A ONE-MAN TOWN.

This will be the night of the Com
mercial clubs banquet. A large num-
Der of the public spirited citizens of
Ardmore will gather around the fest
al board and exchange views on the
subjects of all different interests to
this place as city and to this county
and section as a community. The OBJ
ject of the banquet, as it has been
generally understood, is to gather all
the men who have the interest of the
business enterprises, and of the gene
raj good of the town, near them, to-
gether so that they may, with full
stomachs and contented sighs dis
cuss different subjects and try to
devise and formulate means whereby
this section of Oklahoma will be put
and kept on the map.
Speakers will no doubt tell us tLat
we should work in a united effort to
see to it that Ardmore is not "one-
horse town" And it is TO be trusted
and hoped that men of affairs will
also endeavor to show the people of
Ardmore that the way for any town in
Oklahoma-the way for any town in
the United States-to keep from be-
ing a "one-horse town is to guard
against becoming a "oneman town"
So far this little city has shown a
public spirit that few other places of
thrice it's size have shown. So far
the truly publc-spirited citizens -
the merchants, the professional men,
the capitalists and all others-have
been ready and willing to throw the
doors of the city open to competitors
and to extend the right hand of good
fellowship to all newcomers and new
enterprises. Just as long as this splr-
it of fairness is shown this will re-
main good place to live in and a
good place for strangers to come to.
But the moment that a 'one-man
spirit begins to predominant Ard
more will become a ''one-horse' town
