TO THE PUBLIC

Beginning March 1, 1918 new long dis
tance telephone tariff will be effective. This
tariff provides for rates on an air line basis,
and the change will affect few if any rates for
distances under 80 miles. For distances from
80 to As miles it increases some of the rates
as much as five cents. For distances from As
to 80 miles it increases some of the rates as
much as ten cents, and on distances greater
than 80 miles the rates are proportionately in
creased.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-02-28

Our long distance lines and exchange ia
cilities are loaded to their full capacity, in
fact earning every dollar our plant is capable
of earning at present rates for service and it
IS thought more equitable to obtain the addi-
tional revenue by increasing the toll rates on
greater distances where copper wire is used,
rather than on distances under 80 miles, where
iron wire is used.

LIARS MAGNIFICENT.
BY Meredith Nicholson.

When we fought the Apaches il wa,
always problem for our soldiers {,
find them. They were enormously Gun
ming in hiding themselves in the hills
| they were masters OF eamoufage before
the word was introduced into the mill
| tary vocabulary.
The country is now beset by great
numbers of Apaches who do not fight
in the open but use weapons that range
! from casual innuendo to brazen lying. II
is the business of all loyal Americans
| to protect the men who have yaliantly
undertaken to fight for us by land and
sea from the consequences of the mali
cious speech OF these insidious enemies.
The kaiser has long arm. His fingers
tickle first one group in America and
then another Those who respond to
his seductive arts will find money ready
to aid them in their purposes. As in
the old melodramas, it will be hidden in
the roots OF a certain tree down by the
old bridge Persons of German ANCESTRY
or birth who, not being against the
kaiser are against America; pacifists
who advocate peace at any price; NAL
evolent gossips who lie about the Red
Cross and its work; other liars who at
tempt to impede the success of Liberty
loans under one nretext or another; all
such are enlisted in the kaiser's army
OF mendacity that is now at work to
destroy the effectiveness of American
arms in the most righteous of all wars.
Reports have lately been circulated
that the American government is dis
eliminating against members of the
Catholic church. This is a typical lie.
In my own city indianapolis the Cath
Ollie cathedral flies over its door daily
a much bestarred service flag, and Cath
Ollie boys of my acquaintance have won
commissions on their merits without any
consideration whatever of their religious
belief. They themselves never thought
of such thing. But the kaiser's agents
have hit upon this as a means of spread
ing discussion. In Indianapolis we have
had repeated evidence of the spiteful in
dustry of the Red Cross liar The Red
Cross liar is the man or woman who
says that money contributed TO the Red
Cross is wasted; that somebody is max
ing money out of Red Cross contribu-
tions, or that hospital supplies are inn
properly or wastefully made. Another
liar in the kaiser's American army of
liars spreads reports that our men in
the environments are dying by thousands |
for lack of proper attention. The re- |
ports of the chief medical officer of the |
army are published constantly and are
accessible TO all There is no founda |
tion whatever for such stories.
Watch for the kaiser's liars! Ameri- |
ca has not vet been honeyeombed with |
sedition as Russia was, but the work is
going on. There is a great work to do
in America to maintain its domestic Sc
curity while the war proceeds to its tri-
umphant conclusion-a conclusion that |

cy can only be served by enlisting the en-
tire man power of the nation in such
service as each individual can best render
| We have tried the volunteer system in
creating a national army, and its results
were by no means contemplate. In the
navy, it has worked very well since the
declaration of war. but, looking at the
problem in its largest aspect, the system
| Of selective service is the only practical
and equitable solution of the problem
But selective service itself has not en-
tered on one OF its most important
phases, to wit, the practical CONSUMPTION
of all labor for war purposes.
Inevitably, we shall be driven to some
form of universal service, not, perhaps,
so radical as to take every man of work
ing age and place him, perforce, in an oc-
cupation to be arbitrarily selected by the
government, but to limit and focus in
some degree, his efficient activities to the
purposes of winning the war.
That is to say, the non-essential indus.
tries-an their number is mighty few
must be prepared to transfer their skilled
workers to other lines of work, and men
who will not work at anything must be
required to go to work at some necessary
occupation, even if it is no more than
acting as cooks helper in cantonment

Naturally, such plan would probably
be beyond the abilities of local boards.
organized and paid as they are now, but
something of the sort is undoubtedly
under way, and the result of the spring
fighting ON the French front is quite
likely to bring the whole matter to
head.
Meanwhile, it should be a matter of
personal duty and privilege for con-
scripted men to take up such training as
is offered, thus avoiding if possible the |
waste and lost motion inevitably a part |
of the slow progress of big and fairly |
system of enlistment.-Rut- |
