They have to be urged. More
'than that, it may be necessary
to shut down WPA projects in
many counties during the cotton
picking season in order to get
the labor into the fields.
Since Stephens has given WPA
clients the assurance that those
who leave the rolls to pick cot-
ton will be given priority when
they need their old jobs back,
he ought to go evert further and
close the works down where
necessary to get the labor off
of the public pay roll and into
private employment when there
is work to do.
Cotton picking isn't easy work.
Those who ire in more comfort-
able WPA berths are not going
to swarm to the cotton fields as
to a holiday. They should be
forcibly eliminated from the
rolls, however. If enough do not
volunteer to fill the labor needs
of every cotton plantation in
Oklahoma.

TP Charley Chaplin really has to give
1 up pantomime and kill the most
lovable character in screen history
because silent films are dead, he
ought to retire with his big shoes,
baggy pants and hip-hippety walk.
Chaplin announced Tuesday that
his old tramp character is finished,
that he will essay a talking film
in an entirely new screen personality.
Chaplin doesn't need the money.
. He is a very rich man. He could at-
ford to direct his own company and
withdraw if he cannot act in the
role that this generation loves him in.
Moreover we think there still is
room for Chaplin's kind of tomfoolery.
Despite the popularity of the sound
track. there is nothing that displays
greater artistry than pantomime and
Chaplin is the undoubted master in
that branch of showmanship
We protest the death of Chaplin's
mournful little tramp and register
our small desire to see him skid
around many a corner before the cur-
tain finally is drawn upon his genius.

‘TOM PENDERGAST. political boss
A of Kansas City, caught In an ex-
pansive mood by a reporter for the St
Louis Post-Dispatch while on vaca-
tion at Colorado Springs, talked en-
tertainingly about politics and ma-
chines.
Without identifying it as such, he
gave the secret of machine control of
cities in this paragraph:
When it comes to getting out the
vote, the place to watch to the pre-
cinct. That's where all elections
are won—right in the precincts.
Get out the vote in the precincts
and the wards will take care of
them selves
That Mme argument goes for St.
Louis, Oklahoma City, or any other
community The boes plays the pre-
cinct. The boss has an organizer in
every precinet. He works after elec-
tion day is over. He keep* the cogs
greased when the good citizen who
thinks nothing about politics except
on election day, thinks he is tending
to his cwn business. Then he awakens
the day after the vote to find that the
boes Is in control. The precinct wins
elections, but the work there isn't
done on election day, it is going on
every day.

Deficit is Shown
Blinn also criticized Sumpter's fail-
ure to make a new bond after his ad-
mission on the witness stand that his
sureties are dead.
"This constitutes the wont kind of
neglect, especially in view of the
guardian's statement that he owns no
property," said Blinn.
During a hearing a week ago,
Sumpter produced a financial state-
ment showing he had received 33.329
from the estate but had spent 33.371
for his ward's expenses during the
period.
Kalb Named Guardian
This 32.042 deficit Blinn charged to
Sumpter and at the same time denied
permission to sell the real estate to
make up the difference.
He appointed the younger Kolb to
take over the duties of guardianship
under a 82.000 bond. Sumpter had
served since Aug. 25, 1917
Value of the Kolb properties has
been estimated variously from 87,500
to 814,000.
