Although Democratic newspaper

the Dallas News Is not sparing in its
denunciation of the way the Demo-
cratic congress has been toying with
big issues and playing politics while
the nation stands on the brink Of por-
tontous emergencies. The president
at one time thought that The pre-

seen tit to change his mind and has
been urging thai the army and navy

whenever they should be called on.
The best that congress was able to do
until Saturday has been TO haggle
over details in pretended effort TO
strengthen the national defense,
though taking pains to kill or cripple
every measure that seriously looked
toward adequate preparedness. rho

THE HARDENING PROCESS.

II has been said that man can
get used to anything except being
hung There are some however, who
would like To mention few other
things that viii not get innocuous by
repetition. Yet after all, human ma
ture is 50 constructed that what upon
its first occurrence fills us with anger
or dread will, when repeated continu.
ously, lose its power to affect us
greatly. There ~ "A process OF hard
ening that takes place unconsciously
and we gradually shift our mental
viewpoint so as To regard as ordl-
nary and matter OF course what we
once regarded as startling The
American people furnish u striking
example of this process in their atti-

years, rhc first battles of the Euro

HISTORY OF BE S S AR A B A.
Name Is Derived From an Early Day
Russian Politician,


How much geography have you
learned since the first OF August,
1914? Having satisfied yourself as to
the location Of the river Bug, you are
now confronted with the necessity of
finding out where Bessarabia is, since
the possible entrance OF Rumania
into the conflict is bound to drag
Bessarabia into the daily news. 1t is
not safe to assume that this section of
earth is on the border of Arabia. as
its name might seem to indicate. In
fact, it is much nearer the theater of
the present intense conflict, and this
is not the first time it has had its
innings in the daily press dispatches.
The most terrible massacres of Jews
were those at kishineff, the capital
Of Bessarabia. in the extreme south
western part of Russia. between the
Dniester and the Pruth rivers. The
latter stream forms the western boun-
dairy of Rumania.
The origin of the name borne by
this so-called government" of Rus
sa is as interesting as the history it
carries with it. 1t is derived from
Contantine Brancovan Bessara ba.
who was executed by the sultan of
Turkey in 1714, or from one of his
long lines of forbears, who mixed
freely in the complicated politics of
Russia. Wallacia, Austria and
Turkey. from the thirteenth century
to the time when Constantine's double
dealing resulted in the family's exter-
mination. While pretending to serve
his suzerain, the Turkish ruler, he
was. in fact. the secret agent of Aus
tria. then at war with Turkey. His
country was ceded to Russia in 1878,
having belonged successfully to Tur-
key and Moldavia. 1t was settled by
nomad tribes-Globe-D Democrat.

the treat of a lifetime, but when
such trip is not possible a lecture
illustrated in such a way that the
scenes are made extremely lif-lillet
and real, 1t is the next best thing
and such lecture will be afforded
the people Of Tulsa on Thursday
night. May is. by Charles Norton
Hunt at Convention hail. who comes
to Tulsa under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce, and as one
of the big features of the annual
w. v and ladies allied organiza-
tons
MIR. Hunt is an enthusiast on yell
lowstone national park. He is ia
miliar with every feature of the
park, and his lecture has been de-
scribed as a trip through the parI,
in an evening. He brings with him
the finest hand colored steropticon
views taken from actual photographs
ana moving pictures taken under his
own supervision in the park.
The lecture will be free to all. but
children must be accompanied bv
their parents.
Yellowstone National park has been
termed the most unique spot in the
world. 1t Is the largest and oldesr
OF all our national parks. Located in
three states-Wyoming. Montana and
ldaho-it embraces 3,312 square miles
and more than two million acres. The
forest development is great and the
flora unusual and varied. II has high
mountains, beautiful valleys, a per-
feet network Of trout streams running
here and there through the canyons
and valleys. large number of lakes,
principal among which is Yellowstone
lake. which is twenty miles long and
Ii miles wide at its extreme points.
The general features are well
known. 1t is the land of contrasts
hot springs and cold springs are found
within Il few feet of one another.
Spoutins geysers, sulphur hills, glass
cliffs, wonders upon wonders are
found here and there and attract
thousands of visitors from all parts
of the world.
1t is the national preserve for all
wild animals found in this country.
Buffalo. deer. bears, antelope. elk ana
others roam free without fear of mo-
lestation and, in most cases. is do
mestcated as the house cat. Having
no fear, they are unsuspecting of

600 employees AT
SAND SPRINGS QUIT

Six hundred employees of the
United States Zinc company at
Sand Springs walked out of the
smclter at ? O'clock Monday
afternoon. A ten per cent in
crease in wages had been granted
the men but in spite of this they
refused to stay in the plant.
There are only about one hun
dred laborers still on duty.
The cause of the walkout could
not be ascertained. The men are
not organized and there had been
no previous hint of trouble. 1t
is said the average wage. paid at
the smelter was about 81 a day.
Only yesterday q 10 per cent
raise had been announced.
1t is believed an effort will be
made today to arbitrate matters
and speedy adjustment is antic-
ipated. Little or nothing could
be learned regarding the cause
of the walkout from the laborers
or heads Of the company.
