MAGIC IN OKLAHOMA.

Since the Mayfower landed on
Plymouth Rock this country has been
pretty busy piling up population,
prosperity and progress. That is,
most of the country except Okla
homa.
The Oklahoma Mayhower didn't
land till April %, 1889. A; noon on
that day bugle blasts released 10000
pioneers lined up on Oklahoma's Dor.
ders. Before that hour white men
could not legally hold Oklahoma land.
Don't think that because Oklahoma
started late she stayed behind No,
indeed She has caugn. up with
many states and passed some in
points of population, prosperity and
progress. 1t is only since 1907 that
she got her second wind. In that
year the east and west sides, (as
they are called there) cot together
and added a star to the flag.
Events move rapidly in Oklahoma.
In four months after the opening
Guthrie had 5000 population with
four daily newspapers aud six banks,
A certain church in a certain town
occupied in quick succession tent

COMMITTEE To
MEET TONIGHT
FLED TO MEET AT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE AND OUTLINE PLAN
FOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

The advertising committee recently
appointed by the president OF the
chamber OF commerce to inaugurate a
campaign to put Ardmore and Carter
county on the commercial map, have
been notified to meet at the rooms in
the court house tonight at $3.50 for the
purpose OF formulating plans for fu-
ture action.
The men appointed are all hustling
business men who are amply qualified
to do this advertising in a systematic
manner that will bring results. 1t has
been several years since the chamber
OF commerce has been supplied with
adequate literature, and that in it's
possession is antiquated and contains
not nearly all the information and
facts about Ardmore and Carter coun.
ty that can justly be claimed. Every
member of the committee is requested
to be present at the meeting promptly
tonight, and the work will be expedit-
ed so that the meeting will be short.

{ n { A GE IN
WARM TILT
DISCUSS THE CONTROVERSY Be.
TWEEN GOVERNOR WILLIAMS
AND SUPREME COURT CLERK
FRANKLIN.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.-Member:
OF the Oklahoma City Bar association
after brief but animated session a.
the court house Saturday morning, de
cided to investigate the strained rela
tions now existing between Gov. r. l.
| Williams and Supreme Court Clerk W
NJ. Franklin, a committee, composed
OF Attorneys +. l.. Fulton, T. G
| Chambers. Sr.. w. r. Taylor, j. S
Ross and Robert w. Burns, all demo
Gratis, having been appointed for that
purpose.
The committee was chosen by E. G
McAdams, president of the associa
tion after the meeting had voted in
favor of the proposed investigation
A report will be submitted to the as.
sociation by the committee as soon as
it is able to obtain and prepare its
contents. The reason for the local bar
interesting itself in the matter is said
to be complaint of improper service at
the supreme court clerks office as a
result of the controversy.
The meeting was held in the court
chamber of Judge G. w. Clark and it
soon developed that there were two
contending factions, one favoring the
proposed inquiry, and the other op-
posed to it. Those composing the for
mer faction were E. G. McAdams, j.
H. Grant, John Tomerlin, j. S. Ross,
]. S. Estes, d. !. Johnson, according
to reports given out by Mr.. McAdams
after the meeting. This faction is
said to have shown sentiment in favor
of Clerk Franklin's stand in the con-
troversy.
Those prominent at the other end
of the argument were reported by Mr.
McAdams to have been Ed. Vaught,
J. S. Twyford, " f. McInnins. A. n.
Munden, Fred Caldwell and R. R. Bell.
A letter from Clerk Franklin was
introduced at the meeting, part of
which follows: 81 have been advised
that the governor has been telephon-
ing to a number of attorneys and has
been consulting with some in an effort
to enlist their aid in his stand against
me. | shall urge no attorney to sup
port me in my contention, but as sug-
gested, | am willing to present the
facts so that just conclusions as 10 the
needs of this office can be reached
therefrom."
1t was not given out following the
meeting Saturday whether a definite
time had been fixed for further meet
ing on the subject, nor was /anything
announced as to when the Committee
would be expected to render its re-
port.

All of this is why an orthodox

Nature has sure branded Oklahoma
with prosperity this year. Bales and
bushels of dollars are being harvested
in its cotton and corn fields. And
with its gas and oil feds yielding

an industrial expansion that will
make some OF the more prominent
eastern states look to their laurels.
Cheap fuel is beckoning many man
ufacturers to Oklahoma. abundance
of raw materials is brioging others.
The state is beginning to be able to
count the value of its manufactured
products as great as that Of its agri-
cultural production.

crops, Ardmore is now the fastest

Arbuckle range of mountains, where
lead, zinc and silver ore abounds,
while an oil area is being developed
to the west of the city that bears
promise Of being the most productive
area ever discovered in Oklahoma,
the land of wonders. Train after
train load of asphalt is shipped from
this point, and the deg0sits have
scarcely been touched This city is
bound to become an important COM

Oklahoma is a country Of pioneers
and its history reads like a romance.
But there is more pioneering to be
done by Oklahomans-it viii be every

Right now there are a few manu-

that can protitably employ good ad-

AN ADVENTURES FRENZY

Neither the state department nor
the Iatin.American diplomats who
have been called into conference can
now remain in uncertainty as 10 the
right solution Of the Mexican Difficult
ties, following the defiance issued by
General Carranza. Express notifca.
tion by Secretary Lansing that "the
American people view With displeas.
ure" his CCarranza's) present course
leaves no doubt of the attitude as
sumed by the strongest OF the candi.
dates for the military dictatorship.
The fact that battleships ere on the
way to Vera Cruz and that troops
are mobihzing on the border has no
effect on the fatuous seifconceit OF
the ambitious revolutionist whose re-
cent successes at arms appear to
have affected him like wine. On the
other hand, it must be admitted that
the previous naval and military dem
onstrations made by this country
against Vera Cruz was nor OF kind
to inspire any great fear from a pros
pect of its repetition. Apparently
it is not only in Europe that the real
ization must be forced home Una, since
Mr.. Bryan's departure from the cab
met the presidents declarations of
policy must mean business.
The amazing self-assuraLce OF Car
rama, in warning the diplomats who
have accepted the invitation to a con-
ference to map out plan for restor-
ing order in Mexico, that any con-
certed action among the republics Of
this hemisphere would involve an
act that could not be looked upon
with levity," puts him clearly beyond
hope as a medium for ending the
chaos in his own land. He wishes
nothing but to be left free to continue
bloody but profitable career as the
worlds foremost adventurer. To be
halted when the rich treasures of a
PROSTATE nation seem about to fall
into his clutches fills him with un.
governable rage. He not only defies
the United States but writes threat
ening letters to the representatives
of the republics who have associated
themselves with our state department
to carry out disagTeeable duty. 1t
is not clear whom he hopes to fright
en- with his swashbuckI'ns phrases.
He complains to Brazil OF the con-
duct Of its minister who also is in
charge OF American affairs, and
makes serious accusations against
him. He throws our citizens into
Jail on political charges, or on no
charges at all. He loo's the people
in whose interests he processes to be
fighting, not only of mercy but Of
supplies, and repulses tn efforts of
the Red Cross to feed the starving

THE GOVERNOR AND THE CLERK

IHOer lne ABOVE CdpllDu ne Ddlig
Oklahoman discusses the controversy
existing between the goTerDor Of the
state and the clerk OF the supreme
court, and undertakes to place the
blame for the present sitUation en-
tirely at the door Of the clerk. II
The Oklahoman had ben a little
more careful in gathering its facts,
and had maintained an attitude Of
perfect fairness in the controversy,
we are convinced that the editorial
would have remained unwrltten. The
facts are as follows:
The Fourth Legislature at It's regu-
lar session passed law placing the
clerk Of the supreme court upon sal
airy and definitely naming the EN-
ployes under him and specifically fix
ing their salaries. Acting under this
law the clerk has appointed the cleri-
cal and stenographic help thus pro-
yided and Is approving their salary
claims for the amounts provided by
law. At the special session of the
same legislative body law was
passed designating certain positions
in the governors office and fixing
their salaries. Acting under this law
the governor has likewise appointed
persons to all the positions in his
office and Is approving their salary
claims for the amounts provided by
law. Thus far these two officials
stand upon the same foundation with
this exception: In the GOV ernor's Of
fee two stenographers are provided
for at salary of 1920 each per
year, while the clerk is allowed two
stenographers, one at a salary Of
$1,000 and the other at salary of
5000.
Since the law fixing t., help for
the clerk was enacted, TIE work of
that Office has been greatly increased
by reason of the appointment of an
additional number Of members of the
supreme court commission. The pres
ent legislature, seeing the necessity
for additional help to properly take
care OF the business of the office, pro
yided for the appointment Of other
employees, and for some reason never
explained to the public made it nee
essary for the clerk to obtain the
consent OF the governor before such
appointments become effective. Ac-
cordng to The Okahomsu. which in
this controversy seems to be the
mouthpiece of the governor, the gov
ernor comedies that the extra help is
needed If the office of the clerk of
the supreme court is to be properly
administered, but insists that some
of the salaries of the present force
be reduced before giving his consent
TO the employment of extra help as
provided by the legislature" 1t might
have added that the hi, providing
the extra help received the governors
approval
II is evident that the governor has
the same power to reduce salaries
OF employees in his office that the
clerk has to reduce salaries of his
employees, for compensation in both
cases is fixed by law Until he shows
his faith in "cruel economy hy re-
ducing salaries in his Office where
he has unhindered power he will
fail to convince fair thinking people
that economy Is the cause actuating
his course in the present instance.
