SENATOR OWEN INTRODUCES
SEVERAL LIQUOR BILLS

Washington, Dec 16.-Assault upon
or murder of federal officer enforc-
ing the prohibition law in that portion
of Oklahoma that was formerly Indian
Territory, is made triable in the fed
eral court under terms of a bill intro
duced by Senator Owen of Oklahoma.
The bill arises out of the killing of a
federal enforcement officer in Tulsa
about a year ago.
The bill also proposes to render
more difficult to possess liquors in
that section of the state, which, under
terms of a supreme court decision, is
still Indian country" When a person
is found possessing more than one gal
lon of intoxicating liquors, proof OF
such possession is made prima facie
evidence of introduction under terms
of the law now applicable to the east
ern federal district of oklahoma.
Another feature of the bill would
give authority to the federal court of
the eastern district, or its commits
sioners' courts, to issue search war
rants, upon proper oath or affirmation
under which marshal or deputy
liquor enforcement officer working un-
der commission from the federal gov
ernment may institute search where
there appears probable cause for be-
lieving intoxicating liquors are held.
Another bill by Senator Owen, deal
ing with the enforcement of the pro
hibition law in eastern Oklahoma, de
clares it to be a violation of the laws
of the United States to introduce in
toXicating liquors into any state whose
laws forbid the introduction of such
liquors.

TRENCH DIGGING BREAKS
RECORD OF PANAMA CANAL

Washington, Dec. 16.-While the
government of the United States is
lamenting the delay that has been
caused by slides in the Panama canal,
officials of the state department
have received through the French EN-
bassy some startling statistics cal
culating the amount of soil that has
been moved in the work of trench
making. There are about 800 miles
of first line trenches all the way
from the North Sea to Switzerland.
And there are five or six lines OF
trenches on each side. A total of ten
lines of trenches on the two sides
would give length of about 5000
miles, and this, says the statistician,
has involved a task of excavation
twice as great as that of the Panama
canal. And it all his been done by
hand labor and with military shovels,
while much of it has been done under
fire and by men who have to work
while lying on their chests.

STATE LAWS PREVAIL
OVER CITY CHARTERS

Oklahoma City, Dec. 16.-The state
has sovereign interest in matters
concerning law enforcement under
state laws and city charters that are
in apparent contravention of this are
superseded by such state laws. This
is the gist of an opinion by Justice
Hardy of the supreme court in the
case wherein Foster y. Burns, de-
posed chief of police of Tulsa, sought
to secure a writ of prohibition to keep
District Judge Conn Linn in Tulsa
from sitting in the trial of charges
against him.
The opinion holds that charter pro
visions in a commission form of city
government superseded all laws of
the state in so far as the latter re-
late to merely municipal matters;
that such charter provisions do not
supercede the general laws of the
state as to matters in which the state
has a sovereign interest, and where
provisions of such charter conflict
with the general laws such general
laws will prevail.

FRANCE SEEKS BIG
AMOUNT OF COAL

New York, Dec. 16.-Demand for
American coal by the French govern
ment is becoming so urgent and the
shortage of steamships for its trans
portation so acute that coal dealers
here say France may be compelled be-
fore long to establish a government
fleet of steamers to obtain an ade-
quate supply OF fuel. Ordinarily they
say, France consumes 60,000,000 tons
of coal year, about half of which she
has hitherto obtained from Germany,
Belgium and England Reports that
France now needs 25,OO0,OOO tons from
this country to fulfill her annual re
quirements are said Dy local dealers
to be exaggerated but they assert that
the French requirements are far be
yond any amount this country had ev-
er before been called upon to ship
to any one nation.
With the great advance in trans-At-
lantic freight rates and the difficulty
in obtaining steamers for shipment of
supplies. American exporters are sug-
gesting to the French government
that its only safe course would be to
purchase steamships or to take them
on long time charters for coal traf-
fc.
Exporters here say that not only
France, but most of the European and
many South American nations are
looking tO this country for coal

surprise. Labor leaders had certain
ly taken defiant attitude toward the
board of control, but nothing occurred
out of the normal.
Taking the whole of London, the re
ception of the rules has been favor
able. When the public houses began
the sale of alcoholic drinks at the
noon hour the first day under the new
regime there was not observed any
increase in drinking until the period
closed at 2:3O. Nor was there any
attempt to crowd in an unusual mum
Der OF drinks during the two hours
the bars were open in the evening,
! The sale of temperance drinks be-
tween the prohibited hours was slight,
In a few quarters, where men are EN-
ployed on all-night work, certain
houses have been allowed to open for
limited time in the early morning.
Among the curious results of regula-
ton, the person who fails to lay in
his private stock of whiskey or other
spirits before 2:30 O'Clock Friday af-
ternoon, will have to spend dry week
end as he must wait until Monday
noon. Even in the private rooms of
a hotel, one who treats member of
his own family to a drink is liable
to a heavy fine The hours during
which alcohol may be consumed in
clubs is the same as in the case of
public bars. Restaurants are not al
lowed to extend credit for meals at
which intoxicating drinks are sold, as
the credit system is done away with
entirely The extreme penalty for a
breach of these regulations is six
months at hard labor and $500 fine.
One of the most effective measures
to promote temperance is the abolish
ment of credit at the bars. This struck
severely the business of bars giving
credit to wOrkmen. In the old days,
men used to gather in the bar and
drink on credit, with the result they
had little or nothing left out of their
wages when paid.
1t is not the intention of the con-
troll board bring about prohibition,
but to promote temperance. This work
is supplemented by the Home Coun-
ties Public House Trust, which lately
took over the control of a well known
saloon in a central district and plans
to extend its influence. The place was
remodeled so as to get away from the
old idea of the drinking palace and to
introduce the cafe system with tables,
reading matter and friendly games.
Alcoholic drinks are sold. but the
management receives a bonus on all
temperance drinks.
Saloon men, in fact, are just now
beginning to realize that the profits
on temperance drinks exceed those
on liquors. There is twice the profit
in "a cup of tea that there is in a glass
of ale But heretofore the owners as
sociated the sale of soft drinks with
teetotalism and opposed their intro
duction.

Store News-Advertising.

Joseph II. Appel director of publicity for the John
Wanamaker stores of New York and Philadelphia,
speaking before the retail advertisers meeting pro-
nounced the newspaper the paramount force in effective
advertising.
Retail advertising is the peoples guide in their
everyday living said Mr. Appel sThe newspaper is
the natural medium for retail advertising and for all
advertising Newspapers circulate in the densest
tiers OF population where also congregaed the largest
stores with the greatest volume of merchandise So they
are therefore the most efficient mediums for all adver
Using
advertising is the speech of business. Advertis
ing is to business what language is to man-its mode
of sefexpresson business that will not advertise is
both deaf and dumb and heavily handicapped in the
worlds progress deaf and dumb man.
Advertising that is saturated with human interest
is bound to be most widely read. The word news as
printed in American newspapers has come to mean
human interest Stores must tell their own news in
human interest way.
Efficient advertising requires the writer's personal
examination OF the merchandise and the hearing of the
story of its purchase directly from the lips of the buyer
who secured the merchandise in the wholesale market
Merchandise is dumb until seen-then it speaks
louder than words To bring people into the store see
the merchandseto speak for the merchandise until it
can speak for itsethat is the first step advertising
Advertising must square up with the merchandise
and with the store To square up with the merchandise
and with the store must be accurate To be accurate
advertising must be truthful Advertising is as honest
the who signs his to it. store as honest
as its advertising =" +. .@.&|
Honesty in business usually means life; dishonesty
surely means death.
Honesty is comparative or relative. Honesty
is absolute means telling and living the truth the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
1.-The brazen big type, blatant extravagant advertis-
ing is evidence that still in the pioheer stage Of
civilization The only economic for advertising
Is to make more efficient the distribution of merchandise
Advertising when efficient does lower the cost
OF commodities because it becomes the million tongue
