DAILY PAID
AUGUST CIRCULATION.
THE LABOR RAIDS.

THERE is no dispute about the wisdom OF requiring Loaf
= es TO 60 to work, or supplying the governments labor
needs from the nom essential occupations. No loyal Aneri-
can wants to withhold any needed portion OF the nations
man power from engaging in winning the war, either by
working in the war industries, or fighting in the trenches
Such indignation as has resulted from the labor drive in
this state is against the press-gang methods employed, Tat1-
.r than against the result sought. CONSUMPTION OF labor is
not a popular notion in America, but, in a form, it will
quite cheerfuly he accepted, as was conscripion OF military
forces. We must use our man power to best advantage, IT
n Il to prove sufficient to crush the Hun.
All that being granted, as il will be by all who appreciate
the seriousness Of this crisis, there remains only the question
of method to settle. On behalf OF the federal employment
service, it may be said they have a rush order OF workmen
10 fin. Volunteers we're not responding with sufficient
slacrity or in the required numbers, There remained for
them only concription, and It is quite as fair that men
should work where needed, as that they should fight where
needed. Also, idle men and men in unnecessary employment
have had warning, which should have proved sufficient,
under the work or fight orders OF the provost marshal gen
ersfs office. Evidently some Of them were disposed to ig-
more or misinterpret that ruling, and some of those have
been placed on the job in a somewhat sudden manner.
But many do not believe that the summary methods en-
pioyed wer, necessary, nor do we. No such system of
shanghaiing is required to select men for the more hazard
Gus work OF the army. The drafted men are merely notified,
and they come cheerfuly to take up the highest responsible
iy OF citizenship. Exceptions to that rule are a negligible
minimum There is not the same machinery available for
,Itc,iug workingmen for war industries. Still, It is abou,
easy 10 notify a man ss to arrest him, and few men would
,lorc a summons from an authoritative source. The stig.
w. of Jail need not be placed on men going to honorable
.]uployment, even il tn. work were not entirely Of their
,,n choosing. II is true that the general warning PROVED
iutle in many instances, but a direct and personal motto,
would not, we believe, have been frequently ignored. Mos
Americans are eager to help to the best OF their ability, anC
those who arc less patriotic have at least a wholesome re
,peet for federal authority.
All this being true, Il doesn't seem necessary to GROVE
the jails in order to secure an adequate working force. Tn,
sentler plan is more American, and nearer according to tn,
democracy we are preserving. More laborers than thost
nov assembled must be supplied by Oklahoma. They arr
needed, and this state must not fail in any essential wa

Now that the Austrian peace proposals have been per
manently timed, the New York Times, which saw in them a
Great Hope, seems willing to go on and win the war in the
only way it can be won. But it hasn't yet admitted that it
bluuderci in its view of the Hapsburg note, nor has it hint
ed that there was danger of incalculable damage in entering
the conference which Austria proposed. But that DANCES
was very real, and we rejoice that Wilson, Lloyd George
and Clemenceau had VISION enough to see it clearly. When
peace p~srleys begin, whether or not an arnistlce Is declared,
the fighting spirit of the people will wane. That is as in,
evitable as it is natural, for peace parleys end wars, There
fore there must be none until the Hun is beaten and &C
knowledgcs defeat.

work. But, in the interest Of harmony, which, like selection
is needed in exerting our fullest strength, a less violent sys-
tenn OF recruiting should be employed. The man who doesni
respond when called, whether for war or work, has small
claim for consideration, but, until he has received such
summons, he should not be subject to summary arrest and
incarceration. The man drafted for the army is given time
10 adjust his affairs, and the man who must leave his home
to enter war work, should have a similar privilege. II jus

And coal the men are mining
All sorts Of prices soar away
Up 10 q lofty level.
And ultimate consumers pay.
But sec small cause to reyel
They hear that warfare IL 10 blame
For how the costs are hitting,
Aud therefore they must play the game
To stimulate the fighting.
Materials and labor. too,
Are acarcer than the dickens.
And higher prices stll are due
For cabbages and chickens.
And. facing this. one more advance
May not perturb them greatly
They'll pay the bill and take a chance,
