WAY CLEARED FOR
ALLIANCE BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND Japan

Tokyo-M is believed the way has
been cleared for 3an actual alliance
between Russia and Japan as a re-
suit of the visit here of the Grand
Duke George Miehaelovitch, cousin of
the car. dG is likely that the news
papers have exaggerated the number
of things that are expected to flow
from the event, hut there are indica-
tions that a practical understanding
will be reached at the conclusion of
the war concerning Asiatic Russia
and the Far East
References to the closer union be-
tween Russia and Japan were coB-
tanned in the official addresses ex-
changed when Emperor Yoshihito
gave a state dinner in honor of the
grand duke, who came to Tokyo to-
convey congratulatoTy coronation
greetings from the czar.
The extent OF the PRO Russian en-.
thusiasm pervadfng Japan is eyidenc-
ed by the tone of newspapers. Lead
ing dailies welcome the grand duke
and emphasize the growth OF friend
ship between the two empires They
point out That already practical all
lance exists between the two nations
and earnestly express the hope that
the understanding will merge into a
formal alliance at the closing Of the
present war.
Some journals make the point that

dukes visit is one Of the outward and

Of the good that may be done BY en-

thing is laborious and costly meth
Cd OF securing a small result.
Of course to conduct thoroughly
a campaign of newspaper advertising
costs a good deal of monty. There is
too much of disposition to assess
this cost on candidates. When politi-
cal parties behave decently and show
some patriotism and common sense
they find plenty of enthusiastic sup
porters who will contribute to help
their ideas prevail. In this way the
expense of campaigns of newspapers
education can easily be met. The UNI
fortunate tendency to require can
dldates to provide a ''bar'l" of their
own is one of the evils of our times,
which this newspaper will discuss in
another article.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
A Political Rally Costs Great Deal
Money.

Among the big costs of running a
political campaign nowadays is the
political advertising bill. One some
times hears this spoken OF as an
abuse, a needless tax on candidates
and parties. Yet no method of CON
Quoting campaign was ever one
tenth so efficient.
A political rally costs a good deal
OF money. Yet the audience consists
mostly of supporters of the partv
that holds the rally. Few votes are
changed, because opponents are not
present. 1t is expensive for results
mere is little politics in a news
paper subscription list or newsstand
sales. People of all parties read the
appeals and arguments of candidates
ana committees, when inserted as adj.
A Moderate sized adver-
tisement would lot cost nearly as
much as holding rally, yet il would
reach many more doubtful or oppos-
ing voters.

HERE is THE TRUTH.

Speaking of the disgruntlement Of
that eminent Office holder in Iowa
the Hon. Warren Garst who says thai
he cannot support the republican
ticket in Iowa this fall, for the rea
son that he could not have his way in
the recent primary, in which he play
ed the role of manager, the Anita
Record says:
Twas a shame to shatter so many
idols of the Capital City Political
Slate-Makers' Union, and Perpetual
Office Holders Association at a single
shot, but it just had to be done, and
Warren was one of the bright and
shining marks that fell over the
breastw orks; a choice particle of easy
prey to the hunters after big game.
perhaps there are those who will be
sorry to lose Warren from places OF
prominence that shall know him no
more forever; places he has filled,
and which he got damwell paid for
filling; and it is anything but pleas
ant picture, to look upon an old man,
who has enjoyed more than his full
share of official honors, stumbling off
in political wilderness, ETC., etc.
All of which is true. We have in
this state sort of self perpetuating
Official oligarch, men who have stood
together and held the offices, first
one way and then another way, but
always with sucking hold some
where. They have been interviewer
with Greater Iowa and Greater Des
Moines movements and they have
constantly maintained Des Moines
headquarters and boosted for every
thing the capital city has wanted,
from capitol extension with millions
of taxes to Capitalization of every
thing in that city, including the col
lection of the automobile taxes. What
they want now is to have all the road
making machinery centralized there
with millions OF Money passing thru
their hands and hundreds of clerks to
audit and advise the men who pay
the taxes in the serious business Of
rebuilding their roads.
And when they run short of OFF,

MANY POOL HALLS
OWE LICENSES NOW
Only Few owners Have Comphcu
With 1915 Law requiring
Payment July 1.

Only few of the owners of the
"a billiard and poolrooTns in Tulsa
county have complied with the 1918
law, which provides that such must
renew their licenses on or before the
first day of July. Although the judge
of the county court is the sole censor
who hears complaints and protests
against granting and renewing these
licenses, there has not been single
protest registered or license re-
fused since the act became a law one
year ago.
The cost of renewing license Is
SIS and the licenses must be renewed
each year Before applying for H.
cense the owner of the place must
give five days notice in order to give
anyone who might wish to protest
against the renewal an opportunity to
make his protest to the judge of the
county court.
Judge John r. Ramsey said yes
terday that he had notified all owners
of poolrooms that their licenses must
be renewed at once and that they are
now responding. The only town in
the county where there is no pool
room is at Broken Arrow, where there
never has been one.
The money collected by renewals of
licenses goes into the court fund.

little Sargol with their meals for a while
and not results There is good test worth
trying First weigh yourself and measure

eaten, into rich ripe fat producing nourish-

an easily assimilatcd form which the blood
can readily accept Much of this nourishment
