Editor in an Ugly Mood.


The editor of the Galena
Times got into . very spitsful
mood last week and said real
mean things about this paper,
all because we remarked that q
few Galena people were holding
back the extension Of the South.

Springs, and in their demands
upon the company appeared to be
alittle narrow-mindsd. Ofcourse
we know that The Times ia bit

the proposed extension 10 not to
be made for the exclusive benefit
Of Galena but rather for the pnr.
pose of making direct and short
connection between the Baxter.
Miami ore field and the Joplin
district. And of course. in its
attitude, we give the Galeua
paper credit for attempting to be
loyal to its home community,
but il should bear in mind that
this railroad extension concerns
other towns besides Galena. In
fact there are q great many more
people in Lowell, Baxter Springs,
Pitcher. Commerce. Miami and
all along the proposed line, who
want the run between Baxter
Springs and Joplin to be made az
quickly as possible and who do
not want to spend q half hour on

It's the promised cold wave. 1t fol-

ADMITS ORDERS TO CAMPS
Secretary Baker Extends Privilege
Granted 70 Knights Of Columbus.

Secretary Baker announced yester-
day a policy to govern activities OF
fraternal organizations in army train
ing camps. Camp commanders will be
directed to permit the construction of
buildings within the camp sites by any
fraternal organization or group of or
carnations acting together; facilities
of the camp for social and fellowship
meetings will be extended and ac-
credited Representatives from the
various societies will be authorized to
visit the camps and arrange for en-
tertainments for the men at the build
ings thus erected or in nearby COM
munities. It is agreed, however, that
no limitations or secret meetings Of
any kind are to be carried ON within
the camps; that existing well-recog-
nized societies only shall be accorded
the recognition and that propaganda
work among the soldiers in behalf OF
any new. society is forbidden.
The regulations were the result Of
conferences held recently between
Secretary Baker and representatives
Of the principal fraternal orders Of
the country. A previous order by the
War Department had permitted the
Knights of Columbus, with the Young
Mems Christian Association. to carry
on welfare work within the army
training camps, but barring other
secret orders. This resulted in repre-
sensations from the other fraternal
orders.
