Leading Turk is
ASHAMED to Hauue

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, July 81
The appointment as Turkish minister
at The Hague of Muktar Bey, who,
according to advices from CONSTANT
nople, is one of the best diplomats Of
the Young Turks, is interpreted by
the Dutch press as showing that the
porte iinputes a special importance to
this post in connection with the role
which Holland and its queen are ex-
pected to play in eventual mediation
for the opening Of peace negotiations,
and with the probability that such
negotiations will take place here.
Muktar Bey was under secretary OF
state at the ministry of foreign at
fairs in Constantinople at the time of
his appointment, and before the war
minister at Athens. He is just over
40 and is described as an excellent
public speaker and cosmopolitan by
nature.

(From a stan Correspondent)
Lincoln, July 3l.-(Special.)-Ih
State Railway commission has called
upon A. c. Ridgway, chief operating
official OF the Rock Island railway,

why with elevators overlooking with
grain on its Nebraska lines, it has
sent out orders to its station agents
in Nebraska to ship all empty box
cars to points in Kansas.
The commission has proof so it re-
lates, that such an order has gone
forth and that grain shippers in this

Candidate for County Commissioner
from the First District.

In this issue of the Ardmoreite ap
pears the announcement of G. W
(Bud) Young as a candidate for the
Office OF county commissioner from
the first commissioners district. Mr.
Young is now serving his second term
as county commissioner and it was
not his purpose to ask for reelection,
having made up his mind to seek an
other office. However, so many of his
constituents petitioned him TO again
make the race that he yielded to their
entreaties and now asks the voters of
his district to re-elect him.
Mr.. Young needs no introduction to
the democracy of Carter county or to
this section OF the state, for more than
forty years he has been resident of
what is now Carter county and dur
ing all that time has ever been found
fighting for the rights of the people.
He is a democrat without reproach,
and whenever the party calls, he al
ways responds with energy and means
to help win its battles. For many
years before statehood he was a mem
ber of the Chickasaw legislature, and
is we'll versed in the political game
He spent his money to educate the
Indian and white children of his neigh
borhood when they had not the means
of their own to do so before statehood
His record since holding his present
office is an open book, and the tax
payers can rest assured that their
interests have been most faithfully
guarded by Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Young as farmer and business
man has made a success of his person
nal affairs and there is no man in
the county better qualified to fill the
office to which he aspires than he. He
makes no rash promises that cannot
be fulfilled after election, but does as.
sert that if the people re-elect him, he
will guard their interests as faithfully
as though they were his own.

ARDMoRE MARDI GRAs

The Dallas fair was largely made
by The Dallas News. While pro
gressive spirit had to prevail with the
citizenship and while their co-opera'
tion was necessary, still the co-opera.
tion of the paper was also required,
and if there had been no Dallas
News there would have been no such
Dallas fair as there is today.
In this state, the Oklahoman is
largely making the Oklahoma state
fair The cooperation of that paper
is doing more than we can realize,
for the building of great institution
out of the annual fair, and while the
enterprise is hampered more or less
now for want of funds, it is not TO
the discredit of the institution nor TO
the state but it is due to the lack of
age which brings prestige. When
the oklahoma fair has been operated
as long as the Dallas fair has, it will
be equally as great and it will pay
equally as well.
While those papers have contribu-
ted to the growth of those institu-
tions, The Ardmoreite is not unmind-
full of what it owes to the Ardmore
Style Show, which it hopes to see
built into the Mardi Gras of south
