ALL SHOULD HELP.
TJECAUSE this has been peculiarly a people's war, it is im-
pnrtant tint ill the people should assist in tin campaign
f ir United War rk funds which marks ill close. There is
no American but has frirndi in the expeditionary force, and
among the troops in cantonments at home. And every
American civilian owes it to hit friends in service and to
their comrades to see thai they aren't neglected, just be
cause they whipped Germany quicker than the world thought
they could. Rather, our payment should be the more gen
erous; a thanksgiving offering as well as an honorable ob
ligation. With the drive for fundi near a finish, men of wealth
are expected to bear the burden. Certainly they should not
shirk their share of it. It is worse for the man of p'enty
to dodge his duty in this matter than it is for the one of
humble means, to whom every crnt given means something
of sacrifice. Hut it d es not follow that the poor shoti'd
shirk payment. On the contrary, they shou'd be proud to
te on the list, and humiliated through failure to attain
such enrolment. After all, the big sacrifices hae been
made over there, and it is fitting that those at home shoiil I
welcome such small sacrifices, as are asked o' them.
After while, a long while, perhaps, those sold.ers ate
coining home, and that happy day will prove a sorry occa
u jn to those who neglected to back our troopi when barking
is needed. It is needed now, and to a greater extent, so
far as these helpful organizations arc concerned, than it
wai brfore the signing of the armistice. No man at a'l
familiar with military matters can question that, and
rven the veriest ignoramus should be able to u-i lerstan I
t. The excitement of battle gone, the purpose for which
they went accomplished, there comes increased desire to
trturn to America. Also, with the occupation of fighting
ended, there is more time for homesickness, or worse.
We cannot waft them home on a magic carpet, but the
uirardry of a little generosity on our part, plus th endles
effort of those organisations which want to help, can make
Ihe prolonged jo;oimii n l uro o rn Itirah'e and more; tail
makt it interesting ;n I re il'v helpful to many in cur
unlet.
Vou may not know thai t':e itional woik condu ted
I y these organisations is of it-rli of tremendous benefit to
many of the -soldiers. Hut il has enabled many to attain
ilie rudiments of an education denied them in childhood,
and helped more fortunate ones to continue or expand their
educational work, while attending to the Hun.
But that is but a single phase of the work which touches
the life of the soldier at every angle, and makes it better;
which has helped in large measure in making our army
ihe finest fighting force ever assemblrd under any banner
in all the ages. To stop or hamper such work whi'e the
army remains in s-rvice, is to strike a blow at that army,
and surely only a slacker would stoop to that.
SQUEEZING THE PAPER.
T7EW industries have been harder hit by the war than the
newspaper business. In many ways publishers have
felt the restrictions brought about by wholly unprecedented
conditions, but perhaps the greatest trial has been the print
paper problem. Of this product there is a widespread
shortage due to several causes, which have forced the re
duction of size of newspapers. This company, for instance,
had its allowance of paper reduced by at) order issued in
September from .150 to 298 tons per month, which amounts
to a reduction of IS percent on the daily and 20 percent on
Sunday papers.
Later the fituation was still further complicated by an
order issued by the war industries board which made an
order from that company necessary to the shipment of any
car of paper. Because of this curtailment of supply, it has
beert necessary to reduce the sire of the paper, and readers
are asked to be patient until readjustment, following the
war, brings relief.
Some of the factors in causing this paper shortage are
the conversion of paper mills to munition plants, the en
listment of loggers and other workers engaged in the in
dustry, and the use of materials, essential to the paper in
dustry, in manufacturing munitions.
Put, just as other restrictions to other industries are
being steadily removed, so it is probable that Improvement
in paper production will come, though not sqon. Until it
arrives, it will be necessary to squeeze the paper; to con
dense the news, and resort to other spare-saving measures
not entirely satisfactory to readers or publishers, and a
little patience on the part of the public during that time
:if inconvenience will be appreciated.
THAT GUILTIEST FEELING
Br BRIGG3
With a republican congress and a democratic adminis
tration, it may also be a good idea to have an armistice or
something like' that in Washington next year.
Although he has quit fighting, there doesn't seem to be
much chance that the kaiser will win the Nobel peaie
prize.
If the fart that it is badly needed has any influence,
there should be no great difficulty in securing a new union
staiion for Oklahoma City.
It is also apparent that those flirting with the cotton
market haven't felt as peaceful as the rest of ti e worl I
here recently.
Stiff success in Oklahoma cost only $25 (VO, but it is
hoped that this low figure won't cause women to regard
the ballot as a low and worthless trifle.
Thete is talk of a contest of the senatorial el-ciion in
Michigan, talk being cheap and Henry Ford not dispose I
to fritter away his money in politics.
A six billion dollar tax, now advocated by Secretary
McAdoo, is a great reduction of the eight billion dol'ar
measure intended if the war had continued, but there il
possibility of further shrinkage. Mr. McAdoo is such a
firm believer in getting enough that be frequently goes over
the estimates. The senate knows this, and may be disposed
to do a little more paring than the secretary suggested.
Queen Wilhelmina has been isked to abdicate, but the
dispatches fail to say whether or not this is due to the
fact that ihe let the kaier in the back door.
There is something wrong with the logic that one man
can run a street ear as efficiently a- two. The one man
street car may be suitable to a nine o'clock town, all of
which is within walking distance" of the clanging marts,
but it will never be a satisfactory system for a city. Per
haps the scarcity of man power is handicapping the local
traction company, but it might try women conductoreltei
before resorting to tank town tactics.

Announcement that the allies are going to crush the
Russian bolshevik! is encouraging. Nor should it be so
difficult. Although bloody enough when they have things
their own way, the bolsheviki are not noted as fighters,
bring disposed to run a war on the same plan as a joint
debate. Put Russia has no monopoly on that brand of wild
eyed wickedness. In Germany, Austria, and finally in Hol
land, the same element is disposed lo disturb the peace, and
it may take the allies longer to crush this menace than
now seems apparent. However, the allies have the ad
vantage of an excellent crusher, and Von Hindenburg wll
furnish testimonials to prove it, if the bolsheviki is skep
tical I . .
