THE PENALTY

"a woman bound and gagged and
her home searched for diamonds
reads a Tulsa date line news item.
Tulsa has been built under the plan
OF those who are liberal in city gov
ernment. The opinion seems to have
prevailed there that in order to build
a city all kinds of vice must be per-
mitted. Tulsa has grown, but in It's
growing it has attracted a very un-
desirable class of citizens, and 1t is
today paying a heavy penalty for its
idea of BODYBUILDING. Cit zens there
who reside within a block have or
ganized for the purpose CT hiring a
night watchman for their homes.
Ardmore is now growing into the
oil headquarters for the southern por-
ton OF the state, as Tulsa is for the
northern portion. There will be at
tempts made here to turn Ardmore
loose. as Tulsa has been turned loose.
When the criminal class once gets
control of a city it is very difficult to
wrest that control from them. Ard
more can profit by the example of
Tulsa and keep the lid on. We would
better have a smaller town and a
clean citizenship. Ardmore has
enough natural advantages to build
a city, without resorting to the un-
natural. The good people of this
city have a responsibility upon them
that must be met
In this connection the Mullen ad-
ministration is to be commended. Old
timers who have been accustomed to
buying drinks when they wanted
them state that Ardmora is cleaner
of Joints" now than it has been be-
fore in many years.

DEMAND FOR WAR
MUNITIONS HEAVY

New York, Sept. 12.-The steel in
dustry is still dominated by the eno~
nous demand for war munitions. Yet
sales of blooms, billets and bars last
week estimated at $50, 900 tons, were
smaller than the week before. The
inability of mills to assume addi-
tional heavy obligations for the re-
mainder of the year caused contrac-
tions in sales and, in conjunction with
q pressing demand, brought a wild ,
range and higher prices for semi
finished steel.
Railroads placed contracts for ap-
proXimately 100000 tons of rails last
week and orders for 1000 cars are
pending. Locomotive orders totaled
seventy-five, including twenty-five for
the Texas & Pacific.

Jail Break Foiled.

Chandler, Okla, Sept. 1?.-Anothey
attempt at Jail delivc"y was made
in the Lincoln county Jail here Fri
day night, The Jail is crowded with
several desperate prisoners who are
anxious for their liberty at any price.
The leader, Earl Letterman, and two
negro prisoners had been working on
the iron bars across the west window
and had almost sawed through the
bars when George Wilson, night jail
er, discovered them. Wilson immedi-
ately secured assistance and locked
all prisoners in separate cells. He
made thorough investigation which
showed that a delay Of ten minutes
would have liberated about ten pris-
oners.

URGES j. s. To
PREPAREFOR
INEVITABLE
HALF PREPAREDNESS is WORSE
THAN NO DEFENSE AT ALL,
SAYS EsTABROOk. CANNOT RE-
MAIN oBLivIoUS TO HINTS.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.-Henry d.
Estabrook, New York attorney, de-
clared in an address before the Ameri-
can Bankers association here that it
would be better for the United States
to scrap every gun and warship it now
owned than to attempt TO resist in
vasion by nation prepared for war.
mo nation threatens us in so many
words" said Mr. Estabrook, but who
is oblivious to hints and intimations
that speak louder than words? We
boast our strength to repel attack,
when we know we are weaker than
dishwater. While every other nation
has been preparing for aggression, we
have not even prepared for self-de-
fense.
81 would heartily advocate Mr..
Bryans Quaker policy of non-resist-
ance rather than a policy of half
preparedness. | had rather see every
gun and warship we own scrapped If
we are not to add to them. For if we
were without strength to repel inva-
sion we could at least claim the priyi-
lege of the weak and surrender with
out loss of life. Whereas to fight in
adequately armed and certain of los
ing, would be nothing short of muir
der for which every taxpayer in the
United States would be responsible.
ITO say that we are too big or too
proud to fight in self-defense, is alb
surd. To say that mob of million
or so of unframed citizenry would leap
to arms ana put TO Tight the bullet
tested soldiery of Asia or Europe, is
perverse stupidity"
Mr.. Estabrook strongly advocated
placing the militia directly under con-
troll of the regular army, and at the
same time providing adequate mill
tary training in all schools.
The speaker said Washington's con-
tention that a free people should be
armed and disciplined according to
some well adjusted plan was more
true today than ever before. Mr.. Esta-
brook held that the essential factor in
defense for the United States was a
big navy. He said it should at least be
as large as any other nation in the
world; should include all the latest
and best naval developments and muni
tions for a years campaign always in
reserve.
Mr.. Estabrook said standing army
of 100000, which would be a "skele-
ton that could quickly take on flesh
from the militia" should be sufficient
in conjunction with big navy. He de-
clared large standing army was fire.
