case and prophesies that II viii prove
blessing for the railroads. Coming
from one so high I'm railroad circles
this opinion, which is ,grea'ly at vari-
ance with the gloomy predictions Of
other railroad officials, is indeed re-
freshing. He says;
There is nothing surprising nor
alarming in the decisions handed
down by the interstate commerce COM
mission in the railroad rate cases.
Properly viewed. there is much that
is reassuring TO real owners Of rail-
road shares holding them FOR invest
ment and income. The law Of 1857
creating the commission placed the
burden If proof as to rates being too
high upon the complaining shippers.
''The present law Of 1910. however
puts upon the railroad companies the
burden Of proving 10 the satisfaction
of the commission that their rates are
too low. The commission has decided
the railroads have not proved their
case.
These decisions of the commission
have distinctly bettered the plight Of
the real owner Of railroad shares who
held them for investment:
First, by settling vexed question
which has Tor year Of more engaged
too much Of the attention Of railroad
men to the neglect Of their other du-
ties; second, in stopping claims by
labor for further advances in wages,
which would surely have eaten up the
larger part OF any net money which !
could have been derived from such adj I
vanccs had they beeen allowed, and /
lastly. in putting an end for a long
time to come to claims by shippers for
anything approaching to a general re-
duction In Interstate freight rates.
"one cannot read these decisions
without realizing that the commission .
is now practically committed % an
endorsement Of existing interstate .
rates as being reasonable and Just. In .
so far as this promises what for years
has been the dcsideratum Of all con-
sentative railway managers, the con-
tinued maintenance for long time
to come Of existing schodules-it
speaks volumes for the future pros
perity of our railroads"

THE LoRlMER CASE

Tho Lorimer case has been so wide
" advertised that everybody at all in
telligent knows that Lorimer ought 10
be kept out Of the Senate; knows he
is not a fit man for the chamber;
knows that his case has marked a
most acceptable time for establishing
the precedent OF excluding men on
the general ground Of their undeslr-
ability.
If. then, Lorlmer shall not be ex-
cluded, when the publc's mind is so
thoroughly made up that he ought to
be excluded, what will follow?
The public at the next opportunity
in about half score Of States. will
fan upon and destroy the senatorial
careers Of at least that many men who
will have voted TO keep Lorlmer in the
Senate.
Let that prediction be marked and
recorded.
The public may not be able 10 fol-
low the mathematical computations or
the delicate legal distinctions Of
Senator Bailey; but Il knows what IL
wants, and as sure as Lorimer shall
be given new title to his seat, so sure
ly will an outraged public sentiment
burst forth in protest against the men
who have made his victory possible.

A PROGRESSIVE BARBER.
Things Look Inviting at the Roberts
Barber Shop.

More than 81 years ago Tom Rob
erts entered the barber business in
Ardmore. He had a one-chair shop
in side-room of which the roof was
so low that it could be reached with
the hand of man of ordinary
height. Today the same Tom Rob-
erts has a six-chair shop in the Green
building adjoining the First National
bank and the shop he occupies today
is probably the prettiest one in the
whole state.
The shop has been remodeled and
was opened yesterday at the noon
hour. The awning in front is of the
newest design, the large French plate
glass front, the marble ceiling, the
hase boards, the perfect lighting, the
modern equipments all combine to
make it beauty spot in the city. It's
a pleasure to see the new shop, it's a
pleasure to have work done there, and
Mr.. Roberts deserves commentator
for his progressiveness. It's one Of
the moves that makes a city out of a
town. B. H. Corlew, a home contrac-
tor, designed and superintended the
improvements.

of the sun and stars. He called atten'
ton to the fact that Article 5 OF
Section 10 Of the city made 1t abso'
lutely mandatory upon the city treas
urer to require every bank in which
the city's funds were deposited to
pay not less than 2 per cent on the
daily balance ON said money belong
ing to the city and prohibiting the
city treasurer from keeping any mon
ey in any bank that would not make
such allowance of interest. He stated
that Mr.. Cotner's claim of saving
the city this $4,000 in interest was
only excelled by his claim that he
reduced the tax rate of the city three
mills and the assessment of the city
property 20 per cent. He said that
by the act of the state legislature
in extra session called by Governor
Haskell last spring had by law re-
duced the tax rate throughout the
state of Oklahoma three mills, but
that he supposed Mayor Cotner
thought that this law did not apply
to the city of Ardmore until by his
declaration it had been put into
force. The speaker stated emphat
ically the mayor had not saved the
city the tax rate of three mills or
any other sum and that he had alb.
solutely nothing to DO with the as
sessment as that had been in the
hands of the city assessor, who had
fixed values as it was his duty to do
without consulting the mayor and
that the assessment was not known
by the mayor or the board until the
footing had been turned in by the as
SCISSOR and the mayor upon learning of
the decrease wanted and urged
blanket increase of 20 per cent, which
the speaker opposed. He also en-
phatically stated that the mayor had
not only not saved the city $4,000
interest on the deposits of the city,
but that he had failed to save the
city interest on time deposits which
1t was his duty to save by seeing
to it that the city treasurer placed
the large sums of bond money upon
time deposits.
Mr.. Dawson concluded his remarks
by saying that he mas served the
people two years as commissioner
and that he believed in progress, he
wanted to progress from the office
of water commissioner to that of
mayor. That he beneved that he
could give the city the best and
cleanest administration of any mayor
that they had ever had with the
