Threats, violence, harsh laws, policemen's
clubs. and armed soldiery have always been
the cause of mob violence so far back that
the memory of Man runneth not TO the con-
trary.
! IL may sound very well to hear one say:
Don't trifle with these people. Beat them
up. Throw them in Jail. Call out the
militia. Hang them to the first telegraph

So long as one does not advocate the
breaking Of the law, resistance TO legal
authority or dsloyalty to the Government
he has perfect right to expound his views
on Socialism, Bolshevism, or Anarchy The
Senators at Washington and the editors Of
various publications certainly are abusing

hearts confetti. It is poor taste, but it is
their Constitutional privilege.
The best thing to do with a gentleman

We are afraid of him.
To prosecute him brings multitudes to the

Did you read the Book of Kngs"-Ecclesiastes-
written by Solomon, the richest wsest and powerful
of Biblical times keeping in mind that it is the story
of man searching for happiness?
Try it, if you haven't.
There a who had but to raise his hand in
token of wish and that wish would be fulfilled il it
physically possible.
And yet he the unhappiest of men. He tried pleas
ure labor, the attainment of knowledge etc. only to find
them of no avail in bringing happiness to his heart.
Then he turned to the helping of others and found
therein the true happiness which had euded him in all
other trails.
II is true today it in Soomon's time-the only
REAL happiness is in SERVICE to your felowmen.

HAMON FOR COMMITTEEsHIP. @.
o. r.

Oklahoma City. Aug. "a formal
announcement OF his candidacy for
republican committeeman from Okla
homa, was made here today by Jake
l.. Hamon, oil operator of ArdmOre,
and former chairman of the state re-
publican central committee OF Okla
homa. The statement made by Ham
on places him on record unqualifiedly
for Major General Leonard Wood for
republican nominee for president.
The announcement touches in a
general way on conditions In Okla
homa and declare for vigorous cam
pign and "the fullest" publicity Of
those facts concerning democratic
misrule In Oklahoma, which so com
pletely justifies the overthrow of the
democratic party.
His. candidacy Is submitted ION a
twenty years" record in Oklahoma as
a loyal republican and an aggressive
party worker"
Hamon states as n reason for in
augurating his campaign at this
time that "the present committee
man who is a candidate for reelection
is now aggressively at work. and
those members OF the party who are
dissatisfied with the results attained
under bis leadership are entitled to
know that a chance for a new deal
will be afforded them"

CAN'T FORGET CORES ATTITUDE

Senator T. p, Gore. who during his
entire tenure of Office has been flood
ing the country with literature at the
expense of the government, using
government frank envelopes, all of
which was intended to further his
political aspirations. and who. in ad-
dition to this has had a brand OF
loyalty during the years OF the war
which has not smacked of the kind
OF patriotism and Americanism which
most OF us like to see in our public
officials, is out seeking reelection.
We miss our guess II Gore carries Off
many votes from Beaver county. Our
people are TIE kind who stand for
Americanism first. last and all the
time and they will not support any
man. republican or democrat, whose
loyalty is questionable.
