Utilize your School Laboratory

Utilize your School Laboratory.
During the past several months, in
fact every year, numerous inquiries
are made of this department from dll-
ferent towns by parties who are inter
ested in the subject of clean milk, and
how to secure a supply of clean milk
for their town. Nearly every town
has a milk ordinance, but it is not
properly enforced. Nearly every town
of any size in Oklahoma has a high
school, and in this high school, in
many instances, will be found a well
equipped laboratory. If parties in
terested in cleaner and better milk
supply will start to taking samples Of
milk and having this milk examined
by the pupils in these schools, they
will solve the question and at the
same time receive full value for the
money invested in a laboratory of this
kind.

Disinfect School Rooms During

All of our schools will close for
the Christmas holidays within a few
days. School patrons and school
boards should see that these school
buildings are thoroughly cleaned, re-
novated and fumigated during that
time. Those rooms furnished with
curtains should have the curtains
thrown up so as to admit the greatest
amount of sunlight possible. Sunlight
will thoroughly dsinfect these school
rooms, but if you pull the curtains
down. and shut the sunlight out, you
lose the best disinfectant that we
have. If these suggestions are carrie d
out there will be much less sickness
among school children following the
holidays than usual.

About July Meeting.

At meeting of the republican state
committee held in oklahoma City in
July, Geissler's proposal was indorsed
in a strong resolution. A copy OF
same was ordered sent to all the
members of the national committee,
and it is apparent from the Washing
ton dispatches that the sentiment in
favor of the adoption of national
platform is gaining ground, Mean
while it is predicted that within sixty
days the republicans of Oklahoma will
hold a state convention and adopt a
platform on which they will make
their fight to carry the state.

Musicale and Reception.

MUSICALE anu NcCSptiOHs
Last evening at the Elks Hall the
Philharmonic Club gave the first of
a series of musicales they will con-
tinue at intervals throughout the win
ter.
Each member had been allowed the
privilege of inviting guests, and a
large and appreciatiye audience en-
joyed the program,
Preceding the musical program a
reception was held in the parlors of
the club, which was most pleasantly
arranged. In the receiving line stood
Mrs. Campbell, director of the even
ing's program, and the officers of
the club.
The musical program was heard in
the ball room. Mrs. Campbell chose
for the evening a Verdi program
which was most opportune since this
year celebrates the Verdi Centenary.
The selections for the evening were
representative of Verdis best compo-
sitions and were faultlessly rendered.
In the program Mrs. Campbell has
set a precedent for the club that later
leaders will find difficult to follow,

coffee were served.

STATE TEREPUBL|CANS
TOCALLCONVENT|ON
STATE CHAIRMAN GElSSlER TO-
SEND OUT CALL FOR A STATE
CONVENTION.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 17.-That re
publican state convention will meet
in Oklahoma within sixty days, re-
gardless of whether tie national COM
mittee calls a national convention was
the statement made Monday by pro
minent republican.
1t is said that state chairman Ar
thur H. Geissler will, on next Wednes-
day, issue a call for d meeting if the
republican state committee and that if
the national committee meanwhile
calls a natiinal convention, the state
committee will call state convention
for the purpose of providing for the
election of delegates to the national
then it is expected that
the state committee will nevertheless
call a state convention for the pur-
pose of adopting a state platform and
to stimulate party interest.
The call for state convention will,
it is understood, provide that dele
gates to the same shall be elected by
county conventions to be held in ev-
cry county in the state. 1t is believ-
ed that state chairman Geissler is
anxious to see the republican forces
in this state get ready for the fight
of 1914 and that he will call the state
committee together as soon as the
national committee has decided as
to whether there will be national
convention or not.
OkIahomans Interested.
Considerable interest is taken by
Oklahoma republicans in the press
dispatches from Washington stating
that among those who are present to
attend the meeting Of the national
committee, considerable sentiments is
expressed in favor of adopting a ma
tional platform at the national con-
vention to be held next spring, as well
as changing the basis of representa-
ton.
The proposalto to adopta new platform
is distinctively an Oklahoma Idea. II
is recalled that after the 1912 cleo
ton it was suggested from all parts
of the country that there should be a
special national convention for the
purpose of changing the basis of re.
and revising the rules
of the party. Last spring a number
of progressives headed by Senator
Cummins and former Governor Had
ley, met at Chicago and addressed a
memorial to the national executive
committee which met at Washington
in May, urging that a convention be
called for the above purposes. At the
same meeting of the national commit
tee a telegram was presented from
state chairman Geissler who not only
asked on behalf of Oklahoma republi-
cans that such a convention be called
for the purpose stated by the Hadley'
Cummins committee, but that the con-
vention should also adopt a new ma
tional platform.
Geissler's Idea.
Geissler, at the time, took the posi-
tion that the platform of 1912 is a
good one so far as it goes but that
in his opinion new conditions make
it desirable to simplify the platform
and that if there is going to be a ma
tional convention, it might as well
adopt a complete declaration of prin-
ciples. At that time the suggestion
made by the Oklahoma chairman and
in which his friends claim he out-pro-
gressived the so-called progressives,
was generally considered too radical

The Suffrage Parade.

A good deal of fiippancy is being in
oulged In regarding the proposed parade
or the woman suffragists in Washington
ON the sd of March that is wholly I'M
worthy. Boys who know no better and
men who should know better are talking
OF setting free numbers of rats and mice
on that occasion for the dispersal of the
marchers. and the joke is apparently re-
garded as good one by a considerable
number of the people. This sort of
tfing should cease. The parade will be
an impressive spectacle. representative
of movement which has succeeded in
a large degree and is destined to continue
until. in all probability, the women of
America have won the ballot in every
state. The methods adopted by the wom-
en- of this country for the procurement
of the right to vote have been in all
respects dignified, especially when COM
pared with those followed by the mill
tant advocates Of suffrage in England,
and the success achieved has been a
tribute to their persistence and sagacity.
The assemblage here on the eve of the
presidential Inauguration of representa-
tiVe women from all the states should
be welcomed. and it is to be expected
that the parade will be respectfully
viewed and its participants given the full
est possible protection from the annoy
ances OF the unthinking and the disor-
derby who plan to make fun of the
marchers. The men who advocate pettv
:mpositions upon these women are belit
Ting themselves without in any degree
checking the great movement toward
equal suffrage.

The Single Term Proposition.

The postponement of the single term
presidential proposition seems justified
on two grounds: ID For its Importance
1t has had too little examination, and GU
its association with the Baltimore plat
form suggests that ii be dealt with by
Congress and an executive elected on
that platform.
1t is not new proposition, but the
recent campaign broadened its meaning
and emphasized the old meaning. AS at
present urged. 1t has to do not only with
the anti-third term tradition, but the
question of iengthening the single term
TO six years, so as to give an executive
sufficient time for carrying out policies
of his own origination.
As for personalities. they will not be
eliminated by the postponement. Neces-
sariiy, they will be revived And first
