WELCOME, NEW NEIeHsoRs

Probably at no time in the history
of Chickasha have we had a larger in
flux OF new residents than we have
had during the past few months. You
will find them next door to you, across
the street and in the next block. All
of these people have come to live in
Chickasha and we should make them
feel at home. No matter how large q
town Chickasha may become we hope
the day Will never arrive when all of
us here will not feel that we are
neighbors and as such cultivate the
neighborly spirit.
Many people have come here to take
advantage of our excellent school fa-
cilities, others to engage in business
Of various kinds, and still others are
teachers in the public schools or col
lege We should make it our business
to welcome all of these manifesting
toward them the friendly attitude
which will convince them that Chick
asha is the best place in the country
to live.
The men and women of the city
alike have a duty to perform in serv-
ing as members of the welcome COM
mittee. Have you looked around to
see how many strangers have moved
into your neighborhood? How long
has it been since they moved into our
midst? 1t isn't necessary Ito limit
your activity as member of the well
come committee to the particular part
Of the town in which you live. Your
jurisdiction includes the entire town,
and whether you meet these new resi-
dents on the street, at church, at So
cial affairs or elsewhere, you are to
give them to understand that we are
mighty glad to have them in Chicka-
sha.

A PROGRESSIVE VIEW

Elected to congress as a Progree-
sive, James H. Mays of Utah, a con-
sistent Republican all his life before
he entered the Moose fold, has come
out squarely for Woodrow Wilson. IN
the course of a recent speech on the
floor of the House, Mr.. Mays said;
"Realizing finally that the Republi-
can party had become so involved that
it was not the medium through which
the will of the common people could
find expression, l became Progress
sive and assisted in the organization
of that party, being sent from my
state, Utah, as delegate to the first
national convention in Chicago in 1912,
by which the platform entitled A Con-
tract with the People, was adopted.
Upon that platform l was elected to
this House as a Progressive. Despite
having been Republican by heredity
Progressive by conviction, now
support woodrow Wilson.
"a positive lack Of confidence, an
absolute distrust is expressed by Pro
gressives everywhere. Who can say
that any evidence of reform or change
of heart has been furnished? The
question as to the new allegiance Of
the four million votes supporting the
Progressive ticket Of 1912 is really the
most important politically of the hour
They are not controlled by the old
time prejudices and cannot be traded
to any party at the dictation Of self
appointed boss. These people were
sincere and of high intelligence. They
we're intensely patriotic and deeply in

terested in the welfare Of the humble
people of moderate means and those
unfortunate people without any means.
They were students Of economic CON
ditions. They adopted g platform
which for clearness Of expression OF
humanitys needs, has rarely been
equaled. The rank and file of that
party firmly believe in the necessity
of the enactment of those principles
and promises into legislation. They
still believe so. They still distrust the
bosses and representatives of the in
terests who ruled the Republican par
ty in 1910 and 1912, and rule it nov
with even more arrogance and self
assurance. What will the Progress
sives do? Should Progressives now
forget the demands OF that platform
should they ignore the blessing Of
peace preserved to their country?
"They will not show such ingrati-
tude. On the contrary they will sus-
tain the president. They will uphold
his hands. They viii rebuke the
scheming demagogues and the intem-
perate iingoes. They will repudiate
the bargains of the bosses selling their
birth-right without their consent. They
win not be delivered as planned at the
billion dollar dinner. They will justly
approve those acts which have crys-
tallized into laws the fundamental
principles Of the party's contract with
the people"

OF course it is to be expected that
some people will say that President
Wilson was merely playing politics
when he took a hand in the controyer-
sy between the railroads and the
trainmen and prevented one OF
the greatset disaster that ever
threatened the country. 1t is
always part of the game
Of politics to discredit the motives OF
public men, no matter how disinterest-
ed or patriotic the service they may
render. The administration put it UP
to the managers of the roads and the
men to make concessions in the inter-
est of the public and when the former
proved recalcitrant it appealed to con-
gress for measures to avert the I'M
pending calamity. AS the head of the
government the president did what
the people expected of him and that is
a pretty fair brand of politics to play.
Having delivered the goods in his US
ual manner, there is little reason for
Wilson to worry over what prejudiced
critics may have to say about his ac-
tion.

It has been demonstrated in Chicka-
sha that the problem of tanning the
motor car is not as serious one as i
has generally been supposed to be.
While few Of the animals still show
tendency to cut capers that violate
the law, as a matter of fact the oper-
ations of single traffic officer who
had no other idea than to do his duty
have already worked wonders in check
ing the speed mania and curbing the
iay drivers. There are only few
simple rules to be observed in order to
make the streets reasonably safe and
it requires only few lessons for driy-
ers to learn these rules. Sammy
Dwyer has been bringing about a kind
of "silent revolution in our streets
and he deserves commendation for the
success Of his efforts. Drivers of bug
gies. wagons and all other vehicles are
amenable to the same regulations as
the motorist and all should cooper ate
with the officers in making Chickasha
a jayless town.
