when the robins come again, 1t is
damned to have the president of the

twenty.one governors Of the states In
~ Mississippi valley, pull the lever
that will admit the mighty river to
the turbines in the greatest power
house in the world here where mar.
vels Of engineering have been accom-
nlished in the last few years.
After doing the impossible half a
dozen times, it is now perfectly easy
for chief Engineer Cooper to fix a
date for the opening Of the industrial
revolution which this water-power
development causes, and the only de
tail not definitely fixed is the identity
Of the president and some Of the gov
errors who will offic1are. The other
details are being worked out by rep.
resentatives Of the various cities
within this zone of cheap power, Bur.
lington, Fort Madison, Keokuk, Iowa
Hamilton and Quincy, Illinois, and
Yannibal and Saint Louis, Missouri.
During the past summer tens OF
thousands of visitors have come to
see the colossus Of water-powers
among them many of the most emf
nent engineers of the world who take
great interest in this work, as Il
marks a distinct advance In engin
eering science and art.

the water-power company to dam the
Mississippi.
The titanic turbines several times
as large as any hitherto built, are
arriving, and single parts of them are

to secure the underwriters of the
railroad contract.
Farmers and those residing in the
towns west of Ardmore are looking
to Ardmore for hope and inspiration.
If Ardmore fails they will lose this
opportunity to obtain a road. If Ard
more fails the county to the west OF
us fails.
Mr. Ringling has asked that OPP
tions on certain property be taken
here if this city meets his require
ments He will spend 100000 ad-
vertising this section of the state
within one pear after the contract is
signed.
In speaking yesterday of the Tex
as coast country he said it was max
ing rapid progress but that it was not
as good a country as this. He said it
was better advertised and through
that advertising the people are reap
ing great results. Mr.. Ringing was
there with bankers from London,
Paris, New York and Chicago.
There is "a way to success. Ard
more people will find that way. The
question to be solved is the secur-
ing of the men who sign the con-
tract with Mr.. Ringing. Another
$4,000 can be raised in one days
time to secure these men if real es-
tate security will be accepted and
that ought to be the best security
there is.
Mr.. Ringing must have something
definite within a very short time,
Ardmore has but few hours in which
to make history.

RAILROAD BONUS
NOT COMPLETED
TOWN HAS BUT A FEW HOURS
TO MAKE MISUNDERSTANDING
TON SEES SUCCESS.

John Ringing came and went and
the contract which he proposed is
unsigned and Ardmore is no nearer the
railroad to the west than it was when
Mr.. Ringing first came to Ardmore.
Opportunity has knocked at our door
and we have not responded. The
door has not been opened to health
full business conditions and to pros
perity.
The people OF this city have sub
scribed literally. With only few
exceptions the rank and file of the
citizenship has done it's full duty.
The hitch now is obtaining men
who will become responsible to Mr.
Ringing for the full amount. The
railroad builder does not desire to
deal with the entire city but wants
to deal with few of the men who
are financially responsible.
In the meetings held yesterday
some Of the best citizens said the
deal could not be handled. In reply
to statements of that kind ]. r. Pen
nington denied failure and said Ard
more could make good. Scores of
men who knew what had transpired
during the day called Mr.. Pennington
over the phone last night and con-
graduated him upon the stand he has
taken for the city and promised to
stay with him to the last ditch. A
band of the young men met last night
and again this morning. Their propo-
sition is to indemnify Mr.. Pennington
and those who may sign with him
that they can afford to indemnify
Mr.. Ringing. There are 100 citi-
zens of this town who will guaran-
tee to double their subscriptions

JACK FROST
LAST NIGHT
COTTON is NOT DAMAGED. FROST
WILL HASTEN THE OPENING OF
THE STAPLE.

Last night, one year ago, stated w.
f. Warren today. killing frost came
that cost him 200 bales ,pf cotton on
his Washita bottom farm alone. Last
night the mercury dropped to 80,
which was the lowest this fall, and
some frost came but it is believed
that no serious damage has been done.
Dennis Fitzgerald was east of town
this morning He said light frost
fell in the low lands.
John Mulkey, from Mulkey said cot
ton was black this morning in the
bottoms. He thinks no serious dam
age was done.
Walter Hodges of Orr stated that
some of the late cotton in the bottom
lands might suffer from the frost but
no great damage would result.
Walter Colbert whose farm adjoins
Ardmore on the west, stated that the
tomato vines in his garden were not
killed. Only slight signs of frost
were observed in the low places. He
thinks no damage has resulted.
j. NJ. Jameson stated that most OF
the people considered the frost ad
vantageous last night. 1t will kill
the leaves in the low lands without
injuring the pods and will hasten the
opening,
Cotton keeps coming in at lively
rate and there is chance for Ardmore
to receive from wagons this fall 80
600 bales Cotton is making a fine
crop. The county farm has made

more gatherings yet to come. The

a little more to the acre. Some of

WOMEN ELIGIBLE
TO HOLD OFFICE
OPINION BY JUSTICE KANE DE-
MES PLEA OF JACKSON COUN-
TY CASE.

Women are eligible to hold office
as clerks of district courts according
to an opinion by Justice Kane hand
ed down in the supreme court Tues
day. 1t was in the case brought by
Henry c. Gilliland against the election
board of Jackson county to compel
the board to place his name on the
election ballots as a candidate Tor
clerk of the court on the ground that
Miss Maude Kimbell. who defeated
him for the nomination in the pri-
mary election, is not eligible to hold
the office.
The fact that the constitution pro
vides that women may hold office
as notaries public and as county su-
perintendents of public instruction
does not bar them from holding 9TH
er administrative offices if they pos
sess the necessary qualifications, Jus
tice Kane holds. Women are admit
ted to the par and the constitution,
in prescribing the qualifications for
justices of the supreme court and
district judges, makes no distinction
between the sexes. To withhold Of
fees from women, would be to de-
prive the state of the services of an
portion of it's citizenship,
Justice Kane says in his opinion-Ok-
ahoman.

Many criticisms from all por-
tions of the State are heard of the
Democratic State Convention held
in Baton Rouge on June 4th, and
Gov. L. E. Hall is coming in for
a fair share of the unfavorable
comment. 1t is declared by some
he attempted to use the whip
handle in the convention while
others say he was forced into the
position he assumed. It appears
to the BANNER that Governor
Hall will break a precedent of
several years standing if he goes
in person to the National Conven-
ton in Baltimore on June th25.
The date of this convention is
