RemOnstrance Meetings

Crisis
By LINCOLN QARBERG.
United Press staff Correspondent.

OKLAHOMA CITY, October L.
One hundred thousand men, accord
ing to Governor j. c. Walton s cal-
culations, took up arms in Oklaho-
ma today to carry out the execu-
tive's orders that there should be
no special election in the state
tomorrow.
At the election officially called
and then banned by the governor,
voters were TO cast their ballots
on an initiated law providing that
the legislature might convene it
self without an official summons
from the governor. Walton declar-
ed his enemies, made by his militar-
istic fight against the Ku Klux
Klan, agitated the proposed law.
George F. Short, state attorney
general; w. G.. McAllister, secreta-
ry of fhe state election board, and
other officials joined in saying the
election would be held, in ordering
ballots printed and making other
arrangements to keep the polls
open.
Printing presses throughout the
state were masking 70 turn out bal
lots for the election.
100000 to Stop Election
The governor said his armed
force to prevent the polls from
opening included: ,2.s
The entire Oklahoma nation
al guard of 1000 men now or
iered mobilized.
A volunteer army of $4,000
men.
The governors special corps
Of secret operatives which he
said was composed of $4,000.
The governor said that while the
militia would not be used to keep
the polls closed it would be held in
readiness in case any rioting devel-
oped. His special police will be
stationed at doors of the polls.
Under direction of insurgent leg
islators who seek to impeach the
governor for his alleged abuse OF
power in his fight against the in
visible empire, mass meetings were
in progress throughout the state
today. Speakers were sent into
nearly every county by w. d. Me
Bee, Legislative leader. They urged
the people to vote in defiance of
the governor.
Blames Newspapers
County Officers, including She
riffs, have been instructed by the
election commission, TO do their
duty and go ahead with the elee-
tion according to law" MsAilister
said.
At the same time Governor Wal
ton ordered every county sheriff to
paddock the polls and warned elec
tion officials against attempting to
hold the referendum.
"There may be Hoodshed, al
though | dread to say it, Govern
or Walton stated, "but there will
be no election.
II there is bloodshed it can be
placed at the door of newspapers
which have caused this trouble. If
the Muskogee Phoenix, the Oklaho-

WHY BUSES LIKE THE TROLLEY

The Allied Bus Association, as the organization of state bus
$ owners is called, is sending out a lot of propaganda through ls
biob-nrieed attorneys, trying to influence the public in favor OF a
return TO the situation as it existed before the trolley strike, as
far as street transportation is concerned. OF course, the bus own
= were satisfied with the old order of things. Why should they
not be- They had everything their own way, with the public
providing everything for them. All they had to do was to buy
a bus and hire a chauffeur.
The buses want the troneys to run again under the old ar
rangement. They realize, doubtless, that winter is coming with
its heavy SHOWS. and the buses need the trolley plows and sweep
es to keep the track open so that they can continue in competition
Of course, on the main highways where there are no trolleys the
city or county officials clear the roads of snow. No one ever heard
Of the bus owners getting out any sweepers or snow plows.
Then, too, pavements in some places are bad and these bad
spots are found mainly along the trolley tracks where the trolley
company is responsible for keeping the pavement in good condi
ton. The buses want these pavement repaired SO that the wear
and tear on their buses will not be SO great. But no one ever
heard Of a bus owner doing any street paving at his own expense
The bus owners want the troneys to continue in operation as
before in spite of the fact that the trolleys were losing money, be-
cause they know that each municipality through which the trolley
operates receives a large contribution every year in the way of a
franchise tax. The bus owners are now trying to say that their
permit to operate, when it has no specified time limit, is the same
as a franchise-that is, it is the same as a franchise when there
is talk of disseminating the buses, but it is anything but a franchise
when it comes to taxing it as such.
Now. the wise attorneys for the bus owners know that If the
trolley goes out of business entirely and buses are substituted, the
bic will Mss the money derived from the troHeys IN the way
Of a franchise tax, and it is likely that an effort would be made to
put this tax on the buses. Therefore, it is decidedly to the advan-
tage of the bus owners that the trolley company resume operation
under old conditions, paving the streets, keeping the roads clear
of snow, paying the franchise tax, and all that. The buses are
collecting the fares at comparatively little expense to themselves
so wbv should they worry as long as the trolley carries all the
burdens?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

@. Is compressed air more bouy-
ant than ordinary air?-F. H. w.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
that compressed air in diving suits.
submarines, etc. is hat it keeps the
water from leaking in, and permits
a lighter construction of the con
tainer.
@. Does a light colored cigar
wrapper indicate a mild cigar?-L.
lC. B.
A. The tobacco used in wrapping
a cigar does not disclose its internal
makeup.
Q. What is the number of women
in the United States belonging to
federated women's clubs IF. M. j.
A. The latest published member
ship of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs is 100000.
@. What makes mercury break
Into drops or pieces ?-S. B.
A. Mercury being a liquid has
surface tension. 1t also adheres to
very few substances. This surface
tension, the same thing that makes
raindrops round, tries to make the
mass of mercury form itself into as
small a shape as possible and causes
1t to break up into a quantity of
semi-spherical and oval masses.
Water or any liquid would do the
same If they did not adhere to sub
stances.
@. Is it necessary for a COW to
have a calf each year in order to
give the best milk ?-I. NJ.
A. The chief factors on which
the propagation of milk depends are,
maternity, or the period of lacta-
ton; the capacity of the COW, which
is largely determined by her breed,
J heredity, etc. Cows often secrete
milk continuously for two, three or
four years without producing a calf,
but on the other hand the birth of
calves erves to stimulate the secre-
ton of milk. Authorities on the sub
ject agree. that the best results are
obtained when the COW produces a
calf at regular intervals each year
@. Is there any race of people
which is immune to tuberculosis p
H. r. B. :.
A. The Public Health Service says
that there is no race nor tribe of
people known who are not subject to
tuberculosis. In some parts of the
world, due to climatic conditions and
the occupation of the people, tuber-
culosis is very rare.
@. When and how did last names
originate ?-L. G.
A. Surnames originated in var
ious ways. Originally individuals
were only known by their Christian
names when certain distinguished
names began to be added. Some sur
names are descriptive of the place of
residence of some ancestor; others
refer to some popularity either in
character or dress. Surnames were
legally recognized in England by the
Statute of Additions, passed during
the reign of Henry V-13S7-1422.
Q. What will remove rust from
skates Pm. r. H.
A. To remove rust from skates,
rub them with a piece of emery pa
per that has been dipped in turpen-
tine. Polish well with a fresh piece
of emery paper.
@. How do the officers in the
Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cor
respond in rank?-J. j. p.
A. The Army and Marine Corps
officers are the same and compare
with the Navy as follows: General
Admiralty Lieutenant-General -
Vice Admiral; Major General-Rear
Admiral; Brigadier General Com
modore; Colonel-Captain; Lieuten-
ant Colonel-Commander; Major
Lieutenant Commanders; Captain -
Lieutenant; First Lieutenant-Lieu-

CANYON DIABLO

AT some unknown time in the past, the largest meteor that
ever struck the earth fell in Coconino county, Arizona. It
buried itself, making a crater nearly a mile across and 600 feet
deep, with a rim of earth splashed up 10 feet high all around
the crater's edge.
This crater is Canyon Diablo.
Mining engineers once more are attempting to locate the
huge meteor which lies buried somewhere under the floor OF
the canyon.
The Canyon Dablo meteor, according to scientists, weighs
a million tons and is at least 300 feet in diameter. Some
experts even multiply these figures by four.
If the meteor runs true to form, it, is nine-tenths pure iron.
But the lure that induces the mining engineers to attempt to
unearth the Canyon Dablo meteor is that it probably con-
tains huge diamonds.
Our old earth, rushing through space alta speed Of $4,000
miles an hour, must have staggered when struck by the Can
yon Diablo bullet. A legend of the Navajo Indians says
there were three meteors, not one.
Meteors travel through space in swarms. Twenty mil
lion of them, large enough to be seen by the naked eye,
shoot into our atmosphere every day-and usually are dis
solved by friction with the air before they strike the earth.
The largest meteor C'shooting starry ever discovered
weighs 36 tons and was brought from Greenland by Peary.
So scientists are on tp-toes for a look at the giant beneath
Canyon Diablo.
Real education does not begin until we study astronomy.

PERTH AMBoY's LAST CALL

Perth Amboy still is far short of her quota for the Japanese
relief. 1t would seem as if a city of this size ought to be able to
raise $500 for such a humanitarian cause as this. While not all
of the cities to which quotas were assigned have raised the desired
amount, a great many of them have raised more than they were
asked to give. New York, for instance, where the quota was
10000 600 subscribed that sum the first day, and they more
than doubled the amount within a short time.
Largely because so many cities exceeded their quotas, the full
amount desired by the National Red Cross has been raised. When
this became known the subscriptions elsewhere fell off, the people
feeling, nc doubt, that there was no more need for giving. This is
a mistake. Never in the worlds history has there been such
devastation and loss of life as befell Japan in this earthquake
horror. All the money that can be raised can be used to good
advantage; besides, it is a question of ones own conscience and
humanitarian feelings, 1t ought to make no difference what any
one else has given, has each individual squared his own conscience
in regard to the matter?
Then, for the sake of the reputation of Perth Amboy, it is de-
sirable that the quota be raised. Iii S fine to have it said that when
an emergency arises, Perth Amboy is one of those cities that can
be depended upon to do its full part. We all can hold our heads
higher, and we think better of the place when we are conscious
of such achievement.
With Perth Amboy's quota for the japanese relief about half
raised, why not every family that has not given a dollar, and that
cares anything at all about the city, make a contribution at once
SO a to put Perth Amboy across. There are lots of people here
who. TO hear them talk, would fight at the drop of the hat over
the reputation and good name of the city, yet when they are asked
TO give only a dollar that Perth Amboy may make good in the
eyes Of her sister cities, they are not heard from. They are LOUD
ia talk but mighty slow when it comes to doing something

THE OPENING GUN FIRED
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Republican National Convention will
be a Wadsworth delegation. That
does not sound much like a mora
torium!
First Primary In March
Politicians who expect to have
something to do with nominating the
next candidate for President are not
unmindful of the fact that they have
less than six months in which to get
busy for the first of the presidential
primaries will come in March and
there is much to be done in an or
%ganization way preliminary to that.
South Dakota is the State where
the first skirmish in the battle of the
ballots will take place, and the date
there as fixed by law is the third
Tuesday in March. State proposal
meetings will be held in December
at which, it will be decided what cam
didates for President, and for State
offices as we'll, win have their names
on the primary ballot. This applies,
OF course, TO all political parties.
At the South Dakota primary cleo
ton held March %, 1920. the fol-
lowing Republican candidates for
President were on the official bal
lot and received the votes Indicated:
Miles P~oindexter, Liza; Hiram John
son, 26,301. Frank O. Lowden, &c.
9S1: Leonard Wood, 1926.
Those figures give the political
dopesters something to work on as
they do their 1924 predicting. Cen
eral Wood, who carried the State in
1920, is not even mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for mex year, so it is
important to know who is likely to
fall heir to his strength. johnson and
Lowden ran an almost neck and neck
race and they were not many lengths
behind Wood. johnson, as we'll as
Lowden is almost certain to be a
candidate in the impending CAM
paign, and it is also practically as
sured hat Senator LaFollette will
make the ace and that his name will
be on the South Dakota ballot.
1t is also to be remembered that
South Dakota Republicans were the
first in 1920 to endorse Calvin Cool
idge for Vice-President.
This suggests the possibility that
they may decide that they want to
be the first to line up for Coolidge
for President in 1924. There is ad-
mittedly a considerable Coolidge SEN
timent in the State and there is al
ways the bandwagon tendency with
which to reckon.
Can President Coolidge corral the
Wood vote of 1920? Can he make a
stronger bid than LaFollette for the
votes hat went to Hiram johnson?
Can Lowden hold his W and gather
in some of the Wood strength? Could
former Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,
who is a close neighbor of South Da-
kota Republicans and who is talked
of as a presidential candidate, make
"a formidable showing if he attempt
ed an invasion of the state?
Such are some of the interesting
questions in connection with pros
poets and probabilities in the first
primary State, and they will be much
discussed despite the suggestion that
there be a presidential talk morator-
ium.
