ABBOTT RESTS
 SHELBY IN BIC
 MATCH AT GOLF
Champion Put Out of State Meet By Another Brook
 lawn Player.

w. Parker SeeIey, of Brooklawn, who won the state championship last year, was put out of the state golf tournament today when he was beat en by Robert Abbott, another Brook lawn player and also a former state champion. Abbott won by up and ? to play. Owing to the prominence of the players and the importance of the match it attracted a large gallery. Today was the fifth time Seeley and Abbott had met in tournaments and today's result gives Abbott two vic tories. Abbott is noted as a long driver but it was thought See1ey would show superiority in other points.
 Reginald Lewis, the 19 year old schoo1boy from New Canaan who is considered a strong contender for the title, beat H. S. Redfield of Hartford up and five to play. H. J. Topping of Greenwich, won from George Bald win of Brooklawn 2 up on the home green, after a, gruelling match. H. K Kerr, Greenwich, beat G. M. Quentin of Race Brook club, New Haven, six up and five to play.
 This afternoon, in the semi finals, Topping will be paired with Lewis and Abbott with Kerr.
 The Seeley-Abbott watch was fol- lowed by one of the largest galleries seen on the course in some years. See ley took an early lead and was up at the end of the fourth hole, winning that well the first. Abbott played the sixth stroke under par and was then one down. A wonderful ap- proach gave See1ey g, chance to hole out on the fifteenth in three, one stroke below par and win the hole. He was then two down with three to play. Both tee shots from the 18th went into the rough but Seelely's approach was poor and he lost the hole to and the match The score.

BARTLESVlllE TO WORK
WARRANTS ON HIGHWAY

Bartlesyille Okla, Oct. i.-This
city has solved the question of how
to handle men arrested on the charge
of vagrancy At certain times of the
year, especially during the fall,
large numbers Of hoboes come to
Bartlesville. Last year an unusually
large number drifted into Bartles-
vile. following the announcement
that the town had established free
soup and lodging house. The free
soup and lodging house did a land
office business but did not accom-
plish the purpose for which it was
started-to find employment for idle
men. The employment was found,
but the men who accepted the hos
pitality of the city were not the kind
who were seeking work.
Now the city and county, acting in
are to build stockade
north of the city along the Carey
river. Every man arrested IN the
charge OF vagrancy will be taken to

state shall teach their children reil-
gion in the public schools. All are
alike secular.
The state is not a religious inst,
tuition. 1t is not ordained for the
promotion of religion. In entering
the domain of the spiritual, it leaves
its natural realm. In attempting to
impart religious instruction it at
tempts to do more than it ought,
more than it is ordained to do. The
result of such attempts is thus fore
ibiy and truthfully stated by Lord
Macaulay:
"It may be laid down as universal
rule that government which at
tempts more than it ought will per.
form less" Governments which at
tempt things beyond their reach are
likely not only to fail, but to pro
duce an effect directly the opposite
of that which they contemplate as
desirable. Review of Leigh Hunt.
Let none, then, attempt to force
the state to do this sort of work.
Very sincerely yours,
A. NJ. BROCK.

A MAGNANlMous SPIRIT

The Santa Fe Railway Company mas
accepted liability for the devastation
wrought by the explosion OF gas III the
wards of the company in Ardmore on
the 27th of September. This news was
conveyed to this city yesterday III
telegram from Il. =. Ripley president
of the road to Mayor Mullen. Every
individual in this city who suffered
loss by death of members of their
family by injury to himself or by loss
of property, may submit statement
of that loss at once to the cltlzens
committee composed of Lee Cruce,
b. A. Simpson, j, w. Harreld, +. Z.
Dings. j. S. Mullen, II. c. Potterf and
if that claim is accepted as reasonable
by the Santa Fe Railway Company, 1t
will be paid Immediately in cash. f. q,
Pettibone will be here this week from
Galveston and will arrange details for
settlement with the mayor, and the
announcement of the details Will be
published so the people who have
claims may be properly guided in filing
them.
It was a magnanimous piece of work
on the part of the Santa Fe to take
this action. 1t means more to Ardmore
than can be expressed in a newspa-
per If the company had not been
handled in way that its financial
responsibility was good, many persons
would have suffered great loss and
some of them could never have recov-
cred and gone back into business. The
Santa Fe has been ably managed, the
hands of grafters have been kept out
of the cash tills, it has a sufficient sum
to settle the losses here without sell
ing a bond or without borrowing
penny The money is ready in cash
the moment agreements are reached,
and every property owner will have
funds to buy material and to pay for
labor in the rebuilding of the city
Il is said of Mr.. Ripley that he once
wrote a letter to every clerk in the
employ Of the company The letter
stated that during the past year the
company had spent a certain sum for
indolihle pencils, the sum spent was
sufficient to purchase two pencils cv-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-10-05

ery day for every clerk and they were
asked if they could make one pencil
last a week. That letter illustrates the
companys grasp upon the details OF
the business. The spirit OF economy
which prompted that letter accounts
for the financial responsibility of the
road which today means the very
commercial life of this city and the
prosperity of our people.
Claims ought to be settled at one
hundred cents on the dollar, but there
ought to be an unwrtten law in the
city condemning any person VINO
would seek to take advantage OF the
occasion to collect greater sum than
he lost. Litigation costs money, 1t
takes time and an immediate settle
ment is worth twice as much as a set
tlement delayed until 1t can be put
through the courts. Fear of litigation
should not induce persons to make set
Elements for sums inadequate to cover
losses, but any litigation would have
to result in double the pay offered for
it to amount to greater remuneration
to the injured. Ardmore has bust
ness district to be rebuilt, it has hun
dreds of homes to repair and 1t does
not have time to wait upon the grind
of the courts and through the ability
and magnanimous spirit of the Santa
Fe this delay Is not necessary.
From comments of the press and
from letters written the Ardmoreite
from other states, it seems that there
Is likely to be a vast deal of legisla-
ton enacted controlling storing and
shipping of gasoline. If the people
do not become calm they will perpe-
trate wrong in radical legislation. 1t
must be remembered that this gaso-
line was not the ordinary gasoline that
is stored in tanks for sale to autoists
and for household use. 1t is lighter
in gravity, it is more volatile and is
much more dangerous. The explosion
will cause every transportation com
pany to investigate the properties of
tn gasoline and they will protect their
own business and the lives of the peo-
pie by acquainting every employe with
the explosive and by regulating its
shipment. The corporation commits
sion is already clothed with all the
power the state needs for this CON
troll, and no new laws are needed.
Ardmore has paid the penalty with
its lives and its property to direct the
attention of transportation companies
to this quality of gasoline and has al
so given notice to the corporation
commission that certain rules should
be adopted controlling its handling.
The Santa Fe has paid a penalty
that will be the means of warning all
other railway companies to surround
shipments of casing-head gasoline with
certain restrictions that will protect
lives and property If shipments of
this material are absolutely neces-
sary in the summer months when the
heat causes the gasoline to evaporate,
the cars built especially for that pur.
pose can be required which will pro.
tect the fluid from the heat just as
fruit is protected from spelling.

Is Sec uIarism NecesssrlI
lnfidelity?

To the Editor:
Us secularism infdelty? Is a sec
u,ar institution necessarily a goddess
ali dangerous institution? That
such is the case is the impression
conveyed by some who urge that re,
ligion should be taught in the state
schools
But these attach very erroneous
meaning to the word secular" They
use the word in a bad sense, as
though it meant only what is goddess,
and as though it were utterly op-
posed to, and at war with, religion.
They make little or no distinction
between secularism and atheism.
But. as a matter of fact there is
not necessarily any relation. between
the words "secularism" and "athe-
ism" The word secular" is defined
thus: Pertaining to this present
world or to things not spiritual or
holy; relating to things not imme-
diately or primarily respecting the
soul but the body; worldly"
1t is true that that which is secu-
lar does not pertain directly to taet
which is spiritual. But ii is also
true that it is not essentially op.
posed to the spiritual, nor does it
inevitably lead away from that which
is religious.
