For years and years Carter county
has led in every enterprise in south
ern Oklahoma No new idea has ever
sprung up but that Carter county
has been the first TO pick it up and
boost it along. But she has very
seldom taken the initiative IN start
ing new enterprises, being content, as
a rule 10 await the action OF some
other locality in taking the first steps
and then coming in ably at the nm
ish. This is now longer the case.
Carter county can now be said TO be
well in the fore front as an orlglna-
tor of a brand new idea. No longer
will she have TO be content with be-
ing known as a finisher of the work
originated in the fertile brain OF the
sons of a sister county. We have
right here in the beautiful city OF
Ardmore a class of men that for ORR
ginating a brand new idea, one wor-
thy of taking its place among the
very top ranks of originality, are
entitled to the whole candy shop--to
coin a slang expression.
The originators of this scheme, the
nature of which we propose 70 eX-
plain fully as we proceed with this
story, are men who have been hon
ored by an appreciative constituency.
Men who have been elected to good.
easy positions by the taxpayers OF
this county. Men who by the popu-
lar voice at the last election have
been enabled to sit in easy chairs
and ask under the silver lining of
adversity cloud which has shown
the black side only TO so many for
the past several seasons drouth.
While the merchant, the lawyer,
the doctor the mechanic and the
farmer have all been making a life
and death struggle for existence and
under the passing of the panick times
the holders of county offices have
been asking in the smiles of kind
providence which, through the me-
dium of the little ballot, has put
them on easy street None of them
have had to follow 'old Ned" up and
down the corn or cotton rows through
the scorching rays of the summer
sun. None of them have had to work
from sun to sun fighting the unequal
battle against the drouth. None of
them have had to depend upon the
making of a crop in order to meet
the expenses of bare living. While
the dear voter, the muon beloved
public have moiled and toiled through
summers heat and winters cold these
men have contenedly sucked at the
public tit and grown fat and AFRO

DECADE MORE FOR
HUDSON BRIDGE

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Shall a
further extension of ten years be grant
ed by Congress to the North River
Bridge Company and the New York
and New Jersey Bridge companies in
which to finance their projects for two
huge suspension bridges across the
Hudson river to link Manhattan with
the Jersey shore?
This question a been seriously
raised before the louise committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce. Mem
bers of the committee declare they are
perfectly willing to grant an extension
to each Of these companies for another
decade, but that two decades have al
ready passed without either of the pro-
posed bridges being realized. and they
would like some assurance that they
will be built.
Chances are strong that the extern
sions will be granted.

COAL OPERATORS
IN BITTER MOOD

WILKESBARRE. Pa. April 5.-The
peace of the anthracite fields is threat
ened by the demand of the union lead
ers that coal companies permit none
but the union men to do repair work
at the collieries.
This request has caused the operators
to threaten a disruption Of peace, be-
cause. they allege. the demand is in
open violation Of the rulings of the coal
strike commission, which declare
against such discrimination. The com
panies claim that union leaders are
breaking the peace rules which they
publicly asked. and which the com
panies were willing to accept during
the length of the suspension.
From the statements of different
operators II is plain that a parting Of
the ways is at hand and that an open
break may occur at any moment.
The operators are bitterly opposing
the act OF the mine leaders In placing
pickets at their collieries for the pur-
pose of getting men into the organiza-
ton.
Threats have been made by the
operators that unless the leaders of the
union withdraw from the position they
have taken on this matter the COM
panies will force a suspension on the
men after peace has been declared.
The operators are determined to OPP
pose recognition of the union In any
form when both sides confer at Phila-
deiphia mex Wednesday.

anthracite operators and representa-
tives of the Mine Workers Union, at
