S. Va. Wood. of Waurika, who is
spending much of his time here, states
that by all means Ardmore people
ought TO look after the roads from
this city to the field. He lived in
the black land belt of eXas and says
for the cost there is no other kind OF
work that brings such results as road
dragging. If the business men viii
furnish the drags, he believes the
farmers will use them and in that
way fair road can be maintained
without much expense until such time
as the county is ready to build a
permanent road to the fields.

DR.. ]. Carlos Rodriguez, editor and

Public Life Improved.
The part played in Washington politics
by beautiful women is a vague chapter
of the history of lobbying. And in this
regard history is still being made. OPP
portunities for the lobbyist have de-
creased in recent years. The standards
of American political life have risen In
response to public sentiment. Many cor
porations along about 1895 found II more
efficacious to assist in electing Senators
and Representatives than to seek by devil
Gus means to reach them after election.
Publicity of campaign contributions has
put an end largely to this practice. 1t
Is safe to say that few votes have been
by actual payment Of money
here during the last ten years.
Little perquisities that made for infiu-
ence over legislation have disappeared
one by one. The Hepburn act in 1905
forbade the issuance OF passes by inter-
state railroads. In former years the Con-
and New York. was often half paper"
