Win will not become apparent until
March 4. But the truth is Mr..
Harding is in earnest about reviv-
M the Panama Canal tolls contro-

,hips exempted from the payment
\ tolls and will press for that ex-
mption when he is inaugurated.
President Wilson found himself
ucfrbnted with the same question
yhen he took office in March, 1913.

f the Democratic congress in vOt-

England had to another inter-
oceanic canal in Nicaragua and the
understanding was that IL Britain

There has been much debate as to

International lawyers argued that
q course America, as the owner

right to do as she pleased about
tolls and that the discrimination
did not apply with respect to our
own ships. Other authorities ar
sued to the contrary. Senator Lodge
and Elihu Root, who also was in

fought to be repealed.

BIG JOB AHEAD
FOR NEW REGIME
AT WASHINGTON
Many Problems Will Face
Incoming Harding Ad-
ministration.

Washington, d. c., Nov. g.
Bringing a technical as well as
practical state OF peace and pay
ing the remainder of the cost Of
the war will be a big Job for the
new administration.
In addition to writing the peace
terms with Germany and Austria,
the new secretary of state must
frame a Russian and probably a
Mexican policy and propose to the
other powers President-elect Hard
ing's plan for an association of
nations"
The treasury department will
have to get the United States start
ed on the task of paying off the
rest OF the cost of the war, about
$14, 000,000,000.
Cash must be found to pay of
about $4,000. 100000 worth of Vic
tory notes in May, 1923. Between
now and then the total amount Of
government obligations of all kinds
maturing will total nearly $780,
100000. This means the govern
ment's annual tax bill must con-
tinue to total at least 81, ,0O0, 900 900
a year. Most of this now comes
from the excess profits tax law,
which business men are demanding
he repealed.
To complicate the problem of
putting down fixed charges of the
government. about IS per cent of
the $4,000, 100000 now collected an
nually is already pledged to pay
war charges. These charges in
clude annually about 100000, 900
for the maintenance OF the army
and navy. $350.O00,0OO for the war
risk bureau and war insurance,
hospitals and assistance for former
soldiers; $3.50, 100000 for Civil war
pensions, and $1.200.000,000 year
for interest and sinking fund
charges on the cost Of the great
war.
Some problems that will face
heads OF other government depart
ments follow:
Agriculture.
Farmers now threatening a
national strike because Of the low
prices paid for their product, mus,
be assisted and encouraged to in
crease production. The drift of
farmers from the land to the cities
must be halted.

USE PAINT
SAVE MONEY

To fail to put paint on your
woodwork and metal is like
leaving the door to the ice box
open. 1t is waste, extrava-
gance. Paint keeps wood
from decay. metal from rust.
Paint is also the hand
maiden to the Goddess of
Cleanliness. Dirt works into
an unpainted surface and
sticks. 1t slides on of a
painted surface like a sled
over ice. Its use makes for
sanitation and attractiveness.
Our Washington Informa-
ton Bureau has a bulletin on
how to mix paints, how to use
them. 1t is a household ne
cessity. 1t is free.

Character Building :
No. S-FOrtitude
John NJ. ANDERSON

We owe debt of lasting graf.
ltute to those noble souls, who
facing many dangers, have blazed
away to progress, reform and bet
ter things. The world can never
pay its debt to its men and
women of unyielding courage.
In the Bible, the names of such
men as Moses, Joshua, Nehemiah.
Elijah, David, John the Baptist
and Paul shine with immortal
l1stre because of the possession
in a high degree of this great
quality. God has always done
his work through brave men.
This trait of character also en-
riches our own national history
as /, is seen in the lives of Wash.
lngton, Adams, Henry, jackson.
Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland and
many others. These men stood
in the defense and service of their
country against all enemies, un-
daunted and unafraid.
Have then the moral courage
to seek and to speak the truth. to
be honest, to be just, to resist
temptation, to do your duty, and
the physical courage to endure
without wavering whatever such
a course brings to you. "Be sure
You are right, then 60 ahead"-
1nmoved, unmovable. Be brave.

Some Thoughts
to Think About

The streets of Tulsa are in the worst
condition they have been in for ten
years.
Charles H. Hubbard was picked"
for mayor and filed as a candidate
therefor by Bob Allison.
There are more negro solicitors
standing at the foot OF rOomlng house
stairways in the business section Of
Tulsa every night than has ever been
known in the history Of the city and
they ply their trade unmolested by
the city police.
Poker chips rattle within hearing dis
tance of the police station and yet
Mr. Wright insists that Hubbard is
the best mayor Tulsa ever had.
Mr.. Wright objects to 'hand-picked'
candidates yet he does not object to
the fact that Bob Allison picked
Hubbard for mayor and that boosters
to perpetuate "Bob's game have
picked" Wright as their angel to put
it over.
Is Mr.. Wright referring to the negro
Solicitors" standing at the bottom Of
stairways of the numerous rooming
houses in Tulsa when he mentions
Mayor Hubbard's sane and practi-
cal way" of bringing about moral
uplift?"
