THE EXPERIENCE OF OKLAHOMA CITY

THURSDAY, Nov. 9

DaILy EDITION.

 

Oklahoma City is another of the larger cities of the United States
that has been led to adopt commission government, in its endeavor
to eliminate boss rule, machine politics and ring methods from its
civic life. No place on the continent has had a harder fight to secure
a reformed municipal government than had Oklahoma City.

Its experience of commission government dates only since June
last, but already the benefits of business methods in municipal corpora-
tion affairs have proved themselves. The city has a commission of
five. The Mayor acts as president of the commission. The depart,
ments are arranged as follows: department of Accounting and Finance
under Commissioner Elmer C. Trueblood, an expert accountant;
department of Public Works under Commissioner Guy E. Blackwelder;
department of Public Safety under Commissioner J. T. Highley, and
department of Public Property under Commissioner W. H. Hampton.
For the business success of his particular department, each com-
missioner is held responsible.

The following letter from Mayor Whit M. Grant gives a hint of
what Oklahoma City had to face to secure commission government,
and of the success which has followed its endeavors:

“This city has been under commission government since
June 8th last passed, which form of government was attained by
the people after having four consecutive defeats at the polls due
to election corruption and administrative contro! of the election
machinery. The people had gained well defined ideas of the
advantages of the Commission form from the experiences of Des
Moines, lowa, and Galveston, Texas, and besides, the corruption
which had crept into local government, due to the maintainance
of a dominant political ring, had become so obstreporous in their
operations to defeat the ends of good government at the expense
of the people and to their own personal advantage that they had
carried their activity too far and the people demanded some
relief.

“Since the inauguration of the present form of municipal
government in this city, many reforms have been put into effect;
much of the people’s money has been saved and the proposed
plans to be inaugurated by the commissioners look to still greater
savings, notwithstanding the fact that the commissioners have
been harassed at every turn by the old political ringsters, within
and without the party, who have used every endeavor to make
the new form of government a failure, partly to cover up the
radical shortcomings of their old form of aldermanic goveramert,

Respectfully,
WHIT M. GRANT, Mayor

DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING A HARE:
FIRST:—-*‘ CATCH YOUR HARE”

BB8333 Seeeee

 

 

 

To produce good printing you must ‘‘first catch your
good printer, . . You can’t get good printing from a
poor printer, even if he work with never so good an
equipment. If he lacks the ‘‘knack,’’ the trained
taste, the single-minded fondness for his work which
real printers have, he will do poor printing for you.
If he has all of these, and in addition to them ade-
quae modern equipment, your printing will have

istinction, salesmanship, the lure of type-beauty.

As this office produces good printing you may infer
the presence of a good printer—who is ‘‘catchable."’

Constance laughed.

“Perhaps she knew dad years ago,”
she said.

“What do you think Mr. Pyne said
about her?”

“How can I tell?

r to him?”
ae told him she had fainted when
you delivered his message. He said:
‘Guess she can faint as easy as | can
fall off a house.’ Isn't he funny?”

“I think he is splendid,” said Con
stance.

The wrest was now wholly demol
ished. The first big wave of the re
treating tide enveloped the lighthouse
and smote it with thunderous silence,
Screams came from the women’s quar
ters.

“Go, Enid,” said Constance. “Tell
them they have nothing to fear. They
must expect these things to happen
for nearly two hours. Tell them what
dad said. Twenty-five years, you
know.”

Brave hearts!
tration inspired the man
said “Noblesse oblige!”

Constance looked in at the kitchen,
Pyne loomed through a fog of steam,

“Pay no heed to these—" she was
interrupted by another mighty thump
and cataract roar— “these blows of
Thor’s hammer,” she cried.

“Play me for an anvil,” he returned,

She descended to the depths, to re
assure the men. Talking with shrill
cheerfulness at each doorway was
easy. It helped her to go down, down,
feeling stone and iron trembling ag
every surge was hurled many feet
above her head. At last, she stood
on the lowest floor, Beneath her feet
was naught but granite and iron bars,
Here was solidity. How grateful to
know of this firm base, rooted in the
very world. Her heart leaped to her
mouth, but not with fear. She was
proud of the lighthouse, strong in the
knowledge of its majestic strereth.

Nevertheless, in -this place, the
source of her own sense of security,
she found uneasiness among the men,
They were all sailors in this lowest
habitable region. Their pre-conceived
ideas had been rudely reversed. The
ship, the noble structure which defied
the storm by yielding to its utmost
fury, had for them no terrors. But
the stark pillar which flinched from
no assault bewildered them. It waa
impossible to believe that it could
withstand the strain. Ha! Listen to
that. The battering-ram of ocean ap
plied to a thin shaft of stone. Surely
it must be pounded into fragments.

Said one, with indefinite bellow
amidst the black turmoil: “I can't
stand this, mates.”

“Up aloft for me!” cried another.

“Let’s die with our eyes open, any:
how,” chimed in a third.

But a light flashed in the rolling
orbs of the man who was already on
the stairs. Astounded, he drew back,
Constance stood in their midst, a
mere girl, radiant, smilingly uncon:
cerned, addressing them in calm
wards, broken only by the fitful
noises.

“Sorry your quarters—so very un:
pleasant. Only last a—couple ol
hours. Twenty-five years—far worse
gales. Want any more cocoa?”

“Thank you kindly, miss, we're
quite comfortable.” This from the
man who wished to die with his eyes
open.

“Please, miss, may we smoke?”
said he who couldn't stand it.

Constance hesitated. Blithely un-
conscious that e whiff of mutiny had
swept through the storm-tossed fold,
she pondered the problem. She saw
no harm» in it.

“Yes,” she said. “Smoke by all
means, I! will ask my father, and if
it should be dangerous I will come
back and let you know. In a few
hours it will be daylight, and if the
sea falls he will come and open the
door.”

By sheer inspiration she had utter
ed the formula destined to annihilate
the necromantic bluster of the ham-
mering waves. Open the door! Sa
this ponderous racket was a mere
tidal trick, a bogey, which each pass:
| ing minute would expose more thor
| oughly.

“All right, miss, an’ Gawd bless
yer,” growled one who had not spoken
| hitherto. There was a chorus of ap
| proval. Constance gave a little gulp,
| The cultured and delicate lady lying
in the bunk above had not spoken so,

“Indeed,” she gasped, “God hag
blessed some of us this night.”

Then she fled, further utterance
failing her.

Nearer the sky, Brand tended the
lamp and discussed matters with
| chief officer Emmett. The — sailor,
with the terse directness of his class,
told how the Chinook had made an
| excellent voyage from New York un:
til she ran into bad weather about
four hundred miles west of the Lizard,

“It seems to me,” he said, “as if wa
dropped onto the track of that hurri.
cane after it had curved away to the
| norrard, and that the d——d thing
swooped down On us again when wa
were abreast of the Bishop Light.”

Brand nodded, This surmise agreed
| with his own theory of the storm, aa
indicated by the sea.

Mr. Emmett held out a clenched fist
with thumb jerked towards the reef,

“I wouldn't breathe a word if he
| wasn’t gone,” he said, “but the old man
| was drivin’ her too hard. I knew it,
| an’ the chief knew it’—he meant the
| chief engineer—‘“but he wouldn't lis
/ ten to either Mac or me. Fact is, he
was fair crazy to set up a new record
for the boat. She's been crossin’ the
| Atlantic forty times a year for up:
| wards of twenty years, and the recent
| alterations, although they added fifty
| feet to her length, only increased her
| engine-power in proport on.”
| 7 Syou eurprise me,” broke in Brand,
“You speak as if the Chinook were
nearly as old as this lighthouse, yet
I have never even heard her name be
fore.”

“You know her well enough all th¢
same,” said the other ruefully. “This
is her maiden voyage since she was
altered; an’ they rechristened her,
too—always a d——d unlucky thing ta
do, 1 say. Bless your heart, man, she

He guffawed mournfully at Brand's
involuntary exclamation

“Certain! Well, surely

vice with the company in her,
when I took a crew to (ramp’s to
navigate her to New York after she
was smartened up I little imagined I

“Judging by the number saved
feared that more were lost.”

“It's the off season, you know. The}
passenger list was light. For the}
Lord’s sake, think of what it might}
have been in May or June!” |

“It is bad enough as it is. All has
not ended with the disappearance of
the vessel.”

The sailor shot
Brand.

“You can't be thinkin’ anyone was
to blame—’ he commenced. But
Brand waved aside the fancied impu-
tation.

“Blame!” he said. “With a broken
shaft! In that whirlwind! No, no,
I sent for you to talk over the new
difficulty which has to be faced. There
are food, water and fuel here for three
men for two months. If you do a little
sum you will find that the available
stores on the basis of full rations will
maintain eighty-one people for two
days and a quarter.”

“But we’re only six miles from the
mainiand.” Mr, Emmett had not yet
grasped the true meaning of the fig:
ures.

“I have been here more than once
for six weeks at a stretch, when, for
all the assistance we could receive,
we might as well have been within
the Arctic Circle.”

Again the sailor jerked his thumb
towards the reef.

“Is it as bad as all that?” he queried
anxiously.

“xca,"

“But six weeks. Good Lord!”
Emmett had done the little sum.

“That is exceptional. A week is
the average unless the unexpected!
happens, after a gale like this. And)
a week will test our endurance to the

limit.”

Mr. Emmett whistled softly. A
grisly phantom was creeping at him,
He shivered, and not from cold.

“By Jove!” he said. “What's to be
done?”

“In

a sharp glance at

Mr.

place, you must help
me to maintain iron discipline. To
leave the rock to-day or to-morrow
will be an absolute impossibility, On|
the next day, with luck and a steady
moderation of the weather, we may
devise some desperate means of land-
ing all the active men or getting fresh
supplies. That is in the bands of
Providence, I want you to warn your
officers, and others whom you can
trust, either sailors or civilians. Bet:
ter arrange three watches. My daugh-
ters will have charge of the stores.
By going through the lists in the
store-room | can portion out the ra-
tions for six days. 1 think we had
better fix on that minimum,”

“Of course | will back you up in
every way,” said Mr, Emmett, whe felt
chillier at this moment than at any
time during the night. “I know you
are acting wisely, but I admit I am
scared at the thought of what may
happen—if those days pass and no
help is available.”

Brand knew what would happen,
anc it was hard to lock the secret in
his heart. He alone must live. That
was essential, the one thing carved in
stone upon the tablets of his brain,
a thing to be fought out behind bar.
red door, revolver in hand.

Whatever else took place, if men
and women, perhaps his own sweet
girls, were dying of thirst and starva-
tion, the light must shine at night over
its allotted span of the slumbering
sea. There, on the little table beside
him, lay the volume of Rules and
Regulations. What did it say?

“The keepers, both principal .and
assistant, are enjoined never to allow
any interests, whether private or
otherwise, to interfere with the dis-|
charge of their public duties, the im
portance of which to the safety of
navigation cannot be overrated.”

There was no ambiguity in th

|Do you mind

“Is that the name of the youngster
who climbed the fore-mast?”

“That's him. It was a stroke of
genius, his catching onto that way.
He was as cool as a cucumber. Just
looked up when he reached the deck
an’ saw the lighthouse so near. Then
he asked me for a rope. Planned tha
whole thing in a second, so to speak.’

“He is not one of the ship's com-
pany?”

“No, sir, a passenger, nevvy of Cy-
rus J, Traill, the Philadelphian mil-
lionaire. Haven't you heard of Traill?
Not much of a newspaper reader, eh?
was a lady on board, a Mrs.
Vansittart, who was coming over to
marry old Traill, 80 people said, and
the weddin’ was fixed to take place in
Paris next week. Young Pyne was
actin’ as escort.”

The chief officer glanced down the
purser’s lists and slapped his thigh
with much vehemence.

“No, by gosh! Here she is, marked
oO. K. Well, that beats the band.”

“So the lad has discharged his trust
to his uncle?”

Mr. Emmett was going to s&y some-
thing, but checked the words on his
lips.

“Queer world,” he muttered. “Queer
world.”

With that he devoted himself to
planning out the watches. Soon he
and the purser betook themselves to
the depths with a roll-call. As they
crept below gingerly—these sallor-
men were not at home on companion
ladders which moved not when the
shock came-—they met Enid for the
first time. She, coming up, held the
swinging lantern level with her face.
They hung back, politely.

“Please come,” she cried in her win-
some way. hese stairs are too nar-
row for courtesy.”

They stepped heavily onward. She
flitted away. Emmett raised his lan-
tern between the purser’s face and
his own.

“What do you think of that?”
whispered, awestricken,

The man of accounts smiled broad-

he

“Pretty girl!” he agreed, with crude-
ly emphatic superlatives.

Emmett shook his head.
mured to himself: “I guess I'm tired.
I see things.”

Enid handed an armful of dry linen
to the damp, steaming women in the
lower bedroom. She was hurrying
out; someone overtook her at the
door. It was Mrs Vansittart.

“Miss Brand,” she said, with her all-
sufficing smile, “give me one mo-
ment.”

They stood in the dark and hollow-
sounding stairway. The seas were
lashing the column repeatedly, but
the night’s ordeal was nearly ended.
Even a timid child might know now
that the howling terror without had
done its worst and failed. From the
cavernous depths, mingling with the
rumble of the storm, came the rhythm
of a hymn. Those left in gloom by
the withdrawal of Mr. Emmett’s lan-
tern were cheering their despondent
souls.

Surprised, even whilst Enid awaited
the older woman's demand, the lis-
teners heard the words:

“Awake my soul, and with the sun
“Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.”

tones of the men were
softened and harmonized by the dls-
tance. It was a chant of praise, of
thanksgiving, the offering of those
who had been snatched from death and
from mortal fear more painful than
death.

The singing ceased as suddenly as it
began. Mr. Emmett and the purser
were warning the first watch.

The interruption did not seem to
help Mrs. Vansittart. She spoke awk-
wardly, checking her thoughts as
though fvarful she might be misunder-
stood or say too much.

“I am better,” she explained, “quite
recovered. I-—-gave up my bunk to
one who needed it.”

“Tam sure we are all doing our best
to help one another,” volunteered
Enid.

“But I am restiess. The sight—of
your sister—aroused vague memories.
I find it hard to ex-
plain-—-your name is familiar. I knew
some people-—called Brand—a Mr.
Stephen Brand—-and his wife.”

She halted, seemingly at a loss.
Enid, striving helplessly to solve the
reason for this unexpected confidence,
but quite wishful to make the expla-

The rough

nation easier, found herself interested. |

“Yes,” she said. “That is quite pos-
sible, of course, though you must have

words, no halting sentence which
opened a way for a man to plead “iy
thought it best.” Those who framed
the rule meant what they said. Now}
man could bend the steel of their in |
tent.

To end the intolerable strain of his
thoughts Stephen Brand forced his |
lips to a thin smile and his voice to
say harshly: }

“If the worst comes to the worst,|
there are more than three thousand
gallons of colza oil in store. That
should maintain life, It is a vegetable
oil,”

Then Constance thrust her glowing
face into the lighted area.

“Dad,” she cried, cheerfully, “the
men wish to know if they may smoke,
Poor fellows! They are so miserable
—so cold and damp and dreary down
there. Please say ‘Yes.'”

CHAPTER IX
MRS. VANSITTART

The purser, faithful to his trust, had
secured the ship’s books. He alone,
among the survivors of the Chinook,
had brought a parcel of any sort from
that ill-fated ship. The others pos-
sessed the clothes they wore, their
money, and in some cases their trin.
kets.

Mr. Emmett suggested that a list of
those saved should be compiled.
Then, by ticking off the names, he
could easily classify the inmates of
the lighthouse and evolve some degree
of order in the community.

It was found that there were thirty-
seven officers and men, including
stewards, thirty-three saloon passen-
gers, of whom nineteen were women,
counting the two little girls, and seven
men and one woman from the steer:
age.

“It ion’t usual on a British ship, for
the crew Ao bulk so large on the list,”
said Mr. Emmett, huskily. “But it
couldn't be helped. The passengers
bad to be battened down, They could-
n't live on deck. We never gave in
until the last minute.”

“Il saw that,” said Brand, knowing
the agony which prompted the broken
explanation,

“An' not a mother’s soul would have
escaped if it wasn’t for young Mr.

 

|many years ago.”

Mrs, Vansittart flinched from the
feeble rays of the lantern.

“That is so-—lI think I heard of—of
Mrs. Brand’s death—in London, I fan-
cy. But—they had only one child.”

Enid laughed.

“I am a mere nobody,” she said.
“Dad adopted me. I came here one
day in June, nineteen years ago, and
1 must have looked so forlorn that he
took me to his heart—thank God!”

Another solemn chord of the hymn
floated up to them:

“Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noonday
clear”

The rest of the verse evaded them.
Probably a door was closed.

Mrs. Vansittart seemed to be great-
ly perturbed. Enid, intent on the oe-
cupation of the moment, believed their
little chat was ended. To round it off,
60 to speak, she went on quickly:

“T imagine I am the most mysterious
person living, in my early history, I
mean. Mr. Brand saw me floating to-
wards this lighthouse in a deserted
boat, I was nearly dead. The people
who had been with me were gone,
either starved and thrown into the
sea or knocked overboard during a
collision, as the boat was badly dan
aged. My linen was marked ‘KE. T.’
That is the only definite fact I can tell
you. All the rest is guess-work. tvi
dently, nobody cared to claim me.
And here I am,”

Mrs. Vansittart was leaning back in
the deep gloom, supporting herself
against the door of the bedroom.
“What a romance!” she said, faint-
y.
“A vague one, and this is no time
to gossip about it. Can I get you any-
thing?”

nid 'felt that she really must not
prolong their conversation, and the
other woman's exclamation threatened
further talk,
