CONSTITUTION OF UNITED
STATES AND THE MONROE.
DOCTRINE QUO TED BY.
TALEN TED YOUN c ORATOR.


Convention Hall was well filled Fri
day night to hear Mark Grimes, the
talented young Oklahoma orator de-
liver an address in opposition to the
covenant of the league of nations,
and where the arguments he used
against the adoption of that pact
were the same that have been ad-
vanced by all opponents of the
league. and we'll known to every
one who has heard or read them, he
embellished them with many oratori-
cal flowers that sounded we'll to his
hearers if they did not convince them
of the soundness Of his doctrine.
The speaker was introduced by
Lloyd Noble in few well chosen re-
marks in which the speaker took oc-
casion to dissect the league and as
sure the hearers that they would be
accorded treat when the speaker
of the evening took the platform
Mr.. Noble was fellow student Of
Mr.. Grimes at the state university,
and paid very pretty compliment
to his powers of oratory and argu-
ment.
Grimes eulogized Mr.. Noble and stat
ed that should the political complex
ion Of the third congressional district
undergo change it would be well
for the citizens to consider him very
seriously for their congressman.
Mr.. Grimes in advancing his argu-
ment recounted events that led up
To the world war, and the part that
America played after entering it, he
referred To the Constitution of the
United States, to those who were re-
sponsible for its being, and referred
to the farewell address of General
Washington when he warned the
country against foreign entangle-
ments.
The speaker emphasized the Monroe
Doctrine that had always been enough
TO keep America out Of foregn wars,
and warned his hearers against any
doctrine that would compel Ameri-
cans TO fight in wars in which this
country had no interest.
Mr.. Grimes discussed different arti-
cles of the covenant, and gave his
reason for opposing them, and con-
cluded his speech by reciting the
fruits gained by other nations, and
what the United States got out Of
the war, citing the fact that America
did not get or ask for a foot of
territory or dollar indemnity but
asserted that the United States un-
der the league would be morally and
legally obligated to preserve the in
tegrity of every nation on earth.
During the course of his speech
many left the hall which caused more
or less confusion, and at times made
it hard for the speakers remarks
to be heard in remote portions of the
auditorium.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Crimes
address, Mr.. Noble announced that
inasmuch as some had asked for a
division of time between the speaker
and another who was in favor of the
league. and who like Mr.. Grimes
was "a soldier in France, that here
after any one desiring to debate with
the men who would campaign in Car
ter county in opposition to the league
would be accommodated

by the late j. Harvey Dobbs, and
has been in the family since that
time, becoming the property of his
daughter. Mrs. w. f. Lindsey of
this city.
For several years. Flora has been
a pensioner and door yard pet at the
Lindsey home, and she was not only
able to eat her own allotment of
rations, but that of the chickens and
other animals on the place if not
watched.
During the recent county fair she
was exhibited in the stock pavilion
and attracted large crowds daily who
had a curiosity to see a horse who
had lived so long.
Floras remains will not be con-
signed to the elements in the ordi-
nary way. but will he buried with
all the honor due one of her age
and lineage. Her death is keenly
felt by every member of the Lindsey
family who will sorely miss their
aged pet.
