We do not think the country linn been either
edified or deeply Interested In tlw Sims-Daniels
controversy concerning the nuvy nnd the pnrt
It ployed In the war. Admiral Sims evinced morn
courngo than Judgment In precipitating the row;
he will como out nither thoroughly tarred with
pro-Brltlsh sentiments urged by him, too, nt
the expcnue of Ills compntrlotH.
Hut nfter HstcnlnK to the BurprlslnR opInlotiH
of the necretnry of the nnvy concerning mival
affnlrn In gcnernl tho country must have n feel
Ins that It nhould conKintulato Itself on tho
fact that It 1h safely through one war and certain
to be rid of the present Incumbent of the naval
portfolio before another war cornea.
Mr. Daniels frankly confesses disapproval of
anythlnu In the nature of a prosram of pre
parcdness. HIb doctrine In "sufficient unto tho
day is the evil thereof." Ho asserts that human
history proves thnt planning in advance ac
complishes nothing, that It Is useless and waste,
ful expenses; that what we do today Is proven
obsolete tomorrow and so on.
Drawlnc such a lesson from "human history"
proves density on tho port of the student. The
thine thnt stood between Oermnny nnd the full
realization of plans that she had carefully pre
pared herself to carry throiiRh wna nothlnc
that men of tho Daniels stamp thouKht or did.
Germany's preparedness found a world com
pletely at her mercy, so completely nt her mercy
that had It not been for divine Interposition she
would have realized her ambition. World domi
nation is incapable of realization either by an
lndlvdual nation or a combination of nations.
That is an economic and political principle which
renders nugatory tho league of nations and tho
ambitious program It seekH to carry out.
nut had there been adequate preparedness on
the part of the nations against whom yermnny
huurled her hordes, tho war would have ended
precisely as It eventually ended, very shortly
nfter It began. And n million lives would havo
been spared. This la n point the pacifist mind
seems Incapable of grasping that adequate pre
paredness does not mean war but pence, that It
Joes not mean tho slaughter of human beings
but the prevention of that slaughter. And on that
point the visionary and Idealist trip themselves
nnd flounder ridiculously.
It may be true, as Secretary Daniels and too
many who think ns he does assort, hat this
country Is capable of protecting ItHelf under Any
and all circumstances, Hut the preparedness ad
vocatcs underhtnnd that the dlfferouco between
forming an adequate defensive forc In the face
of an enemy and throwing an adequately pro
pared and trained forco ti gainst that enemy In
the beginning Is an appalling human wastage
that prudent consideration of stntescrnft nnd
'nationalism requires shall be avoided. It would
be possible to ultimately defeat the best trained
pugilist by hurling Inexperienced men Into the
ring agoinst him; eventually ho would bo worn
down. Hut matching him In kind In the first
Inbtance would bo common scnFc.
The secretary of the navy gave symctry and
consistency to the administration of which he
was and is a part. Tho country wants none other
like It ever again.
A UIFT IN Till; MTi:.
The Oklahoma City mooting of tho Oklahoma
delegation to the democratic national conven
tion was reasonably harmonious, but not pain
fully so. There was a rift In the lute; n rift,
too, that would be Jarring and discordant wero
tho prospects of party success such as to en
thu&o with favorable portent and omen. Tho
future being dark and ominous not to bay posi
tively forbidding, very llttlo came, of It. Kor
what Is tho use ot tusslng n'bout something that
Isn't going to happen-" No uso at nil. .of course.
Senator Owen, the favorlto son and beneficiary
of so much favor as the stale Is capable of con
ferring, was tho master of ceremonies, and
rightly. He delivered a speech, after the organ
ization had been completed and the plans prop
erly laid. In his spec- h tho senator courageously
pierced Aho valo of futurity und declared the
contestor tho nomination would bo between
Colonel Hrynn nnd hlmenlr. that other gentle
men would withdraw from tho running nt tho
proper time. Among other things hn amcrted
with some poslilvr-ness that hn would stand for
the pen'" treaty with the senate reservations,
that clearly being tho wish of the people as a,
whole, a llttlo prefrenre they would register
at the polls.
Hy slKh nent phrasing tho senator put him
self nnd his enndlilney on the exact opposite sldn
of tjie table from President Wilson, the crown
nrlnfe, anil .Mr. Homer Ctimml"g. He also took
oernalon to assert that the erown prinre wni Irv
ing to steal hl child, wild rhlld being the federal
reserve act.
This waswell enough nnd there appeared to
be no dissent until Mr. I,nn (.'nice, once favored
with the governorship nnd stewardship of the
arc of the tovenant of demormny in Oklahoma,
teciired recognition and made hlmsHf n little
pee'h. .Nut disputing anything that had been
in id or railing nnybnd.v nnmea, the Ardmore
mnli hi lis n derlared II n fact not to be disputed
Mint "nny democrat would be recreant to his trust
If he i emitted himself to support any platform
whl' I' did not ln lude rntlflratton of the peace
treiiiy without t;hHnn' or reservations." ,
Hut olherwlrft the meeting was harmonious.
WHO IS
noiNii tiii'; ncim.No?
MoslX'Veryone is familiar w'lth the story of
thehting Jury I'nnble to nrrlve at a verdict tho
lury asked to be dismissed from further consid
eration of the rase. It was brought before the
-ourt who asked the usual question If It wan
Improbable Hint a verdict could be reached. "It
ort not to be," snld ono of the Jurors. "Tho
case Is plain as can bo nnd we r'd find a vor
diet ensv If them other 'leven fellers had any
lenio."
We are Inevilnbly reminded of this story as
ive rend the following editorial comment on con
ditions nt Washington:
It Is limn for the public to rail a halt on
the bitter personal nnd political quarrel nt
Washington which hnn so long deferred
peare nnd kept America aiM the rest of the
world unsettled. Tim Joint peace
resolution will not make pence, '
The president will veto It, of course. What
then?
Which Is defending the one wise Juror nmong
eleven senseless associates. The argument is that
the senate should yield lis Judgment to the whim
of the president. Yet It Is ulearly evident that
should It do so the result would not be peace
but n continuing nenr-stnte of war. I'or Immedi
ately United Rtiltes troops nnd nuvnl forces
would be set In motion to tnko up tho duties as
signed them under the league; and the costs
of government, now trying this nation to Its
very marrow, would at oncn begin to rise higher
Instead of decllnng ns every consideration ot
national necessity require thnt they do.
To nttempt to exculpate tho president of re
nponslblllty for the deadlock In government ex
Istlng at Washington Is the particular1 privilege
ot those who find n pleasure In playing tho
role of cuckoo. Hut In doing so they must un
derstand that they have no more logic or rea
son on their side than had tho bull-headed
Juror who set his own opinion against his eleven
nssoclntes.
To continue to assert that tho 'president Is
seeking to give the country what it wants is
to deliberately Ignore the plain fncts. Knr tho
president no longer hns even a pnrtlsan organ
ization nt his back; hn all but stands nlone. The
most Illustrious of his own party leaders counsel
him to yield to public opinion nnd constitutional
forms. If there Is any doubt anywhere ns o
which has the support of public opinion, tho
president or the sennte, the results of tho ap
proaching election will forever dispel such
doubt.
Let those who will defend tho president. Hut
let them do so without seeking to divide the
responsibility. Ho nlone Is responsible for the
delay In a return to the peare status.
Hut suppose It Is shown thnt the safest time
to kill Chrranza wns while ho was asleep?
The Washington government should find n
way of ronveylng the assurance to fienernl
Obregon that no Inquiries will be conducted Into
the sudden disappearance to Pnncho Villa.
Tho powers have passed Armenia to the United
Plates. Hut there Is no more reason why we
should accept it than there would be for us help
ing ourselves to the rancid butter at the boarding
house which the landlady seems anxious for us
to have.
One of tho most amazing features ot tho
Digest's poll Is the unbellevabli) dlsclouseur that
there are 3,033 voters who would like to have
Secretary Haker for president and 2.S6S who
uctunlly favor Secretary Dnnlels for the posi
tion. There is some solace in the knowledge,
however, that out of tlm million and a half who
have expressed their preference not one favors
Pobtmastor (leneral nurleson.
The unlnstructrd delegates to the Chicago con
vention, which outnumber those tied by Instruc
tions, are talking of holding a caucus nmong
themselves tor the purpose of naming the can
didate. It would bo a violent end to the practice
of chasing delegates If such a thing should be
done, and If tho unlnstructcd delegates should go
outRlde tho popular list and bring In a real dark
horse! Not a half bad precedent, either.
We are going to Invado the territory of tho
sporting editor long enough to express our dis
approval of the pitching staff of Tulsa's ball
team. Those birds are all Wilson men, nnd we
are against them. They are too charitable; they
are addicted to the practice of giving away too
many valuable bases. The balance of tho team
meets our approval. They are not too proud
to fight, steal like gentlemen and see in an ad
versary somothlng to beat, not something to
coddle. If Col. Abbott will rid his team of
those lcague-of-nntioners that occupy the pitch
ing box and put In soma nntl-leaguers. or at
worst some reservatlonistn who won't he bo all
fired free with their benefactions, we think
Tulsa will bo ablo to lick anything In tho clr--ult.

"I do not agree with you at all!
When we rare for n person there Is

soon think as 1 do you'll ,ee," and
then because I didn't want to quar
rel with mother, and yet wanted her
to understand that I should manage
Hob my own way I said: "I am old
enough to manage my own affairs,
mother. Please do not make me
say so again."
"Very well, daughter; I'll never
mention the subject ngaln. I did not
Intend to Interfere, I only want to
see von and Uobert happy"
"We'll be happy, never fear." I
replied, then turned the conversa
tion. Mothqr was a dear, but she wns
getting old, and was n bit old-fashioned
In her Ideas I thought. I
now know that I was the one who
held queer old-fashioned notions;
rather perhaps "nld-maldlsh" ones
would be the better word
Onee again mother asked me to
accompany her; then whnt out alone.
I nevnr knew that the hours could
be so long as they were that bright,
lovely Saturday- I tried to sew, then
to arrange bureau drawers and clos-
ets, but could keep my mind jjn
nothing l'lnally I went Into tho
dining room where Delia was work
ing and proposed that wo clean tho
cut glass And silver. Delia would
chatter a llttlo I knew, and maybo
the time would not drag so heavily.
All the afternoon we scoured and
polished, until by c o'clock I was
too tired to even think- Delia had
tried to Jiiake me leave her to fin
ish, although she had been none too
pleased at the extra work I had
planned for her.
"You ran have all day tomorrow,"
I told her when she grumbled a bit.
Hob would bo homo early 1 wns pos
itive, and she really deserved tho
day.
After an early dinner I put on a
kimono, but really was too tired to
enjoy my reading. I yawned every
two or thice minutes, and finally In
disgust I went to bed Juit as the
clock struck '9. I hesitated about
calling Hob up to bid him good
night, then roncluded not to, a llttlo
ache In my heart that he had not
t,hought of calling me.
1 remained In bed the next morn
ing until 9 o'clock. As 1 was hav
ing my coffee, mother nulled me up
and asked If 1 were going to church
ax usual.
"No. I shan't go today." I replied.
She said nothing further, but asked
me to come over to dinner.
"No. I'll remain at home. I am
not sure what time Hob will come. '
"H doesn't Intend to come until
evening, does he'.'" sho asked
"No but 1 shall wait for him."
"I'm sorry you won't come over,
father, too. will be disappointed "
she answered. 1 realize after years
have passed that my selfishness was
colossal. Then I didn't rail -It self
tshnrss; 1 called it "duty."
After Ihung up the revolver a
lump came Into my throat I was
afraid I was going to crv Crv for
self-pl'y for a condition I had chos
en, pity because I alone, of all the
people I knew nnd cared for. was to
spend a lonely Sunday.
P.lsle I knew wouldn't be lonelv
mother and falheri would e to
gether. and Hob was having i good
time with his friends around him
I forced back the tears, and took
the papers Into the library and sat
down to read. After a while I censed
to feel my loneliness I had found a
story of a girl who had married a
man with many gay friends, and
whose home was broken up; her
life ruined by the husband's fond
nes's for these friends, nnd the conse
quent neglect of his wife.
I paralleled tho cases. Why Hob
was apt to do the same things unless
I put a stop to it at once' I never
paused to reason that tho man in
the story was a selfish sort of ,i
creature who cared for nothing save
his own pleasure; and that the wife
was a young foolish child. I only
thought of the fact that the husband
gave him time, his thoughts, to his
men friends, the friends of his
bachelor days. Had I needed any
thing to strengthen me In my pur
pone, my determination to make Hob
feel that I could havo no happiness,
no enjoyment without him; It was a
lono in the storv where when the
wife complains that he leaves her.
he says:
"You were out. too' you haven't
any kick coming that I can see'"
Hob never would bo nble to say
anything like that to me I never
should give him the chance My
happiness depended solely upon him
He should be mado to realize that

In all the ride neither one had referred to Emily
Harbridge, although the had been in the thought!
of both during much of the long journey. Bud won'
dcrrd if there had been a tplitap. He reaolved to
find out jutt at toon at he got home.
Before parting at the ttatlon it wat agreed that
they would dine at Tom'a hotel before Bod caught
kit evening train home.
At Tom walked toward the hotel he contrasted
the pretemt lAtit with a farmer one.
Then ha wot in uniform, twinging through the
streets under waving fiact to the maeic of a ttirring

he and his comrades flowed like an olive-drab river
between banks of humanity with the windows high
In the canyonlike walls of the buildings bright with
fluttering handherchtefs.
Many an eye wat dimmed and many a throat
tightened as they went marching off t war.
Then he wat hailed and cheered by everybody.
Sow he walked unnoticed through thtte selfsame
crowds, a stranger swallowed up in tka Vast lone
liness of crowded city streets.
" Can a fellow ever feel at home here? " he
wondered.
At the hotel ha registered, and the Impersonal
look of appraisal which the clerk gave him revealed
only a tall, decent looking young man wearing a
service button and with the healthy color of the out'
doors in his face.
