IT WAS the turn of Governor Walton
to get walloped last week, and he
did get walloped. But he didn't take
the blow lying down. To those who
enjoy a stand-up and knock-down fight,
the news from Oklahoma these days
may be pleasant reading, but it really
Is not edifying. It would seem that
when such conditions can continue for
a long time there must be something
lacking in our democratic institutions.
Having obtained court sanction for
the special election called for last
Tuesday, the people of Oklahoma in
sisted on holding It. At first, Walton
declared It should not be held, insist
ing that, as he had called it, it was
his election and he could call it oft if
he desired. He reconstituted the state
election board so that it might obey
his behests; ordered the entire Na
tional Guard of the state mobilized
and then recalled, the ord^r; called
another special election for Dec.* 6;
yielSed at last In the face of various
restraining orders from courts, and
said he was willing to vacate his oilice
if the people of the state preferred
the rule of the, "invisible empire" to
that 4>f the constituted authorities. In
several counties the governor's effort*
prevented the citizens from casting
their votes in the usual manner, but
many of them mailed their ballots to
the capital and others used improvised
election machinery. But the election
was held, and by a majority of about
four to one the voters approved of the
constitutional amendment authorizing
the legislature to convene Itself to con
sider Impeachment charges against the
governor and other state officers.
Though he was thus knocked
1 through the ropes, Walton climbed
back into the ring and obtained from
District Jodge Tom G. .Chambers, one
of his arpolntees, a temporary re
straining order forbidding the state
election board to certify the returns
to the secretary of state. Hearing on
the application to make this order was
' set for October 9. The governor as
serted the ejection was illegal because
the proposed amendments submitted
had not beer properly advertised, and
that thousaiKls of voters were Intimi
dated" by deputy sheriffs and by the
j influence of the Ku Klux Klan. The
opposition countered with a petition
for a grand jury in Oklahoma City to
investigate charges that Walton has
misused public moneys and to inquire
Into the appointment of thousands of
state "secret service" agents of. the
executive.
I Governor Walton is issuing a stream
of proclamations and statements. In
1 one of the latest he says: "The klux
guns of the nation are trained on me.
! I um daily in receipt of threats of as
[ sassination. but I had rather die b> the
hand of an assassin than die the death
of a coward. The fight is to a finish.
There will be no compromise."
Representative McBee, leader of the
anti-Waltonites In the legislature, as
serts there is no klan issue in Okla
homa, "except in the hallucinations of
a disordered brain."
HWING failed utterly to come to
terms with the Social Democrats,
who opposed tfce abolition of the. eight
hour day and the reorganization of the
cabinet to Include the Nationalists,
Chancellor Stresemann of Germany
dissolved his ministry anr] was direct
ed by President Ebert to form a new
cabinet. The chancellor's spokesman
announced that there would be no new
party cabinet, but a small ministry
similar to a directorate, and it was
l.ssumed the reichstag would be dis
solved Various cabinet offices wil
?e left unfilled and others will be unit
eu ana put in cnarge or direct repre
sentatives of the chancellor. The di
rectorate's policies, It was said, would
include the seizure of economic val
ues, the control of prices, increased
production and the giving up of the
eight-hour law. It Is asserted ttyat the
Bavarian dictatorship Is not a sub
ject of controversy.
Under the plan of Minister of Fi
nance Helferding, the time has ar
rived for the Industrialist* (leaded
by JStinnes to begin paying real taxes
with which the government Intended
to start paying reparations to France
so that an adjustment In the Ruhr
might be accomplished. Stinnes and
his crowd asserted they could not pay
these taxes or permit a part of their
property to be confiscated, and insist
ed a ten or twelve-hour day for work
men was neccssary if reparations
were to be paid, for it would be neces
sary for Germany to undersell the rest
of the world.
In , Bavaria Dictator von Kahr is
defying the Berlin government and
the civil commissar it appointed for
his state. He also defies the Social
ists and to their threat of a general
strike retorts with an order forbid
ding strikes and making them punish
able by imprisonment. For terror
?acts or sabotage penal servitude with
unlimited fines is ordered, while for
endangering lives or treason to the
new system the penalty Is death.
''The monarchy In Bavaria will not
be proclaimed now," said Von Kahr,
"but it Is growing, and it will come
by Itself when it 1? ready." It Is
probable that Crown Prince Itup
precht will be placed on the throne.
This Is the aim of lllttler, chief of
the Bavarian Fasclstl, who Is support
ed by General Ludendorff and to whom
It Is said Von Kahr has been making
friendly advances.
Uoyallst uprisings took place In sev
eral parts of Germany last week, the
most important being at Kustrin,
Prussia, where an organized band cap
tured the fortress, only to lose it next
day. There was some bloodshed, and
the leaders of the revolt were impris
oned.
In the occupied regions miners and
post oflice employees resumed work
generally, but the French officials ne
gotiated In vain with the railroad
workers. The cities of Dusseldorff,
Kssen, Dortmund, Wlrden, Home and
Bochum began paying the expenses of
the French and Belgian armies of oc
cupation. The separatists of the
Ithineland staged a demonstration in
Dusseldorff which developed into a
battle with tlie German police in the
course of which a number were killed
and hundreds wounded.
ONCE again the attempt was made
last week to persuade organized
labor in the United States that it
should form a national labor party.
At this writing it seems certain to
fall. Delegates from Illinois and Min
nesota to the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor in Port
land, Ore., introduced resolutions call
ing for adoption of "independent po
litical action for workers."
Two fraternal delegates from Great
Britain, without trying to influence
the action of the federation, told of
the recent great successes of their La
bor party, which is now the official op
position in parliament and is not un
likely to get control of the govern
ment before long.
President Sam Gompers was as al
ways quick and forceful in reply. He
outlined the distinctions between the
American and British political
schemes, showing that in England the
labor men had only to drive at one
objective ? control of parliament
while here there are congress and all
the legislatures. He spoke of the vast
difference in citizenship.
"We are wage earners," he said.
"To have a dominating influence in
determining the laws emanating from
the employers' officers is of greater
importance to the men and women
who toil than any laws passed by con
gress or legislatures."
Dennis Lane, international presi
dent of the meat cutters and butchers'
union, announced that an intensive
campaign would begin at once to re
organize the workers In the meat pack
ing industry. The International Plas
terers' union pledged its co-operation
in aiding ex-service men to become ef
ficient building trades mechanics, and
it- was believed other , building trades
unions would take similar action.
Secretary Frank Morrison reported
that the defense fund of the federation
amounts to $183,904. The total re
ceipts for the year were $667,880, and
the expenditures $602,398. Total mem
bership of the federation was an
nounced as <-2,926,468, showing a loss
for the fourth consecutive year, and
of more than 200,000 In the past twelve
months.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has let It
be known that he will hold a se
ries of conferences with influential
Democratic senators, as well as with
Republican lenders, to obtain their
ideas as to the best way of getting
action on the proposition of Amer
ican membership in the world court.
Because he has pledged himself to
carry out Mr. Harding's policies, the
President will remind the senate that
the protocol still awaits its action,
but it is understood in Washington
that he will not attempt to force its
adoption. He wants the question out
of the way early, however, so that con
gress shall be free to devote its atten
tion to domestic problems.
Among the friends of Hiram John
son the announcement of the Presi
dent's Intention to consult the Demo
crats was taken to mean that he would
exert his influence in favor of the
world court plan, and they believe this*
will bring the California senator out
as an avowed candidate for the presi
dential nomination. Indeed, Mr. John
son has said as much, though he de
clares he will not yet do anything to
embarrass the President
OUR other Senator Johnson, Mag
nus of Minnesota, has been In the
East talking, being Interviewed and
calling on President Coolidge. The
"effete" part of the country seemed
disappointed to find that Magnus
wasn't a freak, but was well dressed,
benevolent appearing and quite civil
ized. At the White House he conferred
with Mr. Coolidge and Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace on price fixing for
agricultural products. When lie camo
out he said : "I told President Cool
idge that price fixing is the only rem
edy for the present distressing situa
tion. I also told him about the pro
ducers' alliance and Its determination
to hold the crop off the market until
the producers could obtain a fair price
for their products. The President was
sympathetic, but he had evidently not
made up his mind."

ANOTHER severe earthquake shock
occurred at Tokyo Thursday,
driving residents from their homes' and
cutting off the electric lights. About
the same time a temblor was felt In
California.
Daniel E. Douty, representing the
silk industry of America, told Premier
Yamaraoto and the minister of agri
culture last week that the Japanese
silk trust is blocking shipments, caus
ing an economic loss of $30,000,000
monthly, and that this will cause the
great mills at Paterson and Passaic to
close down very soon. Though Yoko
hama cannot be used as a port until
probably next year, the Japanese trust
refuses to permit temporary transfer
of shipments to Kyoto, Nagoya and
Shimidzu.
Official Japanese figures place the
number of known dead in the earth
quake at 103,000, the injured at 125,
000 and the missing at 235,000. These
figures are probably overconservatlve.
THE ZR-1, the American navy's huge '
new dirigible, which Is to be chris
tened Shenandoah ? "Daughter of the
Star" ? made a record trip from Lake- |
hurst, N. J., to St. Louis and return
by way of Chicago, in forty-seven hours I
and forty-nine minutes. She traveled
about 2,200 miles during forty-six hours j
actually in the air. Her only stop was '
In St. Louis, where great throngs of
aviators and spectators were gathering
for the international air races which
began on Thursday.
EVACUATION of Constantinople was
completed by the allies on Tues
day, and on Saturday the Turkish
troops formally entered the city amid
scenes of great rejoicing. It Is re
ported that Turkey will soon be de
clared a republic.
OVER in Spain the directorate has
abolished the last traces of civil
rule. First the civil governors of the
various states were done away with
and then nil the municipnl governments
and all "general councils" or county
organizations. The cities and towns
are ruled by juntas under direct ordert
of Dictator Priino Rivera.

DAM RIVER TO STOP FLOOD
Barrage Type Constructed in South
Africa to Prevent Collecting of
Mud in Reservoir.
After se\en years of building, a dam
that stops a 40-ralle river In South
Africa was recently .completed. A bar
rage type was chosen to prevent col
lecting of mud and earth in the reser
voir and to avoid flooding of private
property on the river banks. In the
average year enough dirt is carried
down this river to cover 720 acres
a depth of six Inches. Passing through
tanks and filters and being treated
with chemicals clears the water. Thir
ty-six sluice gates control the huge
barrage, 1,400 feet long. When full,
the depth of the water will be 25 feet.
