The Ardmoreite Means Ardmore Right
mo RETIcENCE IN AMERICA"

THE unlamented Count Bcrnstorft complained
when he was ambassador to America that
"the fact of an American newspaper being sub
sdized can never be kept secret because there IS no
reticencc in this country
Poor, crude New World The American press
and public must both feel profoundly humiliated
whenever they recall that kultured rebuke.
Bernsorff himself as we know from official dis
closures, was a master Of retcencc. He could keep
silent in two three languages at once regarding
thousand evil and nsoent plots against the peace
dignity and safety of the country whose hospitality
he enjoyed. No code OF honor, public or private ever
caused him to bmrt ont anything So embarrassing as
4 crooked subsidy, a bomb plot or a diplomatic con
Spiracy
And now it has been suggested that Bernstorff
may be German delegate TO the peace conference
It will not do at all, The poor fellow would be dread
irly shocked and annoyed For il the general i'm
preston OF that conference correct it will conduct
ITS proceedings in the open, according to the crude
ideal OF American diplomacy. How can a statesman
OF hernstoris breed endure a diplomacy that has as
little retcence and much honesty as American
lournalism'

home owning and The disadvantages
OF tcnantry are cNpatiated upon.
The "Own Your Own Home
movement, too is calculated to
make better citizens in a national
way. 1t gives each individual share
in the soil OF America and appeals
directly TO his patriotism by Great
ing a feeling that hc and his family
are an integral part OF the nation.
Convincing figures are arranged
covering all income, and all kinds of
property so that it is made apparent
to even the most important person
that it is possible to own home
with but little more effort than is
required to pay the rents that in
some Instances, are so cXtortionate.
At the same time civic improvement
yard and home beautiication, and
various other topics are discussed.
1t is estimated that millions OF
dollars worth OF property will change
hands this spring in eastern cities
due to the Gown Your Own Home
campaigns and that thousands and
thousands OF families who have nev.
er tried to save a dollar before will
begin their tardy efforts to pay out
on a place they can call their own.
Every city in the country could
well afford to stage this kind of a
campaign, not only as a business
proposition, but in the interest OF
good citizenship and municipal ad.

GOOD WORDS FROM WILLIAMSl

n OVERNOR WILLIAMS said something at the
VI dinner OF the Young Mems Democratic Club the
other night 81 am retiring" said the governor
"and after | get out OF the governors chair and as
sumo the duties OF judge | can never make political
speech again, so | am going to make now. l
didn't vote for women to get the ballot but that
they have it l want to see them use it, | want them
to drive the crook and camoullager out of politics.
As we stated at the outset, the governor said
something. Every good citizen will be in hearty ac-
cord with the sentiment he expressed But that hard
ly could be called political speech, nasmuch as it
contained no element OF partsanShp. 1t was, more
properly, a sociological utterance We should be
very glad to have other public men OF Oklahoma make
such speeches. and there is every probability that they
will do so in due season-the season being due right
now The retiring governor never has given forth an
utterance credtable to his wisdom and it augurs
well for his forthcoming as federal Judge.
THE crook and camouflager' in politics is one OF
the things that is the matter with Oklahoma. Here
tofore there have been altogether too many crooks
and camouflagers in both parties Occasionally one
OF them gets into high office. In a great many cases
several of them get into city county offices, and
then there's hell to pay. The people suffer the re-
spectacle upright deserving citizens, for the sins Of
the crook and camouager in office.
Very probably Governor Williams, unlike great
many other Oklahoma politicians secs the new order
coming. 1t is coming not only in Oklahoma, but
throughout the United States. Various signs herald
its speedy approach The professional politician is
going to be unhorsed You may mark that Tor future

SOLDIERS AND HEALTH

M AJOR-GENERAL GORGAS, formerly surgeon
IFI general OF the United States Army, says that
when our 100000 fighting men return and re
sume their places in civilian life they will be an I'M
;ortant factor in improving the nations health be-
OF the knowledge Of, and respect for santa
tion that they have gained in the army
When it comes to question OF water and sew
age systems in the old home town. it is going TO be
easier to convince the community OF their value The
soldier vote and the soldier influence will be strong
lor such measures The soldiers wilt likewise ap-
prove street cleaning, remembering their camp life
and the benefits they gained from it, And so on
through the "wholc gamut OF sanitary measures"
which apply to the life of civilian community Of
men, women and children very much as they do TO
community OF men living in barracks
There is no doubt of it, And the satisfaction
americans find in the prospect is not based on any
peculiar need OF sanitation and health In both re-
'pccS we are already ahead OF any other big nation
n Danish writer attributes our war achievements
largely TO American preeminence in health but the
more We consciously improve our health the more
we appreciate its value

our cities and towns there need be no limit Set to our
national efficiency and progress

Employers OF labor arc interested
in these campaigns from the fact
that men who are buying homes be-

be retained indefinitely by adequate

these campaigns is to curb the high

Sible, the conditions created by the
tendency OF tenants to crowd into

Cleveland, C., Sept. 9.-With some 2,000 delegates from the collieres of the United States and Canada gath cred in the arnory of the Cleveland Grays the international convention Of United Mine Workers of America the 25th consecutive gathering of that or ganization was called to order at 10 o'clock this morr:ng. Events have conspired to make it probably the most interesting in the history Of the mine workers, since quite apart from the possibilities of trouble con- templated in it's almost certain de- mands for higher wages and shorter hours, the miners of Great Britain are ation in the questions of the six hour day and the 30 hour week and of the standardization of coal miners.

 Engineers, chemists, physicists, geo. graphers and even archa aeologists are to detail for the first time what won- ders British forces wrought in France and the ast. One curious result of the excellence of air photogra phy, concerning hich there will be many papers, is that it has discovered the sites of lost Asiatic cities for which archaeologists have been vainly dig ging these many years.

Various Reports Rife in Paris-One Is That He Will Not Be Tried for Treason.

Paris, Sept. g, (Havas) Various reports were in circulation today re- garding the case of Joseph CaillauX the former premier who has been under arrest for more than a year on charges of having had reasonable dealings with the enemy. Several of the newspapers report that the com mittee of inquiry of the high court which has had the ease under long investigation has decided to issue 8 decree sending the ex-premier before the court, as was recommended not long ago in report by the attorney general.
 Some of the journals add to this the report that the charge of treason against M.
