Killing Fellow Citizens.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The article in The Sunday Tribune

leads me to make these statements: Therb

food or bad clothing There must be three

their services to the country. feel that there

that makes money out Of the sufferings Of
the loyal men who defend the nation. who
protect the families and properties OF the
nation. If every family during any war were
compelled to share only the same food and

would be no war. A curse on all the wretched
tribe that speculate and make money through

Buying Back Our Railroads.

CGirard ~ The Philadelphia LEDGER
1t appears that we are rapidly buying the
Pennsylvania Railroad from England
From an official notice | learn that only
III per cent OF the stock is now owned
abroad. Just recently more than 16 per cent
was in the pockets Of foreigners.
That means that some 100000 shares have
been shipped from Europe and Canada back
to the United States. At one time England
owned so much Of Pennsylvania that it was
an important factor at annual meetings.
Indeed, an English coterie once attempted
TO oppose President George b. Roberts. He
was pronounced too conservative those
Britons hungered for a melon, which Mr.
Roberts was as likely TO cut as he was to
carve his own grandmother.
Buying out our foreign partners in such
big business as the "Pennsy" is the best use
we can make OF those shploads Of gold
which are sailing into our harbors.

This is simply to introduce grotesque
doctrine Of Presidential infallibility into
politics. If no one has right to say that
if Mr.. Wilson had done otherwise IN Mexico
conditions would be better, or even as good
it is equally presumptuous to criticise any
thing he has done in any other field OF ac-
tivity since he became President. We take
our hat off 10 "The Globe" and its ingenious
theory of whatever-is-s right ststesmanship.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to thank you for the article
by W. o. McGeehan in to-day's issue Of your
paper entitled. Army Grub Isn't the STUFF for
Fighter"
This. 70 my mind together with hospital
work. should be the first propaganda OF the
women through the newspapers OF the United
States. And you, who have wsged sucn en-
lightened warfare against unfarness and dis-
honesty in some Of the shops OF New YORK
seem the likeliest avenue for indignant pro-
test against the unimaginable patriots al
home who are willing 10 sell spoiled canned
beef and moufdy biscuit for the use o. inc

Surely the closest vigilance in the commits
sary department is one Of he many lessons
we should have learned from the awful war
in Europe. where the united purpose, from
the beginning. has been TO give the men only
first rate provisions, and where any failure on
the part of the centre of supplies has been
summariy punished
But with all this care. even from efficient
Germany" have come echoes of scandal IN
connection with the purchase Of supplies.
First off. then. cannot the women. by sus-
tanned effort. aid in avoiding the horrors re-

Many Are Studying Spanish.

Oklahoma City, Oct 2.-More than
400 students of the State University
are studying SpanisA This term. The
growth in this class has been most
remarkable since the outbreak of the
great war and 1t is assumed by the
university authorities that the stimu-
lus has come from increased interest
in trade in the Spanish American
countries of North and South Ameri-
ca. The classes in Spanish have in
creased to the extent that five in
structors are now employed for teach
ing that language in the State Uni
yersity.

CONSTRUCTED
MASS MEETING LAST NIGHT WAS
WELL ATTENDED AND coNslD-
ERABLE ENTHUSIASM WAS EVIL
IDENT.

Without a single exception, every
sembly rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce last night endorsed the pro-
posed white way and granting of the
franchise TO the electrict light com
pany.
/. NJ. Putnam presided, and briefly
stated the object of the meeting City
Attorney Dayisson explained the pro
posed franchise and the extent of the
white way, and a number present
spoke enthusiastically for it.
The matter of the general reduction
of rates was also discussed. H. f..
Foster manager o, the light plant,
was present and said that regardless
of the franchise being called or the
installation of the white way, the
rates would be reduced when the pro-
posed improvements at the plant take
place, and as quickly as possible other
radical changes for the better made.
1t will take about five months to
get the white way installed and in
service. There will he something more
than one hundred clusters each clus-
ter containing five high-powered
will be affected and the council will
be given authority to extend the lights
as the contingency arises. The cost
to the city will be $3.50 per cluster
per month. The white way will elimi-
nate a large number of lights now
being paid for by the city, so that
the white way will not increase the
electric light bill to very large ex-
tent each month.
So far as any further reduction of
rates Is concerned, the electric light
company will enter inro an agreement
at any time to have friendly hearing
before the corporation commission,
and If the proposed twelve and half |
per cent reduction is not sufficient, |
will of course abide by the ruling of
the commission. Mr.. Foster said in
this connection, Regardless of the |
result of this meeting or the election |
our rates will be reduced as promised. |
If any of you are not satisfied we will |
have a friendly hearing. and then of
course we will all have to abide by |
the decision" Among those who
spoke were Judge Champion, Kirk
Dyer, Mike German, Jake Bodovitz,
r. T. Dallas and others.
While in session, Tie meeting ap-
pointed a committee composed of
Mike German, Kirk Dyer and Walter
S. Gilbert to see the county commits
sioners to get them. to direct their
efforts on the road to the Fox field
This committee will act today.
The question of a good and perma-
nent road to the oil fields is one of
the most important ones before the
people of Ardmore today. The season
of the year is rapidly approaching

ments in the resistance Of the authorl-
ties to the manipulation of war prices
of food.
Mayor l.. J. Oursel of EvreuX fixed
limit for the butchers retail prices. The
butchers resisted and declared that the
people should have no meat. Mayor
Oursel opened a municipal shop, selling
at the same maximum price that he had
imposed upon the butchers and his
profits were so quick and considerable
that he had no need to draw on the
capital voted by the municipal council
to keep the enterprise going. He is
making SO much money for charities
that the people of Evreux are beginning
to understand why there are so many
butchers-21 for a population of less
than 10000.
THAT is Just the trouble" replied
the butchers. I'VE are so numerous that
if the mayors business were divided
equally among us we would all lose
money; question of too many fixed
charges for the total volume of trade"
The mayors of France generally, COM
paratively unconsidered officials in or
mostly with marriages, have found
their chance in this struggle against
dear living; they are coming out

Mayor Chariot of Pavilion sous Bots,
a small suburb of Paris, considering
dictation contrary to democratic prin-
ciples, rejected the plan of fixing prices
and restored to competition. His NUM-
cipal store has brought the price of
potatoes down from cents to w

Unable to buy potatoes from whole
