SAPULPA, OKLA.— After about
two months of service on the crest
of the large hill known as North
Heights, overlooking the city of Sa-
pulpa and surrounding territory in
Creek and Tulsa counties the large
red-lighter cross, alleged property
of the Ku Klux Klan, was torn down
and removed lute lust night by sol-
diers acting under the orders of
Governor Walton.
No information could be obtained I
from the captain in charge of the I
guardsmen who wrecked the em I
blem. He said he would not be per I
mitted to make any statements con-1
corning his actions to newspaper!

The cross, which stood about 40
feet in height and above which was
flown an American flag, was lighted
as usual at sundown last night. It
burned brightly during the early part
of the evening. Late at night the
soldiers proceeded to the top of the
hill, cut off the lights and pulled
down the upright pole by use of a
block and tackle, the army truck
supplying power for the work. The
cross was loaded on the truck and I
removed from the city. It is thought I
that it was taken into Tulsa or de- I
stroyed. I
The Sapulpa cross is thought to be I
the last one on the state to all as it I
burned defiance since the order of I
the governor recently to raze to the I
ground all such emblems of the or- I
ganization on which he has declared I
war. The recent attenmpt to dyna-1

moving it as the heavy iron pipe I

“MEND THE ROAD BE-
FORE IT NE’DS IT"
i A man who spent twenty-five thou-
| sand dollars for a house and contents
and refused to spend a hundred dol-
lars to stop the leak in the roof, which
spoiled both, would be considered a
fool. But there are many counties
and many States which spend from
ten to twenty-five thousand dollars a
mile for a good road, a nd refuse the
hundred dollars a year needed to keep
it in perfect order.
The time to begin to repair a good
I road is the day it is opened for traffic.
| Homely philosophy says that a stitch
in time saves nine, and road experi-
ence proves that a bucket of oil, a lit-
tle and, a few rocks, and a man with
a shovel now can save the expense of
a whole road gang and expensive ma-
chinery later.
The modern road consists of a
foundation course of stone, a smaller,
I lighter course on top, a wearing course
of still smaller stones, a binder of oil
and sand, and perhaps a top dressing
of the same. As long as the structure
is complete, the road will wear. But
let time, or a too heavy load, or frost, ‘
or some other cause, dig a hole
through the wearing course into the
foundation, and the "bad spot” will
begin to “ravel.” Stones will break
away and roll down in the ditch, the
surface will disintigrate and in a com-

It is Human Desire that makes
world history—desire for conquest,
possession and control. The Con-
queror of the World must have his
will. He treads the people of the
earth under his feet, and spreads
ruin in his path,
cial distinctions—this Re-molder of
humanity. The habitations of poor
and rich alike are demolished, and
the treasured possession of city and
town desecrated. Nations are sub-
jugated, governments are revised,
territory is re-assigned, new laws are
made. The people bow under the
yoke, the conqueror is| enthroned
with pomp and ceremony, and hailed I
as master of the world.
And then something happens that
saves the world for the people. Some
call it the “hand of fate", but those
who live in the faith call it the “will
of God ’. History tells us that final
defeat awaits the man who aspires
to be Conqueror of the world.

preparing to invade China,
ander the Great of Macedon
himself master of the world of his
day. He forestalled fate by dissi-
pating his young life away and died
broken-hearted, sighing for more
worlds to conquer. Hannibal, the
Carthaginian, carried the spirit of
conquest across the Mediterranean
to Spain, Italy and over the Alps.
He threatened Rome itself, and as-
pired to the overlordship of land
and sea. Finally, defeated by Scipio
Africanus, he was exiled to Sf-ria
