iroing over. We are going to To Be Swamped With Des-
iiave the League of Nations in
another form. What the re-
publicans turned down two
years ago, they are for now.
Then they were the "outs,"
now they are the "ins." The
voice of the people, a majority
of more than seven million,
counts as little under the Hard-
ing administration lhan it did
under the Wilson administra-
tion.
The voice of the people will
remain a mere sound, as long
as they persist in giving then-
power into the hands of others.
The people's voice spoke plain-
ly when it elected Wilson on a
"Keep us out of war" platform;
it spoke just as plainly when it
elected Harding on an "Anti-
League of Nations" platform.
The very things the people
voted against is what they get.

Senator Borah performed a
valuable service when he forced
the administration against its
real wishes, to call a disarma-
ment conference. The confer-
ence was called, and what is
the result?
We have no desire to mini-
mize_,t!ic accomplishments of
the conference in stopping for
a period of ten years competi-
tion in the building up of ever
larger and larger navies.
The real result is that we
have entered a League of Na-
tions on a limited scale. In-
stead of guaranteeing to the
dominant nations the posses-1 Coldest March 2 Oil Record-

"Free s-o-u-p!"
This is the answer received by
the idle and hungry men of Ok-
lahoma City in response to their
S. O. S. message sent out since
unemployment has becomc so
acute in the city.
At leust 100 of these unem-
ployed and hungry, who have
been unable to find employment,
were happy Wednesday night.
They had made their first visit
to the newly established soup
kitchen at 316 West First street
where a free meal, with no
strings on it, could be had for
the asking. The soup kitchen is
under the direction of Captain
Ed. S. Cohen of the Volunteers
of America.
Several of the patrons admit-
ted that "it was the first timo
in their lives that they had ever
accepted charity."
Six Howls of vSoup.
One old man with an Irish bro-
gue, admitted to the Captain that
it was the first square meal that
he had had in three days. He
had eaten six bowlB of soup.
Others had eaten on an average
three bowls, the captain said.
"They were a hungry lot," the
captain declared, pointing to the
empty soup pots.
One of the Volunteers ex-
plained that the organization
was a religious organization.
"But you can't talk religion to
men with empty stomachs; they
just won't listen."
> ajuuiu Cohen admitted that
the captaincy of his soup kitchen
would be taxed to the limit as
soon as the word was passed
around but said that he thought
that as soon as the people un-
derstood the work they were do-
ing they would keep them sup-
plied with food to feed the hun-
gry.
Come When You Are Hungry.
A message to "come back when
you aro hungry" was given all
those coming the first day aud it
was plain that they would not
need the second invitation.
All of the food going into the
soup kitchen is received through
donations. According to Sohen,
the 8mith Baking company has
promised 75 loaves of bread a
week. The Royal and Campbell
bakeries have nlso promised to
supply bread. Wednesday's meat
supply came from the Buchanau
Market, 601 South Walker. The
Crescent Grocery gave the or-
ganization a sack of potatoes
and five pounds of coffee. The
chairs and tables arc furnished
by the Y. W. A., and the build-
ing furnished free by Newton
Avey, djvner of the property.
Two meals day will probably
be served. A breakfast from 8
to 0. and an afternoon meal from
4 to 5. Donations of foodstuffs
will be called for by notifying
Maple 72D1. and telling Captain
Cohen.

The man was private secretary

If Mrs. Smytho wins her suit,

Two Positions To Be Filled By
President.
With Fred Parkinson, state ex-
aminer and inspector, back In Ok-
mulgee where he will continue with
tho bank probe, and a rather weak
movement among the bar association
to have James Hepburn, county at-
torney, cease his investigations of
high state offilcals. the status' of the
bank scandal Thursday remained
practically unchanged.
Parkinson refused to make a state-
mont before returning to Okmulgee.
\ so what he had <ound in the search
of the accounts of the failed bank
whs not known.
A rumor was In effect that the
governor's clique was trying to In-
duce officials in charge of the inves-
tigation to "step easy."
A movement, the origin of which
is not known, may be made by the
Okmulgee county bar association to
have Hepburn step out of the grand
jury investigation, according to in-
formation from Okmulgee. It was
thought that pressure from outside
circles influenced bar members to
make the announcement, possibly
from the state capitol.
A vote of confidence was gifen
Hepburn by the. bar association,
however, at the Wednesday night
meeting, showing that the movement
I was noi very strong.

approved thc actions of Hepburn.
Hepburn denied that he was trying

WASHINGTON, .March 2. — The
bonup bill to satisfy the world war
veterans Is not thc only trouble en-
gaging our law makers.
Senator Bursum, of New Mexico,
is particularly anxious to do some-
thing for t,he officers of the world
war. He is not so much concerned
about the enlisted men, but the offi-
cers and their welfare are receiving
his special attention.
He introduced one bill, which pro-
vides that an officer who had any
disability, however slight, had
ground for retirement. Even though
j it was 1 per cent disability, even
though it did not preveut him from
participating in his profession, even
though it did not caufte him the loss
II of a single dollar in his profession
in private life, he proposed to give
a colonel in that casn $3,000 a year
where a private would get $360 a
year.
This bill, however, did not get fa-
vorable consideration from the com-
mittee and so Senator Dursum has
introduced another bill to accomplish
bonds and
funds.
