IT COULDN'T BE DONE

Somebody said that 1t couldn't be
done,
But he, with a chuckle replied,
That maybe 1t couldn't, but he'd be
the one
Who wouldn't say so Till he'd tried!
So he buckled right in, with bit
Of a grin
On his face. II he worried, he hid
1t.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he did 1t +.
Somebody scoffed: ooh, you'll never
do that;
At least, no one has ever done it,"
But he took off his coat and he
took off his hat,
And the first think we knew he'd be.
gun it:
With a lift OF his chin, and bit OF
grin.
Without any doubling or quibbling,
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he did 1t
There are thousands to tell you It
cannot be done;
There are thousands to prophesy of
failure;
TIL ere are thousands to point out to
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you;
But just buckle In with a bit OF a
grin,
Then take off your coat and 60 to Il;

SCANDALS IN SOCIETY
LEAK ON TELEPHONES

Oklahoma City, Jan. 5.-When q
telephone system leaks 1t is just as
bad as a leaking water or heating
system. The telephone system at
Ardmore is in that condition, accord.
ing TO complaints that have been filed
with the corporation commission.
City Attorney Russell Brown OF
Ardmore has gathered up all of the
complaints about the leaks in the
system of the Pioneer Telephone Co.
at that place and filed them with the
commission. Some Of the complaints
are made by oil men, who say their
conversation over the telephone lines
is known to others who have no right
to hear it, and that everything said
over telephone line is no longer
a secret.
Many of the complaints are made
by women and they say the secrets
OF society in Ardmore have been scat.
tered broadcast. II a wedding is to
take place and Is to be known only
to select few, 1t must be whisper
ed and nothing must be said about
it over the telephone. 1t is the same
way with scandals. Some persons
who occupy high positions have been
involved through the leaking tele.
phones.
The compliments ask that the tele.
phone company be compelled to find
the leaks and stop them. Families in
Ardmore who have been friendly for
years. now are enemies on account
of the gossip that has leaked out over
the telephone wires. Party lines
are not to blame for it, the complain
ants allege, but leaks that can only
be accounted for by telephone being
secretly attached to the wires.

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
MEETING

Harmony was the keynote of the
meeting. In everything that was
done was the spirit OF deciding what
was best for the party as whole.
There was no striving for either per-
sonal or sectional advantage. Even
the taking away of nearly a hundred
delegates from the Southern States
was done by unanimous vote. The
Republicans from the South saw
their former strength in the national
convention cut down without pro
test. They said that IL such action
would help the party in the nation 1t
should be done and the AK used firm
ly no matter where the chips fell. 1t
has been many year since a meet
ing of the Republican Committee OF
the country was carried on with such
an absence of friction.
There was, too a strong feeling Of
confidence as to the outcome In 1916
There was no foolish sentiment tina
victory would come, no matter wha
the party did between today and mex
November. There was the sentiment
among all the committeeman thai
there was before the party a mans
sized fight next year, but that wis'
action would bring victory and tha
kind OF action was what would b.
carried on.
Fromsaii parts of the country cam
the reports that the voters were no
being deceived by the false issues
which Democracy is trying to keep Il
the fore. The fact that all Europe
is in a conhagration only emphasizes
the more our own duty to ourselves

SMITHS INDICTMENT OF
THE ADMINISTRATION

The first speech of the present SEES
sion Of the United States senate is
a Democratic indictment Of the Dem
ocratic administration.
Senator Hoke Smith OF Georgia
calling on congress to take up the
question of American rights at sea,
declared that the state department
had failed in its efforts to that end
and boldly advocated legislative inter
vention.
Republicans who have much less
concerning the ineffectiveness Of the
administration have been piliioried
as petty fault finders, disloyally at.
tempting to embarrass their govern
ment for political purposes.
What, now, will be said with ref
erence to the motives OF Senator
Smith? Illinois State Journal.

IN THE SILENCE

Not long ago a legal light in Wash
ington had occasion to call upon a
certain official Of the Treasury De
partment whose softly modulated
voice has gained him the designation
OF the silent one"
The messenger to this official stop,
ped the lawyer as he was going into
the room, saying that MS chief was
mot in"
"Oh, yes. he Is" said the lawyer,
hes in there!" and he pointed to
the room, the inside OF which was not
visible from where he stood.
But, sir-but," began the puzzled
and bewildered messenger, how do
you know that"
Because" chuckled the visitor,

CLEAN HANDED JOBS

Two men were discussing the Other
day, in the hearing Of the writer the
question of relative pay in different
employments. One man was a book
keeper, and one was locomotive en-
gineer.
Apparently the first was getting
something like $3.50 day. and the
latter nearly twice as much.
"Everybody's getting pretty tired
of the way your crowd is hogging it.
was the way the bookkeeper put it,
after his dander had risen several
degrees. 1T takes as much brains
to be a bookkeeper as to be an en-
gineer, and yet you get nearly twice
the pay. 1t raises the cost of living
for everyone else"
The above mentioned dispute rails
ed question that this newspaper
could not try to settle. About all
you could say is that the two CALI
ings require two very different types
OF brains. One may not be superb
VI W thO othOi, thoubh GO 'hihoo oO
one is in greater demand. The engi-
neer would have mussed the other
mans books In a hopeless tangle of
wrong credits. The bookkeeper
would scarcely have known the bell
rope from the steam gauge.
Not many years ago bookkeeping
jobs were deemed more gentlemanly.
A bookkeeper could belong to select
clubs from which the red flannel shirt
ed engineer was excluded. But now
the presence of women In clerical
work has lowered wages. Anything
that can be done with pen, ink and
typewriter, women can do as well
as men, and often with a more meth
,odical accuracy.
The trend of the times is to drive
men into more constructive work,
even IL billed" shirt Is discarded
for overalls. The man who grapples
at first hand with steam and steel
and electricity usually gets higher
pay than the man who sits in an of.
fic and who merely records the
things that other men have done.
Wherefore don't be afraid to get
your hands dirty, boys! Remember
that it's a world OF dirt and dust and
smoke. The farther away you get
from all the CRIME. the less your
share of its rewards Is apt to be!

to accept the temporary loan awarded
us by the city," President Charles w.
Jordan of the German-Americany bank
said I'VE were informed that there
were legal technicalities involving this
loan which might require court inter-
pretaticns"
1t is understood that the attorneys
with this bank conceded with the
views of A. M. Gardner, attorney for
the Dickinson Trust company, and
John L. Rupe, attorney for the Second
National bank, that because no pro-
vision had been made for an appro-
priation of tax funds to be applied
toward the purchase OF the privately
owned plant the temporary loan of
$4,000 recently authorized by the city
council was invalid. The only attor-
ney who agreed with City Attorney
Bond that councils action was legal
was c. E. Shiveley, representing the
First National bank. That bank, how
ever, did not submit bid for the loan.
Attorney Gardner holds to the opin-
ion that the only way the city can now
finance the purchase project is to
issue bonds
If an $4,000 bond issue is author
lied the city's credit will be advanced
to within $4,000 OF its legal indebted
ness limit.
