No matter what the final outcome of tho European war 1b between
tho parties engaged or what tho result is going to be to the map of
Europe, It is a self-evident fact that every creditor wo have across the
pond and every investor la going to call upon us to pay up. For the
next ten years instead of finaancing our railroads and other great en-
terprises, tho nations of the old country are going to be constantly be-
sieging Uncle Sam to finance them. After our debts are paid they will
urge and demand as tho price of their trade and patronnge that we car-
ry m large share of their staggering war debt and we have lots of bank-
ers and benevolent millionaires who would rather loan money In China
or some effeto monarchy than turn loose a nickel In this country where
they mado their money.
All this means that wo must as a people learn to save our money
and flnanco ourselves. Our reform of tho currency and Its establishment
on a broader and more stable basis has come not a moment too soon.
The regional banks will make for financial self-reliance and this is a
first, long step away from our almost servllo dependence on New York
and Europe.
The next step must mark a revolution In the habits and training of
the individual American. Ho and she have long known tho arts of mak-
ing money and spending money; they must now be taught to save and
to live within their incomes.
The end of the war will bring to this country millions of honest,
industrious and frugal people who have lost their all by the holocaust
of war. These people will find In our worst conditions opportunities
greater than they ever enjoyed In their own countries even in tltno of
peace. They will create a competition in our industries, commerce and
agricultural which our careless and improvident working people cannot
overcome unless they add to their acknowledged skill and efficiency the
virtue of frugality. They must learn to SAVE or the peaceful invasion
of this country after the war by the Industrial and agricultural armies
of Europe who will find their occupations gone and their homes deso-
lated, will be more dangerous In the end than If they eamo with arms in
their bauds.
This world's war will only result In accentuating and precipitating
tho greater economic war that all students and thinkers have seen Im-
pending for tho past two or three decadeh hi this struggle we have
the best position, the greatest resources but even less preparation than
wo hare to become a participant In the present conflict of :,i mtic mili-
tary machines.
We owe tho money lenders of Europe upwards of three billion dol-
lars and our people Instc id of being trained to habits of thrift and
economy have been trained in every art of promotion on borrowed cap-
ital and led by every blandishment to spend their Incomes and earnings
to the last cent. Poverty Is despised; frugality Is sneered at and vul-
gar pride, social snobbery and tawdry style have become besetting na-
tional tins.
Many of our farmers mortgage their growing crops, curse the banks
for charging usury and buy their vegetables and fruit in tin cans.
Too many young men and young women scorn labor and housework
and want their clothes made of Imported goods In foreign styles. The
economic war that is now upon us will bo no holiday affair. It may
last in Its acute stage for years and it will certainly prove di^ ?trous
to Americans unless our habits ehange and our attitude toward the
fundamental laws of financial self preservation Is reversed. We must
atop wasting and go to saving We must raise what we consume. We
mnst get out of debt and stay out. Accumulate a surplus by conserving
our resources and living within our Income.
We have barred the Chinaman and tho Japanese because our labor-
ing man could not and would not compete with them In an economic
way, but we cannot and will not exclude the English, German, Belgian.
Austrian, French and Russian and the history of past year« prove that
unless we take seriously to heart the study and achievement of frugal-
ity and thrift and save where we havo squandered, the present genera-
tion of easy-going American spendthrifts will be t>>o last and the
United States will bo conquered by tho foreigner without a bayonet or
the firing of a gun.
It Is tho law of the survival of the fittest and It is as Inexorable In
thia economic war as it is In the warfare of nature or nations
General Villa demands a commission form of government for Mexico.
Almost any old form would bo a decided Improvement over the kind
they have had for the past three years.

Tho Oklahoma farmer appears to bo settling the cotton situation by
holding most of It in the field and the wagon shed. If he is able In all
the other states to hold out for a raiso someone will have to bid up on

Oklahoma City Is having her annual disturbance over the failure of
her water supply. Puts us In mind of tho ancedoto of how "Prick"
Pomeroy won his title "Prick." He was running a newspaper in one of
two early day rival towns in Wisconsin. The neighboring village boasted
long and loud of its "water'power." Pomeroy wrote a story alleging
that a travellor one day watered his team out of tho creek that sup-
plied the "water power" and that much vaunted resource disappeared.
(Jeorge 1). Prentice read the story and denominated the writer a "Prick."
Seriously, Oklahoma City never had any "water supply." That has been
the one thing the metropolis has always needed, and tho only thing they
have steadily refused to pay their money for.

WHY 01TB PEOPLE MIST CI1ANGE THEIR METHODS.
We Must Feed The World
The war will make a shortage of European grain, cereals must
be high, we must feed Germany, France and England and many
other countries. We Must feed the hungry. BUT HOW?
WE MUST HAVE TEAM WORK.
Tho banker, business man, and farmer must work to-gether.
We must all work with our state and government agriculture de-
partments, uso our county demonstrator, back these organizations
with encouragement and effort.
WE MUST MAKE A LARGER YIELD OF BETTER GRAIN
Let everyone begin to thank and plan now, the business man,
the banker adjust his business to these ends, and the farmer make
bit plant now, by selecting his ground, his seed, and begin fall
plowing.
