U. S. SENATE FOR

"Chattered" Year nd Half Over

Were Blocked.
WANTS U. S. TO ALLOW

If the action of the crowd that
Jammed the district court room at
the court Bouse hero last night to
hear Scott Ferris senatorial candi:
date can bo taken as a criterion of
the county then there will be con-
siderable "butchering" in progress
in Grady when eleceion time rolls
around.
nut that's getting a little ahead
cf the story. Mr. Ferris in speak-
ing of the action of a small coterie
cf senators who threw stumbling
blocks in the way of the administra-
tion during the progress of the war
illustrated his point by the following
story:
A pioneer v.iio had homesteaded
an Oklahoma farm in the early days
had in the way of a team only an
eld cow and a steer. The steer was
inclined to shirk at every opportuni-
ty. One day the pioneer was haul-
ing up a little load of wood for fuel.
The steer following his usual tac-
tics laid down in the road and re-
fused to pull his share of the toad.
The pioneer was patient. He got
eff his; wagon took the yoke off the
toer put it on himself and he and
the cow pulled the load of wood
home. That night the steer sidled
up to the cow out in the pasture and
Bald:
"Cow what did the boss say about
li.e way I laid down on the job to-
day?" "Oh he didn't say much about it"
replied the cow.
The next day they were out after
another load of wood. On the way
home the steer again laid down.
He refused to do a thing toward
helping get that load of wood safely
home. The pioneer again unhitched
the balky steer hitched himself in
beside the cow and pulled the load
home. That night the steer again
sidled up to the cow out in the pas-
ture and said:
"Say cow what did the boss say
about the way I laid down on the
Job again today:"
"Well" replied the cow "I didn't
hear him say very much but I saw
ita holding a long conference with
the butcher!"
"Who'll Play Butcher?"
When Mr. Ferris had ended his
speech G. W. Austin president of
tho Oklahoma ' College for AVomen
arose and called the crowd to order
which had begun to move toward
the door. When those of the crowd
who could find places were again
seated Mr. Austin said:
"Now all those In this room who
will do his or her full duty and who
will pledge themselves to play the
part of the putcher stand up."
Nearly every man and woman in
the house stood up. There were
probably less than a dozen in the
audience who remained seated.
Speaks of Legion.
Mr. Ferris in his talk touched
up on the suffrage question advo-
cated the creation of an internation-
al peace tribunal by which the dif-
ferences of nations could be settled
ipther than by duplicating the terri
ble war from the effects of
which the world is still staggering
and came out strong for a provision
whereby the ex-soldiers could ob
tain ho.nfis from the government on
long time loans.
He pointed out that the soldiers
were not begging were not asking
the government to give them any-
thing. The speaker stated however
that he was in favor of making pro-
visions for loaning the soldiers the
purchase price of homes of their
choice and making those loans pay-.
able on such terms that any former
soldier could meet. He stated that
ho was against putting the soldiers

"Either that or Bonus."
"It's either that or a bonus" said
Mi'. Ferris. "I figure there was not
one soldier among that 4800000
men who made America's army who
couldn't have earned-a minimum of
$100 a month had he remained at

country for $30 a month. Some were
in the army over a year some two
years and I think that the differ-
ence between $100 a month and $30
a month is what the country justly
owes these soldiers.
"I am going to try to get that
homestead bill fo rsoldiers through.
If I don't do that then I'm for the

LOCAL DEBATERS
CLINCH DECISION
OVER HENNESSEY
C. H. S. Followers of Cicero Score
Second Victory in Fifth District
State Debating League; Have
Affirmative.
Arguing for the affirmative side
of the question "Resolved That the
United States should adopt univer-
sal military training" -the Chickasha
senior high school debating trio won
a unanimous decision over tae Hen-
nessey high school orators hid e last
night.
The local team centered its con-
structive argument for the most part
around four salient points that uni-
versal military training is necessa-
ry is democratic in principle will
improve a man's physical body and
at the same time teach him a voca-
tion and that universal military
training is economically correct.
The speeches of the negative were
in the nature of appeals and general
refutations of the affirmative asser-
c'nns.' In few cases did the nega-
tive pick out any single point of the
affirmative's argument in an effort
'.3 refute that point individually. In-
stead their rebuttal work took the
form of set speeches w)iA:h were cal-
culated to deny any point that their
opponents might bring nut. It was
plain that their logic fell short of its
aim in several instances with the
result that the C. II. S. team clinch
ed a number of points tint the nega-
tive did not attempt to refute ex-
ei't in a general way.
Whilo Wayne Sanders delivered
an ex.inordinarily effective construe
rive speech and Walter Adams tut
excellent rebuttal work Persj-i
Wcdai: was conceded to be the.
best Breaker and all in all the beat
tebater. o'.l the local team in the ar-
;umci't if st night. The. Hennessoy
team va" composed of Misses Lau-
a Wei my r and Irene Helms and
Kalp!' Wills. Miss Weimer the vis
itors' :ii si speaker was considered
to be the star follower of Cicero if.
the Hennessey aggregation.
The judges of the argument were
Ernest Howell of the state normal
school at Edmond A. Linchid of the
department of English of the univer-
sity of Oklahoma and Richard H.
Cloyd secretary of the O. U. Alumni
association.
The debate was preceded by a pi-
ano solo by Miss I'uLli Lacer and
was followed by readings by Miss
Ruby Lee Rice and an informal re-
ception and mixer in the Y. M. and
Y. W. rooms.
It is pointed out that only five un-
defeated teams remain in district
number five of the Oklahoma high
school debating league. Of this
number Chickasha is one and will
debate the winner of the Duncan-
El Reno argument at a date to bo
announced later.
The affirmative team of the C. H
S. girls' debiting squad which has
been entered in the girls pentangu-
lar league will debate El Reno high
school here next Friday night while
the local girls' negative arguers will
meet the Shawnee debaters in Shaw-
nee it was announced last night.

TO
Senate It Through When Refusal to
Ratify Pact Is Voiced by Ballots;
Document Sent Back to Na-
tion's Chief.
"WHAT WILL WILSON DO?"
QUESTION IS ASKED NOW
Can Send It Back to Senate; Can
Make It Issue In Coming Cam-
paign; Senators Believed Will
Be the Latter. r
By United Press.
Washington March 20. The peace
treaty of Versailles is now in the
hands of the president and is up to
him. The senate was through when
the members refused to ratify the
pact and sent it back to President
Wilson.
The question now is' "What will
Wilson do?"
Ho can send It back to the sen-
ate. In that case Senator Lodgo and
other Republican leuders as well as
many Democrats indicate that no ac-
tion will bo taken on it until the is-
sue is threshed out in the coming
political campaign.
The treaty can go on to the Auior-
lean people in a "solemn referen-
dum" as the president said in his
Jackson day dinner letter. The
treaty can be dropped and the Unit
ed States can begin negotiations with
Sormany for tho restoration of a.
'tat o of peace.
Tho general imprcsison among the
senators is that the president will
take the second course asking that
the Democrats make the treaty ttia
paramount issuo In the presidential
campaign.
Whatever course tho president de-
cides to take it Is generally agreed
that the country faces another long
:if oratory concerning; the treaty.
The peace treaty again failed of
ratification last night in the sen-
ile the resolution containing fhe'
Republican reservations failing to
receive two-thirds majority.
