TOLL OF DEATH.

Judge Highley, in Oklahoma City,
announces that he will fine speeders
more each time they appear before
him until the fine reaches 500. He
will make the speeding business so
expensive in that city that reckless
chauffeurs will quit the business. The
toll of death claimed by automobilists
in that one city has been two a week.
Children, without warning, have had
their lives crushed out, and drivers
have hurried on without even stop
ping to investigate or offer assist
ance.

EARLY COMPLETION OF STATE
CONFEDERATE HOME PRAC-
TICAllY ASSURED.

The state senate has transferred
ten thousand dollars from the main
tenance fund of the State Confeder-
ate Home to the building fund and If
the house takes the same action this
amount of money will be available at
once for use in completing the build
ing in this city.
After the plans had been made and
the construction work begun, 1t
seemed necessary to enlarge the
home and it is costing more money
than was at first contemplated. The
Confederates and Daughters of the
state have been very active in raising
funds and great credit is due them
for the success of the home, but at
best the work of gathering the funds
has been an uphill business and at
all times the board did not have the
funds on hand to make payments to
the laborers The appropriation will
complete the home, but the people
must raise three thousand dollars,
which the board borrowed to keep the
work going. The majority of this
three thousand dollars must be raised
by the people of Ardmore. They have
subscribed the money and local
committee should be able to raise the
amount with small amount of work
Judge Gait and w. T. Simmons,
both of whom spent several days at
the capitol since the legislature con
vened, make the statement that the
house will concur in the measure and
that the money will be available for
construction purposes.
This practically assures the early
completion of the home.

A rdnore Man Sets Ne,U Standard
Il, the Politics of the State

Lee Cruce has taken stand for
the enforcement of the law and has
taken a stand for the promotion OF
morality that will place him in a class
almost by himself as a governor OF
great state.
Politicians too often favor the man
with the bottle. Heretofore he has
been looked upon as the man VINO
went about with great many votes
in his vest pocket, prepared to de-
liver them to whom he chose. But
with the quickening of the public-con-
science that will come from the stand
Lee Cruce has taken, the man who
smells like a whiskey barrel will take
back seat in politics to the man
who does not drink to excess. The
man who pleads for votes with his
breath perfumed with liquor will wake
up on election day to find that he is
without influence.
No matter to what political party
a citizen belongs, he must take his
hat off to Lee Cruce for the work he
is doing in Oklahoma. He has made
new political standards and they are
healthful standards. They are stand
ards that promote right living and
clear thinking, they are the standards
that officers must live up to if the
confidence of the people is not abused
and their money wasted and their
laws ignored.
The man who possesses the moral
courage Lee Cruce has shown since
he was inducted into office is worthy
OF the highest office in the git OF
the American people.

THE MILLIONS OF NEW YORK.
One-Thirteerth Of the Nation Lives
in the Metropolis.

Enthusiasts in statistical problems
are deducting many quaint theories
from census returns concerning the
population of Greater New York,
Metropolitan New York, and Com
muting New York. Within thirty
miles of Times Square, which is,
virtually, the heart of Manhattan,
there are 6,Si6,9i7 persons.
The ardent statstcian, however,
extends his figures as far as com
muting tickets are issued by the
railroads, and not only counties in
New Jersey and Connecticut are in
cmded within the area but also
cities as far as Philadelphia. The
Pennsylvania and the Jersey Central
railroad both run every day several
trains for the benefit of Philadel-
phlans who desire TO spend the day
in New York. 1t appears that sew
erll trainloads of men, and some
women, who spend their nights in
Philadelphia, come regularly to New
York City six days in the week.
Therefore, if the actual commut-
ing area of New York be included
the figures certainly do represent
easily half of the population of the
United States.
Within the area of Greater New
York, however the population is
at least one-thirteenth of the popu-
lation Of the country. This means
that New York City alone has a
greater population by more than
tnree hundred thousand than all the
states of New England. 1t means
that New York City has a popu
lation greater than the whole of
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi and Arkansas; add Delaware |
for good measure and New York |
still has margin OF more than
one hundred thousand.
Not 70 neglect the West, New
York City exceeds in population the
states OF Oregon, Washington. Cal |
ifornia, New Mexico. Arizona, Idaho,
Utah, Wyoming, Montana and North .
Dakota. Turning 70 Europe. there
are whole countries whose aggregate
population does not reach the same
level as that OF New York. Among
them are Holland. which has a pop .
ulation OF only 1-2 millions and
Portugal has l-2 millions.
The Argentine Republic in South
America barely passes the six mil
lion mark, while Chile has only five
millions. New York has one-sixth |
the population of France; one-tenth
the total population OF the German
Empire. At the present rate of in !
crease New York in two years more |
will be greater than Greater Lon

The man who reduces himself to
the level of a common drunkard can
not disgrace Oklahoma by holding an
appOntive state office.
This is a principle OF government
that has been laid down by Cover
nor Lee Cruce and it is principle
that he will live up to.
In that principle lies an example
that will be felt IN the election OF
men TO office in state, county and
municipal elections.
Lee Cruce has said privately that
the man who is drunkard when ap-
pointed or who becomes one after
appointment cannot hold his office.
The new governor takes business
view of the task OF running a state.
\ great system of railroads has said
that II will not only refuse employ
ment to men who drink, but they VIII
refuse 10 tulIl'g Nh''' "h' "'''''N

of great state take the view that
the man who sucks a bottle is not
competent nor suitable man to at
tend to business affairs for the peo-
pie.

THE BANKING LAW,

Laws are often better as they are
first written. The senate has a bill
now which proposes to make changes
in the bank guarantee law that will
add seven thousand eight hundred dol
lars a year to the expense. Doubtless
some changes are needed but the
plan OF adding that much more to the
state payroll will not sound good to
the ears OF the taxpayers.

In conformity to his announced
decision previous to and since MS
inauguration not to grant parole
10 anv person convicted of selling
intoxicating liquors, Governor Lee
Crllce Monday refused the applica-
ton of w. l.. Kirkpatrick of Durant'
Bryan county, for parole.
Kirkpatrick was convicted in the
courts of Bryan county and assess
ed a fine of $50 and thirty days
in iail. Friends of the convicted
man immediately took the matter
mn with the new governor in an en-
deayor to secure a parole for klrk-
patrick. Telegrams and letters be
sought the chief executive to inter
vene and prevent the man from go
ing to Jail. Governor Cruce refused
the parole. kirkpatrick will have to
serve the thirty-day jail sentence.
This is the first case of the klnd
to come up since Lee Cruce was
inaugurated governor. Previous to
his inauguration and since that time,
Governor Cruce has made the state
ment that he will neither parole
nor pardon any one convicted of
selling Intoxicating liquors.

Rules for Dolls,

The following maxims have recent.
ly been published in a paper for
young folks, and one cannot resist the
suspicion that they are intended not
so. much for dolls. as for dolls own.
ers. AS such. it is recommended that
they be read and >pondered .-
A wooden-headed doll should be
careful not to hit her head against
her mother, lest she should hurt her.
A doll should keep away from the
rocking chairs. as the rockers may
crush her.
A wax doll should avoid the fire. II
she wishes to preserve a good com.
plexion.
Often an old doll with cracked
head ant a sweet smile is more be-
loved than a new doll with a sour
face.
It is a bad plan for dolls to be
stretched out on the floor. as people
are apt to tread upon them; and a
1oll that is trodden on is sure to 20

Authority Is Bitter Against Present
Methods in Vogue in Public
Schools.

Mr.. Forrest Morgan in spirited

writes to the Springfield Republican
to place the blame for bad spelling
where in his opinion it belongs. Mr..
Morgan denies emphatically that the
present spelling is responsible for
most of children's slow learning and
bad spelling Of words. There is not
one per cent of truth in this. Much
of it at present is due to the incred-
IDLY imbecile system so widely preva-
lent, of teaching words without the
alphabet. producing millions who can
not use a dictionary or catalog or
an index to concordance because
they do not know the order of the let
ters-witness any library school,;
more to the disuse of spelling lessons
and competitions; the rest is nature
in all countries and times, and is just
as true of foreign children with their
own languages as Of ours. They and
