long war. and ended it quickly with
the result that many things bought

had prepared for short war and

too great?
"Theer are some things which

The Republican Congress
In speaking of the high. cost OF
living the Republicans have chosen
a dangerous topic. For over one and
. one-half years President Wilson has
urged a Republican controlled con-
sress to take legislative measures
most effective in controlling and
/ bringing down the high cost Of living
He then told them that what could
be done in that respect should be
! done quickly He advised them Of
some appropriate methods of proceed
ure. He asked them TO extend the
| length Of operations and powers of
control of the food control board
which operated during the war
He wanted the life of the sugar
control board extended so that the
| 1919 crop of Cuban sugar could be
purchased by them and distributed
/ by them.
The Life 81 the Sugar Board
But what has the Republican con-
gress done in answer 10 his pleas?
They have never passed any legisla-
/ finn n raJitNn ha hioh 0f lv-
ing. Yes, the Republicans tell us
that they did extend the life of the
sugar board True. But when did
they do II? They decided to lengthen
the life of the sugar board after
the 1919 Cuban sugar had been placed
on the open market and the board
could not save anything by purch-
asing 1t then. Neither was the pow
ers of distribution given to the board.
THE action or the Republican
congress in this respect is very sim
liar to trying to save mans life
after he is dead.
For Freedom Of the Oppressed
In France today beneath poppy
covered fields, lie thousands Of Our
boz who died, not for the purpose
of protecting our commerce and In
dependence on the high seas (for
which many Of our boys have died)
but to obtain and secure the freedom
of the oppressed people Of the earth
to keep the women of the world free
from pollution OF corrupt government.
THE souls Of these martyrs will
not rest. until we enter the League
of Nations. We are going to have e
League Of Nations. The people OF
the United States will speak in No
vember.
Even the Republicans planned to
have the League Of Nations.
Nothing Wrong With League Of
Nations
I'VE cannot afford to stay out Of
a League of Nations that has mem
bership of 39 countries, and that is
functioning. If there was anything
wrong with the League of Nations,
SO Of the civilized nations Of the
world would not have entered into it.
They would have found 1t out. For
we must admit that even though we
might have most Of the brainy men
of the world within the bounds of the
United States, nevertheless, there are
surely some Of the most educated
and intelligent men of the world
among the peoples of the 80 nations
who have entered the league? Be-
sides these SO nations Root, Taft, and
others have discovered that II is the
greatest union Of nations that could
ever have been devised
We will not yield such wonderful
principles 10 any pious political party"
Mrs, Walcott made the closing re-
marks of the meeting. These wo-
men," she said, have been sent to
Ardmore as an experiment. State
headquarters have informed us that
II they are a success here, they will
be sent TO the larger cities of south
ern Oklahoma. Are they a success?"
The answer was rising and unani-
nous vote, and round after round of
applause that lasted for several min
