Why NOT HAVE:
MILITARY BAND
IN hRDMORE?
ONLY CITY ON EARTH THAT
CANNOT BOAST OF PUBLIC MU-
SlCAL ORGANIZATION - WHY
NOT GET BUSY2

Ardmore has the unique distinction
of being the only city of its size in
the known world that cannot boast
of a public musical organization. In
other words, a military bond. To be
sure, there are several private in
stitutions here, but the fair associa-
tion is going to be compelled to go
outside to secure music for the fair
this fall, and this, too in the face of
the fact that there are at least one
hundred competent musicians in the
city who would be glad to become
members of a good band under a com
petont director.
The Chamber of Commerce should
get busy. 4 good director can he Sc
cured for $50 per month, A cheaper
man would be a liability and not an
asset. The city could well afford to
do something in this line, and the
Chamber of Commerce and the Busi-
ness Mems association should get a
move on themselves.

Two Years.

The third year of the great war is
advancing upon the world over hears
of predictions unfulflled and wisdom
proved folly. Experts of 1914-~tinan.
cial, military, political-are LEFT IN
1916 confronting their own forecasts
dashed to the earth. What has been
we know, but what the future holds
in store we can but guess. Any re-
view of the two terrible years past
must be SOLDERING. 1t is no tine for
confident prophecies. The most hat
one can do with profit is to recall the
general attitude and beliefs Of the
end of July 1914, and compare them
with those that prevail now.
Some things have changed. Among
them is the view of war. It's glitter
and pomp have been stripped from
it before the eyes of all mankind.
The worst that poets and prophets
of righteousness have said Of it has
been outstripped in actual horror
Shelley's impassioned outcries against
war are too feeble to express the
universal eXecration which has been
poured out upon this gigantic conflict
in Europe. ApOlogists for war still
lnger. but the former praisers of war
now hide their heads. They never
meant this kind of terror. Imagine
even General Bernhard venturing
now to write: "War is as divine and
necessary as eating and drinking
And men of a higher type, like the
late Admiral Mahan, who used to
speak of war as something repul-
sive. to be sure, but yet a needful
instrument in the providential gov
ernment of the world, would not today
have the hardhood to maintain that
doctrine openly. Good may be wrung
out of evil, we admit; the wrath of
man may be made to praise the Eter-
nal: but the evil itself can not be
challenged. War is the scourge of
the human race. If there was any
doubt of this before, the two years
lust past have forever destroyed it.
The great general staff knew every
thing that could be known about war,
and utilized thousands of the finest
brains and years of tireless energy for
the purpose of making sure that no.
thing could escape it. And yet, with
all the wonderful display in arms
which the Germans have made, what

Fort Smith, Ark, was recommended
by the convention as the meeting
place for the association in 1911.
Definite decision is referred however,
to an executive committee consisting
of the officers elected Thursday
The convention went on record as
favoring a change throughout the
country which will bring about a four
year term for all sheriffs. Objection
TO the two-year term is that officials
barely become efficient when their
term OF office expires. A countrywide
influnce will be brought to bear on
state legislation.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Since 1892 the Pennsylvania rail

been about $7O,O0O,OO0.
1t is stated that much of the pas

west and heavy Sunday traffic are
the features of vocational travel this

Great Lakes traffic is reported to be

The refusal of the New York Cen

A new phase of the Safety y-first'

is the story of the last two years but
one long record of German plans mis-
carried and German hopes shriveled
in the blast of war? II is plain now
that those hard-headed "realsts" of
war were capable of enormous miscal-
culations, and in many ways acted
like dreamers. In particular did they
make one fatal omission in their
reckonings. They catalogued all the
information to be had from all lands.
They had pigeon holes for knowledge
of all kinds. But they forgot the soul
of man.
This suggests the one thing that
has been permanent in all the fluX of
the two years behind us. The moral
judgments of the world have stood
firm. Nothing which has since hap
pened has altered them. The con-
science of mankind responds today as
instantly and sensitiyely as it did in
those first days of August, 1914, to
the challenge made to it by those who
took the first steps in the war, and
especially by the deliberate outrage
inflicted upon Belgium. Under the re-
proach of that shameless deed, Ger,
many continues to suffer- and will to
the end of the war, no matter how
if che ig ,yiatnr-
ious she will blanch and turn away
her face at the whisper of the word
belgium" And as for that other
crime Of hers which incarnadined the
multitudinous seas-the sinking Of the
Lusitania-there has not been the
slightest abatement, in the lapse of
time, either of the horror with which
civilized men look upon the deed, or
of the sternness of the condemnation
which they visit upon the heads of
those responsible for it. In this cast
ing of the moral suffrage against Ger
many there lies the one element of
the world war in which there has
been no shadow of turning. "Securus
judicat orbis terrarum"
1t is, in fact, the knitting together
of the moral alliance against German
militarism which is the great feature
of the close of the second year of the
war. The resources and the men
were always there, to make head
against the German armies, but they
could have been got together and
utilized only by nations having a great
issue and a great moral unity. And
these Germany, as if led by an evil
genius, has herself furnished to her
enemies. Against another, they might
have been divided. With another,
they might have made a separate
peace. But when they were clearly
shown what they had to fight, they
were thrown back upon those springs
of moral action and those heroisms
of the soul which your material-mind-
ed militarist can neither understand
nor conquer. This is what really
makes the allies invincible. Their
military prospects seem of the fair
est, as they now close in upon the
German forces from all sides. But
as to this We make no predictions.
All that we would point out is that
an invisible ally has all along fought
against Germany, and still presses her
back. This is the adverse moral
judgment Of impartial men. - New
York Evening Post.

its little mountain valley yesterday
and carried with them millions of dol
lars worth of property today return
ed to its narrow bed. Fully fifty
persons are known to have been
lost, and men in charge of the many
relief parties already at work feel
that this number will be considerably
increased when the frightened miners
and their families have returned to-
their homes and the count is com
pleted.
Trail of Casualties.
Five persons were drowned at Esk-
dale, five at United, sixteen at Fern
dale, eight at Miami, two at Dawes.
four at Dry Branch, four at Holly
and five at Giles, while lineman re-
turning from a thirteen-mile tramp
through the devastated districts re-
ported forty dead along his route. All
Of these losses were not sustained in
the Cabin Creek valley, some of them
being on the Coal river side of the
mountain.
The flood came upon the people
early Wednesday morning. w. A..
Smith. an insurance broker of Cincin-
natti, who was in the district, de-
clared that water rolled down the
narrow valley, foam crested, and from
his point of vantage on an engine at
Askdale, where he and others had
taken refuge he saw the roundhouse
fill with ten feet of water in less than
half an hour while the flood stretched
from hill to hill across the valley.
Houses were swept from their foun-
dations and women and children were
hurriedly leaving their homes, and in
some instances were drowned before
they could reach the hills.
Carbide Supply Explodes.
The flood came. in contact with the
carbide supply of moving picture
theatre at Eskdale and it exploded,
! blowing the place to pieces. The
Cabin Greek Coal company lost 125
cars of coal at Crane Fork, the cars
and coal being washed away, while
! fifteen feet of mud and sand was de
posted in their place. A street car
nival company showing at De Sofa
lost all Of its equipment and animals

Troops Start Relief Work.
Early in the day the first battalion
of the Second West Virginia infantry
! set out from its camp near here for
the valley and by noon Major Ride
nour had established headquarters at
Ronda, four miles from Cabin Creek
Junction, from which to direct relief
measures. The men took with them
tents and large quantities of supplies,
and more were forwarded to them
| later in the day.
Other relief forces we're set in mo-
ton today by oil, mining and railroad
