Easy Road to Fame
At thiaseason or the year “introduc-
Ing a bill" Is the shortest of all roads
to fame declares the Boston Trans-
cript Any member of a lawmaking
body 6tate or national with suitable
writing materials at hand may do this
For some reason the reading public
takes the act with tremendous serious-
' ness It Is not uncommon to hear that
“they are going to do” so and so In
Washington or In the legislature and
on Investigation It turns out that the
indefinite “they are” merely means
that some one man has introduced a
bill to make the change in question
This Is a very long distance from
legislative enactment JXhe bills that
will be introduced at this legislative
session will run up into thousands
the number involving important
changes that will be actually passed
is decidedly small particularly in the
congress of the United States How
easy it is to introduce a bill was illus-
trated by an experience of Senator
Blair At the request of a constituent
with whom he had but slight acquaint-
ance and In the closing hours of a ses-
sion of congress he introduced with-
out reading a bill which as it proved
would attempt to divert the Gulf
stream by some engineering feat so
that it would warm up Labrador and
incidentally the regions to the north —
commonly referred to as the bill for
“heating the north pole” Many of the
bills introduced this winter are quite
as far removed from the statute books
as was that famous measure Labra-
dor is still cold
Is Business War?
Can the ethically right be economi-
cally wrong? Could any indictment of
our present competitive system be
more terrible than the following: “It
is necessary to realize in the world of
business as in the battlefield a world
outside the direct control of the
Christian ethic” We should be grate-
ful for this frank utterance by Mr
Masterman It Is simply in line with
Mr H H Rogers when he said “Busi-
ness is war” We need not quote the
well-known words of Gen- Sherman re-
garding war Men are beginning to
understand the anti-social anti-religious
anti-ethical nature of capitalism
and its destructive power over the
'worker writes Rev George R Lunn
in the Homiletic Review The condem-
nation of capitalism however is not
the equivalent of condemning capital-
ists in toto They are victims of a
system which we have outgrown and
ought in the interest our Christian
faith to abolish
We have been building monuments
to those who could massacre the most
In the cathedrals of Europe and fir
the parks of America you will find ten
imonuments to those who have de-
stroyed their kind to every one 'of
those who have brought the world
light and life but a better day is
dawning Seven years ago writes
Charles L Goodell D D in the Hom-
iletic Review when France made up
its list of immortals Napoleon the
greatest of butchers headed the list
but last year it made another roll of
its noble men and Pasteur the savior
of human life stood first There is an-
other Book which has the list of God’s
immortals and above that list it is
written “They that be wise shall
shine as the firmament and they that
turn many to righteousness as the
stars forever and ever”
It is said that of those who applied
ir aid under the British old-age pen-
OU8 act which went Into effect Jan-
iry 1 nine-tenths were unable to
gn their names If this is so it is a
riking proof that ignorance and in-
igence go together Of similar im-
jrt was the argument of a recent
say on the conditions of labor in
ngland The writer not unsympa-
letic spoke of that “multitude of in-
jmpetents who call themselves the
nemployed” ' That does nol-t I the
hole story of poverty for individual
jod men have hard luck and bad
mes overtake the best But on the
hole the competent man succeeds
The contributions made by people
the United States to the earthquake
fferers of Italy amount to much
re than a million dollars The re-
onse to the call for aid was above
things prompt many of the money
ders going by cable direct to the
ilian relief agencies Rarely has
?re been in the worlds Listc a
re generous answer to an appeal
d Italy can never forget the rich
ts from this land
LEGISLATORS AND UWS
SENATOR STAFFORD INTRO-
DUCES MEASURE
DEFINES III BEEUUTE5 CITIES i TONIS
Provides for the Codification of all of
Oklahoma's Municipal Laws and
Intended aa Meant to Incor-
porate Citlea and Towns
Guthrie Okla— The proposed new
municipal code codifying all of Okla-
homa's municipal laws which has
been introduced by Senator Stafford
is without exception the most extend-
ed and comprehensive measure intro-
duced in either house of the legisla-
ture during the present general as-
sembly In all there are 165 closely
typewritten pages dealing with 379
sections all of which have to do with
the regulation of municipal affairs
The bill is intended as an act provid-
ing for the incorporation of cities and
towns classifying them prescribing
their privileges and defining the du-
ties and powers of officials
One of the most Important sections
of the bill is that which describes
and classifies cities and towns of the
state and which makes all cities of
over '5000 inhabitants cities of the
first class cities between 2000 and
5000 inhabitants cities of the second
class and defines towns a those having
less than 2000 people It also pro-
vides that in cities having more than
23000 inhabitants there may be ap-
pointed an auditor by the mayor and
members of the city council
No change is made in the date of
elections as provided by the present
law but It is provided that cities of
the second class may be raised to the
first class
One of the important sections of
the bill Is that which provides for an
occupation tax or license for the va-
rious professions as well as peddlers
and transit dealers This section is
so broad that none can escape
Weights and measures are given at-
tention in a special section and pen-
alties for short measure and weight
is provided
GOOD TO OKLAHOMA
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
Makes Liberal Appropriation
Washington D C — The senate
committee was more liberal to Okla-
homa than the house committee and
when the Indian appropriation bill
came out of the committee it had $1-
300000 more for Oklahoma than
the house bill provided The biggest
raise was in the school item The
house had cut this to $150000 The
senate committee restored it to $300-
000 to which It was last year

made an unfavorable report on the

ity report was made by Senator Tay-
lor who moved that It be substituted
for the majority report and the fight
came on that proposition

mend that $300000 be appropriated

WHERE HE STOOD
perCyDo you think your father
would object to my marrying you?
Pearl — I couldn’t say If he’s any-
thing like me he would
Laundry work at borne would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness it Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric ie
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness which not only destroys the
appearance but also affects the wear-
ing qunjlty of the goods This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starcb as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes
Poor Pat
The surgeon of a large hospital was
paying a visit to the patients when he
come to a cot whereon lay an Irish-
man who was not bearing hiB pain
very bravely for he was groaning
loudly
“Oh come my poor fellow” remon-
strated the surgeon “try and bear
your pain like a man It’s no use
kicking against Fate”
“Shure you’re roight sorr” groaned
the Irishman who had been severely
kicked by a mule “’specially whin
they're the fate of a mule!”— Ex-
change The extraordinary popularity of fin
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im-
portance Defiance Starch being free
from all injurious chemicals is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary with the result of
perfect finish equal to that when the
goods were new
Invention of Porcelain
At a display of porcelain in China

ture ascribes the invention of porce-
lain to a period some 25 centures be-
fore Christ Foreign experts ave by
