tion commission at the state house
here. More than hundred representa-
tives of various shipping interests
were present.
At the outset of the hearing Elmer
L. Fulton, assistant TO the attorney
general, made a motion for continu-
ance until October, saying the at
torney generals department had not
had an opportunity to examine the
case or prepare a protest in case the
application seems TO be without proper
foundation. 1t is expected that
ruling on the motion might be made
later in the day following a con
ference of commission members. 1t
might be entered in the records by
the railroads and shippers.
Representatives of shipping interests
expressed the belief that a ruling
against the increased rates might re-
suit in a loss of jurisdiction on the
part Of the corporation commission
and resultant difficulty in the settle
ment of future intra-state rate mat
ters.

Oklahoma Traffic association, cited

Way dW
London. Aug. 24.-Great Britain and
Italy will refuse recognition to the
Russian soviet government. if it does
not withdraw its demand. presented
as part Of the peace terms at AIinsk.
for a proletariat army in Poland.
This has been decided upon by Pre-
miers Lloyl George and Giolitti of
Great Britain and Italy, who have
been meeting since Sunday at Lucerne,
Switzerland.
A statement given to the press in
that city, by the two premiers, de-
clared they had resolved to defer
resumption of diplomatic relations
with the Moscow government until it
withdrew what is described as this
sinister proposal" 1t is said that
negotiations of any kind with a gov
ernment (which so lightly treats its
worG, become difficult" If not i'm
possible"
IL is understood here that a virtual
ultmatum has been sent to Moscow
by the two premiers, whose decision
relative to recognition of the boil
sheviki government is viewed as APP
proval of the stand made against that
step by Premier ATillerand of France.
The promiers indicated the allies
would secure TO Fcland the use OF
the corridor south of Danzig, and
would, if necessary, use troops TO
carry their plans in this region.

NISIONARIES

The poet builds visions male out of
the air
And. castles that Fly upon wings,
But whether humanity finds they
are fair
Or SCOTS them as frivolous things,
And whether men look at the mar
vels unfurled
As mad or as practical schemes,
There's never a doubt in the mind Of
the world
That the bard is sincere in his
dreams.
But when there's a dreamer in bust
ness, who builds
His visions in tangible form,
Who uses real gold for the domes
that he gilds,
Whose castles will stand against
storm.
Whose service is worked into iron
and stone;
The faith Of the world becomes
dim
And the watchers cry out in a cyni-
cal tone.
Say, what is there in it for him ?"
Yet the dreamer whose fancies are
wrough into deeds
Has fashioned vast magic on
earth,
And conquered the wastes for hu-
manity's needs
Brought comfort and beatty from
ueartn:
Have faith, unbelievers, bota dream
ers are true,
Roth poets at heart are the same,
Both driven by Joy in the work that
they do
And touched by similar flame.

I have met enough women that think know

For woman to charm the men is of her most
important God given missions SO that II she

that. No doubt exists In my mind but that Eve
blamed Adam for their expulsion from the

~ NOT Tue LEAGUE, WHAT

From the moment the league was presented
10 the senate for action opponents OF Il have
been asked what they had TO propose 70 take tho
place Of tho league.
The question has always been importlnent
ana Illogical. one IL ut liberty to reject a pro-
posal without offering n substitute. rarli-
rnontnry law does not require that a motion or
resolution can only be killed by an alternative
motion or resolution. II may be merely voted
down. or laid on the table" or stricken from
the calendar" It is true It may bo rendered
more acceptable by amendment or It may he
displaced by a substitute But there Is no hard
and fast requirement on the point
However. the proponents Of the League cove.
nnnt offering 81 ns a cure all for war, gained
hearing out OF all proportion to tho morlts OF
their motion. and entirely too large a num-
bcr OF good citizens permitted themselves TO he
influenced by their insstonoc that substitute
be offered by those who opposed their motion
This Senator Harding did do In his splendid
speech last Saturday And the fine manner Of
his doing H. tho ability with which he de-
molishod the whole structure OF sophstry 80
stfully built up by the Wilson-Cox lnternA-
tionniists. has inspired the country with
thuslasm.
In that speech the republican nominee made
some points very clear:
T. Tho republican candidate opposoa ut
terly the league covenant offered.
2. The republican candidate commits
himself and party to an amplfied Hague
tribunal before which all nations OF tho
earth may (but not must) take their jus
uciablo quewlOns for adjudication.
o. Tho league Of nations has proven Its
impotoncy ana has been abandoned by the
very nations which have ratified It.
T. A separate peace with Germany IS not
necessary and is no part Of the republican
plans.
b. The republican candidate pledges him
self to protect the rights, personal and
property, Of an American citizen in any
part Of the world.
Thus. the republican party stands pledged
peoples without seokng to force Its viows on
any and without sacrificing one iota Of it's sov-
oregnty or full liberty OF action And It stands
pledged to protect It's own nationals In their
Just rights In other words American ma
uonasm will mean something. The American
viii not be compelled to disown his own country
and seek safety under alien flag.
Those who have been abroad during the last
seven and "A half years, In Mexico and else
whore, realize tho Importance OF this
declaration. The Harding speech Of acceptance

The proponents of the Wilson league have
their answer.

A dispatch from Washington says
President Wilson IL considering a
call for congress to meet in special
session to authorize sending OF
troops TO help Poland fight Russia.
or to take other measures to save
the republic that was set up by the
covenant Wilson agreed to with al
lies. one Of his ideas is to get
moral support declared by congress,
IL troops be not supplied. Another
ts to lend money to Poland. And
also to call the league of nations
OF which We are not mem mber--to
hold meeting to discuss Poland re-
lief measures. At present the
league does not seem to be doing
anything to keep pledges to Poland.
though the war council of the allies,
on behalf Of England and France
especially, is preparing to help in
several ways short OF sending forces
to fight.
Any one of the plans Of Wilson
might be agreed to by the people OF
this country when satisfied that they
should act.
But praise be! Neither Wilson nor
the league OF nations can call Amer
lean troops into new European war
TO help protect the integrity Of Polish
territory or Of any other land over
seas without We are willing and con-
sent to assume such task.
Nothing but the refusal OF the
senate TO approve of the Wilson
covenant left the people free To pur.
sue their own course according n
national conscience and ability
