Those Of us who criticised Mr. Peary

be the more ready to render tribute to
the true discoverer Of the north pole.
While personally not for long deceived
by the Cook claims, I, like the majority
Of other newspaper men who wrote on
the subject, regarded Peary's stric-
lures on his rival as ungenerous and
in bad taste. Subsequent events have
to some extent justified him, or Mt least
have shown his provocation. When
one has worked twenty-three years for
a certain thing and at last has attain

actually known concerning it.. A
coast line has been discovered, and
this is supposed to be the shore of

high and practically inaccessible
mountain ranges. This uncertainty as

CROSS WALKS
CITY WILL BEGIN CoNSTRUC-
TloN OF CRoSS-WALKS AND
STREET INTERSECTIONS SOON

Il know that there Is considerable
dissatisfaction over the condition Of
our cross-walks in the city and es-
pecially in wet weather is the fact
painfully noticeable said Commis-
sioner Burnitt this morning when
it was suggested that some OF the
citizens were kicking, but on ac-
count of the decision of the supreme
court regarding the $4,000 street
Improvement which was vO,di for
the purpose of paving street in
tersections and putting in street
and alley crossings being declared
unconstitutional ON account of the
streets not being public utilities,
according to the sense of the con
stitution, We are left no alterna-
tive except to put the machinery
of law in operation and assess street
and alley crossings to the quarter
block as the law provides, in this
maner We can get cross walks This
we have been reluctant to do, on
account of the stringency of the
times and on account of the bur
den that the people already are
bearing with sidewalk and other
taxes. 1t has come to the point when
we feel that We are compelled to
proceed along the line set forth in
this law, as the board Of commits
sioners recognize the fact that
street and alley crossings are as
necessary as sidewalks, while the
amount on each property owner will
be small, to place the walks accord
ing to law, we do not believe it
will be legal for the city to place
them and pay for them out of the
general fund, thereby causing the
citizens at large to bear the burden
when many OF them in outlying dis
tricts would receive no benefit from
it. We are now working on plans
to give the desired relief and we
hope in the near future to begin
general street crossing construc-
ton in the city taking in the prin-
cipal streets and avenues first.
On account of the large amount of
constructive work which we have
Eone in the last year and a half,
it has been impossible to get to
many things at the very instant they
were needed. We must ask the peo-
pie to be patient, give us credit
for what we have done, if it is
good, be optimistic for we are go
ing to have just as good crossings
as we now have streets and side
walks.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
1Hey Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of applicants do not even sus-
pect that they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has probably been
more successful in relieving and cur
ing these diseases than any remedy
known. The mild and healing inf!u
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record Of cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
Iy an herbal compound and We would
advise our readers who feel in need
of such a remedy to give 1t a trial.
II is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes-fifty-cents and one
dollar.
However, if you wish first to test
the preparation, the manufacturers
will gladly forward you a sample bot
tie by mail, absolutely free. Address

CITIZENS TALK ON
TOWN BUILDING
ENTHUSIASTIC M ETING or
BOOSTERS AT COURT HOUSE
LAST NIGHT CRUCE TALKS.

| There was rousing citizens meet
ing at the court house last night and
some of the old time Ardmore spirit
was manifested.
The newly elected president of the
commercial club, Mr.. Kirk Dyer, pre-
sided and outlined his proposed poll
cies for the upbuilding of the city,
in accepting the office Mr.. Dyer stat
ed that he expected the hearty CO.
operation of every citizen of the city
and county and pledged himself to
use every faculty he possessed TO the
betterment of Ardmore. He then call
ed upon Mr.. A. G. Grahama, the dis
trict agricultural agent in charge Of
this district for an expression of his
views. Mr.. Graham delivered a short
talk on the advances made in the
farming industry of this county and
district within the past two years.
He also eulogized the county commits
sioners for their efforts in behalf of
good road building
Chas. Won Weiss was called and
got interesting at once on the subject
of town building. He stated that the
time had arrived when the people of
this city should get together and quit
knocking and pull together. He said
that the election was a thing of the
past now, and that democrats, repub'
licans and everybody SHOULD narhon-
ize on this movement.
w. B. Johnson entertained he au'
dience with a speech that fairly hrist'
led with good suggestions. He took
up the matter of town building and
told some painful truths why AID
more had not progressed more rapid
ly. He handed the knockers a few
stiff blows, and advised them if they
could not say anything good about
the town to keep still, or better yet,
if the city didn't suit them to move
away.
Governor-elect Lee Cruce next told
the audience what was required to
make Ardmore a larger and better
town to live in. He told of the early
struggles of this city for commercial
supremacy, of the organization of the
commercial club and how Ardmore
arose, Phoenix like, out of the ashes
of the great fire, and admonished ev-
cry citizen present to work in har-
mony today as they did then and Ard
more would be a city Of $4,000 in
less than five years.
The meeting was closed by boost
ing speech from j. r, Pennington who
talked along the lines expressed by
the previous speakers.
The meeting was the most largely
attended of any ever called by
the commercial club, every seat in
the house was occupied and many
were compelled to stand. Mr.. Dyer
stated last night that he was greatly
encouraged by the demonstration and
predicted a great future for Ardmore.
