THE DEMAND ron HIGHER WAGES

Those who are seeking to force higher
wage scale at this time are simply trying the
patience Of the public beyond the point OF en-
durancc and deliberately committing Industrial
suicide
Whatever excuse there may have been In tho
past for Industrial disturbances In order to Sc
cure higher wages. that excuse does not exist
now. From numerous quarters comes the ad-
vice to those employed, 'If you have job
hold IT, Already tho supply OF labor in many
vocations Is In excess OF the demand"
Unions, sezing on the present opportunity
to make demands for higher wages, arc delib-
oratey going out to arouse adverse public
sentiment and force employers already well
nigh desperate into an attitude of doggcd hos
tility to organized labor Itself We know of
no industry vocation that can in common
justice stand an increase In the wage scale un-

Barometer of Public Opinion


Editor World: II ig with both sorrow and
chagrin that have noticed In this column twice
whore respectable and pious ladies have raised
protest against the teaching OF dancing in
the Y. w. G. a. Some time ago there was also
a protest against dancing In the public schools.
The queer part OF the situation Is that both OF
the protcstants take the position that dancing
,s an acknowledged cvu and inconsistent with
Christianity and should be left for the goddess
and worldly.
1t is surprising that such superstition should
exist at this enlightened day and that a preju-
dice without "A scintilla Of justification from the
Holy Book should obtain credence and be held
as "A virtue. II has been a long time since law
and custom declared 1t "A sin for a man to kiss

conceived that whatever was pleasant or beau

counter protest against this mistaken piety.

that are injurious to both body and soul-but
everything that Is given for our benefit can

catures Of dancing which we know as jazz, rag
time and the like cannot be chHtged against

that it ~ used a vehicle OF evil by the sem
sual-mindcd We might as well kill off all

HENRIETTA. Oct. According
to the information received from
county treasurer J. w. Baker. the
city OF Henryetta is a tax delinquent
for the past nine years on the pro-
pcrty on which the imposing new
$4,000 cit yhall is located. and un-
less the sum OF s466.77 is forth
coming Immediately the property to-
gethcr with the municipal building,
may be seized and sold under the
sherffs hammer to satisfy the past
tax Indebtedness. The statement
from the county treasurer shows
that no sewer tax had ever been
paid, and that the last tax paid on
the city hall property was in 1911.

.MY FELLOW COuNTRYMIiNn

Thus Woodrow Wilson addresses the AmerI-
people he launches himself into the
campaign in the vain hope OF stemming the tide
which has unmistakably set against him and his
Machiavelian conception, the league OF nations
"The chief question that Is put to YOU"
says the president lis, OF course this; DO
you want your Country's honor indicated
and the treaty OF Versailles ratifed?"
Had the president been as meuculousy care
ful in correctly stating the question he
usually Is In the selection of dctation, he would
have used the alternative conjunction "or" for
the coordinating conjunction "and," permitting
the question to read, "Do you want the countrys
honor vindicated or the treaty OF Vervailles
ratfied?"
That. we submit. accurately states the prop
ositon, for the honor OF the country does not
and cannot run with the treaty.
But the president stated the question as suited
his purpose best and his entire argument is
that the honor OF the nation be not sulliod by
rejection Of those things which he alone
pledged to the other nations of the world,
Inevitably we turn to his own writings to
find an explanation Of this otherwise inexplic-
able philosophy, and we discover In "Cougres-
slonal Government" C9O7 edition), by woodrow
wilson written almost decade before his ole
walton TO the chief maslstracy. this amazing
statements
THE president really has no voice at all
in the conclusions OF the senate with refer

reference to any Of the matters upon which
he cousults it, His only power Of COM

ate lies in his initiative in negotiou
