ports an encouraging outlook for his
efforts in gathering Gata for the Ard

Never before has there been such
an opportune time to tell the state
and the outside world what has be-
come of Ardmore."
A year ago Ardmore was torn as
under by one of the most terrible
disasters of history. Today Ardmore
is one of the most prosperous cities
of her size in the nation. The state
wide number of the Oklahoman
makes a liberal proposition to Ard
more, and there is little doubt but
that the city will see to it that Ard
more's representation will be a credit
to Southern Oklahoma.
Mr. Dunlap was in Ardmore year
ago at the time of the terrible disas-
ter, and is a writer who is capable of
doing justice to the city as she was
then and Is now.

 IN PRIVATE HOMES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 19.-Officers of the law have the right to raid private homes in search of intoXi- eating liquor but cannot confiscate liquor held in excess of the amount permitted by the prohibition law un less there is evidence that the liquor was kept for the purpose of sale. This interpretation of the new prohibition law was made today by Superior Judge J. T. Ronald. who also held that the owners of intoXicants in ex cess of two quarts of spirituous or r quarts of malt liquors could be prosecuted for having an unlawful amount of liquor in their possession although the goods could not be seized
 The opinion was given in overrul- ing the demurrer to criminal informa tions filed against William F. Boeing the largest individual tax payer in King county. and John (. Eden, q wealthy manufacturer.
 Deputy Sheriffs January 20 raided the suburban home of Mr. Boeing, seized several thousand dollars worth of rare wines and liquor and filed in formation against him charging him with having possessed more than the quantity allowed by law. Liquor be- longing to Mir. Eden was seized Jan uary 19 when the sheriff raided the Rainer Club. Seattle's principal social club.

Senator Lewis read from the former New \ 0rk sen ators speeches in the senate oppOs- ing democratic proposal for inter vention in 1911 and the occupation of Vera cruz in 1914.

When Sen ator Stone introduced a resolution which sought power from the senate to direct President Tafr to act, Sen ator Root condemned the effort of the democracy to do the very thing which he now says should he done The senator from New York declared such a course would be step back ward in the path of civilization.
