The road to normalcy In rough. The New

IMed during the war ban not fully abated.
l'erhap an Intelligent people never followed
a more Inexcusable theory or worshipped a more
false god than thl daylight Having bnslnew. To
ank the leglalntlvn department to enact a law
permitting men and women to do what they
nlwnyn have had thn right to do approaches the
ridiculous. Yet tlmt Is nil there ever wnn to

That the enactment of such law disjointed

Kdltor World: Much tuff ha nppenred In
the nuwnpeporn recently that make mo won-
dor If wo are now living In tho America of
our fnthern. Makes tun wonder it American
Ideal have changed. MakeH mo wonder it th
writer know anything of American history.
Hlnee childhood I have fondly belloved tho
cardinal principle of rterllng Americanism to
bo nn Inborn sympathy with any nation strug-
gling for freedom from the intolernblo yoke
of foreign npprennlon. llelleving thin hn made
me an Irish nympnthtrer. How tun mioh belief
make me pro-Herman?
Acting on that premise the United Stolen
government ha been the flrnt to recognUe new
govm nmentn Ntruggllng In tho swaddling
cIoUich of freedom. Thus wns Oreece nl-
thouIi a kingdom recognized. Also tho re-
public of France tho republic of Argentlnn
Mexico of republlcn everywhere. In no In-
stance did It lead to war nor wa It considered
an unfriendly art.
Judging from the nforementloncd writings
our government munt hnvo mnde n serlotiH nnd
a grevlotiH mistake In till policy .followed for
over a century. America must no longor ?
looked to nn a beacon light of hope for small
nations struggling for Independence. To ask
our republic to recognise the duly organized re-
public of I rotund becomes trenson to America.

Mr. Kdltor why not collect tho Interest Eng-

During tho flrt 17 days of the legislature
he never missed a roll call but wim always; on

linger and Mr. Hell will nay that Mr. Hell
for 20 dny nt least lobbied for thin bill and
worked untiringly against an overwhelming ma-
jority nnd eventually managed to put It over.

for thn last time Mr. Hell got a message that

persecuted nlong about the first few centuries.
Thousand of person lost their live defending

OKLAHOMA. CITY. March 12.
Dosing of the legislative week find
thn lion so Investigating committee
doing all of the limelighting nnd
making n bid for tho high spot for
tho coming week.
Tho tentacle reaching out from
tho report of this committee have
of course caused other department
to comu In for a share of attention
anil tho senute hn been kept busy
by the fire of house reports now
coming in and recolvlng attention.
Tho house Investigator took nn
awful lap at Attorney-tleneral
Frecllng for permitting fjeorgo Short
to remain n nn nsnlstnnt nttorney-
general while the latter admits that
be hn been compensated by ono nf(
tho largo lumber companies nf tho
southwest. Tho report wa in the
wny of censure but It carries with
It tho significance that fnlluro to
heed the commllteo tuny bring on
even moro severe nml moro Im-
portnnt chnrgen from tho members
of tho probe body.
The houmi prosecutor In tho
Trupp caso nre Matthew of Clare-
inure; I Take of waironer and bco-
fleld of Ktllwell. In addition the
prnbo committee has hnd tho legnl
service of Judge Kornngny of VI-
nlta and John Kmbry of Oklahoma
City.
It I Just beginning to dnwn on all
stntehouse people that thl com
mllteo is very much in earnest ana
the chnrgo that It is a partisan body
doe not find ready credence for
there have been no two men on tho
probing trip moro in enrnent than
ICIng of Frederick and Newman of
Duvant democrat of long standing
ami Newman I among the oldest
legislator In Horvlco today. Perhaps
no single Individual hns hnd moro
to do with advancing tho chnrges
nnd striving for their standing up
than Ncwmnn and very certainly no
person In this stnto Is moro cordlnlly
hated by thoso being inveatlgnted
tbnn he. Newman nn State Trens-
urer Arthur I.eoernft are both from
Hryan county but thnt ha not
changed tho aspect of tho treasurer's
status with tho committee.
Hut tho great surprise to all of
thono concerned hnn been Speaker
Schwabo of Nowata lie 1 young
and for n time the old time leader
of politic were of the opinion that
the veteran of the senate would be
ablo to outgeneral him. Moreover
when tho house wn first organized
tho republican members wero not
aciiunlnted with ench other and tho
speaker assumed command with n
divided house nmong members of hi
own party nnd the vast majority of
that membership untrained to legln-
Intlve work nnd knew little nbout
leglslntlve procedure.
Naturally the trained democrats
of the senate expected to bo able
to master the eltuntlon nnd to fur-
ther fortify their strength the dem-
ocrntli' minority In the house had a
lnrge oumber of old legislator.
Rome of them veterans of many
political battle.
Hen Hnrrlton Clint Ornhnnt W.
R. Disney Horry Miller I'enrson of
llollls nnd others have been sea-
soned In the game nnd for the first
three weeks theso old tlmo legisla-
tor made Scbwabe'a colt weat leg-
lslntlve blood.
Slowly patiently nnd with cnutlon
the speaker has been able to get hi
Inexperienced men Into n fighting
line nnd ho ha nlso demonstrated
that his side of tho houno can check-
mate the senate and bold tho lino
against oddH. Schwabo has nrrlved
nnd tn nrrlvlng brought nlong n
bunch of trouble for tho domocratlc
state machine men thnt fortcllsnlot
of work. Tho smiles of derision
which first greeted the Rpeakccr nnd
his untrained co-worker have
changed to frowns and tho stnto
house organization has awahened to
the fart that it must contend against
men who were 'olocttVt for tho pur-
pose nf "looking over thn books"
nnd who nro going nbout that busi-
ness In a methodic nnd painful (to
the organization) manner.
This la tho program of war which
Schwabo and hlu men have arranged
for tho statehouso peoplo who a
month ago wero ho nrrogunt:
Impenchment trial of Lieutenant-
Governor M. 12. Trnpp
Probablo impunchment trial of
the governor certain It ho falls to
comply with request from tho house
committee
Impeachment trial for Stnte
Treasurer I.eecraft
Demand for removal of that lenst
twff member of the state board of
affair and one of tho high clerks
of that department
Demand fry removnl of Assistant
Attorney-tlenernl George Short-
Demand for removal of Highway
Commissioner Henry Wood nnd
three nf III assistant (ono already
resigned) -
That is somowbnt of a program
anil the probability of its being
shortened.
Tho senato' flying erjuadrnn Is
looking for a way out that may nve
Governor Hobertson some humilia-
tion. It Iiuh before ono of Its com-
mittee tho iiuontlon of confirma-
tion of mnny gubernntorlnl np-
polntee nnd by a hurried refusal to
conform them might enable tho
governor to dlsmls thorn on th"
ground that they hnd. failed to
meet tho approval of tho senato.
This however would not apply
to ono member of the stnte board
of affairs who ha nlrendv been
confirmed. The house Investigating
committee ha the right to file Im-
peachment charge ngnlnst nn elec-
tive officer who refuses to dl-
charge an nppolnteo after charges
have been filed against the latter.
Strong I'r.dcri'iirrciit
Thnt thero is a strong undercur-
rent I bevond question. It 1 true
there are prophets going about do-
clnrlng this or thut will or win not

Neither can It be denied thnt they
