Garden City Lodge No. 1404. b.
P. o. Elks, acting under a special
dispensation of TIE Hon. W. w.
Mountain, Grand Exalted Ruler, will
confer the degree on large class
in Craig's Hall, Liberal, on Monday,
evening, December 18th. This initia-
ton work, outside of the town hav-
ing lodge, is very unusual indeed,

there will be large number on hand
to take the work, which is exempli-
fled in very impressive manner, by
the officers of No. 14O4. This Lodge
now has a membership of nearly
500. All the candidates from Lib
eral, Hugoton, Elkhart, and other
surrounding towns are requested to
assemble at Craig's Hall, at | o'clock
on the afternoon of the 18th. to sign
the Question Book, and the Consti-
tuition and Bylaws, and be in readi-
ness to receive the work in the even
ing. A good time is assured. All
Elks in Liberal, Hugoton, Elkhart,
and the vicinity, are cordially invited
to be with us; in fact, they are ex-
pected to be in attendance.

OWEN OUT or TuE RACE.

The formal announcement OF Judge Thomas
II. owen, that he will not seek accept tho
democratic nomination for governor next year
Is easily the most important and most signIri-
cant political announcement of tho summer.
For months It has been known that the Mus
kogoc man and former close associate of &. ~
Haskell, desired to be the next governor or
Oklahoma. Indeed his course In tho last cam.
paign shaped along the lines Of his well
known ambition. And ever since all plans with
reference to the gubcrnatorlal race have taken
into confederation the owen candidacy
when owen left the Gore followers and
ospoused the cause Of scott Ferris hc Is be
Hevcd 10 have dug his political grave. That hc
became ardent supporter of Ferris was due
TO the fact that he considered It good politics
believed that 1t would smooth his way to the
gubcrnatorial nomination In l922 HAD tho
uprising in the ranks OF the democrats been
of the ordinary type that would have been a
sound political move. But tho revolt agninst
Ferris and the bourbon machine was not an or
dinary affair any more than was it's leaders
ordinary men. Their purpose was to defeat
Scott Ferris the famous "mc-tuo" statesman
and discrcdit the bourbon machine which had
foistcd him on the party
They accomplished both purposes ana they
felt unusually bitter toward owen. who had
started with them and deserted In the middle
OF the campaign; 80 much $50 that ever since tho
Goro democrats have restrained themselves
from cxprcsinE partially tor any OF The many
gubernatorIal candidates unt thcy could de-
termIne just which one they should suppor, In
order TO give owen the uclinE they had in
pickle for him.
The significance OF the owen announcement
Is that 1t contains the admission that owen NOT
only understood the hopocssncss OF hts quest
but likewise that the Gore Fcrria aplt Is as
much OF fact today AZ It was hast November
when $4,000 democrats, tho best and most I'm.

nouncement several weeks while friends sought
the aid of Haskell in the hopes that tho an.

brighten the skies. But tho reaction to the
report that Haskell would return 10 take a
hand in Oklahoma potlea again was anything
but encouraging. either TO owen or his friends

the COST PLUS SYSTEM

\ wcll known writer In a recent nory on tho
changes which havc occurred In the Industrial

have passed FOR good is the cost plus Nutcm.
That Is true ana the country should folio,tate
that 1t IL true It ls probably an incon'rovcrtahle
statement that the iniauitous ccst plus system
or government contracting absorbed uunco"s-
sarily nt least 40 cents OF every dollar wrung
from tho pockctbooks Of tho American people
for the conduct OF the war that Its adoption by
the government not only permitted but forced
It's spread into private affairs ana contributed
to an equal wanton waste In every form Of CON
struotion then eStont.
Tho cost plus system paved tho way for tho
radicals Of labor TO make common cause with
the contractors. thus setting atoot an endless
chain Of indofcnslblc costs which mounted high
Ct until at las, the great consuming public could
no longer tolerate the burden.
It was the cost plus system which foun-
dntioncd tho various building combinations and
graft rings which have since bccn uncovered.
