AMERICAN FORCIBLY KEPT
ON CANADIAN-AUSTRALIAN BOAT
By The Associated Press

Sydney, Australia, August 4.-Un-
less Reginald Harkins ships fireman.
who described himself as an American
citizen, was allowed 10 land from the
Canadian Australian liner Makura
when that vessel reached Vancouver
upon her last voyage from here to
that port, or he managed TO land
somewhere en- route, he runs the risk
of being carted up and down the
Pacific indefinitely.
Harkins' account OF himself, given
in Sydney just before the Makura
sailed from here early in June with
him on board, was as follows;
Back in January a man with the
same name as / reached Vancouver
on this boat. He asked for a day
off but the chief engineer refused
him. He went ashore without leave,
got into street fight had his leg
broken and was taken to hospital.
The chief engineer reported him a
deserter. The Canadian authorities ar.
rested me as being the Reginald Hark-
ins who had deserted.
"They put me on board the liner
Niagara bound for Sydney. l didn't
want to go, so when the steamer
reached Honolulu / left her. At
the instigation Of the Union Steamship
Company, agents for the Canadian.
Australian boats the immigration au.
thorities at Honolulu arrested me and
forcbly put me on board the Makura.
Not wanting TO be idle / worked as
a stoker from Honolulu. | signed at
IA pounds sterling a month. When
1 reached here l couldn't get my
money and the Canadian authorities
wouldn't let me off the ship.
Il was born in Omaha, Nebraska,
AZ years ago. l left America when
| was years old. l came to Aus
tralia and stayed here until | was
% years old. Since then ! have
travelled about the world in ships.
When l was brought on board this
boat 0the Makura) at Honolulu the
chief engineer and the purser ad.
mitted that l was not the man who
went off the boat at Vancouver, but
in spite Of all that the captain took
me out to sea-"
Harkins complained further that on
the strength of promises by the Gus.
tom authorities at Sydney that he
would be released from detention on
the Makura If he signed certificate
that he was an alien. He signed the
paper but the promise was not kept.
The American consul here, +. j.
Norton, took up Harkins' case, but
was unable to do anything on the
mans behalf because Of lack OF
proper proof of American citizenship
'The whole thing he said, goes
back to the action Of the Canadian
authorities"

IT'S CORDS

Dallas is building a city 1t is
luildng upon foundation Of merit
backed up by a progressive set of
citizens
In a commercial way Dallas first
became known as the greatest leather
market in the United States. For
many years that city sold more
ther goods, such as harness and
.. Hes than any other city in the
world. 1t may hold that record now
but naturally with the coming of
the automobile and the truck the
leather market does not take the
same prominence in the commercial
world that the industry formerly did
For many years Dallas has been
building up the greatest fair in the
United States and ii has succeeded
well. The Dallas Fair is the great
est institution Of the kind in the
United States and the only time it
is surpassed is when a Worlds Fair
is given. Dallas has demonstrated
that it can do things and the ac-
ccmplishment of one thing leads to
the undertaking of another.
Dallas desires now to become a
greater wholesale center. The work
Of lengthening the city's cords has
begun, a campaign Is being made TO
induce merchants TO come to Dallas
to do their trading In making hun.
dreds of purchases the merchant can
buy just as well in Dallas as in New
York. About the only difference lies
in the prestige that it gives the mer.
chant. Customers like to feel that
their merchant trades with the larg
est houses in the world, il gives
store more prestige to do its buy
ing in New York but as a matter Of
fact much merchandise comes from
Dallas to the stores of North Texas
and throughout Oklahoma.
1t will require patience and work
for Dallas TO build up prestige and
as prestige comes the market will
expand and when once it is estab-
lished as a wholesale center the vol
ume Of its business will be doubled

FORFEIT RIGHT TO COMPLAIN

Ifuyou are not Interested enough
TO vote you have no right to enter
into a campaign of criticism of the
officials that your neighbors have
selected
Ardmore has had two hundred or
more citizens to remain at home up
10 a few hours or days before the
polls were opened and then they have
gone on their vacation trips and
allowed the full responsibility of the
election to rest upon their neigh
bors.
Some Of those who left are the loud
est ones to create disturbances. They
have sacrificed nothing for their
county and city and state. The gov
ernment has not had the advantage
of their vote but often they are the
first to raise objections to the con-
duct of officials.
Again We repeat that the man who
does not think enough of his county
TO stay at home on election days is
not entitled TO be the loudest one TO
condemn the men whom his neigh
bors have selected.
The people who have voted have
done their duty, they have used the
best judgment they have, they have
voted for the kind of government
that best suits them, they have voted
for the candidates whom they believe
will administer government best to
their liking and after all government
is sort Of compromise. There are
men and women Of different shades
oe opinion, the law entities them to
the use of the ballot and all must
make up our minds to take what the
majority has given us and abide by
hat decision pleasantly and if things
have not gone to suit you line up for
a change two years hence. But make
up your minds to stay with your
party.
The best government that has ever
been found is party government 1t
has been a natural growth. 1t has
come from necessity and the country
las never reached that point yet
whore it can do without party or
ganization and without party govern
Inent.
There is a tendency at this time
10 grow away from party and that in
dependence Of thought pcryades both
the Old parties and when the time
comes for Independent government
without the aid OF political parties
then the people viii be willing
to adopt it but at this time
the vast majority Of the people stand
for party government and reforms or
advance steps that 90 not come nat
urally bring more dissatisfaction and
harm thn they produce good. The
sensible thing to do is to stick TO the
party Of which you are member
and with which you are affiliated and
make that party responsible Tor good
government.

OKLAHOMA'S RECORD


The United States census bureau
has recently made public the last
official survey of the state of Okla
homa, complete in every detail with
the exception Of the present popula-
tion. which has not yet been checked
up. The figures published mark the
state as one Of the five most pros.
porous in the country, and reveal
strides in its progress during the
past ten years which have been ap-
preached by no other commonwealth
of the nation.
Notwithstanding that the state is
| only Il years old, having been admit
ted to the union in 1907, it already
ranks tenth among the states for the
total value Of crops produced, The
value of crops produced entirely with
in Oklahoma last year was $547, ,753,-
900, to which wealth is added s214,-
Isl, 900 for the value of live stock
Considering that the population Of the
entire state is approximately $500, 900,
the production of food stuffs worth
very close TO $500, 900, 900 is q re-
markable record. No state produced
larger crops per person, with the ex-
ception of Iowa, to which Oklahoma
was a close second.
According to the report, there are
90 If,.tr g., =,
the state. The average income of
! these households last year was 49,
600 OOO-a remarkably high average.
A most unusual condition is reveal
ed in the statement that the acre
value of the twelve leading crops Of
the state last year actually exceeded
the value Of the land upon which they
were grown. This means that one
crop from Il parcel Of land win pay
for the purchase Of the tract, con.
dition which prevails nowhere else,
not only in America, but in the entire
world. Any land is always worth
a greater cash value than the return
from one years production. A gen.
eral increase in land values will no
doubt result Of prevailing conditions.
An important factor in the great
agricultural wealth of the state last
year actually exceeded the value of
the not dependent principally upon
one crop as are Kansas, Iowa and
other farming states, the advantage
Of many crops is in the security
against tight conditions should the
crop fail. In Oklahoma, if one crop
fails, there are many others to re
'ieye the stress until the following
season. In many states, the failure
Of the corn or wheat crops alone.
means Utmost financial disruption for
n year.
Many farming communities OF the
country would consider themselves
well off with the wealth Of Oklahoma
which has already been named. Yet,
last year, Oklahoma growers and
stockmen received an additional in.
cone from the rentals of their lands
under the oil leases. The total in.
come Of the state from this source
was S52,OOO,OOO Of which the farm
owners received a large percentage.
A most encouraging feature of the
report is the fact that all Of the fig.
ures shown are rapidly growing. The
| crop value. for instance for the last

JEWISH NATIONAL HOME

When General Allenby captured
Palestine from the Turks and England
VAS unsefish enough to announce

While the Jews of history divided
themselves into tribes and fought

WANT WOMEN CONFESSORS
English Girls Make Plea for a
Change in High Churches.
!, Associated Press 10 EVERY Evening

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
London. April 6.-W neither the church
should provide women confessors Is a
question with which the Lambeth confer
ence of the clergy OF Great Britain, to be
held in July, is threatened.
At a meeting of the National Union for
EQUAL Citizenship. Miss Edith Picton-
Turbervile said that letters had been
received from girls IN various parts of the
country pleading for women confessors IN
High Anglican churches.
The Rev. Henry Ross, vicar of st.
Adams a large parish in Holborn, London,
does not hold out much hope for the
suggestion, for in arecent interview the
said women would not confess to women,
who are pitiless to their own sex.
Il have had considerable experience of
public life outside the church" he said,
''and while We welcome womens help,
/ have had evidence of this trait in their
character.
"The church is quite clear on this sub
ject he added, for we come at once up
against the question of the priesthood.
No woman can be admitted TO the priest
hood Therefore, we can have neither
women preachers nor women confessors.
If there were no other, there Is the psy-
Geological objection that one woman would
not trust another women TO keep a secret,

Held Ia Court.

Vito Cappadonna was bound over
Under 81 900 band in Municipal court
this morning for trial on n charge of buying
stolen leather, He is accused OF inducing
Oliver Wilcox, colorcd, to break into the
factory of J. Il. Rhoads 4 Son and steal
fourteen pieces Of leather, for which,
Wilcox says, Cappadonna paid S27.
James Davis OF the Rhoads company, who
caught Wilcox on one of his trips TO the
factory, estimated that the leather WAS
worth over 500.
Cappadonna's claim was that he had
refused 10 buy the leather, and had
driven the Negro from his shop. His
pretty step-daughter swas 40 interested
in the case that she began TO testify before
she got on the stand. When Wilco
denied that Cappadonna bad driven him
out, she cried from the back Of the court
