URGE NEED Of
DONE FOR THE
CAPITOL BLDG,
COST OF BUILDING MAY BE IN
CREASED - PLANS CALLS FOR
DOME - BUT WILL REQUIRE
EXTRA MONEY.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 10.-lf the
state capitol that is now being erect
ed in this city at a cost of sl,5OO,0OO
shall be completed without the eX-
penditure of from a quarter to a
half million more, it will no doubt
be because Governor Williams will
probably veto the appropriations. In
the replies to the letter of the gov
ernor from members and senators
whose opinion was invited as to sub
jects for submission several, includ-
ing the Oklahoma City members,
have urged that one of the pressing
things needing attention is an appro
priation for a dome to the capitol.
Senator McMechan of this city in
his letter points out that the dome
can be built while the work of con-
struction is going on at much less
cost than if it be left to some future
time after the building shall have
| been completed.
In the course of his letter the SEN
ator says:
II am informed by the architect
that if a dome is built at this time
instead of a saucer dome, as called
for by the contract, there would be
saving to the taxpayers of this
state of between $4,000 and 100000.
| am quite sure that the taxpayers
and citizens of this state will never
be satisfied with the capitol building
unless a dome is erected thereon and
now is the time to complete the cap
itol so far as the dome is concerned
because it can be done at so much
less cost than it could be if delayed
until a future time and until the
building machinery is all dismantled
And again, an appropriation should
be made at this time for the purpose
of building terrace wall. The capt.
lOl can llOl Dt Nolllpl'NOu "i'iOut ~
and the James Stewart company
would no doubt furnish the stone at
much less cost before they dismantle
their quarry than it could be built
for in years to come. The appro-
priations for completing the dome
and building the terrace wall could
be made by the special session, if
one is called, and the levy made in
| 1917, and in, that way the burden
would not fall so heavily upon the
taxpayers"
A dome could not be placed on
the building within the sum available
when the plans were made. Never
theless, the capitol commission had
building designed that needs a
dome to complete it and the arcHi-
tect's drawing for the building con
| tanned specifications for dome The
engraved letterheads in use by a
number of the departments of the
state bear a fac simile of capitol
with a dome. 1t seems to be one of
the things that are certain to come
about that the people of Oklahoma
will have a capitol building with a
dome like that at Washington, even
if the cost shall be half a million
dollars more than the capitol that
has been contracted for.

Grace Strong. 13-year-old girl,
was badly scalded by stepping into a
hot spring at Steamboat Springs near
Reno recently. She was playing with
several other children at the springs
and was throwing stones into a pool
when the accident happened. The
injury is not fatal and the physician
in attendance reports that she will
soon be around again.
1t is stated on good authority that
before the first of November the du-
ties of the members of the Nevada
State police will be materially chang
ed. 1t is the intention to have one
of the present force in charge of the
Bertillon system, with some of the
TRUSTEES at the State prison to assist
in the routine work workk, bbsa: bbsa: have nothing
to do with the records of the depart
ment. The other members of the
force will probably be employed as
extra guards and held in readiness
to be called in case of emergency.

as it would make an impossible condition.
Drinks may be sold 20 any person with

matically loses the same.
We claim a man that has been drunk three
times and reached the condition where be IS

A Federal Lobster Nursery.

Have you heard the long, loud salvos OF

will tell you, in the latest report Of the
Bureau Of Fisheries, as he has told all the
world which reads such documents, that
there's terrible state Of affairs in the

per cent. Yet (take notice, all ye who pro-
test when the genial servitor presents the
check this shrunken supply has IN
creased 178 per cent in value to the gentry
who haul in the lobster pots.
Now. though Secretary Redield comes
from Brooklyn, he fully recognizes what
this condition means 10 the metropolis. And
Broadway isn't going to lose its Holsters
at least, those Of marine nativity-h ne
can help it. lie and his experts have
plan farreaching in scope, a sort OF Gu
genics system for Holsters, in which abides
the highest hope for the future. There Is

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In this country without doubt there
is enjoyed the greatest degree of individual
freedom, yet our laws regulating the treat
ment Of disease as they are at present in
tcrpreted by our courts restrict most de
cidedly personal liberty. l refer particularly
20 the case of the People versus Franklin W
Sears, recently tried in the Court Of Special
Sessions, Part VI, in which the defendant was
found guilty of practising medicine without
a license, although it was clearly shown by
the evidence presented that he gave treat
ments not for specific diseases but for peace
and harmony.
Is It inimcal to the public health and well
fare for a person 70 seek relief from the
Ills that may be manifestlns in his body or
environment By endeavoring to secure mental
and spiritual poise and harmony Thou

British Diplomacy.
tor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your leading articles are very IN
teresting and always hit the mark, but IN
saving that British diplomacy failed in the
Balkans you are wrong.
was under the impression that you were
aware how seriously British diplomacy was
handicapped there, but since you are not
aware of the adverse conditions under which
Britain negotiated there it would not be
polite for me TO inform you, not at present,
but will later on, provided you do not find
out through others.
One reason why Britain has been so un-
successful in her field operations il the
proverbial slowness Of the Briton in getting
started. You know it is almost an impos-
sbility for Briton TO hurry. The British
are not as jumpy as the Germans and French,
but they are getting bit of hustle on,
which will tell in the spring, probably befor,
then. History repeats itself. The Germans
are saying the same about the British to-
day as Napoleon said about them over one
hundred years ago. Napoleon lost, as also
will Germany.
Germany, in spite OF all her buster and
bluff, is to-day shaking in her shoes and
Britain knows il.
Germany at the most can't hold out longer
than May 1915; that is her limit; and very
soon you will see most surprising change
in the Balkans.
Britain, as you know, has not begin TO
fight yet. Britain will be at her full strength
when the Central Powers are done for.

ment that there Is a possible doubt as TO the
ability of the Building Bureau to inspect

ical appolntee Of the Labor Bureau, the

COMSTOCK SCHOOL OF
MINES BRANCHES OUT
SCOPE or BENEFITS OF THE IN
sTITUTloN WILL BE
5RoADENED

The Virginia school of mines con-
tinues to widen its scope of benefits
and is showing that no mistake was
made when the recent legislature al
lowed the appropriation as formerly,
says the Virginia City Enterprise.
There was an increase in member
ship at this institution when affairs
were darkest. This occurred during
,he session of the legislature. a fact
that could have been mentioned in
the schools behalf at the time.
The merit and showing of the
school were deemed sufficient to pass
the bill and the fact that the mem
bership had increased was not men
toned.
The laboratories have been used
recently to test rocks and ores grom
various points OF the state and con-
siderable work of this character has
been done. Uranium and yenadium
are ores that have been treated there
and the results were most satisfac-
tory.
A pachuca tank has been installed
with a capacity of twenty-five pounds
of rock. This has been added TO the
25O-pound perculation plant, thus two
different methods of treatment of all
kinds of gold and silver ores are to
be had. This is the same as used IN
laboratories in all large plants. BY
the addition of this tank the mining
school becomes a miniature cyanide
plant and the students are afforded
the practical as well as the theoret-
ical side of assaying.
The establishment of the Tonopan
school of mines was one of the wise
moves of the last legislature. The
success of the local establishment
has shown that mining schools in
this state would no longer be new
departure. We predict the success
of the new Tonopah school if an in
structor of the type of Prof. Smith
who will not only teach the students
the science but who will have th'
interests of his charge at heart, Il
appointed We further predict tina
the success of the Tonopah and VII
ginia schools will result in the crea
ton of many more schools through
out the mining districts at the mex
session of the legislature.
