The value ot advertlslm apace la a newspaper
depends upon the quantity and quality of the circula-
tion. which depend on the quantity and quality of the
paper*! service to the peop'.e.
Anyone whose paper ff lis to reach him. or which
reaches him too late, will confer a favor on THfi

ENCOURAGING ENMITY—MALIGN SUPPORT
The deadly quality of the support of the Tulaa World
la apparent six weeks before tho primaries. It Is play-
ing a devious game but a few plain propositions stick up
out of the rubbish of rant and innuendo.
The primaries this year will be largely democratic af-
fairs other parties having as nsual, made machine nomi-
nations In advance, leaving the membership free to med-
uie to some extent In democratic polltloa. The worid Is
taking full advantage of the opportunity, being by nature a
meddler and disturber. v
Commiserations are to be extended to at least two
strong and lioreful candidates—Judge K. It Williams and
Hat Malloy. They have Incurred the support of the
World and the support is hurting both men. On the
other hand Charles West is to be congratulated. C. N.
Haskell, against whom the World seems to have a spe-
cial grievance, Is not a candidate for office, but he Is
entitled to coi.gratu'atlon*. too. The World is nMiking
an ostentation* and bitter fight on the ex-governor, un-
doubtedly for some reason not purely political.
Constant lambasting of West and Haskell Is adding
strength to the West campaign and open support of
Williams Is detracting from the standing of that able
and popular candidate. With five or six active and
capable opponents In the running, this malign support
may prove a fatal weakness to williams.
Whether the World Is supporting Williams to Injure
him or whether It Is really seeking to encourage Wost,
the fact remains that the Standard Oil organ is playing
for position. It is known to hava no great
regard for any other Issue than monopoly,
—and Standard Oil Is a life-sized Issue in
Oklahoma. Whatever direction World snppyrt may even-
tnally trend will be marked by a trail of damage.
A GREAT MEETING AND A GREAT WORK.
Drastic action Is sometimes necessary to accom-
plish a desired result Production In this field has gone
on In excesr. of pipe line and refining facilities. The
building of tankage Is always paid for by the producer
and should be avoided. The uctlon taken yesterday
aaemed to be about the only thing that could be agreed
upon as the immediate remedy. A better program
would have been the one proposed by Mr. Mosler and
presented lr. yesterday's Democrat. Such a plan will
take time to become familiar with; but soran such plan
will be adopted unless more pipe lines or refineries or
both are provided as they should be.
There In absolutely no reason or excuse for n con-
tinuation of the present low price of oil and the dispo-
sition on the part of a few producers to be content
with conditions which would mean a continuance of
those prices Is deserving of severe criticism.
This meeting should he followed by othets and the
purpose should be not simply to prevent a cut In price
but to provide meane to put the price up at leust to $1.25
per barrel rl ;ht away.
This can only be done by following up the work done
yesterday by a demand upon the Interstate commerce
commission for reasonable pipe line rate* and lower
rales by rail shipments and by some concerted effort
ot secure more reflnorles and pipe lines.
Drilling will go on without much cessation and at
the end of ninety days a lot of wells will be down to the
sand ready to he brought In Some provision should
be made to provide means of caring for the surplua oil
that may be ready at that time for a market.
TRUE OKLAHOMA SENTIMENT.
Standard Oil Is said to be behind the Villa cam-
paign for domination in Mexico. Villa Is a typical
Standard Oil patriot. What he can not get for his crew
he destroys, and that Is tho Standard Oil program car-
ried out to the minute detail wherever that monopoly
is operating. Verily Villa Is a typical Standard Oil lead-
er—one the trust would be glad to use anywhere.
The Okahnman editor makes the sensational state-
ment tihat he drank 7(>,000,000 ^altona of whiskey last
year, but Tne Democrat surmises the statement Is some-
wl at exnggornted. Sometimes one gets so puffed on
capacity that lie thinks he can do more than he really
does.
While cavorting for your favorito candidate and
watching the ircdiators. remember that Tulsa has to do
tome growing this season In order to keep her record
on straight, l'lug somo for tho greatest city of the
southwest os you go along.
Good evening. Who started the last Mexican revo
lutlonT
Notwithstanding the violent expressions made In
some newspapers and the unwarranted personalities in
dulged in by some who claim a certain fame in Oklaho-
ma. the true Oklahoma sentiment. Is chsrltaMe. given to
looking for the brighter side of life, and trying the gold-
en rule In our behavior toward those who live about us- j
That stranger within our midst who reads some of the Far
wild statements and frightful promises made b* some ,cl
campaign commltees, even some candidates. Is quite
likely to surmise that this Is a land where character *
assailed at will and the courts seldom railed on to set-
tle such controversies. Yet scarcely uny siite ot the
union hns a population with a brcader conception ot t*
man rights, a brighter view for the future, and ia ao
land can one find warmer, truer friends than La Ike
state of Oklahoma.
The reason of the divergence bc:ween appearance
and fact Is not hard tn discern—In our state ike *f=a
gogtie has played a stellar role lu polil.vjl affair*, ft?
fore statehood the people of the two territory were
acquainted—there were few mea with repatatkws ex
tending across the two territo)iea. Amhitioos and de-
signing men rushed to the fore, and the prairie* and th*
timbered sections resounded with the voices of those
who promised every thing. Those prstr'se-s were oftea .
made for the single purpose of rding to victory. The
agitator of good Intention and poor discernment helped
to maintain nuny of (he promising flotilla in power, and j
there was a time when an Oklahoma politician wbo wai
a stoat promiser and capable of browbeating his adver-
saries was considered an astounding success. There are
still members of that time and school of action, as wit-
nessed by the tremendous amount of abuse seme of the
campaign bureaus have issued against others In the
present state campaign. Some cf this had been sent
out by the opposition to the dominant party, but little
of It can be so charged, for the larger portion has ema-
nated from those who ?elt that they could advance the
Interests of those for T7hom they were struggling by
making vicious attacka on opponents.
How much has anyone of those making the wild as-
sertions benefited? How many readers and hearers of
those statement* pay attention to such screeching bids
for fame?
The a=:wv not be given, for the reason that
no one can afhaai for a whole state but it Is safe to
state that not «a e lu fifty thousand entertains other
than a deep difgast for such documents and utterances.
Certainly the people of this state deserve more ra-
tional campaign utterances. They have many perplex-
ing state problems to deal with and thejr desire to per-
use the facts—to know what men stand for and what
measures may be expected In the event of any man be-
ing given authority. Some of the candidates and their
bureaus have felt this way—some of them have kept
to the knitting of advising the people what they stand
for and what may be expected In event of tlielr being
chosen to public position. It Is easy to understand that
it Is hard to maintain this attitude when Irresponsible
are attacking character and men hired to do so, tra-
verse the state for the sole purpose of traducing. It re-
quires courage to drive straight ahead, giving attention
to matters in which the whole people are interested,
while men go hllher and yon attacking one, making un-
fair, unjust and untrue assertions against both public
and private life. But that Is the courage which will and
deserves success. This people want none of the scan-
dalmonger stripe of politics. They seek men who have
proven by their past capability to handle public matters
and to handle them at as little possible cost to the tax-
paying trasses They are not Interested in the Isms and
schisms of half-mod agitators and self-ordained reform-
, This Ik a practical age, and this state peopled with
the most practical minds possible to be found beneath
the stars and stripes.
Oklahoma sentiment rises above that which Is sor-
did. The vast majority of her citizenship seek the light,
the paths which lead to noble things, to noble thought
and great acHevement. That citizenship will rebuke
the purveyors of falsity and scandal when they go to
the primary August fourth.

Knocking before the people for admission for gen-
eral discussion, is the regulation of all public utilities,
and It will knock louder and more persistently unless
herd is given now. Government ownership will follow
unless the regulatory authority Is given, and enforced to
the letter.
Publicity of the right sort pays. Witness the fact
that high salaried men from all parts of the continent
meet In annual session, there to discuss ways and means
of furthering proper publicity. Oet in the game; it Is the
only way.
That Illinois policeman who shot at the German am
bassador got fame all right, but It Is unlikely that he
secured promotion by reason of the affair.
Our Idea Is that being csar of Russia, while It may
pay well and cause one to live at the top of the pot, la
no safe place for a mortal to hold.
Does anyone present remember whether the last
winter republican platform ot principles contained an
endorsement of Muerta or Villa?
It does not seem to occur to these sunburned re-
publics to the south that they should take a summer
vacation from tho revolution business.

The Reason Why.
-By Heath
The progressive pnrt.v could no more run a cam-
paign without Perkins than the republican party could
run without Rockefeller.
Theodore takes (leorge by the hand and says to the
cruel and upbraiding progressive party: 'If he is absent
1 nm gone, too."
Republican papers are still hoping for a panic, if
they were dependent on straight business they would
not wnnt a panic.
Refusing to boost Al Jennings at the present stage
of tho game, World & Son are doing thoir host for him.
World A Son campaign by Indirection, and the real
objects of those papers are generally under cover.
Tho Democrat Is tho Tulsa paper.
