Oklahoma City, Oct. 29.-(Snecial 80
Tho mos, tremendous campaign that has

Greit mass meetings were planned
early in the week for many sections.

Oklahoma City took the lead among
municipalities in investing hundred
thousand dollars in the securities OF
the federal government. This was done
following an opinion from :. p. Freezing,
attorney general, that cities operating
lundc, a charter giving them a right to
invest in bonds, and Independent school
districts might invest their sinking
funds in the Liberty loan. Many church
os. lodges and other organizations are
also taking similar action.
! As usual, the Hun with his paid agent
is working in Oklahoma, this time at
tempting to discourage subscription u
the government securities. The delay
in delivery of bonds of the first issue
has been used in many communities
where those less well informed have
been told the government is not actini
in good faith In other places, people
have been told that per cent bond
are subject to all taxation. As matter
of fact they are exempt from every
thing except inheritance tax, the secar
ity is the best in the whole world, th'
interest is certain and easy to collect
and the investment is good.

WAR SUMMARY.

In cooperation with the French ON
his left. Field Marshal Haig launched
new blow this morning along a mar
row front at the German lines north
east of Ypres.
Allied tifahuy moved forward in
the neighborhocd of the Ypres.Staqen
railway, and on the outskirts Of
Houtholst wood. the extreme northern
edge of the active front in Flanders.
The French advance was along n width
OF about threefifths of mile. The
British attack was probably along a
somewhat wider front, extending to-
wards Poel Capelle, and possibly taking
in the area OF that town, which has been
the scene of some desperate fighting.
Both groups Of attacking troops scor-
ed early successes. Paris announced
that all their detectives were attained
by the French troops. while Field Mar
shal Haig reported satisfactory progress
for the British.
The operation apparently is aimed at
bringing the left flank of the allied nd
vance further forward as support %

GEOLOGY AND DRILLING.

Does the science OF geology pay, ~
a question that seems 20 have been an
swered In the affirmative by the drilling
results OF the last six years IN compared
with the results OF the same period six
years ago. From 1905 TO 1910. inclusive.
there were io5.5s5 wells completed. OF
which si,s33 were unproductive OF
either oil or gas. There were 4.22e
profitable gas wells completed and So.
40 productive oil wells. The oil pro.
duc,ion for this period was 9es .b62,32s
barrels.
In the six year period from 1911 Ia
1916. both inclusive. the total compile
tions numbered 1921. of this number
?0.77l were dry. ii.70s produced gas.

production for this period was i,59s,'

while the increase In failures was 1855,
and the Increase In production was

WHERE THE BLAME LIES,

The flood OF newspaper and mag.
aIInc comment on the hanging Of
Frank Little continues but the sub
joined opinion from the Roundup
Tribune is. We think. the most intel
ligent and just summary that we have
seen:
Little should have been ,punishod
under the law and by the law. II his
speech was seditious he should have
been arrested. If he threatened vio-
lence he should have been put under
tnnd 10 keep the peace. There are
laws for this purpose and other men
are compelled to obey them. If the
officers Of Butte, of Montana ana Of
the federal government failed in the
performance of their sworn duty, the
blame for this disgrace to city and
state rests upon them. Had they done
their part Little would not have been
hanged.
We have no doubt that the presi-
dents special investigation of this I'M
fortunate affair viii furnish u like
conclusion.

POOR STUFF.

As an example Of shallow rcason-
ing. the sort that breeds discomfort
wherever weak minds may be found
TO give heed we commend the views
of DR.. Frank Bohn. q recent chalItali-
qua lecturer who III an interview with
a Muscular reporter expressed the
conviction that a minimum wage of
five dollars a, day for common labor on
an eight hour schedule is demanded
by present prices.
Please note that DIR. Bohn gives no
statistics, that his conclusion is
reached by no apparent study OF con-
ditions which differ in nearly all COM
munities But especially note what he
says next:
In North Dakota" said Mr. Bohn,
the harvest labor problem has been
solved by a $3.50 wage with good liv-
ing conditions There has been no
trouble there, and as a result North
Dakota is doing it's full duty"
In other words, DR.. Bohn fixes five
dollars as a minimum wage for COM
mon labor in one breath but in the
wage Of $3.50 a day for common abor
in the harvest fields of North Dakota
and declares that "as a result North
Dakota is doing its full duty
If common or unskilled labor is
worth five dollars day at the mini
mum what in DR. Bohn's opinion, we
wonder, should be the minimum for
skilled labor? If this preacher Of in
equality thinks that the wandering
harvest hand or a lumber jack should
be paid more than $1,000 a year. what
does h" think OF a salary of $500 a
year for a. university professor? Since
the doctor makes his living with his
brains is he willing to conccde that
trained minds should be paid more
than |. W. w hands
OF course Dr. Rohn's schedule in eff
feet would be the grosscSt injustice 10
skilled w"rkmen and the public at
large. The people would have to pay
dearly for il.
Th" principl" Of the minimum wage
is sound in so far as no man or WON
IN should b" compelled to work be
low a living wage. Above that labor
should b" paid for what it is worth.
If Dr. Bohn will not admit that he
should join tn" ]. w. W., who say in
their constitution 1--WE are not salts

CONVICTIONS OPPORTUNITY.

The presidents special envoy to in
Eostigat" conditions in Montana. JUS
tice ]. Harry Covington of the Su-
promr Court Of the District of Column
bia, will be gladly received and all
efforts will b" made to acauaint him
with conditions. Assuming that Mr..
cuvington comes with open mind and
serious purpose. W" think there will
b" no differently in convincing him that
prompt. decisive action is needed to
clean this state of Il most dcspicible
band of traitors.
1t is important, however. for Judge
Cuvingtun to gather his facts first
hand, and not to linger too long with
the politicians and office holders who
ar" endeaVoring to keep straight with
tn" public and at the same time to
piacatc and please certain elements
that will shout hard in the next cam
patgn but may not hc SO strong at the
polls.
We 'lieve that the president is go
ing about this work in the right way.
AS long as he depended for informa-
ton upon our political representatives
and offic" holders, little relief was to
b" expected from conditions which
have become intolcrablc to our citi-
Z"ns.
