WASHINGTON AND WILSON

When the revolutionary war was
ended, when the men of the armies
had completed the most gigantic task
ever attempted by any colonial govern
ment in the world, when they had
succeeded in driving the foreign en-
emy from the land, they faced still
another enemy that threatened for
time to destroy them. That enemy
was poverty, nakedness, hunger all
mingled with the feeling that the gov
ernment had not done its best to re-
lieye their suffering. The men mutt
MED. They felt they could not re-
turn 10 their homes and wait for a
crop to grow. They were starving at
home and poorly fed in the army.
In that first trying hour in the birth
of the greatest republic on earth, it
was Washington who stilled the dis
content. He did not have food and
clothing for the men and their fam
lilies. The colonial government was
in the same condition that the sol.
diers were in and Washington had to
depend upon the power Of his own
intellect, upon the wisdom of his own
words and upon the reasoning facul-
Hes Of starving men. But Washington
ouieted tho mutiny, he stlled the
breath Of calumny and quietod the
words Of treason. K was he who com
manded that superhuman strength
and wisdom tc guide the colonies on
TO tho founding Of the republic.
There is an analogous case pending
IT this time. Labor fOur hundred
thousand strong, has made certain
demands: the companies of which the
demand is made decline to grant
them. A labor trouble that will par
alvzc the republic is threatened, a
labor trouble that would keep food
from the armies on the Mexican bor-
der, a trouble that would prevent the
transportation Of men to the border
IN case war must be declared, a trou-
Bile that would result in ceasing trans
portati1n Of ice for the fevered, fruit
or medicines to the sick and food to
the hungry
In this case Woodrow Wilson is
proving to be the George Washington
Of the present century. He is prov

In one term, President Wilson has
cleaned up all the political issues of
quarter of a century and has made
this campaign a choice between a
party of honest achievement and a
party of carping criticism; between
a leader and a follower. There never
was a great man who was not criti-
cised. But is it the man of achieve
ment, or the critic that survives?

(By State Board of HEALTH.
The last half of August and some
times the first few days of Septem-
Der is the period when the water sup
/ ply problem often is serious one in
many Oklahoma communities Some
places are fortunate enough TO be
provided with a deep well supply
from which pure water can be drawn
at all times of the year, regardless of
weather conditions, Most OF the
large cities, however, and many
smaller communities must depend for
a large proportion, if not all, of their
water on rivers and other streams.
When the long, hot, dry spell sets in.
this supply not only runs very low,
but Is in danger of contamination.
There probably is no other single
factor upon which the health of
community more depends that the
purity of the water supply. No rea-
sonable precaution which will insure
this purity should be neglected. 1t
is a question which concerns every
citizen, both as an individual and a
member of the community.
There is room for a more active
public opinion in many of our towns
and cities. and public opinion which
will insist that the local authorities
do all in their power to provide an
abundance of pure water or course
this depends fundamentally upon the
source of supply ard the question of
expense, but money can scarcely be
expanded TO more practical purpose
by community. In addition public
opinion should insist that officials use
forethought and prepare for emer-
gencios, such as dry weather or
floods, emergencies which experience
has shown are certain TO occur. In
addition much can be done towards
the publication of the water supply
! by chlorination and other we'll known
methods. But If the citizens of a
community are careless and indiffer-
ont on this vital question they must
expect their officials to take the same
attitude

which may be taken by the communi-
ty as a whole, there are precautions
which the individual can take. They

is pure there IS always danger of

ROCKISLAnDROAD
Through Reduction in Damage
to Freight.

A saving Of practically a half mil
lion dollars in loss and damage claim
payment was made by the Rock Island
this last fiscal year ending June so
over the previous one.
This is the direct result Of improv-
ed roadway, equipment and a change
in organization which was made eff
fective Dec. /, 1915, when increased
supervision was authorized with
view of still further decreasing the
loss and damage claim payments and
at the same time afford more salts
factory service to patrons of the road.
In order that still further improve
ments may be made a meeting has
been called by n. ID. Ballantine, chair
man of the system loss and damage
committee and assistant to the chief
operating officer of the Rock Island,
for a full discussion of the entire
subject.
Between 200 and $50 members of
the committee, including officers and
employees, will attend the meeting TO

Ed M. Kapp, who recently assocla-

the Tri-City Blue Print company, us
Eighteenth street, has some striking
pictures taken of German soldiers
shortly after the call to mobilize was
issued at the outbreak of the present
European war Mr.. Kapp at that time
was travelling salesman for the A. W.
F'aber Pencil company of Germany
and was in Germany at the time. 1t
was only due to the fact that the films
were undeveloped that he saved them
He left Germany just as the troops
were moving to the borders. He also
has a picture Of Switzerland troops
mobilizing at Lucerne. He plans to
have the photos enlarged and to dis
play them in the window of the Tri-

FRENCH LOSING
LOVE FOR DUELS
One Time Popular ~Defense of Honor
Becomes Subject of Ridicule
as Result of War.

| Correspondence of the AS
/ sociated Press. 1.-The duel Is one OF
the ancient institutions of France
| that has fallen into neglect during the
war. The last sensational encounter
! on the field of honOr"-a bloodlesS
I one-took place after the election OF
! the chamber Of deputies in 1914, not
| long before hostilities broke out. 1t
was between Joseph Caillaux, former
minister of finance, and his unsuccess-
/ full opponent, Louis d'Aillieres. Call
/ laux fired into the air and d'Aillieres
fired into the ground.
Since that meeting M. d'Aillieres
has been grievously wounded on an
other field of honor" Acting as in
termediary officer between the firing
line and the command in the rear, he
was hit by a shell that claimed him,
probably for life.
It is attributed to the fact that so
many Frenchmen, like Nj. d'Aillieres,
have shed their blood on the battle
field that the duel has been abandoned
and there is a well-defned sentiment
that it has come to an end for good
and all.
Some credit the sacred union of
parties and classes with this reform.
is due to popular depreciation of per
sOnal conflicts between FTenchmen
while the Germans are still at Noy-
on" The sacred union" has not pre-
vented disputes and pTovocatiOns.
Two men contesting for a favorable
place from which to witness a review
of troops on the Esplanade des Inval-
ides came to blows and one of them
tossed his card to the other.
eff you are so eager to fight" cried
a bystander, why don't you do as
those boys did?' pointing TO some
armIess and legless soldiers lined up
before the troops to be decorated.
Two young men in a popular cafe
exchanged sarcasms, followed by in
suits, blows and an exchange of cards
ITO Verdun with them!" cried the
spectators Put them QUIT"
The manager threw both of them
into the street, where the idIers jeered
them until in common defense they
made up their quarrel and walked off
together.
If they are not both combatants,
they will. one or both of them, have
been heroes of the rear" to whom
public opinion viii say, No, No fight
ing! If you are so thirsty for blood
and so particular about honor, you
would have gotten your satisfaction
out of the Germans"

WASHINGTON, May 26-To meet Japan's objection to having the so-callac "gentlemen's agreement for the restriction of Immigration enacted into law in the peni;ng immigration bill, the senate i'm migration committee has agreed upon an amendment which removes the Japanese entirely from the bill, but 8ccompIi,hes Aaiatc exclusion otherwise by a specified ten of latitude and longitude which will take in China Siberia, India and the islands of the Malay archipelago, with the exception of the Philippines It leaves immigration from Japan to be governed entirely by the Root TaRahira agreement. The change + understood to be satisfactory to the state department.
 Representations were made that the en- actment of an agreement which Japan had entered upon honor to fulfill was repugnant to the Japanese government, as was the classification with Ii:ndus and others to be excluded.
 The senate committee adopted this pro vision:
 "U.Iess otherwise provided for by exist ing treaties persons who are natives of islands net possessed by the United States adjacent to the continent of Asia situated south of the twentieth parallel of latitude, northwest of the sixteenth meridian of longitude east from Greenwich, and north of the tenth parallel of latitude south, or who gre natives of any country province or dependency situate on the continent of Asia west of the 10th meridian of longitude east from Greenwich, and east of the ffti- eth meridian of longitude east from Green wich, except that portion of said territory situate by the fiftieth and the sixty-fourth meridians of longitude east from Greenwich, and the twentyfourth and thirty-eighth parallels of latitude north"

DEATH COMES TO RELIEF
 OF MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY

NEW YORK, May 1S-The travels of Nathan Cohen ''the man without coun try" who for two years was carried back and forth between New York and South American ports on steamships because he was refused shelter in either the United States or Brazil have ended and his body lies buried in a Hebrew cemetery in Staten Island
 He died in a sanitarium at Greene Farms Conn, recently, and his body was brought here fer bur@l.
 Cohcns journey of more than 33,0OO miles up and down the Atlantic ocean caused his fate to be likened to that of the Wandering Jew.
 He was born in the province of Cour land, Russia. For number of years he was in business in Brazil, and, accumulat ing several thousand dollars, he came to the United States, landing at Baltimore three years ago. Subsequently he went to Jack and his wife left him.
 He was sent to Rio Janeiro on steam ship of the line which brought him herc but Brazilian officials refused to let him land Returning to New York, he was again barred. After traveng back and forth for two years he was allowed to land here after intercession on his behalf by the Knights of Pythias and the Shelterlng and Liberation Aid Society of America, which promised to send him to Russia after the war
