q The Editorial Page Of The Daily Ardmoreite O
a TREAT FOR ARDMORE

DERSONS who have heard Dr. Bunis Jenkins
of Kansas City on the lecture platform aver
that his appearance at Convention Hall next
Thursday evening means a treat for Ardmore.
The distinguished Kansas City editor, author
and publcst has accepted an invitation to
deliver an address here in advocacy of the
peace treaty and the League Of Nations. He is
one of those men who think before they speak,
look before they leap, and when sure they are
right are not afraid to go straight ahead to the
goal set up by their intelligence and their iudg-
ment
The coming of DR.. jenkins to speak on this
subject will be timely. Since the senate began
so prematurely, its debate upon the League OF
Nations, we have not enjoyed the privilege Of
hearing a public address in this city by stu
dent of world affairs who stands for the pro-
gressive ideal in human progress. Before that
apparently nterminable debate or assault be-
gan, Ardmorc was honored by the visits Of eX-
President Taft, the greatest living member Of
the republican party, and C. B. Ames Of Okla
homa City, now an assistant Encouragement
of the United States, a leading democrat. Both
of these gentlemen spoke at Convention Hall in
explanation and defense of the covenant Of the
eLeague Of Nations. They were heard by large
audiences.
Since the appearance of Judge Ames and
Mr.. Taft the league has been assaed 10y a
group of Little Americans, men who live
chiefly in the past and whose minds kowtow to
traditions dating from the era before the age
Of steam; and by another group Of men who
put petty partisan considerations above the
wider vision of the nations good.
The senate appears finally to be approach
ing close to showdown on this most vital Of
all the issues which under the constitution call
for its decision. 1t is to be hoped and believed
therefore, that the immediate interest of the
problem will attract a large audience Of men
and women to hear DR.. jenkins present, in his
broad-minded dignified, statesmanike man
ner, the reasons why he believes the senate
should and will ratify the treaty with its league
Of nations covenant as a necessary part with
out amendment or destructive reservation.

WHERE WOMEN HAVE Us FADED

Dick Graves in Tulsa DemocraU
When it comes to orderliness the
women have the advantage of us. Any
reasonable man in his right mind who
has good sense will admit as much, espe-
cially when the subject is being discuss
ed in the presence of women themselves.
He will admit much more, of course,
to be polite. and thereby become liar,
but in admitting that women have u
greater sense of orderliness than men
he can remain within the bounds of
truthfulness.
In another city a man who went into
the post office building and having
nothing else to do stood awhile and OBJ
served the women who went there to
deposit letters in the mail. Twenty-Five
out the thirty women who put letters in
the slot started to deposit them, then
drew them back and glanced once more
at the superscription. He took it that
they wanted to be sure the letters were
properly addressed and stamped.
It is so in other affairs-that women
are more careful, more painstaking ana
more orderly than men. 1t is shown in
the home. In fact home would not be
much of an institution if the house had
to be kept by the husband. In further
fact it would soon be in a condition not
fit for human habitation. Women have
that instinct and they practice it not
only in the home, but in business and
in office work as well.
When he works alone the average
man is unable to conduct one.horse
business without a card index. Unless
he does so he must spend at least half
his time looking through his office eff
fects for papers and documents. At
home this same mans wife can put her
hand on shundred pots kettles, dishes,
tablewarAand the like without ever hav-
ing to stop and think about it.
So the conclusion is reached that
woman is easily the superior of man
in this particular ut least. The reason
is that her mind is on the one thing
she is doing at the time. Men let their
minds wander and the result is chaos
or something closely resembling that
deplorable state of affairs.

PENROSE breaches DUTY

TN HIS LATEST preachment on the duties Of
I congress, Senator Penrose coroborates in a
surprising way the contentious of democratic
leaders-including President Wilson.
Taxes ought to be largely reduced as soon
as possible says Senator Penrose Glow far
they can be reduced depends on whether the
congress can get out Of the waseful habit of
improvident expenditures
Is it likely that the republican boss" had in
mind, when he uttered this truth, the numerous
republican Investigating" committees which
have been roaming about the United States and
Europe to gather campaign material while
they squandered time and frittered away the
publics money?
Reduction Of expenditures must precede
decrease in taxes. So long as the republican
investigators" continue to spend, the people
must continue to pay.
"On tax questions" Senator Penrose de-
clares, in this same statement, "the republicans
could not command united majority although
nomnally they have a majority of two in the
senate
1t there any question-eXcept that of en-
bamassng President Wilson-upon which the
republicans can muster a majority? They have
lacked thus far even practical unanimity as to
any proposition submitted to them either by
President Wilson or by their own leaders. Even
Mr.. Penrose has failed to bring harmony be-
tween the senate and the house, or between the
individual republicans Of either body.

The president of Liberia is coming
over to see US.
Ever heard of Liberia? Yes, sounds
like the centre of Africa, somewhere.
But that is about all that most Of us
know of Liberia.

years old or thereabouts, organized by
the United States ana set ON its feet.
In fact, we have been a sort of man

The idea was to form a nation to

We shall be interested in seeing the

All of which may throw some light
on the yexed question of mandatories.
America has been in the mandatory

or more. Is she so afraid, now that
it might be desirable for her to eXer-

is?
Does the timorous creature who calls
himself a thorough.gOing American, and

actually believe. down in his heart OF
hearts, that there are not enough red
blooded, young Americans to volun
teer for any mandatory that it might
be wise for us to undertake?
If so, he has got another think
coming.
One-hundred. percent Americans are
not afraid of responsibilities.
We are not anxious for mandatory
responsibility. Neither We're we anx
ious for the European war.
But, when the task comes our way
we are not given tC flinching.
And, if a mandatory in the ends
of the earth should become a part OF
our duty it might prove very
wholesome thing in developing ano
educating young American manhood.

GORE GOES TO REPUBLICANS

have been made.
A 6-team league, composed of mem

new YORK BETS AGAINST REDS;

New York betting men are making
the Chicago White Sox favorites over
the Cincinnati Reds to win the worlds

to 5. with very little speculation at
local sporting resorts.
Backers of the White Sox naturally
are influenced somewhat by the fact
that the American league has tri-
umphed annually since 1909, excepting
the Braves victory five years ago;
also because they believe Manager

And who is this bird, Duncan?
Well, he was playing the outfield
for Birmingham in the Southern

that about all Birmingham had was
Duncan and some other uniforms, they
did not do much, and Duncans work
was hid under a bushel.
But the records show that he hit

fielding was as consistent as his hit
