PEACE MORE CAlAMlTOUS
TO INDUSTRY THAN WAR

London, Dec. 30.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) THAT the
return of peace may prove more
calamitous to industry than was the
outbreak of war. was suggested by
Prof Sidney Webb in lecture on
The Terms of Peace" at the open
ing of the London School of Econo-
mics.
I'VE have survived the outbreak
of war" he said, with amazingly
little economic distress. The uues-
tion now is whether, at the coming
of peace. we shall be able to take
the steps necessary to prevent the
terms of peace working out in mis-
cry and distress in hundreds of
thousands of households. If We are
to do so, the first of the terms of
peace. from the economic point of
view, must be: No disbandment of
the army. If men have jobs to go
to, or are willing to take the risks,
let them so; but. there must be
nobody turned out until they are
likely to be absorbed in industry"
As to terms Of peace, Prof Webb
counseled moderation. England
would do we'll" he urged, net TO
look for any indemnity. for indemni-
ties have habit of doing those
who exact them no good at all. Bel
GUM. of course. must be rehabili-
tated. We should hope to make a
peace which would leave the foe
without undue enlightenment or hu-
initiation. Humiliation is most
expensive luxury for victor to i'm
pose upon vanquished enemy. 1t
does not pay to have an embittered
enemy in the world"

ENTIRE BAVARIAN
BATTERY is KILLED

St Louis, Dec. 29.-That an entire
Bavarian battery save one man, was
killed in battle, is related in letter
received here Monday from Mrs. Ber-
tina Won Walshauser, of Grosskohln-
back, Bavaria. Mrs. Won Walshauser
wrote that her son John was the only
member of the battery to survive.
The letter continues:
John has fought in sixteen battles
since August 5. He still is in the best
of health. He has good luck, but We
never know what will happen. After
his company was annihilated, he was
made an officer of another battery on
the field of battle. He fought with his
new soldiers until help arrived. He
was then carried off the field exhaust

CAPITOL COMMISSION.

There seems 10 be a tendency de-
veloping at present to place vastly
moro power with the state board OF
affairs II the board is charged with
the duty of building the capitol, for
instance, IL will have to do the work
through others. as the board has
plenty of work to keep 1t busy. II
the board must hire architects and
builders and material experts, why
not leave the capitol commission just
where It Is to do that work? The
commission has done the square
thing In every instance. 1t has de-
voted many months to the study OF
plans and materials, and If they are
replaced. the state must pay other
men to do just what 1t has paid these
men to do.
The commission was named by the
last legislature, Williams has said
he wanted to put the work under the
board OF affairs, the new members,
for the most part, will want to carry
out what the governor desires. while
the old members will be loyal to
their own work OF two years ago.
Just where the balance of power
will fall Is not known, but it Is to
be sincerely hoped that the legisla-
ture will not waste another session
fighting over the capitol when the
question has been solved once-and
solved in "A manner that pleases every
citizen who is not interested in poll
tics or contracts.
There are In Oklahoma no other
three men more honorable than the
members of the capitol commission,
and there Is no use to parade the
capitol building in the press for an
other twelve months.

GOVERNMENT TOO CLOSE.

The founders of the government
brought government and people very
close together by requiring the presi-
dent to be elected every four years
and members of congress every two
years. Congressman are kept in poll
tics fully half the time and the peo-
pie are too frequently stirred up by
the presidential election 1t has
been but a short time since the
last presidential election, yet ,he
political parties are now looking over
their timber to see what they will
have to offer the people for presi-
dent. The republicans declare they
will win the national election on
the tariff issue, and the democrats
are not so sure but what they will.
Had the Roosevelt and Taft forces
been united, Wilson could not have
been elected, and the election in
November indicated that the demo-
cratic tariff was either misunder-
stood or not appreciated.
We are of the opinion that the
tariff Is not misunderstood radical
changes we're not made, business
was not disturbed, but laws were en-
acted in such a manner than changes
came gradually. And, while the laws
were maturing, the European war
took away the import duties and
put the necessity of revenue up TO
the people. The Wilson administra-
tion has not had a chance yet. The
tariff laws enacted are not all in full
operation. Scarcely month has
passed since the banking law was
learn of the beneficent influences of
the administration. No man can Judge
now of the merits of the legislation
passed. however the nation attrib-
utes its salvation from financial pan
ic an ruin to the new federal bank
ing law enacted under the Wilson
administration.
We have the greatest confidence in
Woodrow Wilson, We have the great
est confidence in democratic princi
pies OF government, and If the full
strength of the Wilson administra
ton can be realized before the mex.
election. there will be no fears to
entertain concerning Wilson's re-
election.

SUPERSTITION AND PET
PREJUDICE ABOUT HORSES

The list OF Old-tlme popular preJu-
dices which have been exploded or at
least scientifically combated, within
the last few years, is long one and
now some pet prejudices about horses
have come under the displeasure Of
those gentlemen who have scien-
tilic way of marshaling facts and de-
ducing conclusions. For untold years
most men who think about horses, or
at least who ride or drive them, have
felt suspicious OF, If not unkindly to-
ward, a horse with three white feet.
There is an ancient rhyme which runs
something IKE this:
One white foot, buy him;
Two white feet, try him:
Three white feet, deny him;
Four white feet, skin him and give
him to the crows.
The groundessness of this supersti-
tion has been abundantly shown, yet
it persists In countless minds, and a
man who has horse with three or
four white feet gets that venerable
part rhyme dinned into his ears many
times a month. A fair proportion of
the fastest, strongest. toughest and
most faithful horses have had and
have two, three and four white feet.
The latest instance of this kind to
come under popular observation was
Dunbar H., winner of this years Der
by. Dunbar has three white feet.
Another deeply rooted prejudice has
concerned the color of horses. A gray
has generally been esteemed a tough
and staying horse and a black horse
has been suspected of lack of stamina
A roam horse, either steel roam or
strawberry roam, has always been
sized up as hardy horse. A dun
horse was the last word in equine fee
bleness. A Cream-coored horse was
white horse, besides being hard to
keep looking clean. was believed to
be delicate Bays, Browns and sor-
rels have generally been judged on
points" and conformation, independ-
ent of the color question
Now comes upon the scene w. S.
Andrews, assistant in horse husbandry
at the Kentucky agricultural expert
ment station, who says that the
color of horse is no indication of
the real value of the animal and that
the statement cannot be made too en-
phatic that speed, Intelligence, vigor
and other good traits are inherited in
dependently of color" This authority
says that horse colors, as recognized
by the stud books, are gray. roam. dun,
bay, brown, black and chestnut, and
that his study of breeding records in
dicates that chestnut is recessiye to
all other colors; thatb lack is domi-
nant to chestnut and recessive to all
others; that bay is dominant to chest
nut and black and recessive to the
three coordinate colors, gray, roam
and dun 1t is in this connection that
the laws governing the heredity of
colors promises to be the greatest
value as an Indication of the method
OF further research for the laws CON
trolling the transmission, intelligence,
stamina, docility and all the qualities
which add to the value of the horse
