the arrival in this country on April

to be high in the councils of the Ger.

manded unlimited funds, having $780,

mission was not merely TO start pro

nitions to the allies, but also to stir
Up trouble between this country and
Mexico. In the latter respect, it is said,
his efforts were a failure from the
start.

SUGGESTED THAT THEY AP-
POINT A DATE AND TELL THE
PEOPLE WHAT THEY PROPOSE
TO DO IF ELECTED.

Ardmore has a surfeit of candi-
dates for city office that the public
must vote for at the coming primary
election. In fact, for the twelve
elective offices-that of the school
board, mayor, chief Of police, and
four commissioners there are an even
thirty running, and it has been sug-
gested that they announce meet
ing in the near future and tell the
voters of the city what they stand
for and their plans for the better
ment of the city if the voters put
them into the jobs they seek.
This would give the voters of the
city line on the various candidates
and would no doubt attract a mon
ster crowd to hear them deliver their
views on the subject of city govern
ment.
The election is but short time
away and before the voters can
cast an intelligent ballot they must
be informed as to the platform of
the different candidates, for this rea
son it has been suggested that they
get up on the stump, and tell the
people about it, before the day for
the primary arrives.

THE AUTOMOBILE RACES.

Unanimous, enthusiastic indorse-
ment by all the people of Oklahoma
City and their cooperation, too,
should be given an international au
tomobile racing meet to be held here
in April next. Furthermore, the
people of the whole state should re-

prepare to support it in view of the
fact that such a gigantic enterprise
will bring thousands of visitors here
and put Oklahoma on the auto map.
Such publicity as this meet will
procure for Oklahoma could not be
obtained in any other way, News
associations and telegraph systems
will fash bulletins and stories of the
races to every corner of the earth,
and Oklahoma City will be the center
of interest for millions of readers.

This great April race meet means
the establishment of permanent
automobile speedway in this city with
annual races such as planned for this
spring. The most sensational, daring
drivers in the world; champions of
the race course; demons of speed,
reckless, fearless, these have signi-
fled their intention to compete, and
soon will be under on-clad contract
to appear.
There isn't anything in the world
more fascinating than a really bic
automobile race. The people like
it. The people will come to it. And
they will see Oklahoma people from
the east and west and north and
south. They will be made to realize
the marvellous opportunities in this
land of promise.

WHY REINsTATE OLD RAILROAD
RATES?
rnITOR ARDMOREITE


Why the people of Oklahoma should
be persuaded by a few employees OF
the Frisco Railway Company to sign
a petition to re-instate the old freight
and passenger rates in this state,
can not see. OF course, these EN-
ployes are actuated by a selfish de-
sire 20 increase their own wages and
better their own condition. This would
be laudable and eXcusable in them, If
the reduction in rates was the cause
of their woe. but it is not, and the
effect of putting the old rates in effect
again, would be to enrich the offic-
ers and directors, and would not
benefit employees in the least.
The Frisco is now in the hands of
receivers, not because of the reduc-
ton in rates, but because the of
ficers, directors, and those in charge
of its affairs, have for years been eX-
plotting it for their own enrichment.
That has been proven by investiga-
tions made into its affairs, which in
vestigations have been open and
known to all 1t Is well known to the
public how the directors have bought
numerous branch roads and then sold
them to the Frisco (they being the
Frisco, of course for many times
what they cost them as individuals
1t is also known fact that vast sums
of money were borrowed by the Frisco
for improvement purposes and used by
these same officers for other pur-
poses, mostly big salaries to its Of
ficers and expenses caused by inef-
ficiency.
If there is a necessity for raise Of
rates, it is the result of such prac-
tices, and they now want the people
to pay for their proligacy OF course
these same directors of the Frisco do
not intend it shall stay under the con-
troll of receivers any longer than it
suits their purposes, and one of the
purposes for which they are now al
lowing the receivership to continue, is
to bring this reinstatement of the old
rates.
reducing rates, at the expense of eff
hciency, but | am one who believes
that if railroads were run with the
proper degree of efficiency, that the
present rates would be found to be all
sufficient without reducing the wages
of their employees.
The receivers of the Frisco are re-
ducing expenses in every way pos
sible. Not, because the returns from
the railroad charges are not sufficient
to meet the current running expenses
for they are, but because they are
under the necessity of creating a fund
to pay for profligacy of its officers
while they were in charge, and il
rates were increased the increase
would in no wise go to increase the
wages of employees, but would simply
go to increase this fund they are en-
deavoring to produce, and would only
hasten the time when these same old
officers and directors would be in
charge again.
The employees are simply "cats
paws" for them to bring about con
dtion which they dare not undertake
themselves.
