HEAR JUDGE ISSUE
FATEFUL ORDERS

Monday afternoon in district court
Judge Thomas w. Champion promul-
gated an order to the sheriff that
caused the eyes of those in the great
audience to fill with briny tears and
many a sigh from the depth of the
heart was audible as the fateful
words were pronounced that put out
of existence forever a large quantity
o. Jazz" water that has been Sc
curely locked in the vault of the
sheriff's office for some time.
The sheriff and his minions have
been capturing" all manner of Joy
juice and narcotic powders and pills
for quite a while, and as the stuff
has accumulated to such an extent
that it was becoming nuisance the
court decided that the sewer was the
proper place for the whole bunch and
so ordered the sheriff to commit it
to the same.
The collection enumerated by the
court in his order to the sheriff con-
sisted of fifteen barrels of Jake"
in gallon bottles; several cases OF
wine of pepsin, said to contain enough
kick to make Illuminating cap appear
as gentle fire cracker; thirty gallons
Of another brand of cake" shipped
in the wood, Gin order to age proper
ly); five cases containing small
bottles of more Jake" put up in
convenient sizes to slip from the hip
TO the consumer; some rude looking
alcohol with a wooden cast or coun-
tenance. also in glass containers, and
a quantity of hop of various brands
and aliases that cause the sleigh bells
to Jingle for some even in the balmy
month of June.
All this the sheriff was abjured in
solemn tones tlnd with more solemn
mein by the court TO commit 10 the
open sewer in the presence of wit
nesses, and forever oblterate from
the landscape of our fair city. Accord
ing TO instructions of the court the
sheriff will follow instructions TO the
letter and there will be a lot of dead
fish, frogs and faunae along the creek
that leads from the outlet of the sewer
southeast of the city.
The sheriff was called from the city
early this morning, but as soon as
he returns the last sad rites over
the stuff will be fulfilled according TO
the order Of the court and in accord
nnce of the statutes of the state Of
Oklahoma made and provided.

OPTIMISM REIGNS
(From Pawhuska CapitoD

In the face of continued slumps in
prices as industries and trade defla-
ton progresses it is noticeable that
there is an encouraging note of op-
timism by leading manufacturers and
business men. The period the coun-
try is now passing through was dis
counted in advance by men familiar
with the operations or economies
Most merchants had stocked up
heavily with high-priced goods and
met unreasonable weather last fall
But business men now relllze that
they were guilty of an error of judg-
ment Ia proceeding on the assump-
ton that hgh-level prices would hold
up through the present winter Bit
terness against the federal reserve
board which followed its action in
Tightening up" on money has given
way to a realization that this WAS the
only effective way of stopping infla-
tion of prices nnd of reducing them
to the level on which a resumption
OF industrial and trade activities
could be based.
There is yet much to be done in
the work of readjustment, but a be-
ginning has been made and there is
reason to believe that recovery is now
getting under way. Predictions that
workers would refuse to accept new
conditions are now seen to have been
unfounded
Nothing is to be gained by enlarg-
ing on the condition Of unemploy-
ment, but all should join in the
spread of optimism, for a great deal,

IMPEACHMENT OF TRAPP

of the state.
coupled with these charges is car
ried the recommendation that i'm.
Tpeachment proceedings be filed-im.

to the executive head, the presiding
officer of the states highest leglsla-
live body, the man who would, in
event of the death of the governor,
or his removal from office for any
cause, become the governor of this
state.
II Lieutenant Governor Trapp has
been guilty Of any of the offenses
with which he is charged in the find
1ngs of the house committee, then, no
matter what his political faith and
affiliation may be, he should be re-
moved from office.
Oklahoma has passed beyond the
wild and woody days when the gun
man held sway and when a mans
political ability was measured by his
smoothness in sucking eggs and hid
ing the shells. The day of the border
ruffian. OF the cattle rustler, of the
train robber in Oklahoma has passed.
So also has passed the day of the
corruptionist in politics, of the poll
uca. CRATER, of the man who prosti-
tues his office and betrays the trust
imposed in him by his constituents
by STOPPING to dishonesty and thiev-
cry.

lawlessness of territorial days. and
the man Of integrity has, we trust,
taken the place of the political trick

But, in the case OF the possible inn

the report OF the house investigating

American and British Divisions of
Worlds Oceans Differ Widely.

That there is magic and mystery in
numbers is an ancient tale, and the fact
is confirmed by many an inquirer asking.
(which are the seven seas?" Kipling
may have known. but does the general
Ipublic really know?
Upon inquiry there appears to be agree
ment as to six of the seven. These six
are: The Atlantic the Arctic. Antarc-
tic, Pacific. Mediterranean and Indian
And just as the ancients, agreeing on six,
were divided upon the seventh wonder

ish authority does not employ the divisions
of the American school geography. which
recognizes FIVE oceans-Atlantic Pacific
Indian. Arctic and Antarctic. The Royal
Geographical society names three oceans
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian. PrUxim-
ity of the Antarctic circle to the recently
discovered coast of the southernmost great
body of land has caused British authori-
ties to eliminate consideration of an Ant
arctic Ocean, and to describe the three
great oceans as having antarctic facies.

He first subjected himself to q rigorous
