READ FEM AND WEEP!

Contrary to what Senator Jones. thinks, the farmers of the country pretty unanimously, so far as can be determined from their letters, their speeches, their newspapers and their rganizations, think that the Ship Subsidy will be of very little benefit to them, of very great benefit to an other very limited class and a source of vast waste of public money.
 But of course Senator Jones and a lot of others do not think the farm CTS know anything about such large and important matter. They are to feed the pigs' and let MT. Lasker, an advertising expert, tell them via Senator Jonds, who has just confess ed he knows little about shipping or the results of this bill, just how little the farmers do know and how much the ship subsidy will benefit them.
 That is, MT. Jones would have the farmer infants sit still while the ship doctor holds their noses and pours cause it is "good for them."t Strange ly enough this attitude of mind to- ward the intelligence of the farmers does not convince the farmers at all, either that they are infants in mind, intelligence or business or political ability. Senator Jones is getting into MT. Lasker's class as a blundering leader of his cause.-T. C. Atkeson, of the National Grange

 President Harding has again nom mated Pierce Butler for the Supreme Court, and his nomination is again before the Senate for confirmation.
 What public service has Pierce Butler rendered? Whom has he served? Whom will he serve?
 Why was Pierce Butler selected to be a justice of that court which has become the most autocratic power in the world-a power that can nullify an act of Congress; a power whose decisions no other authority can overthrow ?-W ashington Herald.

D. u. MEDICAL DEAN
RANKS IN RESEARCH

Dean L. A. Turley of the medical
school of the University of Oklahoma
is attracting national attention in
his researches of the pathology of
the kidney. At Harvard Universi-
ty medical school there rests in the
museum a wax model of the kidney
tubule constructed by him from mi
croscopic section made on a scale of
40 feet length. There is not another
such model in the United States.
Dean Turley is rapidly attaining the
reputation of leading clinical and
consulting pathologist in the south
west. At present in the University
Hospital laboratories he is pursuing
valuable studies on the early detec-
tion of cancer, and diseases of the
kidney, the published results of which
have taken him before the leading
medical associations both in Chica-
20 and Tulane. Dean Turley says
that the future progress of the medi-
cal school in Oklahoma hinges on the
consolidation of the entire medical
school in Oklahoma City In connec-
ton with the University Hospital and
the clinical facilities of the city. He
estimates that a legislative appro-
priation of $500,000.00 will erect and
equip splendid administrative
building in connection with the hos
pital already in operation, and nurs-
es training home and afford facili-
ties for all class work in the -four
years of professional medicine as
opposed to the twin-city proposition
between Norman and Oklahoma Cit!
as now exists. Last wear the elm
les in Oklahoma City handled 1900
out patient cases.

GOVERNOR ELECT URGES
SUPPORT OF SEAL SALE
Mayor J. c. Walton Leads Health
Parade in Oklahoma City.

Mayor j. c. Walton, of Oklahoma
City Governor-elect of the state,
Saturday lead the health parade
which opened the Fifteenth Annual
Seal Sale for Oklahoma City.
In accepting the invitation to lead
the parade the Mayor says, This to
my mind is a most unique and satis-
factory way of calling attention to
the prime Importance of paying more
attention to public health-particu-
larly child health.
Although the tuberculosis death
rate has been cut more than half
since the inception Of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign, yet the annual loss
of 10000 people from a disease
which is preventable and durable
proves the end of the road is not
yet in sight-that there must be no
turning back until the plague is
wiped out altogether.
Not only tuberculosis but those
other diseases which in themselves
are a menace and which help to in
crease the ravages of tuberculosis
must be eradicated. It can be done
in only one way-by education of the
public in all the rules of heslth.
To show my official endorsement
of the parade and movement which
should be participated in by every
representative civic group in oul
community, cheerfully agree t.
ride at its head.
With best wishes for the entire
success of the Seal Sale campaign
Sincerely yours,
l. T.. WALTON
