Harding's Successor.
Judges Are Big Lawyers.

OKLAHOMA CITY. OKLA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1922
PRICE TWO CENTS
Various politicians and editors
are choosing: the "man to succeed
Harding in 1924." Harding inter-
rupts their talk by sending in a re-
duced budget of government ex-
pense. It shows a great saving and
an actual surplus. Secretary Mel-
Ion's report shows the national
debt reduced, this past year, by
seven hundred and fifty millions.
If Mr. Harding's administration
can continue cutting government
costs and the national debt, he may
save the politicians the trouble of
choosing his successor.
The senate, led by Norris of Ne-
braska and LaFollette postponed
the confirmation of Pierce Butler
as supreme court justice. These
senators objected to Mr. Butler as
a corporation lawyer, specializing
in railroads, and, of course, on the
side of the railroads.
However, our big judges are
chosen always among the big law-
yers. Lawyers in these days don't
become big except as corporation
lawyers. That may not suit the
people, but that's the fact.
How much Intelligence does this
nation show in protecting itself? All
last summer it had plenty of coal
in the mines, and plenty of men to
dig it. But owners and workers
disagreed, and the country drifted
into a dangerous coal shortage, with
no serious protest from anybody.
"We cannot make our miners work
at our price, so yon probably must
do without coal next winter."
That was the message of mine |
owners to the public, and the pub- i
lie is doing without coal. The big- I
gest city in the nation has four I
days' supply, and if a heavy snow-
storm came there would he real
trouble.
However, it may teach some of
the people to think, and they need
that more than they need coal.
The people of Venice have prom-
ised Mussolini to do an extra hour
of work every day. German work-
men are changing from an eight to
a nine and ten-hour day. It is hard
on workers, and bad for the next
generation. But the nation that pro-
duces most will be soonest on its
feet.
Mussolini Is the interesting man
in Europe with Lloyd George re-
tired. He represents frank autoc-
racy coining up in an emergency.
If he fails there will be a bad time
In Italy. If he succeeds Italy ceases
for the time to be a free nation.
Italy at this moment hates France
bitterly. That hate may find ex-
pression if Mussolini remains auto-
crat. He is not a man to hide his
hates or other emotions. The new
part of the Italian extra hour is
the plan of Venetian workers to
contribute the pay for that extra
hour to the nation's finances. They
will not take a penny of the extra
pay. That kind of patriotism counts
and the Italians have it.
Tim Healy is governor general of
the Irish Free State. There is a
first class fighttug Irishman. This
writer heard him speak from "Be-
low the Gangway," which the Irish-
men sat on the night of the Mitch-
elstown disaster. It was long after
midnight; the news had just come;
all speaking was impromptu.
Healy's speech was that of a noble
patriot. And the speech that fol-
lowed, by Gladstone, then fighting
for home rule, was most admirable.
Healy, when moved, could talk
plainly.. When a military officer
sits in parliament he is referred to
as "The honorable and gallant
member." It was Healy who rose
to remark of a certain tory colonel:
"The honorable and gallant gen-
tleman is a willful and cowardly
liar." When the speaker said, sol-
emnly, "Mr. Healy, I name you,"
and he was led off the floor, Healy
mounted hastily to the Prince of
Wales' section of the gallary and
continued his demonstration there.
A fine lot of fighting men were
Parnell, Dillon, O'Brien, Redmond
and Healy, nearly all gone.
That Healy,, after thirty-eight
years in parliament for Ireland and
four years in retirement, should
now cross the Irish sea as gover-
non-general of the Irish Free State
and actually representing the per-
son of the English king in that
Free State government, shows that
anything is possible in politics.
A fine thing about the automo-
bile is its democracy. At New
York's motor car "salon" (why
salon?) a pretty blue car is offered
for $26,000. You can walk a few
blocks, and for a few hundred- dol-
lars get a car that will do all the
$25,000 car can do and give you
50,000 miles of service, If you know
how to take care of it.
RUSSIAN OIL LURES
*******
Diplomatically Speaking, Hughes Is On His Way to
Moscow—Secretary Disregards Wall Street
and Turns to Standard Oil for Advice,
By PAUL HANNA
Federated Press Stuff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Sec-
retary of State Hughes is on
his way to Moscow, diplomat-
ically speaking. It's a long
road, with several nasty de-
tours and some washouts, but
Mr. Hughes has packed his kit
and taken to the road.
To facilitate his journey, the
secretary of state has set forth
In the guise of a peddler—the
familiar makeup of curious pil-
grims trying to penetrate to
the holy city of a strange sect.
In a little bundle slung across
his shoulder there is concealed
the thing he hopes to sell when
he gets to Itussia.
This treasure is called Amer-
ican recognition of the soviet
government. It is wrapped
about in so many dirty rags of
pretense and evasion that Mr.
Hughes is sure nobody will
know just what is inside until
he sits down to unwrap his kit
in the presence of Lenin.
The secretary of state knows
at last that many good things
can be got out of Russia by a
skillful peddler. And by de-
manding at first many times
what recognition is worth, ho
is sure that a fair price will
come to him in the end.
There is oil in Saghalien,
now held "unlawfully" by
Japan. There is more oil in
Baku. There are concessions
for the harvester trust to set
up plants in Great Russia.
There are things for mission-
aries and contractors in Tur-
key that can't be had, it seems,
without Russian consent.
As already reported, the
Russo-Turkish lineup at Uiu-
sanne convinced Hughes three
weeks ago that the place to
make peace and safeguard in-
vestments In the near cast is
at the capital of Russia, not at
a Swiss hotel. Turkey, defying
the allied powers at Lausanne
and threatening to end the con-
ference there, is the Turkey

SUPREME COURT
Chief Justice John B. Har-
rison Overruled By Court
—Trial January 2.
Governor Robertson emerged vic-
torious Friday when the supreme
court granted the writ of prohibi-
tion asked by Judge .1. W. Bolen
against Judge Thomas A. Edwards.
Judge Bolen, on hearing of the de-
cision declared that he would dis-
qualify himself to try the governor
and call a special term of court for
January 2.
The supreme court held that
when Bolen adjourned court re
cently his action prevented Ed-
wards from legally reconvening it.
The bribery charges are now pond
ing in the Pontotoc county district
court subject to disposition when
that court convenes on January 2.
The decision was made by a ma-
jority of the supreme court and
overruled chief Justice Harrison's
recent order assigning District
Judge T. A. Edwards to convene a
special term of court to try Gov-
ernor Robertson on charges of ac-
cepting a bribe.
The court held that Harrison had
no authority to appoint a special
judge for a court that was not in
sesion.
Robertson was to have faced trial
at Ada starting Tuesday.
More delay is expected while at-
torneys maneuver for advantages.

in this country an iioi
system and an efficlen
marketing syistem, and r
tation system operated for service,
and a saner land policy. The chief
j causes of the tremendous reduction
' in prices farmers have received are
the denial of credits to the farmer
by the federal reserve board, ex-
orbitant freight rates to pay divi-
dends on watered stock and un-
earned increment and the encour-
agemeiH to waste, inefficiency and
graft and high taxes given under
our present government at Wash-
ington."
Marsh declared that much of the
farmer's difficulty is due to the fact
that exorbitantly high freight rates
have been charged for transport-
ing the farmers' crops, in order to
pay dividends on watered stock and
unearned increments.
"The reactionists and financial
interests," Marsh declared, "are
telling the farmers that the in-
crease in freight rates Is due to an
increase in wages paid to railroad
employes. That this statement is
not true is proven by the fact that,
although the total wages paid to all
employes was increased $618,000,-
000 in 1920, the income of the rail-
roads last year was $1,090,000,000
more than the total increase in
wages had been, and the railroad
wage bill has been reduced nearly
$650,000,000 since that."
Marsh declared that high freight
rates were really due to waste, in-
efficiency. graft, watered stock and
capitalization by the railroads of
at least five or six billion dollars
in the vahTo of the land they own,
most of which was given them by
the government.
Marsh declared that the state
systems of taxation bear most
heavily upon the farmers, and stat-
ed that th«^ producing farmers are
st credit j paying at least $1,000,000.000 a year
and just j more taxes than they should pay
transpor- i under proper assessment.
"Since 1912 the Standard Oil
company," Marsh declared, "has
paid in dividends over $2,000,000.-
000, the cash dividends this year
amounting to $129,000,000."
