,i.L.CoNsIDERED ACTION.

The resolution adopted by tho American
terion convention at New orleans, demanding
the dismissal of General Sawyer. and the execu-
ton OF the carefully stage managed incident re-
sulting ia the kissing OF the presidents name,
were both exceedingly unfortunate-for the
legion. For the legion needed most OF all to
redeem ITSELF from previous mistakes instead
Of making new ones

The legion men may have substantial reasons

JIM HEPBURN.

Most everybody In tho state remembers Jim
Hepburn few months ago. after years Of
trfllng with tho laws Of the state, after public
opinion had tired Of expecting local law en-
forcors TO do their duty after the statohouse
gang successfully dofcd every law, every con.

tho state Jim Niepburn electrified oklahoma
by challenging the Robertson-Dennls clique

ono OF its members set aside tho finding of "a
grand jury.
For weeks the namo OF Hepburn was on every
tongue and there those who wanted TO

Jim Hepburn ought to be supported by every
man and woman Of tho TwCDty-sccond district
who seek an honest enforcement OF tho law. who
believe In honesty and efficiency In the public
service. and who feel that those who having
been honored by the people deserve severe pun
ishment when they betray the trust imposed In

The Negro In Politics,

Editor World: w c. Carrick, writing under
the>caption, THE Promises OF Walton" in the
column OF the Barometer Of Public opinion, OF
very recent issue of your paper assais the
negro because he imasnes that the negro de-
sires Social equality" with the whites. Using
the term social equality in the sense that
think Mr. Carrick intended 1t, permit mo 20 say
that he Jumps to a conclusion not justified by
the actual facts. Nothing could possibly be
farther from the true situation than such con-
clus!on There is absolutely no desire In the
breast or the sensible negro for this social
equality" The discussion certainly has no place
in politics. Every negro with a thimbleful OF
common horse sense knows that the whites
are unit on the question of Social equality"
and that without regard to party or politics.
They are all like Mir. Fields, the candidate for
governor on the republican ticket and they
all agree with him when he says, mo
stands stiffer for white supremacy than / do"
In this connection, | have advisediy quoted Mr.
Fields because 1t shows that the good white
people OF America confound the term social
equality" with the term white supremacy"
They think that where one exist the other cam
not. And am inclined to think that they are
right IL they construe social equality" TO mean
a mixing OF tho races by nter-marrying. In
such case there Would be no white supremacy
state OF affairs Is just as unthinkable TO the
thinking negro as TO the thinking white man.
The thinking negro Is Just as much concerned
about how he can maintain his own racial iden-
tity as Is the white man who thinks But in
this very fact is where all the trouble arises.
Until recently, the white statesman and the
thinking negro have been separated by a great
chasm OF race prejudice, scooped out by the
politician Until recently, white statesmen have
been very reluctant in trying to bridge this
chasm for reasons obvious.
Now, II is not social equality" for which
the negro clammers, but II Is for social Jus
uce." Can he get 1t? The great nter-racial
commission founded by that matchess south
ern white gentleman. Mr. Alexander, thinks he
can. When Mr.. Carnegie gave his money for
the establishment OF a public library at Okla
homa City and elsewhere, II was given for the
establishment OF q library for all the people
whose taxes went TO support the same The
negroes OF Oklahoma City had as their objective
not the forcing OF themselves upon the white

from the first moment Of his candidacy to

posing a ruthless coalition formed between the
laUless elements OF the state and the radicals
who Geek TO set up gigantic patornastic ma
chine that would destroy completely tho con-
stitutloua structure.
It Is folly for those who want to preserve
constitutional government TO view the contest
through eyes OF parusouism, Let all such be
assured that the various elements supporting
