New Amendment Suits the

der the initiative law. Of the same
question 10 the people within period
Of i've years, which is now being cir

the support Of the Oklahoma Anti
saloon league and the prohibition ele-
ment Of the state. The petition was
initiated by the Peoples Power league,
which was organized through the
efforts Of Campbell Russell. until last
August the head Of the farm demon.
stration department Of the state board
OF agriculture.
The exact purpose the Peoples Pow
er league had when the petition was
drawn and put into circulation, is not
known, although it is thought gener-
ally, that Mr.. Campbell might carry
his fight on the state board Of agricul
tdre to the people that he feels that
he could win out the first time, and
with the proposed amendment in force
his opponents could not re-submit the
matter to the people for five years, is
problematical.
Superintendent Sheldon OF the Okla
homa Anti-Saloon league stated that
he thought the prohibitionists Of Okla.
homa would be in favor Of such an
amendment TO the constitution. IL the
amendment were IN force now. il would
be impossible TO hold another election
on the prohibition question for several
years. 1t would prevent the governor
from calling an election on this ques-
tion early next year, the time the anti
prohibitionists hope to have ready for
the governor the necessary signatures
TO the petition that has been in circu-
lation for several months.

necessary TO conduct a campaign.
The Anti-Saloon league superinten-
dent believes the prohibitionists are
financially able to conduct winning
campaign every five years, and that il
the election on this question is restrict
cd TO once in every five years, the pro-
hibitionists can keep the open saloon
out Of the state.
From the result OF the two elections
held in Oklahoma, il is reasonably Ger
tain that the prohibitionists are in the
majority in Oklahoma, and that II the
full vote is polled, this element still
will remain in the majority. But, by
the re-submission OF the question every
two years, the ''antis" believe that the
"pros" will be caught mapping and
that they will win ut-Oklahoman.

New Branch of Learning
Taught in Graduate
Institution.

BOSTON, Jan. 29.-The newest of all
sciences, which establishes by carefully
tested tables and ratios just how the
seemingly impossible feat may be
achieved of producing greater profits for
the employer and higher wages to his
employees, is now about to become the
most talked about of all the branches
of learning taught at Harvard Univer-
sity. This new course is today regu-
Iarly established course in the Harvard
Graduate School of Business Admins
tration, of which Prof. Edwin Fran
els Gay is dean.
The significance of this science has
been brought home to the general pub
lie most striliirgIy by the statement OF
Louis d. BrandeIs, the Boston lawyer,
who told the interstate Commerce Com
mission that the "ailroads of the coun-
try could save $i,'0C,OOO a day If they
adopted efficient and economical sys-
TENS in their shCPs and factories.
Although it was srot generally known
al the time, Mr.. Brandeis was referring

Filipino Patient Happy and
Optimistic as to the
Future.

After twenty-four hours In the Dis
trict's leper house, on the Eastern
branch, Anacteto Popalabay, the Fill
pino boy who is suffering from the
disease In its first stages, is far from
disgruntled and discouraged. Not only
has he lively hopes for future cure,
but he is thoroughly enjoying the
comforts and attentions he is now
receiving.
Popalaboy has been a valet, and now
he is having his own wants attended
to. He has company to talk to, in the
form of three guards, who take turns
in eight-hour shifts lest he try to es-
cape. He has all the food and medical
attention he needs, and many little
comforts have been allowed him to
make his Imprisonment easy.
From his remarks about his situ-
alton, 1t is doubtful II he would try
to escape even il all three Of his guards
united in urging him to, though of
course the Health Department cahnot
take the chance that he might try to
get away some day.

Earl McQueeney, ten years old, son Of
the janitor of Business High School, made
up his mind some time ago to be the first
depositor in the Washington High School
Bank, and realize his ambitions when he
persuaded his third grade teacher to ex-
cuse him from his lessons and ran around
to the Business High School. where he
made small deposit and received the
first pass book when the bank opened.
The banks opening was set for yester-
day. but owing to the fact that Dr..
Davidson spoke to the entire school there.
the bank opening was put forward to
Wednesday afternoon. When the ON.
GERS Of the bank took their places and
opened their ledgers for business a line OF
forty students was waiting at the teller's
window.
Foremost in the line was Earl Nc
Queeney. So enthusiastic was he about
being number one, with all the formali-
ties of a real despositor, he had dressed
himself in his best and had waited at the
high school nearly all the afternoon. His
enthusiasm was reported to Allan Davis,
principal Of the Business High School,
who congratulated the young man.
The first day of the bank was a sue
cess. as over three hundred real dollars
were deposited by the students.
