turning.

with modesty the better. It seems
reasonable, but logic stops when it
finds that the lose the quantity the
moro 'tilio cost.
If the business men cut no ice in
the destiny of a city, perhaps it would
be Just as well to recall outstanding
subscriptions and forget the paying of
taxes.
This fact may also be noted: The
men who oppose the recall movement
are the smallest givers to local enter
prises and are generally in the delin
quent list when subscriptions papers
are passed.
President Wilson is right in keep
ing congress on the job. The Amer
lean vacation is hard on the health.
The raiding of the Owl club has in
voked a new ordinance. Thus, again
is necessity the mother of invention.
The Thomas Tribune says: "If Mr
Nissley was mayor of Thomas the
people would not wait for t'he recall."
Why?
Now since the capital matter lias
been settled for a while, at least, a
certain species of persecution may
stop.
You never would suspect from
hearing the people talk, that this is
the best country in tihe world.
Tan Murphy strike down the gov
ernor of New York with "his right
hand and with his left ease a mayor
into office?
Gen. Porfirio Diaz, who 'has been
recalled to Mexico, will show that his
wisdom is less than his years if he
accepts tihe call.
The demand for charter reform and
amendment is obvious. Two years
is sufficient tenure for an official of
an Oklahoma city.
Generally speaking, it is the man
whose own business is suffering from
Inattention who knows how the gov-
ernment should be run.
The jointipt is to be abhorred,
practises outlawry, pays little or no
taxes and does not enter into the
scheme of things, industrially.
And in the capital campaign of last
year—did Mayor Nissley co-operate
with the Chamber of Commerce? Sec-
retary Wenner has data on the sub-
ject.
There are 425,000 Americans rich
enough to pay income taxes, and
maybe as many more whose studied
reticence has kept them from being
so listed.
There are those who talk of a
"wide open" town. Guthrie business
men want none of it. Strict enforce-
ment of the law is demanded and pro-
gressive government along commer-
cial lines.
Noting .that young .Mr. Harriman'i
first job .is to decide what to do with
$140,000,000, the St. 'IxHtis Republic
suggests: "Considering Wall Street*!
reputation the first thing, manifestly,
is to count it."
"The Simplified Spelling Board,'
says one of fits bulletins, "announces
the election, by unanimous vote, of
five new members." And the very
first ono is nobody but John Bur-
roughs, whose duty it is at once to
slnnpiify himself to Jon Burros.
A new society is holding an annual
convention in Chicago this week, tin
American Association for the Study
of Sjoneiylotherapy, which 1t seems
has to do with the relation of color to
t'he determination of sex, instead, as
ono might suppose, having to do with
money.
Hugo Husoniau: Guthrie is in the
throes of a recall of mayor. Every
business man or importance in the
city has signed a (petition to recal:
the mayor. Guthrie wishes to peddle
space for a few manufacturing estab
llshments and the present mayor i-
proclaimed as a man who does not live
up to the requirements for such trans-
actions.
The pltohor that «es often to the
well finally goes once too often, anc
Pegoud's "thrilling" feats may reach :i
finale in one that horrifies.
It takes business to make a town
and business men are required to se<
that business keeips up. Thus the
present recall movement is merely u
step in municipal life looking to more
business.
So far as The Leader can lean
there is no spirit of revenge on th
men. The movement is one contem-
men. The movement! s one contem
plating a new deal for thrift and pro-
gressiveness.
It is quite possible that militant
suffragettes may overwork the immi-
gration advertisement of Mrs. Pank-
hurst's coming. It does not take much
to make the American public tired,
and it is particularly weary of manu-
factured sensations imported from Eu-
rope.
In the campaign for recall, no per-
sonal animus is directed against May-,
or Nissley and Commissioner Carter.
Serving as city officials, however,
they are amenable to - the sentiment
of the people who elected tfiiem.
"The reason for Mrs. Longworth
going on a trip around the world
without Mr. l-ongworth is not known
to her friends," says a Cincinnati
disi atch. Well, is it their business
or that of the Longworths?
If The Leader can be cited any evi-
dence that the recall is inspired by
jointists and has for its purpose any-
thing but better and move progres-
sive policies for t'he city, The Leader
will withdraw its support from the
movement.
But the consumer must wait many
months yet to get action on t'he low
tariff.
Wanted for Guthrie: More, fac-
tories; better local markets for Logan
county farmers; a larger membership
for the Chamber of Commerce.
If as Lord TTnrmsworth says, "Eng-
1. ! ;...o its women," then it is of
course only a question of time when
its women will "get" England.
Sir Edward Carson and 12,000 volun-
teers resisting the army and navy of
the iBritish Empire, would be a mag-
nificent sight While dt lasted, but it
would not last long.
If calumny is to play a part
tin the recall campaign, vit should
be remembered that it can be played
from both sides, to thG detriment of
t'he aide springing it.
Another of those eugenic plays if
projected in New York before tlu
members of the legislature aud the
members of the particular sociologi-
cal society in charge. As anyone
an become a member of the society
for $2. including admission to the
show, the careful restriction of the at-
tendance is obvious.
Mayor Nissley made a fatal mistake
in refusing to align himself with th
business interests of Guthrie. He-
should have been the head and front
of the Chamber of Commerce. It If
through the mayor and t'ho chamber
that business enterprises are placed
In touch with the community. In-
stead of supporting the business or-
ganization, the mayor withdrew hip
membership and practie-ally Issued a
defi to the business public.
THOSE DEAR, DEFYING EYES
It is in the news of the day from
Chicago that the women policemen
appointed by 'Mayor Harrison have
had a consultation, or conference, or
assembly.
That was inevitable, for women, just
like men, love to meet in committee
er caucus or some other thing equal-
ly as good. But this was a confer-
ence whloh brought out the most
amazing statement that the dear lady
policemen decided that for the mash-
er or other offender neither hatvpin
or club, or whistle is imperative, but
that the eye is all that is necessary
to make the masher'take to his heels.
One admitted, indeed, that she carried
a small billy, but it was only for dogs,
which was a nice compliment for the
masher who has been catalogued as
worse than a dog.
It was the unanimous conception
and decision that any lady police-
woman who kdews her business can
put to flight the most impudent of
mashers just by stopping in front of
him, looking him in the eyes, then
from head to feet, critically, crushlng-
ly, contemptuously, undauntedly, and
or could withstand.
It was agreed they had all tried the
experiment and that it had never fail-
ed. One handsome lady of leer said
she had traveler! all over the world,
had never carried any sort of weapon
except her eyes, though sttie had been
stared upon innumerable times. She
had never failed to put the starer to
route with those invincible wea->ons.
Herein is a profound lesson for
officer who is a mere man. lx t hi in
dispense with club and revolver, and
even the use of the first, and keep
tho peace In the toughevst regions by
the use of his eyes. He might have
them blacked once in a while, but is
he to admit that a woman officer can
do more than he?
" PAGE TiLHEB.
OSCULATION AND THE AUTO
That English magistrate who dis-
coursed frowningly and in general
terms on the hazards of permitting
women to occupy the seat beside the
chauffeurs of swift moving autos got
early verification of this side of
the ocean. The British authority
spoke no more specifically of tho liaz
ards involved on having lovely Thais
sit beside you going 20, 30, or
miles an hour than to speak of wom-
an as "distracting," "alluring," and so
on; but the incident at Chicago furn
ishes the specification so clear that
he who runs even at 50 miles on haur
may read.
In other words the chauffeur of a
truck carrying a picnic party kissed
the pretty girl beside him. He was
so absorbed by this diversion that he
did not see a bump to which he was
coming. The bump made him swerve
the steering wheel, the truck went
into the ditch and the uipset inflicted
injuries on >40 of the party.
That this justifies excluding women
from the front seat we are not posi-
tive; but we unqualifiedly assert that
it shows that chauffeurs must not pur-
sue the oexmpatlons of running the
machine and kissing at the same time
Either of them is sufficient to oc-
cupy a man's full attention. Both
ran be done better by one who gives
his entire mind to it than by him who
tries to combine the pursuits. Let the
chauffeur run the machine exclusive-
ly \s*hile he is about it anel let the
osculation be reserved for times and
easons when the whole attention can
be given to It.
NOW FOR DRESS REFORM
Who makes the "fashions?" Is a
juery that has agitated both the femi-
nine and masculine worlds for lo!
these many years. The individual or
syndicate who or which made the
prevailing fashion would do well to
reflect that silence is golden and that
speech is not even silvern for the
women's clubs of the country are get-
ting together and the proclamation
has gone forth that the transparent
skirt must be abolished; and Mrs.
dwln Gould, the very mold of fash-
ion and the glass of form, is one of
the leaders of the movement with all
he moral and social force of her mil-
lions.
Again, who makes the "fashions?"
is an old story that a popular and
somewhat cynically humorous Paris-
ienne, an actress, as a matter of
course, declared that she could make
new fashion in hats by sitting on
the latest fashion. She did so and
behold! that crushed hat became the
new fashion.
Persons with the least comprehen-
sion of the artistic in gowning and in
hatting will agree that the so-called
fashions" of the last two or three
ears have been the most hideous ever
known since modern civilization was
invented. The beautiful have been
mode homely and the homely have
been made ugly, in so far as they ha re
adopted what has been called "the
fashion." Poor girls have been led to
the most horrible imitations of the
better gowns and hats, if there be
any better, and the result is the most
tawdrily dressed feminity ever known.
If tho women's clubs can abolish all
this they will have done a far greater
ork than the getting of votes for
women; and if they can induce a near
return to the splendid and artistic
3imipilcity of the ancient Greek cos-
tume, always beautiful and never
changing, they will have made a close'
pproach to the regeneration of the
feminine world.
NOT WHISKY, BUT BUSINESS
Those representing Mayor Nissley
and Commissioner Carter make the
charge that the recall of the two com-
missioners is desired in order to elect'
men who will stand "for a wide-open
town," so-called, and for lax enforce-
ment of the laws and ordinances; in-
deed, the direct accusation is pre-
sented that jointists have influenced
the business community into urging
the recall in the direct interests of
the Joints.
The charge is so idle and puerile
that those who reaJly have at heart
the welfare of the city give it scant
notice.
The*idea that business and profes
ter part of their lives to the better
ment of Guthrie, who have been in
strumental in shaping legislation
looking to law and order, should now
wish to overthrow all they hav
builded up in order to please indiv
iduals engaged in the unholy traffic
of liquor, is too monstrous to con
template for a fleeting moment.
A cursory glance at the names of
the men who have signed the peti
tions pray ing for an election for re
call will convince the bitterest skep
tic that the accusations made are
absolutely unfouneled. Tho signers
of the recall petitions in Meniscive
are a collective guarantee of the good
faith of the movement, which w
conceived in an iutonse desire to pro
mote the interests of the city in an
Industrial «md commercial way.
Voicing the feWings of tho busi
ness world of Guthrie, The Leader
has aught to say of Me ssrs. Nissley
and Carter as individuals. But in
their official capacities their acts are
open to free criticism and eensuro
If the chief desire of the recall lay
in having Guthrie a "wide o;)en
town," why the recall? Under the
petty fine and sentence-re mittinp
policy of tho present city administra-
tion the jointist has never flourished
so luxuriantly as during the past two
ears. It is inconceivable to believe
that the average jointist is dissatis-
fied. And he is not. The present
commission, what with phony and
make believe raids on jo'nts and
clubs, has made life comimratlvely
easy for the man trafficking in corn
juice. He iplies his trade; if molest-
ed he knows the penalty will be lit-
tle more than paying the equivalent
of a license for de>ing business
But it is not with the liquor traffic
that the recall has to do. It Is based
solely on business.
•Wlhen Mayor Nissley made his
ampalgn for mayor he issued a plat-
form outlining what he proposed to
do if elected to the office he sought.
He promised to enforce the laws in
the s-iirlt and the letter. He made
glittering promises to the local
ministerial alliance relative to joint-
ists. Tliesc promises tho alliance
maintains, halve not been fulfilled.
Moreove* the mayor solemnly agreed
if elected, to conduct a business ad-
ministration, one calculated to sub-
serve the commercial growth and
business prosperity of the commu-
nity. Has the mayor adhered to this
promise? Let us see. Years prior
to his election and up to the i; resent
moment an organization of business
men, labeled the Chamber of Com-
merce, has struggled and labored in
behalf of Guthrie; has ofttimes over-
come tremendous difficulties in
achieving conventions and enterpris-
es for the city. Upon assuming the
duties of mayor did* Mr. Nissley and
his colleague. Mr. Carter, confer with
that organization with reference to
promoting the town's welfare? No.
They held aloof, pulled away and re-
fused to lend ear to the Chamber of
Commerce and bodies of business
men who called upon them seeding
encouragement for some praisewor-
thy enterprise. Mr. Nissley, more
than Carter, was at fault in this re-
spect, but Mr. Carter being under
the dominance of the mayor, figured
but little for good or ill. Mow many
conventions has Mayor Nissley
brought to Guthrie; he w many muni-
cipal movements has he been prom-
inently identified with, outside of the
Chautauqua his especial hobby to
the exclusion of all else?
The sum and substance of his work
can be scheduled on the digits of one
hand.
This general negligence and indif-
ference, then, and not the liquor'
traffic is at the bottom of the recall.
There Is no i>olitic8 in it, nor religion
nor revenge*, nor lodge fealty. It is
a straight forward, sincere business
proposition. The recallers firmly
and sincerely believe that with two
other men, aggressive and progres-
sive men, in charge of city affairs
more industrial good will redound to
Guthrie.
frequently broken than observed. And
the result of its breach was that be-
cause of the clinging gocd-bys at the
car stej>s ur in the cexich aisles, trains
were delayed; the entrance of unat
tended passengers was invp eded; and
accidents happeued which added
the railways' burden of damages.
Here, then, as in many relations
of life, (private griefs must give way
to public necessities. So. next time
you speed a parting guest, prepare
to do the hugging, kissing and tearful
swapping of farewells on private or
neutral ground.
SAYING GOOD BYE AT STATION
Great as are modern accomplish-
ments, tho ancients still had some
points of advantage on us.
Lovelorn Romeo, in the moonlit bal-
cony scene, could sigh and linger and
linger and sigh:
"Parting is such sweet sorrow
Thiat 1 shall say good night till it be
morrow."
But if the heir to the Montagues
should wish to try that stunt at the
observation end of a vestibuled train,
in one of the great railway terminals
in an American city he would discov-
er that the hard-hearted gentleman
who conduct our transportation sys-
tems have conspired to put a time and:
distance limit on the farewells of
travelers.
The edict has gone forth in Chica-
go, and presumably in other big cities
that friend® seeing a traveler off must
be kept out of the train shed. To be
sure, that had long been the rule.

sou eh eastern see-tlon of the city early
Saturday night, returning to the White
House from a long ride through Mary-
land, his automobile struck Robert
Crawford, a 15-year-old messenger
