WEARY OF REEORNI.

Mayor Hylan of New York. who

Mayor Mitchell and most Of the up

another claim to distinction. He has
announced: 1--WE have all the reform

This IS more than might have been
expected even from a Tammany mayor.
Indeed it has usually been considered
good Tammany policy to do a certain

A SIMPLE JUSTICE.

Tulsa World: The former congress
Gied without giving TO the soldiers the
Just protection from law sharks to
which they were entitled as a matter
of right. The man who takes up the work
of fighting for his country and leaves
his personal interests and dependents
at the mercy of 4 cruel world deserves
to have legal protection, not so much
TO relieve him of any personal disaster,
but that his family may not suffer and
that sharks may not grow rich at his
expense
4 bin before the present congress
provides that no summons shall be Is
sued 10 hale a soldier or sailor into civil
courts, that no judgment shall be rem
dered against him, and that his prop
erty shall not be sold under mortgage
while he is in the service. The bill
should pass. Perhaps few rascals
might take advantage Of its provisions
to trump up false claims of immunity

INTEGRITY OF TREATIES.

Tulsa Times: When he addressed the
reichstag the first time after the war
began on August IA, 1914, Bethmann-
Hollweg used these words: "Our troops
have occupied Luxembourg and perhaps
have also found it necessary to enter
Belgian territory. This is contrary to
international law" lie said further:
I'VE shall try to make good the in
justice we have committed as soon as
our military goal has been reached"
On that same fateful day according
to letter addressed to the British fol-
eign secretary and written four days
later by the British ambassador to Ber-
lin, Sir Edward Goshen, the latter called
on the imperial chancellor to tell him
that Great Britain would fight in de
fense of Belgian neutrality. The
chancellor replied that the step taken
| by the British government was ter
rible to a degree; just for word
| neutrality a word which in war time
has so often been disregarded-just for
a scrap of paper, Great Britain was
going to make war on a kindred ma.

WHAT THE WEATHER SAID.

Don't blame the weather man at all
Not wantin' to complain,
For snow falls when it's time to fall,
And rain knows when to rain.
The weather mamie does his best.
And then the weather does the rest.
One brother wants a spell that's dry.
One wants a flood below,
But nary one can run the sky,
Or tell the wind to blow.
The weather still speaks sure and plain:
Il reckon 1 can run this rain!'
Oh, who can tell the weather's plan?
You nights well be resigned!
1t says: I'm tip that weather man,
And then III change my mindH'
The prophets all laid on the shelf
The weather says: "I'n run myself"

BOLsHEyvIST PEACE TERMS.

st. Louis (MoJ Globe-Democrat: If
the German government accepts the
reported peace terms of the Russian
bolshevist leaders a long step will be
taken toward peace.
The fourteenth of the fifteen de.
mands embodied in the alleged peace
of the Russians contains in effect the
fundamental war aim Of President
Wilson. II seeks a peace congress
composed of delegates chosen by
national representative bodies The
acceptance of this demand would
strike the heart Of the German i'm.
perial government 1t would thrust
aside the emperor's constitutional
power to declare war and make peace.
The German government would prob.
ably be able to control the national
representative body" which selected
the peace delegates, but the conces.
sion would be a formal recognition of
the right Of the people to determine
the policy Of the government and the
erms of peace.
The other demands of the bolsheviki

fully agreeing to use it. For the first
time in her history Cuba is expected to
have a considerable wheat crop in 1918
It's only part Of a general campaign
to make Cuba produce her own food
The government is preparing to
finance a great agricultural movement
intended to make the island independ
ent in this respect, and, if possible, tc
provide a food surplus for the benefit
Of the allies.
Hard necessity is driving the Cubans
to it, They are going to sow whea. be

At present il is merely the natural re-

REAL POWER FOR FOOD ADMIN
ISTRATOR

McAlester News-Capital: The bill in
roduca by Senator Pomerene provid-
ing for giving the president and the
food administration some real power in
the matter of food conservation and
distribution is prophetic Of what must
come if the war lasts must longer.
So far Food Administrator Hoover
Las LITTLE power. What he has been
able to accomplish he has done chiefly
through publicity, through advice to
the people and appeals to patriotism.
Much has been accomplished in this
way. People have tried to follow out
instructions and on the whole have
been good naturedly willing to observe
meatless and wheatless days.
But it has not been sufficient. The
food problem is serious and cannot be
taken care of by voluntary efforts
alone. even when backed by patriotism.
Direct authority must be given the
| food administration to control the sit
uation effectively. Our allies are on
rations. We have not come to that
vet. but we may have to soon if the
/ lbOu pIODltlll - llpN tt''Ju'N'H' u wy
! in some other way.
The bill proposed in the senate and
similar measures to be pushed in the
house have been approved by Presi
dent Wilson and Food Administrator
Hoover. AS given in u summary, the
senate bill provides;
Authority to compel observation OF
meatless and v,heatless days; license
hotels and restaurants; control milling
concerns TO increase the flour output
power to enforce substitution Of great
er quantities of rye -four and corr
meal for wheat -four; authority tC
compel use of locally manufactured
products with view to eliminating
crop hauling-another measure neces
sary for greater food regulation
If the people are wise as well az
patriotic they will not resent sucl
granting Of authority. They will wei
come it as making their own Conser
vation problems easier as warding of
more serious food scarcity and as
direct step toward winning the war.

When the call comes for patrol to
