GREATLY AT DlLAToRY MAIL
SERVlcE-oTHER NOTES.

Orr April 17-This thriving little
town has been comparatively shut
out from the rude world for the past
ten days, 50 far as news by mali

ed one days mail in that length Of
time. Your papers of the 10th, 1lth,
18th. 18Th and lith, reached here on
Wednesday. 18th Thursday no mail

failure Of the Ardmore mail to reach
Hewitt The roads must certainly be
| in a horrible condition, when but one
mail In a week could make the trip.
/ Il has been very annoying TO the
great number Of people who get their
mail here, and there are at least $50
heads OF families. The party who
carries the mail between this place
and Hewitt has not missed a single
trip, and the postmaster, Mr.. Hood
informs me that Mr.. Jack Malone
who has the contract to carry the
mail, Is one of the oldest and best
,arriers in Oklahoma and is alway,
on time

OWEN ANSWERS QUESTION
TELLS IN BRIEF WHY HE VOTED
FOR THE ALDRlcH BILL.
THAT OR NOTHING.

The following letter from Senator
Robert L. owen to a Tulsa citizen,
will no doubt be Of interest to many
Ardmoreite readers. The letter fol
lows:
Washington. d, c., April goth,
Mr.. Cyrus S. Avery,
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
My Dear Mr. Avery
In answer to your question why
voted for the Aldrich bill, | reply that
my speech, OF which | send you a
copy, fully explains 1t.
The reason in brief was the Aldrich /
bill was amended in accordance with |
the demands in a number Of impor- /
taut particulars; first. in striking out
railroad bonds. second. in preventing
the contraction of normal national
bank currency in excess of present
rule; third, in strengthening re-
serve cities, not to mention other less
important items.
The Aldrich bill Of course, did not
give the full measure of relief de-
sired, but it was that or nothing.
or course, | could have voted
against it merely on partisan grounds.
This should not be made a partisan
question. II the bill had depended on
my solitary vote | should have voted
for il. and | would not vote against
it merely as a partisan.
Only three democrats voted for II
in the senate. Teller, of Colorado; (;
Johnson of Alabama and myself but
all the other democrats voted for the
= Bailey amendment, which contained
e the same identical principles as the
, Aldrich bill with the sole exception
that treasury notes We're used instead
2 OF National Bank notes.
This feature was Identical with the
original bill which | caused to be In.
troduced in 1900. after which the Al
drich bill was patterned.
. But the National Bank notes under
| Nh' Hiuii'H Dlll are W All lhttHls anu
= purposes Treasury notes and are no,
: notes of private persons or private
: corporations in any true sense.
y | feel 1t to be my first duty as tn,
Senator from Oklahoma to get substar
J. tial results for our people and no
merely to play politics. II | can ge
the republican party TO serve Okla
homa ] shall do II and be thankful
II and ! am thankful TO President Roose
II welt for finally yielding to my praye
= and my continued argument when h,
II agreed last Wednesday with me t,
II stand for the removal of restriction

p We can now count on the secretar

attitude and the importance of this

THE LOST find
THEMSELVES
MoRMoNs FROM UTAH GOING TO
SEE THE BIG FLEET.
Since the '4os the Tide Of Civilization
Has Swept Past a Settlement Of
100 Persons-Just Learning
Something Of the World.

Salt Lake City. April 22.-Within a
fortnight 100 or more simple beings
will step out of the late '4Os into to-
day.
For nearly sixty years these quaint
folk have lived In remote parts of
Utah. They are the few who remain
OF the motley bands which followed
the Mormon prophet. Brigham Young,
across the plains from Nauvoo, ILL.,
Some were captains of hundreds"
or "ntties.'. Others were OF the rank
and file of the companies which jour
neyed In emigrant trains or pushed
handcarts from the Missouri river
across the apparently iuterminable
prairie to the Rock mountains and
to Zion
Some came as men and women, who
are now spending the twilight Of their
lives at toll. and others came as chill
dren, who today have only the vaguest
rccollections of the forbddng trip
over prairie and sagebrush desert.
Some are the offspring of those
whose bones lie bleaching beside the
"Emigrant way or are lost forever
in unmarked graves on the great
American plains.
These people are almost entirely ig-
norant OF the wondrous changes
which have been wrought in the west
since lSi7. They recount vague tales
OF territorial days when the redoub-
table Brigham set up his patriarchy
and, with his Nauyoo legion, openly
dehed the authority of the United
States. They remember the Iamanit.
es and the Danites The Utah eNpe-
diton under Colonel Albert Sidney
Johnson and the establishment of an
army post as Fort Douglas by General
Pat Connor are vivid in their
minds. Together with exciting mem
ories incident upon the early settle
ment OF Utah, these weird thoughts
OF the long ago completely filled the
little world in which the forlorn
saints" have lived.
But now these frugal souls are TO
enjoy a holiday
With the advent of a new people
Utah has changed. There is not a
man or woman in the state who does
not know that Uncle Sam has sent a
great fect OF battle ships half way
around the world For months the
main topic OF conversation has been
the long voyage OF the warships.
Gradually the latent germs OF coun.
irypride and patriotism which has be.
come almost moribund in some hearts
has been rejuyenated, and young and
old alike are determined to journey to
San Francisco 70 see the fleet.
The 100 will emanate from the long
ago into the now, For the first time
In their lives they will gaze upon ur
ban life, In the short space OF a few
days new scenes, new thoughts, new
desires, new hopes will be crowded
into their minds with a rapidty thai
will figuratiyely stun.

Sticking to a pisagreeable Job.

1t is the man who can stick to the
disagreeable job, do it with energy and
vim, the man who can force himself to
do good work when he does not feel
like doing tin other words, the man
who is master of himself, who has a
purpose, and who holds himself to that
aim, whether it is agreeable or dis
agreeable, whether he feels like it or
does not feel like it-that wins.
1t is easy to do what is agreeable, to
keep at the thing we like and are en-
thusiastic about; but it takes real grit
to try to put our whole soul into that
which is distasteful and against which
our nature protests, but which we are
compelled to do for the sake of others
who would suffer if we did not do it.
To go every morning with stout
heart and an elastic step, courage and
enthusiasm, to work which we are not
fitted for and were not intended to do,
work against which our very natures
protest, just because it is our duty,
and to keep this up year in and year
out, require heroic qualities. Success.
