Among those who have not given at
tention to the latest investigations and
the newest methods employed in deal
ing with the social evil. the opinion Is
quite prevalent that segregation is the
most successful system. Relative to
this notion the Wichita Beacon says
The government Of Chicago has just
adopted the Iowa red light law
This ordinance was passed under
the sanction of bill just enacted by
the legislature of Illinois. The Iowa
red light law does away with the red
light district.
1t means the abolition Of vice segre.
cation and the Chicago Tribune says
that the whole community of Chicago
is in favor of this and that Chicago
will never see the return of the red
light district
What clean. wholesome, strong
note this Is, and 1t is already getting
results in Chicago. Vice conditions
are. giving way before the intelligent
attack Of an honest and courageous
official life.
At an hour when Wichita is talking
about the re-opening OF fremont street.
when its police department prattles
about the need Of segregating vice and
thereby licensing 1t. isn't 1t relief to
find that the world elsewhere is going
forward? Honest men are not giving
up the fight, but great city like Chi
cago refuses to believe in the rotten
program that vice should be licensed
as necessary evil.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES.
ATTEND THE BANQUET.

The citizens of Chickasha and Grady
county are to get together tomorrow
evening at the annual banquet of the
Commercial and Farm bureau 1t has
been long time-about year, If we
remember correctly-since a similar
gathering was held and it is to be
hoped that the occasion will bring out
full attendance.
The main object of this bureau is to
carry on an educational campaign for
better farming in the county and un-
der the direction OF Mr.. Cooper, the
hustling agent, gratifying progress is
being made. 1t is work in which every
citizen OF the county should be deeply
interested and should support to the
extent of his ability. Essentially. it is
ground-floor work, being based upon
the assumption that in a community
that 1t is primarily agricultural pros
perity that must begin with the soil.
II we would establish prosperity up
on a stable foundation, we must make
our farms yield larger returns and les
sen the danger of crop failures and
that is what the county agent is try
ing to do. This work is not expert
mental. but 1t aims to put into prac-
tice the principles which have been
formulated by the y. S. department Of
agriculture after many years of inves-
tigation at great cost. That 1t will
produce results has been proved both
by the adult demonstrators and by the
members OF the boys clubs.
The farm bureau work is being sup
ported by the federal government, the
county and by private contributions. II
is cooperative work, the government
making its appropriations for the pur-
pose on condition that the citizens OF
the various communities where 1t is
carried on contribute the additional
funds that are necessary. II the work
is to be continued. the citizens OF
Chickasha and the surrounding coun-0
try must rally to its support.
1t is highly important that the peo'I
Pile who are interested in this move
ment and who are paying to carry itI
on keep themselves informed as to-
what is being done. At the banquet
tomorrow evening report will be
made showing what has been accom-
plished and what is being planned for
the future. It will be fine occasion
for gingering up and getting fresh
dose OF community enthusiasm. We

belhgerent powers, thereby giving color to
the charges made by Senator Lodge that it is
the intention of the Administration to pur-
chase the German ships interned-in our
ports.
At the time Senator Lodge made the charge,
he said that Secretary McAdoo had virtually
admitted that such was the Administrations
intentions, and Mr.. McAdoo, who is to be one
of the Board in control Of the line of steam
ships, has not denied it, Secretary Redfelds

This IS sure to bring about condition that
we would be better rid oft is sure to bring
vigorous protest from the Allies, and at the
very least provoke Diplomatic quarrel that
may injure us for years to come
To the Allies the German shi ps now tied
up III our ports have been disposed of Just as
If they had been sent to the bottom of the
sea-they are where they can do the Allies no
HARM because they dare not venture outside
Of our waters and can therefore give no help
to the enemy.
To say that England will not vigorously
protest against our purchasing this dead load
off of Germany's hands is silly. and the Rep

not willingly submit to our handing over to
Germans $40,000,0O0 to be used by Germany
In fighting them.
We repeat that the interned German boats
have been put off of the high seas by the Eng
lish navy just as effectively, .or all use to
Germany or injury to the Allies, as if they
had been sunk by the English war vessels, and
the British government would be foolish to
allow this fleet of vessels to be put back on the
sea to haul supplies to the enemy
England has maintained the greatest navy
IN the world for over a century, at an enor-
nous cost just for the purpose of doing, in
case of war, what she has done to the German
merchantmen on the high seas. and is it
reasonable to believe that the English people
will stand by and see their government let
done the very thing that they have been taxed
to prc0emt being done?
If England would submit to our taking
over these informed German ships, there would
be no need to keep the English men of war
scattered over the seas to capture or run into
neutral ports the merchant ships of the enemy
she had Just as well let them continue to
sail under the German flag so long as they
did not carry cargOes of guns or ammunition
1t is preposterous to say that we will not

And if you don't mind, we will have an
other issue of Bonds before this Admlnlstra-
ton goes out.
Already there are vague rumors that IN
case of a deficit the President could issue
bonds, which means that certain interests are
watching the condition of the Treasury, and
will try to persuade the President TO issue
Bonds.
Mr.. McAdoo seems very kindly inclined to-
ward Wall Street, and the Wall Street inter

his Secretary of the Treasury if they are

Cleveland gave them.

A great many cities are already doing what
Mr. Roosevelt suggests as to Municipalities
with good results, and the National Govern

Just because it would be an innovation is
no reason why it should not be tried.
The problem of the unemployed is serious,
and relief must come from somewhere, or
there will be bread riots in some of our cities

Mr. Roosevelt made speech in New York

ployed that could be followed to good adj

lie work needed.
Organized charity must cut all red tape.
Employers should employ many. workers as
possible on half time rather than half that num-

The municipal lodging house should be further

According to a news dispatch from Phila-
delphia, the grocers and commission men Of
this country are beg inning to ask why the
British buyers are able to buy sugar at the
same refinery cheaper than the home merch-
ants can buy it.
For example, our merchants were paying
the refiners S4.85 cash per 100 pounds for
from the same refners the same sugar at
1913 per 100 pounds.
1t is true that the refner is allowed a draw
back on sugar shipped abroad equal to the
amount of the tariff that he paid on the raw
product, which is approximately $1O1 per 100
pounds, but taking this difference from the
price to the home consumer still makes sugar
cheaper for the foreigner than for the home
consumer
The Sugar Trust is simply playing the same
game that the Beef Trust has been playing
for years-selling cheaper abroad where it
has to meet competition than it sells at home
where it has everything it's own way.
The Beef Trust has been paying freight
on meat from Chicago to the seaport, and
from the seaport across the water to England,
than it sells it in Chicago

Word has gone from the White House to
Congress that the Republican Senators had
just as well put an end to their flibuster to
kill the Presidents Shipping Dill. at this ses-
sion, for If it fails to pass before March 4,
the President will call an extra session of
Congress within 80 days to take up the bill
again.
This threat was made to get the bill through
before March 4, and avoid an extra session if
possible, but the threat is no idle bluff on the
part of the President.
He is determined to have his Shipping bill
become law, and he is going to use the big
stick or any other means at his command to
force Congress to do his will, just as he has
done in the past whenever he and Congress
did not agree on the legislation in question.
Heretofore the President has been the
schoolmaster disciplining a crowd of school
boys whenever he and Congress disagreed,
and it is another case of where the boys must
mind the professor. or stay In after school
