One of the greatest obstacles to the
reasonable and beneficial development
of human society in this age is the
prevailing opinion in many quarters
that tho common people are not capa-
ble of taking care of themselves and
require some one of superior Intelli-
gence to show thoiu what Is best for
them. The morals of the public is
so easily corrupted according to this
I view thai the whole fabric of socletj
would go to the bowwows wero It not
for the kindly Interposition of these
self-constituted guardians. Were
these presumptive directors content-
ed to promote public righteousness
anil purity bj the process of educa-
tion there would bo no room to com-
plain. Tiny could have perfect lib-
erty In this land of the froe to pro
mulgate their theories in season and
out of season if there wi re any reul
merit in their propositions the t st
of timo an.i pera sb n se would show
u and humanity would be benefited.
Hut that method is too slow to suit
some of them and they are continual-
ly appealing to the lawmaking power
to force people to conform to thrir
benvolent Intents Korvo always
greats resistance and compulsory re-
form defeats its own ends. Pages
could be written on tills subject with-
out doing it Justice or exhausting Its
possibilities The whole scheme Is re-
pulsive to Americanism nnd gmacks
of the dark ages when law prescribed
not only what a man should do but
what he should believe one of the
stillest attempt! in th I l;ne Is the
endesivor to bring the picture ShOW
within the province of state and na-
tional resolution against which no
better argument Is needi d than to re-
fer to results where It has been tried;
as fcr instance In Kansas where a
state board has barred t'htrley Chap-
lin In the interests of public morality
and yet gives assent to I Ims that are
really demoralizing The greatest
trouble with censors is you cannot

portunity ot beautiful homes and
Just now thanks to unwise publicity

World Is not among those who are
blindly carried away by the charm
of a magnetic personality or Die pop-
ularity that sometimes results from
a well-ordered system of advertising

as he is painted and that no man is
so wise and so good as to deserve Im-

even the devil have his due. It is
therefore not in sympathy with those

would be more than human If he
loft his own ambitions entirely out of
tho calculations. The thing to be
wondered at is not that ho has seen e
new light but how he could so long
have been blind to the light he now
sees. Because a campaign Is near Is
no reason for denying him a fair con-
sideration when he pays he hits
learned Something by experience.
What the people want to Know out-
side of his presumed sincerity Is
whether his change of mind Is com-
plete enough to bo permanent and
effective and how far his conversion
wV.i extdid beyond his personality to
his party. The country has had e
rather sad and uneasy time for the
last three years because ot the blun
doling political regime that came In
with tho president and they would
like to see that party demonstrate
forlorn hope that It too. Is capable
of learning from experience.

j no question nut mat Tulsa has re-
habilitated sciir-s of men. who had
failed and would have faced a cruel
handicap had they remained strug-
gllng in their old surroundings And
this is one of her lines' virtues the
door of impartial opportunity she has
held open lo overj man who is willing
to play fair without prudlshness over
credentials.
Such matters dq not often come Into
punt hut in confidence the other day
the Man About Town saw the curtains
Ot a man's past lilted and heard the
story of his magnificent recovery here
This man was something of a poet
am! by his permission some lines he
wrote are quoted.
Iife's Rappj Way.
"Once he was known as a man to
glli'do
Held sway with an Iron hand
Then he was caught by tho ebbing tide
And borne off to sorrow's land.
"He hoard the sneers and the Jeers
that sped
Like pests on swift wings to taunt.
They stung Ins soul till It fairly bled
And followed like ghosts that haunt."
"The knowing tide beached him after
while.
It. n off with a nervous haste:
Hut ho looked round on a .smihiiL' Isle
And not on a desert waste."
It Is needless to say that Tulsa was
his "smiling isle" nnd that ho is today
a booster supreme.
This article Is growing serious but
remember it is Sunday. Why la the
