TAHLEQUAH, Okla, May Is
The belief that tornadoes follow de-
fined routes and that after a period
Of years another twister will appear,
following the old track, is adhered
TO by many citizens of this section.
Among such are those who recall
that some forty years ago there was
a fearful storm which swept across
the same section of country devas-
tatci by the tornado Of Sunday
night. May >. This old-time storm,
according to aged citizens, came
with terrible rumble and roar aud
while. owing to the fact settlements
were few and far between, there was
small damage done, great trees were
twisted and torn and stones dis
lodged from the slopes, were driven
with force into the trunks of trees
So that they long remained and were
pointed out as evidence of the power
Of the angry spirits Of the wind.
Other citizens recall that storms Of
violence have passed through the
country in and near the Peggs local
ity, and according to the belief of
many, when another forty years
shall have passed another tornado
will appear and wreak havoc and

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Time was when the public did
not particularly care how much our
representatives in Washington spent.
But that was before the word billion
became an every day word around the
national capital. Expenditures have
become so lavish on the part of our
lawmakers that every man, woman and
child feels their effect now.
There should be a thorough house
cleaning in Washington next March by
the Republican party. By that | do
not mean that Democrats should be
swept out and Republicans put into
their places. mean that every office
holder who cannot give good account
of his stewardship should be removed;
every office that is not absolutely nee
cessary should be abolished. 1t has been

70 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Five Presidents of the United
States have died while in office; that
;s 10 say, one Of every five elected was
.pcceeded by his Vice President. In
view OF the potential Importance of the
Vice. Presidency indicated by these fig
ures. it is imperative that both the
government and the parties take par
s,eular care to make the duties and
smouments of the office commensurate
with its significance and to nominate
as candidates therefor men second in
shiIty only to Presidential nominees
Themselves.
The Vice President should be the
Chief Executives right-hand man and
principal adviser. He should be an ex
oihcio member Of the Cabinet; q rela-
.ionship of this sort would constitute
an excellent step toward ceordinating
administration and legislation. The
yiee-President should also be en-
powered-as one of your correspondents
has proposed-to assume the position
Of the President in the event of the
latter's illness or Interpretation.
1t would be but fair to emphasize
the dignity and moment of the Office
By increasing the salary to at least
$4,000; not only would this be more
adequate TO meet the living expenses
Of SO high an official, but the electorate
would be more inclined to consider the
yice-President's Importance.
Political parties have in the past
regarded the office as a cul-de-sac, and
valuable chiefly as te-attracting
medium through the favorite son proc
ess. This situation has been produc
tive Of dangerous consequences in our
history. Andrew Johnson, selected bv
the Republicans in 1864 to capture
some of the Southern vote, succeeded
to the Presidency after the assassina-
ton of Lincoln, and his Administration
was so unsatisfactory that he was i'm
pesched coming within single vote
Of being removed from office.
The Republican party should now
'ake care that its candidates for the
two highest Offices in the land be in
accord on all major matters Of policy.
and that both be men of exceptional
capacity and sterling merit.

America Always First
Led by Wise Counselors, 1t
Has Given Government
the Best of Everything

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The record of the Republican
party for more than sixty years is the
highest recommendation that can be
given in it's favor. 1t was in the little
hamlet of Ripon, Wis, that the first
steps were taken to bring into ex-
istence the Republican party.
The name Republican was adopted
at state convention of the new party
held at jackson, Mich, on July 6, 1854,
and by other Western state conven-
tlons on the 18th Of the same month
The party was founded in the cause of
human freedom and it's record is one
OF unwavering allegiance to the teach
lngs of the Fathers Of the Republic,
devotion to American aims, ideals and
institutions and the upholding of the
honor and glory of the American flag.
In every crisis the Republican party
has taken firm stand for the interests
OF the whole American people and has
promoted a spirit of national unity. In
1896 it stood as the unwavering cham
pion of the gold standard ard carried
the country on that issue. 1t has stood
IN every national convention for the
maintenance OF the principle Of pro-
lection to American industries.
1t has stood for the highest standard
in the selection Of the diplomatic and
consular officers. 1t has given to the
nation the mighty Lincoln, the illus
trious Grant, the martyred Garfield, the
sainted Mckinley and the indomitable
Roosevelt.
1t has given to the country the verv
highest type of public officials in the
Cabinet places and has been the firm
upholder of the civil service system.
It has stood for America first, last
and all of the time. 1t believes that the
American form of government is the
greatest ever devised.

tional resources and the champion of

To-Day's Prize Letter

TO the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: Whether we fought tho wor
to make the world safe for democ-
racy or democracy safe in the United
States Is perhaps moro a matter for
history than for party programs, but
what that democracy we fought for
Is, how real it is and how it can be
made more real is the most vital
question before the American people.
Is the will of the people ruling this
country to-day? Can the will of the
people be ascertained, and can it be
trained and intelligent will?
Most of us agree that the mere fol-
lowing of political parties or leaders
is not satisfactory revelation of the
will of the people The "big stick"
rule Of the individual is ccasing to
be regarded as the most efficient
method in politics, as in business.
1t is through groups that important
business of all kinds is now accom-
plshed; groups where minds can
meet, where each makes his contri-
button and where the result is
new creation from new unit. The

The start has been made in apnlv-

ments of community together as

the lie of all are contributing toward
the development Of real democracy.
Just so far as such group meetings
can be formed from various walks
OF life, just that far will they con-
tribute to the advance of our form
of government.
The national government can ma
terialE assist in this development
through the stress laid by the bu-
reaus of education and immigration
