Nation Can Be Exterminated"

Washington, June lS.-W. J. Bryan's
third and concluding section of his
statement on The Causeless War"
suggests mediation as the way out"
He urges universal extension of his
peace treaty plan, providing that all
disputes shall be arbitrated within a
year. He also would have a world
wide educational movement to Guilt
vate the spirit of brotherhood among
nations.
mo great nation can be extermi-
mated" said Bryan, "and even if it
were possible to exterminate one, it
would be a crime no other nation
would want to commit"
Bryan said peace can be restored
at any time now if the participants.
really weary of the war are ready for
the end.
Bryan suggested that if any nation
is not ready to make peace, its ruler
should state clearly the terms upon
which such nation would make peace
and then, if an agreement was not
reached, the blame could be placed.
Bryan would have the United States
keep on again and again" offering
mediation, and would have other neu-
trails do the same, until some offer is
accepted.

is astounding and to one who goes
no further into the matter, it would
appear that the jails are being emp
tied of bootleggers at a very rapid

of the parole officer is to collect the
fines that are due the state and TO
enable the bootleggers to support
their families while saving the state
the cost OF their keep.
When a bootlegger has served the
Jail part of his sentence and has re-
naming a matter of SIS fine and costs
to be paid, instead of permitting the
prisoner to lie in Jail at the rate of
81 day, he paroles him, conditioned
that the fine and costs will be paid
in certain time. This saves the
state the cost of boarding the pris-
oner, collects the fine and enables the
lawbreaker to support his

DORN|CK HILLS
COUNTRY CLUB
OPENS DOORS
MAGNIFICENT CLUB HOUSE AND
GROUNDS FORMALLY OPENED
YESTERDAY - RECEPTION AND
DANCE LAST NIGHT.

When Perry Maxwell stood in the
receiving line and welcomed the
members and guests at the Dornick
Hills Country club house last night at
the first reception rendered by the
club, the dream he has harbored for
several years was realized, and the
ambition to give the city a country
club that would not only be a de
light to the members but a credit to
the city was gratified in the highest
degree.
The house warming of the club was
decidedly the greatest social event
of the season, and one long to be re
membered by all who were fortunate
enough to attend. Early yesterday
morning the grounds were thrown
open to the public and all day long
crowds from the city were there ad-
miring the club house and grounds
Last night, at the reception and dance,
the number of guests completely filled
the house and spacious .17rches, and
every one was in his happiest mood,
as they exchanged congratulations
with each other for being among
those present" Lowenstein's orches-
ira furnished the music for the oc-
casion and rendered a fine musical
program, while the guests were max
ing preparations to enjoy the dance.
Several golfers from Tulsa, Okla
homa City and Muskogee were expect
ed. but at the last moment wired
their regrets. Among these was Mr..
Frederickson of Oklahoma City, hold
er of the state championship.
The success of yesterday and last
nights reception was a source OF
worked so earnestly for the success
of the club. They were made to feel
that their efforts were appreciated
and that the city was grateful for the
result of their labor |
Those who know state that nothing |
of the kind in the state can compare
with the Dornick Hills Country club |
for appointments and attractive beau
ty. Every convenience has been pro-
vided for the members and their .
friends, and nothing has been over
looked by Mr. Maxwell, to whom
most of the credit is due for this in
for the convenience of Wis
Itors.
The Dornick Hills Country club is
a credit to the city. 1t would be a
credit to a city many times the size
Of Ardmore. and now that it is com
pleted, it will be the most popular
resort for its membership at all sea,
sons.
