that will be violated," says the anti. and the very
fact that the law is placed upon the statute books,
with a penalty for its violation, is pretty good evi-
dence that, the enactors expected it to be violated.
A law which has never been violated has no place
on the statute books.
Some of the staudpat Republican and conservative
Democratic organs, which by the way are synon-
ymous, are making complaint that Governor Wilson,
of New Jersey, is spending his time running for
president and neglecting the dutes of his office. But
the civic criminals of J$ew Jersey cannot agree with
these critics, for they know that Wilson is a busy
man and that he is doihg things. Wilson is being
widely advertised, o^ rather his work is being wide-
ly advertised, and this comes down on the standpats
at a place where it hurts. The trouble is. the people
see something in Wilson, and they are pushing him
along. But aside from what the people are doing or
can do for Wilson, he stands a* national figuc in his
oiyn right; and whether he receives the Democratic,
nomination for the presidency or not, he is a mighty
preacher for righteousness and his influence can be
left out. of the count only at the national peril
Fixed stars are self-luminous " Wilson is with
put variableness or shadow of turning.
,The Florida legislature has parsed an anti-race
track betting law. The vote in the lower house was
61 to 1 in favor of the bill. Still the world grows
wuss and wuss." It is even getting to be a popular
idea that the state has no right to license evil.
But it may be written down as a fact that not one
"man of millions" in a thousand believes that "the
only thing in life worth while is to help other men
and to help them so that they can take care of
themselves." The thousand and first man is. figura-
tively. the camel that passes through the needle's
eye.—Oklahoinan. .
The Oklahoman evidently has the "altruism" of
Dives mixed up with the egoism of Lazarus. We
are, however, ready to accept, in the main, the
populistie dialectics of the foregoing editorial. And
we present it here, with reeommncdations, to our
readers. Sam Jones once said, in reply to the
charge that he was receiving enormous amounts for
his sermons and lectures: "Yes; ami if I were as
mean as some of you fellows, I would be a million-
aire today." But Sam Jones was an unselfish man.
Most any man of average intelligence could be rich
if willing to pay the price. And this is not arguing
that riches and dishonesty go together. But the
man \yljp loves money for money's sake and hoards
it,!isvnet>, by* a jug full the best citizen in the com-
munity.

F. Af. Ready, one of our readers at Sanger,
Texas, takes us to task on the Bailey matter as
follows:
"l^see in the Herald of May 4th an article whlch

the tyre.' I suggest to the Herald not to"worry
about Mr. Bailey; be is already .to the fore ana tbe
peopl« of Texas will see to It that"he'stays there,
notwithstanding the flings and criticisms of the
grew'papers like Hollis Herald to tbe^conti^ry."
Theiaxti^ie which stirred Mr. Re&dy'sBaileyism
wrfk not intended as a criticism of Mr. Bailey.
In faqt, the editor of the Po«t Herald has always
been accused of being a Bailey partisan. But as
a matter of fact, we are neither Bailey nor anti-
Bailey. We have never pinned our faith'to.tbe
coat tail of any man's political ambitions. And this
leaves us free to choose our course, unhampered
by partisan prejudice; While We hive always'been"
a great admirer of Senator Bailey, we cannot en-
d orse hi$ non progressive legislative policy.
