OKMULGEE, Okla. Declaration
that I'VE are face to face, with the
fundamentals of government that "the
time has come when no political party
can afford to make a mistake" and
demand for legal and non.partlsan
investigation Of the conduct of Cow
ernor j. b. A. Robertson and the
banking department of Oklahoma in
connection with the failure of the
Bank Of Commerce here" formed the
basis Of the speech Of welcome by
w. Il. Foster, Of Henryetta, to the
state league of young democrats. in
annual convention here today.
Referring to the Bank of Commerce
incident. Mr.. Foster said:
Demands Investigation.
'Our duty is plain. We must de-
mand that the lights be turned on;
that legal and non-p partisan investi-
cation be made of the conduct Of
Governor Robertson and the banking
department in the failure of the
bank. to the end that If there be Off.
cial misconduct it may be punished
and If not, that these officials may
be exonerated.
Let the investigation be relentless,
but let it be orderly and in accord
ance with the best traditions Of free
people"
Mr.. Foster declared he believed the
people OF the state want to be loyal
to the established forms OF consti-
tutional government" There IL no
great discomfort with the laws which
the democratic party had enacted and
placed on the statute books of the
state" he said. But there Is dis.
content and dissatisfaction with the
manner in which some of these laws
are executed by public officials.
Scores Republican Party. 1
Mr.. Foster drew applause by saying
that the principles of the democratic
party are the very principles which
must ultimately prevail in the very
life of this republic and that the
most notable achievements OF the re.
public, both in war and In peace,
have occurred under democratic aus.
pices."
He scored the republicans, saying
that in vain the people look for relief
TO the stale central committed. He
declared the dominant note in their
campaign viii be the same that SEM
tor Lodge and Postmaster General
Hays struck when they started us
back to 'normalcy,' namely. we don't
know where We are going. but we
are on our way; bring on the flesh
pots"
Mr.. Foster charged that the repub.
licans, led by Senator Lodge waged
a campaign of hypocrisy and false
pretenses against the best interests
of the people and that one OF the
aftermnths was the enrlching OF our
vocabulary by the word Newberry-
ism.
Wilson's Name Applauded.
When Woodrow Wilson's name was
mentioned by the speaker as "the
greatest American of them ALL" a
storm Of applause greeted his remarks
in referring ITO those ideals OF jus.
tice and humanity for which the great
leaders Of the democratic party have
stood.
The democratic party can best
serve the people OF Oklahoma. he
said, by seeing to II that clean men

CAKE MAKINGIS
MADEEASY BY A
FAMOUS EXPERT
Advice Given Which Will Be
Helpful to Those Who
Would Bake Really
Good Sweet.
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

Everyone likes good cake, and many
are the inquiries as to making such
cake the method Of putting together
baking is almost as much so, II the
result is to be perfect.
The remark was made to me, not
long ago that cake at the present time
costs much less than In the days Of
Our grandnothers even though the price
Of food materials is greatly increased.
But when a really fine cake is made
today the same good materials go in
10 it-egss, butter. sugar and flour.
so many cooks make a cake which is
quickly put together. and calls for less
material, but they frost 1t and put it
in layers with filling and the final cost
is quite as much as a cake calling for
more material in itself.

Rules For Mixing.
A few rules TO follow are important
Always have all the materials ready
On the table before beginning work,
Have the oven in good condition. Have
pans carefully buttered or creased.
Butter should be melted over hot
water and allowed to stand until the
sediment has formed. Use oil for greas

with soft piece Of paper or brush.
If the cake is to be baked in q pan
not over three inches deep it is well to
flour it after grsasing. Be careful

cake, the best results are obtained when

THE EASIEST WAY

The trouble with most people is that they
seek an easy answer to difficult problem,
says Bishop Page of Boston.
"The other day l was shown two lottery
tickets bought by women. Thousands of peo-
pie have bought these tickets Millions of dol
lars are spent in worthless stocks, oil and 9th
ers. So many young men, even well-trained
ones, are impatient of the slow processes Of
earning money by constructive effort. They
seek the easy way"
The easiest way is called, by psychologists
and scientists, "the line of least resistance. ="
Usually it leads to failure Are you uncon-
sciously, following it? Most people are
You never saw a prosperous saloon with a
door that opened outward. The door either
opened inward or was of the swinging type.
Saloon-keepers instinctively recognized the
principle of the line of least resistance - and
made their bars approachable the easiest way.
Few people will use the revolving door of
department store when smaller door is prop
ped open nearby.
Many a merchant, whose store had to be en-
tered by climbing a few steps, has greatly in
fcreased business by eliminating the steps, max
ing the entrance slope gradually up.
conservation OF energy is a natural law. The
human body recognizes this law and expends as
little energy as possible - seeks the easiest
way.
Without the human instinct of seeking the
line of least resistance, there would be little
inventive progress in the way Of labor-saving
devices.
Laziness is the father of invention
H For instance, the jack which you put under
your auto axle when you change tires was in
vented by an Ohio farmer boy who disliked lift
ing heavy wagons by hand,
Virtue carried to extremes, often becomes
vice
The eternal human desire to find an easier
way, while excellent up to certain point, is the
cause of most laziness - putting it off till
tomorrow"
Life's problems are very simple easily I'M
Iderstood. Encounterihg them, first seek an
easier Immediate way, then = if none IS
found - mobilize energy for quick attack.
4 problem or job is difficult or easy, accord
ing to ones viewpoint The perpetual formula
for success is: Refuse to be dismayed or dis
heartened by the apparent size of task. Tack
lie it as quickly as possible Immediately and
with all available energy.

SPILLING THE HOME BREW

Thelast excuse for the continuance of drunk
eness in Kenosha has been wiped out by the
supreme court which puts home brewed
Liquors under the ban in the state. Kenosha
has been known as a Home Brew town" ever
since the prohibition amendment became eff
Effective. 1t has been the contention in Kenosha
that the foreign born people of the city have
been so active in the making of home brewed
liquors that it has been impossible to put a stop
to drunkenness. The contention that every
mans "home is his castle" has been decidedly
restraining influence on the enforcement of
law. "They are making it at home, has been
the stereotyped defense of lot of men brought
into court charged with being drunk The home
brew has been featured in lot of fights and
pitched battles and the men responsible for them
have been unable to hide under the supposed
right of men to go ahead and make all the
liquor they wanted so long as they made it in
their home and kept it there.
The decision of the supreme court puts teeth
in the prohibition law and they should be used
in Kenosha. Even men who are most partial to
the cause of the liquor interests are opposed to
the moonshine and the home brew They rec
ognize in it the most dangerous sort of LIQUOR
to be offered to the drinker. They refuse to
drink it themselves and they see in it menace
]" the life of any one who drinks it.
Home brew has been distributed pretty free

q departments in factories and the foreign
born Of the city seem to have found it unusually
easy to find
The new weapon Ia che hands of the officials

mean not only fuller compliance with the pro-
Inhibition amendment but it should mean the pro-
lection OF life and health Of thousands of Ke-
rosha men and women from the danger of this

OUR DELAYED MEMORIAL

The announcement that the new court house
is to have in it a hall to be used as a Memorial
hall calls to mind again the fact that Kenosha
county has done nothing to collect the interest
ing part that this county had in the great world
war. The men who had the most prominent
part in this great struggle, so far as this coun-
ty is concerned, have slipped back into private
life and many of them are forgetting it ALL It's
getting harder every day to get the facts which
will prove SO interesting to future generations
and which would furnish the authentic informa-
ton which will make up the most interesting
chapter in the history of the county with the
possible exception of the splendid story Of Ke-
nosha county in the civil war. This work should
not be longer delayed. The City Council and
the county board should at once take some step
to have these memories of the war put into
some shape for permanent keeping. The cost
of getting this matter into shape at the pres
ent time would not be great. "A few thousand
dollars would probably be sufficient to write
into definite form the story of the men who
served from Kenosha county They are still
here to give to the historian the real facts of
their service. The part that Kenosha had in
the war is still available from the records of
several boards but these matters are being rap
idly forgotten and neglect to get them in shape
now means they will never be taken care Of.
Isn't it possible for some one to get the city
and county interested in this work before it is
too late
