The Pendulum IN the current, issue of Outlook' and Independent is an enlightening discussion of the back-to'-thc-farm niov euiciu by Weimar Jones, who was born and reared in Franklin and who, for about a year, was con nected with The Franklin Press... '. .'"- Mr. Jones, now eily editor of The A-duvillc Times, is peculiarly well fitted to w.riu on such a subject, .ine .which requires a first hand knowledge of both ayrkuliui.d- and 'industrial conditions. ,As' a native of Macon, he knows the farmer':, problems; As a newspaper man who has reported various textile mill strikes and disorders and who has made a special study of the industrial labor situation during the past few years,, he is in a position lo speak first hand of conditions in the factory towns.

Southwest Davis and Ike Bixler, and, in fact, by the entire gather ing. The sombreros were then solemnly and with some hesitation brought to the roulette tabje pul pit for Yancey's inspection. "Mr. Grat Gotch, being used to lightning calculations in the matter of coins, will kindly count the proceeds of the collection." Arkansas Grat. red-faced and perspiring, elbowed his way to the pulpit and made his swift and ac curate count. He muttered the re sult to Yancey. . Yancey announced it publicly. "Fellow citizens, the sum of the first collection for the new church organ for the Osage church, whose denomination shall be nameless, is the gratifying total of one hundred and thirty-nine dol lars and fifty-five cents. Heh, wait a minute, Grat ! Fifty-five did you say fifty-five cents?" "That's right, Yancey." Yancey's eye swept his flock. "Some miserable tight-fisted skin flint of a But maybe it was a Ponca or an Osage, by mistake." "How about a Cherokee, Yan cey !" came a taunting voice from somewhere in the rear. "No, hot a Cherokee, Sid. Rec ognized your voice by the squeak. A Cherokee as you'd know if you knew anything at all you and Yountis and the rest of your out fitis too smart to put anything in the contribution box of a race that has robbed him of his birth right." He did not pause for the titter that went round. He now took from the rear pocket of the flowing Prince Albert the small and worn little Bible. "Friends! We've come to the sermon. What 1 have to say is going to take fifteen minutes. The first five min utes arc going to be devoted to a confession by me to you, and 1 didn't expect to make it when I accepted the job of conducting this church meeting. Walt Whitman has a line that has stuck in my memory. It is: T say the real and permanent grandeur of these states must be their religion.' That's what Walt says. And that's the text I intended to use for the subject of my sermon, though I know that the Bible should fur nish it. And now, at the eleventh hour, I've changed my mind. It's from the Good Book, after all. I'll announce my text, and then I'll make my confession, and follow ing that, any time left will be de voted to the sermon. Any lady or gent wishing to leave the tent will kindly do so now, before the con fession, and with my full consent, or remain in his or her scat until the conclusion of the service, on pain of being publicly held up to scorn by me in the first issue of my newspaper, the Oklahoma Wig wam, due off the press next Thurs day. Anyone wishing to leave the tent kindly rise now and pass as quietly as may be to the rear. Please make way for all depart ing uh worshipers." An earthquake might have moved a worshiper from bis place ill that hushed and expectant gathe ing: certainly no lesser cataclysm of nature. Yancey waited, Bible in hand, a sweet and brilliant smile on his face. He waited quietly, hold ing the eyes of the throng in that stifling tent. A kind of power seemed to flow from him to them, drawing them, fixing them, enthral ling them. Yet in his eyes, and in the great head raised now as it so rarely was, there was that which sent a warning pang of fear through Sabra. She, too, felt his magnetic draw, but mingled with it was a dreadful terror a stab of premoni tion. Twice she had seen his eyes look like that. ' Yancey waited yet another mo ment. Then he drew a long breath. "My text is from Pro:, verbs. There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.' Friends, there is a lion in the streets of Osage, our fair . City, soon to be queen of the Great Southwest. A lion is in the streets. And I have rv - EdnaFei-ber IHusiraiioiv5 byi been a liar and a coward and an avaricious knave. 'For I pretended not to have knowledge which 1 have; and 1 went about asking for information of this lion though I would change the word lion to jackal or dirty skunk if I did not feel it to be sacrilege to take liberties with Holy Writ when al ready I had proof positive of his guilt proof in writing, for which I paid, and about which I said nothing. And the reason for this deceit of mine I am ashamed to confess to you, but I shall confess it. I intended to announce to you all today that I had this knowl edge, and I meant to announce to you from this pulpit " he glanced down at the roulette table "from this platformthat I would publish this knowdedgc in the columns of the Oklahoma Wigwam on Thurs day, hoping thereby lo gain profit and fame because of the circultion which this would gain for my paper, starting it off with a bang!" At the word "bang," uttered with much vehemence, the congregation of Osage's First Methodist, Epis copal, Lutheran, etc., church jump ed noticeably and nervously. Friends and fellow citizens, I rc pent of my greed and of my desire for self-advancement ' at the ex pense of this community. 1 no longer intend to withhold, for my own profit, the name of the jackal in a lion's skin who, by threats of sudden death, has held this town abjectly terrorized. I stand here to announce to you that the name of that skunk, that skulking fiend and soulless murderer who shot down Jack Pegler when his back was turned coward and poltroon " he was gesturing with his Bible in his hand, brandishing it aloft was none other than " He dropped the Bble to the floor as if by accident, in his rage. As he stooped for it, on that instant, there was the crack of a revolver, a bullet from a six-sliootcr in the rear of the tent sang past the spot where his head had been, and there appeared in the white surface of the tent a tiny circlet of blue that was the Oklahoma sky. But be fore that dot of blue appeared Yancey Cravat had raised himself halfway from the hips, had fired from the waist without, seemingly, pausing to take aim. His thumb flicked the hammer. That was all. The crack of his six-shooter was, in fact, so close on the heels of that first report that the two seemed almost simultaneous. The congregation was now on its feet en masse,, its back to the roulette table pulpit. Its eyes were on one figure ; its breath was suspended That figure a man was seen to perform some curious antics. He looked, first of all, surprised. With his left hand he had gripped one of the taut tent ropes, and now, with his hand still grasping the hempen line, his fingers slipping gently along t, as though loath to let go, he sank to the floor, sat there a moment, as if in medita tion, loosed his hand's hold of the rope, turned slightly, rolled over on one side and lay there, quite still. ' . "Lon Yountis," finished Yancey, neatly concluding his sentence and now holding an ivory-mounted six- shooter in right and left hand. Screams. Shouts. A stampede for the door. Then the voice of Yancey Cravat, powerful, compell ing, above the iroar. He sent one shot through the dome of the tent to command attention. "Stop ! Stand where you are! The first person who stampedes this crowd gets a bullet. Shut that tent flap, Jesse, like I told you to this morn ing Louie- Hefner, remove the body and do your duty." "Okeh, Yancey. It's self-defense and justifiable homicide." "1 know it. Louie, . . . Fellow citizens! We will forego the ser mon this forning, but next Sab bath, .if requested,, I shall, be glad to take the pulpit again, unless a suitable and ordained minister of God can be procured. The sub ject of my sermon for next Sab bath will be from Proverbs XXVI, 27: 'Whoso diggcth a pit shall fall therein' ..; . This church meet ing, brethren and sisters, will now be concluded' with, prayer" There was a little' thudding, scuffling sound as a heavy, inert burden was carried out through the tent A, . .'lap into the noonday sunshine. His six-shooters still in his hands, Yancey Cravat bowed his mag nificent buffalo head but not too far and sent the thrilling tones of his beautiful voice out into the agitated crowd before him. ". . . bless this community, 0 Lord. . . ." - . ' Mournfully, and in accordance with the custom of the community, Yancey carved a notch in the handsome ivory and silver-mounted butt of his six-shooter. It was then for the first time that Sabra, her eyes widening with horror, noticed that there were five earl ier notches cut in the butts of Yancey's two guns two on one, three on the other. This latest ad dition brought the number up to six. "Oh, Yancey, you haven't killed six men !" "I've never killed a man unless I knew he'd kill me if I didn't." There seemed nothing more that she could say on this subject. But still another question was consum ing her. . . "That woman. That woman. I saw you talking to her, right on the street, m broad daylight to day, after the meeting. All that horrible shooting all those people around yqu Cim screaming and then to find that woman smirking and talking. Bad enough if you'd never seen her before. But she stole your land from you in the Run. You stood there, actually talkin gto her. Chatting." "I know. She said she had made up her' mind that day of the Run' to get a piece of land, and farm it, and raise cattle. She wanted to give up her way of liv ing. She was desperate." "What is she doing here, then!" "Before the month was up she saw she couldn't make it go. One hundred and sixty acres. Then the other women homesteaders found out about her. It was no use. She sold out for five hundred dol lars, added to it whatever money rdie had saved, and went to Den ver. Her business was overcrowd ed there. She got a tip that, the railroad was coming through here. She's a smart girl. She got to gether her outfit, and down she came." "You talk as though vou admired her! That that ." Felice Van able's word came to her lips "that hussy!" "She's a smart girl. She's a" he hesitated, . as though embar rassed "in a way she's a well, in a way, site's a good girl." . Sabra's voice rose to the pitch of hysteria. Don't you quote your Bible at me, Yancey Cravat! You with your Lukes and your Johns and your Magdalencs! I'm sick of them." The first issue of the Oklahoma Wigwam actually appeared on Thursday, as scheduled. It was a masterly mixture of reticence and indiscretion. A half column, first nage, was devoted to the church meeting. The incident of the .shooting was not referred to in this account. An outsider, reading it, would have gathered that all had been sweetness and light. On an inside column of the four-page sheet Was a brief notice: "It js to be regretted that an unimportant but annoying shooting affray somewhat marred the other wise . splendid and truly impressive religious services held in the re creation tent last Sunday, kindness of the genial and popular proprie tor, Mr. Grat Gotch. A ruffian. who too long had been infesting the streets o( our fair city of Usage, terrorizing innocent citi zens, and who was of the con temptiblc ilk that has done so much toward besmirching the daz zling fame of the magnificient Southwest took this occasion to create a disturbance, during which he shot, with intent to kill, at the person presiding. The body unclaimed, was interred in Boot Hill, with only the prowling jack als to'" mourn,', him, their own kin It is hoped that his nameless grave will serve as a warning to others of his class. Having thus modestly contained himself in the matter of the actual shooting, Yancey let himself go a little on v the editorial vpage. His editorials, in fact, , for ... a - time threatened the. paper s news items Sabra and Jesse Rickey had to convince him that the coming of the Katy was of more interest to prospective subscribers than was the editorial entitled, "Lower Than the Rattlesnake." He was pre vailed upon to cut it slightly, though under protest. Sabra, reading the damp galley proofs, was murmurous with ad miration. "It's just wonderful! But, Yancey, don't you think we ought to have more news items? Gossip, sort of. , I don't mean gos sip, really, but about people and what they're doing, and so on. Those are the things I like to read in a newspaper. Of course men like editorials and important things like that. But women" "That's right too," agreed Jesse Rickey, looking up, ink smeared from his case. "Get the women folks to reading the paper." Sabra was emerging slowly from the role of charming little fool. By degrees she was to' take more ' ' ' V'V ,' and more of a hand in the as sembling of the paper's intimate Weekly items, while Yancey was concerned with cosmic affairs. As the printing plant boasted only a little hand press, the v.o six-column forms had to be inked with a hand roller. Over this was placed a piece of while prim paper. Each sheet was done by hand. The first issue of the Okla homa Wigwam numbered four hundred and fifty copies, and he fore it was run off, Yancey, Jesse Rickey, Sabra, Isaiah every mem ber of the household except little Cim had taken a run at the rol ler. Sabra's back and arm muscles ached for a week. The paper came out on Thurs day afternoon, as scheduled. Sabra was astonished and a little terri fied to see the occsion treated as an event, with a crowd of cowboys and local citizens in front of. the house, pistols fired, whoops and yells; and Yancey himself, aided by Jesse Rickey, handing out cop ies as if they had cost nothing to print. Perhaps twenty-five of these were distributed, opened eag erly, perused by citizens leaning against the porch posts, and by cowboys ond horseback, before Sabra, peeking out of - the office window, saw an unmistakable look of surprise even of shock on their faces and heard Cass Bixby drawl, "Say, Yancey, that's a h 1 of name for a newspaper." She sent Isaiah out to get hold of a copy. He came back with it, grining. It was a single sheet The Oklahoma Galoot.. Motto "Take It or Leave It." Beneath this a hastily assembled and some what pied collection of very per sonal items, calculated to reveal the weakness and foibles of cer tain prominent citizens now en gaged in perusing the false sheet. The practical joke being revealed and the bona fide paper issued, this was considered a superb tri umph for Yancey, and he 'was borne away to receive the "con gratulatory toasts of his some what sheepish associates.
