THE FIGHT ON THE CONsTITU-
TION.

The Democrats have steadily
charged that the Republican ma
chine and it's candidates were
againstthe econstitution and state
hood, but the Republican speak
ers and papers have tried to deny
that they were fighting statehood
Their case was desperate, how
ever, and now that Taft has de-
clared for the defeat of the con-
stitution and with it statehood,
many of their leaders have
thrown away all pretense and are
coming out openly urging the
voters to tear down the statehood
flag and wait until a Republican
congress can take another whack
at us with a new enabling act.
If we ever get another chance at
statehood, the carpetbag and
corporation contingent will see
to it that the enabling act re-
strains our people from anything
like free. constitutional self gov
The same people who
put prohibition over the Indian
Territory and located the state
capital at Guthrie, would not
hesitate to pass a bill fixing the
rate of taxation, and assess
ment, providing a court pro
cedure, prohibiting the passage
of a separate coach or school
law and abridging the right of
the people to elect a railway
commission, or to adopt the in,
itiative and referendum.
The Republican federal party |
has learned something in this
Oklahoma case and that is that
the people Of these territories
viii have to be bound hand and
foot and robbed of their liberties
in the enabling act or they win |
wipe the carpetbaggers and the
Republican machine off the map |
when they get to vote.
For that reason the order has
gone out "strike down the cons
iitution. Get a new enabling
act and the next time you have
4 constitution written it will be
made up by persons who are not
70 patriotic and not so full Of /
he desire to exactly ascertain
he will Of the people. That is
vhst Taft said and Taft's speech
s the real Republican platform.

As predicted by the Ardmoreite
In its advance announcement OF the
opening ball OF the Elks. the event
gave Ardmore one OF the most bril-
liant evenings In its social history
and established a club prestige not
10 he eclipsed in any city in the
South. On the high road OF So
ciety there are many minor hap
penings that mark the progress OF
the social world. but the milestone
events, the real epoch-making do
ings are few and consequently
stand forth in the lime light OF
note and Importance not to be
denied. Such an event was the
Elks' opening OF the winter season
whose elegant portals were thrown
open Thursday evening by the
grand ball and banquet. The Elks
home is magnificent monument
to the splendid enterprise and civic
pride OF the organization which
bears its name, as well as TO tn,
social advancement OF Ardmore.

The Busy People Happiest.

Isn't busy lite blessing? ]
know there are times when we envy
the people who have no cares to
disturb their serenity, but that Is
because We do not stop TO consider
how vacant the world would seem
If We had nothing to do but loaf.
The busy people are not only the
successful ones in life, but the hap
piest ones. When you want a
thing done which is going to help,
do you 30 to those who have plenty
of time to devote TO 1t? Not II you
are wise and have done this sort
OF thing before. You go to the
busiest man or woman you can find.
What Is the result? The busy peo-
pie can always find time to do
something else Why? Because they
have learned the art of concentra'
ton and so can dispatch twice the
amount of work that can be ac'
complished by those who have neWr
had to reduce their work to sys'
TEN. The busy people are the bene
factors, the doers of the worlds
work, and the busier you find a
man or a woman the happier they
are and the more radiant good
cheer they diffuse around them.
BE glad you are busy Don't env,
the idle peoDle In the world FOL
drones are never welcome members
in any hive. You can always fine
plenty of congenial work, and you
reward comes with the doing.
