THE EAST IS PEEVED
Eastern interests are reported very much concerned over
the elevation of Senator McCumber of North Dakota to the
chairmanship of the Finance Committee of the senate to
succeed Senator Penrose The promotion of McCumber comes
as a result of the rule of seniority that has prevailed in both
houses of congress for many years During the Wilson ad-
ministration most of the chairmanships were held by Southern
men under this rule Some sections of the Eastern press threw
conniption fits about the nation being ruled by Southerners
and now they are worried about McCumber The fact is that
the East has ruled the nation so long that a lot of those fel-
lows have come to look upon it as an inherent right with the
rest of the country attached to the East for revenue purposes
only It is high time that some other section had a chance to
direct some of the legislative machinery to the benefit of the
nation as a whole instead of for the East 'alone We are not
sufficiently familiar with McCumber’s record to forecast his
course in his new position but at all events he knows that the
country west of Buffalo New York is inhabited by tt civili-
zed race of people who have some interests to be considered
in framing legislative programs Until just a few years ago
weather reports from Washington were not wired farther west
than St Louis This is a small matter in itself but it gives
one an idea of the conception of the West held by the East-
erners who have controlled the government most of the time
since the Civil War
POOR STATESMANSHIP
The house of representatives has passed by a vote of
230 to 119 the Dyer anti-lynching bill The bill as we under-
stand it will require any county in which a lynching' occurs
to pay the family of the victim 310000 - and the federal
authorities will assist in running down those who take part
in the lynching It further provides that officera 'wiuT'are
deemed negligent in their efforts to prevent lynching shall
be liable to life imprisonment or lesser penalties
The object of the law is to appeal to the prejudice of
the negroes in the states which have small democratic or re-
publican majorities We do not object to congress’s' playing
politics so much as we do to its dabbling in a question only
to bring harm and passing a law contrary to the principles
on which this nation was founded
Our own congressman we are sorry to say voted for
this bill according to the newspaper dispatches thereby put-
ting himself in line with the New England law makers who
have always delighted in slapping the South
We do not believe in lynching We believe that every
person ought to have a fair and impartial trial but at the
same time when an unspeakable crime is committed against
white womanhood it is hard for chivalrous manhood to res-
train the desire for vengeance In such cases the federal
employees are likely to meet their own fate if they go into a
community to get the men who take part in' lynching
When our government was founded the police powers
were given to the various states and the states in turn de-
legated that power mostly to the count ies -We do not know
what opinion the Supreme Court will hold in reference to this
latest piece of poor statesmanship in case it js passed by the
senate and approved by the president but it is vicious in the
extreme If it is constitutional state power is a farce and
ocal self government has passed from the nation It means
the beginning of the breaking up of local police authority
and the substitution thereof of federal appointees and the
attendant dangers and ill-feeling between office holders and
civilians
How any man who knows history how any man who
cnows human nature how any man who knows what local
government is and respects that principle “of our government
coaid vote for this bill is more than wo can understand Such
legislation is damnable and hypocritical and results from the
lowest instinct in the human breast— the desire to perpetuate
one a self in office by conceit and evil methods

McCauley trial
AGAIN DELAYED
NO DATE IS SET
(From TamUr’i ball)1
Sickness today of iboth County
Attorney Wayne Wadlington and
Justice of the Peace H J Brown
before whom the hearing was to be
held caused a third conlinuance in
the preliminary of B F McCauley
on a charge growing out the fire
which almost two months ago de-
stroyed part of the ‘building stock
and fixtures of Ihe Ada Music
company
The charge on which McCauley
was to go to trial today was of de-
stroying insured property Assistant
County Attorney H F Mathis said
this morning that no date had been
set now for the preliminary this
arrangement pending the recovery
of Judge 'Brown and ol County At-
torney Wadlington January 16 was
one date set for the preliminary but
the state asked for IS days more
time The defense was then ready
for trial ibut agreed to a delay
State Fire Marshal Benjamin who
signed the complaint naming Mc-
Cauley president and prineipal
stock-holder of the music company
in connection with responsibility of
the fire was to have appeared here
today as principal witness for the
state
PUT UP OR SHUT UP
Politicians have shed many bushels of crocodile tears
over the dear farmers — in campaign time — but with the presi-
dent and congress it is now a case of put up or shut up The
Farmers Conference which was held at Washington adopted
a pointed resolution demanding that the president and con-
gress take measures to stabilize the price of farm products
In campaign days politicians always have numerous plans
and ideas about helping the farmer but putting them into
execution is a different matter Now the matter is put in blunt
terms before a set of promise makers Can they make good
or must they admit that all their flowery promises in times
past have been merely for the purpose of catching votes?
Chickens come home to roost and this time it is a whole flock
at once The country awaits results
If New England farmers had access to a block of our
Pontotoc county land they would sell it by the pound as
fertilizer
DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK
In Sunday’s Oklahoman Miss Edith Johnson gives some
pointers on proposing In course of her remarks she suggests
to the lovelorn youth that out in the moonlight is a most ex-
cellent place to declare himself to the adored lady Very
good suggestion perhaps and a member of the News staff
tried it a number of years ago The moon beamed down in
her greatest glory Not a cloud was in the sky The X-Rays
have nothing on the rays from the bright countenance of
the queen of night as they penetrated the cranium of said
scribe Once inside his skull they played havoc with his ordi-
nary common sense He was not sure whether he was still
on the surface of this planet or had been transported to one
of the bright stars that twinkled in the glorious firmament His
heart fluttered with hope He sat beside the “Only Girl’’ and
poured forth a flood of eloquence that if printed or uttered to
a larger audience would have placed him in a niche beside
Cicero and W J Bryan But — well matters in everyday life
do not always end as they invariably do in Btories or the
movies Evidently the rays of the moon failed to penetrate the
head of the girl who listened patiently until
THE POPE AND THE KING
Dispatches state that the college of cardinals is divided
on the question of a reconciliation with the Italian govern-
ment one faction being in favor of accepting facts as they
actually exist and the other insisting on the present course
of refusing to recognize the sovereignty of King Victor Eman-
uel The dispute dates back to 1870 when 'the grandfather
of the present king of Italy captured Rome from Pius IX
and ended the temporal sway of' the pontiff which had been
exercised for 1000 years with the exception of the years
Napoleon ruled Europe
P°P® Pius shut himself up in the Vatican and declared
himself a prisoner refusing to acknowledge ' the new order of
things The Italian government guaranteed him certain rights
and has made an appropriation of $750000 per year ever
since 1870 by way of compensation but not a dollar has been
drawn since that would be an acknowledgement of the
temporal rule of the king of Italy Leo XIII who succeeded
Pius followed his policy and during his reign of more than
a quarter of a century never left the Vatican The two who
followed him clung to the same course bufc jiow fully half
of the Italian cardinals favor accepting the situation and be-
ing on friendly terms with the Italian govemmet instead of
keeping up a quarrel that gets nowhere Of course the Pope
in reality is not a prisoner he is at liberty to go and come
as he pleases but having once declared himself a prisoner to
leave the Vatican would be to acknowledge the sovereignty
of the king over Rome Apparently the Italian government
has never worried much about the situation and a one-sided
quarrel becomes monotonous in time
DOWN WITH RADICALS
In a recent issue of the Printing Trades Bulletin of
Oklahoma City the following piece of wisdom is found :
“The fact of the matter is that organized busi-
ness (small business) and organized labor must
purge the radicals from their ranks and begin to
think of the welfare of society”
chance to say something Next day the orator of the evening
before bought a ticket for Oklahoma
The Bulletin is entirely right Radicals on both sides are
in the minority but have the gall to butt in and take the
reins as a general thing and the devil is to pay The great
majority are ready to listen to reason and prefer peace but
the redicals howl them down and then drive to a general
smashup from which they themselves usually escape unhurt
It is the conservative majority and the public who suffer and
pay the bills In organizations of all kinds whether indus-
she had a trial political or otherwise the majority can rule or course
Burglars Take Only"

Burglars played a practical
joke on themselves here last

back ejid of the Ike Sine cloth-

of bankrupt goods had just
been sold removed some empty
boxes which they are presumed
to have thought contained valu-
able goods and left doing no
other damage than breaking a
window in the back of the
store
The boxes had been placed
there carelessly at the close of
business Saturday The stock
of goods was sold and the sale

Marrying a man to reform him is about as sensible as
celebrating the Fourth of July by shooting Roman candles
into a powder factory There is a bare possibility of getting
away with it in either case but the odds are slightly against
the experimenter
Judge R L Williams recently advised parents to use
less salve and more cowhide on their erring youngsters if they
wanted to keep them out of the courts The trouble is that the
great majority of parents will consider that this advice should
be applied by their neighbors that their own children are
not in need of it We are reminded of a lady in Texas who had
a son in whom she saw more to approve than did the neigh-
bors A friend who had not seen her in a year or two asked
her where her boy was She replied: “The people were so
hard on the poor boy that he just had to leave” On being
asked for particulars Bhe gave this version: “Oh he just shot
a fellow last Christmas and wouldn’t have done that if he
handj)t been drunk' but the people were so much against the
poor dear that he coldn’t stay here”
but seldom asserts itself hence the chance of the redical min-
ority to push itself into the front rank and run things to the
detriment of all others concerned
In the game of life it is as important to prove one’s self
a good loser as it is to be a good winner Life is a game of
ups and downs the real test being to get up again when
downed instead of remaining down until the referee counts
the fateful ten A good loser can accept a reverse with a good
grace but is ready to try another round on short notice
Wouldn’t it help matters quite a bit if when a criminal
conviction is sustained on appeal the penalty assessed in the
lower court was automatically doubled? It is certain that
there would not be so many appeals and delays under a
system like that
