Criminal Prosecution Not Attempted.
The course decided on by the gov
eminent in its prosecution ot the ,
Standard Oil Company Is apt to be 1
disappointing to most people, and es
pecially to those who failed to dis-
count the dire threats that have been
emanating front Washington for two
weeks. Mr. Moody has concluded not
to attempt criminal proscniion at
this time, that "Is reserved for future j
consideration." About all that the |
government seeks to do now is to 1
njoin the Standard Oil Company from
violating the law
This, it will be recalled was the
course pursued by the then Mtormy
General Knox in the case of the Nor■th-
ru Securities Company. The North-
ern Securities Company wn convicted,
njolned; and then, at a iiunn. nl when
the public was expecting the prosecu-
tion of Individuals, announcement was
made that "the government won't run
amuck." That suit had little conse-
quence; it was for the go\eminent a
bloodless victory: for it is generally
admitted that the purpose for which
the Northern Securities Company w is
formed has been just as well sub-
served since then by other devices.
What reason have we to expect, as-
suming that the government will win,
that the Standard Oil Company will
not resort to similar tricks? The blow
which the government h:i struck is
weaker than the preliminary
flourishes gave us a right to expect

article in the editorial columns of the

may be remembered, we quoted a

Rurick N. Roark. in which he recom-

Old Means of Enslaving the People.
The people upon whom the brunt of
war falls hardest, the people who
work, are waking up to the fact that
it behooves them to assist as far as-
possible in making war unnecessary
i and impossible. A recent evidence of
j this purpose is presented in a resolu-
i Hon introduced In theA merican Fed
I eration of Labor in convention at
| Minneapolis last week by .lames Dun-
can. vice president of the Federation
1 Mr. Duncan is president of the Gran-
I ite Cutters Union and chairman of
the committee on resolutions of the
■ Federation. The resolution advocates
| worldwide peace for all time, and
arbitration rather than resort to arms
■ in times of disputes."
j The resolution is a strong one. It
recites that "Fniversal and constant
peace between all nations contributes
directly anil lastingly to the welfare
of the workers and toilers of all na-
tions" Next it is asked that the con-
vention go on record favoring listing
peace, and that the influence of the
American Federation of Labor be
brought to bear on congressmen and
the President of the United States to
secure co-operation with other powers
to establish the Immunity of private
; property at sea in war times; a
general arbitration treaty: periodic
: world assemblages, and impartial in-
i vestigations of all differences before
hostilities are engaged in between
nations.
, The resolution is right in saying
I that "universal and constant peace be-
tween all nations contributes directly
' and lastingly to the welfare of the
; workers of all nations." Not only so.
but It is well known fact that the
! "workers and tollers' have not only
l to furnish the resources for the con
j duct of hostilities, but, worse still,
j they have to furnish the blood that is
sacrificed in the struggles, the lives
'that are sacrificed, the treasure wast-
ed. the hearty and homes that are
blasted, and the victims of the deso-
lation that w u and its inevitable con-
setpicsecs always entail. It is little
los than wonderful that working
men's organizations have not long
j since put themselves on,record as un-
i equivocally opposed to war under any
but the most imperative circumstances,
jit Is the old, old means of enslaving
the people-Dallas News.

gerrymandering of districts was done
with the intention of making republi-
can districts and not in a spirit of
fairness. Republicans in private con-
versation admit that the gerrymander
was made wholly in favor of the re-
publican party.
t By their unfair gerrymander the
republicans lost hundreds of honest
republican votes.. Should the demo-
crats be so unfair in their districting
the rank and the file of the demo-
cratic party would condemn it.
Convention in Session.
I The constitutional convention for
Oklahoma and Indian territory met
at two o'clock Tuesday at Guthrie and
was called to order by Delegate Henry
Johnson of Perry.
Judge King of Blackwell was elect-
ed temporary chairman and John M.
Young of Lawton secretary.
j The permanent organization was
effected by electing Hon. William 11
Murray of Tishimingo chairman, Peter
llanraty of South McAlestei vice-
chairman, John M Young of Lawton
I secretary, W. A Durant of Durant.
I. T., sergeant at arms and Rev Nay-
lor of Pawnee chaplain.
j All the officers elected were agreed
upon at the democratic caucus.
The convention Is made up of a
splendid body of men. it is the opin-
ion of all that an uptodate constitu-
tion will be made and the platform
pledges carried out.

Debate With Kansas
From the Umpire.
The contract for a debate wit
Kansas University was signed u
Wednesday night. The debate i - t
be held at Lawrence some time i
March. No question has beer, sul
ti) it ted yet but a meeting is to Ij
held tonight of the committee from
the Oratorical Association, to decide
on a question which we shall submit
to K. r. All arrangements will prob-
ably be completed in two or three
weeks, so that preparation can begin
for the local contest which will be
held early in February
The contract with Georgetown.
Texas, has been canceled by the
failure of her representatives to com-
ply with the agreement and respond
to the submitted question within two
weeks. A question was submitted to
her over a month ago and no answer
has yet been received. The only-
word received from Georgetown this
year was a letter from Prof. Moore to
Prof Buchanan stating that he e\
pected to advise the committee then
to cut out the Oklahoma debate i-
cause the distance was so j^reat he
tween the schools that it made the
expenses too great. This was talon
as a unofficial statement but it '
supposed that the committee acted
upon Pro! Moore'.- advht inc. no
answer has been received from them.
Thus, we quit with Georgetown on
even standing, each having won a
debate.
This leaves the University with only
one Intercollegiate debate for this
year- that with K. I There has
been some talk of trying for one with
Texas University but since ii is now
rather late in the year, no attempt
will likely be made until next year.
