The very audacity Of the proposal
TO bond Florida for S50,O0O,O00 to build
roads has caused a great deal OF COM
ment. The fact that this should be
seriously entertained by boards of
trade and by conservative newspapers
shows that Florida believes in herself
and has great confidence in her own
ability. Of course no s1ch bond issue
will ever be attempted, but in due
time Florida must and will have a
statewide system of good roads.

Editor Ardmoreite

Editor Ardmorelte;
Dear Sir:-.With your kind permiS
sion | would like to secure little
space in your valuable paper to voice
my hearty approval and endorsement
of the appointment of Preston c. West
of Muskogee to the position of as
,istant attorney general of the United
States to the interior department.
There is no position in either the
department of the interior or the
department of justice that so vitally
affects the eastern district of Okla
homa as the one just given to Mr..
West. and the selection of a he me
man should prove of inestimadle
value to the Indian, the general gov
ernment and every citizen of Okla =
homa.
! have known Mr.. West for thirteen
years, and while he is democrat and
| a republican, | do not believe there
is man in the entire state better
suited for the position. His integrity
is perfect, his ability as an attorney
equals that of any attorney at the
bar in the state of Oklahoma, and
those who persuaded him to accept
the office have conferred lasting
favor upon their party and the peo-
pie of eastern Oklahoma.
Very respectfully,
GUY p. COBB

CONv|CTS REMOVED
FROM SING SING
MOST DESPERATE CRIMINALS
TRANSFERRED TO AUBURN
PRISON.

Ossining, N. Y, July 26.-SiXty con-
victs, the dregs of the New YORK
criminal class, were taken, one Dy
one from Their cells in Sing Sing
urison today and placed aboard a
train for the state prison at Auburn
recent riots in Sing Sing caused the
warden to take no chances. Each
convict was heavily handcuffed ana
sbackled and then chained to place
in railroad car which had been
brought inside the prison lnclosure'
A hundred prison guards ala th'S
work, while in the state armory ho'
far away a company of naval militia
waited for a call to pprotect the town
in case the transfer of the conVlclS
resulted in a prison mutiny,
Little Sleep Behind Bars.
There was little sleep in the prison
last night. At intervals some OF the
prisoners would start to howl ana
hang on their cell doors. The u'h
would increase as it was taken up
down the line of cells and continue
until the angry convicts had worn
themselves out.
When the first convicts were
brought out to the car Sing Sing sud
denly awoke. More than 1000 prls-
oners rushed to their cell windows
and cursed and howled and yelled
threats at the keepers.
Guards Aboard Train,
The task of the prison authorities
was not ended when they got the
prisoners aboard the car. ON the
train to which this car was attached
they expected to find friends and rel
atives of the convicts and threats
had been made that attempts to re-
lease the second term men might be
looked for anywhere between Ossining
and Auburn. For this reason there
we're almost as many guards aboard
the train as there were convicts.
The town of Ossining last night
and this morning was full of men
breathing vengeance Upon the prison
authorities.

ond-term men to be transferred to

Editor Ardmoreite:

Editor Ardmoreite:
A few days ago | observed in the
columns of The Ardmoreite sug'
gestion by Col Doak as to the per-
sonnel of the board of directors to be
selected in the near future by the
members of thel Commercial club,
in which he mentions the names or
nine business men for the cOnsidera-
ton of the club in the selection of its
directorate | may not remember all
of the names OF the gentlemen sug-
gested by Col Doak, but ! think they
were:
]. S. Mullen, H. Z. Foster, p, c.
Dings, w. M Gwinn, w. A. Mfmbish
mott and Max Westheimer.
Whether ] am correct as to names
heretofore suggested | am convinced
that the Commercial club of Ardmore
would make an impression on visit
ors and prospective investors, through
these men as it's directors, that would
bring the desired results for our city.
They have the interest of Ardmore at
heart. They are all good business
men. They have the brain to contrlVe
plans which will attract capital; and
they have the means to assist ma
terially in the execution of their ideas
of what should be done to make Ard
more a splendid city.
A campaign for the success OF Ard
more is not unlike other campaigns,
we must maintain headquarters, we
must have literature and capable men
in charge to direct our campaign.
Other cities and towns are in this
campaign for themselves, and it be-
hooves us to shine" our city for they
will sure shine" theirs.
With these gentlemen selected as
the directors of Ardmore's CONNER"
cial club, no city of Oklahoma or any
other state can boast of having It's
future prosperity in more capable
hands.
Not having heard Of any other sug-
gestions. | therefore move you, Mr.
Chairman, and gentlemen of the nom
mating committee (whoever you are)
that the gentlemen herein named be
nominated by acclamation.
Respectfully,
J. T. COLEMAN.

Ruskin's Greed of Work.

The man or woman who does work
worth doing is the man or woman who
lives. breathes and sleeps that work;
with whom 1t is ever present In his
or her soul; whose ambition is to do
II well and feel rewarded by the
thought of having done 1t well. That
man, that woman. puts the whole
