THE BIBLES ENDURANCE.

The Bible is perpetually recanoniz-
ing itself by its enduring application
to and influence on experience, wheth-
er of peace or of war Despite its in
ability during the last year to enter
some countries with its colporteurs,
the American Bible society announces
that sales during the year just closed
have been exceptionally large, a total
of 6,370,465 volumes, many of them
separate books of the biblical library.
This includes the number printed as
well as sold for the society in foreign
lands. From the headquarters in New
York the years output was 2,416,4 AIS
volumes. The total record of the so
ciety for its nearly 100 years of exist
ence has been los, 9,S90,356 volumes
Compared. with this case of demand
and supply, how ephemeral and small

LEARNING THRIFT LESSONS.

Unquestionably the American people
might learn many valuable lessons by
enrolling as students in the German
school of thrift. 1t is certain that
some substantial progress might be
made in the effort to mitigate the
evil OF poverty If more attention we're
given to the cultivation Of habits of
thrift. and economy. From early life
children should be taught to earn
something and save a part OF what
they earn, acquiring the idea of sacri-
flee OF some present pleasures for fu-
ture good
The Germans have for many years
been recognized as among the most
thrifty people in the world. To their
habits OF thrift must in some measure
be attributed their ability to meet the
present crisis in their country, grow
ing out of the shutting off Of outside
food supplies. Amid the strenuous
activities necessitated by war they arc
still stressing the cultivation of the
thrift habit among their children. Ac-
cording to correspondent, the chill
dren in the Berlin schools are being
taught the following Ten Command
ments:
/. Everybody must save, for only IL
everybody saves win Germanys sup
plies hold out.
2. Waste no food. not even the most
unimportant.
Q. Take time for eating, and chew
thoroughly.
4. Avoid all eating between meals.

and be economical with bread.
6. Be economical with butter, and
eat cheese, fruit sauces and marmalade

OKLAHOMA ROADS.

Any number of good roads laws may
be enacted but they will accomplish
nothing unless the people proceed to
utilize them. After ALL the important
thing is enterprise and persistence up
ON the part OF the communities that
need better highways. 1t seems that
there are some sections of Oklahoma
where the citizens are fully alive TO
the value of good roads and are bend
ing their energies toward building
them. To encourage our own citizens
in the good work we print the follow
ing from the Oklahoma City Times:
Business men and citizens of Wa
tonga, in Blaine county, Thomas in
Custer county and Wetumka in Hughes
county, are organizing themselves in
to road working associations and are
taking active steps in the improving
of highways leading into the various
cities.
''At Watonga meetings have been
held at which the provisions of the
new road law were discussed and
plans made to do effective work on
the roads there. The Blaine County
Good Roads association will assist IN
the work. Meetings of the association.
with citizens of the town, will be held
regularly.
"citizens of Thomas and Custer
county have become interested In the
building of state road, which will go
from Thomas to Weatherford and from
Thomas to Custer City and also to
Putnam and Taloga, and work viii be-
begun On the project within a short
time. The county commissioners OF
Custer county viii assist in laying out
the roads. In addition TO this roads
leading to other directions into the
county from Thomas will be improved

Thomas with other smaller communi-
ties by means of system Of good
roads.

CHICAGO PROF.
FEARS FAMINE
By United Press.


Chicago, June 16.-There is grave
danger that famine will descend upon
the United States some time in the
near future, according to Prof John M.
Coulter, head of the department Of
botany of Chicago university. Popu-
lation here, said the professor, Is in
creasing twenty times faster than the
food supply.
"We ought to have enough foodstuffs
in this country to feed the world, SAID
Prof. Coulter. Instead, we soon shall
not have enough to feed ourselves.
This growing discrepancy between
food production and population is the
basis Of the high cost of living.
-Four remedies present themselves
to prevent famine in the United States.
First. we should develop scientific
methods of soil cultivation. We must
manipulate the soil properly, and farm
intensively. as the Europeans do. BY
scientific treatment of the soil crops
can be increased 300 per cent in the
United States.
Second, we must plant on every
area the crop which will give the
maximum yield in that section. StoT

try to raise potatoes in swamps- Toe

pears to be having trouble to get bids

ported that they are contemplating the
use of some other material for Okla
homa stone in the construction of the
building. Our notion is that it would
be better to alter the plans than to
take this course. AS far as possible
the building should be constructed of
Oklahoma material and we feel sure
that the commission will make hit
with the people by proceeding to act
according to that policy.

The Car Carrying Ratio.

A car seating standard is undoubt-
edly required in Washington. to
check the packing of the street rail-
way vehicles to the point of intense
discomfort and even of danger. The
public utilities commission is now to
consider the matter. with the view Of
aseertaining fair ratio between the
seating capacity of the car and the
number actually carried. From 50 to
Is per cent of "standees" is suggest
ed as fair proportion. A car seat
ing forty people often carries now as
many as ninety persons. With a per-
missible standing capacity of so per
cent of the seating capacity the car
would hold sixty persons. With Is
per cent permitted it would hold sew
enty persons. Any car that carries
thirty people standing in the aisle il

crowded, and any more than that
constitutes dangerous congestion.
Assuredly Is per cent beyond the
seating capacity would be as tar as
public comfort and security permit.
There are two points of view in this
matter. that of the person who OBJ
tains access to car and that OF one
who wants to board a car. They are
essentially different. The man who
gets on a car before it is packed is
a sufferer from the congestion. His
safety is endangered. His toes are
trampled upon. The air he breathes
is vitiated. He has to struggle to
leave the car at his destination. But
the man who is waiting for chance
to ride looks with disfavor upon any
rule that forces the motorman to
hang Car Full' sign on the front
and to pass him by when a certain
percentage of the seating capacity is
represented by standing passengers.
The would-be passenger who is left
stranded on the street while filled
car goes by always feels cheated of
his rights. He is usually in hurry
and feels entitled to be taken up by
the first car that comes, regardless of
its condition. For the waiting pas
senger the commission must plan. as
well as for the riding passenger. The
establishment of a ratio will not
meet his needs. Only through addi-
tional service can he be accommo-
dated

Justice Hughes and the Presidency.

Some friends of Justice Hughes
desire his permission to boom him
for President He denies their re-
quest, and is right, of course. in do
ing so. He is not a candidate, and
could not with his sense of pro-
priety become one. He is satisfied
where he is What his views of the
political situation and of his party's
chances next year may be is not an
nounced He is taking no part what
ever in politics.
1t is to be doubted. however, if the
statement is authorized, or is infer
able from what Judge Hughes has
said, that if nominated he would not
accept. He is republican, and the
presidency is the highest Office in the
gift of the people. If, therefore, his
party in national convention should
call upon him to carry its standard
he could not decline. The nomna-
ton would be in the nature OF
command. Almost as well might he
take the ground that if elected Pres-
dent he would not serve.
The matter may take this shape in
the republican national convention:
Protracted balloting. resulting in a
deadlock; the favorite sons tried out,
and all found lacking the necessary
strength; compromise man in de-
mand-a man assured of strength
among both republicans and bull
moosers.
Given that condition of things, and
one can see how the presentation of
the name of Justice Hughes by some
orator of power in tones and terms
to rattle the rafters would probably
affect the convention. The text would
lend itself to stirring platform ap-
peal. The man is able. worthy and
faithful to the Constitution. He has
been tried in several high places and
found capable. His nomination
would not be the triumph of dark
horse. He has been in the limelieht
longer than some of the men now
prominent with their own consent in
presidential speculation.
1t is neither necessary nor proper
to boom Justice Hughes for the
presidency. If the situation develops
SO as to make his candidacy desir-
able he can be found. No delegate
to the republican national convention
will be in ignorance of the mans
character or record. If he is bal
loted for it will not be as a favorite
son, or as an eastern man, or as
coiorless quantity, but as a man
known by reputation in all the states.
and known for positive qualities and
for things done in Office of a posi-
tive character with highly beneficial
results
