The lynching of Tomo Owens, hl-Jacknr nnd murderer, would suggest to the uruophlstlcntcd ono not familiar with Oklahoma affairs, an t'Ppo'iunlty for moralising;. The writer of sterotypert edltoilnl will find In it an exhibi tion of thu mob sjilrlt and a growins disrespect for soverninciu Thn Wgild ban been a rlop observer of Okla homa affairs too long to full Into that .error. Thero was not a vestleo of tho mob spirit In the act of Saturday night. It was cltlzonthtp, out raged by government Inefficiency nnd a too tender regard for tha professional criminal, registering an tndlchant protest. Thc who ssek a cause, for the, dcum-hoad eourt martini that railed Tom Owens to a sp'rdy final a' rutuitlng, ran easily dlsrover It. They w'll find It m long years of mMrlng to the irimlrinl elenmnt by the lilghost officers of the -nt). In n ireon) for pardoning convicts 'non Mi'lod of grnvn crimes unenuollnd In thi snnals of Amerlenn hIMory. culminating In tho "par doning org'" of H few weeks ago that shockc the entire sni hwetL A crowd of indignant citizens took thn law Into tli'lr hnmts been lira they wein convinced that Oov. James Ilotiortson, uetliig-govornor Dob Duvldaon, artlng-gornor Tom Walilrep and Lieutenant govnrnor Trapp and Inral rnunty off loirs were unworthy of th trust that hail been repus'! I" them to protect the decent olt Isenshlp of tho Ute nnd enforce the lawn honestly and vigorously. , Three nltlteh made the most sensational protest they wnroi rajmble of. Nit only against tho high-ups In government, but against thn condition cxlsllng ut the rnunty courthouse which 'wero proven by the rase with which government was overcomo by them. The con tempt this gathering of cltl.eus had for the sheriff's otflco and the Impotmiry of government exemplified by him; the ease with which t liny swopt thin department of thn public service aside, Is not by nny means thn least significant f put urn of the sffulr Thst our analysis of the Incident Is correct stands attested by street talk tho day following' "One pet the governor nnd nctlng-governors will not have tho plensuro of pnrdonlngV' "Tho county was saved considerable oxpenso bnd real Justice mated out." "A vlgllenco committee has proven Itself mnro efficient and economical In enforcing law und restraining the hl-Jsckers than, all the of ficers In the county." 'The straw bondsmen didn't have a chancn to make money out of Owms," Hundreds of statements like this wero heard on every hand. , Finally, an Incident like that which nrcurcd (Saturday night does not lake place In a com munity where law enforcement Is n fact anil Justice both speedy nnd ceitalr. , Wo moko no defense of tho mob Spirit, but wo do assert that It will ,bean Impotent and hopeless citizenship when conditions such as are the rulo In governmental circles III Oklahoma ran go on und on without a righteous protest such ns was registered in the casn of Tom Owens, and wo predict that unlesn conditions nie speedily Improved, tho one we nro now dis cussing will not bo Inst by nny means. Again we assert thnt very great significance attaches to the fact that the whole pioreidlngs wns planned fmnny hours In advance of tho event; that the county authorities had warning of what wa'se6mlng nnd ample lime to prevent what did take place. Yol when the crowd moved to Its' purpose tho sheriff was swept aside like chaff without protest or even a gesture to wards protecting thn man. In his charge. ;: itKfiir.sKX'nxfl own amkiiica. The president himself never, tired of .Inter preting for foreigners -what he was" pleased to explain to them wns the sentiment of America. Time after time, both at homo nndw.bro.id, he specifically explained "I speak for thej American people." T-ooktng back upon the things he said and the obligations he committed our America to, one can but wonder that his spnkvsmanshlp was never challenged by a demand that ho exhibit his commission and prove his right to exercise the authority he arrogated to himself. Und thnt been dono It would h'ave been better for America, BefotV tha pence conference in I'arls, May 10, 1919, the president said: " tho American people who came Into tho world cosserratcd to liberty aro ready to east In their lot In common with tho lot of thoso whoso ItbertyMa threatened wherever the cause of liberty seems to be Imperiled. This Is tho spirit of the peoplo of the United Blntes und thoy hav been privileged to send two million men over hero to tell you so " The very Important thing about that utter ance Is that It ws not true. It is not true to day. It was not then nor Is It now uvon approi- maely true. i Under tho leadership of true patriots tho American people liarartlcd' a bloody and trem endlously expensive to retrieve their lot from the common lot of mankjud that thuy might set up a gOAemnirnt of their own choosing and construction, establish lawn radically dltferent from thosa which wore the romnion'lot, worship Ood In various ways, contrary to the common lot and. do various and sundry things hideously unorthadox In the minds of those whoso com mon business was to govern tho common lot. And they, after accomplishing these things, set u,fl upon their complcti-d work which boro tho legend: "Am we here nnd now plcdgo our-' selves not to Interfere In the affairs of the older nations of tha eastern hemisphere, so wo pro hibit those older nations from acquiring political rlghtB in the wnstern hemisphere or doing In any way that which threatens the Independence of these United States or interfere In Its govern ment." That was, it Is nnd It will always be, the true nplrlt of the people of the United States. The American people In 1919 'were not ready to cast In their lot with any other peoplo on earth. Nor are they ready for such suicidal action today. They were ready then, as they arc ready now. as they havo always been ready when under a national leadership that afforded the national consalenco adequate expression, to exprees sympathy for any people seeking liberty and Indeprdnencerand lo offer their hospitality to fugatlves from oppression irgardlpss of whenco they came. America, today as always, lit (conscious of her own virtue, of tho rcotltudo of h"r own lu tenttons and stands ready to follow wherever her heart directs. Ilut fhe Is not ready to give bond for her Virtue, forswear herself for nil time, nor enter any association of nations that vjt In 'the remotest degree takes from her full liberty of action according to her national con science, nor will she, ever.

The Na tion's Business. Among nirtls. In a great whitc-oak tree slowly dying of ngc nnd neglect nnd of fer.nt itn decaying limbs as a refuge for the llttlo flock of the forest thero lived a woodpecker nnd nn owl. Tho owl had n night Job nnd wob a very quiet neighbor. Thn woodpecker worked during the day, drllllnc a dead limb for bugs nnd worms. Ho was very par ticular about his appearance and oven while working wore a whlto waistcoat and a brilliant red cap He wan not a shirker, however. His tools were kept In perfect order and he was a remarkably fast and ef ficient workman, fully deserving tho good fortune that fell to his lot. One morning a wandering Jay came to the white oak and asked for a Job. "Can you drill holes? naked tho woodpecker. "I havo never tried." replied the Jay: "but I could learn." "I'll try ou," the woodpecker said. "This Is my limb. You may begin work nt once, nnd your pay Mill lie onc-hnlf of all tho bugs and worms you dig out." . , Tho Jay set to work and m.irlo good. Ills bill was not made for drilling, but the wood was soft and the work light. The woodpecker sat on another limb and watched the Jay's labors, and his neck muscles gerw soft as his waistline expanded. Idleness gave him opportunity of employing a young robin to preen his foathera when the Jay disappeared. The woodpecker was dnimfounded "What Is the world coming to?" ha demanded. "Here It Is time for dinner nnd not ,i servant on the place. I,ook at that fat bug crawl ing 'under the bark. My, my' flight there before my eyes and not a soul to -fetch It to me. This country Is going to the dogs." Thus ho grumbled until evening, when hunger got the better of plquo and Impelled him to set about get ting hln rwn supper. Ho drilled with his old-ttme vigor and soon ap peased his appotlte, but the unac customed labor tired his neck and magnified his grievance. "The idea." he said, "of a person of my quality having thin sort of work to do. I can do it as well ns another In case of emergency but, great guns, how It strains my neck!" Tho owl had emerged from his bedroom and waa stretching his wings to generate a little energy be fore going to his work. Ho heard tho woodpecker's plaint and chuckled. "My dear young friend," he said, "straining your neck is good for your soul. Heforo you became a victim of foolish notions and that Important feeling your neck Was tougher than a steel spring Loafing has weakened your thews ub wJcll as your wit. Letting George do It has robbed you of half your man hood.
