The Red Cross.

An evening class of Surgical Dressings
will meet from now on at Memorial Hall
on Tuesday evenings at z O'Clock. In
this connection please bear in mind that
all are requested to wear aprons. The
large apron with long sleeves is the regu-
lation one which we prefer everyone to
adopt, but if not practicable, please wear
a wash waist and small apron to cover
the skirt We also ask everyone to wear
the white head covering. This may be
economically made by two persons buy
ing piece of white muslin approximate
ly 3sx36 inches though few inches less
is of no consequence. This may be cut
in halves diagonally, thus making two
wells. Or a mans large-size handker-
chief may be utilized as a headpiece. If
one has been exposed to contagious dis
ease or has cold she should not work on
surgical dressings. Tables should be kept
free from purses, bags and handkerchiefs.
Eight hundred and eighteen knitted
articles are reported for the month of
March by the Belfast Red Cross Chapter
secretary, Mrs. James C. Durham. They
were done principally outside of Belfast
owing to Belfast's lack of funds. Bel
fast now has good supply of yarn at
hand for the socks needed and all knit
ters are urged to come for yarn. The
work of the sewing department is much
less than in previous months on account
of the lack of workers. The surgical de-
partment has reached its highest mark
due largely to the increased work in the
town branches. Mrs. Durham reports
18,251 gauze dressings, 634 absorbent
pads, PIG bandages of all kinds. Among
the articles contributed are l04 patch
work quilts and afghans. Twelve kid
vests were sent in from Stockton Springs,
the first made by the chapter. They are
used by the aviators especially. Ninety-
seven property bags have been made.
The Tuesday evening class OF surgical
DRESSINGS, ETC., was opened at Memorial
Hall April 9th under the direction Of Miss
Lena A. Sanborn and Mrs. Fred r. Poor.
There were Is present, not including
many who have expressed their intention
of assisting in this most necessary branch
of Red Cross work. Miss Annie V. Field,

SHOULD TAKE STEPS TO
ADOPT MANAGER PLAN
Enid News

ii there ever was time when the
people here should begin to take
interest in the adoption OF the city
manager plan. it is right now. We
have a city that is Just starting to
grow into proportions that will de-
mand greater leadership and
thought, to guide it properly in its
development. The present city COM
missioners shall be paid 81 500 an
nually. 1t is not an easy matted TO
change Il charter so we can pay
the commissioners more money. 1t
would involve as much work and
thought as the changing of the char
ter TO that of the city manager plan.
There is not a man big enough to
make laws for, and serve well the
city of Enid, who could really al
ford to give all OF his time to the
service of the city, unless such per-
son has independent means on which
he can sustain himself and those de-
pendent upon him. Many persons
here in positions of little respons;-
bility and who have little knowledge,
are drawing salaries larger than
what the city commissioners arc
getting. 1t is a humiliation to the
CITY commits ssioners to serve for such
meager salary, and I'LL positions of
such trust and responsibility. Think
of having 4 man making laws Tor
this city and giving all of his time
(according to the charter to the
service of the city for the sum OF
one hundred twenty-five dollars a
month. 1t is preposterous to ex-
pect a man to endure such a condi-
ton.
Enid cannot afford to delay much
longer the laying of definite and i'm
mediate plans to adopt the city man
ager plan of government.

loved ones to the sacrifice.
Does the policeman love the MUIR
derer he catches?
Does any police department tell
its men who stand between the thugs
and civilization that they must love
the gunmen, the rapists, the mid
night burglars?
The policement know that cease
less, relentless war must be made up
on criminals, and that unless they
be caught and punished, civilization
would be destroyed,
Has any preacher or editor in the
land insisted that love and not burn
ing righteous wrath must fill the
souls of our policemen as they risk
their lives to capture the outrager
of women and the murderer OF help
less children?
Why, then, should they teach that
we as the upholders of the world
civilization must be lenient in
thought with the vilest criminals
who ever blackened the earth with
their crimes?
When the criminal has been
caught and convicted and is to be
hanged, the preacher very properly
seeks to lead his soul into the light,
and that will be proper task for
us when the nation of criminals has
been caught and convicted and its
leaders stand before the gallows. But
no preacher of true morality or true
religion would dare say the individ-
ual criminal should not pay the full
penalty of his crimes. And so the
nation of criminals must pay the
full penalty OF its awful crimes upon
humanity.

THE "CLOWN PRINCE"

1t is a common thing to hear con
temptous remarks concerning thu
German crown prince. A fair-mindet
person might be disposed to Sc
down most OF this talk as due tC
mere animosity.
That there is ample cause, how
ever, for the princes reputation is
proved BY the testimony of Doctor
Davis. an American who was the
royal family's dentist until we de
clarcd war, and who knows Fritz
very well.
The first time young Frederick
William came to see DR.. Davis, he
was so ncverous and frightened over
the prospect of having work done on
sore tooth that he trembled all
over. 81 suppose the crown prince
and the future ruler OF Germany
ought to be brave at all times he
admitted, "but just hate to go to a
dentist" Hardly what one should
have expected OF a swashbuckling

impossible to work on him salts

The seriousness with which he
regards the drain of German man

attitude toward women. may be in
ferred from a remark he made a year
or two ago: With so many men
at the front. the men at home ought
to be having a fine time with the
women. eh. what Do YOU see many
good-looking girls in Berlin now ?

Petitions for all candidates for
governor of New York having been
filed, the campaign has been formally
opened, a three -cornered fight be-
ing in prospect in the Republican
camp, while the Democrats have but
mild contest to interest them. Gov.
Whitman is opposed for the Repub-
lican nomination by both Merton +.
Lewis and William M. Bennett, and
the campaign promises to be the bit
terest in the history of the Empire
state. The designated Democratic
candidate is Alfred +. Smith, but he
is opposed by William Church Os-
born. Smith is said to be personally
the most popular man in the state,
and is expected to win the primary
nomination easily. In that event Os-
born promises to give him loyal sup
port. No petition for William X.
Hearst for governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket, which seemed probable
a few days ago, was filed. Whether
he will support Whitman or Smith
is vet to be determined.
