' "He kept us out of war" is offered by the Demo-
cratic Party as a statement of a supreme accom-
plishment. That slogan is false. To accept it with-
out thought or reason is dangerous to the life of the
nation.
For months wo have been conducting a border
war with Mexico. At Vera Cruz we demanded that
our flag be saluted. The demand was refused. We
landed troops; a battle followed. We withdrew
without the salute bringing nineteen of our dead
with us and leaving our honor behind; and to thi3
day the salute demanded has not been fired.
The weakness of Mexico not the strength of tho
United States is all that has prevented our act of
war from being turned into the serious fact of war.
If the slaughter of American citizens men
women and children by armed troops if the kill-
ing of American soldiers by the soldiers of another
nation if the sacking of our towns is not war what
is it?
The Judge Advocate General of our army says it
is war. The Mexicans say it is war. Wilson's acts
show it is war but Wilson's voice saj's it is peace.
The Truth is that it is more than war. It is war
without honor and murder without reparation. It
is a condition that makes every true citizen
ashamed of the spectacle we have become in the
eyes of other nations.

THIS IS NOISE
TULSANS HEARD
As workmen lowered a ohargo of
dynamite Into an oil well between
West Tulsa and Jenks It came In con-
tact with a pocket of gas and ex-
ploded. SeveraL. feet of dirt were
blown out and a wagon was wrecked.
No one was hurt. The explosion oc-
curred about 6 o'clock yesterday after
nooa.
Wilson's course vitalized civil war in Mexico and
border war with us. The vacillating and irresolute
)olicy of the present administration has brought
lumiliation upon this country both at home and
abroad.
We have been at war; we are now at war; many
lives have been lost; our honor has been besmirched
and yet the Democratic Party cries to the nation
"He kept us out of war" "Ho has protected mo
and mine." The fact is that he has neglected our
greatest terasures the lives of our citizens and tho
honor of our country
It is the world war in Europe not the acts of tho
Wilson administration which has kept us out of
international complications that would have sorely
tried our courage and our strength.
Just prior to the outbreak of the war there was
forming a combination of European nations to de-
mand of us that we stop the disorder in Mexico to
demand protection of the lives and vast property of
European citizens in Mexico to declare that these
European nations would give protection by force of
arms if we did not.
What would that have meant? It would have
meant that we must athmt a determined policy to
enforce order in Mexico which was the only duty
consistent with the stewardship which we assumed
under the Monroe Doctrine; or it would have meant
war or the surrender of the Monroe Doctrine.
GRAND OPERA
SEASON CLOSES
IN A TRIUMPH
Rendition of "II Trova-
tore" by Ellis Company
Pleased Thousands.
(By W. R. GC1BERSON)
THERE may be a few still floating
about In the ethereal blue but
the majority of us are back with our
noses to the grindstone and finding
out Just where we aro after it all has
passed on. Did anyone evor see
such perfect weather? Everything has
worked In perfect harmony for Tulsa.
The grand opera season Is over tho
blight light of everyday work has
come out and the "stars' have faded
away Into the sacred vaults of our
most pleasant memories.
Tuesday night a-hotise with ivory seat
filled greeted t'ampanlnl as he stepped
out to take his place before his won-
derful orchestra. And he gave us
more than the order called for and
from the most stupendous applause It
was evident that the audience appreci-
ated It. As "Carmen" was a success
yea even so was "11 Trovatore". A
gorgeous production with an Incom-
parable oast. Think of ll Rappold
llomor Peterson Kingston and Ho.
tbler. And who Is there who heard
tho magnificent voice of Rappold last
night In the beautiful character of
Leonora or the rich velvet tones of
Homer as Azucena who did not go
away thrilled with happiness that they
had seen and heard?
And then Kingston in the difficult
tenor role of Manrlco Impressing one
with the fact that his portrayal of
that character Is a masterful one.
Voice physic combined with almost
perfecting acting meeting tho mezzo
voces and rolmstos with equal reserve
and disseminating tho feeling of his
thorough knowledge of It all.
I'olcse's Singing Vnrled.
Polese the count and who looks
every inch tho part sings wilh that
ease and grace yet filled with that
fire of vengcunco so often displayed
In his wooing of the fair Leonora but
In all reaches his climaxes in a manner
which makes one feel that ho still
hus something to give.
Those nf you who heard Rolhler In
the role of the captain In "Carmen"
were pleased but In that Abbletta
zlngara that flerco rhythmical tune
expressing all tho shades of horror
Rothlor was at his best. It Is a grue-
some story and the awe-stricken whis-
pers of tho chorus only add to Its grue-
someness. "II Trovatore" Is perhaps more fa-
miliar to most of us not as an opera
but from the familiar strains through-
out it all. Who of us has not heard
the "Anvil Chorus" and tho "Mis-
erere" "Ah I Have Sighed to Host
Me"?
Rappold roso In triumph before her
listeners. A voice -beautiful sym-
Sathetlc seemingly befitting the beau
f ul character of Leonora Every tone
(Wed with that something whioh
seemed to emanate from the heart and
clearly conveyed her truest lope for
her troubadour true to tho p tint of
death for him.
I-ast night was a victory for Homer
as far as Tulsa Is concerned. Hut
Mndiiuie Homer weuld triumph any-
where. Sueli a voire such brilliancy
of tone and such wonderful act I ns
stands supremo.
Her reception was an ovation. Tt
was not her first appearance hero
She hud already won the love of the
people (jf Tulsa and Oklahoma and
that inve was deeply sealed In thiiir
hearts; and loving her It was no won-
der they greeted her as they did. It
was not Azucena they greeted but
Mad. lino Homer whom they kne'V.
Hut tell me please where was Azti
ceiia evel sung as Homer sung it. Tell
me please where is there an A.ueen.i
who t ver sang that aria In the second
act "Fierce Flames Are Soaring" as
Madame Homer sung it. Living every
word and tono through the scene of
her mother's execution ovary detail
stamped indelibly upon her memory.
Yes Madame Home was really and
truly an AzucenU as ll Impresses one
the character should be.
I'robubly tho most Impressive .of all
"11 Trovatore" is act four and of
course the climax In the last scene.
In this net it is that l.uononi sings
tho plaintive lovo song to Manneo
within tho prison walls. And ah
bow effectively Marie Rappold Iiihs
It. Kevc.illng her heartfelt gilef for
the sorrows which she cannot reliev.
Following Is the most famous of
Verdi's operatic scenes tho "Miser-
ere" and then there breaks the beau-
tiful air if tho troubadour sung
within the prison. "Ah! I Have to
Rest Me" and as Kingston sang it
last night well to say It was buaut'-
ful would be putting It mildly but
Kingston's voice there's the secret.
To have sung the words to the musle
would have been pleasing but tho In-
dividuality that Kingston put Into It
last night was what made It beautiful
Ilrou-'ht Out lleauty.
Tho famous "Home to Our Moun-
tains" sung so beautifully by Madame
Homer and Kingston brought out per.
haps more than any other the real
beantv of Homer's voice.
Then tho tragic end tho dramatlo
aria of Manrico accusing Leonora of
her falsity hut only for the moment
for he soon discovers thut shu has
taken poison for his sake and then
tho sadness of it all as he pleads
forgiveness. Tho count enters Just
us Leonora Is breathing her last ami
realizing what she has dune orders
Manrico to his execution. Azucena
awakens and finding Munrico gone
rises and with a cry "You have
klllod your brother" falls In a swoon
and the curtain slowly descends as
1 lie count realizes his futal mlstako.
Of course we paid for it but
thanks to Mr. Kills for choosing
Tulsa us uno of tho nine cities to re-
ceive the honor. We paid for It
yes but did wo not get value re-
ceived? Think of it Farrar Homer
Stanley Rappold Peterson and For-
nia; then Mural ore Whltchlll King-
ston Polese .Rothler and others all
In two days. Some musical feast
but we consumed It and what Is
more digested it.
There were some unpleasant hap-
penings particularly In handling tho
overflow crowd for Carmen but It
was absolutely unavoidable and I
am sure the committee has done all
In Its power to overcome any Irreg-
ularities and will do all that It can
to relieve any grievances. This was
a tremendous undertaking for Tulsa
and taking all In all. a remarkable
.success.'
' It was the accident of war in Europe which then
prevented retribution for the policies of the admin-
istration in Mexico.
When the war is over those nations will again
press their claims and we will face the consequences
of the Wilson policy of watchful waiting.
Have we sunk so low that wo can approve such
a policy? Have we become so morally flabby that
we will tolerate its continuance?
This administration has created war. It has
created causes for future serious international fric-
tion. Notes and words and shades of meaning born of
rhetoric rather than straightforward patriotic sin-
cerity have marked the course of our relations with
foreign nations.
Force of character a fair and honorable course
would have closed (he debate which facility of lan-
guage? kept open. Force of character would have
stopped murder on the high sea.
Does the low estate into which we have fallen
among nations make a foundation upon which to
build prestige for this country or safety and moral
htaniina for our children t
It is our tradition t honorably keep out of war
but not to spinelesslv creep into war.
.Mr. Wilson has not kept us out of war. Mr. Wil-
son has ur us into war.
Mr. Wilson is making war upon the moral fiber
of this nation.
