LOYALTY.

Loyalty? It's a WOnueGlul tulhS
in the average newspaper office.
The man VINO is loyal 10 his paper,
be he chief or the host humble en-
ploye, is the man worth while. In
no other walk of life do We find
men who will work longer hours,
give more of the real manhood with
in them, than the average newspaper
man. There's a reason for this-one
veason, at least-and that is self sat
isfaction, the desire, the feeling OF
glow, that sweeps over every EN-
ploye when his paper does something
a bit better than its rival.
If a man is not loyal he is not
true to the thing he undertakes. The
proper spirit of loyalty supplies
poise, purpose, power, ballast, and
works for health ami success.
The man who is loyal to his en-
ployer gives nature big boost.
Nature never did care for slipshod or
indifferent man. Nature, being a
strange affair, takes it for granted
that the Indifferent man does not
care and treats him accordingly
If you are not loyal you are 60
ing TO fail Don't cheat. Don't let on
you are loyal. Don't make bluff.
BE loyal, feel loyal. then you won't
have to act loyal. You must have
the fabric of loyalty woven into
your very being, let 1t intermingle
with your blood.
The menial Is the man who is dis
loyal TO his work. who smooths over
mistakes, who does not take his pa
per's mistakes as his own.
We'll, thank goodness, it was not
my mistake is a poor policy. Your
papers mistakes are your mistakes
If you have the right spirit of 10y
atty. II a co-worker fails If he
trips and stumbles it's your busi-
ness to see that he is helped out Of
the rut so your paper may go on to
prosperity.
The poorest excuse for a man is
the chap who wears the dial off
the clock watching for the quitting
hour.
There is no chance for me. Every
one Is against me" IS common
complaint in many large newspaper
offices. The man who makes this
whine is right Every one IS against
him, he himself being the leader.
Pass up the whine and add tha
great lubricant Of life, loyalty. You
can preserve your balance and make
results cumulative. The man who is
doyal TO his work is never perplexed
or filled with doubts.
We have iails, asylums and santa

There is nothing farther from the
truth, than the oft heard remark, that
"Ardmore is sure 10 come after a
while; a place with such wonderful
natural advantages cannot long re-
main at a stand-still." Nothing could
be imagined that is so far from the
truth.
Natural Advantages never mace
city in the word; never produced
a respectable sized-community; never
produced commercial or industrial ac-
tvity. The industrial centers are usu-
ally far removed from the source of
supply of raw material. What is it
then that builds cities and CONNER
cial centers? CITIZENSHIP.
Citizenship, of the proper kind, Will
build metropolis upon the desert
plains. Natural Advantage" never
built anything Citizenship over
comes and brushes aside obstacles; !;
Natural Advantages" looks for a con.
venient route around obstacles. Citi-
zenship strangles pessimism and en-
thrones beautiful optimism upon the
pedestal of practical action, while
Natural Advantages" is a doubling
and waiting and negative equation.
Citizenship shouts, Il WILL" While
NATURAL Advantages" waits for a ia
vorable opportunity.
Which proposition will Ardmore ac-
cept? The one that she has started
out upon, or the other, which is now
at hand, if the citizenship of the city
Is equal to the emergency. Either ac-
cept the opportunity now, or cease
wondering what the matter is and he
content with the results that your
own folly and criminal negligence is
directly responsible for.
The instances are so numerous
that it is practically universal, where
a community without anything to rec
ommend it suddenly becomes me
tropolis; it is only necessary to cite
an instance right at home. Ten years
ago. Ardmore was the largest and
best city in either old Oklahoma OF
the Indian Territory. Where is she
now? Why is she where she now
finds herself? Answer the question
who will, and give the most alluring
sophistry to augment your contention
YOU cannot satisfactorily explain the
matter, even to yourself, in spite OF
your frantic efforts, without casting
some little reflection upon the citi
zenship of the city; nor can you ar
rive at any logical conclusion, thar

To Hell With Natural Advantages
"Citizensh;p" Is the Thing That Counts

that the citizenship of Ardmore is
wholly responsible for Its present
condition. Where a few short years
ago Ardmore was the best, the most
important and the largest city within
the boundary OF what now comprises
the state of oklahoma, she Is today
outstripped and out distanced by at
least six cities in the state.
1t cannot be said that these other
cities possessed greater natural ad-
vantages than Ardmore, that is not
true. Ardmore possesses greater
natural advantages than any one of
them, or any three of them COM
bined citizenship is responsible,
purely and wholly. But natural ad-
vantages don't do things" they are
a valuable adjunct when properly util-
ized but take them without citizen
ship, and they are as useless and i'm
practical as the widest dreams OF the
ancient Mr.. McCawber OF Dickens
creation.
What is the cure for this condition,
do you ask Get together and act as
a unit; go after things, and after
thorough investigation into the desir-
ability and advantageous character
of any proposition offered, if found
good. get II at whatever cost Do as
other successful cities do, GET 1T;
do as the greatest wonder of the age,
Oklahoma City does; don't be afraid
TO emulate her: she ought to be an
inspiration-nOt an object OF envy;
cease waiting for Natural Advan-
tages" to make good, help them make
good: they will never amount 10
tinker's cuss alone. Natural Advan-
tages" without citizenship is a curse
to any community. They are demor-
alizing, where they should be con-
structive: they are obstructive, when
allowed to continually occupy the
center of the stage. They must be
brushed aside sufficiently to permit
citizenship to AXE its proper place,
an then the two must proceed hand
in hand to a successful and prosper
GUS destiny. Cement the two fac
tors. and it will become irresistible;
until the two cannot be successfully
opposed but If they cannot be united,
drop the natural advantage fallacy
and assert the citizenship, and the
result will be a much augmented and
better Ardmore.
Now is the time; next month Will
not do. Other things must be attend
ed to then.
