THE TREATY RATIFIED.

The entire country Ia to be congratulated on
the ratification OF the Pacific pact. Substantial
progress has now been made towards the ac-
ceptance OF a national policy In respect to for
oign affairs, most disturbing issue removed

Tho discovery Is mSdc that Tulsa Is sadly In
need OF planning" whatever that may mean.
But we have an Idea that Tulsa was given a lot
of planning back thorc In tho days when a
few genuine boosters bot every cent they pos
scsscd and mortgugcd their future % turn n
western hamlet into the modern city OF today
The result looks good TO n lot Of us folks. We
would be satisfied with a lot more Of tho same
sort Of planning" those oarly-d boosters gave
us. Most anybody can paint a perfect city
that Ia. perfect from the standpoint OF the
aesthetic But the trouble with n picture OF
that sort Is that II lacks lfo--thero arc no pco-
pie In It. And without people-the kind God
Almighty made. some good some better and
some worse, yet all responding 20 implanted
human nature, no city ls worth whole lot
There's lot OF things most any citizen could
now do to or for Tulsa But tho nxcrs were
not here when the time was ripe to prescribe
and perform. That seems to he the way with
most cltIcs-they are tho victims OF circum-
stance rather than the products OF artists OF
course 1t ought not to be that way, but It is
on the plains OF northwest Texas to lay out
dream city and build the darncd thing from the
ground up just the way It ought to be built.
But for the live centors peoplcd by live folks,
fear that the old system must endure for
quite a spell. 1t will harrow the scnsbftics Of
the artistic. but oven these will come in order
to put money in their purse.

Senator James Reed, OF Missouri, has an
nounccd his candidacy for reelection. 1t Is also
announced that he win make his platform the
sins OF omission OF the present republican ma
tonal administration. Reed Is clever and
experienced politician. He gained his greatest
reputation as foe OF the Versailles pact and
a critic Of Woodrow Wilson. Strange enough
his opponent In tho democratic primary is
Breckenridge Long one OF tho Wilson attaches
and one OF Reeds severest critics during the
treaty fight For two years Reed has been
playing politics for the purpose OF securing his
own recollection. And he has played master
ful game. The campaign will be interesting
even to Oklahomans. where Reed was rotten
eggcd for attempting TO make a speech against
Wilson and the league, It remans to be seen
whether the Wilson sentiment stln prevails in
Missouri or whether Reed by shifting his lines
so as to face the republican enemy. can COM
mand the necessary support FOR his renomlna-
tlon and election.
