HONOR FOR ARDMoRE MAN.

The title Hon." as it is commonly
used, signifies little or nothing. but
there is man at Ardmore who de-
serves it. He probably has no craving
for the honor which the prefix is sup.
posed to imply, since he has not seen
iit to diyulge his own name, being
quite content to do the deed which en-
titles him to il without acquiring any
lotoriety in connection with it, a cir
cumstance which speaks all the more
eloqnently in favor of him.
This unknown Ardmore man has
made a donation OF $1,000 for the city's
high school library The board of ed
ucation has accepted the money and it

MILlTARlsm AS A CAMPAIGN
ISSUE.

Readers of history will recall that
once upon time-in 1896 If our mem
ory is correct-the Democrats a.
tempted to make the peril OF militar-
ism one Of the paramount issues in a
presidential campaign. but the coun-
try was in the midst Of prosperity and
the people couldn't perceive the peril
very plainly. IN that campaign the
Republicans were on the defensive as
far as militarism was concerned.
Now we are facing the political bat
tie ir which, II Col Roosevelt has his
way, the combined Moose and G. o. r.
clans win attempt to push their pc.
culiar plans fer preparedness to the
front as the overshadowing issue, wag-
ing an offensive campaign upon It.
Again the country is prosperous anc
with business conditions constantly
improving
The parallel is reasonably clear
though, to be- sure, in the face of thf
altered state Of opinion brought about
by the great war. militarism gives
better promise as a burning issue
than it did in 1896. But in the event
That economic conditions continue to
improve. is there good reeson to sup
pose that the MoossRepu5lican corn
will be able to i8flame the
country with their demand for whole |
sale program of militarism?
There is the less likelihood Of sue
ness for the militarists in view OF
he fact that Woodrow Wilson stands

1aredness, going even further than

WORK ON THE RAILROADS.
Would BE More Of II n Unions
Were Reasonable.

To II EDITOR or TIVE SuN-Sir. Full
crew laws and many other laws in the
interests OF railway workers have been
enacted to provide more places for idle
men. All such laws hinder railroad de-
velopment, and unreasonable demands
for shorter hours n higher wages are
also n serious hindrance to railroad ex-
tensions much needed In many parts of
the country.
Such extensions can be made only out
OF railroad earnings or by the employ
ment OF fresh capital. Men with money
to invest are already fighting shy Of
railroad stocks and bonds.
With the handicap OF hostile laws and
strikes calculated to Increase greatly
the expenses Of the roads. raising money
for equipment and new lines is becoming
more and more dificult.
Has It ever occurred to any of the
brotherhood leaders that the way to
provide more work for the men In their
organizations is to give the roads larger
Incomes? II IL certain that a proper
ton would be spent In bettermcnts and
new lines, thereby providing employment
for thousands OF men not only on the
roads but In industrial establishments

Melons are becoming each year
moro of a crop both from the extent
q cultivation and commercial value.
An Indication Of this Is shown In the
estimates from eight States published
In the August monthly crop report.
Neither California, the chief canta-
loupe State, nor Texas. the great
watermelon State. Is included In this
list ; yet the increased acreage Is es-
timated ut about 5000. n gain OF IL
per cent. over 1915. Missouri claims
that the shipment OF watermelons
from that State this year will be
worth $4.OOO.O0O. almost ms much rs
the estimated value Of the country's
crop In 1909.
Early reports from the Agricultural
Department ignored melons. Now
they are classed among ''minor crops
along with hops and alfalfa, and
listed as "other vegetables" Scien-
tt6c farmers speak of melons as ECU
cumber allies" Who but n scientist
would Join up the red hearted water
melon with the tr%eacherous, trouble
making cucumber?
In official reports melons never
reach the tomato In value. United,
watermelon and c%antalOupe were
worth more than cabbage. But what
has been chiefly responsible for the
Increase In value is the improvement
In the cnntalOupe. A watermelon Is
. watermelon; the only thing to be
done with 1t Is to increase the size
and sweeuness of the heart. Growers
some time ago believed that the limit
was reached In both these respects.
But they are still experimenting with
the cantaloupe. The products Of a
certain Colorado valley several years
ago set n standard that every grower
has since sought to attain. More of
the melons were good and the chances
in favor Of the purchaser were
greater.
The melon crop is large this year
and the supply promises to continue
good. In the review Of crop condi-
lions cantalOupes and watermelons
both have a high average. The same
IL true Of many other of the minor
crops" There may he some consola-
ton In this to those pcsslmistic souls
who saw only national disaster In
the small wheat yield.

clerks, messengers and other en-
ployees; and It takes 5O.OOO,O 600 from

Major General O'Rysn's Salary.

1t Is asserted In Washington that
Major-General JOHN F. O'RYAN of
the New York National Guard Is In
receipt Of two salaries Of 5000 each,
one from the United States. the other
from this State.
Let 1t not be said again that the
military career offers no inducement
to ambitious men whose patriotic
longings are restrained by the neces.
sity OF providing for their dependent
families. General O'RYAN, assuming
the Washington report to be accu.
rate, receives n salary higher than
TINT paid to the Mayor Of New York 4;
higher than that paid to the Cover.
nor OF New York. These public SER
wants, 1t Is true, are engaged In purely
civilian activities. and 1t may be held
that the compensation Of n soldier.
who risks his life upon the field OF
battle. should be higher than that
provided for them.
Therefore the comparison of Gen.
eral ORYAN's pay with that Of other
military commanders In In order.
Great Britain pays a General $14,8OO

ORYAN draws. A Lieutenant.Ge

or practically two.thirds Of the sum
to General O'RyAN. In the army
OF the United States a Major-General
gets 5000, or one-half Of the amount
