THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

4 very few citizens Of the city real.
ize the fact that Ardmore at the pres.
ent time has the nucleus Of one of the
finest bands IN the west, and to be
convinced Of this fact It is only neces.
sary for any musicaly inclined to
Journey to the county court house any
Tuesday or Friday night and listen
while director George ID. Barnard
puts the boys through their PAGES,
Quite crowd was on hand last
night during rehearsal, and when they
left they realized that Ardmore
through its Chamber of Commerce had
secured an asset when they were for.
tunate enough to engage Mr.. Barnard,
as he is musician without peer in
this country and has the faculty of
imparting his knowledge to others.
This was but the fifth rehearsal of
the band, yet they played standard
overatures as though they had been
oragnized for years, and those who
heard them were amazed at the ad.
vancement made in so short time.
Mr.. Barnard will soon be located in
his permanent home which is being
prepared for him and will be in posi-.
tioH to give individual attention TO
every member OF his band, he says
that he is going to have the best band
in the south west and any one know
ing George Garnard and familiar with
his reputation knows that he means
the best anywhere. As soon as pos
sible uniforms will be fitted to those
who sign as permanent fixtures in
the organization, and before next sum

MAYOR FAVORS
CHANCE IN THE
|TYCHARTER
BELIEVES THAT A BUSINESS
MANAGEMENT OF THE clTYS
AFFAIRS SHOULD BE MADE, AS
IN PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Since the agitation for a change of
the city charter has become so acute,
taxpayers are beginning to take more
interest in the matter. To determine
what the present administration
thinks of the matter, Mayor Lasher
was interviewed yesterday afternoon
and was most emphatic in his state
ment in favor of the idea. The mayor
gave his consent to be quoted and his
statement follows:
t"There seems to be very strong
sentiment among the more substantial
citizens OF the city in favor of the
adoption of a new charter for Ard
more, and in favor of that idea are
presented some very potent argu.
ments, some of which are as follows:
First, that with the salaries now
offered for public service, the city
buys brass and nerve instead Of
brains and service.
Second, that Ardmore is now too
large and too important and its inter
ests are too extended to think of long
er enduring charter government de-
signed for city of perhaps one-fourth
the size.
Third. that the demands of the city
are such that it requires men OF force
and quick action on the job all the
time because of the rapid changes
being made and the dispatch with
which the citys business must be
done This condition has been taken
on within the past year or two,
Fourth, it is said that government
designed for large municipality may
be made to suit a small city, but that
government formed and intended for
small municipality can never be
made to suit a large city.
"This is about the sentiment eX-
pressed by dozens, as we'll as It can
be boiled down into concrete form,
and in thinking over the situation a
few things come to mind, which |
wish you would say for me, first of
which is that the money being paid
out at present for the management OF
the city's affairs is sufficient to pay
for real service Actual figures would
look good on that, so here goes: Sal
aries paid at present; Mayor S125
four commissioners 800, clerk and
help 500, street foreman SS5, and per
haps some others, 70 make UP tota'

26, 1896. In January, 1898, he assum-
ed command Of the Asiatic squadron,
With which he won his victory at Man
lila. He destroyed eleven Spanish ships
and captured all the others and re-
duced the land batteries without los

upon receipt of the news Of the victory
congress passed a vote of thanks to
Dewey and promoted him to the rank
of rear admiral. In 1899 he was made
admiral of the navy, rank which an
appointee holds until death, without
retirement. Only two others, Farra-
gut and Porter, have held the rank.
Since March 20, 1900, Admiral Dewey
has been president of the general

charter should be adopted giving the
city three commissioners, one OF
whom should be the mayor, who
should get 5000 and the other two
commissioners $3.50 each, making a
total of $500 per month. Those three
men would be on the job all the time
and the commissioner of finance could
be clerk of the board while the com.
missioner of safety could direct the

n GORGE DEWEY, admiral of the
navy, won his place in history
- and in the gratitude of his fellow
Americans by his victory over the
Spanish at Manila May l, 1898, al
though the battle was only a small
affair compared with other historic
naval actions. However, its conse-
Quences were altogether disproportion-
ate to It's magnitude, since it ended
the century long Spanish rule in the
Pacific and won the Philippine Islands
for the American flag. At that time
Dewey held the rank of commodore
won by long and honorable service in
the navy. It included much fighting
in the civil war; with Farragut at
New Orleans and Port Hudson and
elsewhere. Dewey was officer of the
bridge on the Mississippi as she
steamed past the New Orleans forts
and was conspicuously gallant fig
