THE "ANVIL CHORUS" IN OK LA
HOMA.
You may have heard the discordant
noise made by the famous "Anvil
Chorus" wbkh has been touring Okla-
hoina for a number of yers. Indeed
it is difficult to tee how you could
fail to hear it if you have any ears at
all. Doubtless nobody would seriously
argue that it is music and certamtly it
ia far from entertaining.
Harlow's Weekly recently printed an
article cs this subject and prefaced it
with thb following'.
"One of the stronger char:cterfs-
tics of Oklahoma is a disposition to
succeed by depreciating the other fel-
lowthe policy of destroying instead
of excelling. This; tendency has per-
meated our politics our business our
professions and in some instances even
our schools; in fact 'practically all
avenues of intercourse are Infected
with it. Merit and intrinsic value are
eclipsed by personalities and partis-
anistu intrigue and deception. Cold
dispassionate impersonal judgment is
not the dominant factor that it should
be. The outgrowth of a 'hammer-and-tongs"
policy in this state has been to
give the superficial a decided advant-
age over the real; to bring about a
rotitinuoua wrestle between the arti-
ficial and the genuine. To say nothing
of what It has done to our politics it
hail succeded at least metaphorically
if not literally in smashing tho finer
ethics of our professions ; practically
placing art and genius and learning
upon the plan of pigs' feet and pota-
toes. "No matter to what heights a man
has elevated himself by bis endeavor
or merits he Is not Immune from the
most vicious Imputations if he becomes
a competitor or gets in the way oi
another man's ambitions to get busi-
ness or succeed in any other enter-
prise. It Is illustrated dally In many
ways and places and is tbe most un
fortunate tendency In the state today."
To the above the Guthrie Leader
adds this comment:
"We doubt if any single thing has
operated against Oklahlma so much
us this state characteristic. It used
to be said in the old Republican days
that there was no Republican in the
state against whom charges of the
vilest sort supported by innumerable
affidavits could not be filed (mediately
if bin name was connected with a pros-
pective appointment. Undoubtedly
this was true and it is just as true
now of Democrats. This has resulted
in destroying the confidence of the
general public In the Integrity of Okla
noma citizens but beyond that and
even more important than that it has
destroyed the confidence of our own
people in their neighbors especially
when one of t'aose neighbors happens
to hold any sort of official position.
We seriously doubt If with the present
state of mind in Oklahoma any man
in the state could be appointed to a
yuan iuii ui irubi wnnoui navmg at I
least one fourth of the people automat
Ically regard him with suspicion."

GERHARD A JOKER.
It has been coursing around in the
comedy department of our cranium for
a couple of weeks or more and we
can't get rid of it What we are think-
ing about ia the delicious brand of Her-
man humor which Dr. Oerhard emis-
sary of Ambassador Bernstorff. dished
to his countrymen recently on his ar-
rival JnBejln.
Drj Gjirknid . wa commissioned by
the ambassador to put his home gov-
ernment "next" telling the German of.
flclals exactly the status of public
opinion in America and precisely how
the United States stands on questions
at issue between the two countries.
His duty 'being more or less In the
nature of pouring oil on troubled wa-
ter we would naturally expect him to
do a little "Jollying" but we were
scarcely prepared to see him spring
such a sparkling bit of humor as he
got off in a statement that was pub-
lished by the Berlin press.
Dr. Gerhard told 'em that with the
exception of the German-American
press very few of the newspapers in
America were observing the spirit of
neutrality. Thia remark could be
taken seriously only on the supposition
that a newspaper can be neutral only
by taking the strictly German view
Dr. Gerhard is "gome" Jokesmith.

FINIS FOR HOLT
The Holt sensation was a short-lived
one ended by the act of the principal
in it. The story occupied far more
space in the papers than its intrinsic
importance Justified. Its human in-
terest element the motive of ' the
man and the prominence of Morgan
all combined to make a strong appeal
to the morbidly curious. That Holt
was mentally unbalanced there can be
no question. Nobody but a manias
could have been moved to attack Mor-
gan foi" such a purpose as Holt said
he had In mind. It Is doubtless Just
as well for the unfortunate man that
his career ended as it did. His case
calls for pity rather than condemnation.

Tin is to prove that you
can't judge tires by looks.
Here are two Goodyear
tires seemingly identical. But
one is built like many of its
rivals. Goodyear extras are
omitted. The other has those
hidden values. And those un-
seen extras on this year's out-
put will cost us $1635000.
This year's betterments
alone add to our cost $500-
000 yearly. Yet our 1915
price reduction saves our
users about five million dollars.

Maintenance of Solar Heat
Discussing this well-worn subject in
the Comptes rendus M. A. Veronnet at
tempts to calculate the time the sun's
activity could be maintained by
(1) chemical action (2) Intra-atomlo
energy (radium) and S) the work of
gravitational contraction. For the first
he gets 2000 years for the second
only J70 years while for the third he
finds that gravitational contraction.
according to the well-known theory of
Helmholtz would account for several
millions of years of solar heat as de-
manded by the geological record. The
fall of meteorites into the sun could
account at most for only the four
hundredth part of the sun's heat
