address. A large
banquet has been arranged for the
night of the convention at which
Judge j. B. R. Robertson will be the
speaker The headquarters will be in
the Wolcott hotel A special train will
be run from Oklahoma City at seven
o'clock in the morning returning that
night. 1t is expected that many of the
western delegates will go over on this
train.
It is to be hoped that big crowd of
young Democrats from Chickasha will
attend the meeting and that they will
do their full duty in the campaign to
make Mr.. Louthan the head of the or
ganization.

The following constitution was adop-

"Imbued with that spirit Of freedom
that was born in the breast Of the rev
olutionary fathers, that love of country
that springs from the hart Of every
true American and that readiness for
self-sacrifice which has proved the
refuge Of this republic in every hour
Of need, realizing that this republic
faces the greatest crisis in its history
we hereby declare our undying fealty
to the cause of liberty and offer our
time, energy fortunes and il need be
our lives to protect the dignity Of our
institutions and the supremacy OF our
flag.
"But realizing that personal valor is
fruitless unless intelIigently directed
and appreciated, and that the organiza,
tion Of an army Of citizen soldiers will
call for technical understanding of
the science of war. we propose to CO.
operate together for mutual instruction
in the basic principle drill regulation
and field service so that if orr coun-
try calls we. may offer ourselves not
only gladly but intelligently.
Therefore. invoking divine guidance
we enter upon this enterprise calmly
and without passion and here offer our
services to each other, to our country
