Last week the Vinita Weekly Journal said in reference to Jim
Davenport that “he (Mr Davenport) is well organized” We don’t
know what he means by that statement but we take it for granted
that he refers to his candidacy for reelection However there are
those that might place a different construction on the statement
“Any person living in Congressman Davenport’s district who
has not as yet been supplied with flower vegetable or cotton seeds
can have their request granted by writing Mr Davenport at Wash-
ington” — Washington News Letter by John W Flenner Yet the
News has been criticised for saving that Dayenport is a howling
joke and the laughing stock of the state Nuf Sed
Oklahoma has two of the biggest Senators in the union Won’t
you‘ help us make our congressional delegation measure up to the
same standard? You can do it by voting for Hastings — Sallisaw
Star Gazette J ‘
By quoting the above we do not mean to take sides in an issue
in which we are not directly involved but it is prompted by a de-
sire to extend the hand of fellowship to the Star-Gazette man in bis
laudable desire to see his own district send a good man to congress
— a man in whose patrotic efforts and strong personality the merits
and claims of the district might find expression
The statement of the condition of the state banks of Oklahoma
based on reports received by the banking department under call of
March 4 discloses the fact that deposits show a decrease of one
million over the same period last vear That does not indicate that
there is a million dollars less money in the county than for the same
period last year but it shows that the farmers are spending more
money this season on farming and agricultural enterprises than
during any year in the state’s history Conditions for the past
three or four years have not been such as to inspire our farmers to
put forth any great expenditure of effort or money fearful of 'a' re-
currence of drouthy times and as a consequence they have kept
their savings salted for the future This season indications could
not be more propitious for a bumper yield of all crops and our
soilmen have anticipated the favorable outlook by an early start
bigger plans and increased acreage Without any unusual mishaps
the year 1914 ought to be the banner erop year of Oklahoma Aijstovy
The verdicts of the juries in the retent murder trials inA3air
county give ground for congratulations to the citizens of that
county from the other counties of the district Corntasse who
murdered his wife in cold blood and without any excuse whatso-
ever was condemned by a jury of peers to die in an electric chair
and last week a jury of the same county and of equal patriotism de-
creed that the assassin of Pat Dore should have the remainder of
his life to rue his rash and wanton act These verdicts are viewed
with no little degree of gratification on the part of those who have
longed to see the time come when the majesty of the law would be
upheld and strict justice meted out to evil-doers and they are sig-
nificant in that they show that the time is paist when wanton man-
slaughter is condoned and encouraged by the juries of the land
The time is fresh fn our own memory when a man’s life in Adair
county and in other parts of the country as well was worth no more
than a year or two in the penitentiary or more often the case than
otherwise the slayer went scot free
“
Congressman Davenport in his letter to the editor of the News
cites us to come into court and show the good people of Delaware
county from his record our foundation for dubbing hjm a joke and
u figure-head He further asks us to show where any representa-
tive in congress from Oklahoma has secured more appointments
tor his district than he has
Now as to the former request we want to say that no one
would be more willing to do that than we No one would be more
glad to take up the congressman’s record and show where he has
clone little else than draw bis salary but he lays before us an im-
possible task We are confronted and confounded with the enigma
of a recordless congressman How can we please the congressman
when he has furnished us no record as a working basis During
the past three or four months Mr Davenport has been grasping
wildly for every little straw’ to bolster np his chances for reelec
tion There has come to our desk this week a “speeeh” from Mr
Daven)xrt purported to have been delivered by him in congress
We doubt seriously if a single word of it was ever spoken in the
house of representatives or if it was it was delivered to a wide ex-
panse of empty seats We took the time to read the speech and
after three four minutes of laborious effort we had it finished The
The theme of the address was “Good Roads” — a pet subject for as-
ipiiiimg congressmen and one in which they usually soar ‘with the
eagles But we want to say for the benefit of those who were not
favored with a copy of the speech that if any high school boy in the
- district eould’t write a better paper on the theme of Good Roads
than Congressman Davenport’s puny effort we would move his un--conditional
expulsion from school It is generally supposed that a
man of average ability add information to say nothing of a con-
gressman can make a pretty good speech or w’rite a creditable es-
say on the very important subject of Good Roads and highway im-
provements but Mr Davenport's effort in that line is sadly lacking
the ear marks that ordinarily characterize a masterly effort His
speech not only shows a great lack of literary merit but betrays a
' decided dearth of ideas and slight preparation and knowledge of
Xhe subject-matter on the part of the author
A his request that we show where any other congressman
from Oklahoma has secured more appointments for his district
than ho (Mr Davenimrt) we will concede that that distinction be-
longs to him and he is perfectly welcome to all the honor and glory
that goes with that record But since he has raised the question
we want to say that he has voluntary kicked-in with an admission
’ guilt in a charge we were going to lay at his feet — that instead
of devoting his time and thought to the study and support of the
democratic party’s program of beneficial and remedical legislation

Stars and Stripes Cheered in Mexico
“The incident came as a surpise to the commander General
Carranza on foot had passed and behind came a troop of his sol-
diers As they entered the main street only the Mexican flag was
visible but at that moment the stars and stripes were suddenly
unfurled and the two emblems were carried through the streets to
the Juarez mounment” Thus reads an excerpt of a dispatch from
Juarez telling of the trumphal entry of Carranza the rebel leader
into that city And the dispatch stated that when the stars and
stripes were unfurled beside the emblem of the revolutionists both
were cheered wildly by both Mexicans and Americans Think of
it the flag of our government applauded and cheered by a people
whose eternal aversion have been the hated gringos or Americans
The history of the relations of the two countries will not furnish
another instance like unto it It is a decided vindication for Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary llryan and those that have supported
them in them in their watchful waiting ixfiiej’ and gives a black
eye of a very dark hue to the policy of intervention at any cost
If the present administration is allowed to persue it’s policy to-
ward Mexico unhampered and unfettered it is not an idle dream to
believe that only in a short while will the Mexican learn even as
the Cuban has to doff his sombero in reverence and respect to Old
Glory And to all true Americans that is a much better prospect
than to endure The otorunl hntrd nnrl respntment of Mexico that
would surely follow the entrance of an American army into Mexi-
can territory

(By W A Bams Minister Church of Christ)
Text: — “Fpr the wages of sin is
death but the' gift' of Godis
eternal life through Jesus Christ r -our
Lords” Rom 8:23 - ’
A great many good people in
this world think that -every man
ha an immortal ’soul Now Id
shall make a statement -which '
may shock a great many who
think thisnever-the-less I make
)t in the light ‘of God’s word and
jvithout' fear of successful con-’
tradition '
j No man has an immortal soul'
until he gets it through obedience
to the gospel of the Christ Who
Came to bring life and - immortal-
ity to light through the gospel
1st Tim 1:10' A thing Immortal
is a thing indestructable and a
thing indestructible is a things
eternal'
i Now listen to Panl in speaking
of God in Rom 2:6-7 he says :-Who -will
render to every man accbrd-
ing to his deeds: To them who
by patient continuance in well-
doing seek for glory and honor
and ’immortality eternal life
That is to such he gives eternal
life Again: “For as in Adam all
die even so in Christ shall all be
made alive” Rom 15:22 Thus
we see that whatever it was we
lost in Adam we have gained in
Christ through obedience to the
gospel Then if we gain immort-
ality and eternal life in Christ we
must have lost immortality and
eternal life in Adain
The doctrine of the immortali-
ty of every soul whether with or
without Christ the doctrine of an
eternal unending torment in the
burning torturing flames of an
eternal belj go together and both
are faise as false can be in the
light of God’s word They are
purely an invention of Rome for
the purpose of enriching the
priesthood at the expense of their
people
Listen to the language of the
text “The wages of sin is death
but the gift of God is- eternal
life” We find the same thought
expressed in Ezek 18:4 which
says “The soul that sins it shall
die” Again we have in James
5:20 this language “That he
which converted the sinner from
the error of his way shall save
his soul from death” Again over
inlsaiah’s prophecy ofthe Christ
and Isaiah prophesied even by the
spirit of the Christ he says: “In-
cline j’our ear and come unto '
me: hear and your soul shall
live” Isa -55:3 Onceagain “And
fear not them which kill the body
but are not able to kill the soul
but rather fear him which is able
to kill the soul but rather fear
him which is able todestroy both
soul and body in hell”
And I could give many more of
life import' dear 'reader but
this is sufficient
God seeing man’s need of
something which he did not
possess sent the Christ into the
world that through him he might
obtain it For what purpose
came Christ? To bring eternal
life immortality He only hath
Immortality dwelling in the light
which no man can approach un-
to” 1st Tim 6:16 Then the
question asked by Job in the
dawn of history “if a man die
shall he live again? Job 14:14 was
never answered until the Christ
answered it in His glorious resurrection
