ALLEGED plot" WOULD
PREVENT CAMPAIGNING

Something OF a hornets nest has
been stirred up in democratic politi-
cal circles. particularly among lead
ers of the Southern Maryland coun-
ties, according to talk that emanates
from headquarters in Baltimore city.
This talk is to the effect that Cap
tain Thomas S. Klinger, the party's
candidate for Congress from the Fifth
Congressional district which COM
prises the Southern Maryland coun-
ties. and a few of the wards OF South
Baltimore, who is in the naval serv-
ice, being a member of the Coast
Guard, has been ordered to duty at
sea, thus depriving him of making a
campaign incident TO the November
election now less than two months
removed.
In this, the leaders are inclined to
the belief that plot" has been ar
ranged, and the name of Congressman
Sydney +. Mudd. Republican, who is
a candidate for reelection. is being
mentioned in connection with it.
Captain Klinger spent Is months
overseas during the war on escort
duty in the submarine zone between
Gibraltar and England, being on the
same run with the Tampa, sunk by a
submarine with all on board.
Being an observing and outstanding
young man he saw some things he
thought ought to be remedied, and he
knew the only way they could be
remedied was through Congressional
action. So when he came home he
had long talk with Secretary of the
Navy Daniels on the advisability of
his running for Congress from the
Fifth district.
Daniels Approved, They Say
The Coast Guard then was under
control of the Navy Department Sec
retary Daniels, according to Ossie
Klinger, the Captains father, encour-
aged Captain Klinger to make the
fight If he thought he could beat Mudd,
and to facilitate his campaign assign
ed him to duty in Philadelphia so
he could keep in close touch with the
district.
Captain Klinger went into the fight,
but soon afterward the Coast Guard
was transferred back to the Treasury
Department, and it was not long be-
fore he received an order signed by
Commodore w. f. Reynolds, COM
mandant of the Coast Guard, ordering
him to proceed to Boston to take tenn
porary command of the cutter Andros-
coggin and go to the Grand Banks,
off Newfoundland, and patrol those
waters for icebergs.
Klinger Sweeps Primaries
Klinger won hands down in the pri-
maries. He ran as 100 per cent. wet
candidate against Walter Dorsey,
Frank o. Smith, John Klemm and
John Riggles. He got more votes than
all of them put together. defeating
Dorsey, his closest competitor, by
more than 1000 votes. He carried the
Baltimore wards OF his district by
1908 plurality.
A few days later he was sent to
the Androscoggin again, but was
promised, his Democratic friends say,
an assignment to duty near his home,
so that he could make his campaign
for election. The Republicans, Of
course, did not want him home; they
preferred to have him out chasing the
elusive and frosty iceberg. But he
had thought, his father says, that even

The Navy Wage Adjustment Board
report, which was approved Saturday
by Secretary Daniels, grants a fat in
crease of per cent to $1,000 navy
yard workers throughout the country,
effective September Is, but a counter
measure will actually reduce the
wages of many of the skilled workers.
The award affects many workers at
the Naval Academy.
The joker is that the approved re-
ports put into effect a year round
Saturday half-holiday, without pay,
reducing by four hours the workers
week
The amount of money involved in
the increase, the number of each grade
of workers affected and the amount Of
their wages under the new ruling will
be announced today, !; is explained.
Secretary Daniels said, in discuss
ing the award, that he expected, the
payless Saturday half-holiday would
very nearly equalize the increase. He
added that this equalization would
likely remove the necessity, previously
expressed, of laying of number Of
workmen.
May Affect Per Diem Employees
Aside from the effect upon the navy
yard workers of the country. the re-
port may possibly be the basis Of
changes in the wage scales of the per
diem employees of Washington.

HOUSE BUILDING LEAGUES

1t might not be amiss for enter
prising citizens of other Oklahoma
cities TO emulate the example set by
Enid, and organize associations which
WILL conducted in "a regular business
manner, buy vacant lots in good COM
munities, and erect number OF mod
erately priced bungalows TO sell 10 the
wage-earners of the towns at reason-
able prices and on monthly payments.
II seems 10 us that the housing
problem might we'll be solved in this
manner, in many OF the towns where
u house shortage is now in evidence,
especially in towns like Ardmore,
where the influx of population has
been greater than the housing facili-

INCREASED PRODUCTION

Henry Ford is an optimist, phil
anthropist and, also, a business man.
To him belongs the honor of hay
ing been the first American producer
10 sound the death knell of high
priced flivvers. And SO loudly did
he sound It that even the silk shirts
and fiber hose heard the echo and
fell down and worshiped ut the shrine
of noimalcy.
To him may also belong the honor
of bringing about return Of normal
volume Of production from the hands
of normal men, turning out normal
days work in the normal number Of
hours, each hour loaded with the
normal number of minutes and each
minute primed with the normal total
ing of seconds.
News dispatches state Mr.. Ford
has materially increased the output
Of his rough-rider factory, with a
greatly reduced force which is work
ing five days week, as against the
six working days used up by the
force before the reduction came about.
There can be no argument used
in rebuttal of the assertion that an

artisan who is employed by the man
whose capital pays for the finished
product. Long working hours and
heavy working forces are not as es-
scntial as are uniform endeavor and
concentrated application upon the
part of those who make, who build,
who assemble the parts of raw
material into the manufactured
whole.
The man who deyotes his energies
to bringing about the greatest vol
ume of production, who puts his mind
on his work, who sees to it that
every minute Of his working hours is
given to efficiency, is the man who
is today doing his bit toward bring
ing about the return TO normal con-
ditions of which everyone is talking,
for which everyone is longing and
watching and waiting.
The man, be he an employer or
an employe. who gives his undivided,
honest, unselfish attention to the
business in hand, is the man who
will be a factor in the queting of
unsettled surroundings, in the resump-
tion m normal living conditions,
normal trade conditions and normal
working conditions.
Long hours and heavy overtime ac-
counts will not increase productions
(this has been proven) proportionate-
ly with shorter hours spent in more
intensive endeavor and better directed
effort.

How the public health work of the
American Red Cross in the Southwes-
tern Division has grown more rapidly
since JANUARY last than at any other
period, is shown by a chart which
has just teen drafted at Southwestern
Division headquarters, st. Louis.
The states of the division are Miss.
oryi, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas.
The chart shows that, whereas there
were but q nurses i'll the entire
division January /, the number is
now 1i0, with additional nurses be-
ing appointed as they can be Sc
cured.
The greatly increased number OF
public health nurses in the division
Is looked upon by Red Cross officials
as remarkable, because of the short
age of nurses which now exists. Many
Of the nurses who have been placed
in duty recently were secured through
campaign for student public health
nurses, which was carried by the
Red Cross and other agencies.
ltOW Ine NOTh mas grown III 'dNH
OF the states is shown by the chart,
as follows:
Texas, IL nurses on duty January J.,
55 now: Kansas, q on duty January l.,
80 now: Missouri, 3 on duty January
!, 20 now; Arkansas, on duty jan
uary /, 10 now; and Oklahoma, 4
on duty January l, now.
The work of the nurses Is the
principal part of the health work Of
the Red Cross in its peace-time pro-
gram. They make examinations of
school children, do follow-up work TO
eradicate defects that are found among
them, and do other kinds of health
work which present themselves.
The Red Cross plans also TO estab-
lish Red Cross health centers' through
out the division. The centers Will
serve as clearing houses Cor informa-
ton on health and are expected to
do great work in helping people
become well, and helping those who
are not i'll or suffering, to remain
thus.

WHY DO THEY STICK?
The Lawton Constitution

(The Lawton Constitution
continuous barrage OF propagan-
da, relating 10 the public the sad
story of down trodden, nistreated,
near-bankruptcy public utilities, all be-
cause the public has seen fit To at
tempt TO regulate them. has been
thrust at the people Of Lawton for
the past seven years. If the public
utility business Is so hazardous, so
badly mistreated by the designing
public, why do the companies and men
who own them continue TO stay in the
business? Why do they froth at the
mouth ut the least mention of pur-
chase by the city? Why do they go
to such lengths to curcumvent any
attempt at public ownership as for
instance in the well known Mangum
case? Why do they maintain al i'm
mense costs newspapers, lobbyists,
and general ''fixers" as u side issue
to the business?
The answer is obvious. The public
desirable, the most remunerative and
the most secure business in the aver,
age city that money could be invested
in. In practically every instance the
public utility has a complete monopoly
on the product that it sells. The pub
lie has no alternative, but 10 pur-
chase from the one concern or do
without. When a public utility is
established in city, under a fran
chse. it is virtually guaranteed n fired
return. The public utility business is
one of the best forms of investments.

are invested in utilities in Oklahoma,

1t is not the public utilities that

ter The local utilities organization
has Il Git at the least mention of mu-
nicipal ownership. The purchase OF

fair actual valuation of the plant in

a good paying investment, why should
the organization be opposed to pur-
chase by the city? If the city, after
purchase of the plants, did not want
TO keep them as a matter of public
policy, there arc business men in
Lawton, in whom the public has con
Gidence, and with whom the public
could live IN harmony, without taking
abuse and being robbed as in the past
who would purchase the plants at

Edith johnson, woman editorial and

to publish novel which will bear
on its title page the rather imperi-

to the women who read the book,

Of n family in such a way as to judge
him for his intrinsic value and worth,

to PROFOUND this question TO her

the woman who has never been so
unfortunate as TO corral man of
her own, who is willing and able 10
tell her welded sister how TO man

ii is the woman who never had a

married woman, whose husband does
no. smoke, chew or drink, who
knows all about the best manner in
which the one whose husband has all
these blemishes of character, should
go about reforming him and wash
ing his stains away.
