BRIBERY CHARGES
Governor Of Oklahoma Claims
Latest Charge Made a
'DastardIy Lie.'

oKMULGEE, okls., Nov. 20
(By the Associated Press. ).-An-
other chapter in the prosecution
Of Governor Robertson is being
written in court here this mora.
ing.
District Judge Thomas A.. Ed
yards of Cordell is hearing Coun-
ty Attorney James Hapburn's mo-
ton to set aside the change Of
venue in the bribery case against
the states chief executive, grant
cd Friday by District judge Lucl-
en- B. Wright
Partisan feeling has run high
since the hearing,
Judge Edwards was appointed
by the State Supreme Court Fri
day to replace In the proceedings
Judge Mark L. Bobarth, against
whom the governors mandamus
atclon was upheld in September
in the high courts.
The appointment was made
within a few hours after Judge
Wright had dramatically taken
matters into his own hands and
granted the change Of venue to
Ada, Okla, and set the case for
hearing Wednesday. Judge
Wright and Bazarth are in the
same judicial distritc. Judge
Wright held he was qualified af-
ter Judge Bozarth has been ruled
out.
The county attorney alleges 10
was not given notice the motion
was to be heard
His petition to set aside the
change Of venue makes the sensa-
tional charges that Governor Rob
ertson recently freed a murderer
convict from the state peniten-
tiary to attend the governors trial
and "kill the county attorney Of
0kmulgee County" and he asks Il
a change Of venue Is granted. the
case be set for trial at some point
where "the life OF said county al
torney-can and will be protect
ed "
Hepburn also charges that
Judge Wright was not qualified to
hear the change Of venue motion
becauze OF alleged collutIon with
the governor and because of an
alleged bride which he states the
judge has been accused OF taking
to settle a case.
Governor Robertson yesterday
denied the accusation Of Hepburn
which was filed In district court
Saturday night. He termed the
allegation that he freed a prisoner
TO kill the county attorney "a
dastardly lie. made at this time
for the sole and only purpose Of
trying to create public sentImeH:
against me on the eve Of my cage
going to trial at Ada"
The course OF Governor Robert
sons case has been marked with
bitter and sensational charges and
eounter-charges. The Indictment
which alleged acceptance OF i
bride to allow a defunct Okmulgen
bank to continue IN operation was
returned here last March only
after one judge had dismissed
grand jury which 1t was alleged.
was on the point of returning az
indictment, and left town.
The indictment was returned
Immediately by another court
The governor appeared to make
bond guarded by officers Of the
Oklahoma National Guard,
Charges that the Ku Klux Khan
had a part in bringing about the
indictment were made by the gov
ernor when he filed a petition Ia
the State Supreme Court for the
mandatory removal Of Judge
Mark L. Bozarth, In whose court
the instrument was returned,
from further connection with the
case. The mandamus was granted.

RECRUITING FOR CIVIL WAR
Woodcuts OF the Period Show How

An old woodcut in a Madison ave-

recruiting was done in City Hall park
In Civil war days-1S63. to be exact.
Over a shanty in the park Is AZ large
painted sign with red headlines, which
reads, according to the New York Her

"Thirty Thousand Volunteers Want
cd: County bonus, cash down, $500 /;
state bounty, SIS; United States boun-
ty, for new recruits. 1902. Total 10

Less this handy sum fail to attract
the desired number OF patriots, a plac-

automobiles. Not only is everything
run on a much more expensive basis
but the clerks don't do more than 4
half days work. They see the pro-
prietor loafing and they loaf them
selves. None of them have any in
terest in the business and each one is
trying to get by with as little work
as possible
THE fundamental question is
whether or not this store is selling
any more pounds of beef and provis-
ions than it did 20 years ago i know
the rent has doubled and other ex-
penses have tripled and quadrupled,
but | seriously doubt if this store is
selling any more goods. Gloucester
hasn't as much population as it had
20 years ago, and there are more
butcher shops. 1t is probably true
that people are eating more meat per
capita now than in those days, but
am very sure that the output Of this
shop is no greater than it was 20
years ago. Today, however, when one
Of the neighbors wants steak she no
longer sends her boy TO get it Che is
probably busy playing football or
practicing for a high school minstrel
show or perhaps he is at the movies) 4.
Today the mother telephones to the
butcher shop, the bookkeeper enters
the order on an elaborate filing sys-
tenn, this in turn is given to one of
the clerks who cuts the meat. The
meat is then wrapped i'm two or three
pieces Of paper, put in special bas-
ket and delivered by an auto truck,
costing two or three thousand dollars.
Moreover, the meat is charged to be
billed at the end Of the month and
paid for when, and if money is avail
able.
"As result, people today, under
these conditions must pay double or
triple for their meat compared with
what they paid 20 years ago. The
truth is that today everyone from the
boy of the home to the proprietor
himself is lazy.
No one wants to do anything himself
which he can possibly avoid. Every
one is trying to spend as much Of his
time as he can on anusements, auto
MODELLING and movies. Telephones,
highschools, and credit systems are
wonderful inventions; but they all
tend to increase the cost of distribu-
ton. The retailer is up against fash
ions and customs which have bound
him with ropes that are almost too
strong to break. What the future
will bring forth | do not know. 1t,
however, is evident that the retailer
is not to blame for the present condi-
tons. You and |, as fathers and
mothers, are to blame. Our high
schools are to blame. Retail prices
can be reduced only as the spirit of
work, thrift and usefulness again per-
vades the community.
"To meet this abnormal condition
end the resulting high cost of living"
concluded Mr.. Babson, "the chain
store and the mail order house with
their centralized buying and cash and
carry system is rapidly invading
every shopping center in the country,
together with some department stores
who are now following a scientific
merchandising policy. The soundness
Of this principle and the need for
such a service is reflected in the fact
that Woolworth, Kress, Union Retail
Stores, Butkr Brothers and Sears
Roebuck are among the strong issues
in the stock market.
