Editorial Opinion
IN FIFTEEN WORDS.

From the New York Sun.
A great truth OF politics has sell
dom been presented more clearly or
in fewer words than by Oscar w. I'm
derwood, Of Alabama. in the United
States Senate on Labor Day:
ANY party which surrenders fun
damental principles TO the exigencies
of the hour is counting defeat"
Senator Underwood was speaking Of
the surrender of a fundamental prin-
ciple of his party in the matter Of
the protective tax on imported dve-
stuffs; but his remark applies with
equal force to that surrender of fun
damental principles, at the soIicita-
ton Of Woodrow Wilson and for HIS
benefit. which has stained the honor
OF the American Congress with \
deeper stain than any dyestuff. Ger
man or domestic, could ever impart.

|S SCENE OF
SHOOTING
TAKES SHOT AT
ANOTHER MAN IN FRONT OF
DRUG STORE THIS MORNING -
NOT SERIOUS.

1t seems that every time a rounder
or "hop-head" takes a notion to pot
shot some real or fancied enemy, he
selects the main thoroughfare of the
city to do his target practice, regard
less of the danger to innocent by
ISLANDERS. This has been the usual
occurrence lately, and this morning
an alleged sleigh rider" by the name
of Chas. Byers, shot at A. b. Williams,
sheet metal worker, in front of the
City Drug Store, and but for the fact
that Williams was enjoying his lucky
day, he would now be corpse. The
bullet, from a cheap .3S-caliber pistol,
hit Williams in the left temple, over
the eye, followed the contour of the
skull. and emerged over his left ear.
After the shooting, Byars was taken
in charge By Officers Frazier and
Kendall and lodged in the county Jail,
with the charge of assault to commit
murder registered against him.
Williams walked to the Hardy sani-
tarium where his wound was dressed,
and then went to his boarding house.
Byars will be given preliminary
hearing at once, and his case will
probably be heard at thS coming term
of district court.
Byars is well known about town,
hut has always been considered harm
less. At the Jail this morning he re-
fused to state the cause of the trouble,
but officers say that in all probability
it was imaginary upon his part.

ARDMORE IS
IN NEED Of A
BRASS BAND
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO SECURE
INSTRUCTOR AND ORGANIZE
BIG AGGREGATION IN THE CITY
BACKED BY c. OF c.

There is a growing demand in this
city for a well organized brass band
and the matter is being seriously con-
sdered by the Chamber of Commerce.
The officers are desirous of having
musical organization in the city
so that when the necessity arises they
will not be compelled to send TO other
places for a band to furnish music, as
they have been compelled to do for
some time past
Correspondence has been opened
with several competent teachers and
directors to come here and locate per.
manently. The Chamber of Com
merce is prepared to offer an at
tractiye contract to the right man,
and they are going to be sure and
secure such Il man before the deal is
closed.
Ardmore has several musicians who
have had years of experience in band
work, but for the past few years
they have lad no incentive to keep
up their practice, and therefore are
stale. This would form the nucleus
of good band, something commensu-
rate with the size and Importance of
the city.
Several citizens of wealth have sta
ted that they would contribute liber-
ally toward such an organization, and
there is no doubt but what before the
the summer is far advanced there will
be well equipped band under way.
