BENEFICENT INFLUENCE OF
POLITICS.

Just as long as this country main
tains democratic form of govern
ment. public officials will be chosen
at the ballot box and just as long as
men are chosen to office at the ballot
box. the office seekers will seek every
opportunity to put themselves before
the public. and their friends will plan
and work to help them do it. This Is
what is called playing politics in con
ycntions The politician and the Of
fee seeker and the official have been
assailed in the public press and from
the platform until there is a suspl-
cion in the minds of many persons
against this class of Individuals The
suspicions are founded upon wrong
principles. A man is to be conGrat-
ulatel who aspires to public olhce.
The man who bclieys he has the in
tell'gence to conduct the business of
a public office is to be congratulated
for his self confidence and for the
belief he holds in his own ability;
again, the man who feels that he has
done something worthy Of note and
who feels that he has lived a life that
entities him to suffrage of his tel-
low man is to be congratulated. The
man who aspiries to political office
seeks out after the friendship of the
people. he must have their confidence
and in order to have their confidence
he must stand for something and he
must be- somebody. These are noble
aspirations, these aspirations have
made many Americans greater Amer
leans. The teacher inspires the boy
by opening up the world before him
and showing him that these offices
are for him if he eQuips himself to
hold them. the father talks the same
way to his boy and appeals to his
pride and TO his manhood, by show
ing him the chances for Leadership
Politics is not to be despised. The
greater the man the greater are his
aspirations and the greater his aspira-
tions, the greater service he is to his
country.
While Stratton ID. Brooks, president
of the state university was speaking
against politics at the state Teachers
association, Judge Burford, member OF
the state senate from Logan county
was condrmning politics in the cleo
ion of the judiciary from Justice Of
the peace to Justice of the supreme
court at the annual meeting Of the
state bar association.
As long as men aspire to hold OF.
fee, they will play politics and theI
may the Lord pity the country where
its citizens do not have such aspira'
tions. and as long as men are in.
tertsted in who shall hold public Of
fees. friends of candidates will pla!
the game Of politics and the countr!
is ruined when the voters lose inter
est in whom they trust with public
offices.

STRIKE WON 7
AFFECT ARDM0RE
LOCAL FRISCO BUSINESS HAN
DIED BY THE ROCK ISLAND
COMPANY.

If the Frisco telegraphers strike
should develop, and it seems that it
has developed already into a shut
out for the telegraphers, the result
will not affect the office in Ardmore.
The Rock Island here handles the
telegraph business for the Frisco, and
there is no disturbance among the
Rock Island operators. Since the
Rock Island and the Frisco built into
this city, they have maintained a
common passenger station and have
also maintained a common freight
station. The freight agent acts for
both roads. the business of each road
is handled in the same office and al
though disruption came which sep
arated many other offices, this one
has remained as it was first establish
ed
The Frisco receivers took the strik
ers by surprise and started out spe-
cial trains over its line to install tel
elphones instead, and telephone
workers are put in place of the tele-
graphers. Only at the central offices
will telegraph stations be used. The
telephone has been tried in train dis
patch work and has not been found
wanting. The telephone system is be
ing used locally by the Santa Fe, and
the Ringing road is putting in the
same equipment on its line.

A road from sulphur to Fort Worth
by way of Ardmore, Marietta and
Gainesville would not be bad propo-
sition. Murray county can bring the
roaI to the Carter county line, Car
ter county can take it through this
county, Love county, Cooke county,
Denton and Tarrant can attend to
their own portions of the road. Al
sulphur the road will connect with
the Oklahoma. Texas and Gulf High
way, and at Fort Worth a practca,
connection will be made with that
road for the reason that from Fort
Worth TO Dallas a very fine road has
already been built. There is no rea-
son why such a road would not have
lust as much travel as the portion
that goes direct to Dallas from Sui
phur. The proposition at least means
more road building, and they are
needed everywhere. The movement
at this time needs leader

Foolish self-condemnatIon.

No comfort for the living or the

try to escape. from other troubles that
are truly avoidable troubles Of a
useless remorse, a present neglect. a
