Heroes Who
Stayed at Home
Orchard s. Graves in Tulsa

DGHlOCIdlJ
While the war was going on and
now after it has ended there are
many unsung heroes and heroines
who never saw a battlefield. They
were not near the place of shot and
shell, for they were at home. They
were fighting, however, and the war
they waged was just as fierce as
that on the front in France and
Belgium.
They are the men and the women
who fought the epidemic of influ-
enza, the disease which took more
lives than the war. They are here
in Tulsa and in every other city
and town in the country. Some OF
them nursed in public hospitals and
in improvised hospitals arranged for
the care of the sick. Others remain
ed in their homes and cared for
those OF their own family. Many
were stricken with the disease and
gave their lives in the fight against
it.
Along with them the physicians
stand out as heroes for their work
in many instances was almost SUI
perhuman. There are physicians who
kept going while the epidemic ragged
until they were physically exhausted,
and who put their own lives in
jeopardy every day. There are some

on humanity. For four years it
looked to many as though the
forces OF Hell let loose through
Germany might crush the power
OF Heaven represented by the Al
lies in their great struggle, and
later on by America with them.
1t took faith in the power OF
right, faith in the power OF Al
mighty God, faith in America and
England and France, to be optimis-
tic through those dark days, but
now civilization has conquered
barbarism and the world once more
is bathed in the sunshine OF life and
hope and certainty.
Under such conditions there is
no room for the pessimist. Broad
enthusiasm, untiring optimism, the
optimism which looks beyond any
temporary cloud and sees what can
be worked out, is the spirit which
should rule in the heart OF every
man and woman in America. And
this is the spirit largely shown in
the interesting letters which are
the special feature of this weeks
issue. We commend them to our
readers.
As a nation we should in this
connection remember that the
problems which face us are trifling-
ly small as compared with the prob
lens which we have conquered.
As a nation our situation today
as the midday sunlight compared
with the dark clouds OF night when
we contrast our present position
with that OF twelve months ago.
We we're then under the feverish
activity of developing a mighty

committed to us the opportunity OF
creating a mighty peace. machine

and moral forces OF all the world.

JUST A FEW BOOSTS
The Ardmoreite's Edition
(Lawton Constitution)


The Ardmoreite issued a very eX-
cellent booster edition on New
Years Day. The edition contained
five parts with a total of forty-iour
pages, replete with illustrations and
information about Oklahoma City.
One regret might be expressed in
connection with comment on the
edition however and that is that
The Ardmoreitc, which is undouht-
edly one OF the best papers in the
state, like many OF the other news
papers OF the state, receives less
support at home than abroad. Tul-
sa and Oklahoma City in ilIuStra-
tions, news material and adver-
tising appears to be better repre-
sented in The Ardmorcite's edition
than Ardmore itself. This condi-
ton is evidently due to a lack Of
interest on the part OF Ardmorc
business men. Newspapers always
prefer the patronage of business
men in the city in which they are
printed to those in other cities.
The Ardmoreite's edition was an
excellent one however, and was 4
credit to the men, who published it.

The Ardmoreite Means ArdmOre Right
DAN HILL OF WEST VIRGINIA

XVIIIO in Sam Hill is Dan Hill, that he assumes
w to go and do it? Dan Hill OF West Virginia
certainly has gone and done it now Dan Hill
has stone-dried Jim Reeds bone-dry amendment, as
the decision OF the supreme court OF the United States
holding shipment OF booze into dry states even 1or
personal use illegal goes to prove. But for the un-
warranted action Of Dan Hill OF West Virginia, who
ever he may be, il anybody in particular, Senator
Reeds celebrated amendment might have remained
only bone-dry. Now it is stonc-dry-alas for the
personal user
Ii appears from the evidence, which the Associated
Press rickleS through the wires in exceedingly Scanty
supply that Dan Hill was charged with taking quart
oi liquor-thcy seem to call it liquor over there in
those beuighted mountans-ino West Virginia for
his personal use the state laws permit. The grand
jury appears to have indicted Dan Hill for the das
tardly act, but the lower court dismissed the indct-
holding that the liquor had not been transported
in interstate commerce within the meaning OF the
law, because it was intended for Dan Hills personal
use and not for trade That decision was reversed
by the federal supreme court and the case was re-
manded
That is all the evidence. 70 get the real story in
all its pahOs we must go behind the news returns

must imagine the same and said Dan Hill climbing

infrequent complimentary notices

BRITAIN FORGETS NOTHING

N THE EVENT that you regard yourself as being
l too severe on the poor downtrodden Huns in
your demand for reparation, just cast your eye
over this little list of things which the Associated
Chambers OF Commerce in England handed TO Pre-
mler Lloyd George when he started to Paris and the
peace congress The premier was urged to demand:
Payment by the enemy Of all war expenses.
Compensation for loss of property and damage
to property arising out of the war.
Compensation for all personal injuries includ-
ing a sum representing the cost of all pensions
paid to disabled men, women and children.
Compensation for the loss in national power
caused by The death or disablement of potential
producers and by the disorganizaion OF means
OF production and transport
Payment OF all enemy debts and interest on all
charges from the date they are incurred until
final payment
After reading that you may take a long breath
and mediate briefly. Then perhaps you won't think
You have been altogether too hard on the Huns. If
Germany or the German people ever are able to
read the welcome legend Paid in Full" at the bot
tom OF that list they will have at least the satisac
uon OF knowing that they are the most efficient work
ers in history; and efficiency, as you know. is the big
German boast
The terms are hard-yes. So also was the Hun
