INTO THE FUTURE

Europe, in the hands of cranky old men
continues running in circle. We live too
close to the situation to grasp what is
back of it. The perspective of time may
eventually show that Europe, right now

its civilization.
Will it pass like Rome, Babylon and the
empire of Genghis Khan? A century from
now the leading world powers will be

"A VOTE OF PROTEST

Electing new men ITO office is being
considered by many as vote Of protest
more than expressing choice. Call it
what you will, the people have made a
choice and this government of, for and
by the people is bound, sooner or later
to be governed by the people.
True enough, it was vote of protest
"a protest against the way legislation
was being "dished" out to the masses. No
one party seems to be able to satisfy all
of the people. It never will.
This nation is becoming to big, to be
run by any one one party. It seems to be
high time for all parties to have a word
in its affairs, because all parties are
deeply concerned. When we say all parties
We mean all rational thinking men and
women, be they Republicans, Democrats,
Socialists or what nots. Party lines are
badly shattered right now.
During the war and since, parties in
power have failed to make good, because
they have failed to make the most of the
wonderful opportunities presented to
them. Now it is up to men, regardless of
party affiliations-men and Women if
you please, who appreciate the need of
the country, and who will extend every
effort to satisfy that need.
Last election the people most empha-
tically voiced their sentiments of dis
satisfaction. They murdered Republicans,
Democrats, Socialists and Farm-Labor
candidates on the alter to propitiate the
gods. They considered not the party lines
because all party lines looked alike to the
dissatisfied voter. What they sought for
were men and women, whom they were
willing to take a chance as being able to
render better service than the present
office holders. Of course they do not know
whether the ones they have chosen to
serve them, will serve them better, but
they were willing to take chance.
If, after few years spent in service,
the people find their servants inefficient
INSCRIPTIONS and unfair, the masses will
again take the bull by the horns' and
vote them out of office, whether they be
Farm Labor, Socialists, Democrats or Re-
publicans. Regardless of who is elected to
serve, that person must consider first of
all the welfare of all of the people.
In this manner we will find leadership.
1T wont be long before we will unearth
some Moses, Lincoln or Llyod George to
lead us out of the Wilderness" if we
keep on seeking for the right man.
:. It takes organization and system to
properly govern the nation, and the right
kind of leadership to discipline such an
organization. At times, in fact for many
years, the Republican party had the right
kind of machine, and it was we'll man.
aged, but they surely overlooked "bet''
when they failed to deliver the goods
since that machine was put into power
two years ago. They have two years more
to produce the goods" and if they fail
we'll, if they fail, they must give up their
right of leadership.
The people may entirely abandon the
idea of affiliating with either of the lead

Boulder Avenue, Once Weedy,
BECOMES Seething Trade Lane

ness houses we're erected on Boulder
There were . few skeptlcs who
had never before witnessed the evo-
luton of a city from country VII
lage. and as usual they scoffed at
those who built these buildings. de-
claring they were foolhardy and
money wasters.
Tulsa has been built rapidly. 1t
Is only 10 or 12 years since the In
tensive development Of Boulder ave-
nue. was started. Today 1t takes its
place as one of Tulsa's principal
thoroughfares. lined on either side
with modern buildings that are a re-
sounding contraditlon to those skep-
tics Of earlier days.
From the Frisco tracks on the
north to Eighth on tho south, Boul-
der avenue is n business thorough
fare exclusively. North of the
Frisco tracks are homes and an oc-
casional business house. Between
the Frisco and the Katy tracks
stands Convention hall, built In what
are now considered Tulsas early
days, although in actual time that
has passed. those early days seems
but a few months ago.
Boulder avenue has a distinction
that cannot be claimed by any other
street In the city. II Is the home of
the federal byllding--the postoffice.
II is further distinguished in that Il
is also the home of the county court
house. And furthermore Il Is the
home OF the Elks club, the Tulsa
World. the general offices OF the
Oklahoma Union Railway. and other
public, semipublic and private In
stitutions OF considerable size and
Importance.
But Boulder avenue IL not content
with these distinctions TO the south
1t Is lined on east and west sides
with magnificent homes. soms OF
which are owned and occupied by
wealthy oil operators. Furthermore,
there are several churches Of In
spring architecture on Boulder.
A postoffice In itself is considered
an important Institution on any
thoroughfare or In any section of
city. For 1t is perhaps visited by
more persons In one day than any
other institution in any village, town
or city. To reach Tulsa's postoffice
from Main street one must cross
Boulder.
Strangers In Tulsa who arrive
over the Oklahoma Union Railway
comrany's interurban from Sapulpa
step off the car at Boulder. II is
the thoroughfare that first greets
Them. And Boulder avenue Is at
tractite enough to at once fill them
with admiration for the Wonder
City and cause them to want to see
more OF II. Furthermore those who
feave on the interurban must, cross
Boulder avenue when they go from
the, business district to the station.
Hundreds of persons visit THE
World office, daily, which increases
the pedestrian traffic on Boulder.
And the number of pedestrians
who pass along a thoroughfare de-
termines In great measure the
amount of business transacted on
that street. There is always a cer-
tain .proportlon that stop TO shop.

tive goods. and the counters are al
ways cleared for action. The cus~

days counting the number of per-

before locating its stores. It has

Boulder avenue Is the first street

II is secondary only to Main In a
business way. One of the newer
business streets, Boulder has taken
It's deserved place In business circles.

The business men along Boulder
avenue are courteous and fair. and
their places OF business are among
the cleanest and most efficiently OPP
Grated In the entire city. They ask
for only their share of the 7olty's
business, and they are giving
merchandise and service that is war
ranting and which will continue to
warrant this consideration.
Mayo Bros. Furniture Store.
one OF the largest and best furni-
ture stores in the entire southwest
may be found on Boulder avenue, II
Is owned and conducted by Mhyo
Bros, who have had many years OF
experience in conducting establish
ments and who carry line that ie
not surpassed anywhere.
This institution occupies ,ts own
home, the Petroleum building, which
is also owned by Mayor Bros, The
building is the last~word In archi-
lecture, and Is the second ten,story
building Mayo Bros. have built here.
The first Is at Fifth and Main. The
one occupied by the furniture store
Is located at Fifth and Boulder.
Mayo Bros. are among Tulsa ~
greatest boosters and builders. Not
content with erecting these two mag
nificent structures that will stand as
monument to their pride and con-
fidence In Tulsa, they have headed
movement to build 20-story hotel
building on Cheyenne. This Ia suf.

district west OF Main street, for the

of Boulder.
Backing this project is a bunch OF
progressive men like Mayo Bros.
who have faith In their ability to
carry out any project they under
take.
The Mayo, Furniture company oc-
cupied the Main street building until
a few months ago when the Petrol.
cum building was completed. Be-
lieving that Boulder avenue Ia one
OF Tulsa's principal business streets,
Mayo Bros. moved their store TO
Boulder several months ago. That
their belief In Boulder avenue was
justified is shown by their steadily
increasing business
