Two Methods of Publishing a
Newspaper.

THE ARDMORElTE wishes to intro.
duce to the reading public Of this city
and southern Oklahoma, two methods
Of publishing newspaper.
The edition of The OkIahoman which
appears on Ardmore streets each
morning. today prints what is purport-
ed to be an accurate and full report
Of President Wilson's address TO con.
gress. In bold.faced headline The Ok
Iahoman says that the address con-
tained among other things the recon-
mendatlon for:
100000 Volunteers on First Call and
Universal Service"
At 1888 o'clock last night The AS.
ISOLATED Press advised all its subscrlb.
ers to make this correction:
XIII last sentence bulletin, reading
He urged the raising Of 100000 men
and universal serVioe.'- Capable Of
miseonstruction."
At 9:34, only one minute after the
correction quoted, the following buIe-
tin was sent by The Associated Press:
"The president urged the oreanlza.
ton Of an army Of at least 100000 men,
chosen upon the principle Of universal
liability to service"
II Is true that on its face the casual
reader will note little important diff
ference in the language Of this clause.
However, the meat Of the matter is
that The oklahoman, apparently,
thinks anything is good enough for
south Oklahoma"
The hour mentioned is set out to
establish two things:
Either the 0klahoman put its south
ern Oklahoma edition on the press be-
fore 1888 o'clock last night and was
unable TO make the correction, or else
II has no respect for accuracy in ono
Of the most important public messages
the world has ever read.
THE ARDMORElTE last nioht ar.
ranged with The Associated Press to
keep its wire open while the presi.
dents message was being forwarded.
This was for the purpose Of securing
the accurate text Of Mr.. Wilson's ad.
dress in order that II might be placed
in type as rapidly as possible and still
be an accurate and full text Of the ad.
dress.
The public can draw its own con.
cIusions, but THE ARDMoREITE sub
mits that the okIahoman is guilty Of
one Of two things: Either anything is
good enough for south Oklahoma, or
else the oklahoman has no intention Of
maintaining a reputation for aecu-
racy.

UNITED STATES AT WAR.
Every Agency Of Government MovInq

S'S'J NSenOJ OF government moving
In Preparation for Clashes.
Washington, April 3.-The United
States really is at war with the Ger.
man empire today awaiting only for
the formal recognition Of congress.
Every agency was moving to grid
the nation against the government
which President Wilson, in his ad
dress to congress, characterized as a
natural foe to liberty.
The cabinet at war session was
called to discuss the extension of
credits to the nations already at war
against Germany, the raising OF mon.
ey by taxation for use by the United
states In the war; the equipment OF
the navy to the fullest state OF eff.
cheney to cope with the submarine
menace and the raising OF a great ar.
my ON the principle OF universal liza.
bllity to seryice-the first increment
OF which is to be 100000 men.
The Council OF National Defense
ana Its advisory committee. in a Joint
session, continued the work OF mobn.
ization OF the national resources TO
bring the government OF the German
empire to terms and end the war"
az the president expresses II.
The war department and the army
general staff was ready to present TO
congress It's plans for raising an army
Just as soon as the legislative body
asks for II.
work In congress on the resolution
to formally declare state OF war ex.
listing, went forward. The senate for.
eign relations committee approved the
resolution as introduced, without
change In It's effect.
The administration resolution de.
claring a state Of war exists with
Germany and directing the president
to prosecute war against the imperial
German government to a successful
termination was presented to the sen.
ate today.
Senator Hitchcock for the foreign
relations committee asked unanimous
consent for its immediate considera.
tlon. Senator LaFollette objected
and It went over under the rules for
one day.
Consideration OF the resolution nv
the house foreign affairs committee
was postponed until tomorrow.
