It brings the same bit of sin- cere approval that it would were It to be held in & palace grand. It stirs the imagination and it rouses memories. The fact that a church organization is responsible for it is appropriate, but the organization does not matter—it is to be a parents’' night. We have no intention of singing with sentimental expression any of the old “mother” songs, or talking about “dear old dad.” Nor are we inspired to write what sometimes passes for poetry, more or less justified. But the thought of emphasizing for a.little part of the day the relation- ship of parent and child does bring a'distinct appeal. It leavens the whole rushing scheme of things. There s, perhaps, the picture in mind of a quiet room, with winter sndw outside and the sighing of the storm. There is a great table and on it a shaded lamp. A father and a mother are near; a newspaper or book and some knitting are in’ the scene and there are curly heads too, bowed over school books upon the table. That was a parents’ night we may remember, perhaps. Then there is another picture—a “rescue mission” in a great city where broken men are gathered to sing old hymns. They are silent, frowning men, probably, who have skulked into the mission afraid their cynical com- the streets might see them. But they sing the old hymns with famillarity, They know them; they learned them long ago Sunday evenings when they were children gathered about the melodeon of old days. Those evenings, too, were parents’ nights. And the good that remains in the old men, the fail- ures, still lives because of those svenings. They will come back again, these “parents’ nights”, as all good things, temporarily forgotten, come back ac- cording to the greats scheme of things, Parents’ night—and peace. pe national and IN OKLAHOMA The situation in Oklahoma has'heen 80 complex, 80 charged with assertion and contradiction and so clouded that wise comment upon it has been im- possible to one at this distance; that conservative people have refrained from expressing an opinion as to ‘whether Governor Walton had acted properly or whether he had become & despot whose actions were to be condemned. There have been random remarks made, with praise of him and de- nunciation of him. Few in this part of the country have been able to form impartial judgment, and where all the facts are not available it 1s never well to indicate that judgment should be made. The people who are best acquaint- ed with the situation in al its details, are the people of the state where the controversy has arisen. Even they may not have all the facts nor possess all the evidence necessary to perfectly Just decision. But perfect not possible in human prejudice and conviction will influence justice is affairs, and men always, Nevertheless those people | of Oklahoma are better fitted, owing to their familiarity with the situation, to pass judgment than are the people | in other parts of the country.

The original statoment which needs “backing fp" was made by “The Courant.” That newspaper declared that the motor vehicle department regards the prac- tice of dimming the headlights upon the approach of another car as dan- gerous and it (the department) is do- Ing what it can to discourage it, This statement shocked, astonished, those who have been doing all they can to urge care and courtesy on the road, and who have given emphasis to the instructions, formal and informal, emenating from the motor vehicle de- partment, The numerous accidents reported to that department, caused by glaring headlights, have been a source of ex- treme concern. For that reason, and with the knowledge that the motor vehicle department has given and as late as yesterday did give encourage- ment to this dimming of headlights on the approach of another car, The Her- ald has urged and shall continue to urge the dimming of headlights until contrary instructions are given out by that department, if such unwise ac- tion should ever be taken, And for this reason The Herald was astonished to read the statement of The “Courant” that the motor vehicle department considered the practice dangerous and was "doing what it can to discourage it."” This is the statement. that needs “backing up.” This is the statement of “The Courant”, completely revers- ing the popular ldea of courtesy and care on the road, ‘Cerfainly before The Courant is justified in calling upon The Herald to quote any further authority than the motor vehicle de- partment for its statement urging the dimming of lights, “The Courant” should give its authority for its state- ment of a revolutionary nature favor- ing glaring, undimmed lights. LLOYD GEORGE Americans are going to have the pleasure ‘of seeing one of the world’s most prominent men on American soil vlen David Lloyd George arrives in ithis country. Many are going to have the chance to hear him. talk, and most of us who have that chance will seize it. This will be not entirely be- cause Lloyd George is a former pre- mier of England., Back of that fact there will be the realization, perhaps unconscious, that he is the sort of man we might understand more easily than we could any other of England's prominent citizens. There 15 a virility about him, an impetuosity, if you will, that is not uncommon in the Ameri- can character and which is quite dif- ferent from the calm and sometimes aggravating aloofness of the tradition- al English statesman of the Lord Cur- zon type, for instance. \Vo might | casily imagine Lloyd George stepping into American politics and laking an active part in them, asking no odds of being a stranger to our And, of course, we should he 1d many matters upon which | | | because countr; able to should differ quite violently from He would support and make bittsr cnemies, we | nim arouse enihusiastic n many ways there is a touch of the late Roosevelt about him, way we look at Lloyd Theodore This is the George tual.

The it h FOR WOMAN'S CLUB SEASON JAGK WALTON HAS HAD HECTIC LIFE His Political Gareer Is One Figst Alter Another Oklahoma City, Okla., Oet. 3.—~Gov, ernor J. C. Wallon appeared upon the political stage in Oklahoma when, & mayer of Oklahoma City, he unlon- ized the city police foree in 1919, thus gaining the aective friendship of organized labor in the state, In the spring of 1921, while may- or, he was endorsed for governor by the Niate Federation of Labor and by the newly organized Oklahoma® Far- mer-lLabor reconstruction league, With the support of th organi- zations, he made a sensatiohal cam- palgn for nomination on the demo- cratie ticket, w ominated by a sub- stantiul majority and after hi tory In the general November tion retired to Cuba for rest while preparations were made for a mon- ster barbecue and inaugural celebra- tion, Gave Big Barbecue Approximately 100,000 persons thronged the state fair grounds, ate barbecue from pits more than a mile in length and drank coffee from vats holding thousands of gallons and heated by steam engines. The inauguration over, Governor Walton plunged into a whirl of ac- tivity that has kept him before the public eye virtually without interrup- tion, Charged by his opponents with radical tendencies, he stoutly defend- ed the Reconstruction league against its enemies, who branded it as an off- spring of the Non-Partisan league of North Dakota, and named as head of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Me- chanical college, George Wilson, an organizer of the league in Oklahoma. Legion Takes Action The appointment drew the fire of the American lLegion, who opposed Wilson. The state was in a political turmoil for. weeks, ‘Then Walton re- moved Wilson and broke with the Re- construction league. He maintained throughout that he still was fighting the battle of the farmer and laborer, but that the league did not have authority to rep- resent these groups. . Coming quickly upon the heels of the Wilson flurry, martial law was proclaimed in Oklahoma county. The governor announced he was seeking to curb mob violence. Later Tulsa county went under the rule of the nd then the entirc state. Starts Against K. K. K. It was then that the governor de- clared he was fighting the Ku Klux Klan, The ne became involved through his alleged abrogation of constitutional rights in connection with the Klan fight. An attempt of the state legislature to hold a session to review his acts was dispersed by military forces and with the last minute addition of a constitutional amendment to a called special state election that would pave way for the legislature to meet, the issue went to the people today. e vam oo 25 Years Ago Today (Taken irom Herald of that date) s s s O a0 ) Some one entered the barns of J.
