been going d'n in those parts for some time But now the fiddler is demanding some additional charges and these will be paid also Martial law is an extraordinary remedy to be invoked only to cope with an extraordinary evil The evil that has cursed certain parts of Oklahoma for many months certainly was an extraordinary evil and called for the most extreme of remedies It was organized lawlessness in which duly sworn officers of the law in many cases took part Already one officer of the law in Oklahoma who has confessed to the cowardly and vile crime of beating a woman has gone to prison Governor Walton will make mistakes in handling this dangerous weapon Ile probably has made a mistake already in trying to censor the press But the weapon itself was required The state of Oklahoma had been bloodily disgraced by an organized gang of terrorists that tram-plea aw and humanity under foot That kind of thing cannot continue indefinitely in a community that has reached the degree of civilization that Oklahoma has reached There had to be a halt And the use of the military arm seemed the only available remedy It is to he hoped that the clean-up will be rapid and thorough and that the revolt against American law will be stamped out utterly and with dispatch Oklahoma wants to get back to the era Of good feeling and good business that existed before this ugly demon of hatred and malice went riding abroad through its peaceful fields and highways May the recovery be quick and thorough 111111111111111111L11 Trotel Bob Knupp Tone Jewell al 0 OKLAHOMA CITY Sept Martial law for the
