THE FATE Of
THE JOY RIDERS
PROSP PECTlVE-BUT SURE RE-
SUIT OF FATE-THE MAN OF
THE WEST!

Here's what the chief justice OF
the highest tribunal in the world has
to say about Joy riders" and reck
less speeders of automobiles and 9th
er vehicles, and be it said in passing
that same may take place in Ardmore
some day unless this reckless driving
is stopped.
The following article appears un'
der Washington date line and is
very expressive, to say the least:
Chief Justice White and Associate
Justice Harlan are two of the great
est pedestrians in Washington. They
are both companions, and any day,
after the adjournment of the supreme
court, they can be seen walking down
Pennsylvania avenue at a pace which
would have done credit to most en-
ergetic member of the now defunct
Tennis Cabinet"
A few days before Justice White
was made chief justice and while his
old friend Harlan was still presiding
officer of the court, the two judges
started to walk home. Justice Har-
lan's only discomfort is due to auto
mobiles. He mates an automobile
worse than Champ Clark hates the
protective tariff.
As the two jurists were crossing
a street an automobile came whiz-
zing around the corner and Justice
Harlan was only saved from possible
injury by Justice White, who drag
ged him out of harms way.
Let me make prophecy re
marked Justice Harlan, after he had
recovered his breath.
Some day a real man from the
west, from the plains from that sec
tion of the country where men do
not permit other men to trifle with
their feelings-some day such man
will come to Washington. He will
walk down Pennsylvania avenue,
lust as you and ! are walking. AS
he starts across the street an automo-
bile will come bowling along at
breakneck speed and come within an
inch of taking off leg. 1t will be
an old story with the driver but a
new one with the man from the west.
That particular man from the west
will pull his shooting iron from his
pocket and fill the reckless driver
| full of holes. And, Judge though
am, | believe the man from the west
will get off scot free"
At the meeting of the city commits
sioners last night this matter was
thoroughly discussed and commits
sioner said that as there was an ordi-
nance covering this offense, he would
see that it was enforced in the future
and arrests would be made for fast
driving irrespective of who the par
ties were.

Probably as fine herd of beef
cattle as were ever placed on the
market here were bought from John
Holt few days past by w. A. Gi,
liam, the Main street grocer and
market man. The cattle are four year
old Hereford steers and are said by
those familiar with beef cattle to
be as fine as were ever brought
here. Mr., Gillian has the cattle on
feel and will butcher them for his
market as they are needed.
