Father Joseph Husselein, of
the Catholic Church, is the
author of a recent book on
Work, Wealth and Wages. I
would recommend the same as
a text book to the "Open Shop"
division of the Chamber of
Commerce, and particularly
those of its members who are
leaders in church work. The
opening paragraph is the key-
note of the book:
Man is a human being,
made to the image and like-
ness of God, and destined
lor higher things than mere-
ly the amassing of personal
wealth or the enrichment
of a capitalistic employer.
This truth is fundamental
in all Christian sociology.
The immediate purpose? of
industry is not the accumu-
lation of profits, as men in
practice believed during the
era of industrialism that
followed upon the decadence
of the medieval guilds, but
the provision of a decent
livelihood for all engaged in
the noble work of produc-
tion for the common good.
It is not to enable a few to
live luxuriously and to cum-
ber the earth with their
palaces and villas, but to
enable all that deserve it to
enjoy the fruits of faithful
toil. Rudimentary as this
truth is, the world has
failed to grasp it.
* * *
The Attorney General of the
state, Prince Freeling, has re-
signed. As a part of his duties
as attorney general he had to
appear for the state in the
Oklahoma-Texas boundary dis-
pute involving valuable oil
lands, but as attorney general
his salary was limited to $4,000
per year.
Through the simple expe-
dient of resigning his office, the
state re-employs him as a
special attorney to handle the
boundary dispute cases for
SI 5,000.
It is a nice way to increase
salary in a constitutional man-
ner, to make room for another
lawyer to fill the $-1,000 office,
who announces at once that he
will be ;ycandidate for attor-
ney general at the next elec-
tion. During the last session
of the legislature it was charg-
ed that this same man, while
on the payroll of the state, and
who now is the attorney gen-
eral of the state, was in the
employ of the Dierks lumber
interests of Kansas City, who
control nearly the entire tim-
ber supply of the state.
* * *
At about the same time
Farmer-Labor is to hold its
nommating convention at
Shawnee, a meeting is to be
held in Chicago to make pos-
sible the federation of the la-
bor unions and the various
farmer organizations, the So-
cialist party, the Nonpartisan
league, the Committee Of 48,
and other organizations of a
like character, on a national
scale.
It appears to be the inten-
tion to permit each of these
organizations to maintain its'
own organization, and to not
form a new political party, at
least for the present. The
main thing that is to be ac-
complished is to prevent the
scattering of the progressive
vote through agreements that
will bring about the nomina-
tion of candidates acceptable
to these groups. This means
that each state will make nom-
inations on the dominant party
ticket.
This may not suit those who
desire to work through inde-
pendent parties. But this
should not prove a stumbling
block. All differences of opin-
ion as to methods and tactics
should be submerged in the
one idea to bring about unity
of action on the political field
between the labor and farmer
groups.
* • *
Once that unity of action is
secured, ways and means will
l>e found that will be best suit-
ed for the attainments of the
results desired. Labor and
Farmer will cease being repub-
licans, democrats, socialists, or
what not. For the present
they will become nonpartisan,
expressing together, not their
political views or prejudices,
Young Lawyer More Accepta-
ble to Politicians—Wom-
en Opposed Freeling.
George F. Short, assistant attor-
ney general, who was named for at-
torney general Tuesday to succeed
S. Prince Freeling, who resigned to
handle the Red river cases, will take
office at once, it was announced
Wednesday.
Creeling, in his resignation, de-
clared that he could not give proper
attention to the duties of his office
and the boundary litigation between
Texas and Oklahoma, at the same
time.
He is to receive a fee of $15,000
from the land commission for his
scrvice. although it was suggested
that he receive $50,000, it is ru-
mored. Freeling has devoted much
attention to the Red river case. The
formal resignation reads in part:
Politically Significant!
"You are perfectly familiar with
the conditions which, in my judg-
ment makes this step imperative.
The boundary case, involving vast
territory, and the jurisdiction and
sovereignty of our great state, de-
mands such constant attention that
it has become an injustice to the
people of the state of Oklahoma for
me to conduct that, and at the same
time attend to the administrative af-
fairs of my office."
It is rumored that the resignation
of Freeling had some political sig-
nificance, and it is known that con-
siderable discussion has been caused
in high democratic circles.
Short Hill Make Kace.
Short will make the race for at-
torney general in the next election to
succeed himself, it. is said.
He was prominent in the prosecu-
tion of the cases of men who lynched
Jake Brooks, negro strikebreaker,
and supplauted Forrest Hughes,
county attorney, when the chamber
of commerce sent a committee to
Governor Robertson objecting to
Hughes.
They admitted that Hughes was
fair, but declared that he was not
"the right man to handle industrial
cases."
Accusations have since been made
that threats and promises of pardon
were used by officers investigating
the case to obtain the confessions
of some of the men. Seven of the
alleged nine persons who made up
the lynching party have been sen-
tenced to life imprisonment.
Certain political observers in the
state hint that Freeling's resignation
Was merely an easy way of stepping
out of office without a conflict.
He has been in office since 1914,
and although considered one of the
strongest men politically in the state,
is known as a violent opponent of
woman suffrage. It is said that he
feared the female vote, and took this
means to gracefully retire.

Slight Possibility That Heavy
Snow May Save Crop.
! WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 8.—A short-
j age of winter wheat in the United
States this year unless the unexpect-
1 ed happens, was predicted today
by E. J. Smiley, secretary of the
Kansas Grain Dealers' association.
With the statement that live mil-
lion acres of wheat sown in Kansas
last fall never will be harvested,
Smiley said the plants are small and
weak and the ground is dry on his
25u-acre tract and that with high
winds such as often visit Kansas in
the spring, other millions of acres
of wheat will be destroyed.
He said 0 similar condition exists
in western Oklahoma and in western
Nebraska. Comparing with last
year's condition, he said:
"A hei*y fall of snow about the
I middle of February, going with a
I warm rain sprouted the wheat and
I produced a crop. It may happen
again, but it doe? not look like a
I good bet."
