HOME GUARD USEFUL

IN VIEW of the fact that local units of the
national guard may be called to duty at the
coal mines, every American city, including
Ardmore, should have home guard company
The Ardmore Home Guards were disbanded
some weeks ago, the men keeping their arms
and equipment. The German war emergency
was over, and at the time the industrial war
emergency was not anticipated.
Now that in all probability the state troops
will be required in the emergency due tomor-
row, how about having the home guards get
together for a little preparedness?
While there is little likelihood that this
city, distant from mining. center, will eXper-
ience any violence incident to the coal strike
and the governments determination to operate
the mines and supply coal to the consumers,
or to see that the mines are operated and the
coal supplied, no city should be left without
military protection. One never can tell Just
where the red streak may flame forth.

FAMINE WAS
AVERTED BY RELEASE p
OF THE ARMY SUPPL Y

Washington ID. C.-In the contro.
versy over the living cost and particu.
larly the sugar shortage which the
country now is undergoing it has de.
vcloped that the country might have
been in actual sugar famine several
weeks ago but for the efforts vi the
war department which has released
more than $4,000 900 pounds Of sugar
70" sale to the public during the past
| few months. AS a result the army is
now existing on reserve Of less than
! two and one.half months supply and
every soldier from the chief Of staff
/ to the buck prvates Is having his
sugar supply r9tioned The normal
sugar reserve Of the army is at least
three months supply and usually near.
er sly months supply but the depart.
ment has cut this way below normal
10 meet the civil demands.
Anticipating a possible recurrence
this year Of a sugar shortage in the
| early fail at the end Of the preserving
! season, Secretary Of War Baker had
a special survey of the army made
early in the summer and determined
that about twenty-five thousand tons
of the army reserve could be released
in an emergency. This sugar was re-
leased through the United States sugar
equalization board as the demand for
il was felt, in several large lots, in
spite of the anXieties expressed by
many army officers. Had it not been
for these releases from the armys stock
to use it is declared the public would
I.t g l.
and the present shortage would have
been considerably more acute than it
actually is.
This development is regarded as i'm
portant here IN view of the recent at
tempts to lay on the shoulders of the
war department the blame for the pres
cnt high living cost. Through public
ity -cmanatiug from the partisan Con-
gressioual War Investigating commit
tee il has been charged that the sec
retary Of war and the selling force Of
the war department had deliberately
connived 20 boost the living cost.
From information coming from the
office of the director of army sales in
France and also from the Parker sell
ing commission in Paris it is evident
that any sales made to France were
made on purely commercial basis
with the purpose of driving the best
commercial bargain possible in getting
rid of surplus war material on the
other side that could not have been
practically brought back to this coun
try.
The sales department OF the army
has got rid to date Of approximately
billion dollars worth of surplus war
material that the army would never
have use for under peace time circum
stances. on these sales it has realized
a recovery of about 75 per cent OF the
original cost of the material estimat-
ed as an extremely high percentage of
recovery. The Hare commission, which
has also been the subject Of partisan
attack, went to France and has thus
far succeeded in making some excellent
arrangements for the sale of surplus
war materials for which there was no
market in industrally reviving Eu-
rope for materials chiefly of an in
dustrial character such as cotton lint

gonuity to SOW the seeds Of unrest
among the people Of the states
Every mistake and every wrong has
been so magnified and SO well adver
tised that the greatest success Of his
tory is now largely regarded as an un-
eXcmpIified failure. Congress has sue
ceeded in bringing the public to believe
tina. the administration failed ienomi.
niously But in humiliating the ad-
minisuation congress has almost en-.
dangercd the country. The government
itself is no longer respected 10y un-
counted thousands of those taught to
believe that the war agencies failed.
Back of an this unrest and lack of re-
spect for the government you will too
often find the poison slrewed by par.
tisan congress. one of the .cruelest
crimes of history has been perpetrated
by a congress that placed a party's
welfare above the good name Of the
republic.

4 @ The Editorial Page. Of The Daily Ardmoreite q
THE ATTEMPT TO LYNCH TILLRY

T>HE ARDMOREITE endorses most hearth
the splendid utterances contained in tn
following editorial from today's Oklahofnan
The Oklahoman's editorial writer handles tn
theme skillfully and covers the ground ade
quately. We wish most sincerely that this eX
preston of respect for law and order and of OF
position to the mob and the lynching spir
might be reproduced in every newspaper i
America. We feel sure that it would do a grea
deal Of good Says The Oklahoman:
The attempt Of a mob yesterday morn
ing to find and lynch c. l.. Tillry, negro,
alleged murderer of J. NJ. Williams, a
street car conductor, proves that even Ok
lahoma City has gang which would defy
law and order and bring disgace upon the
community.
The besegng of the Oklahoma county
jail by the mob would have been an out
rage even if it were known beyond doubt
that Tillry killed Mr.. Williams. 1t is all
the more reprehensible because of the fact
that Tillry's guilt has not yet been proven.
1t is understood that even eye-wthesses to
the killing of Mr.. Williams would not say
positively that Tillry is the murderer.
Lynching of guilty man is bad enough,
but there are no words sufficiently strong
to condemn the lynching of a man who
may be innocent. Tillry should be given
his day in court as the law provides and
as any member Of the mob would claim as
his own right. If the evidence proves that
Tilhy is guilty, the jury can be depended
upon to convict him and the Judge will inn
pose the proper sentence. If the evidence
.l.,,, tl,,.t :, 81
fair-minded man in the world who would
want him to suffer.
1t is unfortunate that none of the mob
were arrested. While no harm came to
Tillry, this was not due to any lack of Grim
nal intent on the part of the mob nor to
any lack Of a conspiracy by the members
Of the mob to defy the law 1t was due to
the fact that the sheriff had wisely moved
the negro to another city before the mob
besieged the jail
Any further attempt of this mob to
lynch Tillry should be dealt with as an eff
fort to temporarily overthrow the duly
constituted authorities and substitute a
reign of anarchy. The spirit that prompt
ed yesterday mornings mob is the spirit
that incites riots. Oklahoma City wants
no lynchings and no riots. All the forces
of the city, county and state governments
should be employed to run down the men
who are promoting organized defiance of
law in this community.
Let us requote the concluding sentence :
"All the forces of the city, county and
tate governments should be employed to run
own the men who are promoting organized
efiance of law in this community"
Now let us see if Oklahoma. Oklahoma City
nd Oklahoma county will act upon that sug-
estion. This is no time for quibbling, for
quivocaton, for supine evasion of official
uties.
Oklahoma expects every man to do his
uty.
