Mr. Linville in his talk at the Presbyterian church
Sunday afternoon ssid something about "polities' should
be forgotten during this war." We heartily agree with
him in this deduction but believe the forgetting should be-
gin at the head of the democratic party and not so near
the tail. It would be more effective.

The Postmaster-General has recommended to the
President and to congress that the carrying of the rural
mail be let out by contract—the lowest responsible bidder
securing the job. In some parts of our great rural system
the contract way has been introduced and from its work-
ings Mr. Burleson estimates that over 20 million dollars
could be saved to the department were the contract way
in force all over the U. S. We are with the P. M. gener-
al in his efforts to put the government contract system
over and remove it from party spoils.

If automobiles are being sold all over Oklahoma as
fast and frequent as in this county, there is certainly a
great need of a bumper crop next year. If the several
agents working out of Cordell are telling facts there are
from sixteen to twenty thousand dollars being paid out
at this point alone for cars each week. The upkeep of
these machines must be a neat sum,'judging from the
number of men employed in the various garages and re-
pair shops. Six gasolerie stations are kept up by supply-
ing gas, and the various accessories required to keep all
of them on the move a part of the time, all of which adds
much to the first cost. This expense must come out of
the farm, or the great per cent, and it seems an enormous
load, yet with good crops it will be a light burden, and it
would be unwise to turn the picture over at this time.

The great Christmas Red Cross drive is on, and a
house to house canvass has been made and if it is not a
success it will the fault will lie in the'fact that a man's job
was put on the women. Why this work was shifted by
the men is beyond our ken, but it was, and if the drive
was not what it ought to be the fault can not be charged
up to the lay workers. The experience of is typical of all
o: them. When she arrived at the home the man of the
hose had gone down town, and the wife had no idea what
"her man" do and the result was nothing done. This

serving notice on the democratic party that he will be
open for engagements when the time comes to seek
moses. Several years ago he came out in favor of gov-
ment ownership of railroads, but failed to attract any ®
favorable comment. He has now loaded the proposition
upon the general and the state governments to own jointly
and make a very flowery argument in favor of the dual
ownership. It would appear that the state ought to be
interested in the receipts at least, however the manage-
ment and control must be under one head. Government
control of any great industry has been prostituted to par^
ty advancement and has never been given a fair trial.
