Getting Up a Newspaper.

The man that has to get up a
newspaper is in much the same sit
uation as the woman who prepares
family's meals. There are a few
things that the family is crazy
about, but the cook can't serve
these dishes, exclusively. Neither
can she have them every day. So
it is with the paper Occasionally,
you get hold of something that you
know in minute. everybody will
be crazy about. Three or four peo-
pie will do their best to bluff you
out of printing it but if you 60 on
and put it in. everybody will want
to see the paper. But like the cook,
you can't fill them up with the
choice stuff any one day, and much
OF the time we can't have any of it
at all. Day after day. you must
feed them all on cold biscuits and
other left overs. Then they toss
your little paper down, and say
there's nothing in it just as a family
looks over the table and says there
amt a thing to eat.-Lamar Demo-
crat.

The New Leadership of the World.

The riot of madness and folly
that is now going on in Europe
will cost us inconvenience and loss
in more ways than we can possibly
think of now. 1t will take six
months or possibly year to adjust
ourselves to the new conditions. If
ten million men were on strike in
Europe, the effect of strike would
be felt from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific in this western continent. The
ten millions and more are now not
only on strike, so far as labor is
concerned, but they are killing each
other and laying waste on every
side. Not only are they not Great
ing values, but they are destroying
values, wiping out not only men
but live stock and property of all
kinds. In addition to all this, these
nations, already under a crushing
burden of old debt too big for them
to bear, are now increasing the
debt, it is estimated, at the rate of
$20,000,000 day.
Now is the time for America to
take her place as the real leader of
civilization We really do not need
to import anything but spices and
diamonds from the Old World. We
can do without the first without
much sacrifice. and the latter is only
used because of our vanity. There
is no reason why. under our repub-
lican form of government, with the
powers of our rulers limited and
hedged in on every side, we should
not take ,ur place as the leading
civilized nation on the face of the
earth. We can endure the present
annoyances, however great. for the
sake of the greater good and more
real glory that will come to us, if
we are worthy of our heritage.
We have the best that Europe
can give We have the stock from
which to develop most magnifi-
cent people that the world has ever
seen. 1t will require US t. become
better farmers than we have ever
been. 1t will require us to forget a
lot of the wisdom that we have
learned. but which present events
show to be folly. We shall have
to take broader views in statesman
ship, in education, in religion than
we have ever taken before. But it
is possible, and not only possible
but probable, and not only proba-
bic but quite certain. if we ale
worthy of our heritage. to make
this country what 1t was apparent
ly intended to be by our Creator
the very crown and glory of civili-
cation.
To show that we are not alone in
this view, we quote an editorial ar
ticle from the Irish Homestead, of
Dublin, the editor of which is one
of the clearest independent thinkers
it has ever been our privilege to
know, profound student of socio-
logical and economics questions.
Under the title of The New Lead
ership of the World" he says:
1T is not only on the operations
of war that a veil has descended so
that we do not know what is hap
pening there. Darkness has de-
scended on the work of the builders
in society. the men and women who
in normal times endeavor by a
thousand ways, through art, litera-
ture, music, science and politics, to
unite humanity with what is eter-
nally true. beautiful and good. On

The roof of the building was GOV

entire roof was ablaze. In an hour
the roof was gone and the flames
were not yet under control Stu

through the smoke-fille halls. The

hundred students probably were in
the building at one time and out OF
the doors and windows flew mot

trunks, chairs and bed clothes. Pi-
amos, desks, equipments from the do

to safety, but much stuff was wreck

The upper floor in which the fire
started had never been finished. 1t

purposes, but was not completed.
The third floor was occupied en-

domestic art laboratories and class
rooms. The first floor, partially be-
low ground, was devoted to the stu

the work of housing the homeless
girls began, and inside of two hours
every girl had been provided for.
In order to divert the minds of
the students from the fire the harvest

GREAT TENOR
COMING HERR:
OCTOBER 80.
ENRlCO ARESONI AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM UNDER
AUSPICES OF ARDMoRE MUSIC
LOVERS ASSOCIATION.

1t will be of interest to know that
one of the important attractions of
the season will be a recital by one
of the principal tenors of the Chi
cago Opera company, Enrco Aresoni
Mr.. Aresoni is one of the new ac-
quisitions of the Chicago Philadel-
phia company. He has been engaged
to sing the dramatic roles, including
Othello, Samson, Trovatore, and Pag-
liacci. His voice Is described as a
rich dramatic tenor of wide range
and beautiful through its entire
compass. Before coming to America,
Aresoni was the principal tenor of
the Grand Opera, Nice, France and
before that he sang a series OF gala
performances at the new Municipal
Opera House, at Leon, France. In
Milan, however, he possibly reached
the highest point in his career in Eu-
rope. In Paris, he sang Samson" in
concert form, with symphony or
chestra and with the composer Saint
Saens conducting, which was, in all
ways, remarkable. in the summer
of 1912 Aresoni sang the fashionable
Concerts du Eursaal, Ostend, with
the famous Ostend Symphony Orches-
ira of 125 pieces. He was engaged
for one concert, but was retained
to give five additional appearances.
This is an honor that has fallen to
but few singers, and the worlds
greatest have sung at Ostend Dur
ing the season of 1928 Aresoni was
one of the leading tenors of the
Boston opera house, and his Ameri-
can success coming on top Of the
furore he created in Europe, leaves
no doubt as to his position as one
of the great tenors of the present
day.

T0REDUCE THE
EXPENSES
PRESIDENT PLANS TO ADOPT
THE BUDGET SYSTEM OF HAN
DLING EXPENDITURES OF THE
GOVERNMENT

Washington, Oct. 17.-President
Wilson today reiterated his deter
mination that government appropri-
ations next year shall be less than
those of this year. He told callers
every effort would be made to keep
expenditures down and said he had
strongly impressed this on members
Of the cabinet and of the senate and
house.
President Wilson is hopeful of the
establishment soon of a budget sys-
iem, under which the finances of the
government could be handled in a
more businesslike way. Because of
the limited time in the next session
of congress, however. he thought it
would be impossible to create such
a system before the next congress.

alaska LAND
BILL GOES To
PRESIDE n 7
MEASURE THROWING OPEN COAL
DEPOSITS TO LEASING SYSTEM
AWAITS PRESIDENTS SIGMA
TURE TO BECOME LAW.

Washington, Oct 17-Given up as
dead legislation less than week
ago, the Alaska coal land leasing
bill, revived at the instance of Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Lane
as part of the administration pro-
gram of this session, awaits only the
presidents signature to become a
law. 1t went through its final Or
deal in the house today virtually
without opposition.
The bill is designed to throw open
to a system of leases under competi'
tive bidding the immense coal re-
sources of Alaska, tied up the last
eight years, and pending claim will
be adjudicated within year. The
Bering river, Matanuska and Nena
coal fields will be first surveyed, the
government retaining 5,120 acres of
the Bering and 1850 acres in the
Matanuska fields, and one-half of
all other coal areas. To prevent
monopoly or in other emergencies,
the government reserves the right
to mine coal for the benefit of the
army and navy or for the operation
of the government railroads in
Alaska.
Leases will be made in blocks of
forty acres, or multiples of that
amount, not exceeding 1850 acres al
toge her in any one lease, and TO
run rot more than fifty years. Pres
ent coal land claimants may reh;. -
quish their rights to patent un ler
the old law, payments being refunded.
Royalties paid by lessees must be
at least &c a ton, with a maximum
unrestricted. Proceeds from leases
will be useable only to reimburse
the government for building the Alas.
kan railway.
"1 his is the end of an eightsyear
strugsle" said Secretary Lahe TO-
!, ght. "The enactment of the bill
is real victory for sensible anti
monopoly policy.
"Three-fifths of a true conserva-
ton program-a railroad for Alas
ka, a new reclamation law and the
Alaska coal leasing bill-have been
crystallized into law. The other two
measures, which already have passed
the house and will come before the
senate in December are the water
power bill and a measure under which
our oil, phosphate and potash lands
may be opened and put to use"

Among the performers whose eX

tators at the Barnum e Bailey circus
which exhibits here Tuesday, Oct 20,
is Pupeta Perea, a newcomer to the
world of American "white tops" from
Mexico, fleeing gladly from the rev.

sequent political unrest. Her father
accompanies her with the remnants
of a fortune accumulated in cattle
raising near Monterey, and which
became the prey of insurrectos.
The girls wonderful agility as
serted itself in early life. She was
the marvel of her schoolgirl friends
in hazardous feats in mid-air and
amazed older behollers who witness
ed her exploits. Then one day there
came, during the fest days of De-
cember, a grand display in El Toreo,
Mexico City's famous bull-ring before
President Madero and his dignitar-
les. Senorita Perea's apparatus was
stretched from barrier to barrier,

her aerial exhibition is still remem-

into professionalism dates from her
triumph upon that occasion. 1t was
not long before her fame had spread
all through the republic of Mexico.
Her talents are not vested solely in
her 1.-THE and nimble body. When

aerialists, acrobats, chariot drivers
and all the other multifarious figures
and features Of the big show are
being put in black and white. This
little beauty of the circus-for she
is a beautiful girl-has twelve diff
ferent costumes which she carries
with her despite the protests of the
circus property men. Then too, she
has stunning street attire, and Sen
orita Perea has "off and on" the
reputation Of being the best dressed

The circus comes here in new dress
and trappings and with a perform

Prof. Metzgar of the agricultural de-

he would this year produce on his plot,

to rebuild the machine properly and to

ACTION UPON TREATIES
WILL Be POSTPONED
Senate Committee Will Refuse to
Act at Present
Session.

Unless forced to act by some unfore-
seen or unexpected circumstances. there
will be no further action on treaties
by the Senate committee on foreign
relations at this session of Congress
This determination on the part of the
democratic members Of the COMMITTEES
was declared today to be final and
copper riveted." Members Of the COM
mittee, however. are not discussing this
decision for publication.
The attitude of the committee is ap-
plicable to the pending treaty with
Colombia, the proposed Nicaraguan
canal strip treaty. which has not been
sent to the Senate, and the new in
vestisation peace treaties negotiated by
Secretary Bryan and sent to the Senate
yesterday by President Wilson.
Determination not to report the
Colombian treaty at this session also
carries with it decision to hold no hear
ings at this time and to let the request
of Col. Roosevelt to be heard in op-
position to the treaty pass without ac-
ton.
Because of the committees attitude
1t is not probable that a quorum will
attend any future meetings, unless. as
one senator put 1t. Unforeseen circum-
stances demand the committees atten-
