PHONE NO. 124 In the excitement of the campaign, do not overlook the fact that good roads into Stilwell are more important than long talks on the tariff or acrimonious debates on peace and preparedness. Electing officers should be considerd an important business transaction. If you wanted a man to take charge of you business, you would be careful to select a man of good character in "his community, would you not? A general spirit of debt paying will do wonders in building up a community. The merchants will not have to charge so much for their goods if they can avoid bad accounts.

They will have more confident to go ahead and spend money and make improvements, and the whole town will grow and prosper. The Standard-Sentinel doesn't deal in slush, gush nor misrepresentation. It never has. It never will. We deal in facts, and wish a clean and economical, but efficient, county government.

We defy even our most malignant critic to point to one item or one thought ever expressed in the Standard-Sentinel that was not based on trutb or intended to produce the best and purest county government and substantial, upright citizenship. If you think we have trampled upon your to us with your troubles. Don't knock behind our back. The woods are lull of patriots exuding criticism of the president tor his course with Mexico, or blatent with advice as to what should have been of them are now running for office. A few weeks ago, when the call to arms came for national defence, these sprinters all ran for the tall timber.

Neither they nor their sons were found in the ranks of the volunteers. Every boy who volunteered, however, was somebody's son, and these somebodies form a numerous throng unanimous in praise of the president who holds the lives of American boys more important than dividends on Mexican investments.

27. 1916: If evidence were lacking of the certainty of the excutive committee of the socialist party becoming the real government if that party ever secures a majority in this state, it was supplied by the reply of the sheriff of McClain cqnnty to the order sent out by this excutive committee in connection with the appointment of deputies at the time of the recent proposed railroad strike. This sheriff, elected by the people of McClain county as their sheriff, wrote to the executive committee of the socialist party at Oklahoma City: "Your order shall be obeyed." There is no room for dispute about the meaning of that. It is perfectly obvious who is the real sheriff of McClain county, or of any county with officers controlled by the same discipline. It is clear who is the judge, who is the county attorney, where the so cialists have a majority.

Those who belive that not repeat itself, who thinK that there is no danger in the development within the government of an independent, irresponsible organization, which has in its hands supreme power over the officers of the goverment such, as that used in this instance and which does not hesitate to use it upon occasion, are permitted to sit quietly by without apprehension add watch the socialists grow in this state; others will not. Democrats and republicans alike look upon socialism as a party of protest alone. They fail utterly to realize the revolutionary purposes which lie at the' foundation of this government.and await only a favorable opportunity (to revealed, a thorough-going determination of its leaders, who will balk at neither methods nor means to accomplish these purposes; their abiding distrust of existing institutions and their eagness to destroy them. The votes upon which they rely to secure power are, it is true, largely votes of protest, but the leaders, the mleii who now direct the party policies and, who have already formulated their program, if the party ever power, are as thoroughly, as frankly, as avowedly, revolu- as their brothers of Russia today or the communists of Paris seventy yeefrs ago.
