Wonderful Word.

Confidence! What a wonderful word
It is! How much 1t does to make de
spondent man or woman feel better
How often 1t has lifted n business
man out of the deepest dependency
and given him another chance. Say a
helpful word whenever YOU can
whether 1t be to a child with tear
dimmed face or to a workman who
has lost his job or to business man
who faces serious ,embarrassments,
1t will pay.-Leslie's.

GOODBYE, YE EDITORS!

Ardmore is glad to have had inc
opportunity to entertain the neWspa-
ner men of the state. Judging from
what they said themselves, they were
never more royalty entertained any
where than in Ardmore. The general
remark made of the boys as they
nsssed nm the street, that they are Tar
more than an average set OF men,
They have always been persistent i'hu
onsistent advertisers OF the re-
sources of Oklahoma. There are no
factions in their organization, their
business sessions are harmonious, Clf'
ferent opinions are expressed ana
some lively tits are had that bring
to the surface a dormant fighting abll'
ity that attracts attention, but spirit
of goodfellowship prevails at all times
and the social sessions are all that
could be desired The pleasure Ard
more had in acting as host to these
men is not to be compared with Tue
small amount of labor necessary to
make the arrangements. Ardmore
would not be selfish, but we would
like to be made permanently the
meeting place of the editors of the
state. Ardmore congratulates Guth-
RE upon its winning the next meet
ing, and we hope to be with the boys
OF the press again on that occasion.

Girls in Bad Health.

Hundreds of girls go to work day
after day, afflicted with some ailment
peculiar to their sex, dragging one
foot YEARLY after the other working
always with one eye on the clock
and wishing for closing time to come.
Every such girl should rely on Lydia

condition, then work will be pleas

and herb medicine has been pre-emi-
nently successful in controlling the

CT oct. i. on tn basis of excerpts

After referring to Col. Roosevelt AZ
the rough rider Roosevelt who four
years ago travelled through the
world in order TO give good advice 10
the peoples Of the earth. and not
always welcomed sympathcticailN by
them" the German paper says.
"Roosevelt's purpose is clearly the
same as he has previously expressed
in various forms. He seeks To eS-
tabliSh a strong naval armament for
thhe United States, and also, 10y means
of military training OF the people. to
guard it against loss of its manly
traits To be sure, that is a matter
that concern America, but is a very
strange contradiction to thunder in on
breath against militaryism-under
which term Roosevelt. as we'll as
other enemies of Germany, simply
means the German defensive forces
themselVAS-and at the same time to
steer directly toward militaryism.
~"Similarly, it is even d sharper
contradiction that the same politician
who four years ago, with his charac-
~teriStic tactleSSneSs, reproached the
English, much to their own resent
ment, be forcing upon them his uin
ion that they were treating people
such as the Egyptians With too much
sentimentality-that is to say they
gave the Egyptians too much liberty
that the same politician should now

many constitute himself an advocate
of the small peoples whose liberties
Germany has never threatened.
"Of the liberty of the German peo-
pie, who are compelled to fight for
life or death against might and v
tous neighbors who have fallen upon
them, Mr.. Roosevelt has clearly no
understanding.
TO be sure, it is not necessary to
take Mr.. Roosevelt as seriously as the
Berlin Faculty of Philosophy. which
four years ago made hi msuperfiu-
ously an honorary doctor. Certainly
it is not necessary to take him more
5 seriously than did his own country

American army officers have been
ordered by the president, who is com

of speech and action in this time OF
European war. The officers station
ed in Washington, while vending their
way to their daily work. have OBJ
ject LESSONS which may help them to
keep not only voice and actor. but
thought neutral.
At the first stage Of their morning
progress they pass and almost per-
force must look upon a statue of Won
Stuben, the German who taught the
American Continentals how to drill.
At a second stage of their jo~urneyings
to the war department they pass and
look upon a statue Of Rochambeau.
the Frenchman who helped Washing
ton win his victory at Yorktown.
Later in the day. when duty calls the
officers to the war college. they pass
the statue Of Lafayette. also a
Frenchman, whose deeds in behalf Of
this country need not be retold. Just
before the soldiers enter the college.
where they study strategy. they pass
and look on a statue OF Frederick the
Great. If duty calls them a block or
two west Of the war department they
can see a more or less fine statue Of
George Washington, who had some
| hin to say about the u~ndesirability
| Of entangling alliances with foreign
| countries.
There are several bronze or stone
checks in Washington on the inchna-
tons of American army officers to
talk on forbidden subjects.
