PETITION NOT ATTACKED
Unable To Find Any Weak
Point in Document
From The Dellas News:
Oklahoma Okla Sept 20 — It
aeema improbable now that any
protest will be lodged against the
initiated petition filed Sept 12 for
a "fair election law” The peti-
tions have been gone over very
carefully by leading eemccrats and
by the law firm of Ledbetter
Stnart & Bell with a view to find-
ing some place where an attack
might be made It is understood
that tbe petitions have been found
regnlar and as there are 30000
more names signed tbaD are need-
ed it wonld seem impossible to
reduce tbe number by elimination
to a point that would make the
petition insufficient As Sept 22
is tbe last day for filing protests
under the law allowing but ten
days for this step it appears that
nothing further can he done at
this time
Democrats are very much exer-
cised ovtj tbe proposed law which
is an amendment to the codsMiu-
tion and proposes an equal control
of election boards by tbe three
leading political parties Under
existing laws the party in control
of the state government dominates
the election machinery It has
been tbe practice in this state for
the governor— always a democrat
— to name two democrats and one
republican on tbe state election
board and tbe republican member
is freqnently what the republican
leaders term "an assistant demo-
crat” The proposed amendment pro-
vides that each of tbe three parlies
highest in voting strength shall
choose its own member of tbe state
board as well as each countv and
precinct board Of course this
means that democrats republicans
and socialists shall each have equal
repre -nta'ion on these hoards the
lie iUd i- I j j : h-irig se
leci' il chairman of the party or
ganization fur the state count! or
precinct
It is claimed that the petitions
on file are signed indiscriminately
by democrats socialists and repub-
licans While tbe movement was
initiated by tbe socialists there Is
every reason to believe that it has
tbe support of many repnblicaus
and a Urge number of democrats
The elections in November are
not more important than primary
elections in Angnst There have
been more bitter recriminations
among candidates over tbe result
of the primary election than over
the general election following
The Selection machinery of the
state uuder the present law is in
the hauds of that faction of the
democratic party in power and it
is the belief of the factions ont of
office that they wonld fare better
under election boards composed of
a!l three parties than under boards
controiled bv one faction of the
democratic party
Tbe democratic organization in
this state has carefully considered
the situation They wonld like if
possible to prevent a vote on the
amendment for they fear the re-!
suit but thev are not likely to take
any action that may give rise to
the charge that they have sought
by Bharp practice to defeat the
will of the signers of this big peti-
iin to have it submitted to tbe
people for their action So it may
be expected that the amendment
will be submitted to the voters at
the primary election to be held
next August and tbe opposition
will try to defeat it at the polls

One of the greatest opportunities fn
tlie business life of the nation lies
in practical co-operation of the coun-
try banks with tbe farmer in building
agriculture and the adventure U laden
with greater possibilities than auy
forward movement now before the
American public
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rate of intcri9t
and ofttimes without compensation to
buy blooded livestock build silos
fertilize the land secure better seed
hold their products for a betetr mar-
ket price etc The banker in con-
tributing toward improving tho grade
of livestock the quality of tbe seed
ana the fertility of the soil plants in
the agricultural life of the community
a fountain of profit that like Tenny-
son s brook runs on aud on forever
Community Progress a Bank Asset
The time was when money loaned
rn such a basis would severely test
tbe sanity of the banker such trana
actions would pain the' directors like
a blow in the face A cashier who
would dare to cast bread upon waters
that did not return buttered side up
In time for annual dividends ' would
have to give way to a more capable
man This does not necessarily mean
tfat tbe bankers are getting any better

Hearn tbe night operator for the
Frisco at Antlers was beaten into
nneonsetonsness by thieves aud the
depot robbed of about $3000
D Taylor was arrested Friday
night by Sheriff Winson but was
released for want of evidence
Saturday night Ed Hembree ' neB

cornerstones of empires They are
not philanthropists they are wise
bankers The spirit of the builder
has given them a new vision and
wisdom has visited upon them busi-

The cackle of the hen tbe low
of kine and the rustle of growing
crops echo in every bank vault In the
nation and tbe shrewd banker knows
that be can more effectively increase
his deposits by putting blue blood ia
the veins of livestock quality in
tbe yield of the soil and value Into
agricultural products than by busi-
handshakes overdrafts and
gaudy calendars

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

the church bells call the communicants

Paris Commercial College will be
unable to supply tbe demand that
will be made for its graduates this
year Tbe fitiaucial depression
caused practically all business
bouses to reduce tbeir office forces
to the minimum and when tbe
leduotion came tbe least compe-
tent help was dismissed A
slight improvement in business
conditions requires that some of
this office help be replaced and of
course replaced with trained men
and women Inasmuch as the
Paris Commercial College stresses
thoroughness business men prefer
help from this school
