These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv,
iege is warning with the interests OF
the people. Decisions OF courts, OF
quasi-judicial tribunals, rulings OF
commissions, acts Of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are disconoented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
ly arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order to see just what the peo.
pie should do for their own good,
the Ardmoreite opens the following
contest:

fifty dollars in gold, or a diamond

A Home Institution For Home Men.

1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things, that this associa-
tion is a help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max.
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better op-
portunity than is offered by this com
pany.
The president of the association, as
well as the secretary is a man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as business man wheI! they elected
aim their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as success.
This can also be said Of the secre-
tary, w. A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas of the association.

said, q am sorry about your politics,

how it comes that there is one re-
publican state officer under the pres
ent administration. We can forgive
him his politics for he does not claim
to know much about it anyway, ana
he is just the sort of fearless, able
man for the place.
Handicapped by the lack OF funds
Suggs and his assistants have used
their own slender means, have beg
ged and borrowed what they could
but have not stolen penny. They
have worked night and day. They
have gone over the state locating
the best routes for highways; showing
the county commissioners how to go
about the work of building them
organizing the State Good Roads as
sociation, and everywhere and always
spreading information about the val
ue of proper road building. From this
office they have issued standard
plans and specifications made under
the direction of Mr.. Colt, for all sizes
of concrete culverts and bridges
from thirty inches wide to spans OF
seventy feet. The Oklahoma High
way Magazine is being published by
Mr.. Hudson and bulletins on road
buildings are in course of prepara-
tion.
The work of Sidney Suggs is one
which is of vast benefit to the en-
tire state and one which will en-
dure for generations. We who have
followed it only hope that he VIII
be able to stand the strain under
which he labors and that another ses-
sion of the legislature can be made
to see the necessity of amplifyinS his
powers, of modifying certain road
laws and of providing adequate funds
for the prosecution of his great work.

not without honor save in his own
country" that / feel the Ardmore
people should be informed about
what one of her best citizens is do
ing for the state.

PROMINENT GOOD
ROADS WORKER TALKS
CHAl RMAN OF EASTERN OKLA.
HOMA AND CHEROKEE TRAIL
COMMITTEES.

c. w. Dawson who is in the city,
a guest OF the Ardmore Rod and Gun
club and who is a good roads en-
thusiast, talked entertainingly today
of the great good work which is be-
ing accomplished by the king OF all
good roads workers, COL Sidney
Suggs, state commissioner OF high.
ways.
Mr. Dawson was for many years
active in the good roads work for the
League of American Wheelmen, also
chief consul OF Colorado for that
league. He is at present chairman OF
the Esatern Oklahoma and Cherokee
Trail committees of the Oklahoma
good roads association. The gentle
man is a hard worker for good roads
and can not say too much of the
great work being accomplished by
Col. Suggs. In speaking of him Mr.
Dawson said
IF there is any man connected
with the Cruce administration of
whom the governor should be proud
it is our old friend Sydney Suggs. In
spite of all sorts of handicaps, he is
making good in work in which his
whole heart is centered.
The present general interest in
good roads made within this state is
very largely due to the evangel
which he has preached for so many
long years. He and other men whose
wisdom outran their times We're often
greeted with derision; later they
were looked upon with the tolerance
given any crank with an old hobby,
and by the time of the constitutional
convention they had become so in
Gistent and resourceful that they COM
PEELED recognition from that body in
the form of provision for a state de-
partment of highways.
The legislature failed to vitalize
this department until at the last ses-
sion Sidney Suggs and his associates
succeeded in convincing the lawmak-
ers that the highway commission was
real need After the statute be-
came of force Governor Cruce wisely
chose the man who had always been
at the front of the good roads move
ment in this state as the first state
highway commissioner, and Sidney
Suggs in some measure, came into
his own.
Opposition had still done much TO
hinder and retard this great WORK.
The vitalizing statute gave the com
mission large power, and imposed
many duties, but, provided that It's
only source of revenue should be
an automobile tax of one dollar for
each machine, falsely estimating
tthe number of automobiles with
in the state at some nine thousand.
Suggs soon discovered that there are
not over five thousand in the state
and has so far been able to collect
tax on only twenty-six hundred of
them. Nevertheless he set to work
to serve the interests of the state
to the best Of his great ability. The
choice of his assistant, Clark Hudson,
and of Secretary Gilbert, both old
newspaper men who are not afraid
to work hard for small compensation
or to say boldly what they believe
to be true, shows that he means to
spread the gospel Of road building
into every hamlet in the state. The
choice of his highway engineer, Mr..
Colt, proves that politics had no
place in his department.
"Mr. Colt tells of his appointment
with great gusto. "as soon as | knew
that the governor had made Suggs |.
