The Republican Tile
(Spl'ingfeld Republican,


A republican tide in the Southwest
is plainly evidenced in the election
returns from the fifth congressional
district Of Oklahoma. The republican
victory there by 1900 plurality, in a
democratic district, is unmistakable,
and cannot be minimized.
Viewpoints National Guard
Barton Monitor)
The entire county has an interest
in seeing that Newport has a.national
guard company of the required
strength to make possible the cree
ton of state armory in this city,
The erection of an armory of the size
and character this building will be, is
something of benefit 70 the entire
county, and wherever there are men
who can enlist with the Newport men
in order to make the company 100
strong before Jan. /, whether resi-
dents of Newport or not, they may
feel that they are doing something
for their community as well as for
themselves, though the sacrifice in
volved in such enlistment is some
thing Everyone is interested in see
ing a big new armory in Newport,
but the first requisite to such a build
ing is 100 strong National Guard
company, and anything and every
thing that can be done to help
should be willingly offered.

We Agree Also

(Hyde Park News and Citizen)
The Newport Express is of the
opinion that Curtis S. Emery of that
city would be a strong candidate for
the governorship-a conclusion it has
arrived at after seeing chat his
name has been favorably mentioned
by different papers of the state" We
heartily agree with the Express. Mr..
Emery has made good in every posi-
ton he has been called upon to fill
and would no doubt make an excel
lent governor. Court" has host of
friends who would be pleased to
see him in the Governors chair
Whether he would enter the contest
for the nomination is, however, an
other question.

more freely. no war activities, new
people coming in, new oil discoveries,
revival of building. and an increase of
confidence.
Collections are reported by nine as
excellent. by twenty as good. and by
four as fair. while it is asserted that
this splendid payment activity will
no doubt be reflected in increased pur-
chases after harvest is over and prob
ably thruout the. year" Business
failures are fewer than at any time in
a quarter of a century. according to
the report.
An analysis Of reports of wholesale
and retail merchants and mail order
houses shows that the retail dry goods
trade is particularly healthy and as it
is made up of numerous small sales it
is evident 1t is based on actual current
consumption. Retail houses handling
dry goods, clothing. shoes and kindred
lines are doing a heavy business and
it is remarked that generally the peo-
pie are demanding better goods.

EAT MORE BEEF
That Is Appeal Mercer Sends
Out to Kansans.
1t Is the Cheapest Meat on the
Market Now.

Appeals to Kansans to cat more
beefsteak were made today by J. H.
Mercer, state livestock sanitary COM
missioner and an officer of the state
livestock association. Stock raisers of
this state have organized and will
conduct a beef consumption cam
paign. Packers have reduced beef
prices at least a nickel a pound below
the April quotations, according to
MERGERS statement
The campaign for consumption of
beef and mutton is to be made nation
wide. The fact that beef and mutton
are no longer needed by the allied
armies is given by Mercer as a reason
for the extensive campaign. There is
little concern as to pork. 1t can be
exported without troubleA But the
big consumption of beef and mutton
must be by home people. The first of
a series OF advertisements appeared
today in Topeka papers. following
MERGERS return from Chicago, where
ne attended the meeting of the ma
tlonai producers committee.
Beef Cheapest Meat.
Beef is now the cheapest meat
or should be-if the retailer is fair
with his consumers" Mercer stated.
Producers are and for two months
have been selling their cattle at a
packers at $5 A hundred weight
cheaper than their April quotations"
Mercer declares that the present re-
sponsibility rests with the retailer. If
he is not trying to force an abnormal
profit. the beef and mutton prices to
consumers should be considera bly,
lower than in April
Aid Stoclxmen.
Kansas people are just as depend
ent upon the prosperity of the stock
men as they are upon the wheat rails
er. said Mercer in his appeal for con-
sumption of home grown products.
BY eating more beef the consumer
will not only economic but will aid
the stockmen in cutting down the sur
plus stocks of beef held in the coolers
of the packers. Pork is in demand for
export. Beef must be consumed at
home"
Mercer declared that butchers who
are selling beef at the old prices are
prefiteering at the expense of the con-
suming public. He has asked consum-
ers to report to him regarding any
known cases of price gouging by re-
tailers.

added apologet:cally. He is in some
sort of trouble 1 am sure.
What did he. say to you?" l felt =
little indignant that aunt had asked
questions about Neil's business az
fairs. yet I was so anxious to kno'
what she had been told that hid
the resentment from her.
HE said that the man asked
about was on the verge of some trou-
BILE in his affairs. That h S health was
giving way under the strain; and that
unless he changed his tactics he would
regret it always
1 shivered with dread and appre-
hens:on. 1 had no way of knowing
that aunt, as had I. had given the in
formation in her question. That al
most anyone with a keen brain would
have made the same deduction as had
the man to whom we had paid ten
dollars for few minutes of his time.
TT is ridiculous for him to have
talked that way. I know Neil is wor
ried and anxious: what man rs young
as he who made so much money
money wouldn't be? But the very
idea of his daring to say that Neil
must change his tactics 1t is almost
insulting" Then after a moments
silence I added: "I hope you won't
repeat <hat to Neil. 1 wouldn't let
him know you had questioned the
man about him or his affairs If 1
were you dO6Sil any LllIe
that looks like Interference. you
know" 1 said, thinking of his wish
that his aunt would go home.

anything ] want to. And as for in
terfering. it would have been better
il had done that when / first came.
m not blind. Bah. 1 know there is
something queer about Neirs business
affairs. 1 also know you are aware of
it, and that il worries you, causes you
great anxiety"
II do worry" I admitted. Then
anxious to disabuse her mind of any
i suspicion of Neil I added But only
because of his health Why Mr.. Fred
erick told me only the other day that
Nell was perfectly wonderful in bust
ness" I did not add: IF he used his
keenness in the right direction" which
had been the way Mr.. Frederick had
finished
well Frederick is all right HIM
self, but I am convinced Neil isn't -
aunt said decidedly, Just as we reached
home.

because of his constant overworking.)

The war department has refused to
sell its holdings of 14e,0OO, 900 pounds
of meat at the price offered. This of
course is a fine thing for the packers.
1t also shows what the pretended So
licitude for the victims of food prof
iteers in this country is worth. We
must continue to buy meat at such
prices as the packers choose to fix.
Altho we are raising more wheat than
we need for our own consumption, we
are paying 10 cents a loaf for bread.
We have enormous meat supplies and
more meat animals on the YARNS than
ever before in our history, but we are
paying record prices for meat prod
ucts. And the government. which
might be expected to give relief when
opportunity offers. refuses to do so.
1t should find a way to convey its sur
plus holdings of foodstuffs to the con-
surAers

The last hope of the opponents of
woman suffrage for it's defeat. disap-
penred with the ratification of the
federal amendment by Texas. The ac-
tion OF the Lone Star state breaks the
solid south. on which the anti-suffra-
Eists had felt they might depend for
the defeat OF the measure. other
southern states, seeing the hopeless
ness of their position, are likely to
follow the lead of Texas. Nine states.
one-fourth of the required number,
now have given their approval to the
amendment. 1t is no longer improb-
able that enough states will have rati-
fled to permit the women of the
United States to vote in the presiden-
tial election Of 1920, Georgia, whose
legislature. now in session, postponed
action until next year. may reconsider
in view OF the course taken by her
southern sister. Governors and legis-
Iators will scarcely be able to with
stand the urgent calls for extra ses-
sions which will be made by. the hosts

alive after tonight-the official date
of his execution.
Practically all the $4,000 members
OF the United Retail Liquor Dealers
association. it was reported. planned
to keep their saloons wide open tomor-
row. and thereafter until closed by le-
gal action. The liquor dealers, hotel
men and restaurant owners were to
hold independent meetings this after
noon at which legal counsel would be
sought and final preparations made
for combating war time prohibition!
: The consumers. whether oil John
died tonight or not. were prepared to
give wake that would go down in
history.
Cuts Off Last Hope.
Washington June so.-President
Wilson has decided he cannot legally
lift the wartime prohibition ban before
the country goes dry at midnight to-
night, but he expects to do so as soon
thereafter as his power has been
made clear by the completion of de-
mobilization
In cablegram, made public at the
White House, the president said he
was convinced after consultation with
his legal advisers that he had no au-
thority to act at this time.
when rehabilitation is terminat-
ca, ne continued, my power TO act
without congressional action will be
exercised"
The message expressed no opinion
as to the authority of the president
when he raises the ban to make, his
action applicable only to beer and
wine.
President Wilson's Statement.
Secretary Tumulty gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
IN tlfp
White House tonight made public the fol-
lowing cable from the president with refer
ence to wartime prohibition .
am convinced that the attorney gen.
eral is right In advising me that | have
no legal power at this time in the matter
of the ban liquor Under the act of
November. 1918. my power to take action
June 30. 1919. until the conclusion of the
present war and thereafter until the termf-
nation of rehabilitation, the date Of which
shall be determined and proclaimed by the
president. ii shall be unlawful etc"
This law. does not specify that the ban
shall be lifted with the signing of peace,
but with the termination of rehabilitation
beeii accomplished. My information from
the war department is that there are still
1000. 600 men in the service under the emer-
gency call. 1t is clear, therefore. that the
failure of congress to act upon the sugges-
tion contained in my message of May 20.
1919. asking for repeal of the act of
November n. 1918. So far as it applies to
wines and beer. makes 1t impossible to Gct
i'll this matter Mt this time.
When rehabilitation Is terminated my
power to act without congressional action
will be exercised.

Harno Member OF 1t.
Dean Albert Harno, of the WASH
burn law school, who resigned today
to accept pTofessorship at Kansas
university, was one of the college men
who applied for a union charter He
maintains that the present system or
administration at Washbufn is unfair
II candidly believe that under this
system the college cannot have
wholesome growth" he declared last
night. The strength of the college
lies primarily in it's faculty, with the
proper co-ordinated heads of depart
ments. Any college administration,
which regards its heads of depart
ments and faculty members as mere
/ irelings is building on false prem
ises"
The number of instructors who
have Joined the federation has not
vet been announced. 1t was stated
by a prominent member of the To-
peka Industrial Council today that a
number OF instructors are planning 60
join besides those who made applica-
ton for a charter.
Some of Fthe comments made by
noted educators on the unionizinge of
college professors when the University
of Illinois unionized follow:
DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, University
of Chicago: II don't care to discuss
the question. In fact, don't want to
take any notice of the matter"
DIR. Thomas F. Holgate, president
Northwestern university: 'I don t
see any harm in the college professors
organizing. If. as it is stated, the
union was formed to permit freedom
of expression by the professors, 1 can
readily see its use. OF course, pro-
fessors can abuse a union like any
other body of men, Conducted proper
ly, much good can come of it
G. F. Bovard. president of the Uni
versity of Southern California: Col
slege professors may be expected to
unionize, but it is not a good thing.
1T Is in accord with the trend of the
times, but it doesn't make for the bet
terment of our schools"
+ william T Foster. president of
Reed college, Portland. Ore: II like
to know that the college professors
are meeting or affiliating with labor
organizations. In fact. it is all right
for them to do anything that will
broaden their human sympathies."
