TULSA DAILY WORLD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2s, 1922

man has a vote who belongs 10 any
calling. The initiative and refefen-
DUN inside OF the various cGllings
and professions works all the time.
Every man. therefore. has two votes
in this country; one his vote al the
uplls for men TO enforce the laws
and a second vote In his trade or
calling to laws which shall be pre-
ssnted 20 congress Ills second
vote is actually OF much more I'm
por,ance than his first. For IN ordi- =
nary times congress fs controlled
by these organized minoritles. We
nre supposed TO have a government
OF maiorities reglstered In political
parties. As a matter OF fact' the
weakest organization in Washington,
so far as political Influence within
congress In concerned. is the re-
publican national committee. II Is a
plgmy compared to the Anti Saloon
league. the American Federation OF
Labor, the women voters or the ma
tional chamber OF commerce.
And the democratic national COM
mittee. though Il represents con-
adorable minority OF American
voters. stands for nothing In wash
ington. And that Ia because the po-
lltlcal vote IL weaker than the vote
in some organized minority. A
mans vote through his trade or
.7i''rg counts for much more than
his party vote.
Soul Of Great Republic.
Imperial Washington" the soul
OF the great republican empire
what a town IL is, full OF things
that are not what thev seem. n place
OF crosscuts and OF cltcumlocu-
tlons side by side, Here the two
forms OF government reign without
serious disagreement. The powerful
government OF organized minorltles
the weak government OF
a dlsintegrating majority gathered
az each election. These two gov
ernments have few classes: the
weak generally obeys tho strong.
even though the stronger govern
men, is without constitution or by
laws. Few people know about II.
And the few who know about IL
care little about the fact that the
real government Ia Invisible. The
titles OF government go with the
weaker form of government--pres =
dents, cabinet members, bureau
chiefs. representatives. senator's.
Judges ana what not OF Official ma
hobs The heads OF the invisible
government rulers OF the innumer-
able minorities In Washington. are
often men OF greater skill in politics
and sometimes have better minds
than many OF those who run the
regular political governments.
City OF Exotic Beauty.
SO we have two classes OF states
men. caste OF titled political
Pharisees who are stlcklers for the
outward form OF power and a lower
caste that gives them lip service
and then bosses them around in
continently. Such are the mysterious
habits OF our imperial city. The
strongly beautiful exterior OF the
place. the charming splashes OF
color in the ribbon OF traffic that
runs along the zigsag streets, the
exotic beauty OF many little parks
and corners OF wood and bramble,
trysting places OF heaven knows
what senile fauns OF a modern and
dislllusioned world, all make a city
that defles our four-square Ameri-
can minds. The thing just couldn't
happen In a land that Is built along
section lines about a courthouse
square. with n gospel-hymned re-
llglon and with Puritan soul. Yet,
here II IL. grown out of our hearts,
made OF our vision. built upon our
own tower babel--a graceful shadow
that we have cast upon the world
from our real souls, all done In
