WHAT IS THIS CO.VCIAISIOX?
When County Prosecutor Beaver, following
the defeat of hie evidence man for sheriff, an
nounced that henceforth the street ot Tulsa
might run full of booie without protest from
his office, the public of this particular paction
laughed; the childish statement wui charitably
attributed to tho old man's peeve. Hut when
that announcement was followed a few days
later by a wholesale dlsmlswnl of liquor cities on
the dockot, among thorn being some ot the
most notorious law violators ot the vicinage,
the public gasped with Indignation, drew tho
only possible conclusion and that an exceed
ingly ugly one, then wondered what tho county
prosecutor had done with his oath and his con
s' Ir nee.
Tlila Is no small matter that has taken place
Jn our law-enforcing machinery, A greater de.
I.ance ot public opinion, a more tcntumaclous
t
Ignoring of a nolemn obligation, has rArely been
witnessed. Yet it l a groater pleee off the
rime cloth that has frequently rtainpnil Attor
ney ftaver, In the Judgment of The World, as
unworthy of the trust Imposed In him by the
people In tho first place, dlsregnrdful of his oath
of office In thn second plaoe.
It will bn remembered that his record ni
county prosecutor ban been characterized by Ills
frequent usurpation of the office of Judge. He
fdisiiftltred htn Inauguration ss public prosoeiHor
by freeing n notorious character charged with a
capital crime, his explanation bolng that he did
not eonsltlar the evidence sufficient to hold her.
And so It bns gone for two yonrs, Tulsa county
has been dliorvd very frequently by the man
nhuHed to prosecute law violators, but never
more glnrlngly than by the man who has served
In that capacity for nearly two years paat.
In this oonneotlon The World cannot reslet
the temptation to recall tho groat furor made
by this man Heaver and his evidence man a
few months ago, and to point a moral that
ountht to be ducatlonol In Its appllratlon. It
will be rememborcd that the county attorney
and his evidence mnn, both of them running for
office, aided nnd abettM tho fight made upon
Sheriff McCuIlough by the fo-ealletl purity
squad. Never was printers' ink used more
hypocritically and effectively than during that
pel led when tho four-f lumbers of the commu
nity baekort by an insincere press agent ft
About "cleaning up the county."
Much money was npent some of It to pur
chase whleky, notwithstanding the fact
that the collection wn taken In a promlnont
church. Public officials, whoso chief offense
was thnt they refused to play the hypocrite,
were damaged In public esteem; yet they were,
and nro today, llly-whltcfl, morally and trust
worthy to tho nth degree as publlo otflolnls,
compared to most of the characters who hnd a
great hour In tho spot light.
That orusndo burned out Its flame. Thoro wnn
much flamboyancK, much insincerity, much
ovnnlon and, above everything else, much
press ngentlng for tho mnn who had used his
office to protect his press ngent who wan
charged with an tinnpcaknhlo crime.
Hut tho crusade wont tho way of all such
orusades. Ono by ono things happenea to the
oruentlora. A dozen different political booms
sprouted In tholr midst and wero caught by tho
frosts of puhllo condemnation, Hut n few np
pen red to flourish ono for sheriff nnd tho
other ror promotion to tho district bench. Thero
la this good quality about political lightning:
While It strikes accidentally vw and anon,
raising to prominence nnd authority chnrnctern
unworthy In every sense, It rarely, If over,
strikes In such a placo twlcn. llencn theso two
ambitions which hdd been nourished as afore
said for months nnd months, wero withered in
November.
Then tho mask camo off. Pirbllo announce
ment wnn made that a solemn oath of office
would bo Ignored during tho remainder ot tho
torm, And that announcement has been vital
hod by official act, Tho frulta ot thn crusado
1ms turned to ashen on tho lips ot the courts.
The, people havo been fooled onco moro by
scheming demagogues. Tho not gain Is tho un-
masking of somo of thn unworthy. Possibly the
prlco wo havo paid for this It not too great!
Georges Clomenceau tells Senator llltohcock
that all Franco wants Is tho word of tho United
States and Kngland that they will romo to the
aid ot Franco when nnd It Germany again
starts acting up. Is Georges prepared to prom

From the discussion now raging throughout

CHAPTER LII.
It was fortunato tliut Dugan took
an Interest in Nulllc, that In a way
ho played the sleuth whore sho and
her men friends were concerned . .
It was 9 o'clock when Cora dis
covered they had no butter for
breakfast. Tho delicatessen store
would bo open and It was near, so no
ono thought of objecting when
Nelllo offered to go out for It.
She bought tho buttor nlso r-omo
fruit, and with her parcels under
her arm started back homo. It was
her hold of
a lovoiy n l r nt and sua walked
nlowly, enjoying tho soft nlr, watch
ing tho few lighted places she
passed, Sho had noticed a tall fel
low with a hard face In thn store
watching her ns nho mnde her pur
chases. But had forgotten him after
sho loft.
"Nico night, honey!" Someone
touchod her arm. rt was the hard
faced fellow.
"Nlco night for you to mind your
thn ntrcet
own business," Nelllo replied, un-
ufrald,
"Spunky, ain't you? Well, that
don't hurt you for me. I like
spunky girls."
"Lot go my arm!"
With a laugh ho withdrew his
hand cautious becauso they were
passing1 a small, well-lighted cigar
store.
"Just as you say. honey."
For a moment they walked on In
silence. Then Nelllo said:
"I dldn t iiHk you for your com
pany and I don't want It."
"That'a becauso you don't know
mo. you Ilttlo peach. Conio now,
lot's take a walk In tho park? I'll
carry your bundles," he reached, for
them.
"No, thank you! I can't afford an
errand boy." Tho girl was almost
home, and no thought of fenr of tho
hulking tellow tit her sltlo entered
her mind. As sho was ho was be
side her, hla hand now grasping her
arm tightly.
"Let go my arm!" sho ordered.
A laugh was her answer. Their
"X shan't let you go, my pretty!
Tnln't ofton I catch 'em like you."
Nelllo with all her strongth tried
to break away from him, but In vain.
Nolther could nho reach tho bell to
push It, Sho hated to call out, to
raise an alarm, but her nngry voice
carried, as well ns lnr assailant's
grutt tones.
Suddenly Dugan appeared from
the front ot the house.
"That you, .Mls Nelllo?"
"Yes, Dugan. Havo you got your
boots on?"
Now fdio clung to tho fellow who
was trying to break away,
frlghtoncd when he heard a man's
voice. "

lcked himself up. "Next tolma I'll

"Thero ain't going to be any next

"Well, ho didn't hurt me, Dugan,
and don't say a w'ord to tho others.
They would worry."
"Whist It 1b!" But Dugan made
np his mind to keep on watching
Nellie. Ho has been afraid of some
thing like unto what had happened.
