Democratic Advice to the President

Whether there will be an extraordinary session of congress uncertain. but the chances are that the congress will not be summoned ny the president Administration newspapers, of undoubted loyalty the president but not sharing his chaerih at the failure of the ship purchasing bil are ao- vising him against extraordinary session They inform him that it will necessarily be harmful to the party.
 They might add that in the new congress the ship purchasing bill would fare even worse than in the present one. The membership of the senate in which the bill has unconquerable obstruction will be practically the same as the present, both Ill numbers and personnel But the democratic majority of the new house will be greatly reduced that there with the prestige of the president dimin- ishd by congressional elections last fall 1t Is doubtful whether the bill would receive the ap- proval of the majority.
 It may be suspected that the president cares less for the ship purchasing bill than he does for a demonstration Of his influence which has waned remarkably within the last two years. Nc one be- heees if the bill were passed with that provision fol the purchase of interned ships which the chief objection has been raised. that the admins traitor would invite the dispeasure Britain by making of it.
 In the early days of the present congress there was no legislation which the president could not force upon an unwilling majority apprehensve of the country's loyalty to him. The tariff bill was passed in it's present form against the wishes of q ma iority of the democratic members. The repeal of the free tolls provision of the canal act crammed down rebellious throats. It not until after the November election of last year that the majority dared declare that it the captain of its soul, and now it is declaring it in season and out of season.
 For the sake of party harmony alone, it might endorse the ship purchasing bill which in the cir cumstances would do neither good nor harm. There will probably be less desire in the next legislature for democratic harmony

Some recently ac- tive specialties like Mexican Petro- leum, American Tobacco and motor stocks scored omre material advances. The weak features included New Haven, Southern Railway preferred. and pressed steel car preferred, all touching new nirimum prices.
 Pressed steel declined eight points. Baltimore and Ohio common also came within fractional range of it's new minimum of 63; while the department stores showed lack of support with q perpendicular de cline of almost nine points.
 All foreign exchange markets were more stable Domesticc monetary movements showed a slight hardening of rates for long time accommodations but interior banks continued to lend funds freely. The probable success of the Anaconda copper note of fering which coincides with the ad- vance in price of copper metal to tfifteen cents was the most interest 1 ing financial development.

COMMERCE DRIVING OUT OLD plAvHoUsEs

New York's old time theater-goers will view with a certain regret the present commercial build ing movement that is resulting in the destruction of practically the last of the cty's older thea ers Within a week virtually every remaining playhouse of historic fame figured in the such presage it's finish in the legitimate field and ultimate removal for commercial improvement The Bijou is to make way for skyscraper loft: Wallack's very likely will be treated in similar manner; Weber's is in the market for sale at sS50. 0O0-$345.00O below the assessed valuation of the property for 1914 and Dalys has become bur lesque house!
 Located in the theater center further north these old theaters might continue be popular for sentimental reasons. But this is era of prog and senthnent cannot stop the wheels from going round. Trade has gradually crowded the amusement center northward. and within paratively short period the 'theater row of old has assumed the proportions of a 'sauare' half mile further uptown.

ASSOCIATION
QUARTERLY SESSION OF THIS
ASSOCIATION WILL BE HELD IN
ARDMORE TUESDAY, NOVEM-
BER 80.

The last meeting of the Carter
County odd Fellows association was
held at Wilson in August There it
was decided the next session should
be held in Ardmore Tuesday, Novem-
Der 30. 1t must be understood that
no one for a moment thought of the
destruction of our hall, at that time,
due from the casing-head gas explos-
ion, which has for the time left the
lodge homeless. Nothing daunted,
however, the committee has been per-
sistent in its duties, and today wish
to herald to the Odd Fellows of Car
ter county, to the odd Fellows of
southern Oklahoma, to all Odd Fell
wives and daughters, - yes, and
to their sweethearts, also to
the citizens Of Ardmore and the public
in general, that the noble order b. p.
o. f., the Best People on Earth, have
in a most fraternal spirit rendered
the Odd Fellows the use of their
spacious halls and parlors for this oc-
casion. This committee has also
scored triumph in securing the pres
ence of the grand sire> of all odd
Fellows, highest ranking officer in the
world, Hon. J. B. A. Robertson who
will deliver an address in the after
noon, as will another stellar light,
Hon. f. r. Norvell, grand master of
the state Within themselves, these
two "high-up' Odd Fellows will prove
a drawing card for every Odd Fellow
who can hear of their being here.
This will be an open session for ev'
eryone and as both gentlemen are
orators of note, we can but predict
full house. This committee has fur
ther arranged to have some special
music at this time. Several of our
noted lady singers have kindly con
sented to take part in the program,
1t will be a feast of oratory and mu
sic rarely equaled in any city and
never before in fraternal circles in
the state Of Oklahoma.
At the close of the open session
the association will meet for. trans
action of its business, and at night a.
secret session of Ardmore lodge No.
6 will be held, with the grand sire,
grand master, several past grand mas
ters and other notable members of
the order present. and every Odd
Fellow has an idea of what will hap
pen. and Of course will be there.
Come.

with the committee, and of this num-
ber. 1924 had been settled and closed.

port home in the southeast portion
of the city. Both Of these people
