Tom Wade, Democratic nation
al committeeman for Oklahoma
during the last four years, did
the gracious thing when he nomi-
mated his opponent, Mr. Bowman,
as his successor. His macuan. =
nous action was in marked con
trast with the actics pursued by
the contestants for the same par
ty honor in the G. 0. j. For a
long time we have had an idoa
that Tom is a "regular fellow"
and we are now more than ever
convinced of it.

Another one of the hopeful
symptoms. in Chickasha is the
new spirit of cooperation which
mas come about between the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Retailers association. The two
organizations overlap at many
points and they have common in
terests in promoting the progress
of Chickasha. BY doing team
work they can undoubtedly ac-
complish more than they could
by going it single-handed.

FORWARD.

The old adage was I'm time of
peace prepare for war.
There was a time when the advice
was to be taken literally. War was
the chief occupation of mankind.
Peace was necessary. occasionally. but
incidental. Certain constructive work
had to be performed. But the ruler
who vas awake to his opportunities
would use the period Of peace, not
merely in strengthening his country
against attack, but in preparing for
the aggressive action by which, a
little later. his people would be able
to seize the POSSESSIONS Of others, and
thus enrich themselves.
The world has not been so frankly
warlike Of late. There have been am
bilious men who have sought to pro-
mote war for their own ends, but it
has been necessary to do this with
some measure Of conceAlment.~ But
prudent men have realized that the
proverb has a legitimate application,
so long as war remains among the
possibilities. It is the part Of prud-
ence to make tse of the opportunities
afforded during peace to fortify and
strengthen, 70 that the nation. by be-
ing better able to resist attack, may
be less likely to experience it.
The prudent citizen, in slack bust
ness-tiuiess will avail himself OF the
opportunity which he has to lay the
foundations for bigger and better
business when conditions again ap-
proach the normal. On the we'll
managed farm the rainy day is not
spent in loafing. It is used in get
ting ready for fine weather. Then,
when the skies clear and the fields
dry of, the tools are in condition, the
stock in shape, and all the equipment
ready with which. to go to work.
VThe time Of business depression
will. be used by the wise citizen in
making preparation for the period of
activity which is certain to follow.
Instead Of standing still he will 60
forward, and he will be well on his
way while many others are getting
ready to start. The Manufacturers
Record expresses the spirit Of the oc-
casion concisely in these lines:
Let us build a mighty network of
highways. so badly needed; let +: us
modernize and extend our rail aud
water transportation facilities, build
the million or more dwellings 30 bad
ly needed, build the schools, hotels
and churches required to keep up
With our growing population.
There is enough work which
needs to be done, and the doing OF
which would enrich our country, to
keep fully employed every ,aborer in
the country.
Down, then, with pesaimism and
inactivity, and up with optimism and
progress! Forward"
