with clean record as an official.
thoroughly qualified for tho position
both as an efficient and successful
lawyer and In private life a man OF

Mr.. Swank is not personally well
known in Payne county. but in Guth-
rie and throughout Logan county he
has the record that stamps him as o
man OF deep, clean thought and clear
perception.
At this time. owing 10 the intricate
condition OF national affairs tho In
cumbent OF our judicial bench should
be a man who has been tried and
found. not only capable and well
lprepared for tho position with legal
knowledge. but also has that intrinsic
worth which gives justice It's true and
divine value.
Since the resignation OF Judgs
John r. Hickam OF saltwater. we
have heard Of no other applicant for
tho judicial bench OF this distrio.
Judge Hickam sustained serious In
iurics from car accident, which We
learn Ia the cause OF his withdrawal
We believe We are doing right ~

works under their general orders. The

to the charge, while they believe the
existing law too arbitrary and strin-
gent declare that some measure should
be on the statute to prevent careless

In the old days of the saloon In ore

argument that if the prohibitionlst
once succeeded in wiplng out the liquor
traffic they would next turn upon to-
bacco, the theatres, card playing and
other incidents that seem to thco to
make of this a wicked world. 1t was
then thought to be quite preposterous
argument false idea promulgated by
the willy liquor interests But liquor
prohibition is here and now we have a
county Prohibition party resolution,
adopted in all gravity, against the use
Of tobacco. The realization seems Just
as preposterous as the prediction The
movement can never gain much head
way beyond the 50 persons who attend
ed the convention, but it may he SAID
that if tobacco crusade had been
definitely linked with the liquor prohi-
