Let us make the Lincoln birthday banquet an occasion long

our duty in regaining control of the administrative affairs of our

fade away lik* an unclean dream ! In IHI8 the people will have

State Republicans
To Meet
Oklahoma City, Jan. 8.—Har-
mony is to prevail at the called
meeting of the Republican State
Comu.ittee January 18, accord-
ing to Fred. D. Bearly, chair-
man of the executive committee,
who issued the call this week.
One of the purposes of the
meetiug, Mr. Bearly says, is
the election of a secretary. E.
E. S qjs, Nowata, had bean de-
clared elected at a previous
meeting.
Arthur H. Geissler, the chair-
man, refused last night to com-
ment on the action taken by Mr.
Bearly.
The meeting was to have been
called for Monday, but more
time was needed to notify all
the members.
-Ve have uot had a full meet-
ing since the election," said Mr.
Bearly. "The legislature is in
session and no better time could
be found to meet. It will do the
Democrats good to have us with
t iem for a short time."
Jan. 8.—Chairman Geissler
yesterday supplemented the call
for a committee meeting Issued
by Mr. Bearly for Jan. 18, since
the irregular call did not men-
tion the time nor place.
Mr. Geissler, in order to make
the meeting regular, calls for a
meeting of tho republican state
committee at the Skirvin hotel,
at 10 a in , Jan. 18, 1917.

Washington, Dec. 18.—The Congres-
sional Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
'be inquiry into government regulation
*nd control of transportation, last
week decided to suspend Its hearings
su the subject and adjourned, subject
ro the call of the chairman, because of
tho pressure of other work before Con-
gre&s According to tho resolution ye-
tting 'he committee, it la required to
submit a report by January 8th uext
It i.i understood that before thai time
the committee will ask for an exten-
sion uf time and that the hearings vrlll
lto resumed at. n later date, when -some
> f tUosn who already have appeared
bfefuiv the oommlttee will be question
J fin ther and a great many othera
will be heard It Is probable, howev-
er, that the hearings will not be resum-
ed until after adjournment of Congress
•m March 4th. lo addition to regular
routine business the commerce com
mlitees of the two houses are charged
with tho iniportait duty of preparing
and i>resenting the legislation asked
for by President Wilson to make Im
possible a railroad strike wlthont pre
vious Investigation. This will leave
little or no time for tho consideration
of the general questions of railway
regulation.
Country Wants Something Dene.
Members of Congress and others
who ar interested In the inquiry un-
dertaken by the Newlands Committee
insist that there la no Intention of
abandoulug it
It seems doubtful, Indeed, if the
country would permit the matter to
be dropped if there were evidence of a
desire on tile -part «f Congress to do
ho. The nation-wide evidences of In
teiest evoked by the initiation of the
Newtauds inquiry show that the peo
pie of the country—shippers, consum
era and investors, as well as rallwaj
men themselves—are alive to the fact
that the railway situation is highly un
satisfactory and that steps must be
taken without unnecessary delay to
make It possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From reports received here it soemn
aa though almost every commercial or
ganlzation and business Interest in the
country were engaged in studying ti e
railroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate Inquiry
luto various phase* of the subject for
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies in every part
of the country have committees en-
gaged in study of tlio problem and
have indicated a desire to come here
and present their views. National or-
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber-
men, coal operators, wholesale aud re
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for tho unifica-
tion of the system of railway rcgula
tion. The National Industrial Tra®
League, speaking from the viewpoini
of shippers using the railways, han
indorsed exclusive federal regulation
providing it ia accomplished in such
way as to give full protection and
prompt adjustment in matters relating
to transportation within the state-
Many intaroato Studying Problem.
All these organisations repre. cnl prl
marlly the shippers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand in tire discussion Tti
investors of the nation, through theh
own associations and through commit-
tees representing tho savings banks and
other financial organlaations, aro pre
paring to show the necessity of improv-
ing railrcad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose money is invest
ed In railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
cerned In the improvement of exlstlag
conditio,is, arc planning to submit their
views through their executives, oper
ating officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far
reaching taferal regulation along lines
that will enable them to attract capUftl
aud to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and efficient handttng of
the country's transportation bna^u^s.
Main TroubU lo Too Many Master*.
Not all of these Interests aro in ac-
cord as to the remedies that should bo
adopted There seems to be a general
agreement however, that many of the
dUflcuWes which confront the railroads
and which ma&e It impossible for them
to meet tho requirements of the na-
tion's commerce promptly and satisfac-
torily arise from the haphazard aud
often conflicting measures of regulation
that have been adopted from time to
time by the federal government aud the
forty-eight states and tiiat what is
aeeded Is a well ordered, systematic
scheme of federal regulation that shall
cover the whole country aud mako it
possible for the railroads to provide the
exten&ioas and improved facilities so
badly needed, while at the same time
protecting fully til* public interests.
How Nature Protects Orchids.
Orchids ure the most skilled o£ all
plants In the art of simulation. They I
choose for imitution some insect, bird
or animal free from dunger. 8om - or-
chids imitate poisonous spiders. Tin*
fly orchid and the bee orchid are ex-
amples which imitate so skillfully tliut
trained scientists aro often at fault
in detecting the deception. These or-
chids resemble clusters o£ bees or flies
resting ou a dry twig.

cious of such generosity, declared: "I
