STUDY THE CONSTITUTION

II OW MANY of our readers ever have read
the constitution of the United States?
Hands upl Between now and the 18th day Of
this month, which is the anniversary of the birth
of the constitution you should find time to read
that great document if you are not familiar al
ready with it, The constitution makes mighty
interesting reading. 1t really is not dull,
heavy, stodgy thing, but is a clear, straightfor-
ward, understandable setting forth of the foun-
dations Of the American system of government.
There is to be nationwide celebration Of
the birthday of the constitution. The organiza-
ton committee is headed by DR.. David Jayne
Hill, the educator who wrote the rhetoric book
which many of us studied in our schoodays, and
who later represented this country as ambassa-
dor to Germany. On the roll of the committee
are the names of hundreds of men in various
walks of life who have made good as citizens,
The purpose of the committee is to induce read
ing and understanding of the constitution
throughout the country, to the end that the
American people may know just what sort of
government they are living under and may
learn to love and revere the constitution and
the laws.
Read what Abraham Lincoln said about
every day at the head of The Ardmoreite edi-
toral page and will continue to be run there 50
long as the present editorial management con-
tinues. The constitution is the basic law of the
land. Upon it all our statutory laws, both fed
eral and state, are predicated. No community
can pass laws which violate the federal cOnsti-
tuition. The constitution is wonderful crea-
tion. 1t required several years to build it and
adopt it as it stood originally, and every now
and then we still find it necessary to amend it in
order to meet new conditions.
Carter county and Ardmore are based upon
the constitution of the United States. But for
that constitution this community could not have
been created as component part of the great
republic. The constitution is document of
intimate interest to every citizen who reads The
Ardmoreite. Every citizen ought to know
what the constitution says. Let US all get busy
now, in the next week, and learn what the con-
stitution really iS-what it says what it means,
what it stands for-so that we can take part in
teligently in the local celebration of its birth
day.

TURNS DOWN FANCY SALARY
AND REENLISTS IN NAVY

o. X. p. Carson of Berwyn, Okla, re.
fused $lS a day job today and re-
enlisted in the navy.
Carson, when asked why he refused
such job at fancy salary to re-
enlist, replied that the job was in the
oil field and that the employment might
not be steady; that living was so high
that he found he could give his wife
more money from his salary in the navy
than he could while working at the
luxurious oil field job
Mr.. Carson has lived all his life in
Oklahoma and was discharged from the
navy in July, this year, as commissary
steward, which rank he attained after
very short service.
When asked What will your wife
say?' he answered, why. my wife
wants me to come back. She likes the
coast much better. She has always
wanted me to come back"
Carson was given his preference Of
either coast, ship or station, with foul
months pay and 80 days leave.

OThe Editorial Page of The Daily Ardmoreite q
BUILD HOUSES FOR RENT

v ESTERDAY a certain small house for rent
L was advertised in The ArdmOreite. An
hour or so after the paper came out, the adVer-
tiser made an almost frantic request that the
little "ad" be eliminated from the paper today.
1--WE are almost frantic at our house, said the
gentle voice over the telephone. cat least thirty
persons have called up asking about that house
for rent and they are still calling. We rented
it to the first satisfactory applicant. Please don't
run that advertisement another day. or we shall
go mad!"
Shortly before this incident another lady
called up the editor and stated that something
should be done at once to supply rent houses
to families that want to live in ArdmOre, but
can't because they are unable to find housing
accommodations. eve have small house next
door" she said, Give rooms and bath, $35 a
month, which was rented to an eager applicant
before the old tenant moved out. The house
was not even advertised and yet | am almost
unable to attend to my household duties because
Of the telephone calls and the personal visits of
persons who want to rent that house-already
rented At least twenty-five applicants have
called. Now, if houses are in such demand
here, and if we can get such good rental rates
for small houses, why don't the moneyed
people of Ardmore build houses for rent? Sey-
eral Of the men who wanted to rent the house
mentioned said that they could find plenty Of
houses for sale, at about $500 down. but none
for rent. Some of them said they had to live
at Wilson or some other small town in the
county because they could not rent houses in
Ardmore, where they preferred to live"
The proposition is put up to Ardmore. If
this city is going to justify the Chamber Of
Commerce slogan, "Ardmore, $4,000 in 1921 ~
houses for rent must be built. That extra popu-
lation is not coming to Ardmore unless it can
find houses in which to live. People can't be eX-
pected to sleep and eat in Central Park or ON
vacant lots nor to live in tents. Ardmore needs
houses-small modern houses-to be rented to
desirable citizens already here and others who
will come if they can get house accommoda-
tiOns.

Britain for that purpose. But un-
less they are prepared to advocate
such a war, this objection to the
covenant is not only without force
as an argument, but even without
relevance. 1t might be said, addi.
tionally, that to reject the cove
nant for that reason would be
equivalent to serving notice on
Great Britain that we intend TO
make war on it to free Ireland.
The case OF Ireland is in some re-
spects like that of China. Just as
the rejection Of the treaty and the
covenant would not assure the re-
turn of Shantung to China. nor
even increase the likelihood of il,
neither would it assure the inde-
pendence of Ireland nor increase
the likelihood of it. On the con-
trary, there is reason to think that

Wilson is upon solid ground when
he argues that the case of China
and that of Ireland, instead of pre-

should be rejected, present cogent
reasons why il should be accepted.
For the covenant gives the League
Of Nations moral jurisdiction OF
both, and creates a tribunal before

other Nation may advocate the

A BOOM ERANG
ARGUMENT
(From Dallas News)

The objection urged against the
covenant Of the League Of Nations
by those gentlemen who appeared
before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee as representa-
tives OF the American Society for
the Independence of Ireland was
that the United States by joining
the league, would be precluded
from going to the armed aid of
Ireland in the event it should go
to war with Great Britain to win
its independence. 1t was argued,
and particularly by Mr.. Bourke
Cochran. that we should be estop.
ped from doing for Ireland what
France had done for US, and what
we ourselves had done for Cuba.
All this, of course, Is true. But
what are the implications Of that
argument? One must be that there
is such probability OF our go
ing to war with Great Britain in
behalf Of Ireland that both we
and Ireland would suffer a grieV-
Gus deprivation by entering into
the bond Of the covenant to keep
the peace. And yet If any one
should declare that there is even a
possibility Of our going TO war
with Great Britain In behalf Of Ire
land, he would be laughed al. We
venture TO say that not even the
gentlemen who urged that objec-
ton would advocate war on Great
