The woman movement in the world
today is one Of the most potent fac.
tors in influencing the lives Of the
different nations of people The move

Europe where women had to enter

only but the whole world vas ready

|Quick.y and warmly welcomed even
in this country Women have for
Years been asking for a chance and

back 1t was not so long ago that
women in this country were not adj
mitted to colleges We look back up
on that now as being species of
barbarism and may we not someday
look with equal impatience upon our,
selves now for holding back the WON,
en- population from pursuing a course
for which she is we'll fitted and in
(which the world needs her. It re-.

Icess that puts men to thinking.
The woman movement has been il.
Illustrated in our midst in the new set
Itemsnt that is being formed in the
Healdton oil fields. That the new
town being built by Jake l.. Hamon is
a good business point no one ques-
tions, that merchants, hotel men and
h representatives Of all other lines Of
Legitimate business will make as much
there in two years as they will make
in the ordinary town in ten years is
conceded, and the women folks are
more anxious to go there than men.
The women are anxious to get in
a live community, they are ambitious
to do something, they have been able
to stand off and see their husbands as
Others see them, they see them in the
Irut and see them working hard and
making out only a living with but a
few dollars to spare and these women
are willing to take'1uck in the new
town, brave the difficulties that might
come catch the inspiration that comes
from doing something and build a
handsome bank account.
While the women are eager to en-
ter the new town the men in many
instances are the rabbits, they are
the timid members of the family. they
fear the suffering from breaking
away from old conventional ties that
have tied women to the apron string
in the home and the men folks are
standing in the way now of the pro-
gress OF many families who deserve
to do more than they are doing.

President Wilson Immediately took
into consideration the dkmands made
upon him to call a special session OF
congress without days delay, in or
der that a formal declaration OF war
might be passed, bu in the last OBJ
tainable statement from the White
House last night 1t was said that the
president had not as ret definitely de-
cided to issue the call.
1t is believed that the next move to
be made by the president Will be to
issue orders to the navy department
to despatch Americai warships into
the war zone, to clear the lanes for
American traffic and to seek out and
destroy the hostile submarines.
Officials here advance the opinion,
and have so informed the president,
that he is empowered under the con-
stitution to issue q declaration of war
himself pending the assembling or
congress, but there is no indication
that the president will follow such a
course.
