tion of the children and said that ''the education of the children of poor parents above their condition in life should be stopped, because it does not improve their social con- dition. The children who go 70 school and learn little algebra, a little Latin. some history and some music are spoiled for their position in life. The same is true of child ren born of bricklayer?"
 Now Dr. White knows whereof he speaks. He doesn't promise to every child that the future is their, that every boy may be president and every girl presidents wife. He knows better. He knows that for the vast majority, for ninety nine per cent of the workers child ren, workers they will remain. But the workers children think different ly. They arg taught that such truths about positions in life are un-Amer- ican. The employers sedulously promise the most golden opportunity to all. And the explosive fact that the children of toilers will also be toilers is hidden away lest it lead to economic discomfort which in turn might lead to social change. The pap that the children are fed consists of untruths about equal ity of opportunity, certain success, economic independence as the re-
 ward of efforts for all, and a lot of other false fiub-dub that keeps the
 workers contended in their subordi-
 nate positions.

An exchange commenting on the fact that some of the laws exiting in eastern states originate with the charters granted by English kings to tho crig.oal settlers end asks ere we ruled by the dead?
 Surely. Man is unQuestionably as Spencer finely said 'the child of the past as he .C parent of the cuture", and the past often enough is g stern parent that has left as a legacy many and many rod lest the child be spoiled.
 Humanity progresses only In slow, graduated movements and each of these are connected with the other end each forward step is in fiuenced by the other. Our present day experiences may be a guide to conduct for ourselves, but no less are our fathers experiences our guide as we'll
 The present legislates for the fu- ture, just as the past has logislateu for the present, and ancestor wor. ship is real among us all.
 Few give it religious standing as do the Chinese, but what's in a name? We call it custom, conven- tiou, precedent and we abide by 1t just the same. It is good because it was done by our fathers, and was right because our ancestors estab- lished such a condition of life.
 It is the tragedy of progress that we move ahead only by breaking away from the hereditary bonds that bind us to the past, and then succeed in so doing only after We have subjected them to the utmost tension slowly and with great effort.
 The evolution of society from the era of the cave man to the present day has seen continuous progress. But it has been the progress of one age hampored alwayc by tho links that bound it to the past. It is al- most impossible to grasp the facl that our ancestors believed as we see some of the more backward sav- age tribes believing today, and vene- rated it as a noble religion, swaying the minds and the ways of men. It is certainly a wide breach that separates the blood thirsty concep- tion of a vengeful God, prompting murder. lust, arson, incest from the conception of One all loving, all morciful and full of Divine Pity. But we can trccc thcco concepts through their gradual development until we pass almost insensibly from the one to the other. Il

This year being election year the politicians are seorching around for an issue. But there never was any issue in Alaska except Home Rule and now that that has been obtained the people do not know whether II is a curse or a blessing.
 Comment is general upon the manner in which Wickersham has time after time defeated h!s oppo- nents. But that is because his op- ponents could show no reason for his defeat that would appeal to the man in the street as likely to follow as a benefit from the immediate de. feat of Wickersham.
 The slogan Alaska for Alaskans is a dead one. And the democrats rode 1t to death themselves.
 The struggle for the spells is after all one that will appeal only tc those that expect to profit by the spells, and these have never been g sufficiently powerful lot to secure . majority.
 Without any issue to stir the peo pie, the reelection of Wickershan has been assured. After all the ma jority always preferred the devi they knew to the devil they never yet had the pleasure of an acquaint ance with. It is very simple.

Most of the comment published after the exiled Astor was elevated to the peerage was centered upon the fact that he an American should so far forget the glories of his na- tive land and become subject of an English king. That seemed a dis graceful thing, although it is ex- pected of all foreign nationalities arriving here that they should ab- jure allegiance to their na- tive land and become citizens of the land of their adoption.
 Astor in becoming an exile chose his lot; and in becoming a British subject acted as British subjects coming America are sup posed to act But there are mighty few of these critics refer to the real anamalysip this case.
 [ss eads for his wealth upon his New York rents He is g mighty land holder and owns a considerable quantity of the city of New York real estate. Upon that he depends for his living. When he became a British subject he still continued to enjoy his revenue from the United States. He could shed his rights as an American citizen; but as a property holder 1t didn't matter a continental what national shrine he worshipped at, for Pro- perty Is sacred above all else.
 Now that is the very remarkable thing about this Astor affair. He IS able as British subject to compel free born American citizens to req der real tribute to him. They may have their constitutions and declaru- tions of independence, their Fourth of July celebrations, but they are still the land serfs of this British subject. And what's more the ma chinery of the State and national government is at tho disposal of the British subject when he attempts to dispossess of their homes the free born American Astor scrfs who fail to come through with their rents. Moreover should it enter into this nobleman's mind to increase the rents that he has been demanding from Americans, they will have to come through or get out.
 Astor has lost nothing he cared about in becoming a British sub- ject, He gets servile adulation at court, prominence in society for his wife, a commission in the army for his son, fine houses and ample me- nial service for his comfort, and Q title as well. His rents are guaran- teed him; his pound of flesh Is guaranteed from the American te- nants. They serve him; work for him to maintain the grandeur of his household, the dignity of his posi- tion, the luxury of his life. All these things are what his soul needs. He with wealth wants no Declaration of Independence for his economic power g1ves him that without a struggle. The anomaly is that the sweatshop slaves, the tene- ment resident, the free American mas to do his bit towards upholding this man who comes not at all to these shores and abjures his Americanism. Tho Jokes not on Astor by a long shot.

The great wealth of tho few in inn perial Rome compelled the mainte- nance of a great standing army That's a matter of history. Even in those days, the senate end 'peo- pie" of Rome resting upon basis of slavery, quite as much as the Emperors themselves. saw the neces- sity for a great army. Only the very blindcst will ignore the cruel tyranny that army became, and the story of the Decline of Rome Is simply the record of an empires undoing that founded itself upon ml- Htary preparedness.
 Rome Is the greatest example we have of any such thing as great mi litarist nation, whose rulers made military preparedness the key note of their administration.
 Not forgetting this therefore, 1t Is right to call attention to what Rear Admiral Chadwick scid In an ad- dress DCfOre JIG ClcTke UnlVeTSltJ Conference in paper entitled "The Problems ard Lessons of tho War.
 Imperialism has had it's worst and most injurious development in recent years, it's essence being land grabbing and the establishment ot these spheres of influence.

 The munitionist prosperity today will carry victory for the intuition ists. And for this very simple req son.
 Society may be devoted into two classes: those who live by labor ana those who live off the product of labor. Four-fifths of the latter do not care a continental about any thing but the gains they make, and three ffths of the former care only for the job that affords a moderate remuneration. Today we can safely say that the matter of job with the vast majority of workers tran scends every other principle. And with the vast majority of employers all that is thought about is the mat ter of making money.
 The full dinner pail is still the most effective slogan, and it has lost none of it's rGllying power by reason of the chastening effect which ex- ceedingly lean years have had upon the man who now has a job | If the job is to be secured by mu- nitionism, we can be sure that all
 the high browed uplifting eleysteo
 talk of pacificist, socialist or others will not amount to a row of beans.

ruled by the past. The Stand Pat is always the authoritarian; the pro gressive always the libertarian. It was always so and it is inevitable. The most progressive idea Is born within the shell of reaction, and in- herits the vices as well as the virtue of its fOrbears.
 We stand long time on our dead selves when making an effort to reach higher things, and the wraiths of the past often enough scare us from an effort towards advance ment.

mentally sound by the performance of
$1,000 cars. The fact that the Cadillac
car has proven itself beyond the need
of radical changes does not mean that
the Cadillac car has not been i'm
proved or refined for the coming year.
1t is ii more beautiful car to look upo:
The color Is a rich Cadillac blue and the

Americans Warned that they Should

Of This Country Which May Sub

Kansas City, Mo, sept 2S.-The
general sessions Of the American
Bankers Association opened today
with a large attendance. The ses-
sions today were the first of the body
as a whole, the early part of the week
having been devoted to sectional con-
ferences and committee meetings.
Warnings to Americans that they
should not take too easily the great
wealth Of this country, which seems
dangerously likely to submerge us in
our own prosperity, was given by
Frank A. Vanderlip Of New York in
an address before the. convention.
81 believe the greatest need of the
day is universal military, industrial
and economic preparedness" he said.

LOCAL MASONS NOT OVERLOOK

MAKE VISIT OF SHRiNERS A
MEMORABLE ONE.

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the festivities here incl
dent to the visit, October 26, of
Shriners from India Temple, Okla,
homa City, who will initiate over $50
members into the mysteries of the
Mystic Shrine. The ceremonies will
take place at the fair grounds at
night under large tent that will be
erected for the comforting of the de-
grees.
Plans are being made for a big
street parade through the down town
district at > o'clock in the afternoon
headed by India Temple Arab Patrol
and band and will include all visiting
Shriners and novices.
At six o'clock an old fashioned bar
becue at the fair grounds will be
provided for the visitors. Ardmore
Shriners are preparing to make ii
the biggest Shrine event in the city's
history. It has been suggested that
perhaps some auto and harness races
would be staged at the fair grounds
after the parade for the entertain
ment of the visitors but no definite
plan covering this feature has been
given out.

To Issue War Declaration.

Athens, Sept. 2S.-The Associated
Press is in a position to state posi-
)yvely that King Constantine has
decided in favor of an immediate
declaration of war on Bulgaria.
Reports that mobilization has been
ordered were premature. After a
session of the council of ministers,
The premier called cabinet meet
ing and announced that a note
might be addressed 10 Bulgaria OF
such a character that mobilization
would logically follow. 1t later de
yeloped that the king decided on a
Relaxation of war on Bulgaria, but
the decision was not announced to
the public because the details remain
to be worked out. They include an
ultimatum demanding the evacuation
of all Greek Macedonia.

WILL
Be IN REUNION
COMING WEEK
puRANT ON OCTOBER 3, 4 AND
WILL BE THE HOST TO CON-
FEoERATE SOLDIERS OF THE
ENTIRE STATE.

The Confederate Veterans OF Ok.
lahoma have learned the lesson Of
not attempting to hold their annual
reunion during the heated season Of
the year. Other organizations are
learning the same lesson. The Elks
in Baltimore this summer did not
enjoy their reunion on account of the
heat and If the Confederates had met
during July or August many Of the
pleasures of the reunion would have
been interfered with.
General HALEY taking the weather
into consideration placed the time
for the annual reunion on October
3. and 5. A large number OF the
veterans from here will be in at
tendance. The meeting will be held
in Durant
