DAVK M.OAB RATI:
"And now I am going to take a
shot at some follows, and among
them am n number whom 1 consider
very good frlesds of mine, whom I
would dislike very much for this
broad aids to poraunsutly disable.
But if this department bus s mis-
sion It is to speak the truth as it
see It. so get ready, aim- fire!
"I am shooting at you fellow*
who have a habit of congregating at
certain places on the street*,
thoughtlessly using loud, vulgar or
profane language, ogling the ladies
and other pedcstralns as they pass
between your ranks, and In the in-
terim spitting tobacco juice all over
the landscape!
"Not that it hurts anything in
particular, but It Just simply isn’t
done in polite society any more.”
"Let some of the boys get out and
shoot a little craps, and tbe sheriff
la phoned for Immediately." re-
marked a man in my hearing the
other day. "but a bunch of sporta
may congregate at a ball game or
horse race and bet their heads off—
and the cewplc doll, cane rack and
wheel of fortune "gets by” with
ease at the county fair or when a
carnival comes to town but a bunch
of boys get together out on the
cieek for a game of mumble peg or
something, and the peace officer
gets out his blood hounds and trail
them to their lair."
AH THK MOTOR SUES IT.
The newspapers over in the oil
belt have been playing up a story to
the effect that Congressman E B
Howard has gone to Washington to
see about securing cars for tbe oil
men to ship their products.
The grain belt newspaper* have
been playing up the same kind of a
story, only the oil part of it la
changed to read farmers and grain.
All you fellow* who believe Mr.
Howard can relieve the car shor-
tage. please stand on your heads
Never-tbe-lesa its pretty - smooth
political dope for a fellow to put out
who Is running for congress.
And wouldn’t It be sniootb poli-
tics if the ndmlnistrntion ware in
league with the railroada to tbe ex-
tent that a democratic candidate for
congress might "made good" with
his bluff?
And speaking of Congressmen
—We heard n man bet another a
"coke,” tbe other day, that he might
go out on the street and ask the
first damoernt he met. who the con-
gressman from the First district la,
and he couldn’t tell—the "challeng-
ing party” won the bet.
But say—this man Howard will
hare to ‘think up” something more
effective than cars for the farmers
and oil men if he beats Bert Chan-
dler "to it” at the general election
in November—especially If the Tul-
sa World continues to “boost” for
Howard and "Knock" on Chandler
A FAIR EXCHANGE
The latest effort at newspaper
space grafting noted by the Repub-
lican, comes from a ginlk up in Mis-
souri who signs himself Dr Some
thlng-or-other. He encloses a clip-
ping about some bird who. he as-
sures us, is an eminent surgeon,
and uggeats that we tand our read-
ers I will doubtless be greatly inter-
ested to kn9«- how one of the na-
tion’s greatest surgeons spends his
play time He states that Dr Saw
bonds is well known to most every
physician of his cull in Ok!s.. and
that he has a large acquaintance in
medical circles. Etc Etc He was
so generous as to enclose a stamped
enveldpe In which to mall him a
copy of the clipping after we had
printed It in the Republican
Now we are going to uae this
stamped envelope to mail him a clip-
ping from this paper In regard to
tbe junior editor of this paper tak-
ing bis vacation. We will assure
him that the Junior has a large ac-
quaintance among the newspaper
men of the state, that he stands
high In musical elreles and that we
would esteem It a great favor If he
would hare the attached clipping
printed in his local paper In as
prominent position as possible, be-
lieving It will be of great interest to
tbe readers of same.
The Locust IJrove Times was
moved last week, and in tbe mixup
of moving, Editor Crofford Allen
lost his subscription bocR He had
to depend on bis memory In sending
the Inst Issue of hi* paper out to
subscribers. Editor Allen bas a
good memory, hut admit* that he
may have missed one or two names
DELCO-LIGHT
UffTMC (•
I will have to admit that there is
a considerable element of truth in
the above remarks. Not that 1 wish
particularly to defend the practice
and evident pleasure of "shooting
craps" for money, but it makes me
sort of peeved to think of the many
perfectly good dimes which I and
other staid and respectable mem-
bers of society have sacrificed at the
altar of the kewpie doll at the in-
nocent behest of eager kiddies, who
could not see that it was as much of
a gamble to place a dime on a num-
ber and spin a wheel as it is to stake
money upon the "rolling hones."
And while I am on the subject, I
might say that so long as the law
accords a man the privilege or wor-
shiping according to his own views
ot religion, the law ought to protect
him in U. In other words, rowdies
ought noi to be allowed to disturb
teligious services, as has been done
on several occasions during the
’Holy Roller" revival which closed
Sunday night.
I heard a lady remark the other
day (you know how women are that
wayj ”1 have been living In Prpor
,ix months, and not a single lady
from the —church has railed on me.
Ladies from both tbe other
churches, to which I do not belong,
have called, but not a one from the
church. No wonder they hare
such a hard time keeping things go-
ing"
cratlc nominee for president, and had
him arretted,for "speeding.” Now
wouldn't that Jar you1? Tbo repub-
licans'ought to have better aenae
than to pull off such n "raw" deni!
la these piping timet of demo-
cratic "prosperity" the poor printer
tnan Is considered a plutocrat if he
has more than n ream of print pap-
er In stock. And now the railroads
are going to raise freight rates so Itj
will be up to the printer to get hls^
little Jag of paper by parcel post.
Now that pre-convention person-
alities are beginning to fade, all the
Republican men of influence feel
that the selection of Harding was
the best he pary could muke. All
of us feel bat we can go out and
right for Harding's election with a
clean faith In his unalterable Ameri-
canism and his sterling honesty, his
unquestioned ability and hla strong
party allegiance.
Which reminded nte that, as a
general thing the church or today
1« hardly filling the place which
rightfully belongs to it. Oh yes,
they still tesch the gospel inside the
church doors, hut too often the
church influence is not carried into
the home* during the week
la there sickness or need in some
home? As a usual thing, which is
first l« answer, the church or the
lodge? Except for isolated instan-
ce*. the lodge beats the church to
It that is. as an organization In-
dividual church members will fre-
quently drop in. but seldom in the
name of the church. I don't pretend
to be doing my part toward rem-
edying this condition, but it’s a con-
dition which exists, just the same.
They say the average cost per
family per year for transportation
on the railroada under the new
rates, will be something like 1205.
Now just watch me get busy and
save about 1305 during (he coming
annum.
S-ah! Whisper it aoftly. If
some of our local democratic poli-
ticians get next, there won't he a
chance to carry Mayes county for
the republican lit-kel this fall- the
republicans down at Wheeling. West

UTLEY"S
GARAGE
Senator Harding I* » practical
man He believes in the alrength
of organlaed minds and brains act-
ing in unison. He haa been a tren-
chant critic of autocratic govern-
ment. In all his public acta he has
been governed, by the wisest coun-
sel he could gel. Like Lincoln. Mc-
Kinley and other great Republican
party cbleflains. he believes in sur-
rounding the executive with the
strongest men available.
The "Old Man" of the Republican
shop has been doing the "wrltin"
for the paper this week, and not-
withstanding the fact that an ex-
cellent likeness of out illustloua rel-
ative is pasted on the wall above
our desk, we find it mighty hard
sleddin'. The young man who usu-
ally chases the festive item and
manipulates the wrltin' machine
couldn't stand it any longer without
paying a visit to his native state—
Kansas. We'll admit there la a
wonderful attraction up there for a
man of hit temperment.
Heard a couple of men arguing the
other day. on politics. One aaid:
•Ohio Is sure to go for Cox, for hasn't
Cox beaten Harding twice for govern-
or of Ohio?” The other man was
"stumped." He didn't even know
thst Harding and Cox were never
opponents in s gubernatorial race.
The man who heat Harding for gov-
ernor of Ohio was Harmon. Cox ne-
ver has received the vote for gover-
nor that Harding has for Senator,
and when it come* to the "favorite
son" stunt. Ohio will be strong for
the republican nominee for president
lu November, as she ha* ever seen.
Governor Cox Is getting desper-
ate Now he Is trying to kid the
"deer peepul" Into believing that his
opponent hasn't enough progress in
his system to see' "beyond hi* front
porch." All right, let* carry th#
proposition to its logical conclusion.
In 1860, Abraham Lincoln stayed at
home during bis presidential cam-
paign. while Stephen A. Douglas.
I he flowery orator, made what the
Ohio governor calls an “aggressive
campaign" against him. Thereforej
Abraham Lincoln was a "moss-back
leactlonary.” with no progress in his
system.

i’ll never again complain about

try editor heard one woman say to
another, on the train tbe other day.
At the word* "mistakes In the pa-

up his ears, and inasmuch as th*
two women were sitting across the
aisle from him and were conversing
so that those who rode could hear,
he could not very well avoid taking

"I had a little experience the tr-
ill er day," tbe spuaker went on,
"which cured nte. Our editor was
sick, and since I’ve written quite a
good many things for the paper, he
asked me if I wouldn't get some
nbws for him thst wedk. I thought
It would he fun. and so I said I
would.
"Of course It happened there was
c fire In town that week, and I star-
ted out to find out about It. From
three absolutely reliable people I got
three absolutely different stories.
Finally I appealed to the chief or
<.ur department and he gave me his
version. Hie story didn't agree
with any of the other three, but 1
thought if he didn't know no one
rould, nnd so I wrote It up that
way."

from bis seat and went out on the

For the first time in the history of
Oklahoma the republican ffkrty has a
candidate for United States senator
who really thinks he has a chance to
be elected and Is preparing to mgke
a sure enough contest. Heretofore
the republican nomination for senator
has be«n more or leas of an empty
honor and so considered even by the
candidates themselves. The only o-
ther time republicans seriously con-
tested for a statewide position was
when John Field* ran for governor
agaiust Judge If. L. Williams and tbe
only thing that heat him. in addition
to the usual manipulation of
the election machinery, was a
third candidate in the field, whose
only hope wns to secure enough votes
to weaken Fields. Fields was beaten (
on "official count" by Just the num-
bei of votes this candidate received
Many republicans contended that
Fields actually won but no contest
was filed in his behalf.
