HERRIN INDICTMENTS

Thirty-five men have been indict-
ed for participation in the bloody
Herrin massacre, and the court OF
public opinion must approve the
action OF the grand jury
Men were brutally murdered in
Herrin because they were working.
True enough they took jobs lett
idle by other men, but even so the
only crime they committed was the
crime OF being willing to risk dang
er in support of their homes.
Unionism cannot be held respon-
sible for the Herrin massacre. Even
though union men did the Staying,
the whole affair was and is repul-
sive to union leaders everywhere.
The unions realize that such in
human and brutal tactics will do
more to hurt their cause than all
the justice OF their principle.

OKLAHOMA DOES THINGS

Another thing that Oklahoma
may be proud OF is the fact that
this state is doing more for the
disqualification OF its world war
soldiers than any other state in the
union, and almost as much as the
federal government itself.
The government has had twenty
million dollars at its disposal to
build hospitals for soldiers and has
done practically nothing with it.
Oklahoma had one and a quarter
million dollars and with that money
will, before the close OF the year,
have completed disqualification for
as many soldiers as the federal gov
ernment has.
In Oklahoma We do things. In
Washington they talk about doing
them.

INDIAN DAY

In designating one day in the
year for honoring the red man OF
the past, Governor Robertson, we
think, has inaugurated movement
that should be perpetuated. The
chief executive has named Septem-
Der p as a day of general obser-
vance in Oklahoma, when the
schools will lay special stress upon
the aborigines and when all men
and women are expected to remem-
ber in one way or another the first
citizens Of this commonwealth.
In the white mans ruthless con-
quest OF the great west the Indian
as a separate entity has almost been
forgotten. 1t is perhaps we'll that
he is so thoroughly merged into the
present day civilization and yet the
history of the Indian race, the fine,
high points in his tradition should
be indelibly written upon the mihus
OF the people OF this and coming
generations.
The Indian of legand, Of war
path, OF peace pipe and happy hunt
ing grounds is gone, never to re-
turn. In his stead we have the
modern farmer, business man and
politician. Yet there is no more
romantic or picturesque period in
American existance than that lived
by the Indian OF earlier time. 1t
will strengthen us in love of our
state to refresh the traditions OF
the commonwealth.

On Wednesday, May "a, the attract
i've home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Mic
hols of Figarden, was the scene of
beautiful wedding when the young
niece, Miss Helen Severance, became
the bride of Ralph Mackay. Rev.
Thomas Clayton read the marriage
service in the presence of intimate
friends and relatives.
The home was decorated with beau
tiful blossoms of all kinds. The arch
way between the living and the din
ing room was decorated with long
sprays of crimson rambler roses
while stately stock of holly-hocks
stood sentinel at each side. Suspended
from the center of the arch was a we'd
ding bell of roses.
Promptly at o'clock, to the strains
of the wedding march as played by
the brides two cousins, Mrs. Rolly
Williams, of Dinuba, at the piano and
Mrs. Roy Wilmington, of Orange
Cove. violinist, the wedding party
c2me down the winding staircase.
Misses Jane Severance and Harriet
Severance dressed in quaint froeks of
pink and green taffeta made bouffant
with ruffles, came first, carrying silver
stats on the ends of which were tied,
with pink tulle, lunches of white roses.
As they reached the lowest step, they
held their stats to form an arch
through which the others passed.
Miss Phyllis Severance was her sis
ter's Eoaid of honor and wore a lovely
gown OF blue and pink changeable
taffeta trimmed with accordion pleated
ruffles. She carried bouquet of
sweet peas. Little Anne Wilmington.
in a fluffy white organdy frock and

Following the service, and congratu-
lations, refreshments were served in
the very attractive lattice court back
Of the house. This court is one of the
features of the home, being sur
rounded with tall hollyhocks, the pool
in the center being filled with water
lilies. The later hours Of the evening
We're spent in dancing in the large
sitting room unstairs.
Late in the evening, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mackay left by motor for their honey
moon, and upon their return will make
their home in Fresno, Calf. Many
presents of silver, china, pottery and
furniture were received which will
find place in the new home.

On Sunday evening a number of
friends were privileged to hear an ex-

which was given at the home of Mr..

by Miss Selley, pupil of Mrs. Pripps.
Several classical selections were given
IN way which reflected great credit
upon both teacher and pupil. In adj

program included vocal duet by the
Misses Margaret and Manila KoehIer
and a tenor solo by Mr.. ]. E. Iver-
