JAMES M. GRESH1
of Norman
Republican Congressional Candidate
In the Fifth District
the Logical Repub ican Can-
didate Because:
Dr. DeBarr Says Americans Can
Have No Conception of Con-
ditions in Old Country.
FIRST—He has always been a progressive Re"
publican, and will receive 'the votes of both factions of
Republicans.
SECOND—He is liberal toward all parties, a
good campaigner, offensive toward none, and will re-
ceive the support of a host of liberal Democrats. His
popularity among all parties, classes and factions is at-
tested by the fact that he was elected mayor of his
home town in 1909 by a large majority against parti- J
san odds of 3 2-5 to 1.
THIRD—Being from Cleveland County he is re- |
moved from the sectional prejudice existing between *

Dr. DeBarr who returned re-
cently from Berlin, is not
surprised that the rulers and
leaders of European peoples
have decided upon war as a rem-
edy for the intolerable condi-
tions, in many respects, under
which the people are laboring
and the "unrest" that permeates
every country. It was Lord
Francis Bacon, we think, who
advised that when conditions
became intolerable and unrest
beyond control in any country,
; a foreign war was the only rem-
1 edy—and the rulers seem to
be taking his advice.
The population in all the
countries is so dense and the
! poor people so extremely poor,
merely existing, that war will be
| hailed by them as something
j much to be desired. It will be a
i change anyhow. For the much
greater part they are fatalists,
I thinking they might as well die
j today as tomorrow and if their
j time has come they are ready to
j go—and take the other fellow
J with them. The war will "clear
I the atmosphere" and result in a
long continued peace.
Frank Gahrtz Injured.
Mr. Frank Gahrtz, connected
with the geological department
of the University as draughts-
man, received serious injuries
Saturday night by falling from
the upper porch of Hotel Agnes
onto the brick sidewalk. He
was rooming in the second story,
and about 1 o'clock Sunday
morning, in his sleep, got out on
the porch and walked off the
west end. In falling his head
hit the Furray awning, making
a deep gash in his forehead just
over his eyes. Dr. Luehrs was
promptly called and sewed up
the cut and attended to his oth-
er injuries, and on Sunday
morning Mr. Garhtz was taken
I to the Sanitarium in a delirious
condition. Reports from the
j hospital today state he is get-
I ting along nicely and will soon
completely recover.

OBSERVER.
Richards' Confectionery is be-
coming the most popular and
best patronized resort in Nor-
man—and "There's a Reason."
It is because it is being run on
the right principle, viz: "Best
Goods and Best Service." It is
such a pleasant place, too, to go
and take your friends. Nicely
furnished, cool and pleasant,
music, electric fans, courteous
treatment, the best of drinks
and ice cream. It is a place where
you can take your friends from
out of town with full assurance
they will be pleased. If you are
not already a customer of
"Richards," try it once and you
will sure be a regular.
with flags waving and torches
blazing. From time to time
there is an outburst of cheering
and singing.
In front of the Kaisen Cathe-
dral church each procession
halts and a sudden hush falls
over the marchers, then the
strains of the National anthem,
sung in harmony by a section of
the procession, rises, the crowds
listening silently with bared
heads. Then the procession
moves forward and the demon-
strations are resumed with re-
newed vigor.
Martial law was declared to-
night in St. Petersburg and the
suburbs of the capital.
MARRIED—Graves-Cobble.
At the M. E. Church, South,
parsonage, o;i Saturday evening,
August 1, 1914, with Rev. R. L.
Ownbey officiating, Mr. Ross
Graves and Miss Grace Cobble
were united in marriage. Both
are among the most popular
young people of Norman, the
groom being a steady, indus-
trious painter, and the bride,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Cobble, a winsome young lady.
She has been compositor for
some years at the Enterprise of-
fice, and the craft, especially,
wish her every happiness.
Tourists in Panic.
Paris, Aug. 3. — Every berth
on the trans-Atlantic steamers
sailing before September 15 ha.-
b.'en sold and many thousand
of Americans traveling here have
become panic stricken. One of
them gave $1000 today for a
steerage ticket, while a Mr.
Meyer, of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can offices in New York, who
had booked on the Imperator,
was able to obtain only an inside
berth on the Potsram sailing to-
day.
Enthusiasm in Russia.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.—Ger-
many's declaration of war aginst
Russia has provoked in the Rus-
sian capital a wonderful demon-
stration of patriotic enthusiasm.
Tonight the capital presents
a spectacle of extraordinary ani-
mation.
The Nevsky Prospect and all
the leading thoroughfares are
filled with war-frenzied people
marching in processions, carry-
ing protraits of the Emperor,
Starvation Confronts Them.
London, August 1.—The pres-
sure of food shortage is already
evident throughout all Europe.
Prices of food stuffs have soared
beyond the purses of the poor.
England alone has taken no
steps to prohibit the exportation
of food or war supplies. It has
none to export, however, and
within the borders is not much
more than a month's supply.
Dealers everywhere have al-
ready trebled prices, but their
stocks can not last long, and
commerec is already seriously
hampered. The problem of feed-
ing the people is dividing atten-
tion with the war plans in the
minds of the ministers. Legiti-
mate as well as speculative
business is interfered with.
Every one is hoarding resources.
Even the countries not affect-
ed by tha war preparations are
suffering. Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and even
Switzerland are feeling the
pressure.
All must live on the supplies
within their own borders from
the moment hostilities open.
Stoppage of the transcontinental
expresses, and the holding at
their docks of the commercial
line steamship prevent the farm-
ers and the wholesalers sending
out the usual supplies.
The suffering of the noncom-
batants will be intense. The
fighting nations will care for
their troops in the field. But the
women and children, the stay-at-
homes, will feel the pressure al-
most from the start.

John A. Fox for Commissioner.
When John A. Fox wac coun-
ty commissioner of Cleveland
county, no man did more for the
county and Norman. Citizens
should remember him next Tues-
day.
