DEPOT
To De MODERN
STRUCTURE
PLANS HAVE BEEN PRACTICALLY
AGREED UPON AND BUILDING
WILL BE ERECTED DURING
PRESENT YEAR

That Ardmore will have 4 com
modious new union depot within The
next few months is now practically a
certainty. The plans have been
drawn and have been under discus
sion between the Santa Fe and Rock
Island companies for agreement.
They have practically been agreed to,
and unless unforeseen contingencies
arise, work will begin within a short
time.
The Santa Fe, in addition to the
Union station, will also erect a freight
house of concrete and brick on the
site of the one destroyed by the ex-
plosion of September 81 last. This
will be 3OOx32 feet and will be mod
ern in every particular.
The site of the new union station
will be somewhat north of where the
cid station stood, and the platforms
will extend from Broadway to Nam
street. The express office will be
rorth of the station, as t was un3"r
the old arrangement. Santa Fe of
tic;als mere say they cannot tell Just
when work will begin on the depot,
but give assurance that when it is
finished it will be a structure of
which the city can be proud. The
local agent stated that he was not
prepared to discuss the plans at pres
ent. as there might be some minor
changes made before work is begun
on the building.

Of
9-HOUR Law
|SREPORTED
ASSISTANT STATE LABOR CON-
MISSIONER WAS IN THE CITY
YESTERDAY INVESTIGATING Lo-
CAL CONDITIONS.

Mike Williams, assistant state labor
commissioner, was in the city yester-
day investigating conditions with re-
gard to the nine-hour law as applied
to female employees. Mr.. Williams was
sent here upon complaint of some
one who averred that the law was
being violated and asserted that he
found in some instances that it had
been-unintentionally perhaps, but vio-
lated nevertheless. A warning was
given to discontinue this practice and
to observe the letter of the law in the
future, or prosecution would follow.
Mr. Williams while here was in con
ference with several ladies of local
labor unions and getting their views
on local conditions and how the laws
governing labor were being enforced.
Mr. Williams refused to state where
he found the practice of working wo-
men over the prescribed hours, but
stated that he had no fear but what
in the future the law would be OBJ
served in every particular.

The note says Washington failed 10
substantiate the charges of indiscrlm-
mate submarine usage by not giving
concrete facts and points out that er-
rors are likely to occur and did ac-
tually occur in some instances in Ger
man warfare and asserts that there
are unavoidable dangers when neutrals
enter the war zone, recalling the fact
that Germany frequently pointed out
these dangers. The United States un-
fortunately failed to accept the Ger
man proposals to keep travellers out
of the danger zone.
The note says that disregard OF the
principles of international law by
England forced Germany to use the
submarine. Germany fails to under
stand" what it styles the "discrimina-
tion" of the United States against Ger
many and in behalf of England, who
is not conducting warfare along inter
national lines. The note says Ger
many regrets that the sentiments OF
humanity which the United States ex-
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-05-05

presses with such fervor to the un-
happy victims of submarine warfare
are not extended with the same
warmth of feeling to the many mil
lions of women and children who ac-
cording to the avowed intentions of
England shall be starved, and who by
their suffering shall force the victori-
Gus armies of the central powers into
ignominious capitulation."
"The German people know" it says,
that the United States has power to
confine the war to the armed forces of
the belligerent countries in the inter
est of humanity and maintenance of
international law, and the United
States could make certain this end by
taking a determined stand against Eng
land on the uncontrovertible rights to
freedom of the seas"
The note says that the German peo-
pie know to what considerable extent
the entente allies are supplied with
all kinds of war materials from the
United States. In view of these con-
ditions, it must be understood that the
German people cannot meet with
hearty response the American ap-
peal for humanity. Germany, howev-
er is willing to go to extreme limits
in making concessions, guided not
alone by friendship but also by the
great doom which threatens the civ
ilized world should the war be pro
longed."

scious of her strength, has signified

AS THEY MARCHED IN SINGING
"AT THE CROSS" - EVANGEL-

III.

A very large audience greeted the
minister last night. 1t was Wood
men night, and the Woodmen, the
Woodmen Circle, and the Woodmen's
girls were in line, hundreds strong.
1t was revelation of many to see
so many members of the order. Led
by Mr.. Poulter, they sang "At. the
Cross" with a will
Tonight is High school night

DR.. Williams preached from the
text, "If any man will do his will
he shall know of the doctrine wheth-
er it be of God or whether | speak
of myself" John III.
This was Jesus answer to the
doubters and skeptics. II you want
to prove a principle, follow it out.
Enforce a law, and if bad law IT
will soon be changed. 1t does not
take much brains to find fault, but to
live the teachings of Christ requires
sense and character. Many people
are sensible about business, and fool
ish about religion.
"The hypocrites In the church are
the excuses given by many for re-
naming in sin. These people know
one hypocrite and imagine all the
church to be of such. Some one has
heard of an apparent inconsistency
in the bible, and they imagine the
entire book composed of inconsist-
encies The trouble is not with the
great book, but with our method OF
approaching it. If you want to live
good life, God will help you to
do it. Follow the bible and light
will come as you need it. Gods
promises are sure and have never
failed. You need not stumble over
the hypocrites in the church. They
are really not as numerous as you
think. 4 hypocrite is a counterfeit
of a genuine Christian. Why not
be the genuine, and so live that your
eternity will not be spent with the
hypocrite? There are but two class
es,-the regenerate and the unregen-
crate. The one who says he does rot
like Christianity really is bad at
heart. If we obey we shall know
the truth of the bible and the prom
ises of God.

REGISTERING
VERY SLOWLY
REPUBLICANS AND SOCIALISTS
ARE ALL GETTING ON THE
ROLLS WHILE THE DOMINANT
PARTY SEEMS INDIFFERENT.

The democrats of this city and
county are rather slow in getting re-
gistered according to reports Of regis
ters, and unless they whip up" the
chances are that many will be denied
the ballot at the primary and general
election this fall.
More democrats are complaining of
the difficulty of locating the register
in every precinct than others of the
two opposing parties, and they are yet
wondering if a certain designated place
will be set out by the county register
where they can go at certain time
and have their names enrolled. If
this is not done, prominent democrats
over the city and county say that
there will be many disfranchised.
There is another theory advanced
by a prominent democrat and politi-
clan this morning that might be worth
watching. He says that old line demo-
Gratis who have been voting since
statehood will probably insist on vot-
ing in the coming elections whether
they are registered or not. This will
lead to contests if they are permitted
to do so. Therefore he advocates that
the registers make a special effort to
get every voter in the precincts to
register during the time allotted.

MASS MEETING
ATTENDED BY
LARGE CROWD
CITIZENS MEET WITH CITY OF
FIClALS TO DISCUSS WHITE
WAY AND THE NEW SANITARY
ORDINANCE.

The advertised meeting TO discuss
the white way and the new health
ordinance brought out between forty
and fifty people to the assembly
yesterday evening The absence Of
anything but negligible number
of business men prompted acting
Mayor Lasher, who presided, to leave
the discussion of the white way to
a future meeting to be arranged by
Walter s. Gilbert, secretary of the
Business Mems association. Mr. Gil
bert informed the mayor that he
would bring the matter up at the
meeting of the business men on Mon
day night, and the mayor and COM
missioners will be present at the
meeting.
Mayor Lasher then went into the
sanitary ordinance and made a clear
cut statement that the commission
ers wanted to know just what the
people wanted He called attention
to the fact that Ardmore was no
longer little town, but a city ana
that it must have laws for the pro
lection of the health of the com
munity. He expressed the belief
tha. every citizen would agree with
him and asked that the meeting be
in the nature of a conference with
| that end in view, and not one ol
knocks and kicks at the admin
| istration.
No Service, No Pay
The speech had its effect if any
present had come to criticize, and
/ in the rational discussion which for
| lowed it soon developed that the
only mistake that had been made had
been the attempt to collect for ser
vice which had not been rendered
All commissioners, however, assured
those present that no fee would be
collected except where the service
had been rendered, and that in en-
forcing the ordinance they would not
force the service of the city wagons
on any individual. but that they
would compel every citizen to keep
their premises clean and sanitary.
Some complaint of the scale OF
charge was made, but it was prom
ised and pointed out that the orii'
nance provided for adjustments to
be made. 1t was also pointed out
that the first cleanup would oe the
heaviest, and that 175 wagon loads
of refuse and garbage had already
been taken out of the business sec
tion.
