It must necessarily follow that
a further extension of the high-
way system means a still further
Increase In valuation ami u still
further In reuse in city revenues.
Surely there cannot be a voter who
does not desire the increase in
City revenue.
A Park system Is as essential
to any civilized form of municipal
government a-s a U lephone is nec-
essary to the oonduot of a well-
organlsed business. Parks make
for the health ami happiness of
the young and the old. they de-
velop the young and they -rive
rest and peace to the middle-aged
and the aged. Not everybody can
provide a big b.n k yard for the
children. Not everybody can pro-
vide band concerts for their im-
mediate families. Not evt rybody
can provide gymnasiums for the
development of the bodies of
the hoys and the girls.
What do you say when a vis-
itor com PS to town and ask.- to bo
shown the Cltj hall.' You take
him around n t Bide street up
an el. ator to the third floor of
a building in a rented room and
he finds the mayor if he wants
to sec the chief of the fire de-
partment or 'he chief of police
he has to go three or four blocks
to some other buildings. And so
it goes. Small town stuff all
along tho line. Such circumlo-
cution was all right when Tusa
had fifteen hundred or two thou-
sand people hut who wants that
kind or thing now except a tuttlo
Or a snail .'
Every citizen ought to h tm-
bued with the conviction that
today murks an era In the history
of Tulsa. Hither wo begin an-
other march forward toward a
greater city and a better citizen-
ship or we mark time for an In-
definite period of time if we do
not absolutely retrograde. It Is
ii to the people. The World has
done what it could. Finally tuo
morn you come to in examina-
tion of all the arguments you
cannot vote otherwise than Yis.

jthe Austro-Germ.tn advance toward
. Lemberg from ;iu west and north-!
! west and t light Berlin claims that
the Russians are retreating over their
frontier toward Tarnogrod. about four
nulls from tho Gallcian Dorder
This means an inw.sion of Russian
territory at a new point but accord-
ing to military observers here it may
spell ultimate advantage for the Bus- I
slans in that a general Russian re-1
itirement northward Into Poland would
divert General Linsingen's attempt to
crush tho Russian center ne ir Zu-
rawna which would effectively seer
the communications of tho Russian
army in Southeastern Oallcla and
BukOWlna. The military writers here
say that tho real danger "one from
the Russian st-an looint is in the Z.u-
rawna district and along the Dnlostsi
SwQOp Toward Capital.
According to Berlin the Austro-
(lerman forces have battered through
Nlemerow thirty miles northwest of
Lembl rg. and are advancing toward
Jaworow which is only twenty-five
miles to the west of the C.allclan cap-
ital. Three great masses of Austro-
Oermana thus far arc sweeping from
tho San toward tho capital city and
the prediction Is made that the de-
cisive battle. If one Is fought. Will
take place In the vicinity of Qrodek
where the British military observers
consider that the Russians should
benefit by the lake country.
The British newspapers though not
minimising the Importance of the
Austro-Oerman successes in OsJlcla
acclaim what is styled the Crand
I Mike Nicholas' elusive strategy in
shifting his front from north and
south to northwest ami southeast.
This maneuver it is asserted had de-
flected the Austro-Oerman Idow to
some extent and at the same time
denied to them a full test of strength.
Thus thi" Russian retreat is charac-
terized in London as strikingly par-
alleling the allies' retreat in the west
last fall which culminated In the al-
lies' victory on the Maine. The strug-
gle along the Dniester anil before
Lemberg which is considered here
must determine which side is the more
astute In the present maneuvers.
A series of desperate encounters is
described by the French war office
in that sector along the battle front
In Prance comprising the territory to
tho north of Arras-Alx-Noulette
Souchot Neuvllle St. Veast and other
towns which foi weeks past had
been the scene of fighting of a most
determined character.

For two "lays tho French report

and continuous. The French have
carried several lines of trenches on

their ground by what Is recorded us

The Germans brought eleven divisions-

a request for appropriate action.
The minister called at the depart-
ment and delivered to Becretary

sions of tho world postal convention

cautions be taken t'i protect Amer-

Opponents of Bonds Hope to Win by Stay-at-Home Vote
Merits of All Issues Admitted but Welfare of City Ignored in Peanut Political Play Against Present City Officials
NO TIME FOR SMALL POLITICS AS THE CITY ELECTION COMES NEXT SPRING WHEN ALL PACTIONS ('AN HAVE A CRACK WITHOUT IMPERILING CITY'S GROWTH
It is apparent to The World as It must be to
everyone who has considered the conditions that
there Is grave danger of the failure of all three of
the bond issues in today's election through the fail-
ure of taxpayers to vote.
The opponents of the bonds who although few
In number and practically none of them are opposed
to the bonds on the grounds that they are unneces-
sary hut have confined their opposition solely to an
attack on the present administration are relying
upon Iho absent rotefa to secure their defeat
couplet with political ami personal att.u k 111 no way
connected with the merits of the matter ut Issue.
Therefore. It behooves every qualified voter who
wants to see Tulsa maintain its present advancement
to be on the Job early today and see that his neigh-
bor also gets out and votes for the bonds.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if either
tho sewer city hall or park boulevard bonds fall
that there will not be an opportunity to vote upon
the question again In the near future as has been
erroneously Inferred by some of the opponents. In
some amended form.
If the sewer bonds fall to pass the city win have
to get along as best It can without the additional
sewers until some remote date and perhaps until
after the lack of them hss cost the city many times
the amount It would cost to construct them now
both In lives and property values.
The same thing also Is true of tho park boulevard
bunds. Right-of-way lliut liac bevu conditionally
donated win have t revert i tin- original owners
and property-holders who have made investments
on the promise that certain improvements would be
made will have to console themselves with the dis-
appointment of having made a bad deal on flimsy. IX
not false presentations and th real estate market
will languish accordingly and the building of homes
may reasonably be expeoted to languish propor-
tionately. Muny improvements In homo building and real
estate transactions will likely be knocked in the head
by the short sighted policy of defeating the boule-
vard bonds und muny a laboring man will walk the
streets in sorrow.
If the city hall bonds are defeated the munici-
pality will be compelled to continue paying rent for
inadequate and unrepresentative quarters when It
might Just as well have a decent and creditable city
hall for even less money than It is now paying out
In rent. And whether tho city hall Is built or not
something will have to be done about providing a
new city Jail or the city may be compelled to pay
damage some time for confining its prisoners In a
bssti Is that is unfit tor human habitation and has
been condemned by every representative of prlsor
conditions that has ever visited the city.
The plain facts are that each am! every one of
the purposes for which It Is proposed to Issuo bonds
are pressing necessities for which tho failure to
make proper provision at this time may and likely
will entail a far greater loss than the amount
proposed to bo expended and that too without hav-
ing the utilities that can be enjoyed if the bond
are voted.
The opposition to the bonds may be greatly
magnified and while it is true that In the main it
is Irresponsible and some of It Is lu no way Identified
with tho city either In property int. 'rests or citi-
zenship one of the principal mouthers not even
being a resident of tho city the fact remains that
It Is alwaya easier to "knock" something than It
la to do a constructive piece of town building and
unless the real substantial progressive citizen
awakes to the importance of the situation and goes
to the polls the bonds are liable not to carry The
surest way to beat the bonds Is not to vote and the
best way to knock Tulsa Is to (h feat the bonds. It
is up to the real citizens and taxpayers of Tulsa to
do their duty The indifferent and absentee voter Is
relied upon to defeat thi- bon is a line commentary
on representative governiueutl
