NOT BEGGARED BY ITS MISFORTUNE.

1t is fortunate for the whole world that Italy
held back from the war and that it had relief
chest full when 1t was stricken by the earthquake
Had the peninsula kingdom been beggared by this
catastrophe the strain on that part of the world
not engaged in war would have been almost too
great.
But it turns out that Italy has IFS resources prac-
hcally unmpared to be used for the work Of re-
lief Hundreds Of thousands of distressed persons
are to be cared for according to reports Had Italy
been at war in what position would Il be to deal
with all additional burden such as is now imposed
upon it2 And except for such aid AS it may have
from the United States there is none 10 share the
burden with it. No great nation of Europe is in a
position to give help. The small nations which are
not al war are weighted with the responsibilities
of neutrality and some of them especially Holland
feel the strain Of relief given Belgium
There has been a large drain on this country for
relief Of Belgium and conditions here have not been
such that the usual lavish popular response could
be given to calls for help from the outside
Italy more than would have been the case at
any time since its last earthquake calamity is de-
pendent upon its own resources and recuperatiye
powers in this great emergency Fortunately in a
large sense it is unweakened by war though the
prevalence of war has caused it to make large ex-
pendtures in consideration for national safety and
in expectation Of entering into war for realization
Of a cherished national aspiration
But no irreyocable step had been taken and in
consequence Italy has for its necessary work of re-
lief and rehabilitation the vast sums that would
have been wasted in the destructive competitions
of the battlefield. National resources which had
been husbanded for begerent purposes can now
be diverted from the war chest to the treasury of
mercy

TO MAKE PROHIBITION PROHIBIT

The lower house of the Legislature wants to
make prohibition law that will actually prohibit
it may be CLEANED from the action that has been
taken by that body 1t would make a law 50 strict
that the booteggers would not dare to violate it.
The members of the lower house probably de
serve three rousing cheers for their attitude but
they should not overlook the fact that even after
the laws are made they are placed IN the hands
Of elected officials for enforcement II is safe to
say that nne-tcnths of the people Of the state, es
pecially those who live in the cities and towns,
have tired Of the farce known as prohibition in
Oklahoma There Is nothing wrong with the law,
except that il is not enforced.
And it is doubtful if any other laws that may
be passed by the legislature will he of benefit as
far us prohibition is concerned. 1t all rests with
the officials who are elected to execute the laws
They can close every booteggng Joint in the state
now if they desire to do 50, and never let them
open again II is in their power to make proh
biton absolute in the state inside of twenty-four
hours The officers themselves know II and every
body knows it.
Legisating more prohibition upon Oklahoma
now is too much like passing laws to make us all
prosperous whether we exert any effort in that d-
recton or not Existing laws arc good enough to
bring prosperity and all the Legislation that can
be enacted will not make prosperous men Of the
idle, the trifling and the unambitious
If the members Of the legislature think it can
be done, however, there is nothing in the world to
prevent them from going ahead and trying it.

DEFEATED WOMEN ARE UNDIsMAYED.

The spirit in which the result of the campaign
for the suffrage amendment is taken by its gen
erals and captains after the vote in congress is bet
ter evidence of the quality of the campaigners than
anything that has yet developed in the course of
their scgcs and assaults upon the defenSes of the
enemy
The women who want the ballot were defeated
yet they do not count it a defeat They seem to
regard it as simply Staving off Of final victory
This attitude is more convincing with regard to
their qualifications for the equal rights to which
they aspire than anything else that was revealed
Of them in the course of their effort to have them
selves lowered with the white man burden.
II has been said that the safety OF republics is
in the ucQuiescence Of mnoritics in the expressed
will Of the majority The manner in which the ad-
vocates of woman suffrage have accommodated
themselves to the majority expression in this in
stance is altogether cOmmendable Persons who
are thus able to govern themselves give proof Of
possession of qualities that are held to be proof of
capacity for participation in all the processes Of
government
In the meantime those who want the ballot will
not to work in the different states where the
privilege has not yet been granted 10 them This
attitude in the face of defeat is admirable II is
defeat no matter how the women and their friends
in congress may speak Of it, but the fact that it
leaves them uncrushed in spirit and with purpose
unimparcd depriyes it Of the quality of a rout. 1t
IS not defeat that carries with IT generalization

PRICE OF WHEAT WILL BE HIGHER

The demand for wheat abroad will result in the
price going as high az two dollars bushel If it con-
tinues to the end Of the present winter That is
the prediction of John Holm chief of the division
Of statistics Of the department Of commerce. The
advice to farmers to hold their wheat was given,
il will be remembered by the department of com.
merce.
Such price for wheat would make the farm
ers prosperous or at least il would mean prosperity
for those who accepted the advice Of the federal
department and have wheat for sale, but it will
be tough for the rest of us who have to buy wheat
in the form Of bread
The situation is becoming complicated however,
on account of the investigation that was ordered
by the government of the report that Chicago spec
ulators were comerng the market and causing the
present bulge in prices The investigation was
made by Albert i. Hopkins assistant United States
attorney, and he reported that the demand for
wheat does not warrant the present price, in view
OF the fact that such large crop was raised last
year. He said il was because the farmers were
holding their wheat
Two opposite views are taken by two men con
nected with the government service, which leaves
the rest of us in the air, so to speak We do not
know that the wheat is being held back by the
farmers, The attorney has only general informs-
non on the subject obtained at the headquarters
OF the grain trade Of the United States
This information should be authentic. but many
man has obtained information from the same
source and has believed il authentic TO the extent
OF betting all he possessed on IT, After which he

WHEN THE WOMEN TAKE A HAND.

1t is easy for the women Of the United States
TO do great deal for their country when they de
eide to make the move All they have to do is to
stand together and 'hey will finally win This is
true even when they are opposed by the men, but
il is far easier when they take action that is ap.
proved by the other sex
The women have organized a National Made in
the United States league. the only unuieldy thing
about the organization being IT'S name The pur-
pose of the league is to enroll 20 100000 of women
to pledge themselves to buy wherever possible
things that are made in the United States at least
rs long as the European war lasts
The league reports a very distinguished list OF
honorary patrons and honorary chairmen, inelud-
ing the wives of the vice president and the speaker
OF the house Of representatives and the wives of
cabinet ministers governors of states, senator's and
representatives. in congress, and so on
Perhaps the most curious thing about this new
league Is that It is purely voluntary, without mem
bership dues without meetings to attend, and all
one need do to become member is to sign pledge
to buy wherever possible things made in the United
States while the war lasts, and 10 urge others to
do the same thing.
II goes without saying that if the women are
united ON any point they will have their way. They
form the great majority Of the shopping army and
there is no doubt that the movement non-partisan
and nation wide will operate favorably to show
that certain things, staple articles, are made IN the
United States as well and as cheaply AZ anywhere
else

COURT DEAF TO APPEAL OF
 CLUB RETAINING LIQUOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 2.-Card and social clubs in Alaska must pay a license to retail liquors the same as prescribed for saloons, it was indi- cated today when the United States circuit court of appeals denied the petition for a rehearing in an action which sought relief from the imposi- ton. The case in question originated at Nome, after a social club had been forbidden to retail liquor without saloon license.
 The court held that no error had been made in the Nome district court at the original trial of the case. At that time the case was appealed to the circuit court here and the Nome decision was affirmed.
