FINANCIAL SITUATION AND
THE REMEDY.


no doubt responsible in part for the
present crisis. But back of this is
a much greater cause and that is the
reduced volume of money in eircula-
ton. In the last decade more than
a billion Of dollars has been perma-
nently exported from the United
States. The silly women who marry
broken-down princeings have taken
$3.50, 900 to Europe, the govern
ment has expended a billion in the
Philippine misadventure, and mil
lions on Cuba and the Panama canal,
while private capitalists have invest
ed millions in Mexico, South America
and other countries These trernen-
dous leakages have reduced the vol
ume Of money at home until we now
have not more than half what We
need for our immense and ever-ex-
banding business. We need an ad-
dition to the circulating medium Of
not less than billion Of dollars. Con-
gress, on assembling, should at once
make provision for an issue Of not
less than $500,000,000 Of treasury
notes, receivable for all public dues.
Our extravagant government is now
costing the people nearly billion
dollars a year. Part Of this could
be paid in treasury notes and collect
ed back under the various forms Of
taxation. Thomas Jefferson, at the
very origin of the government, said:
emo better money could be known
than treasury notes, bottomed on tax
esq Like weaver's shuttle, they
go out on the obligations of the gov
eminent and come back to the treas
ury in the collection of taxes under
the various revenue laws.
Of course, everything that adds t.
the circulation will afford some re-
lief, but our bank-controlled govern.
ment always goes at 1t IN the wrong
way. What sense or justice is there
in issuing treasury certificates to run
only one year, and bearing three per
cent interests Why not issue treas
ury notes, without interest, to run
twenty years-as long as the bank
notes rung The United States fur
nishes the national banks currency
without interest which they have the
use Of twenty years, and which the
banks can loan to the people at what
ever rate of usury they see proper
to exact. Why this injustice to the
great body of the people7 Why not
issue currency directly to all Of the
people in the form of treasury notes,
which can be paid out on the obliga-
tions Of the government and collect
ed back in taxes, as Thomas Jeffer-
son said should be donee
This has been done from time to
time from the very origin Of the gov
eminent, as occasion demanded It.
Let everybody write our senators
and representatives in Congress and
press this reasonable demand. We
must have at least $500 900 600 IF

THE DAWN AND THE DAY.

AuO10 1S uCW 1ISut LII LAO UeSts
The brightest day in all the history
of the red mans land has dawned.
From the skies Of the receding night
hardy band Of pioneers, builders
Of an empire, have plucked the
brightest star and with brave hands
and patriotic hearts pinned it to tho
azure field Of Old Glory.
In imperishable letters a new name
has been inscribed upon the banner
Of freedom, name Synonymous with
success, with beauty, grandeur, pa
triotism, fidelity, prosperity, loyalty
and love Of home. A name crooned
as lullaby in the bygone days when
sitting in the growing twilight of the
boundless prairies the Indian mother
from her tepee watched the shadows
lengthen into night and put her little
ones to sleep. A game interviewer In
the matchless history Of marvellous
things accomplished by those who
dared to put their blood and brain
and Drawn into the contest and win a
victory where defeat seemed most
certain. A name now heard along
the arteries of commerce, in the busy
marts Of trade and wherever beats
the nation s throbbing heart Of in
dustry: OKLAHOMA.
But yesterday we were million
and half political orphans, misunder-
stood, misgoverned and mistreated.
Today we stand erect, clothed with
the full panoply Of American citizen
ship in all things the equal in fact as
in name, Of the proudest people Of
the nation. But yesterday to all the
other states we were as strangers.
To-Day we have entered into our in
heritance and wear upon our brow
the full-fowered wreath Of American
manhood and take our place in Co.
lumbia g household as the most fav-
ored Of all nation s children. But
yesterday the long range government
by appointment, by political favor
ties, by telegraph and by misinforma-
ton was the rule.
Today we begin new era with the
ideal government Of the immortal Lin
coin, a government Of the people, for
the people and by the people. Look
ing down the darkening shadows Of
the past with it's obstacles overcome,
It's disappointments outlved, its OBJ
structions to advancement swept
aside by the energy, determination
and ambition Of our people, we turn
with confidence to the future, proud
Of the record Of yesterday, master
full in the strength Of today and meet
the future, secure in the belief that
tomorrow will bring to us but addi-
tional triumphs in ife's battle. In
this the hour of our emancipation
when peans Of joy are ascending
throughout the land, when the clang
of the political shackles falling from
the arms Of freemen makes won
drous music for the patriots who
fought in freedoms cause, it is but
meet that we should pause and give

READ THE WATSON PUBLICA-
TIONS.

4&S1NSs
The editor of the Soliphone is
great admirer Of Tom Watson and
advises his young friends who want
to develop within themselves the spir-
it Of patriotism to read his two publ
cations, the Watson Jeffersonian,
weekly, and the Jeffersonian Maya
zine, monthly. These two publica-
tions deal with the issues of the day
from purely nonpartisan standpoint.
They are not the opponents of any
party, the apostle Of any creed or
mouthpiece of any man or set of men.
They are Tom Watson; simple, force
full, defiant and masterful. They
throw the light on all subjects with
which the people have to deal; they
expose fraud wherever found and
from whatever source it may come.
They are the defenders of the masses
against the classes, Of the oppressed
against the oppressor, of the weak
against the strong.
In our younger days when we re-
garded opposition to the democratic
party as treason to the flag, we
joined in the wholesale ridicule that
characterized the press Of the South
in its attitude toward Tom Watson,
but in later years we have been study
ing the man and reading from his pen
and we are frank to say that as a
writer he has no equal in the country.
His mental grasp Of great questions
of state is as comprehensive as that
Of any other man, either in public or
private life and his style Of expression
is peculiarly his own. At times he is
spectacular and picturesque and at
other times persuasive, eloquent and
poetic. He is at times the roaring
cataract and at other times as placid
as the summer zephyrs that fan his
cheeks in his Georgia home; but
whatever his mood, he is always Tom
Watson, broad in his grasp Of the
question treated, unique in his style
of expression and utterly defiant of
any force that may oppose him. That
is Tom Watson. And, the pity is,
that there are not more of him.
Young man, if you want to be the
student of brilliant and powerful
writer, who calls spade spade, just
send and get Tom Watson's two pa
pers. Write him at Thomson, Ca,
for sample copies. The mechanical
work on both publications is done at
Atlanta, but the editorial Office is at
Mr.. Watson's home town, Thomson.
By the way, did you know that
Tom Watson's life Of Napoleon is
considered, even by Frenchmen, to be
the best life Of the "Little Corsican"
that was ever written? It's a fact,
and his "Story Of France" his life
of Jefferson and his great war story,
Bethany" are considered master
pieces Of English production.-The
Daily Soliphone.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE RAIL
ROADS.

j
accidents on the railroads of the Unit
ed States during the year ended on
June 80 last. It shows that the to-
tai casualties we're 61,286, and that OF
this number an even 5000 were killed,
and 1926 injured. These figures in
clude only accidents to passengers
and trainmen, and to make up the
sum total of the railroad victims there
must still be added all those who
were killed and injured On the cross
ings and on the tracks, which brings
the CHASTITY record to over 100000.
This is truly appalling. But there
is one feature in connection with this
butchery which is still more unpleas-
ant to contemplate. This is the in
crease in casualties. According to
these official figures this increase Of
casualties during the year amount ed
to 1882, Of which the number Of
the killed increased IT'S, and thu
numDer OF injured S,OG.
Truly this is horrible lecord. The
increase in railroad mileage during
the year was inconsideraDle, COM
pared with the increase in casualties.
The increase in slaughter was not due
to greater travel. On the same roa Is
and the same mileage the casualties
increased by nearly 10000, an In
crease Of nearly II Der cent, which
shows that they were operated with
greater Indifference 20 the safety Of
trainmen and passengers. This con-
clusion is still more l.vinclngiy
borne out in the number Lf the killed,
which increased during re year from
1925 to 5000, or an increase Of
nearly Is per cent. Uptn no other
hypothesis can this Increased slaugh
ter on the same roads be explained
except that the roadb4ds, tracks and
rolling stock were keep IN a state Of
inferior efficiency. In order to save
maintenance and operating expenses
the railroads resorted to greater
slaughter. And this economizing of
expense was the result Of trying to
pay greater dividends Greater divi-
dends were declared all night, but at
the cost, as the official fg les collect
ed by the government bureau show,
Of IT'S people killed and 9,577 in
jured
Just think Of these figures! Au-
gusta, with it's suburbs, contains a
population of about $4,000. The
slaughter of the railroads in one year
in passengers and railway men alone
is nearly as large as the population
Of two cities like Augusta, with all
their suburbs, white and colored. In
less than eight years the railroads kill
more people than lived in Augusta
when the last census was taken, and
the increase alone in the number that
was killed last year is greater than
the entire population Of over one-half
of the towns in our state.
It is sickening record of slaugh-
ter Something must be done to
check it. This is now being done in

Joplin News-Herald: Stockholders of
the new Webb City baseball club are to
meet in the Zinc Ore building tomor-
pose of electfng officers. Lawrence Mill
ton is slated to be named as manager,
while it seems likely, as heretofore pre-
dicted in the NeWS-Herald that H b.
Jenkins, of this city, will be elected
president to fill the position left vacant
by 7. Q. Hayden, who disposed of his
stock. Since the Webb City baseball
club changed hands the attendance at
the games has been larger, and if the
present enthusiasm continues, Webb
City-regardless of size-will be one of
the best paying towns in the Western
Association.
Jay Andrews is having his troubles
at Hutchinson. Lewis, the catcher, has
swollen arm which keeps him out of
the game. Eddie Noyes has to do all
the catching. Several other men on the
team are also out of condition. Jay,
however, has some new men on the
string and it is not unlikely that some
of them will join the team within a
few days.

Along with the rumors of the trans
fer of the Springfield franchise is this
story in the Joplin News-Hera1d: 1t
was reported in Webb City this morning
that the Springfield franchise of the
Western Baseball Association would be
probably to Enid, Ok a hust-
ling little city not far from Oklahoma
City, and red hot baseball town, as
are all the western towns. A change TO
Enid would mean a revision of the
schedule, but much money would be
saved in car fare and the circuit, it is
believed, would be more satisfactory
Springfield is not the good baseball
town that it was several years ago
BY removing the franchise to Enid the
circuit would be made much more COM
pact. Local baseball fans who are au-
-hority on matters pertaining to base
ball say that Leavenworth may drop
put Of the league before the season is
over.

properties they thought belonged to any
of the brewerieS against whom the SUI
preme court had issued injunctions for
bidding them from doing business in the
state they made a memorandum of it

Most of the brewery property found
by the receivers belonged to the Val
Blatz people, and the most of that was
stored away and not in use, apparently.

Baker Tried to Force a Home UNI
pire on ST. Mary's Tuesday.
Baldwin, Kan. May 29.-Because the
Baker university baseball team tried to
force local umpire upon the ST. Marys
team yesterday afternoon the st. Marys
team refused to play and the long eX-
pected championship contest between
the two schools was postponed. Accord
ing to the contract for the game between
the two schools Baker was to choose an
umpire between Lieutenant GlaSsford of
Fort Riley or Relihan of K. U. and was
to have either one or the other umpire
on the grounds at the time the game
was scheduled. When the st. Marys
team arrived on the field the Baker men
attempted te get Quigley to agree to
having Forrest Allen, the Baker uni
versity basketball coach, officiate, and
st. Marys refused to play.
A good deal of feeling has been
aroused among the local baseball fans
in regard to the action of the two
schools but the general verdict seems to
in refusing to play. Baker has made
herself obnoxious to the fans here be-
cause of her repeated arbitrary methods
of selecting officials for the games who
were known to favor Baker. 1t is GER
tain that the action of st. Marys will
meet with approval among the different
colleges of the state who have had deal
ings with Baker.
A good game would have undoubtedly
resulted as the field was in fine shape
and the teams were both in good shape.
Mason was to have pitched for Baker
and Bakule for st. Marys.
