a DIssERvIcE TO BETTER GOVERNMENT

In tho following editorial paragraph the
esteemed Muskogee Times Democrat renders a
most distinct disservlce to tho cause OF better
government;
Some newspapers in the state tried to
make sensational politics out Of the fact
that when n BHrtlesville bank failed II was
found 20 contain 10000 note signed by
a. N Loecrau, state treasurer. Now the
note has beer paid, ms everyone who knew
MIR. Leecrnft knew would be done, but we
do not hear anybody trying 10 rectlfy any
thing In the way OF scandal,
whether Treasurer Loecraft paid his note or
not has nothing whatever to do with the point
involved IN this transaction; at least very little
to do with g.
The point OF very grave moment Is that the
nero fact that the state treasurer went far

lives IN community whose banks boasts OF
their ability 70 finance the entire state, requires
an explanation which cannot be made in terms
satisfactory to tho public. Tho mere fact that
tho state official who holds tho disposition Of
millions Of dollars OF state funds subject 20
his own discretion, became borrower OF n
state bank far removed from him, affords jus
tflablo grounds for tho ugly suspicion that a
form OF durcss was used to secure the credit
and that the case directly In point was not ard

No amount OF partisan argument such as the
Times Democrat puts forward. budges that fact
This argument Is off precisely the same piece

CHAPTER XIV.
A Serious Quarrel-for Jack.

Jack Hunter was so taken aback
by Helen's action in borrowing from
Barnes that ne scarcely knew how
ems integrity for a moment, but, in
way, he knew men. A man of
Barnes type. a bachelor with
money, and his wife--it was incon-
ceivable that people wouldn't gossip,
II they had not already done so.
Helen blamed him for borrowing
because he did not earn enough to
pay her card debts. He had reasoned
with her about playing for money,
had refused to pay debts contract
ed In that way thinking 1t would
perhaps prevent her playing. The
only effect It had was to drive her
to borrow from Barnes
Helen's face had settled into hard,
determined lines when Jack deliv-
cred his ultimatum-that she should
no longer be friendly with Barnes.
After a moment OF pregnant silence
the storm burst:
"You sit there and say whom ]

home day after day with your hard
luck stories. deny me money to have
the simple pleasures all my women

was no doubt that Helen was angry
now. II shall have for friends

Jack threw a nickel and three
pennies on the table.

For instance Uncle Sam says the decision OF
the labor board cutting the wages OF railway

grew out of an attempt on the part

evidence was chiefly circumstantial,

showing the last three months OF 1921 and the

As the dark shadow rses--the lack OF sun
