Did you p'cr Mtop lo think that violating the

No preparation In required to beromn a criminal
or a trangrcNnnr excepting the momentary
yielding t bann liinynrt or dlnpivntlon. H
There are tliounitnl of men no clrcuiimianceil

that It In hcaiiiNO they aro Inherently too honent,
but- there In gr.ivn uuentlon whether It H that
consideration that holdn them truo to their

than anything elite, (letting away with It In the
moat difficult-thing In tho world, Junt an nteallng
or practicing other forms of trunngrennlon Is tho
easiest.
It wan not at nil difficult for Wllllo Oalton,
tho youthful cmplojo of a Chicago bank, to titcot
I77J.000 worth of government bonds. He simply
wrapped them up In brown paper, placed them
In a bank satchel and .made as If to tuko them
to their destination. Hut hn couldn't begin to
get awny with tho theft. Ho wan caught In n
few hours. Wo do not like to think no, hut wo
wcrn strongly sunpect that It In fear that keepn
nuw! people straight rather than gubflng phil
osophy of life; four that they will be detected,
callud on lo pay, and will bo unnblo to getaway
with It. I'robably thnt thought has moro to do
WlttT tho fact that your hrimo Is unmolested by
houso-hrcjkers nnd home-drstroyrrii than uni
versal respect for your rlghtH or adhesion to
moral attributes.
Thoro are those, we have no doubt, who would
not yield to tho temptation of cupidity ami
piiH-Aim even though accompanying that tempta
tion -wan tho cortaln knowledge that It would
never bo discovered. Such rare characters are
Inherently honest. Others'arc merely lob cow.

AIAIOST A UKVOM'TION.
Theie have been such changes before, but
never any rntnparnbln In magnltiidn with this.
Not from tho elder Adoiffa to Jefferson, nor from
tho younger Adams to Jackson, no, nor even
from liiiohanan to Lincoln, wai the change an
groat as Ibis. l"nr widely ns thoao preslduuts dlf

mental principle, which never were called Into

In t administration. Thn student of political
literature will find tho utterances of Woodrow
Wllxon on constitutional government in America
to be piactUally unique among all that him been

IMltor World: May I offer, for publication on
my personal responsibility, a few lemarks in
regard to tho nenr-chaotlc condition Into which
this trifling matter or n bruwl between n vio
lator of tho law nnd an officer of tho law
has apparently placed thn city?
I have no tleslro to say anything which
might be Interpreted ns meaning ttL reflect
agntiun 'the cjiureh. or against tho city7 admin
istration, as organizations; and my solo object
Is to express my views as it private citizen
to prlvato citizens, a- referring to a private
citizen nnd a public servant.
Tho situation Is rapidly npproachlng tho
category or humor. It Is pomiblo that tho
offended minister anil his supporters actually
believe thnt he Is not itnieniible to the Ihwh
which havo been legislated by the peoples'
ohonen representative)! for the safety and pro
tection of the people? I suppose, after read
ing the .Sunday World, that, had tho tight
occurred on a public h. rent, ami had been'wlt
ncMcd by n hundred persons, tho clergy would
have called upon Commissioner Adklson and
would hati demanded ,that tho entlro per
sonnel of witnesses bo aricsted nnd mado co
defendants. Perhaps Officer Meacham should have been
dh miffed; but I do not believe that any real
man would expecr another real man t. ataml
up nnd allow some (lod-fearlng i rather than
(iod-lovlng) citizen, rogardlem or tho s.tnctltude
or such citizen, to openly Insult him. It appears
to me that the offended ones are seeking to
Invoke tho relief aflorded through the applica
tion or a regulation which was enacted, it Is
true, to protei t a prisoner from unlawful at
tacks; but I am of the opinion that such regu
lation protmtned. and was made effective on the
condition, .that a primmer so conduct himself
its to merit mih h protection.
Wo would surely have a fine administrative
force It It were mailt) up of spineless molly
coddles, with zero ciiuruKc nnd zero pride. If
Officer Meach.tni lolnted any order regulating
the conduit ot an officer, ho tlfd even less than
tho Heverend (.'ruin, who wilfully 1obtted tho
laws, laid down Ity Christ Jesuit. If the clergy
so regrets such action a has been attributed to
Officer Meacliain, what aro wo guilty sinners
to think of one who Is attempting tn guide
erring soults Into the Kingdom ot Cod through
example and precept, who becomes embroiled
In n common fight in direct disreg.ir.l ot the
very fundamenta'l law which Christ Jesus laid
down h requisite lo the salvation of man''
Iu my opinion, the toonor that simple-minded,
saiutlnionius persons realize the Impoitance
of the administrative brunch of our city gov
ernment, the Soulier will Tulsa shake the "small
town dust" from Itn feet. The police depart
intuit Ih not a legislative branch: It m.iken no
laws, but Is charged with the enforcement 'of
the Ihwh as they have been made. The police
department occuplen. In my judgment, the most
Important position of all municipal depart meius
Its prune function is the protection of human
life anil property. What could be moro im
portant'' The shortest route to efficiency in the icn
tmltzlng of authority and the delegation of
authority commensurate to the responsibility as
sumed. Yet tho clergy, who InsliM that the
conunlssloitr be wholly i cspouslhle, rushes in
nnd "demands'" certain changes In the person
nel, aiid In the activities of the personnel, of the
very department whose responsibility the com
mlNslonor is aiked to nsMime. I believe that
ever one. excepting perhaps a few would-be
apostles of the .Master, will ugreo that "too
many cooks wpoll the broth " 1 believo that
ConimlMioner Adklson, who Is responsible, nnd
whose reputation is In Jeopardy, should bo per

Hubert had not come In when 1
reached the boarding house. It was
earlier than usual, so 1 dressed
thinking 'mi might go to a theater.
Wo hud not been In u long time, and
he had spoken only the night be
fore about some play ho wanted to
see.
I took particular pains with my
toilette Just why I was so partic
ular may have been because ot what
Mary Ityan had said. Had Robert
tally changed If It wt ro true that
ne had grown more qiriet, more se
date, it might be because wc went out
o l.itlc. i lungs were easing Up at
tho store, the dull season for sell
ing would soon give inn moro time
to myself I would get home earl
every night now, and wo would have
some good times together.
Just as I arrived at this cpmiu
slon, tho clock struck. It was 7
o'clock and Robert hud not come In.
I had been so busy with my
thoughts, with planning for lit in
that I had not been aware ot the
time. 1 took a magazine and Kit
down to watt. Hut 1 couldn't lead,
and kept glancing n tthe clock won
dering why Itobert' didn't come. The
dinner was over at eight, so at half
past seven went down to the table,
livery time tho door opened I
turned around thinking it might be
Itobert. I flnl.thed my dinner,
jnmeway the idea of dressing, of
making myself attracllvo for him
accentuated my distress because ot
.lis failure to como home.
Again In my room 1 tried des
iiorately to fix my mind upon a
Jtnry, but It was Impossible, I
looked out ot the window. I tidied
my burVail and did all the things
women do when nervous because of
waiting.
Tim o'clock came, eleven then
just as the clock chlmod the half
nour, Itobert came In.
To my rellor, I saw ut once he hail
not been drinking
"Oltl you think I hail eloped he
asked gaily, making no excuse for
leaving mo alone. Then kissed me.
"Yes, I thought you hud found
(tumoono you liked Jiottcr tluin mi!i"
I fell Into his mood. Then after a
moment I asked "Where In the
ivorld have you been?"
"Oh. I met Jaok Adlor on my
way home You aro so late I know
wo couldn't get ready If I came
nomo to dinner; so I had ft blto with
arm at u restaurant and then wo
went to thnt play I told you about.
It was bully! I wouldn't have
missed It for anything.'
It was n long time since I had
seen Itobert so enthusiastic, so I
said nothing of my own plans, or
my disappointment. u hadn't
noticed that 1 w.ts moro tlressed up
than usual hn was too busy telling
mo of tho play.
Hut long after ho Hlept I lay
awake thinking of him, and wonder
ing if he were beginning to bn dis
satisfied with me and with himself
bemuse ho married.
Yet even then I attached no
blnino to myself; or gave a thought
that my absorption In business
might bo cnuso for his dissatisfac
tion. He was still vnthused over the
play the next inclining.
"You must -go and eeo 'll. (Terry.
You and Mary Ityan go some night,
when you can get-offehrly enough."
"I could havo gone1 last night hnd
vou como home. I was hero before
six."
"Tho dlckeiiu you were. Well, you
havo been so late I never thought of
you coming homo In time. It's
your own fault you were left out.
You will imuII hats." It had been a
lung time since ho had mentioned
my work In that way. Hut us usual
I thought him fooll.?i so made no
reply.
"Itetneniber, wo are going to the
Murphy's tonight:" ho said as he
left the breakfast tablg. "They aro
going to have some others there,
people you never havo met. Oet
home early so you ean'mako. your
soir look us nice ns you did last
night."
t hail thought him unobscrvlng
the night before. It gave mo u lit
tle thrill of happiness to know ho
had noticed. So I answered bright
ly, nnd mado up my mind ho should
have no causo lo bo ashamed of his
wife, even if nho were u working
woman.
I knew he wan sensitive upon the
subject. Foolishly sensitive I must
look as well, bo as gay as the others,
i or no would blame tho business,
i Ail day 1 wondered who the peo
ple wo were lo meet were, nnd If
Itobert knew them. I bml torgot
i en to ask.
