lining the campaigns, boys who were good
chaps" were put in charge of affairs and the
result was given to the public when the votes
were tailed and the totals east up after the
ballots had all been polled on election day;
Immaturity of judgment such as has not
been shown by the older heads, in the Okla
homa house of representatives, has all but
wrecked the hopes of the Republicans for con-
tinued success in this state, while the mature
Republicans of the senate have battled, vainly,
to bring order out of the chaos which the
young man in politics" has wrought.
Mr. Harding, man of mature years and
broad experience, as the leader of the nation s
Republican party, has promised much. He has,
we believe, promised far more than he can
hope to accomplish, but aided by men like Lodge
and Hughes and Cannon, with the business
affairs of the nation reverting to the old
masters of finance he will bring about much
toward the coming of the ultimate normalcy
he promised to give the American people.
Understand, we would not seek to detract
one jot or title from the greatness of the young
men in the affairs of the country; We know
that the bright mind OF youth is invaluable and
that youths virility is needed to season the
0rotn OF success. but, we need, also, the
steadying hand of the man of mature years

service man. He donned his country's uni
form and answered the call when war was de-
cared against Germany. He has, therefore, as
little use as anyone for the real Stacker, for
the man who hid behind technicalities and let
his o-Germanism rule. But he is fair man
and would not run the chance of publishing
the name as a Stacker, of some man who did
as much as he could for his country
We fully coincide with Captain Meyers in
this. We know that the war department,
through whose fault we do not know, has made
an awful hlunder in the preparation of the
Stacker list and until that blunder has been
corrected, we believe that the newspapers of
the country should not publish the names found
in the list sent out from headquarters

THE "SLACKER" LIST

We note an editorial in the McAlester News
Capital, appropos the publishing by the news
papers of the country, in which we heartily
concur.
In his editorial Captain Meyers, of the
NewsCapital, voices the feelings of every true
American writer who believes that the names
of the towards who deliberately avoided going
to the front in defense of their country's flag
and their country's honor should be made
public should be published in order that they
may become by-words with every God-fearing,
country-loving man and woman.
But he also sounds the slogan of safety
first in avoiding the danger of doing harm
to the innocent, when he states that the publi-
cation of the names as they are being sent out
by the war department. is a dangerous thing
for the reason that many, very many fatal in
acuracies are found in the list.
1t is one thing to publish the name of the
reptile who was real Stacker, and another
to blacken the name of some good man who
offered his all on the altar of his country, only
to have the lists at the war department show
him classed with the draft dodgers and German
sympathizers.
! Unfortunately governmental red tape ha,
been wound about many names of men wht
were in the service, men who went over tn,
top and men who made the supreme sacrifice
In course of time, perhaps, these errors will b,
corrected and the names of those patriotic mel
will be taken from the roll of dishonor ant
emblazoned upon the roll of honor, where the!
belong. But the publication of such names
enormously classed as slackers, will constitute
wrong which can never be righted, wroni
which will cast an odium that time canno
eradicate.

WHERE DID THE MONEY co?

Railway operators, courting favor with the
general public and presumng on the lack of
intelligence of the newspaper men OF the coun-
try, are sending out tons of communications"
to the editors of the United States, each COM
munication accompanied with released on
receipt" notice.
The communications" are bits of we'll
written propaganda, each one OF which is
separate abortive endeavor to show where
the money went" during the federal control
of railways, and where it is going today.
The railways of the United States are max
ing preconcerted effort to reduce the wages
of all employees. (The fellows who hold down
the high-price position and who draw salaries"
in place OF wages" are not affected The
heads of the association of railway operators
are we'll aware that they must have public
sentiment with them, that they must wear the
patent leather pump, to conceal the cloven hoof.
They know that public sentiment favors reduc-
tion in costs, and they argue that the reduc-
tion in wages paid employees will appeal to Mr..
Jones, that long-suffering animal who pays
the freight.
With this end in view the free publicity
bureaus of the railway operators are giving the
public to understand, through inuendo that
there is possibility of freight and passenger
tariff reductions if there is first, reduction
in wages paid
Mr.. Shipper and Mr.. Traveller are both of
I the opinion that wages are too high. And the
same gentlemen are of the opinion that freight
and passenger rates are away up yonder too
high.
Mr.. Shipper and Mr.. Traveller are also of
the opinion that there is too much water in the
ri to0 of
same gentlemen feel that some of the big sal
aries might well be reduced before any more
chopping off in the wage lines may be DONE
Mr.. Shipper and the other chap, also enter
tain the opinion that the fellow who seeks
equity should come before the bar of justice
with clean hands He thinks that it is but
right and proper that the public be given
something tangible to show that there will be
reduction in freight rates, in passenger rates,
and that the fifty per cent surtax, not one
penny of which goes to the sleeping and parlor
company, might be Topped off the Pullman
rates, along with the Topping off of some of
the wages paid the men in the operating de-
partments.
Mr.. Traveller thinks that it would not be
amiss for some of the chaps who sit in leather
cushioned chairs and enjoy the cooling breezes
of the electric fans in summer the warmth of
the well-heated offices in winter, to recon-
mend a reduction of few thousand dollars
each, in their own salaries, before asking the
public to concur in reduction, which would
bring their wages below the safety mark
the high cost of living considered-of the mer
who sit at the throttle and pull the trains OF
the conductors who have charge of the trains
the men in whose hands the safety of the
travelling public is actually entrusted the mer
who are actually responsible and who shoulc
draw pay commensurate with that responsi
bility.

MAKE 1T PROPORTIONATE

Press dispatches carry the news of the re-
duction by the building trades association of
Oklahoma City, in wages paid skilled workers,
of an approximate average of So per day.
The decline in the prices of material and a
falling off, despite this decline in building
activities, are assigned as the, reason for this
wage reduction
Existing conditions always regulate the
scale of wages paid for labor, both skilled and
unskilled. Increased production means more
money paid to the worker who brings about
the production and to the man whose capital
is used in converting the raw material into the
finished product. A falling off of production,
means a falling off of the amounts paid for
every different kind of manual work. A tight
ening of money means a lessening of business
activity, a decrease in expenditures for i'm
provements and an accompanying decrease in
expenditures for labor.
But the rule of proportion should be applied
in the, cutting of the wage-scae paid to those
who toll in the building trades, as well as in
every other line of endeavor
The carpenter, the brick mason, the plasterer
the lather, if forced 70 accept fewer number
of dollars for each days work, should be enabled
to purchase an increased supply of life's neces-
sites with those decreased dollars. His earning
power should not be automatically lessened
unless the purchasing power of his dollars is
automatically increased.
If the man who lays the bricks and the
man who planes the board and the man who
plasters the walls and the man who paints and
frescoes are each to receive an average of SO
less per day for his work. then the landlord
should be called upon to lower his rents, the
| 10 L
to drop below the level of extortion, the coat
and pants carpenter to come down off the high
horse and the shoeman to remember that hides
are below cost of production, the produce dealer
to bear in mind that bens are working over
hours without any overtime while the cows
are giving artificial butter at a reduced rate
1t might also be well that something like a
precOncerted effort to take FORM something
which may be calculated to bring about re-
duction in freight and passenger rates, while
a visit by the price-reduction committee, tc
the restaurant-keeper might be well advised
provided that committee might be ablsto pur
suade the owner of the food emporium TO think
in terms of less than seven dollars pound fol-
his broed shoe soles and watered-stock pota
toes.
We all believe that Mr.. Harding, as the chie1
executive of the American people, is doing ant
will continue to do all in his power to bring
about such a readiustment of affairs that
state Of normally will be found possible, bu
we cannot believe that this proper readjustmen
will be possible as long as the transportation
companies are permitted to charge highwa,
robbery prices for their services, while th
owner of rental properties collect tolls from
the unfortunate in sums which would maxi
