BY this time the idea had bloomed in
the boys brain. The bluff from which
he thought Of jumping was perpendic-
ular and the water beneath it forty
feet deep. Jim considered the danger
to be that the horse in his struggle
might injure his rider. He didn't think
much Of any other danger. 1t was en-
tirely q matter Of nerve.
Que day Jim appeared in a pool room
and showed a paper under the nose Of
the proprietor. It contained state
ment that Jim Hawkins proposed for
$1,000 to jump on his horse Ginger of
the bank into the river in front of the
town. The proprietor looked at Jim
as II making mental estimate for his
coffin, then, taking up pen, signed for
$50. Jim left the place with subscrip-
lions for over $500, and before night
the whole amount had been subscribed.
It was stipulated that the money was
to be placed In the hands Of MI. Jones.
to be paid to Jim's mother, for it was
not considered probable that Jim would
come out Of the stunt alive.
The only person in Jones City who
did not know Of the approaching enter
tainment was Jim's mother, and he had
persuaded her to visit her sister on
the day It was to take place. The ap-
proach to the Jumping point was roped
OF to keep back the crowd on either
side, and every one had been caution
ed to do no shouting till after the leap,
lest it should cause the horse to balk.
At 8 O'Clock in the afternoon Jim,

Of spurs, mounted Ginger bareback,

was tied carefully over the horses

were put back behind the ropes Jim.

Ginger the word.
BY the time they reached the edge

soon after appeared some twenty feet
from Jim. The handkerchief had been
arranged so that Jim could pull it of

dazed, not knowing at first which way

him, was in time to catch hold Of his

DIVERGENT OPINIONS

During the last session of congress
it developed that the house and the
senate hold widely different views on
the principle that should be applied in
the establishment of rural credit sys-
TEN.
The house favored the use of the
senate refused to allow the good Of
fees of the government used for such
purpose.
The senate would have banks or
ganized somewhat as banks are now
organized for the exclusive purpose
of making loans to farmers. Such
banks cannot make cheaper loans
than the banks make now. Investors
in such bank stock want their divi-
dends. it requires just so much money
to operate a bank and the operating
expenses must come from the inter
est charged on the loans. When these
SulHS IeuulItu lOl plOHl anu lpl CA
penses are paid, the farmer has to
pay the usual rate of interest and the
big mortgage companies can take the
business away from such banks, and
conditions are not made any better.
The house would have the govern.
ment used as a basis of credit, cheap
money can be obtained by the govern
ment, a loan agent for given district
can care for borrowers in a district
without the organization of bank
/ Funds can be deposited in the banks
now being operated. The plan of the
house would not injure banks already
organized, the plan would bring cheaT
money to farmers. The plan of the
senate must be abandoned before any
effective, practical rural credit plar
can be adopted.

RESOLUTION ENDORSING
PLANS OF SUGGS

Yale, Okla, March 13.-At meet
ing last night of the Chamber of Com
merce, Col. Sidney Suggs, who had
been especially invited to be present
delivered an address to an interest
ed audience on the question of good
roads. The matter of better roads FOR
Payne county has been made an issue
here. and some definite plan Is now
sought to be formulated whereby the
desired results may be attained. The
people present at last nights meeting
showed that they were in earnest IN
the matter of good roads, and same
practical work may be looked for as
result of Col. Suggs address. He
gave some valuable advice on the sub
iect, and stirred up considerable en-
thusiasm among those who heard him
The meeting adopted the following
resolution unanimously:
"Be it resolved by the members OF
the chamber of commerce, citizens and
tax payers that all road construction
in this vicinity be under the super
vision of the state department of high
ways"

NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS ARE

NOT READY. 80, Hy&

Since the legislature has passed
law pensioning all old Confederate
soldiers under certain conditions laid
down in that law, Judge Champion
has numerous applications for blanks
to make out claims upon, but as the
law does not carry the emergency
clause, it will not become effective
for ninety days after the legislature
adjourns. For that reason the re-
Gently appointed board of pensions
has not sent out the necessary blanks
The law provides that all applica-
tions shall be made through the
county judge, and for that reason
his office was besieged all yesterday
afternoon by old soldiers who want
to make application for their pro-
rata share of the fund.

aE FAIR NEXT TUESDAY.

On next Tuesday the people OF
Ardmore will pass judgment upon
the question of raising the salaries OF
the city commissioners from So a
month to $25 2 month We trust that
each man has given some thought to
this question, because 1t is OF i'm
portance.
We require members of the city
commission to give bond in the sum
of $4,000, that they will do their duty
well we turn over to them the al
fairs of the city, we place the streets,
the lights, the alleys, the parks, the
public property, the water system,
the sewer system, and taxation and
bookkeeping and city improvements
in their hands, and under the present
law require them to work for $S a
month If they must work so cheap
their bonds, at least. should be re-
duced Where there is no pay there
should not be so much responsibility.
The people will recall that, when
the city was fighting damage suits on
one of the septic tanks, these suits
were being abated by improving the
property, for forty days Will Fraley
gave his time to that work. For
that forty days he received a little
more than So, and besides that work
he had multiplicity of other du-
ties to perform. VIII Fraley is like
the rest of us-he must work for
what he and his family have and this
city has under its law taken from
him what was his, without giving
adequate compensation.
Ardmore, with a rich oil field at
its door with new homes and new
business houses under construction,
with its banks prosperous and with
property values improving from day
to day. is not so poor that 1t needs
the labors of these men without any
compensation. The city Is not poor
er off than it's individual citizens and
no citizen of this city would permit
a man to work his garden, or to keep
his store, or to drive his delivery
wagon, at so menial a wage. You
would not permit it. Your own sense
of justice would not permit you to
do it, and our sense of justice should
not permit us 10 exact this service
without a more reasonable compen-
sation
We do not believe that Ardmore peo
pie will be so blind to their own in
torest as not to vote for that changt
in salary. We do not believe tina
selfishness reigns supreme. Ever!
man believes in square deal. Th'
only difference we have is in arriving
at what square deal is. In this in
stance it does look like every thinking
man can agree that the sum of sS il
entirely inadequate to pay these mel
who are giving this city their tim
and their best judgment.

NEW ADDITION
FOR ARDMORE
At EARLY DATE
WoERZ BROTHERS, FLORISTS,
WILL ERECT A LARGE GREEN
HOUSE ON WEST BROADWAY -
MATERIAL ON GROUND.

Messrs. Paul and Eugene Woerz
have purchased three acres of land
on the West Broadway extension and
will erect a modern green house as
soon as all the material can be as
sembled.
The young men were in the same
business at Enid, Okla. but recently
sold their interests there, and will
make Ardmore their home in the fu-
ture. They have purchased the
Wright property and at present are
having it fenced and are doing some
repair work to the houses situated
on the lots.
Paul Woerz. the elder partner, is
in Kansas, where he has large prop
erty interests to dispose OF before
joining his brother in the work here
Their total investment in this city
will approximate ten thousand dol
lars when completed.
Mr.. Woerz states that they will
deal exclusively in cut flowers anc
house plants, but will be in position
to furnish ornamental trees to theil
customers. He hopes to be ready FOL
business by the first of May.

slothfulness. Pleading with law
makers TO hold others while one fills
his own pockets is evidence that the
talent OF success has never been un-

fades as darkness before the light in

A PENALTY NEEDED

1t is to be hoped that the present
legislature will not adjourn before it
has passed a penalty on the present
auto license law. If such is done, 1t
will enable the department of high
ways to collect and turn into the treas
ury six or eight thousand dollars be-
tween now and July /, neat nucleus
for the road fund of the state. un'
less this is done, multiplicity oi
litigation will ensue and thousands
of suits will be filed for the collec'
tion of this money, an expensive pro
cedure to the auto owners, since the
costs devolye on them.

SENATOR DAVIS AND SINGLE
TAX

Elsewhere in this issue VIII be louhu
an exposition of the single TAX lheo'y
which will at once appeal TO 'he III
tauigence of all who read ii. II comes
from Senator Davis of Sapnlpa' STU
dent of economics and an ayowed au'
vocate of this issue, who though heI
does not claim any credit for lts or
ipination. must at least be credited
with presenting it to us In so clear
and lucid manner as to make IL per
fectly comprehensive to even the least
informed.
The single tax theory is almost as
old as history itself, but its preseh'
tation has usually been enyeloped III
so much idealism that its real value
has been hidden.
1t has remained for Senator DAVIS
TO present the matter in such man
ner as to at once make 1t matter OF
thought by all and possibly an issue
in future politics in this state.
Some uninformed have thought to
connect the idea of single tax with So
cialism, the incubator of which we all
know to be the tenant system which
prevails in all states and to a large
extent-55 per cent-in our own state
but of course, such Is preposterous,
as we trace the same idea in the Mo
sale law, given to a wandering race
in wilderness thousands of years
ago, and again conspicuously in the
tenets of ancient Greek and Roman
philosophy.
But supposing it were socialistic-
and supposing, which we understand
to be true, the socialists of Texas are
advocating and claiming it, is not true
democracy after all nothing less than
the best OF all othe reconomics ad
vanced? And does not true democra
cy at all times reach down and grasp
the truth from whatever source 1t is
manifest?
Senator Davis does the state a dis
tinct service by advocating the single
tax movement. The more we read
his clear elucidation of it, the more
it grows on us, and the better concep
ton We get of what it will really mean
TO the masses of the people. And, af
ter all, is not the fundamentals of all
reforms ostensbly for the masses, and
are not their fufilments worthy OF
the efforts of all true patriots? We
think so, and heartily contribute our
small share to the spread of the Cos.
pei and most heartily wish Senator
Davis Godspeed in his efforts
