OKLAHOMA EXHIBITION

One j. c. Walton-by way of the
primary-came to the governorship
of Oklahoma amid applause follow ed
by barbecue. He leaves-by way
of impeachment-barb amid APP
plause.
1t would appear that Oklahomans
have greater capacity for applause
than for discernment in choice of
leaders.
1t might logically be expected that
such temperament among the ma
jority, so susceptible to the Clap
trap manifestly employed to elect
this governor, would be susceptible
in other ways. Indeed there are
grounds for suspecting that foolish
ness is contagious. Anyhow some in
that State caught the Ku klux fever
and had violent attack of it.
1t goes without the saying that
Oklahoma needs stablizing. Further
more we think few will dispute that
there are other places than Okla
homa also in need of stablizing; in
need Of leadership that keeps its
feet on the ground but is not I'M
mindful of that which should be
suggested by the stars overhead,
contacts greatly needed when there
is chaos on the limited horizon.
The processes which Oklahoma is
now undergoing should prove
stabiliZing. 1t is unthinkabe that a
body of men comprising a whole
legislature would be utterly lost to
sense of fairness and impeach with
out any ground for such action. We
regard Walton's withdrawal from
the trial as the desperate move of an
adventurer, though probably sus-
tanned by some grounds of complaint
about unfairness.
Oklahoma is likely to regret the
conditions which brought about this
lamentable condition on things. 1t
best not forget the fatuous folly
which led them into it i'm the first
place. Stable, decent government
can't subsist on that kind of folly.
A people which are but the tools of
demagogues cannot suitably govern
themselves. This need is on exhibit
ton in Oklahoma. Other COM
munities will do we'll to consider it,.

Above All Others
my, RfAn pAcfl

President Gompers. Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, voices the
contentment of the workers OF Amer
lea when he says 1.-The United States
stands head and shoulders above
every other nation in the world in
point of average human happiness
and human well-being." That such
has all along been the sense of
American labor is evidenced by its
repeated rejection of bids by COM
munism and other disturbing "isms'
for support. Manifestly the workers
lave realized that it Is the part of
wisdom to hold steadfastly to in
stitutions under which they have
prospered. to stand by principles
that have made for their bettermeut,
rather than run after strange doc
trines promising impossibilities and
inviting destruction.
AS the workers are, so is the ma
ton, content with the blessings of
liberty, peace and prosperity.

AT THE CONFERENCE TABLES

Having. through invention and pill
ing up of resources. come to the place
where 1T can readily destroy itself,
mankind should take enough time off
to consider whether it really is about
to do this. That question is at the
elbow of every delegate in those
European conferences. and at the
other elbow sits the question: how
much dare we grab?
These come hidden or unbidden; it
makes no difference what the regula-
tons or the secrecy may be.
Isn't there room for another; the
question of right?
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-11-21

How many of us would put load
ed gun into the hands Of drunken
galoot to enable him to shoot up the
place?
How many of us are going to
tolerate the mere inning of such per-
sons driving automobiles. which are
an even greater menace than would
be the gun?
Shouldn't we resolve and make
known the resolve to leave no stone
unturned to compel adequate treat
ment of drunken and reckless auto
mobile drivers?
We think the authorities in this
part of the State are aware of this
great need and disposed to do what
they may to meet it. They should be
supported. II rigor comes too near
home to be enjoyed, grin and bear
it SO long as they, do their duty.
No drunken or reckless individual
Is fitted to drive motor vehicles in
ways that are travelled. They
should not be permitted to do so.
When they are proven to be unfit
the license should be denied them.
This license to drive is no right of
theirs, only a privilege to be used
but not to be abused and abuse of
1t should not be tolerated.
All know that drastic sentences to
Jail will cool their ardor, and that
nothing short of that will do SO.
knowing this those who assume the
responsibility of insisting on less
also assume responsibility for the
havoc these parties do. Place that
responsibility on them and see that
it sticks-and back them to the limit.
Don't expect them to show favors to
you and to no one else.
In the year 1922 only one per cent
Of the drunken drivers received Jail
sentences and those averaged about
Is days.
This week there was dedicated in
st. Louis a monument in the prin-
cipal business thoroughfare and this
bears the following inscription: I'm
memory Of child life, sacrificed on
the altar of recklessness."
These are but straws. However
they indicate a rising wind and the
way it's blowing.
