What Are We Going TO DO About It?

common sense, and that is the line
tha, will keep our bed and food and
home clean. The line that will main
tain the purity that We have attained
through the refining by fire. We
must say to the Hun in Europe. in
America, in Asia, anywhere he may
be found:
Get to work within the confines
OF your own country. Build up and
purify the land. Purge it ii the
filth that clogs its spirit, Wash it
clean OF the evil that it has clung to
so long. Refine it with years OF sac
rifice and honest work for the right.
Then, after the leaven has worked
and passing decades have carried
away the last grain OF the old devil
ish doctrine and beliefs, then it is
possible that the nations may grant
you amnesty and let YOU so out
through the world at large once
more. 1t is up to YOU. Get to work
on yourself
Lettinp the Hun wander at will
after this war is over will be like
leaving the line OF fuse burning and
merely cutting off the dead end al
ter the spark had crawled inward
toward the magazine.
Allowing him TO have the same old
freedom to come TO our shores
would be as foolish. and as diSas-
trous nthe end, as it would be to
smother ire with cotton loosely
piled.
President Wilson and his advisers
have great many matters to handle
and many questions to decide. ! .et
us not leave them to do all the
thinking or all the talking on this
question. The American people are
concerned to such degree in this
matter that they should not delegate
to any man or body OF men the task
OF thinking for them. They should
do their own thinking and when they
have had time to formulate plan
that looks feasible and thorough go
ing. they should say to their servants

Here! You put this through on
the lines we have laid down. 1t is no
time for fooling or for doing party
politics. Put up the bars and spike
them fast, so no one can slip them.
We have stomachful and we must
have time to digest it before we
swallow any more.
Then get busy with the American
of foreign birth and Americanize
him or throw him over the bars, to
the soil that bore him. We have no
room in America for the man who
shouts, "Hurrah ior America" and
follows it with whisper OF "Gott

There will be a wonderful trans

a degree OF completeness that fhe

The informal cooperation OF the

FEDERATIONISTS

On behalf of the City OF Ardmore
and its citizens, the Ardmoreite eX-
tends greetings to the delegates and
visitors to the fifteenth annual con
vention of the Oklahoma State Fed
Grafton Of Labor. May your stay
with us be both profitable and pleas
ant. Ardmore will do her best to
make your visit as pleasant as pos
sible. The profit you will gain from
the convention depends entirely
upon Yourselves. You are gathered
in conference at one Of the most
critical times in the nations history
and the Ardmoreite has confidence
in the proper result OF this meeting
The workingman has always risen
10 the needs OF the times and during
the period OF the United States par
ticipation in the world war he has
set an example that will stand out
boldly in the history OF unipnlsm III
America.
In the past YOU have done much
to better the workingman's condl-
tions in Oklahoma, often in the iace
of MANY discouragements and much
opposition. Iiew straight to your
course. The greatest good TO the
greatest number" and the knowI-
edge of work well done and the
thanks OF 4 grateful membership
will be yours.
The report Of your secretary
treasurer gives to the world the
record OF the Oklahoma working
mans share in winning the war.
No call has come that has not been
promptly answered, cheeriully and
literally. You have sent your boys
TO the front, you have conserved
food, YOU have purchased Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps and
have given literally to the Ked
Cross and other war work associa-
tions. You have stood at your posts
that business might continue. When
the war is over, Oklahoma can
gratefully say to her workingman
SWer done, good and faithful
servant
Your legislative committee has
labored hard and long to secure
better laws and laws more equit.
able for the workingman and Will
20 before the coming legislature
with new proposals. The enactment
OF law is only the beginning. You
should continue the fight by insist
inc that the laws be enforced. Not
only laws that better the condition
OF workingmen but all laws that
tend to the protection OF society and
advance the public safety.
MANY workers have arisen from
the ranks to occupy positions OF
trust and honor in the state. Many
more will aspire TO such honors ana
they will have the brighf example
Of their predecessors who have al
wavs made good. But the Ardmore-
te would call attention to a factor
n Oklahoma politics that Is work
.ng and will work great harm TO the
workingman. With newspapers,
such as the Daily Oklahoman, ad-
hitting that the law limiting cam
paign expenditures in primary eIec-
lions has long been regarded as
lead letter and the rapidly increas-
,ngs cost of campaigning for Office
1 will not be long before the price
,f a campaign will put all thought
of preferement out OF the reach OF
he workingman.
Again, the Ardmoreite says:
Welcome" The city is yours and
IS people bespeak pleasant and
profitable visit.

Washington, Sept l+-Aside from
employees named on the list sent to
the regional directors, the admins
tration said deferred classification
should be obtained for other clearly
necessary, the federal railroad
managers using the greatest care
and discretion in doing so.
Proposed Deferred List.
Following are those on the list:
General officers. master me-
chanics. roundhouse and ship foH
men. machiniStts. blacksmiths. bolVer>
makers, tin and coppersmiths, pipe
filters. electricians. freight car and
passenger car repairmen and in
spectors, helpers, and apprentices OF
the foregoing; chemists, locomotive
inspectors. gang leaders, superln'
tendants and assistant superin-
tendents. trainmasters and assistant
trainmasterS, train despatchers and
directors. yardmasterS, and asst
ants. road foremeu OF engines and
assistants. travelling engineers. fire

ice ioremen bridge building and
ship and wharf carpenters, signal
maintenance men and telegraph and
telephone maintainerS.
AS to Other Employees.
"As to employees not in the fore
going list" said the administration 5
instructions, the federal managers
should exercise the greatest care and
discretion to aid in obtaining defer
red classification for those clearly
necessary, while refraining from TAX
ing this step in other cases; where
a given position can reasonably bE
filed by promotion or by emplcir
ment of an outsider, male or female,
no effort to secure deferred classifi-
cation should be made. The mere
question OF inconvenience or in
creased expense is not sufficient
for regarding employe as necessary.
But where, on account OF the
character OF the work or the COM
plete lack OF availability of another
to do the work, the existing in
cumbent is really necessary, the
federal managers should take all
practical steps to secure deferred
classification.
The railroads under government
control is an essential industrial
agency. The necessary employees
should be given a deferred classifi-
cation. 1t is desired that the federal
managers give this matter their
active personal attention to make
sure that deferred classification is
properly claimed for employees that
are necessary and also that no such
claim is made where it can be
reasonably avoided, since the max
ing of unnecessary claims IS botfl
unfair to the government in its work
OF creating the necessary military
and naval forces and injurious to
the railroad administration in IFS
effort to secure deferred classifica-
ton for employees who are really
necessary"

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

she will get nowhere. The proba-

Walsh. the Democratic candidate,
will win easily i'll the election.
OF the 81 Nebraska soldier votes,
only 200. or less than one-third, were
cast Tor George W. Norris for
United States senator, presumably
because OF his anti-war record. Pri-
mary returns show that had the war

General Gouraud is fifty-one years

the most brilliant figures in the
French colonial wars. He first dis

ing Fez at the head OF his troops in
June, 1912. AT the beginning OF the

The Real Mother Is as Careful to
Train Her Child's Character as to
Provide For His Physical Wants.

Bv Miss Harriet Frances Carpenter.
A young mother recently related
an occurrence which had repeated
itself on several occasions in her
home and which she had found most
irving. She said, MY children go

knots in them in connection with a

that she was right. y
gravely asked this thoughtless
mother if it wuold not have been
better for Anne to aid in the task OF
untying the stockings, being led, by
sharing in the toll, to feel grateful
for the many times her mother 5
patient hands had done it for her.
"Oh, she couldn't unite them, she
answered, with shake OF her head.
Had she tried, and found it inn
possible, she might, OF her own ac-
cord, have stopped knotting the
stockings" | replied.

Henry Crosby Emery, one of the
distinguished series of speakers who
followed him, while saying that he
did not want to be understood as
passing judgment on the plan, said
that the American Army had not
been enlisted for such purpose and
that it was difficult to keep up the
morale of an army of occupation
and to continue the crusading spirit
of war for liberation after liberia

"OUR BOYS DID SPLENDID

The Jewish Legionaires, officially
described as the 38th and 39th Juda-
cans, constituted a part of ''Patter-
sons Column during the recent
operations in Palestine. Patterson's
Column was the name given to the
troops under the command of the
former leader of the Zion Mule
Corps who is now a Brigadier-Gen-
eral. This column captured the
fords over the Jordan, and then
chased the Turks to Els Salt and
Amman, where they were either
killed or captured by British Caval-

in London, General Patterson says
of the Jewish Legionaires: "Our
