RAY FAVORITE Oklahoma news
- ITA paper is the Oklahoma City
News I think it is one of the
best edited newspapers that
comes to my desk
On the front page of the Olcla
boma City News—etery day—the
'" editor E A Evans writes to
tny notion the most interesting
column that is produced in an
' Oklahoma newspaper office
Re heads his column "The
Referee"
- -
' And he puts in between para
graphs a lot of just like
I'm doing so it makes it easy
' to read ttnd dolls up the column
to distinguish it from straight
news
This column hits me square in
the face every time I read the
' Oklahoma News which is often
I like it so much that I'm min
ing not only the idea but style
' of "The Referee" column
' If Evans originated the style
and idea — whivh he didn't — I
apologize
mow I'm a modest young fellow
L I but I'll he honest enough to
admit that I'm pleased and proud
ever what Nichols says
Praise from a fellow editor is
praise indeed and to learn that
anything of mine is considered
- worthy of imitation—the sincerest
flattery—gives me a thrill
"The Referee" column has been
Imitated before but never with
acknowledgements and never with
even sthe hint of an apology
0
Nichols is correct in saying that
the present writer didn't originate
the style and Idea of the column
Old readers of The News know
that G B Parker—"Deak" Parker
--who for many years was editor
of this paper deserves that credit
My 'hardest job has been to
carry it on and try to keep it up
to the standard he set
It was Parker's notion that the
editor ought to be a teal personality
in his paper rather than a shadowy
figure in the background So he
began writing just about as he
would talk in the first person
singular setting forth his thoughts
and ideas concerning people and
events
have beard newspapers criticized
because as the critics say they
make themselves organs for the
expression of personal opinions But
after all if newspapers are to ex
tress any opinions at all they must
Is "personal opinions"
And at least 'when my personal
pinions are expressed under my
Initials in this column readers
bave an opportunity to know that
one man is responsible for them
That man is not especially gifted
With wisdom and not at all learned
He makes a lot of mistakes He
doesn't expect that everybody will
agree with everything he says
r
i I3ut -the knowledge that this
Column is waiting for him to fill
every morning does make him think
I about what he sees and hears and
I reads and that is good for him
If his thoughts as he sets them
down stimulate others to think—
I even if only to the extent of dia-
1 ' I agreeing with him — perhaps the
li eolumn is worth the space It
occupies Nichols of The Bristow
' Becord seems to believe so any
it way
t
i VES I followed my own advice to
I A the extent of attending my pre
d Mild caucus INednesday night
1 But now I'm not so sure whether
' I really accomplished anything by
! going or whether I was passhig
out blab when I assured clti2ens
" generally that they could perform
a great civic function by taking
part In the caucuses
1': Therewere lall oather persons pre
r nt at the meeting In my precinct
x Two of them were city officials
and seven or eight others were rein
A tives or close friends of these of-
0 ficials All I could do—or at
least all I did do—was to vote for
ll the men and women whom the of-
ficiate their friends and relatives
''' seemed to want sent as delegates
y to the county convention
I
I'm not 'criticizing the officials
) for being there with friends and
relatives enough to control the
meeting Indeed they deserve
u praise for showing so much Inter

rat and for taking advantage of
an opportunity that others neT

It r had organized a dozen of

' didn't find time or take time to

And the delegates who were
elected are able and honest men
ttend women I doubt whether my
X friends and I could have chosen
a better set or whether the ones
we might have chosen would have
!c known as well how to go about
making their Influence felt in the
county convention among a thou-

By Friends Now
Enited Prom
NEW YORK Aug 26—Rudolph
Valentino W118 in peace today
Up in the splendor of the' gold
room of the Campbell funeral home
here the movie actor who died on
Monday rested in his silver-bronze
casket flowers of his friends
around him and the quiet of the
room
No policeman stood by to order
a milling excited curious throng
to "move on—give the others a
chance"
No guards watched the passing
throng
There 'was not a living person
In the room
The casket was kept closed
Only Friends Admitted
Only at intervals the door was
unlocked and some former asso-
ciate of Valentino walked slowly
through and to the bier to offer
a prayer or a flower
Valentino at last had been re-
moved from the confusion which
75000 curious people had created
up to midnight last night
George Ullman Valentino's rep-
reeentattve announced he would is-
sue 500 cards for the funeral Mon-
day at St Malachi's church which
sits in the heart of Broadway and
where the actor folks of the
Catholic faith worshipped
These cards will go only to Val-
entino's friends to movie folk and
to persons of note who might wish
to attend
Burial Undecided
The question of burial place still
remained undecided Ullman has
received scores of messages urging
Valentino be buried in Hollywood
A final ' charge of mounted po-
lice was needed shortly before mid-
night to clear the streets Of a
crowd of 5000 which sought admis-
sion to view the body although
George tilMan Valentino's mana-
ger had announced that the doors
would then be closed due to "lack
of reverence of the crowd and dis-
order and rioting since the body
was first shown"
Due to the demonstrations of the
past few day' plans to a state
funeral have been abandoned

The bandits wearing overalln and
unmanked escaped in a Chevrolet
touring car and a Buick roadster
Baker said
According to an incomplete check
of the banks the banditti got about
410000 and the rifles and revolvers
kept in the banks
There is difference of opinion
about how many were in the gang
Some say there were five although
most of the persons who saw them
leave town say there were eight
Robberies Weil Planned
The robberies were well planned
Not & shot was fired
With men left in the cars out
side the bandits entered the Ameri-
can State bank first They an
flounced to Eddie Fitzgerald cash-
ler that they were there to get the
banks money
The cashier and 24 persons were
ordered into the vault while the
bandits scooped up the money and
left A bandit guarded the front
door of the bank while the others
calmly walked across the street and
entered the Covington National
bank
Here they forced the cashier
Wallace Melvin and his assistant
W T Henry into the vault and
put the available money into a
sack
The engines of the cars outside
were running and the bandits got
away in a hurry
The alarm was given and posses
organized
Officers in surrounding towns
were notified Several reports of
the bandit cars being seen were
received from farmers south of
here but by the time officers ar-
rived the bandits were gone
"Mean Business"
"We mean business but will
harm no One It you obey orders"
the leader told Fitzgerald in the
American State robbery
"lave them what they want"
Fitzgerald—warned his co-workers
Then Fitzgerald was handed a sack
and told to put the available cash
in it He obeyed
"Just be quiet please" the guard
told the bankers employes and
customers "We will give further
orders t'hen we are through with
the bank across the street"
Inquiring at the second bank for
the boss the leader gave terse or
dere while Melvin sacked all the
silver and currency in the bank
As the seven bank employes and
customers were ordered into the
vault a touching scene took place
Mrs Lucy Lately 70 operator
of a boarding house in the Garber
oil field was noticed
"Did we take your money?" the
leader asked
"Yes" Mrs LeRoy replied
"Well you need not go in the
sank Just sit down in that rocker
in the back room but be quiet"
She obeyed
Gives Money Back
Then the leader tudied Melvin
what belonged to the layman
"Those four checks for $677 5
each were hers" Melvin said "She
was cashing them for the boys in
the oil field"
"Well we don't want money not
insured" the leader said-
He then walked to the window
where Melvin had laid the checks
and returned all four to Mrs Le
Roy
The employes and customers six
in all were then ordered into the
vault of the Covington bank The
door failed to lock and when Mel
vitt heard no noise he opened it
but he acted too quickly The rob
bers were just leaving the bank
and made a threatening move and
the door was closed again
The sheriff's office and police
station here were notified to be
on the lookout for the bandits
Descriptions of only two were re-
ceived One man was described as
about five feet seven inches tall
wearing a light shirt straw hat

tion is of a man about five feet
