About Things In General.

Editor world; Speaking Of jake and Jake
heads stills and siil heads officers Of the
south, Christian Scientists and tho Catholics.
Lass but not least the negroes and the Jews.
Saying nothing about the Greeks who run tho
Isn't 1t blessing that the God who made
us all gave us some kind of gibberage so wei
could talk about each other In a manner which
Is at least interesting to ourselves
As words are Invented TO hide our real feel
lngh some go too far with them and try. and
do soil them 70 others for the squoczings OF the
earth brought forth by honest toll so as their
strength to write more words
,ari, Tm9 te3ly good people cay nothing Their
ignorant. It's not our faith that saves us at
critical times, IT'S rather our lack OF faith in
ourselvos We may have added the quicker
column OF figures right the first time. but to
convince ourselves we take them back fore
most and go over them again.
The World or the Tribune need not concern
themselves about the Jake joints the quality
of Jake dished out, the stuff itself will regulate
the participant quicker than their words OF
wisdom ana bring them to realization OF their
position In society.
As Thomas Jefferson said speaking Of the
negro; 'Thcy are the only race that he knew
of that were ashamed OF their color. and In
consequence. the balance OF humanity naturally
looked down on them"
heard prominent lawyer wlthing the past
year putting his side of a murder case before a
Tulsa Jury, admonsh them not to put too much
confidence in what he said from the fact that
lawyer is prone to lose sight of the real Issue
and make It a checker game with the opposl-
uon,--but let US go the evidence together.
etc. This lawyer was at least honest with him
self his client and the jury,
l think all laws made to be broken. but
II takes good man TO break them. as a super
intendent on certain railroad once told me
| might add and still holds his job.
Liberty, as | understand It, il power. oppor-
! tunity, or advantage. that anyone has to do as
| he plcascs Or in other words. his being free
| from hindrance or impcdiment In the way OF
doing; or conducting In any respect, he Wills.
And the contrary to liberty, whatever name we
call that by, is persons being hlndered or un-
able 10 conduct as he will being necessitated
to do otherwise, So II some people persist
in stealing cars and hi-jacking people. leaving
! the wife and little children at home waiting
etornaNy for the father and husband to cross
| the threshold to furnish them substance, and
| he after making an honest effort to relieve the
wants Of those given into hlS keeping, Is laying
on the road side with his skull cavcd In. The
man, mean not man, but hi-jaCker. that per-
| pctratos crime OF this kind--in the words Of
| General Pershng who | heard speak here in
| Convention hall, referring to just such people
They should be gotten rid of--no matter how
| An attorney might lose fee, but by gum IT'S
worth a.
There is always danger ot going too far with
| mob law, It gives the vicious who love to see
! others suffer, feast that negro enjoyed while
| he fiddled while Rome was burning
The few can rule the many II they are right,
| but II they are wrong, II acts as a boomerang,
| or like throwing a shngle at building a
