The Unfortunate Mexican Incident

Regret perhaps much Impotence, because Of
the new and rather embarrassing complication
In the relations between Washington and
Mexico, will be felt by those who have been
hoping for the early recognition Of the Obrcgon
government, Certain communications which
have passed between representatives of the two
governments gave rise to pyrotcchnic oratOry
in the Mexican congress and wh t IS described
as the most hostile demonstration toward THIS
country known in many years. That the Incl

shown by n unanimous vote Of the lower cham

4 Political Echo

Editor World: with your indulgence would
Ike to write a few words for your barometer Of
Public opinion. l under the date OF No
Vember at oklahoma city, self-styled Texas
democrat has gone and rigged himself out in
pair Of long-eared boots, big hat and spurs
called you hot-headed John Fields man, but
failed TO call himself hot headed fool sup
porter of Jack Walton. Well l suppose there
are fools fron Texas just there from
other states. but don't think he has any right
TO lay any claim to being a patriotic supporter
OF the constitution of the United states and
then in the same breath hrag about voting for
n bolshevist like the aforesaid Walton. 1t Is
rather amusing to hear a democrat rare at the
republicans for always supporting a republican,
and then admit that 1t don't make any differ
ence what the democratic party puts up, II it Is
bolshevist and leader of the red army why
II Us all O. X. for them to vote for him.
Now, as l am not a resident OF oklahoma,
but of Kansas where we vote for both demo-
Gratis and republicans Il ought not TO con-
Germ me, But l born and raised in the
United States and what ocCurs any place in the

con, And must say that this election In Okla

makes you wonder IL the time isn't close at hand
when the same thing will be going here in
tho good old L. $ A. that is going on in Rus
sia at the present time and why is IL that some
e&-soldiers always want to bring up their war
record to try and prove to the world their pa
trousm. There were thousands caught In Will

tain their own self-respect and the respect of

The Horoscope

"The stars incline but do not compel"
Opt. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper synd.

Jupiter is In threatening mood to-
day, according to astrology, and late
in the afternoon Uranus is friendly.
It is sway under which to sell,
Il being luckier to get rid OF prop
erty or merchandise than it Is to
acquire either under this aspect.
All the commercial signs seem to
encourage the tightening OF all
financial responsibilities rather
than any addition to them.
Jupiter is in a place that may
bring anxieties to men who are at
the head Of large enterprises.
whether they be governmental or
financial.
Criticisms of college presidents
and heads of public schools are fore
cast. Educational topics will be
widely discussed durtng the winter.
The afternoon is fortuitous for
all who desire to travel and il Ia
prornosticated tina: Florida and
other states favored by tourists will
benefit
A winter Of unusual and even ex-
traordinary weather conditions is
again foretold,
warning is given that much ILL
ness will prevail and that the poor
will need q great deal of help.
The conjunction of Mars and
Uranus on Christmas day falling on
the ascendant will indicate an out
rage in which criminals will take
advantage of untoward conditions.
The seers declare that men who
have Jupiter as their principal ruler
will do well to use their power In
guiding women, who need protection
as never before.
1t will be recalled that the pro-
phets who read The indications for
the new era predicted that women
would be highly suggestible and that
they would be easily led by occult
forces OF evil.
The seers explain that the release
OF many souls in the war = respon-
sble for the orgy OF crime from
which the world now suffers.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury OF profitable year In
which they will make changes that
are beneficial. Children born on this
day are likely TO be gifted and in-
dustrious but inclined to be care
less regarding money. They may
| find success easy TO attain.

4 CTTY nENUTMTL.

Tulsa ought to be city beautiful as well as
city useful and a city prosperous. But t can
not become such until greater pride is aroused
in the matter OF small things, greater de-
termination upon the part OF the citizenship
that It will not tolerate the subordination OF
every artistic and sentimental sense TO the mer-
eenary.
IN some respects Tulsa Is still wearing village
clothes, one OF these is Its lighting syStem
reference to which was made a fow days ago
Another Is the laxness evlnced by II In tolerat-
ing the cluttering Of the streets with circulars
the daubbing of sidewalks with signs, and the
erection OF signboards indiscriminately, like a
village Of only few hundred souls
Probably no citizen OF the city but has felt
himself Indignant on going to his motor car
in the evening and finding It filled with dodgers.

Whose heart would leap with a thrill OF

At word OF praise and Ia pass It out
Where the crowd could hear as

And whenever TO me a good thing came

And III go to him and Ia pat his back
And ia say: THAT was perfectly splen-

Now a bit OF praise L~St much to give
But its dear to the hearts OF all who
live;
And there's never a man on this good
old earth
But is glad TO be told that he's been Of
worth,
And a kindly word whom the work is
fair
rs welcomed and wanted everywhere.
II l were boss, l am sure I should
Say a kindly word whenever l could;
For the man who has given his best by

Wants little more than his weekly pay,
He Hikes to know, with the setting sun,
That hts boss IS pleased with the work
he's done.
