SPECULATION AND pROpUCrloN

economic laws.

view Editor w. l. Drummond says:

real capital of his own before embarking on

eclipse. You can no longer hear his voice.

who want all the money In the banks and
everywhere else, for speculative PURPOSES
The cart Is trying to switch places with the

up some money before there is any to bor-

saving, not on borrowing.
That is completely contrary To the prac-

plain statement OF primary economies.
1t is not only necessary for somebody to
save up money before there Is any to borrow"

obol,sbing all subsidiary organizations ana CEN
terlng their party authority with ono cehtrn'
committee The appointment OF lobby To
influence members OF the legislature to heou
the popular will was very unusual
C,f course the democracy OF the state Is look
ing TO i022. and properly. II has been chasteneh
by the events Of the last few months yet no
where ia there the slightest wish that tho demo-
cratic party of the state shall break up into
discordant. undisciplined mass OF political
Narauders. II is just az essential that the demo-
cratic party shall be reformed and stand as an
instant remedy for republican derilction as 1t
was that the republican party should occupy IA
similar position during the days OF democratic
ascendency.
We need two political organizations In OKLA
homa. and what the great mass of citizenship
wants above all else II two political organiza'
tons zealously committed by word and act to
the genuine interests OF the people who consti-
tutc the government
In "A very general sense both parties on the eve
~ the coming session OF the legislature, face the
mark on terms or precise equality. Each has
its record to make during the ensuing session.
Each will stand or fall two years hence by its
acts of omission and commission In the legis-
laturc In 1921.
The slate has been wiped partially at least.
II the democratic majority yields to the popular
influence sought to be welded by several trust
worthy men. stands like n stoncwall against the
Robertson clique OF appropriation despoiiers and
refuses to play narrow partisan politics, II can
tace the wire two years hence on terms OF equal
ity with any ticket the republicans can name.
II the Robertson plans carry, and II the narrow
partisans who brought the party into disrcpute
are followed. then the democratic party can
save itself expense by refraining from
naming ticket in 1922. Always provided
That the republicans In the legislature do
what they were unquestionably elected to do
protect the people against raid on the treas
ury write a square and fair election law and
refuse to yield to the capital clique In any way
stand for rigid economy and convince the pub
lie that they are in fact more concerned with
improving the public service than in carrying
forward petty partisan schemes.
In short the republican party has been ar
,oried an opportunity and the democratic party
still has one. May they both take fun advantage
of The situation that in future contests the pub
lie may win regardless Of the verdict.

Barometer of Public Opinion
ts To Lumber.

Editor world ON the subject of lumber the
WCycrhauser Forest Products company of st.
paul--one OF the largest wholesale dealers in
the United States said In a recent advertisement
in tho Western Architect:
You have heard men say that good lumber is
scarce. They say that lumber lis not what II
used to be and that we must soon come to
use substitute materials.
"Do you know how much good lumber there
is in this country today? with the possible
exception of the hardwood there is as much
good lumber available for construction purposes
there ever was at any time since America
became nation,
There is more standing timber today in the
United States than made into lumber
since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.

History lkcpcats.

Editor World:-Iistory does repeat itself. In
his speech to the British Parliament King
George is quoted az follows:
"Thc state OF affairs In Ireland grieves
profoundly. deplore the campaign of violence
and outrage whereby "A small group of my sub
jects seek to sever Ireland from the empire and
] sympathize with the loyal servants of the
crown who are cndeavoring to restore peace"
In Lord Brougham's biographical sketch OF
Lord North are some autograph notes OF King
George Ill which bear some resemblance to the
above, the difference being that the estimable
monarch was speaking Of the American revolu-
tionists
'"rhe times certainly require" piousy re
marked old George 'the concurrence OF all who
wish to prevent anarchy. l have no wish but
the posterity of my own domnons therefore
must look upon all who do not heartily assist
me as bad men, as we'll AZ bad subjects"
This Is the way kings reason: II wish Moth

agree with me is traitor and scoundrel."
