The weeping willow like the robin
which is the first bird to be heard in

song at night, is the first to show its

remaining until the first heavy frost

While this argument is largely
true, tho governor is still obsessed
with the idea that there are folks
who believe ne is a statesman and
a regular political fellow. Although
his entire following now consists of
those who still expect him TO render
favors before his term expires, II IS
true that he is not aware OF this CON
dition
But the party workers want a dl-
Nor,c from the governor. They ask
that this bc granted the Sew York
way where the decree is granted
and the evidence withheld from the
public. Friends and enemies alike
admit the democratic party is Dutl-
tied to divorce from the guvcrnor,
but the oklahoma laws require that
such proceedings shall be in open
court. That Is the rub.

DELAWARE FORTS
WILL Be MAINTAINED
War Dept. Officials Say No Idea
Of Disarmament is En-
tertained.

Special Dispatch From Every Evenings
Washington Correspondent
Washington. Feb. I9.-That Deia-
ware forts will be improved, rather than
dismantled. Is the opinion OF War De
partment officials who are informed on
the subject They will only be aban-
doned when the world agrees 10 ana
enforce a disarmament agreement. One
OF the officials who gave this opinion
said Of course, the new administration
was not bound by the views and prac-
tices Of the present War Department,
hut ne knew OF no responsible military
or naval authority who would recon
mend the abandonment OF the forts.
WHY. said one Of the generals.
by abandoning the Delaware river
forts you make possible an invasion
ot the [ United States In the early part
of the European War the territory
covered by these forts were closely ex
arniupd by the War Department and
some officials expressed the opinion that
The vast population now under the pro
lection Of the guns. needed additional
protection
u know this Congress wants 10 make
a record for economy, but no responsible
statesman will count dollars as more
important than the protection Of the
teemire life and immense property on
both sides OF the Delaware river. When
the world agrees 10 q disarmament pro
gram il will be time enough 20 dis
mantle the Delaware forts
Il was stated that the money pro
vided by Cangress would be sufficient
70 care for what military men regard
as the indispensable forts but many
others wlIl have 10 be given up.
