Caesar or CHRISTI
The world must progress according
to the methods of julius Caesar or the
theories of Jesus Christ. During the
last five years that ancient contest came
to a head and the cross of Christ must
henceforth and forever be made the
standard of civilization instead of the
crown of julius Caesar. For the sec
ond time in this house l appeal from the
rule of force to the rule of reason. The
conquering armies camped on the Rhine
have fought to establish the fact that
civilization is better civilized than bar
barism. If common sense is more po-
tent than the sword, if men have de
terminod on the field of battle that that
is their sober intention and their law,
womor should now be accorded the
same opportunity to take part in life
that men have always had.

THE ARDMoREITE INFLUENTIAL

ELSEWHERE IN THIS PAPER TODAY the
- reader will find the final official returns
showing the vote in the recent bad roads elec-
ton, with interesting locality sidelights. The
adverse ma ajority of 10l ,410 in the state does
not prove that Oklahoma people do not want
good roads. 1t indicates merely that they did
not understand the proposition upon which they
voted. Only 69,9l7 voters out Of 24l ,244 who
cast their ballots on the proposition saw that
the fifty million-dollar bond issue as proposed
would solve the problem.
Throughout the campaign The Ardmoreite
strongly advocated the voting Of the bonds. Ed
torally and in It's news columns, and with the
news and editorial cooperation of its Oklahoma
City staff correspondent, Charles II. Adams,
who had watched the progress of the bill
through the legislature and studied thoroughly
the merits and dement's of the measure, this
newspaper from day to day urged voters to sup
port the proposition as the only feasible solu-
ton of the problem that had been presented
For this reason brief review of the returns
from The Ardmoreite's territory is presented.
The Daily Oklahoman, it has been assumed,
did much toward the defeat of the measure.
The Okahoman was as strongly against the
bonds as The Ardmoreite was for them. The
Oklahoman has more or less scattering cir
culation in the territory which The Ardmore-
ite covers, though the Oklahoma City paper
always gets into this territory with the news
one day behind virtually the same news pub
lished in The Ardmoreite. 1t appears from the
returns that the people of this part of the state
preferred the attitude of The Ardmoreite
rather than that of The Oklahoman.
The bonds had favorable maiorities in Mar
shall, Love, Garvin, Bryan and Choctaw coun-
ties. The maiorities for the measure in the
counties named are: Marshall, 976; Love, 28S;
Garvin, 1888; Bryan, 1,474; Choctaw-the ban
ner county of the state for good roads,, 450
Carter county, to be sure, went against the
bonds by 92 votes; but the city of Ardmore,
where naturally The Ardmoreites circulation
is supreme went more than five to one for the
bonds. The vote in this city was light enabling
the county, through the adverse vote OF the
rural districts. to bring through less than 100
majority against the proposition. Pontotoc and
Johnston counties also gave small majorities
against the measure, 85 and 56 respectively.
of these figures with the tremen-
lous adverse majorities in most Of the other
counties in the state appear TO indicate that
lhe Ardmoreites crusade for good roads had
he effect Of keeping down the vote against
he bonds
While The Ardmoreite of course regrets
md deplores the statewide majority against
rood roads, it believes that the returns from
IS own chief circulation territory give it leave
o say that this newspaper eXerts a very con-
iderable influence as a moulder of public
pinion. Our modesty deters us from insinuat-
ng that this is modest statement Of the case.

Ardmore, May "a.
Editor Daily Ardmoreite;
The grundfathers and mothers OF
the home were made happy today by
the Love county singing class. There
we're IS in the class. They sang many
of the old songs that were
sung away back long before
we can remember. The singing was
led by Mr.. \. j. Bolen of Marietta
There We're short and inspiring talks
made by different ones. and one es'
pccially by Mr.. Bolen. After explaining
that he was too young to be soldier
which would have entitled him justly
to belong to the band that was listening
to him. yet he felt that he belonged
to this band. ana he sang IL Belong to
This Band" and he sang il with such
spirit and understanding that the tears
! flowed freely down the furrowed cheeks
of many.
There were many impressive scenes
during their short stay, and especially
when Grandma Webb. that motherly old
soul, who is an invalid in the hospital,
confined 10 her bed. asked to be placed
| in her wheel.chair and wheeled out on
the porch that she might hear the sing
Ing. OF course we could not without
| the consent of the nurse. and when her
attention was called to it, she said,
why, Yes" and the nurse herself
with her own hand lovingly and tender
| " arranged the chair. assisted in plac-
! ing her comfortably in and wheeled
| her out on the porch and stayed with
/ her that | with her other help might
| 20 to the hall and hear the singing.
1t was impressive, and more 50 be
cause Of the fact the nurse has help
that could and would have done it
equally as well as she, but it is char
acteristic with her always to be present
and assist in every difficult case.
Grandma Webb is Old and helpless and
needed her attention and assistance and
she got it. This is no exception.
| There are IS inmates in the hospital
and seven are practically helpless.
Three are parilitics, and. on every occa-
sion when the nurses assistance is
needed and her attention called to it,
she attends to it at once. She is firm,
but kind TO all alike. She has one cook
who has helper. They prepare meals
for the % and many times that many
different diets and place them on the
trays and they are carried to the patti
ents by the assistant cook and myself,
all under the instruction of the nurse.
The nurse has but one assistant and
he has but little to do. He has to run
errands, bring fresh water make the
beds, scrub two halls, shine the Win
dows, help carry the meals three times
a day, wait on the sick. sit up at night
and many other little things too tedi-
Gus TO mention.
The nurse and the cook and her as
sistant do the work. Since l have
been here | have not heard an inmate
speak of the nurse but that she is their
Saviour and no doubt she has pro
l1nged the lives of many.
make mention of these facts so
that if any one has relatives or friends
here, he or she may rest assured that
they receive the very best of attention.
