ORDINANCES PNVIOI \ c
FOR IN CREA9E \ The
SALARIES OF OFFICIALS

Ordinances incJasing the salaries
Of the membersIof the police, fire
and other deraftments Of the city
government vers passed by unani'
nous vote at the meeting Of the
board Of comm issloners Friday night.
The budget Jas drawn up for the
police department for the coming
term will petnit the addition to the
force Of tlrie more men, including
one motorcycle policeman.
The ordnance granting the in
crease to The police department pro.
vides for A salary Of SIPS per month to
the day sergeants; SIPS per month to
the night sergeants; $140 per month
to the other members Of the police
force; g2j per month to the patrol
driver and S14O per month to the
motorcycle policeman, and 1925 per
mont for the police chief.
Chief Makes Plea
~ originally drawn up, the ordi.
name provided that salaries Of the
police department be fixed according
to- length Of service of the men How
ever Chief of Police Chancellor de.
lyered an appealing address before
the board, requesting that length of
iervice of the policemen be disregard
ed in drawing up the ordinance He
stated that he had men under his
command who had been on the force
only a few days, but that as far as
efficiency was concerned, they were
worth as much to him as three or
more men who had been on the force
over six months. The board agreed
with the chief that length of serv.
ice was no consideration. and ac
cordingly removed that provision from
the ordinance.
Commissioner Carter suggested that
fewer men be employed on the force
so as to enable the salaries TO be
higher But Mr. Chancellor replied
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-08-29

that he you'd rather have the add,
tional men, as necessity demanded
a larger force.
Increase in Fire Department

fire department We're increased by
S25 more to each man. The salar'
les of the department. as provided

ECHOLS PPRECIATIVE
OF SUPPORT Of CARTE R
COUNTY FRIENDS N THE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMA RY

Il. +. Echols, member Of the stat"
corporation commission ana II. w.
Huben the telephone expert with the
commission passed through Ardmore
Friday afternoon en- route TO Anilers
where they had a telephone case set
for hearing Saturday.
In speaking Of the recent primary
election in Garter county wherein Mr..
Echols as q candidate received such
a handsome plurality over his numer'
GUS opponents he said that he was
very grateful to the people Of Carter
county for the interest they took In
his behalf during the campaign, that
he regretted very much that he could
not have made 4 more thorough can
vass before the primary, but in view
Of the number of votes he received
thought he must have some pretty
warm personal friends to look after
his interests while he was busy in
other sections.
Referring to the telephone situation
Mr. Echos said that people Of Ol;laho-
ma no doubt have grounds for com
plant. that the service, as a whole,
is so superior TO what it is in many
of the other sthates that they are to
be congratulated. The public service
corporations We're all, more or less,
demoralized during the war, and It
will be some time before conditions
become settled again, he thinks. An
other feature referred to by the cfm-
missioner in connection with the tele'
phone question was the question ol
wages. The operator is not, as
rule. so well paid as many other
girls who work for a living, Snd as
result the active. wide awale lady
when she starts out to earn ler own
living is likely to quit the switchboard
and enter other lines as soon rs the
wage is tempting enough TO lure her
TO a new job for that rtas1n con-
stant changes in operates greatly
impares the service for which the
public has TO suffer.
Mr.. Echois has many warm per
sonal friends i'm this section and he
says he is going to take few days
off and do some hunting here when
the season for quail IS open.

R. v. NC ADAMS VISITS
ARDMORE AFTER ABSEN CE
fOF 25 YEARS, PUBLISHER
OF FIRST NEWS PAPER

After an absence Of 25 years, r.
W. NicAdams, former resident OF
Aldmore, visited here Friday and in
speaking of the changes which have
taken place during the period stated
that there is not one single Landmark;
left to tell what Ardmore was 20
years ago"
There is not a house, not a build
ing OF any kind. not street, there
is nothing l can find of the old Ard
more" he said, and then in a remin-
iscent mood briefly stated-"Ard-
more has fulfilled the promise she
gave those years ago and all that l
looked forward to has come to pass.
Published First Paper
Mr.. McAdams published the first
newspaper ever printed in Ardmore.
His newspaper career in Oklahoma,
however, dates even farther back than
the time of his coming to Ardmore
for it was in 1889 that he founded
the oklahoma Chieftain' at Okla
homa City. He recalled the first
day the paper was published, April
%. 1889. Il remember quite well that
we got the paper out in tent. It
was several days possibly three weeks
before we could find any sort OF
house to move into and so the tent
served the purpose and it was this
plant which l subsequently moved 10
Ardmore, and I changed the name 10
"Chickasaw Chieftain.' This was in
1890.
The printing" office was located on
South Caddo street, back Of the Whit
tington corner now the site Of the
railroad right of way.
Here Mr. McAdams paused to recall
that after all the corner Of Main
and Caddo streets was then tht
"Whittington" corner, but instead
of a hotel, it was a general merchan
disc store.
Those We're trying days for all OF
US" Mr. McAdams continued, I'VE
were all doing our utmost to advance
the interest OF our little town, and il
is, and has always been matter
of great deal OF qualification to know
that during my six years OF residence
in, Ardmore. my paper and my person
al service was devoted to the progres
sive movement for Indian Territory
Il made six trips to Washington

progressive men Of this section, advo

SHRINE'S MEANING NOT PLAIN
Erected to the Memory Of Japanese
Maid, But It's Precise Idea
Hardly Apparent.

One Of the pretty shrines of Japan
Is based on the story of beautiful
girl. and to this day occidentals can
not figure out If the shrine was to
perpetuate a tragedy or an honor. The
story is that Yamatodake, one of the
greatest warriors in the history Of the
country, halted for night at the
village of Shimodaira. He was weary
Of battle and strife, and sent out word
to the village that he wished to be
entertained by the prettiest girl there.
Kemachiya was selected. and it Is told
how she spent the evening singing
and dancing for the warrior. He went
on his masterful way the next morning
leaving the little maiden to mourn his
passing, and to give birth to his child
in due time.
Now. the child died. as did its moth
er. and the village erected the shrine
and every few years it is rebuilt and
made more beautiful. But what no
occidental can discover Is whether the
shrine was built to remind the citizens
Of the militarism of the old days that
trod with relentless heels on beggar
and wealthy alike, and thus to pay
tribute to tragedy, or whether 1t
was built to show that the great war
rior honored the humble village by
taking one Of it's membership into his
arms.

DIDN'T GET CHIEFS MEANING
Sailor Misunderstood, but After All,
Kangaroo Is as Good Name
as Any Other.

The Kangaroo received its name
through the failure Of white men to
understand the language of the Aus
tralian bushmen. Captain Cook, dis
coverer Of Australia, gazing shoreward
one day, saw a group of natives about
what seemed to be most peculiar
animal. He sent a group of men
ashore to get 1t. and was still more
amazed when told of its shape, its
habit of carrying its young in pouch
and its remarkable leaping ability. He
wanted the natives name for the spec
linen that he intended to take back to
England.
whats the name Of that beastie?"
demanded an English tar of the ma
tives' chief.
Kan ga roo," returned the native.
Kangaroo, eh?" repeated the sailor
man; and. satisfied, returned to his
captain. The fact is, however. that
the words spoken by the chief are
merely phrase meaning II, or we,
don't know"
