Money Market a Puzzle.

There are good reasons for stating
that the banks are somewhat at sea
over conflicting cross currents in the
money market. and il is evident that
with the Victory Loan complications
definite ideas as to what rates for
funds will be when this financing
is out OF the way, are lacking. On
account of the clouded outlook. some
brokerage institutions display a dis
position TO go very slow in expand

TOO MUCH JOHNSON"

COME YEARS AGO there was on the boards
~ popular comedy-that, Of course, was be-
fore the movies killed the theatrical business
entitled "Too Much Johnson" The title of that
play is recalled by the antics of one Hiram w.
Johnson, senator from California who just
now is trailing" President Wilson in a feeble
and foolish effort to discredit the chief eXecu-
tive as leader of world thought and to offset the
presidents arguments for the treaty with Ger
many.
Mr. Johnson is making an ass Of himself.
His speeches are of the quality of those delv-
cred by a shyster lawyer at local bar. Instead
of argument he employs abuse. He says one
thing in one sentence and cOntradlcts himself IN
another. When you read one of his speeches
you wonder how on earth an audience can SIT
through it without being overwhelmed with dis
gust inasmuch as its various parts do not hang
together do not cohere, do not dovetall; one
part gives the knockout punch to another part
and when the speech is ended it is like the two
snakes that have swallowed each other. There
is. however, one considerable difference-the
two snakes don't cause so much sound and fury
in the process.
Mr. Johnson relies chiefly, it appears, upon
his ability to tongue-lash the president. Why,
any old boy can tongue-lash with great show
of fury and sound if so minded. The fellow
who sits on the soap-box in the corner grocery
and spts tobacco juice at the store cat can,
and probably does, tongue-aSh the president
with as much fury as does Mr.. Johnson, though
not with as much sound. Mr.. Johnson's long
experience on the stump has given him one ad-
vantage over the corner grocery villifier of the
president-he has longer lung-reach.
Mr. Johnson is the gentleman who ran for
yice-president in 1912 on the ticket with Theo-
dore Roosevelt. He is the same who helped to
tick the stiletto into the back of the neck of
he republican party that year. He called him
self a progressive" then. Now he is in the
United States senate as a republican, and he is
being touted as probable candidate for the
presidency on the republican ticket. Mr.. John
ons head probably is turned by his remarkable
lotorety The republicans are welcome to him.
3ut if by any possibility they should nominate
nim for president they will discover, greatly to
their sorrow, that there is too much Johnson
at large.

hilate the League of Nations, II
repudiates not only all that was
won by the war but the declared
purpose for which the nations
poured out their blood and treas
ure.
The allies and the United States
took up arms to check the mad
ambition of Germany, to destroy
her dangerous military power, they
fought her until the purpose was
achieved. They fought that nations
and men might be free, that the
world might be governed by law,
and justice, not by will OF auto.
Gratis, and in the peace council
they drew up the covenant of ma.
tions to safeguard what they had
won at such immense cost. All
is sacrificed, all is lost, if these
reckless men of the Foreign Re.

spirit in which the committee pre-
pared its report, is Of such overtop'
ping Importance that comment up

Remark Ednoral from The Newly

The other nations will take US
on our own terms, for without US
their league is a wreck and all
their gains from d victorious peace
are imperiled."
These words from the report of
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations submitting amendments
TO the treaty, words of terrible i'm
port and colossal insolence, will
be read with profound regret by
every American whose eyes are
raised above the strifes of party,
with deep pain by every friend Of
America in those foreign lands
with which we are newly come in.
to relations of closer friendship.
They are not words spoken
thoughtlessly in the heat of de-
bate. They are part of report
prepared with deliberation, care
fully considered and approved by
the republican majority Of the COM
mittee, Mr. McCumber being the
only majority member who with
holds his assent, and they are sub
mitted to the senate and published
to the whole world.
There can be no misunderstand'

at present is worth only twenty-seven cents, we
are unable to buy here in Ardmore any of the

The New York Sun reporter who wired his
paper that President Wilson was greeted at
Independence, Mo-. when his train passed
through in the early morning, by women in

off the track than was the Associated Press re-
porter who wrote that Independence was the
birthplace of Jesse James. 1t is up to Missouri
