What a Camel looks Like

We have been trying for some time
to think what a camel looks ike,
and now we have made it out. When
he is down on all his knees. fiat on
his breast, to receive his load. he
looks something like a goose swim
ming: and when he is upright he
looks like an old ostrich with an
extra set of legs. Camels are not
beautiful, and their long under lip
gives them an exceedingly ''gallus''
expression. They have immense fiat,
forked cushions of feet that make 4
track in the dust like a pie with a
slice cut out Of it. They are not par
ticular about their diet. They would
eat a tombstone If they could bite
it. A thistle grows about here which
has needles on it that would pierce
through leather, I think; il one
touches you, you can find relief in
nothing but profanity. The camels
eat these They show by their
actions that they enjoy them. 1 sup

camel to have a key of nails for

responsible for the Tulsa outrage. Primarily
the sworn officers of the law are to be held
responsible for the Outrage against civiliza-
tion" which was perpetrated Tuesday night
and Wednesday of last week, at Tulsa. They
and the mob spirit, the same spirit which q
few months ago led to the lynching of a
white boy of that city, may alone be held to
blame that Tulsa today is advertised to the
outside world as cesspool of hell, cess
pool which has been boiling and bubbling,
seethng and frothing for many months.
And no unmany unethical effort to make
it appear that Tulsa and Ardmore are now
on the same footing morally, will detract one
jot or title from the odium under which the
law-abiding citizens of that town will be
forced to lie for many years to come.

PUNISH THE GUILTY

Although there can be nothing but the
severest condemnation for the Tulsa city and
county officials who miserably failed to en-
force the law, for the negroes and white men
who killed innocent people and for those who
set fire to the negro settlement, there are
several things in regard to the outbreak which
are worthy of praise.
These are, first, the prompt action of
the governor and the adjutant general in
calling out the national guard; second the
efficiency of the guardsmen in restoring order
in Tulsa; third, the fine work of the Red
Cross and volunteer assistants in caring for
the suffering; fourth, the decision of the bust
ness men of Tulsa to rebuild the burned
homes of the negroes; and fifth, the act of
Governor Robertson in providing for ses-
sion of the grand jury to investigate the riots
and in appointing Attorney General Freezing
to direct the probe.
There is strong reason to believe that if
the Tulsa city and county officials had made
a real effort, the riots could have been pre-
vented-or at least queled before much loss
of life or property occurred The right kind
of aw-enforcing officers would have died, if
necessary, to preserve order. Reports indi-
cate, however, that this not only was not
done, but that some of the leaders of the
white mob were special officers.
The tasks that lie ahead are to restore
the homes of the negroes and to punish the
offenders. In the former duty, Tulsa citizens
are manifesting commendabe spirit. In
regard to Furnishing the offenders law-re-
specting residents of Tulsa should cooperate
in every way with the attorney general and
the grand jury Only with such cooperation
can the investigation produce the results that
are to be desired. Ordinarily it is difficult to
secure evidence against members of mobs The
enormity Of the crimes of the Tulsa riots,
however, should induce citizens to inform, as
patriotic duty. The good name of Tulsa is
at stake. Only when the guilty are punished
will real progress be made toward removing
the stain.-Daily Oklahoman.

going into the class occupied solely by the
penurious. He may be thrifty without being
niggardly. He may lay the foundation for
advancement on account of his palpable saw
ing habits, without being stingy.
The young man who demonstrates to his
employer that he is thrifty, at the same time
demonstrates that he is well-balanced that
he knows that dollar is worth one hundred
cents, that he appreciates the fact that life is
real and that all endeavors toward success
must be earnestly made.
Perhaps at no time in the history of the
United States has greater or better oppor-
tunity been afforded the young men for ad-
vancement. along the road to success than is
afforded them today.
In years gone by, the years during which
John Barleycorn ruled throughout the length
and breadth of the United States, the pit
falls into which the feet of the unwary the
young man just starting out in life, might fall
were many He had to resist the temptation
of the open saloon, the temptation of joining
roistering companions, the temptation of ally
ing himself with the hordes of Bacchus In
those days to be good fellow he had to
have good carrying capacity and his
ability to transact business was judged by his
ability to absorb intoxicants in allopathic doses
and to keep on his feet.
Thousands of brilliant young men, start
ing out in life under the most auspicious con-
ditions, with unlimited successes awaiting
them in the offing, went to ruin or death in
those days through succumbing to the temp
tations offered by the open saloon, through
hardening to the song of the liquorman' s
Harpies
Today no such evil confronts the boy when
he goes forth, with armor buckled in place.
But other dangers to his ultimate success
lie in wait, ready to seize and throttle him
and the greatest of these is wastefulness.
The saving habit, the thrift habit evidenced
by the well-worn passbook of some bank is
the "open sesame to the young man who,
starting at the bottom, would climb to the
topmost round of the ladder of success
