A salient' When the Yanks have
been in France a little longer "there
won't be no such animlle."

It is not entirely our own fault
„ .. . that we get false estimates of the
From a nation of wasters we have
, ... , , merits of public men. \x hat they do
become a nation of savers and lend-
, , _ | most conspicuously Is generally what
Liberty Loan ... , '
l matters least.
How many public men have you
ers. Let the Fourth
prove it.
'Action speaks louder than words."
The actions of the Allies during the
past few weeks have certainly shout-
ed aloud to the world.
Genernl Foch is personally of
small stature, but notwithstanding,
he is at present the biggest man in
in Europe.
The Spanish influenza is said to bo
beginning a visit to this country.
Most things Spanish are not io be
sneezed at. but the influenza is an
exception.
At this season the hay fever vic-
tim ceases to be aesthetic. He can
see no beauty whatever in golden-
rod.
Our young sailor objects to being
called a "jackie." In his own par-
lance he refers to himself as a "gob."
In our view any one considering
himself a "goh" should welcome the
name "jackie."
Bids for peace according to spe-
cifications are In order, but we un-
derstand that the specifications do
not call for a german peace.
Germany has lately been the Land
ol Promise and France the Land of
Performance.
Nobody will weep for Debs' sen-
tence. Ten years or thereabouts will
give him time to think—something
that he evidently has never done.

An army cannot march nor fight
without its home support Think of
w hat the army Is doing in France.
Remember that we at home are its
support, and subscribe to your limit
for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
In order to conserve paper the
governmet has limited the usual fall
output of novels. We shall not ob-
ject. Every one who reads the news
from abroad realizes that nowadays
truth is far more interesting than
fiction.
Pity the man or the woman who
cannot merge their very spirit into
that of a good book. Though the cares
of life be great and heavy, or
though they be small and annoying,
association with out favorite author
for a short season renews our grasp
upon the practical tiling if lifp by
changing the thoughts into new chan-
nels. thereby refreshing and renew-
ing our zeal and stimulating the soul
to renewed exertion.
seen in the flesh? Two? Six? A
dozen? What was each of them do-
ing at the time? Riding in a parade,
or laying a cornerstone? And when
is a man more useless than when pa-
rading or eornerstoning?'
As a rule we in Tahlequah don't
see our public men at all, but we
hear them splash. We read about
their noteworthy activities. A states-
man climbs into the spotlight when
he puts through a piece of legislation,
and a general when he wins a battle.
At the moment of success we notice
them, but the real spade-work es-
capes us. It has already been done
When the Wright brothers became
famous their importance ended. They
were unnecessary. They were Im-
portant when no one had heard of
them except their fellow townsmen
who laughed at them for trying to
make a bird out of a gas engine.
Struggling obscurely against preju-
dice was their important work. Af-
ter recognition came any one could
carry it on.
A pict . re of an insignificant book-
keeper at his desk would not be very
different from a picture of General
Pershing tolling through reams of
typewritten records concerning trans-
portation and commissariat. After
subtracting everything that ran pos-
sibly be entrusted to subordinates,
try to estimate how much he has to
do.
A bronze statue of him accomp-
lishing the prosaic routine work that
culminated in his tremendous victor-
ies would be a faithful likeness, but
It wouldn't he worth lorking nt as a
work of art.
We have grown so familiar with
his name that we take him for grant-
ed, and fail to appreciate the magni-
tude of our debt to him. On the
fruits of his labor depended Europe's
estimate of America, and he has-had
countless opporlunities of bungling.
Lack of imagination has spated us
the tension of suspense, but now that
the crisis is past we should draw a
breath ot relief and thank heaven
that Pershing had the job.
