Ancient Whipping Tree
Still Doing Service

Okniulgee. Okla, Oct. 10 (AP)-
The ancient whipping tree and the
old capitol of vanished Indian ma
ton still are doing service In this
city.
In the heart of Okmulgee stands
the council house of the Creek ma
ton, erected in 1878. The Y. NJ. C.
A. and the Chamber of Commerce
have their headquarters in the
building, and q bus line uses one
corner for an office.
The building and its grounds &C.
eupy a block in the center of the
business district. Among the
numerous trees on the grounds are
two where the executions and the
legal whippings took place.
The Creeks had no jails. They had
only two methods of punishment
whipping and shooting. The punish
ment for robbery, for instance, was
80 lashes for the first offense, 100
iashes for the second, and death for
the third. In cases of execution. the
condemned Indian was tied to the
tree and shot. Damage suits were
settled in cash, work or so lashes on
the bare back.
The council house is a two-storv
building of native sandstone. On the
fir2t floor were the departments. OF
government, on the second the legis-
lative halls.
Inc Creeks were one of the five
civilized tribes moved by tho govern
ment from the southeastern part of
the United States to this territory
about 1880. They established here
a complete system of government,
similar to the American republic,
but with much simpler forms.
Their legislature was composed of
the House of Kings (Senate) and
the House of Warriors. The head of
the state was the principal cliier.

Woman Surveyor Says
London Homes Portray
Victorian Ugliness

London, Sept. 20 CA. p. by MaiD-
In the eyes Of Miss Irene T. Martin,
the only woman surveyor in Eng
land, the greater part of London is
composed of "atrocious homes and
buildings" put up by Victorian
architects. She sees but little i'm
provement on the "old Victorian
ugliness' in London's suburbs.
II wonder sometimes how people,
particularly at night, find their re-
spective homes" she said in an adj
dress before the Soroptimist Club,
there are SO many. many miles of
houses in London, Manchester.
Liverpool, and other English cities
that are exactly alike.
when one sees the wretched lit
tie villas they are putting up in the
suburbs, with narrow windows,
imitation pillars and pompous lych
gates. one begins to realize that we
are making but little Improvement
on the old Victorian ugliness."

Editors Table

THE Children's Bible" selections
from the Old and New Testaments,
translated and arranged by Harry A.
Sherman, head of the department of
religious literature of Charles
Scribners Sons, and Charles Foster
Kent, Woolsey professor of Biblical
literature in Yale University.
Increasing children's interest In
the Bible is an easy proposition for
parents who employ this book as the
means for it is a volume that com
pels the close attention of boys and
girls between the ages of eight and
eighteen years. The young folks will
be delighted TO find this book on
their home study desks and reading
fables for in simple English it brings
to them the stories and songs of the
Old and New Testaments.
In communication OF this book,
Henry. Van Dyke asserted: II have
not read it all through. but 1 have
studied carefully certain passag es of
importance-the creation of man. the
coming of Christ, His victory on the
Cross, the promise of Heaven-and
in these / find the true teachings OF

In order that the child may
gradually learn the meaning of new
words and idioms, the stories are
not told in words of one SYLLABLE,
but the text may be easily under
stood by the younger children to
whom it is read. Adults. also. will
enjoy reading these selections.
The following incident shows the
appeal that this volume makes with
the younger generation. One little
girl was having bird book read to
her at the time "The Children's
Bible" was brought in. She rather
doubtfully allowed the Bible stories
to be substituted for thes evening
chapter Of the bird book. And in a
few moments she was deeply engros-
sed and now looks forward to her
pages from THE Children's Bible"
each evening as a. pleasure indeed.

MEXICO FOR MExicANs

Mexicans seem to be somewhat
disturbed between two desires; one
for American capital to use in the
development of their resources and
another to retain Mexico for the
Mexicans. Right now they appear
inclined to do what they consider
helpful to the latter, perhaps trust
ing to the future to provide ways
and means.
They are considering a proposed
new law based on the suspected Ar
ticle 81 of the Constitution concern
ing which there long has been a diff
ference between the American view
point and the professed viewpoint OF
the Mexicans. The former see in 1t
retroactive effect that will rob
American investors in Mexican en-
terprise. The proposed law. which
after three years would necessitate
the holding of a majority of the
shares Of stock Of any corporation by
Mexicans, and where the corporation
Is within so miles of the international
boundary or Is miles of the seacoast
the stockholders shall all be Next
cans, would upset great enterprises
and place American stockholders at
the mercy of the Mexicans, to whom
they would be compelled to sell their
holdings.
The Mexicans on their side con-
tend their country in this respect is
taking a no more extreme measure
than Americans took with the Vol
stead law. The leader Of the agra
rians is telling them that the oil and
mining interests will own an entire
state in that country unless checked
and that then will happen what hap
pened to Texas. That sort Of talk is
calculated to prejudice and doubtless
will. 1t suggests keeping Americans
out rather than inviting them and in
teresting them in Mexico as coun-
try to respect. Is it inconceivable
that one may not invest money in
Mexico without seeking to turn it
over to the United States? 1t seems
difficult for Mexicans to- entertain
such an idea.
Bu- that country needs American
money for development; already it. is
indebted to American enterprise for
no little of it's advancement. 1t will
be impossible for that country to
isolate itself and insofar as it
may be able to do so to such degree
it will hamper it's best interests.
The effort to do this is based more on
politics and prejudice than on any
far-seeing craftsmanship.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE

There were insuperable difficulties
with which the Washington Confer
ence to limit armament had to con-
tend. Among these were Frances
fear of invasion and unwillingness
to limit land forces or do away with
submarines. Much was accomplished
in the limitation of naval power, in
concluding the alliance between Eng
land and Japan, in the assurance
which this country gave to the world
of its desire for peace and its re-
solve not to seek territory or power
by aggression. Much remained to be
done to put the world in the way OF
looking to international tribunals of
justice for the settlement of its con-
troversies. 1t was, however, dem
onstrated that such conferences
couId successfully be used to set
bound to the expense of armament.
Since then the hope has been en-
tertained in this country that the
way to further conference might be
opened. 1t has been made plain to
the countries involved that America
is ready for further conference when
the time is ripe for it. Such an oc-
casion now seems near at hand, II
the results of the Locarno confer
ence bear out the expectations. After
the adoption of the Dawes plan the
League Of Nations attempted to have
a limitation conference under its
auspices but nothing tangible came
of it. The impression now is that
Europe recognizes the desirability of
America taking the lead in this and
will soon respond to the desire for
another conference.
AT present the attitude of France
may prove the fly in the amber. She
yet has war on her hands in Mo-
rocco the settlement of which this
year is doubtful.
She also is undergoing reaction
from the failure of the Caillaux wiz
ardy to get for her all the debt con-
cession she wanted. She may not take
kindly to a conference in the near
future but will hesitate to pus her
self in the light Of opposing limita-
