JOKES AND REALITIES

"a joke in one of the daily papers
the other day, went something like
this; John need some new cloth
eS!" well, Mary, prices are awful
high, hadn't you better go in for
literature, and pretend you are
superior to stylcs?"
1t isn't such bad joke and like
many another Jest it contains its
word CT truth. Prices are high, and it
isn't at all a bad idea to take to lite
rature and cultivate little superior
ity to the caprices of fashion Not
that we would be advocating saving
money at the expense of mothers
appearance. There is t3o much of
that done all of the time But the
world has gone to indulge in the
more expensive pleasures and forget
the simpler things which an older
generation found delightful even il
inexpensive.

PROFIT REFLECTIONS

Excess profits. too, arc offensive,
but they gave the country coal which
could have been secured IN no other
way" says an editorial in the New
York Times, referring TO the fuel
crisis during the war.
When one reads this in connection
with the present sugar famine, and
realizes how quickly the famine be
came a moderate sufficiency as soon
as the price was put up few cents,
cne is moved to reflect little on the
subject of patriotism
If the Times statement conveys any
at all, is it not simply that
the coal operators were plainly pro
fiteering during the war? That but
for the excess profits permitted, the
would not have done their
duty?
Apparently there Is more wrong III
the coal fields of America than a
miners strike, and more behind the
alleged shortage than a deficient crop
in Cuba.

Road to Easy Street

Pastors today should place in the

was the advice given by Bishop

head of the Methodist church

Home life Is breaking down

FOURTEEN YEARS or SCANDAL.

For fourteen years Oklahoma has suffered
scandal because ot the improper use OF the
pardoning power. The political machine. lean
ing more and more on the industrious gratitude
OF the criminal element has come TO recognize
the pardoning power ss tho most valuable
authority the administration possesses Thus the
'pardoning orgy" Of a few days ago was logical
In all respects. And it Ia not the eliminating
infamy by any means, unless there is a radical
change
Government was never set up for the ease,
convenience and protection Of those who make
their living In violating tho rules OF society.
That is quite evidently the doctrine of the
politicians OF Oklahoma's major party, but II
is wrong-offensiveiy and impossibly wrong
Government was set up and is maintained
for the protection Of those who abide by the
law, for the adequate punishment OF those
Who defy It. And when the sworn agents Of
tho people deibo ratoly cater to the latter class
they commit treason against the state and those
Who make up the other class.
No obligation rests on the executive 40 do
justice TO the convicted criminal The courts
have attended to that already. The pardoning
power was created and lodged in the head Of
the state for the purpose OF preventing oppres .
decision. But the thought was simply to create
where injustice had been done; or TO encourage
a safety valve In the interest OF that rare case
reformation by rewardins It in that equally
rare case where such executive clemency had
been unquestonably earned
The rarity with which this power was ex-
orcscd In the early days OF our government
proves the point.
II must be evident to all citizens OF this
state that the pardoning power cannot with
safety be lodged in any individual We hear 1t
openly charged that tho scandalous use OF this
power since the present administration came
into existence is for the purpose of enabling
the underwriters of a certain campaign fund to
recoup themselves. And. az impossible as that
must seem. the mere fact that It is always men
who are able to pay that are beneficiaries of
the pardoning power forces one to suspect tho
truth of IT,
Let us at the first opportunity take this power
from the hands of the governor and distribute
1t among the members of the pardoning board.
requiring minority party membership thereon
and unanimous consent before any pardon
can issue. Tho governor may be president Of
such board with a proportionate vote, but no
more.
II is recalled that Governor Robertson has
made several speeches complaining that the ex.
eoutve is not entrusted with sufficient authority;
that he cannot order things done; that even tho
auditor OF the state refuse to pay bills the
governor orders paid.
Let us thank God here and now for that
condition! The trainers of the constitution
buiided wiser than they knew. Not more au'
thority for the executive but less authority-a'
least until such time 1t has been amply
proven that the executive is safe to entrus'
witt enlarged power,

PREACHING AT THE WHITE HOUSE

PNINtGtNG Al THE WHITE HONSf
white Christian nation is AT worship this
morning following the Nazarene's Injunction 10
remember the sabbath day and keep It holy.
the president of this republic and the demo-
cratic candidate for that high position are in
a political conference in the white house.
There may he no impropriety In this partisan
conference the sabbath day We do not
know how the public feels about a matter OF
this sort Possibly It is because 1t is without a
precedent In our history that It Jars
sibiities. We do know that our former presi-
dents have paid their devotions to, the supreme
Being on the sabbath and we have always
prlded ourselves that our chief executives have
regularly solicited the divine guidance and
blessing in their official tasks
The incident becomes all the moro irritating
when taken in connection with some others.
For instance: The president OF this Christian
nation worked months TO formulate an instru-
ment for the guidance and government OF the
civilized world II purposed TO do by law
and force what Christ said could come only
through love and reformation
Nearly two hundred thousand words were
used in the preparation of this world law, and
not once was thore reference to the deity In
q, not once during its preparation did those
who engaged themselves in it's preparation ask
the divine blessing'
The president Of this Christian nation di-
reoted the writing of a great party code just
the other day, No one disputes that fact
Something like ten thousand words were
ployed IN it's preparation. And not once from
beginning TO end, n there reference to deity,
Neither recognition OF God in the past history
of the republic, nor hope Of his continued
beneficenee ir its future, is continued in that
wonderful document
Is it strange, therefore. that the president
OF this Christian nation should be using the
Lords day for partisan medicine making? We
think not And we think he is misrepresenting
the noblest and best OF America IN this Just as
he misrepresented It at Versailles Is It the
privilege of autoeraey TO ignore even the God
