THE PEOPLE NOT PARTISAN

HE PEOPLES WISH to understand the rea-
L sons which impel the United States to rati-
fly the treaty as a means of terminating the war
with Germany, and to enter the League of Ma
tons as a guarantee against further internation-
al conflicts, is the most conspicuous feature of
the presidents tour. The senatorial opponents
Of the league and the treaty have continued
their obstruction not because they have failed
to understand, but because they refuse to sub
ordinate personal and political bias in the in
terest of the country.
In all great issues in the history of the
United States, the people have shown willing
ness to make their decisions upon the facts and
according to their conscientious judgment In
the last anal ysiS there is little partisanshp
among the masses, They may at times be moved
by sentiment in their choice of candidates.
personality may attract or repel them-but in
every matter of policy they have uniformly
judged and acted solely upon what they con-
sidered its merits.
The question of ratifying the treaty and of
approving the covenant of the league is not in
any sense partisan. The president is making
that abundantly clear. No republican need de-
sert his party to favor the league. He may act
as an American in this crisis without ceasing
to be a republican. When that truth is i'm
pressed on his hearers and readers by the presi-
dent the opponents of the league will appeal in
vain to the partisanship Of their fellow repub-
licans among the people. And it is evident from
their desire to understandable learn the facts
that the people will accept the presidents view
and give him their support

over the phraseology of the League OF

The Woman Voter
Again abruptly tossing Il new topic
upon the topic, Mr. Van Zie queried:
'Will the assertion that the present
administration has lacked efficiency
drive the majority of American women
casting millions of votes in 1920. into
the outstretched arms Of the republi.
cans?"
The chairman smiled dryly as he re.
piled:
THE form of your question makes
the reply simple | do not believe that
any mere assertion will be influential
with the majority of the women voters
OF America. 1t is quite true that they
like efficiency, but the democratic ad.
ministration has been efficient IT is
also true that the women of America
are Interested in moral issues and upon
these issues the democratic party is

DEMOCRATIC AID FOR ROADS

1T WAS DEMOCRATIC legislation that
brought to fulfllment the national demand
for good roads The success of that legislation
in realizing the wishes of the country is exem-
pliied by statistics covering the period from
1913, the beginning of President Wilson's first
term, to September |, 1919. In the six years
there were constructed more than $4,000 miles
of almost perfect highways.
But for the assistance given by the federal
government, the several states would have been
unable or unwilling to bear the whole cost of
these improvements. But for democratic laws
no federal aid would have been forthcoming.
The government is now matching with funds
from the federal treasuy every dollar that any
of the States devotes to the building Of its roads
In addition to the millions that have been voted
for this purpose by democratic congresses it is
proposed to appropriate 100000, 900 to con-
tinue the work after 1921. Senator Sheppard,
democrat, is the author of this proposal.
The whole trend and tenor of republican
legislation in the past has been in favor of
special private interests which wanted immun-
tiles and subsidies and privileges at the expense
of the masses. There is no better illustration
of the spirit and purpose of democratic law
making than that manifested in this roads legis-
latiOn which brought benefits to every section
and class of the country.

JOSEPH B. THOMPSON

HE SUDDEN PASSING of Congressman
L Joseph B. Thompson of the Fifth Oklaho-
ma district is news that will be a shock to many
readers of The Ardmoreite. For short time
in his early manhood Mr.. Thompson was res
ident of Ardmore. He was reared not far from
this city and, though native of Texas, may be
called an Oklahoma product. He grew up with
Oklahoma in its early days in the old terri
torial period, and his life was interviewer with
the life of this new state. He was identified
with the creation of the state and for about
eight years represented his district at Washing
ton.
Congressman Thompson leaves host of
friends. His influence extended far beyond his
own congressional district. He was not con-
gresham Of the pyrotechnic sort, but he did
good hard honest work for his constituents and
his state and his country. Thousands for whom
in the line of his duty as member of congress
he has done favors will testify to his industry
and his kndliness of heart. His record in con-
gress is excellent, and his old neighbors will be
real mourners at his bier.

THE liabilities, If you wish me to
use that term, consist chiefly Of the
minor mistakes of individual public
officials during a period OF great
strain, when the nation was engaged
in the greatest enterprise upon which
any nation ever embarked. From a
party standpoint, these liabilities are
negligible"
Republican Balance Sheet
Mr. Cummings then opened his
creeping barrage against the republi.
can intrenchmentS as follows:
THE republicans have the advan-
tage of unlimited financial resources
and of a large opportunity for politi-
cal propaganda. Three out Of every
four Of the great dailies of America
are friendly to the republican party
and two out of every three of the
weeklies are friendly to the republi-
can party. This is a great handicap
to the democratic party and CORE
spending advantage to the republican
party.
The republican party also has the ad.
vantage which grows out of the regula-
tions that were put in force during the
period of the war and which irritated a
great many people. The republican
leaders recognized this fact and have de-
liberately sought to exaggerate the i'm
portance of these sources of irritation.
They have made considerable progress
T.. IL.
they have deliberately sought to mobil-
ize the forces of discomfort. They are
playing up to group interests and ra.
cial animosities. This part Of their pro.
gram Is entirely inexcusable. 1t is un.

our country. This asset, If II may be

Tt Is one Of the funny incidents of
fashion that there should have been
in this extraordinary mild winter more
fur coats on the street than ever were
seen before. Outside of Russia or
Greenland, women were never so uni
formly attired in furs as during last
winter-and yet, unless one were driv-
ing, there has not been single day
when n fur coat was needed, and dur
ing more than half Of the time these
garments must have made their wear
ers very uncomfortable. Well there
is no accounting for the fashions. The
rationale of a fur coat, of course is
to wear it when it is cold enough to
do so, and lay it off for some less bur-
densome garment in ordinary weather.
But when The girls put on their fur
coats in the early winter they put them
on to wear every single day, be 1t cold
or warm. The consciousness that it is
no doubt makes any gar
Inent comfortable.-Gm
