Every day the residence situa-
tiOn grows worse in COrdell. The
only suggestion Of improvement
is in the fact that additions are
being made to quite number Of
homes. Those who have been
"up against" tho renting problem
have been forced in very large
number of cases to buy and own
their own homes the logical and
almost only present solution of
finding a home. Cordell Beacon.
According to the most reliable
statistics available there is at present
a need for 100000 homes. In
other words there are about 25 ,OOO, 900
persons in the United States who are
without adequate housing accomo-
dations. That this should be so in
these times of plentitude and pros
perity is a peculiar fact, but fact

nevertheless. 1t is also probably a
fact that if the money invested IN
Measure autos and other luxuries were
only in part invested in dwelling
houses the shortage would disappear.
Home owning is of course the best
solution of the problem but unfotu-
na,ely the owners of the luxuries are
also owners of homes as general
rule, the homeless ones are general
~ "autoless and also practically
n,oncyless. even in these prosperous
times. In the last four years men
have been stepping into the million
aire class at the rate of 1l2 per month.
These men have the money to invest
and the reason that it is not invested
in residence property is because there
are plenty of chances for investment
which promise higher rate Of prof
it than the erection of residences with
the cost of building material and la
bor at their present attitudes.

The Red Menace is threaten
ing the world. The capture of
Warsaw looks bad for civiliza-
ton. Unrest and unsettled con
ditions are due to failure e!
ratification of the League of Nn
tions and other Legislation W.
should have had enacted by thu
last Congress which has failed
to give the people relief.--Shat-
tuck Monitor.
The Monitor man should not worry
so much about the fate of civilila-
ton. He had his wires crossed about
the fate of Warsaw and even had that
city been captured civilization would
probably have survived. Warsaw
has been taken quite number Of
times since history began to be writ
ten without any appreciablc effect
on the civilization of the rest of the
world. 1t may be that if this coun-
try had ratified the League of Ma
tions' Covenant mundane affairs
would have been in better shape, or it
might have been that we would now
have big army over there hammer
ing the fear Of God into the Rus
slams; men who know blamed sight
more about it than the writer and
perhaps as much as the editor of the
Monitor, take both views of the ques-
tion. In the meantime Oklahoma is
harvesting a bumper crop and pos
sums and sweet potatoes will soon be
ripe-so why worry?

Governor Robertson wants a
couple of sheriffs Of Oklahoma
ousted for allowing their jails to
be entered by mobs and dragging
prisoners out and hanging them
to trees. We do not believe in
mob law but the governor by par
doning a bunch of criminals is
more guilty than the said sheriffs
and when he pardons a favorite
bank robber or murderer no one
threatens to "oust" the governor.

guilty, but it does not matter wheth-
er ne was guilty or not, he was held
by the military authorities and ap-
piled to a judge outside the zone OF
military occupation for writ of
habeas corpus and the writ was denied.
The Judge in denying the writ said,
if the papers have correctly reported
him. that it was within the power
of the governor of state to declare
martial law whenever in his opinion
the civil authorities were not properly
enforcing the law and that it was not
within the power of any court to in
tcrferc. If that be- true, then he. the
Governor is the law, for by his COM
mand the civil authorities, set up by
the people, can be rendered impOtent
and as commander-in-ch chief of the
militia he can promulgate such de-
crees as he desires and order their
enforcement and the courts of the
people are powerless to intervene.
It is not the purpose Of the writer
to discuss the merits or demerits of
the military occupation of Galveston,
but to call attention to the principal
involved and the supineness with
which it's PRONUNCIATION is acceeded to,
as illustrating the manner in which
the people are letting their pow
er slip away from them.
Blackstone defined law as "A rule
of action prescribed by the supreme
power of state, commanding that
which is right and forbidding that
which is wrong" theoretically the
people are the supreme power in this
nation, but they are ceasing to exert
their power, and as muscle loses its
strength If it is not used, SO will the
power Of the people pass from them
If they fail to exercise It.

attention, and while there may be a
remote psychological connection be-
tween the pardons given by any par
doning power and the fdea that the
law is impotent, its bearing on the
recent lynchings was SO slight as to
be negligible. The real cause Of
lynchings is blood lust and the in
nate cussedness of human nature.

There seems to be crime wave
sweeping over Oklahoma at the pres
ent time which includes all crimes
from chicken stealing to murder. 1t
is a we'll known fact that crime comes
in waves for which no reason can be
assigned. although in some cases an
increase in crime can be traced to
easily recognized causes. As a general
thing crimes Of passion from street
brawls to murder occur with more
frequency in hot weather than in cold,
while crimes against property are of
more frequent occurrence in cold
weather than in hot or temperate
months. The cause depends directly
on the weather--In hot weather men
and women are more irritable, ncr-
vous and impatient and go to ex-
tremes over matters which under nor
NAL conditions would disturb them
but little if any. In cold weather
want is more pinching, and when all
is said and done poverty is the cause
of great deal Of pretty crime and
often Is contributing cause to
crimes Of the first magnitude.

Two lynchings in Oklahoma Satuk
day night, and one in Mississippi
mark the progress of civilization in
the United States. 1t is possible, in
fact probable, that the lynchees de-
served what they got, but that does
no remove the stain from the commu-
mites wherein the lynching occurred.
1t is not the effect on the men lynch
ed, but on those who took part in the
affairs that should arouse the concern
of all law-abiding citizens. If the
people enmass do not respect the law
it can scarcely be expected that the
individuals of which the mass is COM
posed will respect it. Lynching
seems to be the great American pas
time. 1t is brutal and degrading to
every man who takes part in it. 1t
is to be expected, perhaps; in Mexico,
in England or France or Italy it never
OCCURS; it is blot on the fair name
of our nation, flaw in our civiliza-
tiOn, a repr0ach to our courts of
justice, a mockery of our laws and
a crime in the sight of High Heaven.

The most of US have heard the story
of the old lady, who, in reply to an
inquiry from her pastor as to what
she thought of the doctrine Of total
depravity announced that she thought
that it was a mighty good doctrine
If it was lived up to. It was lived
up to all right in Seminole County by
three young men Of Konawa, who are
in Jail for assaulting a young lady
whom one Of the three was escorting
home from church Sunday night, &C.
cording to the Wewoka Capital Demo-
crat. Frankly the writer doubts the
truth of the story as told in the
Capital Democrat and believes that a
mistake has been made somewhere,
for it is almost beyond belief that
there is anywhere in the civilized
state of Oklahoma young man so
utterly depraved that he would join
with two others in an assault on a
young woman under his protection. If
death at the stake is the fitting por-
tion for the black brute who is guilty
of such a crime who Is there who
can devise fitting punishment for a
white man who with all the advan-
tages Of birth and breeding and the
superior intelligence of his race be-
smirches his soul (if he has a souD
with such crime. 1t seems to the
writer that the ingenuity Of Satan
will be taxed to the utmost to find
among all the t0rtures of Hades a
