Much Inaulry Abroad.

Engineer Chaster b. Davis, who
travels extensively over the South
west, says he meets many people who
want to know of Ardmore and says
that Ardmore has a fine reputation
abroad This is due, he attributes, to
our people sticking together and at
tending to their own business and
letting others alop Mr. Davis has
great faith in Ardmore's future.

In the city-Pressure Now On.

In the city-Pressure Now On.
The Ardmorelte stated Monday that
the pumps had been set to work and
that water was then flowing through
the water mains. Maybe we were a
little premature-say we were-we
were conscientious In what we said,
and If the pumps did refuse TO work
at first, they finally yielded to a 1T
tie persuasion and the result is that
the mains now have pressure in
them sufficient to fight fire anywhere
In the city where the department can
get TO water plug. The water will
continue to be pumped up until the
water tower Is full when It will be
cut on from the tower, leaving II full,
and the direct pressure will then be
continued until the water mains can
stand a pressure Of 15O pounds to the
square inch.
If there be no defects in the pipe
the pressure will then be reduced to
just what the water tower will give.
which is "a pounds pressure at the
courthouse and n pounds at white
man Bros store. corner Main street
near the union depot
The top of the water tower is 1860
feet above sea level and IFS feet
above the level OF the Santa Fe track
at Whiteman Bros II is 1856 feet
above the level of the ground at Har.
grove College and the pressure at that
point will be 60 pounds 20 the square
inch.
Mr.. DAVIS said that Ardmore had a
magnificent waterworks system, there
being nothing better in the South.

The weather permitting MIR. Davis
said the final test would be made in
a couple of days -r
In the meantime Mr.. Davis said that
the fire department could use 1t for
fighting fire.

Mr.. HEARST EoR PRESIDENT.

THE HERALD has received a copy Of
/ the special Hearst edition of the
Labor Compendium. published at St.
Louis. Pages 4. 5. 6. Z and one or two
other pages are devoted to the further
ance of Mr.. Hcarsts candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nomination in
1904 Much as we might like to. We
cannot join in the Compendium's enthu
siastic call on Mr.. Hearst to lead the
party. Nor do we believe there is any
great demand, outside Of Mr.. Hearst's
own newspapers and the journals con-
troIled by him, for mis- nomination.
1t is a good. safe, homely rule which
says, Try your horse before you buy
him" Mr.. Hearst might make an ad-
mirable president of the United States,
but we have no definite assurance that
he would He has had no experience
whatever in public life, unless his ex-
perience I'm the semi-public position Of
newspaper proprietor can be so classed.
In 1907 Mr.. Hearst was elected to the
lower house Of the national congress by
a large majority.
He has not as yet taken his seat
in that body so that he is practically
an unknown quantity. Some men who
seem very large in private life dwindle
into insignificance when the fierce lime
light of public opinion is turned upon
them. tt may not be so OF Mr.. Hearst,
but then again it may be. We can
not tell until after he has been tried.
The Democratic party has not reached
such straits that it. is obliged to pick
up practically raw material There are
men who have been much longer in the
confidence of the party than Mr.. Hearst
and who have been and are now much
higher in the party's councils. 1t is
not necessary to name them here for
their names win suggest themselves to
the reader.
We do not believe Mr.. Hearst can be
nominated next year. And what is
more to the point. we do not believe
he could be elected if he were nomi-
mated. The sooner ne is eliminated from
the political equation the better it will
