grow rich from growing cotton and

Tho southern cotton farmer, who
has clothed the world, has gone half
naked himself and ii is time for the

money in his bank account TO give
his children a college education.

price that would allow the farmer as

Unthinking tourists who deface tho

Editorial
of the Day
STILL PEDDILNG 1T
From The Oklahoman

VI L
On Tuesday. one day after the fake
editorial apology was published in The
Daily Oklahoman, the Lawton News.
one Of Senator Cores bought organs,
published thousands of extra copies
containing the false statement and
scattered them broadcast.
After Oliver Patten had admitted
having sneaked the article into The
Daily Oklahoman by betraylng his
former employees, Harlow's Weekly
supposedly neutral, but craftily shad
ing all news for Gore, published
thousands of extra copies of story
OF the episode in which the facts were
garbled. which confused the reader
and which stated that further expla-
nations were due. from The Daily
Oklahoman.
Last week there appeared all over
the state a pamphlet entitled wherein
Scott Ferris and the Daily Oklahoman
Differ" which was n reprint of the
infamous "Amende Honorable" canard.
extended TO make the attitude or
Ferris look foolish. The pamphlet re-.
ferred to is Gore campaign literature
The Gore forces are still deliberately
attempting to make capital out Of the
treacherous error of weak-wilcd
newspaper man who sold what he
knew about the inside of n news
paper office for n mess OF pottage.
The facts about the Gore roorbacS
are known from one end Of the stare
TO the other. Patten. who admitted
in police court that he was responsible
for the publication of tho article
also stated that he went into the en-.
ploy of the Gore organization when
he was discharged from The Daily Ok
lahoman. He stated that he was stih
employed in the Gore organization
when he was on trial for drunken,
ness. He was defended by Eph Taylor,
law partner of Jean Day, oil man
who is one of Cores managers.
Patterns own statements concluslvely
fastened the crooked frameup on Gore
headquarters. The fact that two weeks
after the disclosure of the truths in
the case. the Gore managers are still
trying to cash in on the coup which
proved boomerang is further PROOF
that they still believe that they can
make Tie fake editorial winner, pro
viding the folks at the grass roots
have not heard the facts.

CONDITIONS ARE TO BLAME

The local ministers in their meet.
ings which are being held for the
purpose Of focusing thought upon
local conditions said recently that
there had been many automobile
thefts in this city and that in many
cases the perpetrators had gotten
away with the stolen cars.
1t is interesting in this connection
to note that nearly all the cars that
have been stolen in this city have
been stolen by boys who live here
and whose parents live here.
There was one exception thar we
call to- mind. Tho Gilbert Presnell
car was taken by four professionals
who make it their business to locate
small safes IN business houses and
to steal these safes and take them
TO the country 10 apply the nitro
Siyce1no But with this exception
and possibly one or two more, the
cars that have been tallen ihnvos been
appropriated by local boys.
There are a number of causes which
have contributed 10 these crimes and
some Of the causes can be removed
by the parents being atrioter with
their boys, These lads have been
graduated from tho Sunday Schools
too early; they have not heen brought
up under the influence Of the church
and have heel- allowed seek an en-
vironment that has led to these
crimes, Boys that are made To- stay
in school, that are required to attend
Sunday School, that are placed in the
bey scout organization are not the
boys who comnit these crimes and
parents are tosblame and not.th Off
GERS of the county.
There is another general causeSthat
thinking men and women will take
into consideration Following the
world war there was an epidemic vi

thing may be said of EngiaRa,s Fsa1,ea

eiple blame the asficeFa for the wave

where they were taught to kill. They
were placed in line Of battle where
they were forced to kill and that in
flucnce is felt today and will be felt
for many years TO come The same
influences followed the civil war in
this country and it required patience
and time and education along a diff
ferent line to remove it.
While the young were being taught
10 kill there was another element Of
people that had different environ
ment altogether. This element was
made up Of parents who We're in
tears at the going away of their
boys it was made up Of the minis
ters whose business it was to con-
sole those who lost loved ones. it was
made up Of Red Cross workers and
other war workers whose hearts melt
ed as they told their stories that
brought forth the money to support
the institutions that kept the war
going. This second element of people
naturally became more religious and
these people are impatient at the re-
suits Of war. Just as man cannot
with his hand stop a cyclone as it
sweeps across IA western prairie SO no
officers can stop the wave of crime
that follows a siege of war. Ii is the

every paper in the state of Oklahoma,
setting forth the facts in the case.
To the everlasting credit of every
fair-minded editor in Oklahoma these
kilograms We're published in every
fair newspaper to which they We're
sent, thereby telling the readers Of
Oklahoma that the Oklahoman had
nothing to take back, had no "amende
honorable" 10 make to Mr.. Gore.
But, conducting an unfair and dis
honest campaign, with their principal
as devoid of political honor as he was
of love for the Stars and Stripes
when he sought to protect the slack
err" while the volunteer" shed his
blood for the safety Of the Institutions
of civilization, the satillites OF Tom
Gore seized upon this morsel of car
rion, planted by the hand of infamy,
and sobbed it down TO afterward spew
it forth, frothing with venom, TO the
voters OF oklahoma as the truth the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth Not one redeeming word of
explanation, not one scintilla of fair
ness in telling the thousands of peo-
pie to whom this falsehood was mailed,
that Managing Editor Harrison, Of
the oklahoman denounced the "amende
honorable" as coming, not from the
editorial department of the Oklaho-
man, but from the traitor whom he
had discharged for his unworthiness.
Coming from the henchmen of Tom
Gore, the fair>minded voters Of Okla
homa are not surprised at this. But,
when the paragon of political virtue.
ne sanity. the moral, the upright,
honorable Campbell Russell seizes
Ipun 1t and gives the "amende hon
oIahe' a place in the columns of his
Cat we cannot think otherwise than
that during these years he has pranced
back and forth across the hills and
dells and the plains and prairies
of Oklahoma, warning the people to
beware of the corruptionist in poll
tics. he has been leading a man-hunt
which might have been directed
against the wolf, while in reality he
has been going about the land, a wolf
in sleeps clothing.
Looked at dispassionately. with all
scales Of possible prejudice removed
from the eyes, it has never required
a microscope to read the words writ
ten, in sympathetic ink, between the
lines in all of Cam Russol's vitupera-
tive attacks upon different members
OF different Oklahoma official faml
les. 1t has required no microscope TO
read between the lines the words
wherein he ever proclaimed, as did
the Pharisee of old, Il am holier than
thou"
But it has possibly taken this last
example of his vindictveness against
those who could not swallow his
portions of self-praise and selfright-
eousness without big pinch of salt
and number if mental reservations
TO show the people of Oklahoma the
real Campbell Russell, the Campbell

it has made.
The mills are now running on full
time, but by agreement one-third of
the output is going into storage in
order TO make 1t difficult for the
merchant TO get the goods he wants
for his trade. AS long as there is
n scarcity there is chance for high
prices, and the mills are creating
this scarcity by storing one-third OF
all the cotton goods manufactured.

made enormous profits, they operate
chiefly with water power, their sue
