One Splendid Appointment.
Democrats and republicans alike
fro mthe west side of the state are
glad to know that Col. Amos Ewing
of Guthrie is slated for prohibition
enforcement officer. Colonel
Ewing is an old timer. As the first
judge of Blaine county he carved
an official reputation that clings to
him to this very moment. As oil
inspector in territorial days he won
the reputation of being different
from any other oil inspector who
had gone before and none since that
time ever came up and matched his
points
The more The World correspon-
dent thinks OF this subject, the
stronger becomes his conviction that
Mr.. Daugherty's slate as to Ewing
should be unopposed. The United
States attorney general could find

peculiarly fitted for prohibition en-
forcement officer as Colonel Ewing
certainly no other citizen OF the
state could pursue the wicked with
more dignity or more fixed purpose.

on our treeless plains.
In the event OF Colonel Ewing be-
ing inducted into the office of chief
prohibition enforcement officer for
the state OF Oklahoma, The World
correspondent bespeaks for him a
spiritual and profitable season.
II Is certainly fitting and proper
that Colonel Ewing's distinguished
career as an Oklahoma official
should be closed in a hard and very
intelligent effort 10 drive liquid corn
from our midst. Then, too, there is
the moral lesson of virtue having
its own reward.
