Christopher. at Chicago, declined to accept the judge's resignation, which was rendered after it had been demanded in resolutions adopted at citizens. mass meeting in Okmulgee. following the judges dismissal of a grand jury. which was about to com plete an investigation into the af fairs of the defunct Bank of Com merce there.
 In his letter, the governor said:
 "As governor of this state it is my duty to see that all laws are en- forced and to protect the officers who di scharge their duty. feel that you have made an honest and conscien- tious judge; that your decision and judgment of which this Complaint is made, was an honorable, honest and just decree. When your people have had an opportunity to learn the facts, they will approve your judgment; you will retain their confidence and in my opinion become useful judge in that court. But, be the public sem timent as it may, feel that your hands must be upheld when you are rightfully dscharging your duties and for that reason, I must decline to accept your resignation"

 Judge Christopher-s action in dis solving the grand jury precipitated a demonstration of protest led by County Attorney James Hepburn at Okmulgee, who charged that the judge had been influenced ''by sinis- ter motives"
 He declared that within two hours the grand jury would have returned indictments against several state of- ficials and prominent Okmulgee citi- zens in connection with the banks failure.
 Judge Christopher at first refused to resign, but later forwarded the resignation to Okmulgee. It was then brought here and held in abey- ance until Governor Robertson's re- turn from trade tour of Mexico.

UNCLE SANS GOLD PILE.

Directors Of the United States minis have
changed and with them the custody Of $500, O0O-
600 Of gold The metal represents third of the
worlds supply and as the news writer's In Washing
ton say it is fortune that puts shame the wealth
of Midas. Crosses any other fabulous wealth in
the worlds history.
1t is impossible for the average person to Wis
ualize this tremendous heap OF precious metal The
thoughtless will regard 1t evidence of Americas
stupendous leadership in finance and yet its own
srship is not unmixed blessing 1t is partly be-
cause the United States owns third of the world 9
gold supply that business is dull and international
trade Frustrated.
Here is another illustration of the worthlessn
of money unless 1t is working. A miser may get
some sort Of satisfaction from draining his dollars
through his fingers, but boarded wealth has no
other value than the misers hideous mrth. Money
to be efficient must be in motion.
America would be infinitely better off from
trade standpoint If 1t had less than $500 900 in
gold. It has about all 1t get, more than it
wants 1t would prefer II through legitimate bust
ness transactions it could distribute 1t. That would
make factories hum and ships plough the deep. As
it is, it burdens rather than buoys business.

WHAT is TRUTH?

Most of us today can sympathize with the old
pagan PLATE, who asked. What is TRUTH"
Perhaps there were no professional propaganda
lists in Pilates time, there today but he had
heard many conflicting statements as to matter
that interested him and he sorely perplexed.
Professional propagandist1 in recent years have
befuddled the public as to a good many things of
more or less vital concern. Every newspaper office
is flooded with literature both pro and con, on a
variety of subjects.
Conflicting interests. contending forces, are at
work in all countries, and each side gives out its
own version Of affairs. The average man does not
know which is true. and perhaps he has not been
given the truth at ALL
Is 1t any wonder that as he finishes reading the
morning or evening paper he asks, like PLATE of old,
what is truth"
