Restrictions imposed by tho grain
corporation on deals in wheat are
said to have practically eliminated

GOOD ROADS MET MILES

II the motor car does nothing
else for its purchaser it at least
makes him thinN of good roads.
The prosperity Of the nation de-
pends upon good roads. There
fore the motor car carries it's
own conviction, says the Chica-
90 Tribune.
a farm ten miles from town
can be moved within five miles
OF town by good road and a
motor. Ten miles from town
once meant a whole days travel,
embracing, as it did, the time
needed to transact business. A
farmer often lost a day from his
farm work because he had to
stop and drive to town for an in
significant repair. Now a farm
er may drive ten miles in a mo-
tor, do his errand, and be back
hour. Thus is the city made elias
tie. 1t is drawn to the farmers
door The farms no longer are
remote. They have become the
suburbs.
Good roads break down and
scatter the city walls. Eggs and
milk cease to be mysterious fac
tors trickling into city homes
through devious channels. They
can be distributed within a few
hours after they are produced.
Schools and churches and
community establishments direct |
ly benefit from good roads. Ru- !
raj free delivery service becomes
efficient in fact. Transportation
OF building materials results in !
better homes, increase realty val
ues and multiplied social advan-
tages. Weather becomes a mat
ter of Indifference to the farmer
who has a motor and good
road.
We have every reason for good
roads. What we lack is the
roads. We have cities and towns
depending absolutely upon the
country. We have the country
isolated from he cities and
towns. The bond of interest be-
tween them cannot be oyer-esti-
mated.

SENATOR OWENS CHANCE

Those who keep well informed
concerning the trend of political
affairs are more than ever con
vinced that Oklahoma 5 candi-
date for the democratic nomina-
ton for president stands a good
show of landing the nomination.
Hit fitness for the position, his
capabilities, is cleanliness Of pub
lie and private life, his patriotic
duty, his record as United States
senator Ca record surpassed by
no man who has held that posi-
ton, his age, his experience, his
standing with his fellow states
men-all demonstrate that he is
Of presidential timber.
Another thing in his favor is
the fact that he women voters
must be reckoned with in select
ing a candidate and no man in
public will appear to IT, a more
than Robert L. Owen; az peal to
them for the reason that he
stands for--honesty, cleanliness
and the upbuilding Of the coun-
try along righteous lines.
Senator Owens platform is
one that cannot but appeal to
every right-minded man and
woman.
1t means something, and those
who know Mr.. Owen are certain
that, if nominated and elected
president, it is one that would be
observed too strictly.
Whatever may be the outcome
Of the National convention in
San Francisco, one thing is GER
tain and that is that Oklahoma
will have no cause to feel asham-
eel of her candidate. Miami |

responded rather closely to the
losses and gains of general busi-
ness. In seasons Of prosperity
the mails increase in quantity,
and there is greater use of all
| the postal facilities-money or
ders, registration, special deliv-
cry and parcel post. In periods
Of depression there is decline
in postal activities as in every
other line Of business.
The volume Of Christmas mail
in 1919 was a reliable index,
then, Of commercial and indus
trial conditions in this country.
1t indicated a widespread pros
perity. Reports from the princi-
pal postal gateways showed large
increases in every class of mat
ter. In some instances the quan-
titles of mail handled in given
cities were as much as l25 per
cent above those received and
despatched in the corresponding
three weeks of 1918. For the en-
tire country the volume Of postal
business was not less than % per
cent more than in the same rela-
tive period Of the previous year.
1t is quite evident from these
facts that if the cost of living is
high it is by means out of reach
of the average person. Wages
have risen 50 as to keep pace
with ascending prices for food,
and comforts Appar-
entity there is no destitution com
parable to that of past years
when the cost Of living was low
er, but still too high for thou
sands. Unemployment is the rare
exception and the prospect is for
even greater demands for labor
IF al sorts.
Those who have been predict
ng panics and recessions during
.he days of reconstruction"
should be agreeably surprised.
Fhere is no sign that the transi.
ion from war to peace is to DC
by any of the calami-
GUS conditions which nave char
lcterized the last several months
# European history. Even our
disturbances have tes-
flied indirectly to a tundamen-
ally sound condition If, things,
ince they arose not from lack
Il employment but from dissatis.
action among thousands who
we're actually at work.
1t will be exceedingly difficult
or politicians to convince the
american people that the situa-
ion could fail to be changed
or the worse by a substitution
[ new personnel, policies and
agislation for those that have
erved the country so well be-
ore, during and since the war.
