The Oklahoma Situation.

Much has happened In Oklahoma
within the past few days which serves
to confuse the legal status ef the stu
alton created by Gov. Walton's refusal
to permit the legislature to inset in
extra session for the purpose of i'm.
peaching him. First, when the legis.
lators attempted to meet under the
cali Of a paper circulated by them
they were prevented by miIitiamen
stationed at the state capitol by the
governors orders for that purpose.
Then call was issued for state cleo
ton for referendum vote upon q
measure permitting the legislature to
meet on Its own initiative. The gov.
ernor opposed this. The court ruled in
favor of the special election. Then
conferences were held at which ap-
parently an agreement was effected to
suspend proceedings, and attorneys
for the governor withdrew the appli-
cation for a temporary injunction to
restrain the state election board from
entering the proposal on the ballot.
This seemed to prevent q conflict, but
shortly after the matter became again
complicated. The governor issued Q
proclamation prohibiting the holding
Of the election. and calling upon the
National Guard, volunteer militiamen
and secret service force. comprising,
1t is estimated, over 100000 men, to

Sunday in Germany.

Yesterdays affair at Dusseldorf ap-
pears to have been a four-sided con-
fiict. There were first the separatists.
then the communists, who are not in
accord with the separatists: next the
German state police opposing both OF
these, and finally the French. who
moved against the police and arrested
them, eventually restoring order. 1t
is possible that the French will be
blamed for having apparently taken
the side Of the separatists, but as
matter of fact they acted to check the
bloodshed. From Berlin comes
statement which accuses the separa.
lists of initiating the conflict. But the
French blame the police for starting
the trouble. The communists had re.
fused TO sign the call Of the separatist
organization for q public meeting. and
announced their intention to hold a
counter demonstration at the same
time and place. 1t is hinted in some
of the dispatches that the communists
really started the firing in order to
open the fight between the police and
the separatist assemblage.
While this tragedy was being enact.
ed at Duesseldorff a royalist demonstra.
tion was being sta ged at Munich. For
mer Crown Prince Rupprecht was
publicly hailed in the streets OF the,
Bavarian capital as king. He unveiled
memorial tablet to the dead of the
Bavarian royal guard. and though in
his address he avoided all political
references he was given royal honors.
Won kahr, who is now military dicta-
tor of Bavaria, was closely associated
with Rupprecht in the demonstration.
Today comes news that an uprising
has occurred at the city of Kuestrin,
In Brandenburg, about fifty miles east
Of Berlin. the center Of the copper
and brass industry. Details are meager.
1t is announced that the security po-
lice suppressed the disorder. But i'm
mediately comes word that Gessler,
who is acting as military chief of Ger
many. has ordered complete censor
ship on all military news. Thus it is i'm
possible to know just what is hap
pening.

Hard to Be Crouch
And Hate Mankind

1t isn't easy to be a pessim;s, ona
crouch and hater of manhird
IN this world. In fact, the task is so
hard that we sometimes wonder how
the few real specimens that we meet
ever managed to reach the full state
OF hard-boiled perfection.
OF course. we all have the impulse
sometimes. We see a fellow who
wades right through humanity to the
lunch counter, to be served ahead of
those who have stood patiently for
several minutes. Or road iaog''
tries to crowd us into the ditch. And
we determine right there to be as
thick crusted as any one who comes
our way. We draw down our brows,
assume a belligerent attitude and
start down the. street.
And then-ras like as not-the next
fellow with whom we come in con-
tact has so much Of whiteness In
him, SO much Of the milk of human
Kindness, that we are shamed out
of our new pose. We have to be
decent because he is decent. Our
new grown shell is of no avail
against him; in fact, 1t is a decided
Inconvenience. And we drop 1t for
the saner, truer. more optimistic out
look that fits our nature. &.
One such mental cycle will con-
vince any man that the world IL
fuller of desirable traits than 1t is
OF the undesirable, and that the
crouch IL an object to be pitied, but
not to be copied.--Mtlwaukee Journal.

enough to name it's own candidate.
This is in line with the recent private
conversations and open statements
Of other so-called progressives and
radicals OF the Senate.
But suppose for the moment that
the farmer-iabor party decides 1t will
put presidential nominee in the field
and seriously contest for the election
next year. Who is likely to be their
nominee and what would be his
chances?
None OF the recently elected mem.
hers of the Senate and House who
bear the stamp Of the farmer-labor
party is known nationally for his ac-
complishments or abilities. In con.
sidering the republican prqgressives
nationally known, to whom the farm.
er-labor party might offer the nomi.
nation, the mind naturally turns to
La Toilette Of Wisconsin. Johnson Of
California, Borah of Idaho. On the
democratic side of the fence there
seems to be none. In fact, the DEM
ocrats all proclaim themselves pro-
gressive workers In the interests Of
the farmers and labor, and hold that
the farmer-lahor movement should be
swallowed up in the democratic party.
Borah, La Toilette and Johnson,
however, have not indicated a willing
ness at this time to head third
party, or, in fact, to leave the ranks
of the old party which in their own
states has honored them so long.
The time before the election in 1924
is short to raise UP a candidate of
presidential timber, as the practical
workers among the farmer-laborites
must know. On the other hand, the
dlscontent which has brought about
SO much unrest in the agricultural
sections and caused the recent cleo
tions in Minnesota, for example, of
farmer-labor candidates for Congress,
may subside before 1928, and then
where would the third party pro.
ponents find themselves? One funda-
mental difficulty which the farmer
laborites must face is the fact that
down at the bottom the interests of
the producers of foodstuffs and of the
producers of clothes, agricultural i'm.
plements, etc, which the food pro-
ducers must buy, do not run along
together. There is always the dan
ger that one wing or the other of
the party may realize this fact.

keep the polls in the state closed. His
ground for this action was that the
court proceeding had prevented the
secretary of stste from complying
with the law which provides that the
question at issue shall be published in
newspapers in each county at least
five days before the election.
1t is difficult to know at this dis
tance and In the confusion Of reports
just how Gov. Walton stands with ref
erence to definite rulings of the state
court. II the court has decided that
the election may be held tomorrow.
and by the use OF force the governor

conflict may arise between him and
the judiciary, as has already arisen
between him and the members of the

1t would seem that the governor has
put himself in difficult If not impos-

purpose, and it proceeded to- an i'm

In his behalf that the legislature could

purposes. But in Oklahoma the legis-

There Is where the fatal blunder

with its dead reckoning of being

tion an hour apart and the use of the
ead-reckoned course as a base of
the triangle thus formed. II is an easy
problem of triangulation to discover
on shipboard the distance the ship
is running from the shore station.
Point Arguelle extends into the sea
as a cape and south of it the coast
recedes rapidly eastward. Assuming
that they were past the point (though
actually north of it) the direction of
sailing was then turned eastward,
but, being north of the point, that

land,
Dead reckoning is never reliable.

tors all assumed that their own dead
reckoning was accurate and that the
signals from shore were to be inter-
preted into Complementary degrees.
Each ship commander is person
ally responsible for the safety OF his
own ship, and he must ignore COM
mands from the fleet commander if
in his judgment they jeopardize his
safety. Yet not one of these COM
manders protested or questioned the
