barometer of Public Opinion


Editor world; In perusing the correspond
ence column OF your esteemed paper for a
period extending over the past three months.
! have been forced into the conclusion that most
OF the neurotic tendencies for which the Ameri-
can people are usually given credit for, must
exist In the systems of the majority Of Tulsa )
residents
To cite all the Instances leading mo to the
above conclusion would be taking up too much
OF your valuable space, therefore let us be
content with the two incidents to crystalline
First there is the worthy and distressed
brother whose wall was contained in his letter
complaining to the world at large that the
Tulsa landlords are extracting his lfe's blood
in the way OF rent, Offering as evidence OF their
profitcerng. the lady who purchased two houses
with her accrued profits from boarding house.
Marvellous, and also astonishinE that she should
be able to do IT, II has always been my con-
tcntion, maintained through the vicissitudcs OF
world travel and In various conditions of life
tfor instance aS n tramp, that human nature
has always been pretty much the same and
wonder how long II would take this gentleman
10 convert himself from profitoered to profi-
tcer' II he were given the opportunity | have
no doubt but that he would be as rabd in rats-
ing his rent II he owned his place. should
be myself outside OF this there are numerous
and varied reasons why rent in Tulsa should
be high, and unless blind they are plain for one
To see and understand. Doubtless ne came to
Tulsa for the same reasons that many more Of
uS did, because he could get work, and at high
wages Let him rest in peace.
The next instance is the letter appearing in
your paper this morning from worthy ladies'
demanding an apology from YOU, in connection
with your remarks anent the Mcacham -Crum
case. while as reader, disagree with some
OF your policies, yet | am forced to confess that
| have seen absolutely nothing I'm your sheets on
this subject for which an apology IL necessary,
and | claim to be absolutely unbiased on the
subject II has been my opinion for years
that II the president himself should call me a
liar, should cndeavor to Kick him in the teeth.
and ! know Of no reason whatsoever. which
would prevent any man from applying he stinr
treatment 10 man Of the cloth. Hes a man

tion to other and more worthy matters than
these, the fruits Of their efforts would prob
ably be enjoyed moro by the public at large.
Permit me to say that this Is my first break
into print for some years, that know none OF
the parties in either case cited, and that am
not even "A subscriber TO your paper, but like
TO regard myself as one getting a supreme en-
joymcnt out Of The Passing show OF life itself.

Consolation.

Copyright 1921, by Edgar A GuesD
We shall be Comfortcd in time.
Though now the heavy shades are drawn
And solcmnly the church bells chime
From darkness We shall come to dawn
Death is the bittercs, blow that falls
Yet an who live are born to die,
Somewhere the solemn courier calls
with every hour that passes by.
Yet are We brave and arc We true
And would We try 10 please our dead
We must not mourn the long days through
But by our faith be comfortcd
The loneliness rs hard to bear,
The silence seems to chill us through
And missing them that were SO fair
There seems no JOY in an We do.
No speech can ltt this weight OF grief
AS solemuly the church bells chime,
Now must We turn to our belief
We shall be comfOrtod in time.

Aaaa Case Has S@m@s In Her
 Wears Gowns


 The Musical Events Club of the Warren District will present the dis tinguished American soprano, Anna Case, at the Grand Theatre on March 23rd.
 Miss Case has in her repertoire over 800 songs. During her last tour in Europe she spent great part of her time collecting new songs. as much of her success has been due to her carefully selected programs. She is as particular in this matter as her audiences are exacting, and never chooses a song that is not suited to her temperament as well as to her voice. In spite of the fact that ire Quently, owing to her worldwide pop ularity. she sings for the same public three and four times, she never fails to give an interesting program Her command of English, French. Italian, German and Scandinavian gives her a broad field to choose from.
 While in Europe Miss Case gave a recital at the Queens Hall. On her return from there she made tour through the southwest reaching the Pacific coast in February. The War ren District will have the pleasure of hearing her on her return from the coast
 Apart from her lovely voice, Miss Case is rarely beautiful woman. To quote one critics. Rare flowers de light the senses more ir a carved

Douglas Women Visit For T ca Rnd Tennis =

The Country Club tea last Tuesday proved to be much more exciting from a tennis standpoint than ever before. Thirteen Douglas women came up in the morning about 10 o'clock. Owing to the numerous gay cities of the week here there were not more than half as many Bisbee wom- en to play against them. However. in spite of rather mixed matches, every one had an exceedingly good day. Covers were laid for IT at lunch and immediately afterward tennis was resumed During the afternoon sever al tables of bridge were made up and quite few more guests arrived for tea. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs J. T. Hood, Mrs. C. M. Lynn and Mrs. C. S. Thompson. A number of the Bisbee- women are planning to go to the Douglas club a week from next Saturday.
 The ladies tennis tournament is lined up. 2S being listed.

The sale will take place at McWhorter's Music store on Wednesday, March 23rd.
