The man we have in mind at this
minute said to US a short time since,
81 do not always want to be wage
Garner. / hope for independence in
middle life, and want the best of
opportunities for my children and
comfort and freedom from financial
worries in old age" For men of that
type there are more advantages on
the farm they many realize 1t yields
good living and most important of
all, has prospects for the future.
One of our country's most thought
meeting of a woman's club that was
working for the betterment of its
schools, "You may beautify your
parks and pave your streets; you may
glorify your club, your city, your
state or your home, but no more en-
Iiching endowment can you leave to
posterity than to establish within
reach of every boy and girl the OPP
psrtunity, coupled with necessity, to
acquire a useful working education,
and TO employ better office manners"
The business women's clubs of the
country are punches of serious minded
women and the women's clubs of the
nation are standing by them as little
sisters" in business. These older
women, whenever they can do so tact
fully, are encouraging inspirations
and better Office manners to a large
degree They encourage the steno-
graphers and store clerks to cease
chewing gum and not to have private
telephone calls during Office hours,
and to quit giggling and dress suitab-
~ for business. These good women
have undertaken a large order, to be
sure, but if they can make good man
ners and tasteful clothes the custom
in Offices, their efforts will be worth
while and they will set fashion that
will spread satisfaction in the heart
of every business man throughout the
land. Many business men assert that
"the manners of Office girls are un-I
doubtedly improving, but sometimes
the appearance and conduct of young
women in public places is saddeniug
to say the least" Fundamentally,
these little women are all right, only
just bewildered by the times, just as
their mothers undoubtedly are. But
the women's clubs are going into the
matter in the right way, helping and
giving tactful advice, all of which in
spires them wonderfully, and we won
der that while they are about it, if it
isn't possible for them to do some
thing for the boys as well.

You can at least get something into

sermon, and then ask yourself, six days
shalt thou-What?"
In the days when the voice of God was
heard in the land, when men who were
close to Diety held actual converse with
Him, He gave the commandment, six days
shalt thou labor and on the seventh thou
shalt rest"
The modern Interpretation. too often
practiced and put into effect, may read,
'Six days shalt thou graft. six days shalt
thou flourish and wax fat from the pocket
books of thy neighbors, and on the seventh
shalt thou lie in wait and scheme schemes
for the next six days which shalt precede
the next seventh days scheming"
AS we stated in the beginning, we do not
write these lines with any idea of stepping
on anyone's corns, or of fitting on anyone's
foot shoe which is too tight. But we do
write them, asking you to read them, to
ponder upon them during this entire beauti
full and holy Sabbath day, asking yourself
repeatedly. asking yourself as the ward
heeer voteS-eary and often, Have | sold
my customers throughout the six days just
past, only really fresh eggs eggs laid by a
hen which yet cackeleth in the land of the
living? Have sold only fresh milk which
was drained from the udder of lowing kline
during the day upon which l sold it? Did
| pour into the steaming coffee, cream which
came from real cow, or cream which bub-
bled forth from seal-packed can? Did
sell only that genuine country or dairy but
ter, which had its birth in the agitation
and travail of curdled milk, or did | sell
1 them the "butter" which comes from dairy
room of some packing house and the labo-
ratory of some chemSt?"
And then, if your conscience is as clear
as crystal, you may go on and PROFOUND

to what other things you did during the
six days thou didst-What?

THE NEXT GOVERNOR

They are already specuating over

We must all acknowledge. Democrats

not enough business sense in the manner in

Mr. Dennis says, 'The farmers have re-
ceived the aid they asked for in raising this
crop, and the relief was obtained in your
borrowing the funds to loan them. They
promised to pay you when they matured this
crop you cannot expect renewal OF
your obligation you must make good
your promise. To do this you must collect
from the individual who promised to pay on
the maturity of this crop. You must

No thought here save that which is born

their faces, working early and late, helping

SIX DAYS SHALT THOU

Without wishing to step upon anyOne's
corns, or fit shoe which pinches on any
ones foot, we call your attention to the few
lines which heads this column, today un-
der the caption of Thought for the Day"
We call your attention to it, expressing,
at the time the hope that you will read it
just before you start to church. that you
will remember it while you sit in church,
that you will think of it as you rest be-
meath the pulpit and hearken to the words
of wisdom as they fall from the preachers
lips as he eXpounds the wisdom of Old Tes-
lament, or elucidates upon the teachings OF
the Savior Of man, of the Christ who scourg-
ed the money changers from the temple,
The Bible tells us that man should labor
for six days, resting upon the seventh, Gus
tom has decreed that the average man, no
matter at what avocation he labors during
the six days. shall go to some place of wor
ship on the seventh, there 10 make show
of recognizing the Supreme Power which
has guarded him and protected him and
watched over him, his family and his world
ly possession during The preceding six
days.
We were told by ono Of the greatest
statesmen of the Western World, that all
"men are created free and equal" but we
have not been told that all men are created
with an Unborn and inherent aversion to emu
lating the example Of Bret Harte's heather
Chinee, who "for ways that were dark and
for tricks that were mean, was peculiar"
Hence it is we express the hope that the
average man, going to church today, promp-
ted by the average reason. VINO has sold,
during the six days set aside for labor the
average line of provender, will ponder upon
the words printed at the head of this col
umn, and ask himself, as the preacher
dwells upon the beauties of paradise, if
the eggs he sold were really fresh, or the
fruits of the efforts of some hen long since
decayed and passed to that hennery from
which no fowl has ever returned,
And after he has answered that query
in manner perfectly satisfactory to his
own conscience we would have him ask
himself about that butter which never saw
COW and the fresh milk which has been
so long drawn from the COW that one swal-
low would be enough to curdle all the mob
Ter impulses which might have been enter
tanned by the man who drinks it.

die any acts of petty graft upon any one

There never has been, there is not now,
there never will be more than two leading
and representative parties All third par
ties, political history shows are more or
less chimerical in their platforms and pro-
fessed beliefs and are therefore destined to
be short-lived and of little avail in straight
ening out the snarls in the affairs of state.
Thus it is that the majority of the people of
this country are found affiliated with either
the Democrat party, or the Republican
party, believing, according to the party with
which they may be found in the fundamen-
tails of that party, voting for the candidates
of that party, exerting every effort, putting
forth the best endeavors to bring about the
success of that party, the winning of the
candidates of that party in the general elec-
tions.
This being the undsputed fact, we agree
with the McAlester News-Capital when it
says that the people of both parties should
devote more attention to the character Of
the men and women for whom they vote in
the primaries
While it is true that there are but two
leading parties, that there can never be but
two political organizations which will num-
Der jointly, among the greater part of the
thinking voters, it is also true that the in
dependent spirit has become more pro-
nomced, more in evidence, and the party
which looks we'll into the merits and demer-
its of those who shall be nominated for the
different offices.
Beyond question Oklahoma is still
Democrat state, but if the Democrats expect
to redeem the state from it's recent back
sliding, then the leaders of that party must
be real leaders, leaders who are imbued with
determination that clean politics shall be in
evidence and that only the best material will
be nominated to carry on for the Democracy
in the next election.
The Republicans of Oklahoma know that
their party now has a fighting chance in the
state. The Republicans of Oklahoma realize
that the recent landslide does not mean that
Oklahoma has gone over to Republicanism,
body and SOUL and knowing this, the Demo-
Gratis of Oklahoma may expect to see only
the best men and women nominated by the
party of the opposition two years from now.
The people of this state are entitled to
good government. Hence, again we say we
agree with the News-Captal and Join with it
in saying that both Democrats and Repub-
licans had better set their nets and bait their
traps with capable, public-spirted business
men who do not show any stains from the
mud-slinging of the 1920 campaign.
