WORK FOR THE SIX SANATORIA
TIIF. way to do a tiling is to do it. Tuberculosis
can Ik- conquered. Talk never will conquer it.
Declaring war ;it;aini il and carrying on t ho
war to final victory is the tiling to do. Immediate
legislation will le urged this month hy the Oklahoma
Tuberculosis Association why not use the term
anti-tuberculosis by the way? for the creation of
six or more district sanatoria to be placed in as many
different parts of the state. It is up to you to urge
that this legislation be passed.
Estimates show thai the-e are in Oklahoma be
tween .i'I.Doi) ami '101)11(1 -:i.ts ;it.;ve tuberculosis
and that more than .1.1 Mil) persons died from the dis-
ease last year. Waily -llnl m.M fnM1 Oklahoma have
been discharged from the army bccati e of their af-
fliction with luberruoMs. They are coming honu
many of them arc home already and what arc we
going to ib) about the;r care and treatment? They
have :;otie forth in serve their country. Now it is for
Oklahoma to s(rc them in their need.
"Consumption" the vi ry word used to scare people
alnio-t to death. When a person developed tubercle
genus he or .-be felt doomed. It was the general be-
lief that the thin;' was incurable. That belief has been
dissipated by the facts. In recent years many thous-
ands of ca es have been cured and cured to stay
cured. Scientists tell us that everybody has a smat-
tering of tubercle germs in the s -tern. Those of us
w ho arc hardy and who gel plenty of fresh air ami
physical cercisc with proper food are able to resist
the genii-.. Others les fortunate fall prev to them
and have a mighty hard fi.'hl on their hands.
With a -Vstcm of well -di nihiilcd sanatoria in this

OKLAHOMA WOMEN VINDICATED
Tl IF. women did it. They elected S. C. Durbin mayor
of Chickasha on the last day of 1918 by the
biggest majority ever received by a candidate
in that city. W hile the writer does not know Mr.
Durbin personally it is gathered frpm newspaper
comment prior to the special election that he is a man
of high civic merit and was the best candidate before
the voters.
Last Monday in this space we published an edi-
torial headed "Oklahoma Women on Trial." W e ex-
pressed the belief that the women of Chickasha first
of their sex to vote in this state under the constitu-
tional amendment adopted last November conferring
rimzenship upon women would prove that the bal-
lot placed in their hands was not misplaced. It ap-
pears that the women of Chickasha have proved it.
l.et us analyze the vote briefly. The total vote
was 1 .035. There were five candidates for mayor the
only office to be filled at the election which was held
to choose a successor to the 'men-elected mayor who
had been removed from office fur wilful malfeasance.
Mr. Durbin got (01 votes or more than two-thirds of
the total. His nearest competitor got only 1-15. His
clear majority over all was 3-14. And we are told in the
dispatches from Chickasha that the women did it.
W'e are told al so that (of) women were registered
for the election. Equal suffrage leaders had expected
only .about 500 registrations. And the women went
to the polls in a raging snowstorm with a cold wave
coming and a considerable pari thereof already ar-
rived. They got up early in the morning and voted
early but not often just one vote to one woman.
Heretofore it has been the habit of a certain set of
men to vote early and as often as possible without
being caught in the act of repeating. W'e venture the
guess that there was no repeating by the women of
( hickasha. History may he so foolish its to repeat
it sell but an Oklahoma woman has better sense.
And right here and now permit us to make an-
other prediction. When the women begin voting
throughout Oklahoma as they will at the general
election and at the spring municipal elections there
repeating by male animals than
the past. Why? P.ecause alreai.lv
citizens of the other sex
civic betterment.
iave begun
Sapnlpa we believe started this movement imme-
diately after the suffrage amendment carried. The
movement is spreading to other cities. It will be taken
tip by the women of Ardmore just as soon as they have
lime to get together and talk it over. That will mean
lor Ardmore and for Carter county better local gov-
ernment than has been known heretofore. There can
be not the slightest d.nibt as to that. The women
of ibis city and county in ihr main are high-class cit-
izens. They will vole only for high-class candidates.
You may slick vom little stick-pin right here brother
and let it stay Muck until this statement i verified by
I be events.
The women did it at ('hickasha. The women will
do i; I liroiighotit Oklahoma when they get i he oppor-
uiniv. urn may mark that well. They are going to
eotitiibulr largrlv to lint pan of ihe making of ihe
'"new world" which has io do with Oklahoma. The
old icgiiiir of pliig-itglinrss in municipal and state
policies is pas-Jug. The old order i giving place lo
lievv. The dawn of a brighter better nobler day
in local self-government is reddening. A few years
iroui now nobody with good reason can call Oklahoma
a rotten borough in anv respect and the women will
do more io bring ihat situation aboui than any other
element of the electorate.
Our guess js that vve can bank on the women of

no pettiness in it no sclf-seekitif no

This was not the voice of Demo-

With the removal of Carter Glass
from apparently a lifetime job
as congresnian through his ap-
pointment as secretary of the treas-
ury the Sixth Virginia district is
taking advantage of its opportunity
to indulge in a regular old-fashioned
political campaign. There is no dearth
of candidates in the held and the
lists are still open with the promise
of more. Aside from the quantity of
available material it is calling forth
the campaign will be well worth
watching because l he railroad own-
ership issue has been injected and
it may be the first test of public
opinion on this most vital of all do-
mestic questions.
Ratification of the federal prohibi-
tion amendment by the necessary
thirty-six states before February 1
1''19 is predicted as certain. Already
fifteen states have ratified the
amendment and ratification is ex-
pected by twenly-two other states
now '"dry" by state statutes. States
now "wet." but where the incoming
legislatures are expected to ratify
the amendment are: California 11-
'linoi Minnesota -Missouri Ver
mont and Wisconsin. States in
which legislative action may be more
or less doubtful are Connecticut
New York Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island. Xevv Jersey is regarded by
the "drys" as the only hopeless
state.
With the republican majority in
the next senate so very slight only
two republican senators by voting
with the democrats coudl nullify
the election of Senator-elect New-
berry of Michigan. That the Henry
Ford forces wiil make an effort to
"get" the two necessary republicans
is now regarded not merely as likely
but as a certainty. Those republican
senators who are suspected of en-
tertaining an opinion that there was
fraud in the election of Newberry
and that he is not entitled to a seat
in the senate are Kenyon of Iowa
America will take its part in solv-
ing the problems of the world and

Tho

plot otherwise will discover their
mistake when the American soldier
returns and exercises his influence
upon the national life lie will not
forget the symbolic glory of the
rising sun which has seen across
desolated and wasted lands; he
knows not only that the world is
to be made safe for democracy but
but that democracy must be 'made
safe for the world and he will not
only do his share in the work of
making it so but he will se? to it
that the little Americans do not
interfere with the true destiny of
this country.

THE KING IS DEAD
(As Illuminated bv the San An
tonio Light).
As the time for the peace con-
ference approaches we cannot but
not the fact that President Wilson
will be about the only personage in
attendance approaching even in the
remotest degree a ruler. He K of
course not a ruler in the sense that
he has the power of a monarch
but lie at least is the head of the
nation and of the people for whom
he proposes to speak. All the other
delegates to that conference will be
European staiesmen able men
most of them and like the Presi-
dent relying for power upon au-
thorization by constitutional gov-
ernments. At the peace table there will not
sit a single monarch of Europe.
What a mighty change lias been
wrought in t lie world in a lew brief
years? Looking backward to the
days when European monarch
reigned supreme t he steady pro-
gress of the peoples in their de-
termination to wrest the powers ot
government from royalty can be
seen more clearly now than ever.
The institution of monarchy is
one of the most ancient in history.
The high position and wide powers
of king and emperor had so long
been recognized as to be accepted
much as a matter of fact. Yet here
we are suddenly confronted with
the fact that peoples and no' mon-
archs will make this peace for the
first time in history.
In all Europe vve find no mon-
arch with authority enough at home
or abroad to assert any personal
prerogatives in tho peace proceed-
ings. In fact throughout the
world with the exception of the
cmreror of Japan we fill no king
or emperor it.pable o; exercising
any authority or privilege outside
of a most limited constitution!!
sphere What few kings and em-
perors remain are hedged ahont
with a multitude of democratic safe-
guards that leave them merely cno-
cutive officers of their respective
peoples. They are absolute only :ti
the ordering of their own house-
hold just as John Doe and Richard
Roe are supreme in their respective
homes. Their courts eon-ist poli-
tically of empty ceremonials. They
may exclude persons obnoxious t)
them personally from participation
in court ceremonies and kingly so-
cial affairs hut a leader of Xevv
York's four hundred has far more
autocratic sway even than a king
in matters of social moment.
Thus we find the kings and em-
perors of today the royal houses
and royal lineages of all lands are
but figure-heads and figures of
speech in reality. As affecting the
trend of world .affairs they do not
count and it is safe to say they
wiil never count again. Some of
the nations cling to them much as
they preserve the antitpies and art
works of bygone eras and not be-
cause of their utility or their neces-
sity in modern affairs. The royal
pujpls is royal in name only; in
actual affairs it is but a phrase.
Monarch such as once held the
destinjes of the world and of the
individual in the palms of their
hands are gone for all time. De-
mocracy today is shouting: "The
king is dead!" and there is no an-
swering shout: "Long live the
king!"
bor the first time in history the
peoples and not the monarchs tire
rulers of the world.

IDEA ENDORSED EY SIX-
TEEN COUNTY BREED-
ERS SOCIETIES
That the idea of driving scrub
bulls front Oklahoma by legislative
action is meeting with appreciable
popular accord s evidenced by
sixteen county breeders' associa-
tions in different sections of the
state having endorsed the move
during the past ten days.
The merit of the proposition :'s
in the great benefit to be derived
front the enactment of a law which
will ultimately increase tiie wealth
of practically every resident of
Oklahoma J. Robert Gillam of
Ardmore champion of the cause
is quoted as having said. The ex-
planation offered is that if en-
acted the proposed law will have
eliminated scrub bulls from the
state within three four or possi-
bly five years and that the use of
registered aires during the same
period will have improved the qual-
I ity and increased the production of
cattle to a valuation of from -JO to
l0 per cent greater than it is at the
present time.
Again it is pointed out that
while the farmers who raise cai-
l Ie will be the greatest bcucfici..-
ies the increased' value of their live
stock would occasion irreaier spend
ing power in
their communities.
Not a siugl
objection has been
raised to the provision for paying
owners of scrubs the difference he
twecu the market value of their
animals and ten cents a pound out
of state funds; the on!- requisite
being that the amount received for
them at ten cents a pound shall be
applied towards the purchase ui
registered brredng animals.
