Opposition Of Sunday Shows Lays Plais

CHICKASHA IMMORAL
SAYS BAPTIST PASTOR
Speakers Say Johnson Sincere; Austin
Advises Factions Stand Together;
Rap City officials

Harmony, you might say "close
harmony" was the strong feature Of
the meeting held last night at the
Christian church, at which the oppo-
sition to the opening Of moving pic
ture shows on Sunday consummated
plans for their campaign today This
harmony went even further than the
meeting, as every speaker expressed
himself as believing that Ben F.
Johnson was sincere in his desire to
let the people decide the question at
the election" today,
There was no doubt about the SEN
timent OF this meeting It was
"agin'" Sunday picture shows, as
freely expressed by the speakers and
applauded by the audience, number
ing about fifty While expressing
themselves or the proposition, sun
dry Of the speakers referred to the
possible closing of the drug stores
Of the city, and took rap at the
city officials, declaring that places
worse than the picture shows were
running in Chickasha, this fact being
fully within the knowledge Of the
chief of police and the mayor.
The plan of campaign adopted was
to place workers on the streets in
favor Of a mo vote and to run a
string of automobiles to and from
the polls principally for the con
venience Of the women who would
otherwise not get out to cast their
ballot. Mrs. e. Tignor was placed
in charge OF the committee on auto
mobiles.

The Rev Albright of the First Bap-

Some comment and not a little dissatisfaction prevails locally on the matter of the old age pension. The law provides that the amount paid will not exceed $12.50 and the Board of Trustees only pay few the maximum in this section. No good reason is advanced why all do not get $1250. It is none too much and is we'll deserved. Those who receive $1250 month are Peter Brennan, J. A. Ross, Thos Hill, Mrs. Tiffany, J. B. Williams, Fred West, Frand Nash, William O'Brien. Those receiving ten dollars month are Jno Kerr, Manuel Botani, Louis Johnson, P. P: Lok- ker, Fred Seger, A. Ford, John Grosch, Ezray Canady, Miller E. Kerr, William Logan, Jos. Nery. There does not seem to be any good reason why all should not get the highest amount, but the matter is discretionary with the Board of Trustees. It is not impossible that some have more influence than others in this respect, if so the Board should explain why they make this distinction. If man is entitled to a pension, he is entitled to the limit as far as one can see in this matter. That is the general ly eXDressed opinion.

The most recent number of the Eskimo, published by the Bureau of Education locally is most en- tertaining journal. A really yaiu- able and instructive article by Dr. Neuman entitled the Lamp of the Stone Age is the leading cntribu- tion. Many a more ambitious peri odical would be glad to boast of such an instructive and erudite pa per. It is interesting to note that this is the first of a series which Dr Neuman will contribute on these subjects.
