FIRST OKLAHOMA COTTON

OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 30.
\ First bales of 1917 cotton
, brought 22h cents a pound at
Ardmore and 25 cents pound
! at Pauls Valley. and were ac-
! companied by bonuses contribut-
I ed by local merchants. II is be-
lieved that the regular price Will
\ be somewhere around these fig
ures, tho 1t may fall short OF
I either. There has been strong
belief among cotton men that
, the fiber would demand a stiff
price this year. Farmers at their
I recent meeting In this city de-
manded that 80 cents be made
the price for cotton by the fed
eral price-making committee,
but this was declared by other
interests to be too high.

The great majority Of citifed people look upon farm
life with horror They may be living in some dirty un-
sanitary crowded tenement. Country life might be
cheaper healthier more comfortable. But existence
der the stars and the wide spaces of the sky would seem
horribly lonesome to them.
These people miss the companionship of the crowded
city streets They like the stir and motion and life of it.
They enjoy the gosspng with neghbors There is always
something doing Encounters with the police, street
fights the rattle of the hurdy gur the cries of the street
vendors the mischief of the kdetsa these and thou
sand other incidents make sum life pleasant to people
who have always lived in it.
It would seem as if under the present conditions the
money motive must have effect Farm labor brings
better wages than it used to- The farm hands get high
priced vegetables for nothing it does not cost them much
for clothes Unless they spendthrfts they and their
families could have money in the bank at the end of the

OPEN YOUR PURSE.

The Red Cross treasury will be the
beneficiary OF the style-vaudeville
show for which the Daughters of Isa-
bella are sponsors. They have hit upon
plan for giving double returns for the
money that passes through their hands
on it's way to the Red Cross: an enter
tainment of merit and feeling of sat
isfaction on the part of those who con-
tribute to the fund.
These women and other women all
over Ottumwa have been working
effectively though quietly through
out the summer for the ben
eft of the Red Cross. Indeed, the
patriotism Ottumwa women have
shown during the few months since
America entered the war may well
serve as an example and inspiration to
the men Of the community.
Now 1t is the mems turn. And al
though many of them have been work.
ing Loyalty in the ranks of the Red
Cross and in other avenues OF patriotic
effort, all may be depended upon to
lend encouragement to the ticket sell
ing campaign in which the women in
charge of the style show are to can
vass the entire city today and tomor-
row.
The campaign is big undertaking
in itself. and little time can or should
be devoted to selling talk" Have
your money ready.

and as long as history and legend con-
tinue to fan the flame Of prejudice.
1t Is useless to attempt a discussion
Of the right the policemen possessed
to beat their black skinned prisoners
after making arrests. 1t is useless,
too, to .deplore the race prejudice
sent scores Of negroes into Houston's
streets on an errand of insane murder.
1t is useless just as it is impossible for
the man who always has lived in the
north to understand the temper of the
southern white mob, and equally i'm
possible for the man who has always
lived in the south to subscribe to the
protests which inevitably follow an ex-
hibition OF lawless race hatred among
the southern whites.
But 1t should not be useless to urge
that the secretary of war make it i'm
possible for these scenes which
brought discredit to Houston and to a
regiment of soldiers be repeated while
that secretary retains his portfolio 1t
is difficult to understand how he could
have permitted negro soldiers to train
in the south, knowing as he must have
known the story of Brownsville and
the lesser episodes which have re-
suited when race hatred has been
loosed.
The first clash between civil
and military authority has it's in
evitable sequel in the controversy be-
tween the state and military courts
over the right to punish the surviving
rioters. But with this the public has
no concern. No penalty, however
severe, can atone for the loss of seven
teen lives, and no amount of reverence
for war department red tape can ex-
cuse Secretary Bakers failure to issue
an order in the near future which will
result in keeping negro troops in the
north.

THE RUSSIAN RIDDLE.

Russia remains riddle before the
rest of the world, despite all the eff.
forts that have been made to put its
government on firm foundation, all
the assistance the United States has
given and promised and all the
strength that has been exhibited by
Premier kerensky and the few strong
men among the many who surround
him in the provisional government.
America has loaned Russia $275.000.-
900 since entering the world war. We
have sent a war mission, Red Cross
mission, a railway mission and numer-
Gus experts in special lines of activity,
to assist the Russians in the work of
rehabilitating their national fabric.
But Russia must work out her own
salvation in the end. No amount Of
sympathy and assistance can reach the
vital weakness which prevents the
Russian public from uniting in COM
mon cause and under leader selected
by practically unanimous consent.
That weakness is distrust and sus-
picion among the various elements
that go to make up Russian society.
Russia, as a democracy, remains ma
ton of castles, with only the top crust

JAckY'S THANKS.

A dispatch from an unnamed Brit
ish port brings assurance from Ameri-
can tackles that the work which wom-
en- all over America are doing for them
is appreciated. Passengers on a liner
bound for England asked some of the
gun crew of the vessel If they wished
to send any word to folks back home,
the dispatch says. The spokesman
among the bluejackets replied:
We'll, try to tell the women who
send us those sweaters how grateful
we are. The government furnishes us
with almost everything we need, but
nothing fills the place of home-knitted
sweaters"
Which means that Americas women
ere doing their bit when they sit at
home, knitting for the sailors and the
soldiers. We may chaff them if we
like, laugh at their tedious tasks and
chant rhymes about them, but their
quiet smiles and superior air are justi-
fed, for they know their efforts are
appreciated and they are satisfied.

SHOULD TRIESTE FALL.
The importance Of Trieste to Aus.

The importance Of Trieste to Austria,
and therefore to Germany, is so great
that the Italian drive in progress now
for possession of that city holds major
significance along with the operations
on the Verdun front and other portions
of the battle line in France and Bel
GUM.
Trieste is the southern gateway to
the central empires. Should it fall in
to Italian hands the Austrian navy in
the Adriatic would be cut off from its
base. the submarines which have been
menacing Italian and other allied ship
ing would be compelled to desist and
Austria would be cut off from access
to the sea.
In view of Germany's activity in the
interest of it's ally at other points, fail
ure to send reinforcements to the
Italian front at time when the Austri.
ans are being pushed back and their
enemies are leveling mountain fort
resses which long have ranked as more
nearly impregnable than any other
chain of defense in Europe, can mean
only one thing-that Germany's man
power no longer can be called mex,
haustible. The crown prince has lost
hundreds Of thousands Of men around
verdun and the armies of Hindenburs
have been replenished time after time
Thus the progress Of the Trieste
campaign will supply an authoritative
index to the strength of the Teutonic
forces.

to plead the case of the people in elo-
uuent and more or less convincing
fashion. it seems that he devoted his
oratory in Chicago to an attempt to
convince Justice Carter that it is per
fectly right and proper and moral for
large coal users to buy at prices which

Naturally, the question insists on

Armour, Mr.. Mayer and Mr.. Thorne
fighting the battle of the poor house
holder, or were they hiding behind
that much abused individuals shabby
garments in an effort to obtain even
lower prices for their own coal than
they had been paying for five years?
Seldom has the nation come face to
face with more immoral and indie
feasible SYSTEM than that under which
coal operators have been charging ex-
cessive prices to small coal consum-
ers for the benefit of wholesale buy
ers. It is as wrong as the old rail-
road rebate evil. and its vicious effect
is much more direct. The extent to
which it has been carried Is evidenced
by the shameless manner in which the
benefciaries of the method in Illinois
paraded the figures which proved that
they had profited at the expense OF
the man who was paying five or ten
times as much for his coal as they paid
for theirs.
Certainly the condition calls for de-
tailed governmental investigation and
correction.

The city of Houston is starting an
investigation to get at the truth about
the race riot which famed through a
wild night after the inevitable clash
had occurred between white policemen
and negro soldiers imported to the
southland in accordance with a short
sighted policy in the war department.
Houston's investigation may serve
to satisfy the local vanity Of the city,
but its results will be Of no importance
other than locally because they can
have NO bearing on that conflict be-
tween the races which will exist as
long as there are a north and south

Won LIEeERT's WARNING.

Certainly German censorship slipped
a cog when the world was permitted
to learn what General Won Liebert
said recently at Rathenow. His few
sentences carry warning to all the
world, warning so plain and so full
of threat that it should pierce even
the stubborn armor within which the
paciflst's reasoning powers are in
termed.
ave cannot have a peace before We

empire and maritime bases" said Cen
eral Won Liebert. Should we not re-
alize this now we must prepare to
work for 1t after the war. in view Of
the next war;
There spoke spirit of Prussian
militarism, the demon of autOcratic
greed against which the world is up in
arms. The allied nations are striving
for peace which will bring an end to
all wars and which will be based on
Justice to all the peoples of the earth.
The kaiser and his Prussian junker

hands, the next war would be hurried.
for Germany's advantage over other
nations would be so much increased.
That is what he told his fellow junk
ers, and no doubt he was applauded to
the echo. But certainly he did not en-
pect his declaration to go beyond that
circle of sympathetic listeners. 1t is
an indictment Of the kaiser and his
government. 1t spells the reason why
