Sentiment for a Labor
Party Growing in Kas,
BY HUGO oEHLER.
(Worker Correspondent

PARSONS, Kan, June 20. The
farmers and workers near Parsons
have been getting such rotten deals by
the two old parties that there has de-
veloped a sentiment for independent
political action that is growing every
day. Parsons has the Katy shops
that in the past have had bitter strug-
giles in the strikes, but at present are
dormant, due to the grip that the
bosses hold. The Tax Payers League
of Parsons that has been putting can
didates in the field has not met with
the approval of the progressive ele-
ment.
Before the war Parsons was quite
center for socialism, but altho the
movement has died down there is a
good number who have changed with
the post war conditions and are awake
again.

When Is a Governor
Not a Governor? the
Oklahoma Question
BY J. NJ. S.
2 tWorker Correspondent

1tWorker CorrespondenC
MUSKOGEE, Okla, June 2S.-When
is governor not governor? This
question is now disturbing, more or
less, the minds of Oklahoma citizens.
According to the Oklahoma consti-
tuition, governor may not become
a candidate to succeed himself.
When Governor ]. C. Walton made
himself obnoxious to the ku klux khan,
he was not removed from office in
any ordinary way, but was charged
with number of crimes and was
served with a writ Of injunction, for
bidding him to in any way act as, or
pretend to be, governor until the
charges against him have been ad-
justed, and Northumberland M. E.
Trap was ordered to take UP the
duties Of governor.
For all of a year after Trapp as
sumed the duties and emoluments of
office, he signed all official documents
as governor" Recently he has signed
documents as acting governor" And
he has filed as candidate for gov
ernor.
For all of a year after Walton was
ousted, courts and legal authorities
insisted that the injunction had all
the force of an impeachment and that
Oklahoma had no governor. Now they
insist with equal vehemence that Wal
ton is governor and therefore has no
right to file for that Office at this
time. -1U1a ~3
To an observer 1T appears that the
ordinary capitalist democratic rules
have been suspended and that Okla
homa is being governed by injunc-
tion. alessE

WASHINGToN.-(FP)--Three local

Even WHALE OIL
PRODUCTION NOW
RUN BY MACHINE
Melville Wouldn't Rec
ognize His Job

NEW YORK CITY, June 23.-Her-
man Melville, the author of uncom-
mon genius whose "Moby Dick" con-
tributed more to the knowledge of
whales than even the scriptural pass
age about Jonah, would be rather sur
prised to see the more modern whaler
with her machine system of doing
about everything Melville's day did
differently. It's whale Of a change.
This modernization Of the ancient
pursuit of whale oil can be observed
on the Norwegian whaler Maudie,
which has arrived with cargo of oil
at Staten Island after thirteen months
at sea. The cargo is worth $3.50, 900,
and there are $4,000 barrels of it,
taken from 41S whales.
Chief Officer Aronsen told how the
whales were taken.
1--WE have three small boats, he
said. "They are about the size of
North River tugboats. Each carries
several mortars. When the whale is in
range harpoon is fired from one of
these. At the head of the harpoon is
an iron granada which explodes when
1t strikes the whale. To the harpoon
is attached 500 fathoms of seven-inch
manila line.
Air Pump and Pressure Extractors.
Il have often seen a whale take out
all OF this. When the whale is finally
killed we pump him full Of air and put
flag in him. Then we turn him adrift
and go after the next. The flag is to
distinguish the whale from those
taken by other vessels.
when the whale is finally brought
to the Maudie he is attached forward
by iron cables. Then the blubber is
cut OFF him and hauled out into the
forward oil extractor where the oil
is boiled out. The meat and bones are
hauled aft and cut up. They are boiled
out in the after extractors, which
operate under pressure"

What About Duke?
Simmons saved to the $4,000, 900

and hydro-electric king, the payment
of $6,OOO,OOO Of estate taxes to the fed

democratic side of the chamber for
the retroactive repeal of estates tax
alton. Former Sen. McCumber of
North Dakota and former Rep. Mon
dell of Wyoming, lobbying chiefly for
Montana, saved that estate $4,000 900.
But now, in the crisis of farm relief
