A CONSTABULARY

The sending OF state troops 70 MadH during the
purely local troubles occurring ;hsre in connection
with the alleged stealing OF sa:ouobe; is the best
argument we know Of for STATE constabulary.
The Ardmoreite has been advocating the creation
OF state constabulary for some time Others have
been doing the same thing, and it is generally un-
derstood that there IS decidedly favorable feeling
over the state for such organization. Our own
Senator Csrloes Is going 10 introduce bill in the
next legislature looking 70 this organization.
With state cons:abulary in Oklahoma such oc
casions as & local uprising or trouble would mean
the sending Of three four ofcres there-,hat would
be enough /, would not be necessary TO 90 to the
expense OF maintaining guard troop on the scene.
The expense and attendant publicity would he decid-
sdy decreased.

HAZING.

! Brutal hazing was broken up at the University Of
! Virginia BY Congressman Charles d. Carter OF Ard.
more few years ago, and Senator Owen OF Okla.
I fhoma has had hand in what may result in putting
stop to brutal practices at the naval academy.
An Oklahoma boy, fourth-classman at the acad-
eny, has resigned, following the investigation OF his
Charges OF severe treatment by upper classmen.
Senator Owen wrote to the president bitterly
scoring the hazing tactics He stated in his letter
''hat at least twelve young had withdrawn from
, the institution.
/ He further signifed his intention OF introducing
resolution in the senate calling for full congres
sional investigation.
Congrsss,' he said has tried to put stop 10
this, but the men who guilty Of hazng have
established what is regarded as the code OF honor
in Annapolis BY which they shield their criminal
conduct the code being that no mdshipman must
tell on another when be is subjected to ill treatment
by another This acts shield for the brutes who
take advantage Of the seniority to browbeat harrass
and nake miserable the new boys who come to the
naval academy"
Since the president received this letter he has
approved the court martial sentences expelling two
upper classmen tor their part in the hazings Other
cases await final action.
These scaTnps who band themselves together in
prosecuting new bog are not entitled to the pro-
lection which they appeal for by reminding the boy
OF his honor when an investigation comes around
The people al over the country, and especially
the newspapers ought to get behind congress and
put stop to hazing at the military and naval acad.
ennies An Oklahoma boy was drowned at Annapolis
TWO or three years ago when hazing party had him
J in charge.
There is more excuse for complaint about such
tactics at these academies than at college or uni
~rsity. II one college has bad reputation in this
way there are others boy can go to, but there is
only one naval academy and one West Point.
When it comes 10 educating boy for these
branches OF the government service, there is no

He fed this horse gilded oats from an
ivory manger in marble stable, and
allowed him to drink only the most de.
licious wines. Irritatus had palace,

ed this favorite steed a consul or hon

Fine TO read about. But this luxury
was supported by human slavery. So is

Commission Cuts Rates
For Transfer of Baggage
Zone System With $I Base Is
Expected to Save Travellers
$4,000 This Summer

The Public Service Commission issued
an order yesterday reducing the rates
for transferring baggage in New York
City which it is estimated will save the
travelling public about $4,000 this sum
mer. The lower rates are effective
against the New York Transfer Com
pany and the Westcott Express Com.
pany, firms doing most Of the business
from the railroad terminals. The order
was the result Of series of hearings
on the rate matter.
1t was brought out at the hearings
that fat rate existed for the entire
city, beginning with $1.25 FOR trunk
and 30 cents, for handbag from the
Grand Central and Pennsylvania termi-
nails to 150th Street. and from that
point on and for Brooklyn and Staten
Island the rate was between Sl.d0 to
Sl.65 for trunks and s. for handbags
E. Meredith Langstaff, assistant coun-
sci 20 the commission, drew up plan
dividing the city into twenty three
zones with base rate Of 81 for trunks
and rs cents for handbags for each
zone and Is to 20 cents additional for
each zone through which the baggage
has to pass. Under this system the
traveller who has been paying the
maximum rate for short haul re-.
ceives the minimum rate.
If the present scheme of coming pro-
vided for in the order proves success
thAre will be further reduction of
rates in the fall, according to Mr.
Langstah'. The order, which was unani-
mously adopted by the commission

that President Harding and his Cabi-

State Industrial Relations Court ex-
tending The present wage agreement
Tor thirty days and instructing the
miners to stay at work pending a new
agreement. The court itself is split
on the policy which should be pursued
with Presiding Judge W. L. Huggins
dissenting fHom the thirty day order.
Judge huggins was not invited to
take part in a conference on strike
plans called By Governor Henry J.
Allen, in which the attitude of the state
toward the walk-out was considered. 1t
was decided that the state would take
no hand in the wage controversy al
present, and it was said afterward that
there was small possibility that the
Governor would move to take over the
mines Immediately.
Governor Assures Supply
Governor Allen in a statement indi
Gated that he was prepared to seize
the mines In the event of emergency
and that the public would be assured
of an adequate supply Of fuel. 1t was
pointed out before the Industrial Court
yesterday that at present there is a
great surplus of coal with every avail
able car loaded and hundreds of them
still standing at the mines.
Troops will be sent into the mine
fields only in the event Of disorders
or future decision by the Governol
to attempt state operation of the pits
Reports from the coal regions indicate
there is no likelihood of disorders
The operators are still hoping the
miners will accept their proposal fol
the negotiation OF separate wage
agreement, but Governor Allen admit
