JUDGE RUSSELL STANDS FOR
ELIMINATION OF LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

Judge Stillwell II. Russell deserves
the commentator of every citizen OF
Carter county for the stand he has
taken for law enforcement. In the
trial of the injunction suits in his
court he has proven conclusively
that he is heart and soul for the
enforcement of the law. He does not
seek to hide behind doubtful construc-
tions OF the states to give the joint
keeper the advantage of the law.
And Judge Russell went further
he invited the citizens to make com
plant in his court against officers
who do not do their duty. He takes
the position that the sheriff and the
police force either one can rid Ard
more of every Joint it has and if
the people Of Carter county who
want law enforcement will take the
cue offered them by the district judge
there will be either a town without
a Joint, or there will be a complete
change in the county and city Off
cials.
The law on the statute books of
Oklahoma against the sale of iq-
uor is Just as sacred as the law on
the same books against theft, bur
glary or robbery and as far as the
law is concerned there should be
no difference in the manner in which
these laws are enforced. 1t is just
as natural for an officer elected by
the people to be guided by public
sentiment as it is for water to run
down hill and the enforcement of
the prohibitory laws in Carter coun-
ty depends upon the people If the
officer knows that pubic sentiment
is behind him, if he knows he will
no, be discredlted in his efforts to
enforce the laws, If the people prop
erly get behind the officials they
will stop the law violations of this
county. The way has been mapped
out very plainly by Judge Russell,
and the people have nothing more to
do than to carry out his suggestions
made from the bench. The same sug-
gestion was also given by him in
an interview published in the Adr-
moreite some weeks ago.

Passing Fanc;es
(BY REDYNS)

Smile, D. You, Smile.
When you're feeling way down in
the dumps and friends have gone
awry,
And your troubles seem to swamp
you. don't sit down old man and
cry;
Just bow your neck, and grit your
teeth; you'll get there after
while,
Show the world you're not a quit
ter, and smile, smile, smile.
'Tis hard indeed to come across, =
when you have got the hook"
From one you have befriended, but
It's written in the Book
That when you get it on the cheek
present the other one,
Just let him slam away; you smile,
for smiling's all the fun.
A hearty laugh, a pleasant smile, is
worth more here on earth,
Than all things, where of hearty
laughs and smiles there is a
dearth;
SO when a Crouch" comes up to you,
attempting to beguile.
With all his pessimistic views, just
smile, smile, smile.

SEPARATE AGRICULTURAL EH
HIBlT FROM RACE PROGRAM.

The county fairs which Hlyc hereto
fore been handled on a ilrEo scale
have proven failures from the sand
point of money making and the 2oo-
pie who subscribe stock in the as
sociation have been disappointed. Tee
failure was not due to the lack ot
interest on the part of the farmers
but for the reason that purses were
offered on races that the receipts
would not pay for. The county COM
missioners under statehood can give
some aid to an agricultural exhibit,
but the law authorizing this very
wisely provides that no admission
fees shall be charged
Carter county will have an agri-
cultural exhibit whether it has fair
or not and the sensible thing TO do
Is to prepare for this agricultural
exhibit in downtown district,
where a building can be secured for
the xhibits of products and pieces
of art, etc, and where a vacant lot
is in proximity where livestock can
be exhibited The cost of the fair,
outside OF the prizes will be very
small II a driving club desires to

FOR COMMISSIONER
ASKS THE SUFFRAGE OF THE
PEOPLE TO BE THEIR REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

j. l.. Wilson has entered the polltl'
cal arena and has announced his can
didacy for the office of commissioner
from the Third ward Mr.. Wilson's
name has been mentioned for some
time in connection with his candidacy
for this office, but he has resisted an
nouncing until yesterday. 1t is abso-
lutely unnecessary for man like j.
l.. Wilson to come before the people
with a platform. The nine years he
has spent in this city is proof con
elusive of the kind of official he wouln
make. He is a man who is always
busy, he is always painstaking and
fearless and honest in his business
dealings with the people and as an Of
fetal he would be an ideal man for
the office he seeks. Mr.. Wilson has
built up a good business in this city
from small beginning which shows
his resourcefulness and the same at
tention that has been given his own
earnings would be given to the rev
enues of the city. If elected the peo-
pie may rest assured that they have
man who will make a worthy Off
Ger as he has been a worthy citizen.

holders. The people have right to
know. They have a right to know who
they have a right to know how much

money is collected for the sinking

where this money is; they have
right to know how much money has
| been spent for water meters and
they have a right to know whether
saving was effected by that pur-
chase; they have a right to know
| how much water revenue is derived
from the plant each month and for
what the money is used; they have
| right to know what obstacles
have kept the police from enforc-
ing the prohibition law; they have
right to know whether fines in
the municipal court have been
placed so low that it amounts to
the licensing of crime; they have
right to know that the money
voted for improvements of parks

have a right to know why thousands
of dollars were invested in street paw

Donates to Boys Corn Club.

NJ NJ. Bright, cashier of the Fort
Worth State Bank, who formerly lived
in this city, and who still owns prop
erty in Ardmore and is interested in
the progress of Ardmore and Carter
county, has added $3.50 to the Boys
Corn club prize money. In his brief
letter, characteristic of the man, he
states that he believes the corn grow
ing movement is worth a vast deal to
the people of Carter county and asks
that his sum be added to the prize
money. The gift of Mr.. Bright should
be an encouragement to Carter coun-
ty people to give more literally to
this fnud. Our people and especially
the boys of the county will appreciate
Mr. Bright's interest in his old home
town.

Your city is the best one, why not
boost it?
'Tis easier by far than try to knock
it,
On the one hand you are praised,
on the other you are razed,

Some hearts very close to well-filled
pockets lie,
And when approached their owners
oft will shy,
But when property goes g.immering.

They say the town is dead, and
wonder why.

don't tell on us.
