ON TIE JOB.

Police detectives Sunday night ar
rested three men who may prove 10
be trio OF thugs as desperate as any
at large in the United States. These
arrests were made after the men had
displayed two guns and had hurled
a bottle of nitroglycerin at one OF the
arresting officers. These detectives
stood their ground, placing the men
under arrest only after wounding on,
by shooting him in the leg.
Sunday nights episode is only one
OF the many that the Tulsa police
department faces day in and day out.
In almost every instance the same eff
cheney and bravery Is displayed by
those men who have been retained by
the city administration to guard the
lives and property OF the citizenry.
The department Is small-far too
small for the best interests of the city
at largo-but the men who comprise
the police force are wide awake, con-
scientious men who are doing all in
their power to keep the city clean and
free from those persons who would
pillage and plunder while the city
sleeps.
After midnight every man who is
abroad Is stopped by the police and
questioned closely. Those failing to
give a satisfactory account of them
selves are escorted to the municipal
Jail where they are held behind steel
bars until their cases can be investi-
gated. This innovation is one OF eX-
the heads Of the department In insti-
tuting this program cannot be toe
highly commended.
There is no comparing the Tulsa OF

The redlight district has been wiped
out and the rooming house evil is fast
being eliminated. These institutions

LEWIS IN NEW ROLE.

The announcement that General
Kuhn is to be the next chief of staff
OF the American army was made. not
at Washington, but at Chicago. The
information came, not from the secre-
tary of war or the president but
from Senator James Hamilton Lewis.
1t was not given out thru the press,
but In an address which the senator
made before the Catholic Order of
Foresters in his home city. The public
will not be censorious regarding the
manner In which II gets news so long
as II get II; but 1t would seem that
the various publicity boards, from
that presided over Ny George Creel
down thru the line. might have bull
leuned news as important as this, In
stead of having II given out In n
speech made before seoxet society,
thence TO leak into the newspapers.

Paris Pays High Tribute

PARIS. Nov.\ 5.-The Paris edition
Of the Herald. In an editorial today
says:
in Journalism agency telegram
Used TO be n synonym for anything
that is prosy and stereotyped. but the
war has changed all that. The most
brilliant and animated narratives of
events at the front have been tele-
graphed by the correspondents of the
news agencies. and among the agen-
cies the Associated Press certainly
takes first place.
THE dispatches sent in this mo-
mentous week from the Italian front
by the Associated Press correspondent
have supplied not only the first de-
Jailed news of the Austro- German Of
.ensive, but also the most graphic and
vivid descriptions OF fighting that
have been received from any cor
respondent during the war. No praise
could be higher or better merited."

THE SAFE WAY.


There's one safe way, my boy, to play
The game Of life from day to day;
You do not need lawyer wise
10 tell you where each pitfall lies,
The rules that govern you are few
And really very simple, too.
Re honest with yourself and then
You will be square with other men.
Don't try TO YIN by methods slick,
Don't undertake a shady trick,
The meanest man / ever saw
Could cheat and stay within the law.
II ever YOU begin to doubt
The honor OF what you re about
And wonder IL it's wrong or right;
II by that little act you might
Material advantage gain,
Forget i; II will leave st\n.
II you must stop and ask yourself
II In some book upon a shelf
There is law unknown 10 you.
TO justify the deed you'd do
Dismiss the thot and pass along,
The doubt Is proof that II is wrong
You II never wander far astray
II you will rule yourself that way.
II once suspicion canes TO you
That what you are about TO do
Is wrongful; never mind the book,
Don't waste your precious time TO look,
PLAY safe and choose the harder way,
That no man living here may SAY
That your success Is s,aiued with shame
Because YOU played crooked game.
Whom you're In doubt--be wise. be- strong
Don't do the deed that may he wrong.

For the reason the boys are the
ones who are most vitality affected.
SO far as simplicity-or uniformity
we believe some call It's concerned
we are willing to admit the girls

1t is obvious that the garb the
young ladies wear does not concern

There may be few who are

Nothing serious, you understand.

Thus, having no serious thots of
matrimony they are. of course, not
materially interested in what the
young ladies wear,
BY virtue on the fact that they
wont have to buy the clothes.
Not for time at least.
While Il is true that some Of the
