''Saue the Waste and Win the War;
SAVE THE SCHOOLS.

PREACHERS may quit the Oklahoma schools in case their
- demand for increased pay is refused It may have to
be refused in the that the additional tax levy and
bond issue are defeated However in supporting those
proposals the voter has something than the teachers
10 consider In all fairness the teachers entitled to
more paw II little less than scandal that they should
be asked to work for present wages when the cost OF living
has scared to present heights But it might be possible to
get teachers of sort even without increased pay, at
lesser increase than asked But the efficiency Of the schools
cannot be maintained without money, and that IS
matter of more general interest than the teachers salaries
More money i, needed for repairs for buildings for
Fairgrounds and all of these Improvements essential
to the growth and well-beng of the city
Those the reasons these tax and bond measures
should have the support of every loyal citizen The voter
who is against them is poor citizen, matter what
exalted opinion he may have of himself He is denying
children something which is their rghtul due, and he is
working against the best interests of the city Money put
into schools pays the greatest returns Of any public ex-
penditure in this country Patriotism to support
schools as Loyalty as we support army and navy.
Schools are mighty factor in the making of this great,
free nation and they be kept abreast Of the times
less zenship is to deeriorate
As Tor the teachers need not worry about them,
oept as we worry about losing them There is demand
for teachers which greater than the supply, and
there is demand for those with the education teachers
have in other lines Of work But is not enough for
TO have teachers; we want loyal force of competent
teachers and that sort of service must be paid for and
should be Remember that, and vote to maintain our
schools

A GERMAN PEACE DRIVE.

IRON Germany and not from the Vatican comes the
report that Pope Benedict will appeal for peace again
Whitsunday Whether the pope will make new proposal
or not uncertain as any statement Of the lying Huns
lie has made previous oyerurcs in that direction only to
be rejected and that fail to be their fate at such
time With the western drive spending its force, it is
not unlikely the Tcutons win have reached their limit by
May l9 At any rate after such smash with its awful
toll Of German lives peace plan would be fine sop to
offer the German people something to prompt their hope
that the way had been won through this bath Of blood to
peace Such camouflagc would he strengthened il the
peace offer could come from the pope And it is possible
may come from such source I'm his coistercd SecuSion
the eminent ponN does not grasp the real
ing OF this war; he in it horror which should be
ended the earliest possible moment and fails to see in
Prussan militarism force which must be destroyed be-
fore the conflict closes.
But Great Britain and France who have faced wars
dcvastaon for nearly four years thus blinded to
the real issue Neither is America going into the
fight, and with constantly increasing forces. Mediation
has place in this controversy now; only force without
stint the president pointed out carry to righteous
settlement Peace would be to Germanys advantage
Of coupe which probably explains why peace rumors have
their beginnings there For the allies it is unthnkabe
and while proposal from the pope would be received with

a, firmly and certainly as his previous efforts
No matter what concessions Germany might offer and
Germany is mood orego the bulk OF her gains,
peace which left the German military autooracy intact
would be menace to the world The world has learned
that the promises OF that worthless and there
fore it cannot be safely dealt with until it is broken

Therefore American should listen peace talk now
nor permit any restraining influence to hinder the cvcron
