rem s. Stone. grand chief of the Brother.
hod of Locomotive Engineers, was
quoted in a newspaper interview as
having said regarding the agitation for
the employees plan of government own
ership: We will go far enough to win.
and we are going to win He was
asked: What if the roads are turned
back to their owners?' eli replied: If
they should be. they wouldn't stay there
long, and it is not absolutely sure that
they will be turned back by next Jan
uary'
Three years ago the country was
given an example OF what Mr.. Stone and
his associates mean when they say We
will go far enough TO win Declining to
submit their basic eight-hour day de-
mand to arbitration in any form. the
Big Four Brotherhoods frightened
into passing the Adamson law
by issuing an order for a tie-up of all
the railroads of the United States and
to withdraw it until congress
passed the legislation that they wanted.

'The editor Just returned from trip to Ok
lahoma City and Ardmore yesterday which ac-
counts for a scarcity of editorial" confesses
Col. Jim Tom Storey in The Bokchito News
Why, bless your life, Col. Jim Tom, you should
have found material enough in Oklahoma City
and Ardmore for editorial matter that would
keep both your stenographers busy all night
Surely you don't mean that you found any
thing in this city or the state capital that sup
pressed your inspiration

HAMoN FOR "CoP" COMMITTEEMAN

II LSEWHE in this paper will be found an
IL interesting piece of news from Oklahoma
CITY, to the effect that Jake l.. Hamon of Ard
more is a full-fledged candidate for the re
publican national committeeman's job in OK
lahoma. The announcement is no surprise to
the public, inasmuch as Mr.. Hamon has been
credited generally throughout the state with
an ambition to become his party's state com
mitteeman. The Ardmore oil man enters the
fight with his guns prmed and his banners fly
ing and there can be no doubt that he is go
ing to make his opponents sit up and take no
tice that his hat is in the ring.
While The Ardmoreite, a democratic news
paper, has no disposition toward Quitting in
to" the business of the opposition party, 1t
nevertheless begs the privilege Of stating that
it is for Jake Hamon for "gop" committeeman.
If it 50 be that we happen to have any lnflu-
ence with the republican party in this common
wealth. we trust that such influence may be
useful to the local aspirant in securing for him
the post which he desires. We know Mr..
Hamon we'll enough to be aware that he will
make things lively for the democracy if he
gets to be republican chairman; and as we al
ways enjoy lively fight, we are hoping that
Hamon will be called into the ring and 'do his
durnedest'' until the last round. He will help
to put Ardmore in the political limelight and
give the good old town some valuable public
ity, even though he shall fail to put Oklahoma
in the "gop" column or to put over his first
choice General Wood, for the presidential
nomination.
Now the fight is on, in the republican
ranks in Oklahoma, and we are here to say
that the Hamon entry will add zest and eclat
thereto.

'W|NTER!! W|NTER!"
THEY CRIED. GIVE
US SOME W|NTER!"

A working life is a great lifepif you
don't weaken. Also it rs said that the
last hundred years of hard working
life are the hardest.
Tuesday afternoon three citizens Of
the fair and sunny state of California
arrived in Fort Worth and spent some
time waiting at the Texas & Pacific
Union station.
And-Ch. Gosh-these three. a happy
family. by the way, had found a serious
fault with that beautiful. balmy clime'
Sssh Tell that not to a native son.
These three. an old man. his better
half and their son. managed to drop
off train here. sad, weary. detected.
worn, tired and down, but not ont. They
were on their way to Ardmore, Okla
homa. a place where they said they
would get some relief from the ravag-
ing. cruel climate of the wonderful
Movie state. They had tasted of that
wonderful climate and bit off more than
they could chew.
"California?-never again.-no sir"
And they all three shook tehir heads
negatively with vigor that "usetowas."
We hada work too hard We worked
on a fruit ranch. and the climate was
so steady and wonderful that we had to
work every day from sun to sun-work
ed every day in the year! 1t never
rained. so we could get a day off TO
break the monotony and winter never
came so we could get rest. The min
ute one fruit crop matured the other
one had already sprouted and was ready
to be picked before we could even
sneak away from the bloomin' orchard!
We made lots of money and were paid
extra well-but all the merchants and
stores knew it and we never did get to
keep a cent, We're going back to Ok
lahoma--where 1t rains once in a while
and where they have winter every now
and then"
YEARLY they climbed on a train ana
started back where they hope hare
winter will let them recuperate.-Fort
Worth Record.

in finding with the evidence. The whole
selected as one of the peers of the
prisoner at the bar of justice. and if he
fails to do his duty as it should be
done. the efforts of the prosecution and
the courts have been in vain.
No man should be allowed to serve
on the juries in this county in the fu-
ture upon whom there is any question
of his giving the public a square deal.
He should have Il clean record, an idea
of right and justice, Il determination TO
help rid his country of crime and law
lessness, and when the evidence is in.
if it is Of u convincing nature. he should
do his duty to his God his country and
to his fellow man. If he will do this,
it will only be a matter of a few years
until McCurtain county will become one
of the safest and most respected coun-
ties in the state of Oklahoma.
You cannot hope TO stop crime by
turning the criminal loose. Its only
remedies are severe sentences and wide
publicity. II the newspapers and the
pulpit. together with the better class of
our citizens, would join in u campaign
against crime and lawlessness the mat
ter could be entirely stamped out. or
at least reduced to the minimum. One
great trouble in the past has been the
subsidized press in this county as we'll
as the pulpit. Crime is 4 disease. bred
through ignorance and environment. To
stamp it out is the duty of the press
and pulpit. and a newspaper that re-
fuses to fight for better citizenship
and a better government should be for
ever ostraci2ed from the homes of the
law abiding and better class of people.
Many men today are wearing the brand
of Cain. who might have escaped it had
the churches and the press done their
part with the proper pressure brought
to bear, the lawless class of people will
leave the country and become so scat
tered that in time even they will see
the error of their ways, and In different |
may become good citizens.
New people will come into the county. |
and with them a higher standard of
and in time the fact that hu- |
man life was once held so cheaply in
McCurtain county will have become an
cient history.

Why Europe, Smallest but One of
Six Continents, Is so Important

The coast line of Europe is remark
able for its length and its availability
South America is twice and Africs
three times as large. and yet, although
Europe is landlocked on its eastern
or Asatic side, it has longer coast
line than that of those two continents
combined. North America has double
the area of Europe. But, except fol
what stretches along the inhospitablt
Arctic the sea front of the two is near
~ the same.
Europe is intersected by numerous
vast, narrow half inland CULTS and seaa
which endlessly break its contour arid
multiply its length.
No other body Of water rivals the
Incompatible sea which forms the
southern boundary of Europe, the Med.
terranean.
The dwelers on the peninsular
shores of Greece and Asia Minor were
impelled by the circumstances Of their
lot to venture upon, gradually to un.
derstand and finally TO master ti,e
sea. And the sea gave back some
thing greater than mere material re.
turns.
Inevitably the old land kingdorn.
Egypt, Assyria, Persia, India. sub
merged the individual in the mass. AZ
inevitably. in the men who singly Or
in groups OF twos or threes wrestled
with and overcome the sea, the sens
of personal Independence was roused.
This was both achievement and revS.
lation. 1t was the impelling motiyo
at Marathon and in all the struggled
for freedom since down to the presellt

crafts and Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already have given notice
that they will strike unless demands
which they have presented TO the rail
road administration are favorably act
ed upon. and several serious strikes of
shop employees already have occurred.
Among the most ominous signs are
statements which are being made by the
labor leaders. w. G. Lee. president OF

SUPPRESSION OF CRIME
is UP TO THE JURYMAN
(From The Idabel News.)

The surest and only effective way Of
suppressing crime in this county is to
send few of the fellows who hold hui
man life so cheap to the electric chair
or the penitentiary for life AS long as
men are tried for the crime of murder
and can get out of 1t with the ease that
many of them have in the past in this
county and even adjoining counties, just
so long can you expect the practice to
be kept up.
The only solution of the problem is
in securing convictions and the only
way to get these convictions is through
the selection of jurymen who have the
courage of their convictions and who
will vote these convictions. No matter
how strong the evidence. or how ca
pable the plea for justice Of the prose
cution. all these go for naught II the
jury is not inclined TO return a verdict

There can be little doubt" President Will
son told congress last Friday afternoon, that
retailers are in part-sometimes in large part
responsible for eXorbitant prices" And the
president added that it is practicable to supply
the public, through established governmental
agencies and through publicity, with nforma-
ton on which it might judge what profits
should be. That is just what is going to be
done in Oklahoma, by the way if the county
attorneys carry out what they started at the
conference with the governor at about the
same hour the president was telling congress
