Editor O. The Ardmoreite:

If you will allow me space in your
valuable paper, | will just say TO the
public that they can now go up and
down Main and Caddo streets with
out being subjected 10 the insults and
the loud and profane language that
has been so common on those streets.
OF course the public blamcs the sher-
iff's force and the police force and the
constables for all this and they are
right and ! have just commenced n
crusade on that class of citizens
through the justice court that VIII
wipe it out aud expect to keep it up
until it is wiped out, we have just
| convicted the Hill brothers, negroes,
on East Main street in the old iron
store building for maintaining nui-
sance. they got fine and costs. have
also had Babe Garnett In Jail and his
place of business is now locked up, on
| the same charge of maintaining nul'
sance and allowing gang of loafers
and toughs to hang around his place
and on the sidewalks in front of his
place. | have notified these loafers
that unless they get off the sidewalks
and give room for the public to pass
and get to work that they will be land
ed on the county road gang for vag'
rancy. There is no reason why these
people should be out OF work, the
public works are begging for hands
all they can get, and pay sl.75 for ev
cry eight hours work. ! have also
notified all keepers of points and Other
places that they would be held res
ponsible for all these unlawful crowds
that loaf around them in the future

factory can rest assured that they vii
be protected from now on from the
disgraceful scenes that have occurred
across the street from them. And
will just say for the benefit OF those
fellows who loaf around the depot ant
on the block adjoining and on Caddt
street that they had better look littl,
out as II means them too. | hope NJ

nouncement made by close person
al friend of Speaker Cannon that
the insurgents TO displace him. has
brought conference of the inner
circle of the house regulars 1t was
Il purely informal gathering, not ex-
actly called by anybody, but began
in "a conversation in the cloak room
in which first one and then another
joined until there were a dozen men
who have stood by Cannon through
thick and thin.
I'VE must head the old man of"
one of the leaders said. "a few OF
the republicans are still bitter at the
insurgents. but most of US realize that
1t Is time to treat them with more
courtesy. They are trying now to
go on with the pending legislation.
Offering their help to be as anxious
for party harmony as the rest of US.
They have demonstrated that when
they set out to make trouble they
with the democrats there is no use
trying to deny that there are more
OF them than there are of us.
Cannon is a great leader, but there
Is a limit 10 what leader can do,
and he has no right to try to drive
us up against losing fights with other
republicans. who, after all, have
something to be said on their side.
Cannon may or may not heed the ad-
vice OF friends. Undisputed power
for years has made him hard loser,
and his best friends say he does not
know when he has had enough"
An interesting phase of develop
ments is the fact that in many cases
the men most eager to promote trou.
be on the side of the rcactionaries
are men who have lost or are losing
az home. For example. the Indiana
| reactionaries are eager for war. They
want the organization to throw the
insurgents out OF the party. because
in Indiana the insurgents are in CON
troll. A like condition exists in Ohio
When Murdock first announced that
the insurgents would let Speaker
Cannon bluff all he wanted to up to
| the time when legislation was dis.

the end OF the session, the demo
Gratis began to get uneasy. Champ
Clark, minority leader. suddenly be
came silent on the subject. II was
announced that Clark had checked III

OF Alabama. who Is sort of vice
leader of the minority, and that Tn

Underwood promptly served notice
ON all sides that If anybody was look

vision as complete as il can. All he
asked was that Cannon or the insur

NO AUTOMOBILE FOR CANNON

NO Az lOmOBllt FON SPNNoN'
To many people. the action of the
house in striking out the provision iof
automobiles for the vice president and
speaker may seem picayunish, says
tho Houston Post, but as Il matter of
fact sucn items ought not To be In
cluded in appropriation bills. An au-
tomobile is not essential To the dignity
of the speakcrship. If the speaker
think differently. why let him buy an
automobile for himself. I'm the first
and second terms OF Speaker Cannon,
when his popularity was unQuestioned
and public confidence In him had not
been shaken. he was frequently a pa
tron of the trolley cars and the fact
did not diminish his dignity, and 1t
is just as true that the vice president
managed To maintain his own equip
age without losing the regard of the
country.
II extravaganza Is ever to be rooted
from the government, congress must
first begin TO economize in its own
establishment. Public servants must
regard the traditional simplicity OF
the republic and avoid approprlatlne
money for their personal convenience
and comfort. Some very great men
have been president, vice president or
speaker and they managed to main
tain the dignity OF their positions
without drawing unnecessarily from
the public purse, and present-day Off
cials will make no mistake by follow
ing the examples of these illustrious
men.
II costs entirely too much money to
transact the business OF congress
There are scores or sinecurcs who's,

MUNICIPALITY MUST
KEEP STREETS in
GOOD CONDITION
Important Decision Rendered
by State Supreme COurt---
What is Official
Negligence

The Supreme Court of Louisiana
recently rendered the following de-
cision:
Charles W. Weinhardt vs.. City Of
New Orleans.
/. A municipality must keep it's
streets and sidewalks in a condition
sufficiently safe to enable pedestrians
to cross cutters at intersections with
out danger, and where it is customary
to have three planks, at a crossing
over a gutter, and through a failure
to keep the walk in order only one
plank is left across the gutter, this
failure constitutes negligence
2. The municipality must have had
sufficient time to make the needed re-
pairs in order to render it liable.
Abbott, Municipal Corporations, Vol.
2, 1921: 'The burden is on the de-
PENDANT to plead and prove that it
did not have sufficient time to make
the repairs before the injury was re-
received" Abbott, Vol. 8, 1929,
The city has failed to prove want Of
sufficient time.
The corporation must also have
notice of the bad condition of the
walk in order to render it liable, but
the neglect to make the repairs for q
considerable time gives rise to an i'm
plication which is considered a sufi.
Gent notice to make the city liable.
4. Notice to a councilman that 9
walk is in need Of repair is sufficient
notice to the city, for a councilman
is charged with a duty in regard tc
the repair Of streets.
