THE MAN OF THE HOUR

The state compaign is over, and
the election also.
From the peoples decision there
is no doubt they wanted J. C..
lIack) Walton for governor. What
they decreed will have a iar-reach-
ing effect on the state and tre-
mendous responsibility rests upon
the governor elect
In a peculiar way opposition
against Walton was only an en-
dcayor to check radicalism, and
vas not a fight on the man. This
fight will continue should radical
ism gain impetus to the degree that
it becomes dangerous to the state,
but we do not believe that Govern
or Walton will lend aid to forces
that would destroy vital functioning
branches OF lawmaking in our state
legislative body.
In North Dakota it was lingering
radicalism that had the set purpose
OF socializing that state and Okla
homa democrats are not ready TO
trv all OF the experiments that the
shawnee platform demanded here.
That's why some OF Walton's sup
porters are to be disappointed.
As to the man OF the hour, J. c.
Walton, the honor and concerted
good will OF every citizen OF Carter
county could be with him, and will
be. we are sure. The material in
terests OF the state OF Oklahoma
viii be at stake and rise above or
iall down before the menace that
may confront them and it is hardly
probable that there can be any hall
way stopping point.
Under its new governor Oklaho-
ma will face untrodden paths and
he encroachment OF radicalism is
4 danger that may beset Governor
Walton's pathway, for without
question that element OF population
rode into the democratic party in
the primary campaign and will seek
TO dictate TO the end what Walton
shall do.
The test OF the man is soon at
hand.
PERSONALLY, we have confidence in
lack Walton. His promises to stand
upon the Shawnee platform have
heen carried out, but he is now free
20 protect the commonwealth
against the invasion OF radicalism.

Amcricanism and the approach OF

All this explains why it is so diff
ficult to enfirce prohibition. AS
soon as thing is prohibited
a crop OF lawbreakers springs up,
ready to take a chance at violating
the law for profit. This was true of
the Iron bootlegger' prior to l776.
1t is true Of the liquor bootlegger
today.
The greatest law-breaker, ethical
iy, is the customer who provides the
profit-the incentive.
On top OF all this is the peculiar
psychological fact that, as soon as

never thought OF committing the
prohibited act suddenly develop a
mischieyous craving to try it at
least once.

EPISCOPAL CHURCHES
WILL OBSERVE ADVENT
Season of Penitential and Devo-
tional Preparation Opens
Tomorrow.

Advent Sunday will be celebrated in
the Episcopal churches Of the city to-
morrow, which marks the first day Of
the church's new year.
The season of Advent runs from the
Sunday nearest St. Andrews day to
Christmas. and is time for peniten-
tial mad devotional preparation for the
celebration of the incarnation of the
Son of God on Christmas day.
No certainty exists as to when the
| Advent season was first observed.
: There is reference in canon of the
council of Sara gossa in the year A. -.
$50 which is thought by some to in
dicate the observance Of the season
a that time. Since the sixth century
, it has been generally recognized as
the beginning of the Christian year,
! and its observance has been taught
as directing the thoughts of Christ
mas. not only to the first coming of
Christ as Savior, but to his second
, coming as judge.
/ In olden times certain popular OBJ
/ servauces marked the Advent season.
| tries it was the custom Of poor wom-
! en- to carry around images. one
! dressed to represent Christ and the
other the Virgin Mary. coin was eX
pected from every one to whom these
! Were exhibited. In Normandy, the
farmers still light fires or have th.ir
/ children do SO, in fields and orchards
during Advent to bless the future
/ crops.
/ In the modern church. the Advent
season is not accompanied by the Gus
! toms practiced in earlier times.
: Nevertheless. there Is distinct ten
: dency toward introspectiou and PEN
! itence. and to devout churchmen Ad
! vent is to Christmas somewhat as the
| Lenten season is to Easter. While
! all the world is busy preparing for
! the secular festivities Of Christmas
/ with its JOY and generosity the
