Advocates Social Centers.
Declaring that commission rorm oi
government without the retail of of-
ficers Is a farce and that fn ...all
and the Initiative and referen-
dum are handicapped without some
medium for the people getting togeth-
er to discuss their common Interests
CharU's W. Holman of Dallas In
speaking before Oklahoma club wo-
men Thursday afternoon advanced
the "social center" as the most per-
fect instrument yet found Tor democ-
racy. He defined a social center as a com-
munity club bouse. He showed that
the one building In which everybody
has ownership Is the school bulldlng-
He then took up the conditions of
small towns ps might be found by a
social engineer and explained how
the various social Interests of a town
might be brought into harmony nd
have their activities focused for the
common aim of a higher community
life.
"The plan Is a simple one" said Mr.
Holman. 'it merely consists In form-
ing a social clearing house by the elec-
tion of a central committee composed
of delegates form the different socie-
ties and organizations. The central
commute can select an active exe-
cutive committee. The purpose of
this committee will be to so direct the
social forces of a town that there will
be no conflict only co-operation."
The speaker alo emphasised the
fact thiit the aorlnl center fla Wmst
not be conflicted with any uplift
movement. It is a thing for all the
people and concerns Itself not with
one clans helping another but with
all people knowing that there Is some
thing worth while for them In get-
ting together.
Mr. Holman is associate editor of
Farm and Ranch and secretary of the
Southwestern Social Center confer
once. He was a speaker on the pro-
gram of the Nations ISocial and Civ-
ic Center Conference meeting in Mad-
ison Wis. Oct 22 -IS.

Every seat in the Methodist church
was filled and many people stood In
the rear during the recital presented

Federation Thursday evening and the

dividuals apjiearing in it but also
to the progress of Oklahoma In this
line of art.

ed by the Treble Clef club of Oklaho-
ma under the direction of Prof. C. M.
Ill ss. Denza s "Garden of Roses" a

Telegram by United Press.
Washington Nov. 10. A great im-
petus was given to the movement to
abolish the commerce court today by
Representative Simms of Tennessee
following the action of that court in
reversing the interstate commerce
commission setting aside the result
of ten years work by western cities
to gain reductions in railroad rates.
The repeated action of the court in
nullifying the work of the interstate
commerce commission will probably
end in the abolishment of the former
at this session of congress.
The present case concerns Spokane
Salt Lake City and Reno in obtain-
ing lower freight rates.
