Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,

OhAoAOhN ONsJt
June 20, 1921
Editor Democrat: | was amazed at
some of the statements contained
in the article entitled "a Prehistoric
Empire" by Mr.. s. A. Coffman Of
Tyrone, Oklahoma, in the issue Of
your paper of June 8. In May and
June of 1920, Mr.. Warren X. Moore
head, curator Of the Andover,
(Mass.) Museum Of American Arch
aeology, under whose direction an
archaeological survey of the valley
of the Arkansas River and those of
its principal tributaries has been
conducted during the past five years
was at work with a field party in
the Texas Panhandle. By special in
vitation, I Joined Mr.. Moorehead's
party late in May and was with it
during the greater part of June.
while was with this party consider
able scouting was done in all three
counties of the Oklahoma Panhan-
die and portions Of Clark, Meade
and Seward counties, in Kansas,
were also visited and searched for
evidences of prehistoric life.
In Clark County, we found two
irrigation bitches of prehistoric orr
gin. We also visited "the West
Lakes" four niles west of Fleetwood
mentioned in Mr.. Coffman's article
and which, he says, mark the bed
of ancient river from which the
prehistoric irrigation bitches led"
AS a matter of fact, the West Lakes
are not part of any ancient river
bed. On the contrary, they are due
to depressions in the upland prairie
and doubtless owe their origin to a
subsidence of the surface as the re-
suit of subterranean erosion. More
over, it would be necessary to con-
struct a tunnel to take water from
either of these pools and get it to
either of the ancient irrigation
bitches in the same vicinity.
OF the two irrigation bitches
which have existed from prehistoric
times and which are located west of
Englewood, l traced the course II
the larger one (traveling over it
afoot) to its source, about eleven
miles, cross the county line in the
hills of southeastern Meade Coun-
ty, where the original course of a
stream, locally known as Two-Mile

N The Democrat can see no, good
reason at this time why these re-
strictions should exist with the ex-
ception of the business district or
fire limit, and we are not by any
means alone in this opinion. &
The two arguments against fire
works are the fire hazard and the
danger of injury to those doing the
shooting. The former, with little
educational propaganda can be re-
duced to the minimum, the latter is
more of bugbear than a real rea-
son.
This year State Fire Marshal Hus-
sey, modified the ruling in regard to
fireworks, permitting firecrackers
to be shot. We notice in the dailies
that "because a too liberal inter-
probation was placed On the modifi-
cation the lid, hereafter, would be
clamped on tight"
We would like to know where Mr..
Hussey has so much power, and why
it was given him If the people Of
Kansas want their children to shoot
firecrackers it is manifestly their
own business, and we consider the
restriction in the same light as lot
of the "blue laws" which interested
persons or "notoriety seeking re-
formers are trying to jam down
our necks.
AS a local paper said last week in
substance, these claws" or "orders''
are making Bolshevicks and law
breaks of otherwise law-abiding citi-
zens. In fact, We are becoming reg
ulated to death. 1t is fast getting so
one cannot turn around without vio-
lating some fool law, and people are
becoming so accustomed to violating
law, that it would take hundred
policemen to enforce every law on
the books in Liberal.
The fireworks law is a state prop
osition, but we would like to see the
next legislature kick state inter
ference to the winds and give each
city the right to make such laws as
it sees fit. Then we would like to see
the city ordinance modified in such
way that half the kids in town
would not become criminals and the
other half envious of them.
The writer shot firecrackers for
a good many years and never had an
accident and personally we are will
ing to take the risk of our children

The archaeology of the Oklahoma
and Texas panhandles and of the
contiguous portions of Kansas and
Colorado is interesting and is well
worthy of careful investigation and
study. People who make a personal
first-hand study of such matters are
generally loath to write much if any
thing in regard to the same until a
thorough investigation has been
completed and then there is no need
Of padding out with imaginary and
impossible details. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Mr.. Coffman's article
tended to create erroneous impress
sions in regard to these matters, and
it is solely for the purpose of cor
~'"ti-g such impressions upon the
popular mind that | have taken the
liberty of writing the foregoing in,

embankment, some sixty feet broad
at the base, twenty feet high and
over hundred feet long. AS our
time was limited, no attempt was
made to trace the course of the 9TH

Mr.. Moorehead's party not only
secuted over the country west of
Englewood but also made numerous
inquiries of residents of that part of
the country but neither saw nor
heard of any of the trenches or pits
