THINGS THAT REALLY COUNT

Ardmore has not expressed satisfaction with
the census since the day the work was begun
locally, by the federal government.
This city has prosperity that few cities
have ever enjoyed.
This activity has made labor plentiful and
has made prices for labor very high, and when
the government came along offering census
takers the same pay they received 10 years
ago it was difficult to get help in Ardmore
and some of those who filed for the work never
put in their appearance when the working days
came.
Ardmore is to be congratulated that 1t had
men progressive enough to secure a recount.
Whether the figures on population will be
much larger or not there will at least be more
satisfaction expressed when the people know
that they have been given fair opportunity to
show what they have.
The census figures, as compared with those
of decade ago. are bound to be very satisfac-
tory to the people Our population has in
creased 100 per cent or more our per capita
wealth has increased many times more than
our population Local deposits in banks have
grown from approximately $1,000,000 to S15,-
100000 and this growth certainly is sufficient
to be gratifying to the people. The wealth
invested in homes has increased fifty fold and
the number of home owners has doubled sew
eral times.
But cities everywhere are inclined to count
growth by population alone. Population alone
cannot make desirable city, in fact it may
make for undesirableness when there is an
overcrowding.
The one great desirable feature is the class
of citizenship which city has, and this class
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-06-20
When School Their Appeal
Liberty the "Oaor Held Unbroken Silence

of citizenship is expressed in churches, schools
and internal improvements.
For our own use and enjoyment and as in
stitutions to pass on to others we are building
magnificent church edifices and we have
citizenship that contributes toward paying for
the best pulpit talent in the country and this
is the kind of advancement that counts for real
civilization.
Our schools have been built upon founda-
ton of true worth and progress and every child
we have is raised at the door of seat OF
learning
We have built mammoth financial institu-
tions so that every worthy business can be
financed.
We have built refineries and factories and
have touched national resources that inspire
the youth of the country and we have employ
ment not only for the worthy young men that
we raise, but for efficient young people that
come from the older states.
We have begun system of parks that are
desirable and of the modern conveniences to
which we are entitled there is but one needful
lacking and that is means of transportation.
Ardmore must rise in its rugged stretch and
forget selfishness and provide this means for
its people.

of the Day
GOOD POLITICAL FLYPAPER
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

tSt. Louis PoSt-DlSpatch)
THE republican party stands for
ia greement among the nations to pre-
serve the peace Of the world'-that
is. any kind Of agreement except the
one framed by our representatives
and those of our war associates and
accepted by all our associates and
nearly all the remainder of the ma
tions of the world.
How are we to get an agreement OF
the republican and when nearly all
of the civilized nations have already
adopted an agreement to guarantee
| peace, including provisions for the
.o1ifying of international law and
tribunal to adjudicate questions arising
under international law? Mr.. Root
is now in Europe serving on a COM
mission for this purpose.
| VIII all the other nations drop the
league of nations they have adopted
and organized to oblige the republican
party of the United States and to en-
able it to humillate President Wilson
| by reacting a peace covenant and
! league OF nations and an international
| tribunal differing in some way from
the covenant framed by the peace
conference and agreed to by all the
nations of the world who were free
to accept and enter it? Is the repub'
lican party to compel all the nations
to erase everything they have done
since the war in order to enable 1t TO
do Wilson,
How are the republicans to give us
| bn rraciipnt
for not accepting the senate reservp
tons and the sham peace resolution
but they do not point out how we
are TO arrive at satisfactory peace.
They ignore the only peace treaty in
existence which is now being carried
out by the allies and the peace cove
nant il embodies, but substitute moth
ing substantial, nothing but intangible
| suggestions and hopes with which
mankind was duped until the cataclysm
of the World War struck the world.
1t is inconceivable that great
narty assuming leadership in the pres
ent crisis Of the nation and the world
should deal out such cowardly, evas-
i've and meaningless stuff as the
whole plank Of peace. 1t is lot Of
high.sounding words, which would
have meant progressive aspiration
half dozen years ago, but signifies
nothing now, when we are confronted
bv the practical, pressing problem
Of restoring and guaranteeing peace
rcconstructng the war-torn nations
and re-estabishing sound principles OF
equity and liberty. Anybody who
doesn't care whether anything is done
and doesn't know what he wants can
stand on It.
Senator Johnson and his bitter-end
associates can stand on the plank be-
cause ii does not declare for any par
ticuar treaty or form of treaty or
any league or form of league. 1t is
triumph for the bittor-enders. Lodge
md his rartisans evidently feel that
thoy can stand on It. because 1t may
be interpreted TO mean any kind OF
peace and covenant that the repub'
leans may decide TO accept. The
declaration adopted proves that the
Lodge reservations were sham. de-

which will give to the wives and mothers of
America the right of equal suffrage "a plank
which will approve the nineteenth constitution
al amendment by all the states of the union,
the constitutional amendment which will ac-
cord to all the women of the United States the
right Of franchise.
Let the democrats when they assemble at
San Francisco carry out this honest and fear
less line and build such an honest and fear
less platform, after having enunciated, in the
preamble, the principles of the party in an
honest and fearless manner, and then nomi-

Watching Harding

Ponca City News: Republicans sp-
parently have not decided yet whether
the old gaurd is in control of the
situation The question with them 's
whether or not Harding was the
choice from the first or merely
compromise after 1t was seen that
neither Of the three leading candidates
could be nominated. Few persons
not in close touch with the convention
leaders, expected to see the ono
senator win. He was considered a fav.

signed to destroy the treaty, or the
bitter-enders, under the leadership OF
Johnson and Borah. have bluffed or
lashed the republican leaders to accept
declaration that has any old mean
ing the reader chooses to put upon
it, except the adoption Of the treaty
and covenant IN the form desired by
the president.
The plank at least, offers an op-
portunity for a clear-cut issue for or
against the league of nations. The
issue might have been confused If the
republicans had declared for the rati-
fication of the peace treaty, with the
Lodge reservations, but since they de-
clare for nothing in particular and
indorse the effort to destroy the whole
peace treaty and the covenant the
democrats can make the issue of peace
covenant or no peace covenant abso'
lutely clear. A democratic declara-
ton for the peace treaty, with reason
able reservations, would define the is
sue so that the wayfaring' man, though
a fool, could not err therein.
The republican peace plank Is the
crowning evasion in platform
abounding in appeals to public aspira-
tions without a specific program to
realize them. The platform is fine
sample of political flypaper.
