JAPANESE IMMIGRATION

When John d. Works speaks on
the Japanese immigration situation
the people of the United States are
inclined to listen. Mr. Works is in
the United States senate from Califor-
mia, he is an aged man and is ripe in
experience. He comes from the state
where most of the trouble is had with
the Japanese, and It is his opinion
that the japanese should not be al
lowed to emigrate to this country.
Not that the American is better than
the Jap. but because the two races
of people are entirely different, be
cause they can never live and work in
harmony together, and as long as
the Japs are in California in any con-
siderable numbers, there will always
be trouble with them.

w. |. Cruce always did love red
headed members of the opposite sex
As a boy his sweethearts were Sc.
lected from those who had suits of
red hair, and he has just returned
from Illinois, where forty years ago
he and little red headed girl set out
an elm bush. The bush then was
only a few inches high, but their
feet packed the dirt about it, boards
were driven up about it to protect it
from the feet of the children as they
played over the campus, and today
the elm tree is three feet thick and
is favored spot on the old campus.
win Cruce went to school there 40
years ago. 1t was 100 miles from
his home. He left there July 4, 1876,
and never went back until July 4.
1916. He was there but short time
and saw but one man whom he knew
and that man was 80, years of age.
He did not learn of the whereabouts
of the little girl, but he has kept her
In mind, as John Greenleaf Whittier
kept in mind the little girl who missed
a word spelled by him and he re-
fused to take her place.
Mr.. Cruce said he travelled in a two.
horse wagon from that school to his
home in Marion, Ky 1t required two
and a half days time to make the
trip. The same road is covered now
in two and half hours. That makes
a difference for forty years to create.
Tie left here July and enjoyed the
visit back home.
His memory of the school house was
that it was a very large and imposing
structure. He sees now that it was
not so large and so fine. He remem-
bered the campus as a great, broad
affair which lent dignity to the build
ing, but he says the campus is not
nearly so large as he had it pictured
in his memory

RA|NF ALL PUT
G|NGER|N THE
CANDIDATES
PAST THREE DAYS HAVE BEEN
MOST STRENUOUS ON THOSE
WHO WOULD ASSIST PEOPLE
RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

The recent rains not only made the
crops of Carter county look exceed
ingly better but it had a livening
effect upon candidates who are striv-
ing with might and main to be the
choice of the people in the coming
primary election one week from next
Tuesday.
Picnics by day and public speak
ings at night have run the candidates
nearly off their feet and they are
welcoming the fact that the agony
will soon be a thing of the past and
they will then have time to catch up
with little of their lost sleep.
Friday night there was a gathering
at Lone Grove and another at the
Hignight school house east of the
city. The candidates for the most
part hied themselves to one of these
places and after they had made
their little speech jumped into a Jit-
ney and hit the road in high places
for the other the result was that
most of them never found their
couches until long after midnight,
and then only to have their dreams
shattered by visions of their hated
rival or rivals installed in office while
they were left out in the cold world
Yesterday the biggest picnic held
so far this season was at Springer
and every candidate in the county
was there for two reasons, first they
wanted to tell the large audience that
assembled that they wanted a job for
the next two years, and secondly, the |
good people and wealthy farmers
about Springer advertised that there |
would be all the barbecued meat nee
essary for all, hot off the fire to-

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Government ownership keeps bob
bing up from one time to another,
and 1t is probable that sentiment in
favor of this principle of government
is growing. Five members from the
senate and five from the house have
recently been appointed to conduct an
inquiry into the feasibility of Govern
ment ownership of transportation
lines and telegraph and telrLhole
lines and the report of this committee
will be of much interest to chc5e
concerns.

gether with all accessories, therefore
there was not a chance to keep any
candidate away from Springer yes
terday and hardly any one else who
could get away from their business
upon one preteXt or another.
The next and last week of the cam
paign promises to be most strenu-
Gus as there are speaking dates billed
ahead and several picnics are alsso
advertised

IN THIS RACE
A VOLUNTARY EXPRESSION OF
GRATITUDE FROM A PEOPLE
WHO APPRECIATE TIRELESS
WORK or CHAS. D. CARTER.

No man need to be uneasy tha
the people will fail to reward honest
, efficient service They will not rur
, off after strange gods when a man has
, stood firm and fought their battles
Gratitude is one of the beautiful vir
tues of man, and ingrattude is de
spised by every human being. The
man who is retained in office can do
no better service. The south never
had strong men in the national con.
! gress until the voters learned that il
takes time to grow into statesmen.
/ The south has learned that Lessen
now, and the people of the third con
/ gressional district know they have all
to lose and nothing to gain oy failing
| to return their congressman.
Here is a note of appreciation and
note Of gratitude from the voters Of
Marshall county which was yoluntar-
lily written and signed and sent 10
Congressman Carter. It was prepared
by the men who signed it. There
was no political move behind it,
There was only gratitude for faithful,
efficient service back of it, and it is
these features that a man appreci-
ates when he is far from home in
political campaign in which his politi-
cal fortune is at stake. We congratu-
late the people of Marshall county
upon their loyalty to their able and
honest congressman, the Honorable
Chas. L, Carter.
The note mentioned above follows;
Durwood, Okla, July 13, 1916.
Hon Chas. d. Carter,
Congressman Third Con-
gressonal District.
Kind Sir:
We. the voters and citizens of Mar
shall county, Okla, are highly in favor
of the good things that are being done
in this part of The state, due to ef-
forts put forth by n>oe other than
yourself, and congratulations to you
for the same.
We want you to feel assured that
we as voters of this precinct will
make special endeavor to see your
interest is well cared for and do ev-
erything possible to make your re-
election sure.

A UNIQUE CLUB

The First ward women Of Ardmore
have club. the bylaws Of which
are indeed unique The club is called
the Wednesday Embroidery Club. II
meets with one of the members en-
every other Wednesday. 1t bears ,he
name of embroidery" which indicates
a certain amount of industry along
this line, but there is not much work
done at these meetings. They are
purely social The principle which
gives the club uniqueness is the pro
vision in its bylaws that at no meet
ii't shall any gossip or any scandal
be INDUCED in. The women live
strictly up to this bylaw. They do
not drag the names of any citizens
into an undesirable conversation, and
because they do not, women are leav-
ing other clubs and are taking mem
bership in the Wednesday Embroidery
Club.

According to the latest Stats

700 passengers killed in a year
on 207, 900 miles of railroad. In
the United States, for the fiscal
year 1915, there were only 1876
passengers killed on railroads
aggregating $50 900 miles. Our
immense reduction of accidents
may be seen in the fact that ten
years ago, with far less mileage
and only about half as many
passengers, our railroads killed
533. So great has been the i'm

PROPOSED LEGISLA-
TON FOR ARIZONA

Word comes from Phoenix that
the creation of legislative dis
tricts within counties, and a
provision that legislators shall
serve for four years instead of
two, are embodied in a proposed
constitutional amendment for
which initiative petitions are
being circulated here. The nom
partisan legislative league of
Douglas is behind the proposed
amendment.
The proposed amendment pro-
vides for the gradual enlarge
ment of the legislature from
nineteen senators and thirty-five
representatives as now consti-
tuted and provides that there
shall be chosen one senator to
5000 votes cast at the preceding
election. There is to be one
representative to each 1900
votes, but no county is to have
less than its present quota. The
county supervisors are to have
charge of the district within six
months of an election. Mesa

PREPARING FOR
PREPAREDNESS

ana house COIlIT0FccO dIIu CilO
ultimate passage by Congress
of their bill for the increase of
the Army and the National Guard
will not constitute immediate
preparedness against war by
any means, although a great
many people thoughtlessly as
sumo that it will do so.
1t is merely the taking of the
initial step toward preparing for
preparedness.
The bill agreed upon by the
confrerees increases the stand
ing army to 100000 in time of
peace, with authority given the
president to expand this force
to approximately 275,0O at his
discretion in the event of the
imminence of war.
The National Guard is to be
federalized and increased to
425, 900 officers and men. 1t
will remain under the immediate
control of the several states in
time of peace, with the excep-
ton that each officer and man
must sign an agreement to serve
the government whenever called
upon by the president. This
will give the president power to
order the National Guard out at
any time for service either with
in or without the borders of the
United States. 1t therefore dig
nifes the guard and makes it a
federal force instead of merely a
state militia. 1t will be armed
and equipped in precisely the
same manneras the regular army.
Majors and all officers above
that grade, according to the bill,
will receive $500 a year from the
government in time of peace.
Captains of companies will re-
ceive the same, while captains
of the staff corps and depart
ments and lieutenants receive
from $3.50 to $500 a year. accord
ing to grade. Privates receive
one dollar for each weekly at
tendance at drill, but not to eX-
ceed 48 weeks in a year. They
are also paid for camp duty
each year.
In all probability the govern
ment will have difficulty in re-
cruiting the regular army up to
required standard, but it is more
than probable that the National
Guard will be raised to the
425, 900 mark in short order.
Any country town of popu-
lation of 500 or more and with a
reasonable farming population
can recruit a company of the
finest kind of young men for
service in the guard. 1t would
be worth $48 a year and more to
any young man to join such a
company, as they receive one
dollar for each attendance at
drill, and are also paid for camp
duty. In addition to the fnan-
cial consideration, each man
would receive a fine military ed
ucation and training which would
be of incalculable value to him
in his future business career.
But, as we stated before, the
recruiting of this great force
will by no means constitute i'm
mediate preparedness against
war. It is only the beginning.
These companies, and regiments,
and brigades must be armed and
equipped and trained for a long
period of time before they will
be in shape to take the field in
the event of war. With drills
but once a week and their an
nual camp duty it will be several
years before this new force can
be actually depended upon for
immediate service in the face of
an enemy. Should they be called
out prior to that time. it would
