OFFICER OUSTED BY
POLICE CHIEF FILES
APPEAL TO COUN Gil

The meeting of the board of city
commissioners Friday night developed
the fact that there may be bit of dis
cord in the police department and things
are not running as smoothly as ap'
pearances warrant.
The particular fly in the ointment
seems to be Patroman j. C. Johnson,
whom the police chief seeks to remove.
Johnson, however, is inclined to object
to being ousted and has appealed his
case to the commissioners for adjudica
ton.
Chief Chancellor stated at the com
missoners' meeting Friday evening
that he desired the removal of Officer
johnson and that he had another man to
put in his place. When asked to name
this man, he said he was Sam Hargis;
at present working on the force.
The chief filed no specific charges
against Johnson, and for that reason
johnson says he is going to stay on the
job or know why.
The ordinances covering such cases
were read and it was finally decided to
lay the matter on the table until some
future meeting, in the meantime John
son is on duty as usual.
Some of the commissioners raised the
question of Hargis being entitled under
the law to serve as he has not been in
Ardmore long enough to be a legally
qualified voter, Notwithstanding the

Bryan, as secretary of state. had mov-
ed in the same direction with his nego-
tiation of arbitration treaties, Mr..
Lane continued, adding:
Let us be frank We of America
did not take these efforts of Mr.. Bryan
with any degree of seriousness. We
thought him a nobleminded visionary.
Yet his plan is incorporated as the
first step of the pyramid of the pres
ent proposed league"
1t was not until the war came that
any but tentative steps could be taken
toward the formation of a peace
league. Mr.. Lane said, and if the presi-
dent had not made the effort to secure
it I'VE would have said he was a
gutter"
Secretary Lane said, he had been
unable TO find in the covenant any
surrender of American rights more than
every existing rule of international
law involved. 1t was. he said, essen
TALLY a gentleman's agreement" based
on the assumption that each party to

principles for which the league stands.

Democracy after all is but a count
ing of noses" Mr.. Lane said. "and we
may presume much for the policy
which the chosen leaders of the two
hundred and fifty million of the most
civilized of the worlds people have
endorsed"
Mr.. Lane said he believed everyone
would have preferred that the league
should have been born in a different
way, at a different time" When Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned from his trip
to Africa. he added. the former presi-
dent made the strongest appeal any
national leader had then voiced for
such league"
Then was the day for its creation"
Secretary Lane continued. but the
world did not see the danger it was
in"

Root committed themselves to the

WE ARE MISOUOTED

THE OTHER DAY the esteemed Tulsa
Il World, under the caption What Is Par
tisanship?" began a long and lively editorial
with this paragraph:
"The esteemed Ardmoreite assails the re
publicans of Tulsa for adopting resolutions
against the League of Nations, thus making
this a partisan issue In the opinion of The
Ardmoreite the issue is bigger than the demo
cratic party, than the republican party, it is an
American ISSUE"
Now, as a mere matter of fact, The Ard
moreite didn't say anything of the sort, either
in language or in implication. Exactly what
The Ardmoreite did say was that the league
proposition sis so much bigger than any po-
itical party that compared with it both the
elephant and the donkey, with the donkey rid
ing atop the elephant, look like a pair of Ozark
chiggers beside mastodon of prehistoric
days" That, we submit, is something differ
ent from saying that "the issue is bigger than
the democratic party than the republican par
ty, it is an American issue"
The esteemed World has mistaken alto
gether our conception of the League of Ma
tons if it got the impression that we said or
meant to say that it is an American issue. Our
notion is that it is much more than an Amer
ican issue-that it is world issue. Let us think
in continents, not in counties, in centuries, not
in summers. Let us seek to overcome the habit
of trying to localize an ideal of justice. In our
horizon we observe principles broader than
what is termed Americanism.
The building of a Chinese wall of exclusion
and inclusion around the American republic
is by no means to be desired. In ancient days
probably such walls were advisable, under GER
tain circumstances, the world including Amer
lea, has outgrown any such limitations.
Human progress has made the nations in
terdependent. Commerce demands freedom
of trade territories without respect to national
boundaries. The so-caled high protective tar
ifs and other Chinese walls belong to the past
not to the present and the future. World pro-
gress and development demand interchange
Of commodities and bound up in that is the de
mand for international cooperation. There is
enough of Amercansm in the League of Ma
ions proposal to protect America, but we are
not advocating it on the theory that it is an
American issue.
We take this opportunity to insist that we
are not supporting the League of Nations be-
,ause it happens to have been brought to the
ore by the democratic administration. We
hould be glad to support it if it were fathered
" republican administration. Our belief is
hat if republican president had been in the
White House and a republican majority in con
'ress during the war, an agreement virtually
IDENTICAL with the league covenant as drawn
nd adopted at the peace congress would have
een before the world at this moment; and in
hat case the American senate would have ap-
rOved it many weeks ago.
We repeat that there is, or should be, moth
ng partisan in issue of such vast import
nee to America and the whole world-to the
uture wel-beng of the human race on this
lanet

The Tulsa Democrat modestly calls itself
''now the best newspaper in the state" in the
course of its leading editorial on the last day
of July the day when its twin, the Tulsa Morn
ing Times, suspended publication. The Demo
crat undoubtedly is a good newspaper, and un-
doubtedly it will be better newspaper here
after, now that its hungry twin, the Times has
ceased to devour all the net and a consider
able portion of the gross income of the Demo-
crat. Newspaper men throughout the state
are inclined to felicitate the Democrat for de
captating the Times, and to felicitate likewise
the Tulsa World for applying the AK to its even
ing edition, which devoured the sustenance of
the parent paper. Now let's all hope that Mr..
