(.Marx White Ovington. in tthe New Republic.)
You care a lot about me, you men of Georgia, now that I am
dead.
You have spent thousands of dollars trying to learn who nu:
diluted my body.
You have filled the colunn of your newspapers with the
story of mv wrong.
You have broken into a pr! on and murdered a man that 1
j might be avenged.
But why did you not care fm- me when 1 was alive?
I was a child, but you shut me out of tho daylight.
You held me within four walls watching a machine that
[crashed through the air.
Endlessly watching a knife as it cut a piece ot wood.
Noise fills the place—noise, dust and the smell of oil.
I wish some of the thousands of dollars that you spent on
the trial might have kept me in shod.
A real school—the kind you build for the rich.
1 worked through the hot August days.
When you were bossing the girls, or shooting birds,
Or lounging in doorways cursing the nigger:
And you never paid me enough to buy a pretty dress.
You sometimes spoke coarsely to me when 1 went to and from
: my work;
Yes, you did, and 1 had to pretend 1 liked it.
Why did you despise me living and yet love me so now?
I think 1 know. It is like th preacher told me about Christ:
People hated Him when He was alive,
Hut when lie was dead they killed man after man tor His sake.

Dear Madam:
Y ou are perhaps thinking of getting a new sewing

show his machine. He does not have his machine
in a grip, and therefore has to get your pei missioa

ber there have been many improvements in Singer
Machines and you can do all the little tricks the!
can he done on any other. Such as tucks, rail
pleating, binding, hemming and lor plain sewin'

HI better, invite the Singer Salesman

onstrate it for you. You are under no obligation
to buy. Just a postcard will bring it.

1 it an editorial harshly criticising Governor Williams,ajudge
Riegner of the Antlers News-Record says:
"His honeyed words of 'efficiency’ and ‘economy’ are as
diametrically opposed to each other as the words ‘honesty’
and ’graft’. They are antonyms and synonyms. Effici- •**
ency and economy at the same time are an impossibility.
1 f you have efficiency you must have lots of help and help
costs money. 1 f you have economy you can save money
but the public interests are bound to suffer. You can’t
have ‘efficiency’ and ‘economy’ at the same time any
more than you can have ‘honesty’ and ‘graft, so what s
the use talking about it?”
It is regrettable that any Democratic editor in Oklahoma could
be guilty of penning those words. To say that there can be no such
thing as efficiency and economy is equivalent to saying that there
can be no such thing as hdnesty in office. By efficiency and
[economy Governor Williams means to stand for and does stand

This is the year the farmer in this state will come into his
own. The season has been fine for raising almost all crops and
the price promises to be good, a great deal higher than last year.
The cotton market is rising every day, the market gained a dollar
and a half a bale on the cotton exchange last Monday. If the farmer
will just be careful in marketing his cotton this year he will get
somewhere near 12 cents for it. Take the advice of the men
