Final Decision Between Amer

Victory in the war with Germany is

Food Administrations Promise.

I realize that under certain condi-
ttons a lack of confidence in the sta
bility of market prices may act as a
deterrent. l therefore wish to make
this positive statement: That SO far
as the United States Food Admins
tratioa is able, thrertgh the influence
on the purchase of pork and its prod
ucts for expectation. it will do all
within its power TO see that prices of
pork are maintained in ratio to feed
prices that will cover not only costs
of production. but also proper remu-
neration to the producer.
From two and a half years of con-
tact with the German army 1 have
come out of this horror with the COM
plete conviction that autocracy is a
political faith and a system that di-
rectly endangers and jeopardizes the
future of our race-that threatens our
very independence. 1t has, however,
been able to command a complete in
spiration of devotion and self-sacri-
nee in its people to the interest of
their nation The German farmer, in
the name of the fatherland, supports
a nation two-thirds as large as ours
and threatens to subject the world
from an area as large as Texas.

The air has ieen full of rumors

said, but he will not engage in the
MOTEL business.
Tulsa has always been remarkably
free from hot air and blue sky propo-

that anyone representing legitimate

Tulsa needs another big hotel and

What Would You Do

If your grocer should say to you when
you pay your bill on Saturday night:
IL had little hard luck this week
and lost SIS in bad accounts. Your
share of this loss is 81, and l have
added this to your account"
What would you do? You would
tell that grocer to go TO place hot
enough to sweat such ideas out of his
system. The credit merchant knows
this and so he very tactfully adds Il
penny here and a nickel there to his
selling price and at the end OF the
week you pay that dollar, but don't

WOULD RECLAIM DRUNKARDS
A Wisconsin Town May Allow Booze
Victims TO Take the Cure"

An elaborate plan for the reclama-
ton of drunkards and victims of vari
Gus perverting vices is being formu-
lated in Ripon, Wis. not with the
work house idea predominating, but
with the purpose of an actual cure as
the incentive.
No longer will the tippler have to
topple his way down the street to the
sewer gutter to find a place for the
night, only to awake the next morning
with nothing more nor less to do than
to get drunk all over again.
The organization which has taken
the problem in hand and is now work
ing out q solution Is the Ripon Com
mercial club.
1t is planned that all men brought
up before the court and charged with
drunk and disorderly conduct, instead
of receiving n prison or workhouse
sentence. will be given their choice of
accepting a sentence to some penal
institution or going to some appropri-
ate, established place devoted to treat
ment for the elimination OF the alco-
hol poison from the human system.
After the poison has been removed
and the craving squelched, they will
be discharged from the reclamation
institution and as they become able in
spirit, vigor. courage and ambition to
recompense their benefactors, they
are requested to do so to the extent of
the sum expended for their redemp-
ton.
| The commercial club Is n pioneer
In this field of endeavor and as such
is blazing trail in an untrodden area
of the forest of charity.

WILSON ANXIOUS FOR
RAILROAD LEGISLATION
Visits Capitol TO Confer With New
lands as to Expediting Measures
Recommended.

President Wilson Saturday empha-
sized his desire for railroad legisla-
ton, supplementary to the Adamson
law by making a special trip to the
capitol to confer with Senator New
lands, chairman of the commerce COM
mittee, who will have charge of ex-
pediting through congress the mea-
sures recommended by the president in
his recent message.
Although Senator Newlands would
not discuss the conference, it was
learned from an authoritative source
that recent railroad Developments
pending settlement of the constitution
ality of the Adamson act have not al
tered the presidents view regarding
supplemental legislation, and that he
still particularly desires passage at
this session of the measures he recon-
mended. They are designed to pre-
vent railroad strikes pending inyesti-
CATION of disputes, and to empower
the president TO take owe railroads.

This desire Mr.. Wilson is UNDER

get the public mind fixed upon the
great constructive work of the insti-
tuition or the official in an unfayor-
able Light, they will be able to carry
on their nefarious work and in the
end control the political situation for
their own selfish interests"
Coming down to the subject of taxa
ton. Miss Mccoy said: 1T is the
business OF the elementary teacher and
the teacher in the secondary schools
to instruct the children in their charge
on this subject as well as on all other
subjects pertaining to the conduct of
the states business. 1t is the business
of the state university to make a care
full study Of the machinery of govern
ment, which carries with it a knowl-
edge of the subject of taxation, and TO
give the results of its Investigations on
these subjects to the public. In other
words, there is IN immediate need for
the education of adults of our state on
these great problems OF state govern
ment, and it is the university's bust
ness to attend to such education. Our
own university attempted in all good
faith TO move out along this line. AL
most at once these great destructive
forces set out to destroy the efforts of
the university in this great construc-
tive work. After sober second thought
it must be plain to every citizen in the
state that the university was not in
politics, but was simply carrying on a
legitimate work. and a work which We
as citizens of the state should demand
of this institution.
The destructive forces Of the state
are determined that no light shall be
shed upon these great state problems.
particularly those which pertain to the
subject of taxation and other matters
pertaining to the states great inan-
cial interests. 1t behOoves us as teach
ers and educators, therefore, TO be-
come familiar along all Of these lines,
so that we shall be able 10 give the
truth in a quiet, impersonal aud states
manlike manner to the people with
whom We labaor."
