Although automobile manufacturers In
Great Britain and other countries on the
far side Of the Atlantic have been pro-
testing strenuously against the invasion
by American motor cars Of their market
for the last few years. Uncle Sam still Is
making gigantic strides in his automobile
export field. which now plays q most
conspicuous part in the automobile indus
try of this country. That the threats OF
foreign manufacturers. particularly those
of Great Britain. to produce q car at a
price which would compete with the low
and medium priced machines made by
American car makers did not prove ef-
fective or in any way stop the flow of
American machines to foreign markets 10
evidenced by the recent report of auto
mobile exports and imports issued by the
government officials in this city.
During the fiscal year ended June last
the combined exports of automobiles and
automobile tires and parts amounted to
the. previous fiscal year. In the 1914
fiscal year there were exported 9a3 COM

which in themselves form an item of con-
siderable importance. During the fiscal
year ended June, 1913, this country sent
abroad motor car parts to the value of
S., $40, 599, and automobile tires to the
value of $3.943, 20.

1t is the lower-priced American car

Huge Sums for Roads.

government the necessity for central

there are 10000 miles of main and Sec

eighteen million pounds sterling (about

their improvement and maintenance. and
that there Is no department of the govern
ment which is directly responsible for the
roads and the expenditure of the money.
He stated that the development of the
highways is rapidly becoming national
question, which the government should
weigh seriously. Other brief addresses in
dicated that there exists widespread
feeling that the bill for establishing ma
tional roads and creating national de-
partment of highways should be put for

ducing valve on pipe from a main air
reservoir which win be kept at a pres

The kerosene thus under pressure will
be shot through a series OF atomizers
and thus puiverized. The amount OF gas
admitted to cylinders will be primarily
governed by a regular throttle valve and
secondariIy by a nap valve similar to
one now used in carbureters. The use
OF kerosene would naturally reduce the
price OF gasoline in a very short time.
They would come to about the same
price, say 10 cents gallon. They could
then be mixed or used separately at the
option OF the consumer While this
transition is taking place great many
conservatives will hold off and let the
other fellow experiment. consequently
there will be fewer cars sold for a time,
hence fewer manufactured. This state
of affairs will not last long and when
IL is proved that kerosene is efficient anc

/ National roads are natural result of

about by the coming of the motor-driven
vehicle. which has advanced roads travel
from Its former comparatively local char
acter." is the assertion of Chairman
George C. Diehl of the A. A. A. national
good roads board.
In the consideration of the country
wide work CARED on by the A. A. A. for
the million and more motorists We have
given conscientious attention to every
phase of the subject, and repeatedly our
deductions have taken us to the general
proposition that the United States must
be provided with a national roads sys-
tenn connecting all the states continued
Chairman Diehl. "This subject will be one
Of the most important discussed at the
American road congress in Detroit dur
ing the week of September 30. In the ap-
portionment of days the ones devoted to

of public roads is president, assumed the
burden of the program concerning con-

Learning From Europe.
Marked confirmation of our contention
that national roads are now demanded is
found in the progress of events in Great
Britian, which now realizes that it must
do what France learned long ago had to
be done to insure roads communication in
all parts of the country.
"a measure was recently introduced in
the British parliament by Lord Helmsley,
which provides for the taking over as na-
tional roads by the British road board of
such roads to connect the different coun-
ties with each other. 1t is expected that
the bill will become a law at the next
session of parliament At present the

A POLITICAL DUTY.
Every Democrat owes it to Himself
to Abide by Primary.

1t is now only few more days
until the April election. The pri
mary has passed into hstory-the
majority of the town have said who
should be the choice of the party and
it is Up to the democratic voters to
bury all i'll feelings, if any such may
exist, ana to salve all sore spots and
support those who were the choice
of the primary.
1t is a duty which every true blue
democrat owes himself and his party
to support the men named at the
primary. 1t is the only way in which
party harmony and party strength
will be kept up and maintained not
alone in Carter county, but all over
the state of Oklahoma. The princi-
pies of Jeffersonian democracy are too
broad, too liberal and too patriotic to
allow of any cherishing and nursing
i'll feelings coming as an aftermath
of Il convention or a primary.
Each member of the democracy of
the city of Ardmore had his choice
before the eighteenth of March. On
that date the ballots were polled,
counted and compiled and William r..
Roberts was declared the choice.

Roller Skates Must Go.

Al regular meeting of the com.

held in the city hall last night an
ordinance was enacted which prohib
its roller skating on the public streets
in the paved districts of the city.
The ordinance carries a penalty with

is enforced.

ordinance, to see that it was prop
erly enforced and to arrest all of.
tenders of the new city law.
The roller skating craze which has
struck the younger generation of Ard

nuisance to the grown-ups. 1t is
also a dangerous amusement for the
young ones. A number of slight in

should he our choice-the man who
is the party's choice.
And laying aside all party feelings
and coming down to the matter of
voting for the man, why should not
the people Of Ardmore support Will
liam Roberts? He has spent the great
er number of the years of his life
IN this town and while yet com
paratively young man, he has always
been identified with everything which
vas for the general good and for the
welfare ard the interests of the par
ty aud of the people. While he is
a democrat of the truest blue, while
he is a democrat from principle and
because he believes that the demo-
cratic party is the party of the people
and for the people at the same time
he is a man who believes that Ard.
more demands of him lasting and 8
first duty. And believing this he
will handle the affairs of the people
the affairs and the business of the
town in such way that thorough
ly competent and qualified business
man would handle his own private at
fairs.
Mr.. Roberts has seen this city grow
from nothing into what it is today
and he has had a most active part
in this growing He has not been
content to sit supinely down and
watch the town take its course. On
the contrary, whenever anything for
the good of the town has come uD,
Mr.. Roberts has always been among
the very first to lend aid and help
TO the matter, if it was a worthy en-
terprise, and help it along and shove
it along until a successful end was ac~
complished. He has accumulated a
considerable property, not by buyilS
when property was cheap and quietly
watching it enhance in value, but by
investing his money judiciously and
continuing to buy and sell to advan"
tage. He has proven himself ever
and under all circumstances a live,
up to date, thoroughly progressive
business man-the kind of a man
whom the people need to conduct the
affairs of the town-to pull 1t out
of the bog and to put it well on its
feet.
It is poor policy and poor sense
Of party fealty which will lead any
true democrat to forget his allegiance
t. the party because his man was
not the choice of the people at the
primary. If Mr.. Roberts was not a
worthy man, if he were not a well
qualified man, if he were not a moral
man and a man true to all the in
of the entire town-then there
might be some excuse to forget all
party ties and affiliations, but no such
charges can be made against him and
