ECUADOR'S TWO HOLIDAYS

The Republic of Ecuador cele-
brates two national holidays, and
strange to say, both are "Independ-
ence Days" The small boy in the
United States, if he knew of it,
would no doubt envy his little Ecua-
dorean brother the possession OF
this double supply of Fourths Of
July, for both of these holiday oc-
casions are celebrated in that coun-
try with the same enthusiasm and
patriotic fervor that is displayed
here on the anniversary of the adop-
ton of Thomas Jefferson's immortal
Declaration.
The way this double-barreled in
dependence came about in Ecuador
is briefly as follows: The liberty
loving patriots had to shoot two
bolts at Spanish dominions before
they succeeded in gaining their per-
manent independence. The first
time, they had quiet but deter
mined revolution in Quito, the pre-
sent capital of the Republic, the
patriots assembling at the house OF
Manuela Canizares, a brave and
beautiful woman on August 9, 1909,
when they prepared their declaration
OF independence and chose the Of
ficials who were to compose the pro-
visional government. That night
the conspirators gathered their
forces in different parts of the city,
and Captain Salias, who cammand-
ed the two companies of regular
troops that guarded the city, went
to their barracks, read to them the
declaration, and won them over to
the cause of the patriots. They
overpowered the bodyguard of Ruiz
de Castillo, the Spanish governor,
early on the morning of August 10,
and thus established the first Repub-
lie without shedding drop of blood.
Ii lasted only about a year, when
Castillo succeeded in ovcrthrowing
the patriotic government and again
brought the country under Spanish
dominion.
Fires of liberty had been kind
led, however. and the Ecudoreans
kept up their heroic struggle not
withstanding many reverses until in
1920 the people of Cauyaquil. the
leading seaport of the country. sue

October. With the aid of General
Simon Bolivar, the great Venezue-

the Spanish forces and established |
Freedom in Ecuador forever. There

POOL ROOMS ARE
ORDERED CLOSED
CITY COMMISSION OBJECTS
TO DEFENSE COUNCILS
PERMISSION TO RUN.

When the Carter County Council
of Defense began the "clean-up''
work in Ardmore, one OF the first
institutions to fall under its ban
was the pool halls. 1t was claimed
these we're loafing places for class
of non-producers and when the or
der go to work, go to war, or so
to jail" was promulgated, the coun-
Gil apoealdl to the mayor and city
commissioners to close the pool
halls. An ordinance was at once en-
acted prohibiting these places from
operating except during the evening
hours.
Ordinance Still Effective
This ordinance is still in effect.
Last night at the regular meeting of
the city commission, City Attorney
A. B. Riddle announced that he was
a member of the execi.ive commit
tee of the Council of Defense, and
that he had been requested to in
form the council that the committee
felt that a hardship was being
worked on the keepers OF pool halls
and the members of the committee
believed the ordinance should be
suspended for a time until it could
be learned il the loafers had not been
pretty well cleaned out and il they
woud again congregate about the
pool halls. If the latter were allowed
to operate as beiere the passing OF
the ordinance.
Mayor Roberts, in answering City
Attorney Riddle, said he did not be-
lieve a city official should be a mon-
Der of the Council of Defense as
their interests might clash.
Commissioner Fraley said if the
Council of Defense had a communi-
cation to make TO the mayor and
commissioners, that it should be
sent in writing. Commissioner Car
ter also took his view.
Mayor Roberts said it would re-
quire an ordinance to repeal the
present ordinance. as there is no
>>sch thing - suspending an ordi-
nance. He had been informed the
pool halls were open, but insisted
that no person has the right to open
them. He told Police Commissioner
Gardner Il was his duty TO see II
this law Is being violated and il the
pool halls were open, to close them.
A large amount OF business.
mostly of a routine nature. was dis
posed OF by the commission last
night.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read showing the resigna1os
of Louis Bastian, assistant city book
keeper, to 60 to war, and that
