LARGE CROWDS ATTEND
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The First Christian church, of this
city, has been crowded for several
Sunday evenings past to hear the
sermon lectures being delivered by
the pastor, DR.. J. w. Burns. Special
music of solos and anthems has also
been very attractive.
Tonight Dr. Burns will deliver a
sermon on the subject, Gods Call
to the Sleeper" and if it can be meas
ured by his recent discourses, the
church should again be crowded to
its capacity. DR.. Barns is a plain.
forceful and eloquent pulpit orator
He is quick of thought and has an at
tractive delivery.
Before the sermon tonight the male
quartet of the state normal school, at
Edmond. Oklahoma, will give a reci-
tai. Ardmore people rarely ever have
an opportunity of being royalty enter

in Ardmore has increased during the
past two months in spite of the hot
weather and we predict that there
will be no decline In attendance in
the future of the churches continue to
give their congregations something
worth while.

Mo-, said: Some persons say that
booze kills thousands. Perhaps it
does, but the worst evil of drinking is
the fact that it units one to do bust
ness. The drinkcr who abuses his
privilege neglects his business and
loses out. He then drinks more
heavily and later dies-but in the
majority of cases from some other
cause besides alcoholic poisoning.
Less liquor is being consumed for
the reason that in this day and age
the younger generation is learning
that they cannot consume large
quantities of alcoholic liquors and
attend to business.
"If the young learn that whiskey
is a medicine and not a beverage,
and that too much beer is as bad as
too much food, the problem is solved.
The dry locality is dangerous-be-
cause when you tell Young America
that he shall not have thing. he
is going to have it as sure as the
Lord made little apples"
And in the meantime, the fight goes
one-and it is tying up millions of
dollars in capital, for brewers will not
invest in uncertain times. Let us
have some common sense legislation,
limiting the sale of whiskey to medi-
cal use only, enforcing this point, and
making other less harmful beverages
less hard to get, and when we find
we can have them, We will worry less.
In short, teach the young to govern
themselves. and then the wet and dry
agitator will be out of a job, and more
neighbors will be on friendly terms
in local option towns.

rule, beer, vhiskey, wines-and in
fact anything containing alcohol.
When they win a victory they hold a
great jollifcation. a whole state
has gone dry" and the event is cele-
brated accordingly. The fact remains
however that all of the territory made
dry" so far does not equal the popu-
lation of the city of New York, which
is very damp.
And in the meantime, the festive
bootlegger is figuring how he is going
to get by"
One of the promises of the drys
/ that 1--WE will make ii so hot for th
/ bootlegger that he will have TO leave
He will be put out of business. The
saloon element will find out that We
will surely enforce the law
The fact is, however that the "sa-
Icon element" rarely goes into the
bootlegging business. The better class
of saloon men, when they lose the
fight in their home town, seek an
other town which is wet, and where
they can engage in business on a le-
gitimate basis. The bootlegger is in a
class by himself-the same as a thief
or a safe blower. SO long as he can
peddle rot-gut at SIS a gallon which
costs him 81, he is going to take a
chance, with the result that the So
called dry" territory is flooded with
liquid lightning, and beer-because it
is too bulky to conceal-is off the bill
of fare.
And now, for the sake of argument,
let US admit that the saloon has no
place in the American institution, but
that beer is allowed to be sold in GER
tain places-as was the case in Colo
RADIO Springs-but one was not al
lowed to drink it on the premises. The
person who wanted a bottle of beer
could buy it and take it home. 1t was
a matter of his own concern, and he
broke no law.
This cannot be done now, however,
and the festive bootlegger is plying
his trade in Colorado,-the same as
he is doing in all dry" territory, not.
withstanding the press notices sent
out by the "drys" to the contrary.
If the truth were known-and it
is known--the breweries would rather
conduct their business in the above
manner, as they often have serious
losses from saloon failures-for sa-
looms do fail-and saloon keepers alb
scond with money that ought to pay
their debts This may occur, how
ever, in any line of business, and is
hazard that any business would be
glad to avoid
1t is also fact that the brewery
interests are making arrangements TO
pull away from the whskey inter
ests, and even now in the east there
are many saloons licensed to sell only
beer.

WAS IN TROPICAL STORM
Mrs. Joel F. Buchanan Watched the
Waves Beat on Sea Wall.

Mrs. Joel F. Buchanan returned yes
torday at noon from Galveston. She
came just one day ahead of time and
her hurry was caused by the approach
OF the tropical storm. She states that
all day yesterday there were crowds
leaving Galveston. The tourists were
hurrying away but very few of the
Gclvestonians were frightened. Those
who left went out mostly on the troll
ley lines. These lines doubled their
number of cars and every car was
crowded as it left the city. About five
thousand people left Galveston. Mrs.
Buchanan visited the sea wall and
watched for a time the wonderful
play of nature. The waves rolled in
high and at terrific speed and burst
themselves into foam on the sea wall.
While the spectacle was grand, it was
somewhat too threatening and Mrs.
Buchanan left the city one day earlier
than she had expected to leave.
The storm seems to have missed
Galveston and gone to the south of
it, reaching the coast at Aransas Pass,
Corpus Christi and Brownsville.
