A RO NJ 0 RE|TE HAD THE
NEWS ONE N IN UTE
FROM MOMENT II WAS
SENT FROM CHI CA co

Without wish or attempt to
"toot our own horn" The Ard
moreite desires to call attention OF
its many readers to the absolute
ly reliable, as well as quick news
service which 1t was enabled to
give its readers in connection with
the Chicago republican conven-
ton, through the cooperation Of
the Associated Press. The Ard
moreite takes what is known as
the full leased wire service from
the Associated Press, thereby re-
ceiving the same news exactly
as that sent out to the Oklaho-
man, the Dallas News, the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram and every
other metropolitan paper in the
United States.
During the republican conven-
ton The Ardmoreite was on di-
rect wire, receiving the news
within an almost infinitisimal
space Of time from the moment
of its happening at Chicago.
When Pennsylvania was passed
in Saturday evenings balloting,
and the change OF the vote of that
states delegation meant the NOM
inaion of Senator Harding as
the republican presidential candi-
date, just ONE MINUTE from
the time the announcement was
made on the floor Of the con.
vention hall. the Associated Press
operator in the ,ArdmOreite office
was clicking the words of the
"big news" on his typewriter,
keeping time TO his telegraph
sounder transmitting it.
In this connection it might be
well to say that the Associated
Press news is reliable and that
The Ardmoreite had the straight
dope Saturday Of the recess
for conference" and the choice of
Harding as the conference COM
promise, fully 30 minutes before
the cotton wire gave the errone-
Gus information to the effect that
"Lowden had been nominated"
The Ardmoreite's service on the
democratic convention, at San
Francisco, will be just as reliable
and just as quick as was its SER
vice from the republican conven-
ton at Chicago.

bic that the United States has not
ratified the league of nations,

American Federation of Labor,
declared today IN an address be-
fore the federation's convention.

covenant, he added. would help

people of the world and would
help workers in the most back

THE SUM OF 100000
WAS SUBSCRIBED TO
THE B U|L i'm c FUND OF
B ROAD v Ay METHODIST.
{ H j R { h YESTER ROAY

DR.. Ashley Chappell will deliver a
great message to the people Of Ard
more this evening at SIS. Prayer
and song service will begin at 8
o'clock.
Sunday was great day at the tab
ernacle. Just before delivering the
morning message and at the beginning
of the evening service a total of APP
prcximately $4,000 was subscribed
to the building OF the new Methodist
church.
Those who have wondered If the
money for this great church could
be raised are beginning to realize that
it can be and that there is not the
slightest doubt but that It will be.
An encouraging feature is that so
many are coming forward with their
subscription without being solicited.
The payments are to be made As fol-
lows: One-third in 30 to 60 days; one
third in - months and one-third in
two years from date. However, this
great offering did not hamper the
spiritual side Of the services, but
seemed to add momentum.
DIR. Chappell preached two splendid
sermons. There were large crowds
at both services. In the evening the
large tabernacle would not hold the
great crowd that gathered to hear
the sermon. DR.. Chappell was at his
best. There were continued amen'S
from the congregation and quite a
number at the close of the service
pushed their way through the crowd
to take the minister by the hand, and
express their determination to live
better life.
DR.. Chappell then called for those
who desired to unite with the various
churches of the city. He stated that
the names Of those wishing to join
other churches would be turned over
to the various pastors. Several gave
their names. Everyone is invited to
Join the great crowd tonight.

JUDGE HU GHES WARNS
GRADUATES THAT THE
\ A TION s HEART CA \
NOT Be EASILY CHAN GED


Wellesley, Mass, June 14.-Charles
Il. Hughes, in an address at Welles-
ley college commencement exercise
today, cautioned bis hearers that in
an appreciation Of the difficulties
which have accompanied the period
after the war, we must avoid dis
torted view and we must not fail to
realize that "the great heart of the
t.sas<~ n not changed in a few
months"
His subject was "the patriotism of
peace"
He contrasted the unified efforts
Of wartime with the absence OF a
compelling motive and the rush Of
competing interests that have follow.
ed"
Unless we have peace-time," he
said. that dominant sentiment which
prompts a continuous and self sacri.
ficing devotion to public ends, the
sacrifice Of patriotism in war will
have been In vain. Our national
ideals are neither imperialistlc nor
racial. They transcend all ordinary
up in anything short of establishing
and maintaining constitutional gov
ernment as the sure base of liberty.
1T is a spurious patriotism that Is
linked to the triumph of any creed or
class. or becomes the vehicle Of big
otry. The common good rooted in
the essential institutions 70 justice
and Individual liberty-that is the
rational ideal.
I'VE have talked so much free IN
stitutions that we are apt to think
that in this country they will take
care Of themselves. Recent and cur
rent experiences should disabuse US
Of this notion. We have too many
evidences Of a readiness TO take ad-
vantage Of opportunity to establish
autocratic administration. Tho case
with which abuses have arisen and
have been condoned should give us
more anxiety than wild utterances
which easily defeat themselves. 1t Is
in the orderly processes OF constitu-
tional government, that is. govern
ment Of law--wth power so adjusted
as TO secure protection from capri
cious and arbitrary action in the put
ling Of the principles and rules sane
toned by the people in the place Of
tyranny, that we find the security
of liberty Whoever seeks to subvert
those orderly processes Is the enemy
against whom at once the entire pow
er of organized society should be d.
Tected.
There IL, however a great differ.
ence between protecting the orderly
processes Of government and the at
tempt to express opinion with which
We do not agree. Precisely because
liberty must have its institutions. be-
cause liberty can only continue
through organizations securing gov
ernment upon the basis of accepted
principles, that :he institutions OF
liberty are hopelessly defective. and
Inadequate If they do not provide
the means for the adaptations which
each generation must have to guar
aztec its freedom.
THE motto for democracy must
be Educate You cannot at once
educate, however. and stfle opinion.
There Is hope in the free air, there
is tonic In conference, in ultimate
success of what you strongly believe
10 be true, but the policy of denying
free expression Of political opinions,
is death to the republic, for that ex
preston is its vital force"

there's an appeal about Ann-she's
just such a confiding little child that
one feels bound to keep her happy
at any cost to oneself.
l suppose Jim will always feel
bound to keep her happy. And Deb,
just because she is strong, will al
ways have to be martyr. So far in
AIMS married life, there has been
no reason for her to give up any,
thing. But it occurred to me as she
hunted for her pet that one never
could guess just how much Ann knew
about anything, and certainly, one
never could tell how she would act.
