NATION IS WITH HIM
President Wilson Has Won and
Will Keep Its Confidence.
Fact That He Has Accomplished the
Reforms of Which His Predeces-
sors only Talked Is Recog-
nized by the Voters.

AS his first year in the White House
draws near its close, President Will
sons grip on the country is immense
ly stronger than 1t was on election
day. Then. he had the backing Of his
party. Now, he has the support OF al
most the entire nation.
BY what magic has busy and alb
sorbed man, who knows not the first
letter in the alphabet of demagoguery.
worked such a change In public senti-
ment in less than twelve monthsH
Partly by his tremendous efficiency.
He has done the things that others
only talked about. His record of work
accomplished in a single year Is i've
times as long and 500 times as valu-
able as that made by his most strenu-
GUS critic and predecessor In seven
years.
In less than twelve months. Presi-
dent Wilson has chased out OF Wash
ington the lobby which infested the
capitol for two generations. He has
bitted and bridled the tariff trusts, and
Wulpp6u luc mOuog llupb iii ~ 40 w
ing for the privilege Of eating out OF
his hand. He has secured the passage
of the first honest tariff bill since the
Civil war, and Of the first rational cur
rency legislation in the entire history
OF the United States. He has kept
peace, In spite of all the efforts OF In
terested jingoes to force war. He has
caused to be introduced and will bring
to passage antitrust laws which will
correct those vicious abuses which
gained fullest power during Roose-
velt's regime.
This is a marvellous record. Presi-
dent Wilson has had help, splendid
help, in his task. Underwood In the
house and Kern In the senate have
done some OF the finest work ever
performed by parliamentary chiefs;
but there never has been a moment
since his Inauguration when Woodrow
Wilson was not leader Of the reform
forces at Washington.

Parts of Eight Others Are Also In the

eminent Order

The territory in the south freed
from cattle ticks and released from
quarantine has been increased by
l7l06 square miles by an order is
sued by the Acting Secretary OF Ag-
riculture, effective February 16, 1914,
releasing additional portions of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Okla
homa and Texas. This action has
been taken as a result of further pro.
gress made in the determination of
the ticks which spread splenetic or
Texas fever of cattle. The total area
released since the beginning of the
work in 1906 now aggregates 2l5,OOO
square miles and amounts to about 80

ARDMoRE INTERURBAM IS SURE
Lines To Run Into Joiner City From
Three Directions.

Joiner City-That construction work
will be commenced shortly on the Ard
more G Western Interurban railroad,
incorporated two years ago, is the
statement of r. A. White, secretary
of the corporation, who left this week
for st. Louis where the last tran
sactions incident to securing finances
for the construction work is to be COM
pleted Immediately. After hard work
accompanied by some setbacks that
caused temporary delay, the project is
about to be realized.
The course of the line has been
somewhat changed from the original
route. 1t was planned to make belt
line, having Ardmore as the starting
and stopping place. Ardmore will still
be the point of distribution but in
stead of making the line circular, 1t
will start from Ardmore, go north
and west, then run lines both north
and south, tapping the Healdton oil
field. Trains will be started from the
north and south termini, with Joiner
City as their junction point and Ard
more as their destination.
The first construction will be made
from Joiner City to the Healdton oil
field, stretch of about ten miles of
track. Joiner City is about twenty
miles west of Ardmore. Construction
work will be commenced from Ard
more about the same time.
