woman suffrage she said she did not
care whether women voted or not
but she did think it was very selfish
of the legislature to prohibit women
from holding office.
When her term expires she expects
to "enter upon a more interesting
career" and will not engage in busi-
ness She is the owner of real es-
tate in her county and was also one
of the first persons to take an active
interest in the oil fields She has
some valuable lease holdings near the
Healdton pool and she is as likely to
become rich from these holdings as
any of the men operating in the field
Although Miss Richards has worr-
for years in an office and has had
much responsibility in discharging
the duties of a public official she
has retained her girlish expression
and womanly charms and can enter
tain in the parlor with the same
selfpoise that she uses in the trans
action of business.

MISS RICHARDS
VISITS ARDMORE
A FINE TYPE OF THE BUSINESS
WOMAN. WHO SUCCEEDED IN
POLITICS.

Miss Willie Richards. who was a
week. end guest at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. c. ID. Bryan in this city,
is a most interesting character. Two
years ago she made the race for reg.
lister of deeds in Jefferson county.
Her home was at Ryan and she was
very loyal to her home town in its
effort to be made the county seat.
Waurika was also a candidate for
county seat honors and in the cleo
tion Waurika won. The majority of
the people evidently dissented from
the young womans ideas on this line
but she never faltered in her work
for Ryan. Her opponent for the Of
flee was a man. His home was in
Waurika and there was a chance
that all supporters of Waurika would
support the candidate who had been
a friend to that city in the election
inasmuch as much bitterness was
developed in the fight as there al
way is. But Miss Richards, however
badly discouraged she may have felt.
never let her feelings come to the
surface. When the votes were count
ed it was shown that she had car
ried every voting precinct in the
county except two The new code
adopted by the last legislature pro
hibits women from holding office and
she cannot become a candidate FOR
re- election

SAYS DRACS ARE
JUST THE THING

County Commissioner James R.
Taliaferro has examined the drag
owned by the city that is used for
keeping streets smooth after heavy
rains and so well pleased with the
work done by the machine and with
the condition of the streets that
have been worked by it that he will
recommend that the county purchase
at least four to be used on the roads
of the county, and he further states
that he believes that they will solve
the road question to a great extent.
The drags are inexpensive affairs
and Mr. Taliaferro says that two at
work on the roads between Ardmore
and the fields west of us would keep
the roads in first class condition.
This matter will be brought up at
the next regular meeting of the
boari Of county commissioners Mon
day February ,.

VICTORY"
y <xI
AT THE MAJESTIC.

Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 2728.
Pictures of this kind are seldom
seen but once in a life time and
victory is a picture every Ameri-
can man or women with the red
blood of patriotism in his or her
veins will look with wonder and
amazement at scenes such as repro
duced in this feature. 1t is in five
parts and is so thrilling and eXcit
ing that the audience is fairly held
spellbound from beginning to end.
Battleships in action is only one Of
the many spectacular scenes shown
for there are realistic land and sea
battles. Harbor mines are exploded
and modern warfare is illustrated in
all its horror and impressiveness.
Among others are seen Secretary Of
the Navy Josephus Daniels and his
staff and other prominent officials
and men are seen in great numbers.
1t is a picture that both old and
Young should see and will be very
to the children especially.
This great feature will be shown
here for two days only, Tuesday and
Wednesday, January q and %. Price
of admission-adults 90 cents, child
ren 10 cents, for the full five reels.

quest for switch on the Ringing
road at that point is very pleasing to
the citizens of Joiner.

INCOME TAX COMPLEXITIES.

To the average man. the making Of
II fnlI and fair return OF all income,
and the writing Of "A law covering the
various classes'of income. seems fair
ly simple. But the putting into eff
feet OF the new statute has disclosed
multitude of Irritating complexities
that had not been thought out In ad-
vance. No douIt the law will be
amended and simplified.
One Of the more serious difficulties
Is the question how profits and losses
In stocks and bonds should be treated
Many railrond and other stockholders
saw the market valuation of their GER
tificates shrink almost half during the
year 1913 Are they entitled to de-
duct from their income this shrlnkage? :?
Or must they wait until they actually
sell such stock?
1t has been stated by some author
iiy that siclbbI0Asest Solid be claimed
az deductions, II actually chrged off as
losses on the bOoks,/,f the stockhold-
er. But IT. se,- ths--question would
arise next year. whether the stock
holder would remember to- add the in
crement Of value, should such stocks
happen TO take rise
The depreciation of property used
for industrial purposes is another
point of some difficulty. One imag-
ines that depreciation charges will he
much more common on factory books
than they used to.. Formerly 1t was
often said that "a large charge for
plant always looked well in case you
had fire. &lf
Whenr the powafg that be set out
to improve the law, they should real
ize how much 1t will add to their name
and fame &c 1t can be made to work
with less sAfriction For every
man who hasSeursed the administra-

IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS.

The recent death OF DR.. Alphonse
Bertillon OF Paris revives interest In
former discussions as to thee relative
merits OF his system of identifying
criminals. and the finger print meth
od. J
The ordinary Identification of GRIM
inals by photographs and descriptions
Ills at best uncertain and cumbersome.
In q big, 9fiss 100000 pictures may
haye' been COLLECTED IN the Rogues'

week to go through them. The thou
sand shades of expression on the hu-
man face RartiepIarly whensa man is

makes Identification often dubious.
In the five cent thriller that you buy
at the news stand, the detective can
always recognize given face after In
tervals of many Sh6rs. Real detec-
tives are not girted with such. powers
of memory. 81
The system oS requirements which
Or. Bertillon invented has been wide
ly used, It was claimed that no two
people in the world could show meas
urements corresponding In all parti-
emlara
The system encountered the obJec-
tion that 1t took man with much ex-
perienee In such measuringSto pro-
dpce reliable reaults. Errors we're oc-
rcasionglly made. and measurements
by different, men varied. even those
made by the shiiie man at different
times. AS result, the Bertillon sys-
tenn has been e a1ls es.tent discaraed,in
favor OF the finger print method.

WHAT IS AN ORGAN2

An organ has been described by one
writer as the grandest of musical in
sturments, the introduction OF which
has undoubtedly exercised q powerful
influence on the development of musi-
cal art and civilization.
Old Noah Webster has defined "or-
gan" in one of its shades of meaning
TO be IAN instrument or medium
through which soiae important action
is performed. or an important act is
accomplished" -
The Intelligencer does not object to
being called an organ, when we OBJ
serve such meanings as these.
Another definition Is " medium of
expression or communication between
one person and another" Any friend,
any citizen, firm or corporation, when
misrepresented, wrongfully used and
spitefuiiy abused, may find in this
paper IAN organ" to let the truth be
put before the public
This paper wishes to be an organl

1t hopes to sound the vox angelica,
the delicate notes of sympathy and hu-
man Kindness; we hope that we may

A HOME INDUSTRY

The ladies of the civic association of
Anderson are to be congratulated on
the success of their efforts to get a
great white way started there. The pla-
"a had been complimented by people of
taste who have admired 1t greatly. It
is an asset to the city and should be
preserved as such The ladies' had an
earnest advocate in Secretary Whaley
and he proved that the third time
bears charm. for last night was the
third time he had asked council to
give this permit.
Having favored this proposition
from the outset, we have one sugges-
ton to make-Have the work done at
home. Mr.. Wiggington of the Ander-
son Foundry and Machine Shops has
made the iron columns for lights in
other cities and we would like to see
him get the work here at home We
believe In giving all the work pos
sihlc TO our local enterprises.
This local foundry is equipped to
do the work and has designers of taste
and skill. This is the latest but not
the last constructive development by
the civic association. III the city could
be turned over to those good women
to be operated by them for one month,
we believe we would have the best
place on earth.

POLICE MAKE RECORDS
February was an Unusual Month
With Police i.

2 Il = t
/ Three unusual facts are noted in the
report OF Chief OF Police Lee for the
monthof February The first Is that
only s1,75 of the fines imposed was
worked on the cilaingang. The Sec
ond is that the amount of fines Inn
posed and back fines collected during
the month are Just about as much as
the expense OF maintaining the de-
partment during February. The third
Is that the number OF cases dismissed
was only three. 81
II II had not been for some misun-
derstanding or delay the item OF fines
worked during FebEuEry would have
dropped entirely from the report. The
only prisoner that was credited with
any work had his fine paid Few
hours after he was taken to the county
gang, but for some reason the gang
guards did not release him immedi-
.ately and he worked 81. 20 of his fine.
This is probably she only time in the
shiatory> OF the police department OF
tho city OF Anderson that the amount
of fines worked during any month was
this small.
The cost OF mainiaining the depart
ment during the month OF February
was S1.014.45, while the sum OF fines
