FREELINO ANNOUNCES
FOR UNITED STATES SENATE
WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
OF FORT SILL. OKLAHOMA
Hou. 8. P. Freeling has announeeil
his candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Gore. Mr.
Freeling is a great campaigner ami lias
scores of friends throughout the state
who will be glad of an opportunity to
do what they can to put him in the
Senate. But it will take much cam-
paigning and lots of friends for any
ono to beat Senator Oore, as he, too,
is some campaigner, with lots of friends
who will rally to him in the campaign.

LET THE REPUBLICANS ACT
At least two opportunities have been
given to Republican Congress to move
toward a reduction in the cost of living
without at the same time impairing the
waf;es of workers or the fair profits of
producers. The Federal Trade Com-
missioner’s reports on the packing in-
dustry, which is charged with an at-
tempt to restrain trade and monopolize
the production nnd distribution of
staple foods, and Governor Cox’s attack
on exploiters and profiteers in Ohio,
give inspiration and occasion for a Con-
gressional inquiry and remedy 1 the
Republicans really wish to legislate for
the entire country instead of acting
or omitting to act for the behoof of
special interests.
There is a general feeling that the
present expense of living has outrun
any fair ratio to the cost of production
and distribution. There is a convic-
need for clothingcog-as
tion that those who supply the public
need for food and clothing and other
commodities are manipulating nnd prof-
iteering without conscience or curb.
The peoyde look to the Republican
Congress for action that will correct the
conditions of which the Federal Trade
Commission and Governor Cox—among
thousands—are complaining. There can
be no escape from this duty to the
people without incurring the odium of
indifference to the country’s welfare
or the guilt of collusion with the prof-
iteers. The Democrntes have shown
the way. Let the Republican majority
suit its acts to the necessities.

War Risk Insurance Bureau officials
are enlisting cooperation of five hun-
dred thousand volunteer workers to
present to service men the benefits to
be derived from continuing their war-
risk insurance. The Government sells
this insurance to the service men at
cost, which is about one-third lower
than it can be purchased from the old-
lino companies. The Government pays
all the expense of operation, giving the
service men the protection at cost as
one way of showing its appreciation for
their war service. Forty billions of
such insurance held by four million
men will have a profoudly beneficial ef-
fect on the social and economic life of
the nation.
-—O-
By the way, the “luxury tax’’ :s one
factor in the high cost of living, and
the President has repeatedly urged its
abolition. The Republican filibuster
prevented its repeal last march and the
Republican majority in Congress con-
tinues it in force.
-O—-—
Republicans have always regarded
high prices as great blessings. From
this viewpoint the present excessive
cost of living would appear to be a
notable benedetion. Is that why the
Republican majority hesitates to move
against the profiteers!
-O-
Has it been noticed that the Repub-
lican “investigations’’ begin with
liberal appropriations which go in part
to pay salaries to “experts,” clerks
and other employees who are chosen by
reason of their partisan pull!
-O-
The weather man is playing thunder
with the crop* in ths part of the coun-
try. It seems too bad some one who
has a pull haan't taken this matter up
and aeeured an extension of the rain
season through July.
-O—-
Senator Penrose is again in print
with a promise of “economy” in gov-
ernmental expenditures. If the country
could only cnstl Republican promisee
the national debt would be paid every
Hatnrdav night.

Last Friday marked the dawn of the
New Era for the men of this Poet; the
passing of the old and the coining of
the new army was celebrated in due
manner at tho Khaki College, in which
tnorc than 200 parttlcipaled, 16P of
which were eoldiere. Appropriate ad-
dresses were made by the prominent
members of the local Welfare Societies,
Chaplains Ford and McDonald and
Major Austin, Poet Morale Officer,
whose consolidated efforts brought
about the present change of Army Vo-
ational Training Self education is now
part of the men’s military duty, al-
thmigh not compulsory, the student will
be expected to attend regularly and if
ho enrolls, and his application will be
found through the records of merit.
This system of education was recogniz-
ed by the government us a great im-
provement and will in a short time
innkit the IT. 8. Army tho most Modern
Armv of the World. Major Austin is
tho head of the Khaki College under
its administration as a military day
school. All subjects are available that
will prepare the student for a college
or University with tho additional busi-
noso course, mechanical engineering,
photography, telegraphy, radio, meehan-
cal and topographical drafting and mo
tion picture operating. 175 have enroll-
ed to date.
Newspaper reports that pay of en-
listed men will revert to pre-wnr scale
after the present emergency, is incor-
rect. The same pay will be in force
from and after tho date of the appee
priation of 1920.
The Ninth Field has only recently
received some very effective weapons,
viz. Four Filloux rifles, caliber 155 mil-
ometers. The gun and carriage weigh
15,225 pounds. The Ninth is the first
regiment of Field Artillery in tho U.
S. Army to bo completely motoriz.ed.
Tho three regiments, First, Ninth and
Fourteenth, have made an enviable re-
cord in firing during the war. Every
kind of conceivable problem was per-
fectly worked out. and several thous-
and officers of Field Artillery were
given opportunities for praeical work,
with outfits that couldn’t be outclassed
Enlistments for service in Siberia
are confined to four branches of service
—Infantry, Medical Corps, Ordnance
Department and the Quartermaster
Corps. White men only will be accept
ed and the term of enlistment will be
for three years.
A silver Victory Button for wounds
received in action will be issued only
upon tho evidence of such wounds as
shown on tho discharge certificate. Tn
case no such evidence is shown on
said certificates and a wound is alleged,
a letter stating all facts in the case
should bo forwarded to the Adjutant
General’s Office by the applicant for
the '■orroboration in accordance with
facts as shown by ttye official re-
cords on file at that office.
Enlistments at Fort Sill, since Feb
24th, 1919 number 916. <
The Post Field baseball team will
make a trip to Lindsay, Oklahoma, for
a game with that aggregation on Sat.
Five airplanes will transport the team
with Lieut. Burns, Athletic Officer in
chnrge. Other trips will be made soon.
The First Field Artillery, gave a
splendid open air entertainment last
Thursday evening. Chaplin Ford nr
ranged the [program whidh fncfludled
dancing, vocal and Instrumental selec-
tions, monologues, boxing and wrestl-
ing. Several of the young ladies of
Lawton contributed their talent, nnd
their parts infDceded by the blood-
curdling, Dempaey-defying boxing bouts
furnished a welcome diversion.
Fort Sill and Post Field base ball
teams consist of some fast material,
and the clnss of hall played by the
several aggregations rivals any League
nr independent team in the state.
The 14th Artillery Regiment is now
firing for record with the “45’s. ”
It. is believed that when it is over a
large number of men will be qualified
ns expert. 1st clnss or 2nd class. The
men have been eagerly awaiting this
opportunity to show what they can
do with the “Gat.”
Tho “emergency” men of the 439th
Reserve Battalion numbering 65 have
been discharged last week. Pretty
soon wo will have Old Soldiers
and the comers left to carry on the
work of tho regular army.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Unite States Public Health Ser-
vice operating under the direction of
Hr. J. (.’. Miihr in Oklahoma is con-
ducting a camprign of education to
acquaint the public with the dangers
o” venereal diseases and is offering to
place «... exhibit in any town of the
State. e moving picture film, r it
to Win ’ ono of Lieut. E. H. Griffith’s
host movie productions. 1 he film will
be shown in any picture theatre free
of cost to the public wherever arrange
mentH can be made for its production.
Civic organizations and movie theatre
owners who desire to aid in a great and
worthy cause and at the same time se-
cure a picture that is entertaining, hu-
morous, and rcpleto with life which
visyalizes, and shows tho snaros,
tations and dangers of everyday life
and of the menace of social diseases
ns affecting every nan, woman ned
child, should correspond with the Ok-
lahoma Bureau of the U. 8. Public
Health Service ami secure this woniler-
ful movie production for their town
and theatres, which wiTl be supplied
free in order that the public may see
at first hand the dangers of social clis-
eascs which tho Bereau is endeavoring
to bring under control and stamp out.
“The End of the Road.”
Another wonderful movie production
offered free to tho public is entitled
The End of t!*e Road,” equally as
great as Griffith’s “Fit to Win.”
These two films are companion pieces
showing the dangers of tho “Red Men-
ace” to humanity, and both may be se-
cured for exhibition by applying to
the Oklahoma Bureau of the U. S/Pub-
lic Health Service.
Tho Double Standard of Morality.”
Social diseases are a menace to hu-
maniyt. All acknowledge this state-
ment as true. The prevalence of ven-
ereal diseases is due largely to the
aouble standard of morality. Some day
men will discover that chastity is as
precious as a jewel in man as it is in
woman. Virtuous men are needed to-
day to father a new race. Upon the
shoulders of the children of Jomorrow
will fall the obligations made by the
present generation. The time is ripe
for an awakening of the Social con-
science. The public should rise in its
might and declare in order to safe-
guard the future generations that the
order of teaching that there must be
standard of morals for men and a
standard of morals for women be
thrown into the discard as relice of
another day which has failed. To this
mistaken code much of the misery and
ttangers of social diseases is due. Pros-
titution, the source of venereal dis-
eases, must cease in every community.

Prepared for The Democrat by the
First National Bank in St. Louis
A total of 8.806 applications for seed-
grain loans were approve«l by the
branch office of the United States
Department of Agriculture at Wichita,
Kansas, and $2,025,262 was loaned to
lirought-stricken farmers from the $5,-
000.000 emergency fund provided by
the president.
These loans were limited to $3 on
acre for not to exeeeit 100 acres and
credit was exhausted by reason of two
successive crop failures on account of
drought. Tho money was for tRn pur-
chase of seed for fall planting. At the
customary rate of seeding—two to
three peck* of wheat per acre in the
dry countries—this loan was sufficient
to purchase enough seed wh«’at to sow
more than a million acres that other-
wise might not have beea seeded.
