Mr. Howard says he will enforce tho law. Not
only that but when the law has been enforced
he win see to 1t that the penitentiary doors
are not swung open to tree the criminal element

1t would be hazardous to say that In singing
this one subject out for especial stress MIR
Howard was looking at the weakest spot in de-
mocracy's fence, accepting the regime of Gov
Jim B A. M democracy. Yet such Is indeed the
effect of his declaration. In no respect has the
state OF oklahoma suffered more than from the
impossible attitude Of the chief magistrate
towards the criminal clement.

courage TO put his finger directly on the sore
elected governor, Inevitably other candidates

our first thought was 10 ask II
she didn't wish they had kept 1t, and
her answer was:
Move used the money to cdu-
cate all our children that was
when we needed 1t, their education
couldn't be put off"
There are people In the world who
look upon America as a land of lost
opportunity. The west is especially
addicted to repining, even New York
had its hard losers who regretted
they had not bought Manhattan
when It could be had for Il string
OF beads or pair of boots.
In the past, perhaps, more than
today, II was the popular pastime
i'm Tulsa and oklahoma City for
men to stand on street corners and
point out business property worth
$4,000 today that they had sold
some years back for $500 or $4,000,
or additions that they disposed of
at n price less than what any one
of the hundred homes built there
would bring now. And how they
mourned their loss and built castles
H. the air OF what might have been.
Such remorse does not show the
admirable insight that this woman s
beautiful character showed. She
recognized that they secured in lieu
of the property that had grown to
fortune. what at that time was of
equal If not OF far more value to
! them. Their children needed the
equivalent in education, and the for
tune Il had come to mean today
could not he weighed against 1t.
