WlLFUL WRONG PALSIES
PROGRESS

Students of the world are wondering
today if the republican party has not
outlivcd its usefulness and has not
entered into a state Of decay.
with all the pawer the party has
in having more votes than any other
party it could if it chose, be honest
with the people and come out straight
forwardly and show its hand.
But it has chosen to write what
might be considered a progressive
platform and then it went TO the "old
guard" for its nominees to execute
that platform,
There are now rumbings of dis
content in the party, The great
west is dissatisfied and it was the
west which gave the democrats the
election four years ago and it is the
west this year that will hold the
balance of power.
The second great world crime has
been committed by the republican
party. For il was a crime against
the peace and unification of the worh
when it delayed the covenant of the
league of nations. There are no
reasons apparent for fighting this
covenant than there We're for fight
ing the adoption of the constitution
of the United States. The constitu'
tion unified the American colonies,
the covenant will unity the nations
of the world. The principle is ideni.
cal
The Old party is today ggerins
under this crime 1t has sacrificed an
opportunity TO perform Il wonderful
service to the world That sacrifice
was made, because the party did not
want to see any credit so to Wood
row Wilson and the political party
he represents and in denying to the
United States this opportunity n
crime against world civilization has
been committed and just as no man
can prosper in wilful wrong, Just
so no political party can prosper un-
der the same conditions.
There has been a remarkable change
in the feeling of the people since the
Chicago convention adjourned. Prior
to that time the democrats had been
mesmerlzed by the constant assertion
that this is republican year. But to-
day that mesmeric influence is dis
solved. There is hope and joy and
confidence in the heart of every demo-
crat and these virtues will transmit
to the campaign an enthusiasm that
will put the democratic party over
the top in the November elections.
The power of the motherhood and
of the young manhood Of the country
stand like a stone wall against the
further progress of the republican
party until such time as 1t forsakes
wilful wrong and comes out for the
principle of unification Of the world
and for world citizenship.

now saved because the distance can

a car. And this is just one instance

SEASON OF WHEAT HARVEST

In every section of Oklahoma the
season of harvesting was opened last
Monday morning and the weather has
been ideal for the annual event. one
in passing over the grain section by
railway or by auto was scarcely ever
out of sight of at least half a dozen
binders in the wheat and other small
grain fields Some of these binders
were drawn by horses, others by trac-
tor and in many instances one big
tractor could be seen pulling as
many as two binders.
Many of the school beys of the
state hardened by their sports and
made ready for sunshine and hard
work Of the harvest fields are help
ing to save the grain and to fill the
granaries of the country for another
year. From all points, locally, re-
ports state that the crops Of oats
and wheat are good. The acreage in
many instances is cut short for the
reason that continuous rains at sow
ing Tine prevented preparation of
the soil but the yield this year in
Oklahoma will be very heavy.
The country at this time has &
right to feel a greater interest in
crop reports than at any other time
within many years. There is "A labor

Fiy0RITE son IDEA FADING

The republican national convention
in Chicago set a pace that should
grow into a precedent in the United
states. The delegates TO this con-
yention refused to listen TO the
speeches designed only for the pur-
pose Of advertising men as favorite
sons Of their states with no hope
whatever OF being nominated for
office.

the time Of a great convention when
that time is used only for advertising

Editorial
of the Day
I'VE CONDEMN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY"

(Tams Bixby, in Muskogee Phoenix)
Party politics is made of two in
gradients, the efficiency of your own
party and the inefficiency of the op.
position. 1t was therefore but natural
that the republican platform-although
it was a trifle overdone-should have
condemned the democratic administra.
ton. That was to have been expected
had Mr.. Wilson's government been
above suspicion and reproach.
1t is political thunder and we are
to hear its rumble and roar until that
November day has come and gone.
The republican platform wasn't much
as clean cut declaration Of prin-
ciples.
We now, before the month has
passed, are to see another party plat
form drafted The critics are to have
their opportunity. The republican party
the democrats have said straddled the
league of nations issue The republi.
cans, to avoid function in the party
ranks, saw fit to talk in grandelo-
quent terms of "a league of nations.
But the democratic party must speak
of the" league of nations because the
democratic party is its parent.
The big men who meet at Frisco
would do well to do what those at
Chicago did not do-to meet the
issue fairly, to support the president,
to commend the treaty which he
drafted as it was his duty to do. Blu,
they will not. Mr.. Wilson's league
Of nations will receive half hearted
feeble pat upon the back in the same
paragraph in which it receives a slap
in the face
Mr.. Gompers is to ask the demo.
cratic party to sanction strikes against
the government and the democrats
will probably not be half SO bold as
were the republicans. Mr.. Gompers
is also 10 ask that the importation
of common laborers be stopped, and
the democratic party, realizing that
without men to shovel gravel, brick
layers may not lay brick, is going TO
straddle that with general plank
looking towards the safeguarding or
our immigration.
Mr.. Bryan is to ask them that they
declare for prohibition-which the dem.
ocratic party may safely do. Prohibit
tion has already been decided and It
requires no great courage to speak
for enforcement of laws already passed.
The democratic party will condemn
| the republican party because It has
blocked the completion of the suff-
rage act neglecting to mention that
it was a republican congress which
made the law possible.
The democratic party will have lot
to say about profiteering- will
embody laws already written and
enacted.
In other words we are TO have an.
other platform builded of laths instead
of sturdy timbers.
And we probably are to have plank
upon the important issue OF the
league of nations which in softer
language will read as did the repun
lican platform:
1--WE condemn the Democrat,
| party"

CROP PROSPECTS

With the high cost of foodstuffs
prevailing throughout the world, great
| interest is manifested by people every
where in the prospects for the sea
sons harvests. Generally speaking,
there is much reason for encourage
ment in present crop conditions. The
outlook is decidedly better than some
weeks ago. 1t is too early to make
any positive prediction, but, should
growing conditions continue to be as
favorable as they are today. there
will evidently be ample foodstuffs to
feed the entire world. II would, how
ever, be great help in bringing
down the cost of everything if every
effort were made to assist the farmer
in planting, cultivating, and harvest
ing his crops. Also il would be wise
for every one, who has the ground,
TO cultivate garden of his own.
The report just issued by the depart
ment of agriculture on the condi-
tion OF wheat, oats, and rye in the
United States as of June l, may be
taken as a highly encouraging one,
particularly in view Of the previous
forecast, which was gloomy eAough.
The Indicated yield of spring wheat
was 6S,000,000 bushels greater than
that of last year, and 10000 great
er than the five-year average. Winter
wheat improved during May 19,0O0,-
600 bushels, and the total wheat crop
will be ample, according to indica.
tons, especially when the world out
put is considered. The prospective
production of oats is larger than
that Of last year, and that of rye is
smaller. The hay crop. one of the
most important of all crops. appears
promising, and a big harvest is anti,
cipated. 1t is too early to make any
forecast Of value concerning corn, but
the sell is in good condition, the corn
that is up looks well, and a large
acreage has been planted.
One OF the most hopeful signs Of
the times is the fact that the coun-
tries most seriously affected by the
war are putting forth every effort
to raise good crops In France the
weather has been particularly favor
able. Various organizations have help
ed the farmer to acquire machinery,
and have otherwise encouraged him
to produce TO the utmost. The yield
of wheat, which during the war
period was cut in half, will be back
almost to normal in the coming harv-
est, according to the official report
Of the French department Of agricul.
ture. This means that a comparative.
ly small quantity Of this grain will
have to be imported, whereas during
the war France imported about one.
half of her requirements.
In some Of the other countries Won
derful progress has been made in
crop development. According to a re.
port from the International Institute
OF Agriculture. in Rome, Italy, the
production of wheat in British India
will be $4,000, 600 bushels. or 1901
per cent OF the 1919 production, and
1884 per cent of a five year average.
The estimated production of corn in
Argentina was placed at 1854 Of the
1919 output. The condition of cereals
on May /. according 10 this report.
was average in Great Britain, Ire.
