THE TAHLEQUAH LEADER
(SUCCESSOR TO DEMOCRATIC LEADER)
VOLUME NO. 2.
TAHLEQUAH, CHEROKEE COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1922.
NUMBER 30.
THANKSGIVING
It is good to stop and think of our blessings,
at least once a year.
But Thanksgiving also bids us forget our
worries and have a good time at home and
elsewhere.
That means bring our "best suit" forward—
in keeping with the inner spirit.
Because you live in a town that has such a re-
markably good store as the LEADER, you
don't need to worry about where to buy—you
just come to the LEADER.
Because you know the LEADER'S stock and
prices, you don't worry about the quality or
the style.
When you are ready to "doll up" for Thanks-
giving, we're ready to help ydu do it right.
Of cour.?e, you are always welcome, holidays
or any time.

persons actually making their

whether engaged in agriculture,
together with farm laborers and
! their families living elsewhere

incorporated places.
The sex ratio for the farm
population in 1D2'3 was 100.'

t tor.. In eve;y state cxcpi
'uto—West Virginia, Wyorrinf
•uid Arizona—the ratio of mole
to females was higher for the
|farm population than for the to-
. tal population, despite the fact
that the foreign-born element
'in which the males considerably
outnumber the females, is found
mainly in the cities. This also
means that larger number of
i women than of men are leaving
the farms in search cf more luc-
rative fields of endeavor. East
of the Mississippi river the high-
est ratio for any state is that
for Wisconsion, 115.7 to 100,
; while the lowest, 100.8, appears
for South Carolina. West of
the Mississippi the correspond
ing ratio ranged from 149.4 for
Nevada to 103.7 for Louisiana
In general, the ratios are higher
in the west than in the north,
and higher in the north than in
the south.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
OF WATER AND LIGHTS
FAILURE IN TAHLEQUAH
KLAN LECTURERS TO
GO INTO NEW YORK
Mr. Editor:—
With your permission, I wish
to state that I am of the opinion
that it is so far a complete fail-
ure.
In the first place, the voting
population of Tahlequah would
not have voted for the bond is-
sue which to construct a light
plant and extend the water sys-
tem to the river, had the people
known at the time that they
would pay more for Water and
lights. •
The bond issue would not
have gone thru.
As it is now, we pay more
than we did.
The consumers voted With the
firm conviction that we would
get better service and cheaper
rates. As for service, it is all
O. K. but the rates are too high,
hence no relief as to prices, thus
a failure in this respect.
In another respect, municipal
ownership ought to be more ben-
eficial for the consumers of wa-
ter and lights than furnished by
an individual or corporation, be-
cause of the fact, municipal ow-
nership ought to supply the con-
sumers for less money.
There is no use of having ow
nership if the rates are not to be
cheaper. The people would not
have to be taxed to keep up the
interest and sinking funds, in
other words, they would not be
out all this money.
THE QUESTION IS? What
are we going to do?

murder, anarchy and arson just
when our responsibility begun,
would either rob or murder, but
men of intelligence who will
shirk duty which they ought to
know will plunge the world in a
malestorm of ruin simply to
hold the balance of power are
going to have an awful time an-
swering to an outraged God, ev-
en if the reaction does not rob
them of the temporary power
thus gained.
The outstanding hope of the
nation was such strong men as
Chas. E. Hughes, before the Re-
publican partisan siren Delilah
sheared his locks of political
virtue and stultified his sense
of public duty. We think the
following editorial from the New
York World is both illuminating
and interesting.
The Tragedy of Hughes
Charles Evans Hughes, Sec-
retary of State in the Cabinet of
President Harding, will speak in
New York tonight in support of
the candidacy of Gov. Miller for
re-election. What can the leg
alistic defender of Truman H.
Newberry say which will bring
a single vote to Nathan L. Mill-
er?
Mr. Hughes needs a bill of
health from Gov. Miller much
more than the Governor needs a
bill of health from Mr. Hughes.
Whatever the Governor's politi
cal mistakes or political short-
comings may be, he has consist-
ently maintained his principles
and his policies have been faith-
ful reflections of those princi-
ples. This cannot be said for
the Secretary of State.
Mr. Hughes spoke at Boston
Monday night in behalf of Sena-
tor Lodge, and it is worth while
to study the effect of that speech
in New York.
The Times is supporting Gov
Miller, bui it repudiates Mr
Hughe's Boston speech. The
Evening Post is supporting Gov
Miller, but it repudiates Mr,
Hughe's Boston speech. The
Globe is supporting Gov. Miller,
but it repudiates Mr. Hughe'
Boston speech. The Globe re-
fers contemptuously to the Sec
retary of the State as "the at-
torney of the Administration,'
and unfortunately this is what

succeeded in buying the Senator-
hip, the Republicans would not
have been able to organize the
Senate in 1919, Lodge would not
have been Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations
and the treaty would not have
been wrecked.
The Old Guard is obliged to
stand by Newberry, and so Mr.
Hughes is sent forth as the pub-
lic champion of Newberry ism.
In the campaign of 1920 Mr.
Hughes was one of the thirty-
one Republicans who signed a
manifesto urging the election of
Mr. Hughes as the surest means
of bringing the United States in-
to the League of Nations. Since
he became Secretary of State,
Mr. Hughes has repudiated his
solemn pledge. He has "welch-
ed" on his promise. In Boston
he turned up as the unqualified
champion of everything that
Henry Cabot Lodge represents
in foreign affairs.
Here again Mr. Hughes was
acting as an attorney for the
Administration. The Harding
foreign policy is under the dom-
ination of Lodge and the irrec-
oncilables. The President is a-
fraid to challenge them and the
Secretary of State is afraid to
challenge them. So Mr. Hard-
ing surrenders and Mr. Hughes
makes them his clients.
There ia a tragedy in all this
was then aroused has since been--.
blighted. For reasons that defy
satisfactory explanation he has,
seen fit to make himself the
messenger boy of the Old Guard
and shows no squeamishness
bout the kind of service he
expected to perform.
