PIRATES STILL FLOURISH
IN MEXICAN WATERS,
SAY RECENT REPORTS

Mkxico City, Dec 2S.-Pirates,
buccaneers and marine freebooters,
story hook men in high leather boots
who swear terrible oaths and carry
huge swords, are not all dead. A
number of them have been found on
small islands off the west coast Of
Mexico and President Carranza has
dispatched from Mazatlan naval ex-
petition equipped for two months
service with the. object of routing the
outlaws. rnt SEE 'l
Travellers on the Pacific have told
of late of seeing numerous bands of
these pirates who have preyed upon
tramp vessels when occasion afforded
and at other times engaged in SNUG
Cling. Their headquarters are in the
almost inaccessible caves on lonely
islands, where, it is said, they have
stored much valuable booty which at
opportune moments they carry to
United States or South American
ports Most of their plumber is OBJ
tanned from Mexico.
The Mexican government is determ-
ined to rid its islands of the freeboot-
ers and its present expedition after
driving out the pirates will set UP
military posts to guard against their
return .Af l

MONROE DOCTRINE MANGLED.

COMETIMES we wonder i an imp of eyre
~ gious asninity has not burroWed into the
brain-pods of some of our United States sem
ators. There are times when they vote as if
their intelligences had cultivated imbecility
to the Nth degree We make this statement
more in sOrrow-and in pity--than in anger.
Last Friday the senate adopted reserva-
tion to Article 10 of the covenant of the
League of nations The reservation begins
thus: "'The United States assumes no obliga-
1ion to preserve the territorial rights or politi
cal independence Of any other country" ETC.
II that reservation is accepted by the presi-
dent and is written into the treaty, or engraft-
ed upon the treaty and accepted by the other
nations in the pact it kills the Monroe doc
trine deader than the Dickensan doornail.
Even since 1923 the United States has been
assuming obligations to preserve the territorial
integrity and the political independence of
other nations--of all the other nations in the
western hemisphere That and that alone, is
the Monroe dOctrine-that the United States
Of America undertakes to keep foreign hands
off the affairs of the several governments in
this hemisphere
The same fellows who have been bawling
about the Monroe doctrine being ema8culated
by the treaty: the same fellows who induced
President Wilson, when he went back to
Paris, to have the wording Of the treaty so
altered as to give definite assurance that the
Monroe doctrine was to remain inviolate; the
same fellows who have kept the world away

IMPORTANT DECISION
FOR WRIT FRANKLIN
IN THE LOWER COURT

PENDANTS, Thursday and Friday Of the
past week.
The issues between the parties were
sharply contested on both sides, II. A.
Ledbetter, Henry VI. Furman and John
son " McGill representing the plaintiff,
and Cruce & Potter OF Ardmore and
George $. Ramsey Of Muskogee repre-.
senting the defendants.
II appeared from the evidence that
Franklin purchased the leases in con.
troversy in section 21-4s.2w, from f. f.
Evans and l.. b. Evans, who were act
ing as agents Of w. w. Woodworth.
the purchase having been made at 4
o'clock in the afternoon on the Bird day
OF June. The Evans boys gave to Mr..
Franklin written contract Of purchase,
and Immediately thereafter went after
an assignment from Woodworth, the
holder Of the leases.
1t was further disclosed from the
testimony that there was co-partner-
ship existing between John Heenan,
X. w. Coe, L. c. Dings, C. l.. Anderson
c. T.. Sykes and X. A. Hefner where
by $4,000 was put up to buy leases, and
that Heenan and Coe were the desig.
mated agents to buy leases. In this
connection the testimony was to the
effect that Heenan and Coe were told
by the Evans boys, agents of Wood
worth. that the leases had been sold
TO Mr.. Franklin. In the face of this,
