The ship subsidy bill put
through the Senate last week is
nothing but simple stealing from
the poor to give to the rich with
no pretense of disguise or denial.
1t had the support of Taft and
won by the vote of Vice Presi.
dent Sherman on a tie vote of
the Senate. With no exception
the Democrats voted solidly a
eainst it. One Democrat Sena-
tor, Watson. of West Virginia.
failed to be present and vote
with his party at the proper time
and he is being fairly roasted by
his party. Several Insurgent
Republicans voted with the Dem
Ocrats.
The Clay City times., 1911-02-16

W. A. Dodsworth, business
manager of the New York Jour-
nal of Commerce testified before
the House Ship Subsidy Commit
tee that the shipping interests
had offered 100000 for the edi-
torial influence of his paper. The
journal of Commerce carried it
seems lot of advertising for the
grsfters but refused to sell their
editorial policy. The new Dem.
ocratic Senator from West Vir-
ginia must have come out fine if
the grafters are paying that much
for support.

Kentucky has a law against
gambling, but such must lose all
its respect when the papers are
telling of the gambling on the
identity of prisoner at Lexing-
ton last week when the ex-Coun-
ty Judge and the Sheriff took the
lead. Crap shooters are being
pulled and fined every day. One
Of these forms is just an honora-
BILE as the other. The only diff
ference Is we expect better of
the officers of the law and we do
rot the crap shooters.

The pressure has been so great
Oh Mr.. ii. q. Garrett that he
has decided to make the race for
Railroad Commissioner from this
the Bird district, and has issued a
card making known that decis.
ion. Mr.. Garrett is a native of
tn.s county, anG as his assured
nomination is equivalent to an
election advance congratulations
from his old home county are
pouring in.

Teddy comes out square for the
election of United States Sena-
tors by popular vote. The Dem.
ocrats have been demanding this
method of their election for
years, the Republicans opposing.
Every good plank in the q. D. p.
platform has originated in the
Democratic party and w. j. Bry-
an is the real designer of most all
of them.

When we knock against the in
decent hog on the streets of Clay
City we are not knocking against
the Mayor or city council. We
have been right there and know
they are up against a hard prop
osition. The hogs have been al
lowed to run at lsrge already too
long. A clean town is attract
i've, but what can be said of a
dirty town. No one cares to live
in such place any longer than
they can get away.
The Clay City times., 1911-02-16

Muddy roads in the country
and muddy hogs in the city is
an unsightly appearance which
We must bear if we live in Clay
City and we are expecting to
stay here for some time at least
and keep on a knocking and
hammering away on these and
other evils, until there is sign
of a reformation.
The Clay City times., 1911-02-16

The Republicans who so loyal

they see. a Democratic Legislator
walk off with a few hundred
thousand for supporting the same

New York Republicans and the

afraid lest the Democrats may

We were asked the question
the other day if the Christian
church yard was going to be put
in potatoes as it was apparently
ready for some crop. BY all
means let us rid our town of the
roofing hogs.

The prospects of Democratic
legislation is bright. When the
Steel Trust cuts the salary of its
president to $4,000 a year it

DAYS SESSION IN
DISTRICT COURT
JURY BEING DRAWN IN THE
WASHMooD MURDER CASE -
SLOW PROGRESS MADE.

In the district court this morning
the trial of A. Washmood for the
killing of Ben Collins, was begun.
The entire morning was spent in
selecting jury, and at the time of
going to press only seven had been
secured out of over forty examined.
The chances seems to be against
securing the panel today, and in all
probability a greater part of tomor-
row will be devoted to this task,
This promises to be one of the hard
ess fought cases ever tried in this
court, and the interest extends not
only to this state, but to various
points in Texas as well.
Washmood, throughout. maintains
his composure, and seems the least
affected of any in the court room.
He is man of good address and is
in frequent consultation with his at.
torneys.

There has been a misunderstanding
as TO my withdrawal from the race
for commissioner of the Third ward,
and | desire to make this correc
tion.
On last Tuesday at the suggestion
of my friends | entered into an agree
ment with l.. G. Shelton, one of the
candidates for commissioner from
the same ward, that we would get
the sentiment of the people from the
Third ward as to which one of us
should continue in the race against
T. c. Bridgman, the administrat on
candidate, and it was agreed that it
might be left to the first > voters
from that ward, and Mr.. Shelton
ard | each selected man to get an
expression from these voters. These
men returned with AS votes, 20 for
Shelton and II for me, and turn
ed in my withdrawal to the county
election board, and was satisfied
with the test.
The next day different parties
came to me and represented that
there had been a package handed
me-" and | was told that people from
other wards voted, and was led to
believe the contest was not fair,
but upon an investigation | found
that there was no trickery used and
that the men who conducted this test
were both supporters of mine and
that there was nothing unfair about
it, and then was willing to stand by
my agreement with Mr.. Shelton as
nave always carried out my agree
ments.
Since it seems from the test vote
that the majority of the voters from
the third ward were in favor OF Mr.
Shelton, | am satisfied with the out
come, and desire to say 10 my
friends that / am going to support
Mr.. Shelton and do all i can to hell
elect him as | agreed to do.

CITY ENGINEER
GETS HONORS
L. J. MYERS APPOINTED ON I'M.
PORTANT COMMITTEE BY Or
GANIzATlON OF OFFICIALS.

City Engineer l.. J. Myers received
a letter from George w. Tilson, city
engineer of New York City, and presi-
dent of The Organization of City Of
ficials" for standardizing street paw
ings and specifications, notifying him
of the fact that he had been appoint
ed a member of the committee on vitri-
fed brick paving. This committee is
second in importance to be appoint
ed by the convention. The most inn
portant committee is that of the com
mittee on asphalt paving.
Ardmore has the honor of being the
only city in Oklahoma to have a rep
resentative at the convention held in
New York last January, and as she
was the smallest city represented in
the convention, it is quite compli'
ment that her delegate should be pick
ed to serve on such a committee.
This is only one OF the many point
ers that speaks we'll for the progres,
siveness of the city administration.
The next annual convention will be
held at New Orleans next February,
and Ardmore will be represented at
that time.
The other members of this commit
tee to which Mr.. Myers was chosen
are the city engineer, Grand Rapids,
Mich, city engineer indianapolis, Ind,
city engineer Boston, Mass, city engi-
neer Dayton, Ohio. Thus it will be
seen that Ardmore is ranked pretty
high among the city engineers of the
larger cities of the union.
