HONEST ENDEAVoR REWARDED

E'ORTY-SIX years of labor with one concern
is the record Of George B. Dealey, who IN
1874 became a boy worker on the Dallas
News, and the office of president and gen
eral manager is the reward that has come
to him for his faithful and untiring service.
1t was a pretty tribute paid him only a
day or so ago when the hundreds Of employees
of The News and The Journal gathered about
him and shook his hand upon his appointment
and gave him tokens Of appreciation for his
promotion.
Mr. Dealey has worked in every depart
ment of the paper in his climb to the top. He
knows every Job and knows what must be
done to make that job effective and to fill
its functions on a great paper, and he knows
that every department is of prime Importance
in making a paper useful.
He is not loked upon as boss, but as a
fellow worker. He has climbed up from the
place of galley boy, where he wore ink spots
from morning to night, and in his place now
he has the CRIME of sweat and the weight
of responsibility. He is a fellow worker and
his hundreds of men are but his family OF
employees. And in that word family there
is a wealth of meaning. The family tie
stands for sacrifice when sacrifice is required.
1t means that men and women are banded
together to help in trouble in sickness, in
poverty, and it means that the family purse
strings are open to the unfortunate member
until he is restored.
Such is the sentiment of the modern
workshop. Such is the sentiment that takes
the sting out of labor and makes the work
place pleasant, and such shop gets the best
out of its men and gives to them the best
it has.
Growing out Of the slave-driving period,
there was time when it was believed the
slave-driver, the cross, fractious, over-bearing
man, got the most effective labor out of men,
If there ever was such time it does not
exist today. The man who has loyalty in
stilled into him because his shop is loyal to
him, never counts hours Of labor and never
falls down when his services are needed for
the success Of the days work. That kind Of
loyalty is keener when the boss is not around ;
that kind of loyalty builds useful and profit
able business institutions.
George B. Dealey is such man as will
provoke just such loyalty, and the family ties
Of the Dallas News will grow stronger with
each year of his management.

the senate who will work for the veal of
their country, for the good of all America
and all American people, reegating to the
rear not only the republican wearers of the
honorable toga, but the professed democrats
who have proven themselves obstructionists,
men who have put the mighty ego above
party, above country, above honest intention
and honest purpose.
In other words, at has so come about
that the democratic party must fight to make
the whole world safe for self-governing peo-
pie, whether strong or weak"

BEAUTIFUL ARDMoRE

= EPORTS received from all parts of the
city indicate that the citizens, particu-
larly the younger ones, are following out The
Ardmoreite's suggestions and are doing much
toward making this city of real civic at
tractiveness.
A little wel-directed effort will go ia:
toward developing Ardmore into one Of the
most beautiful towns in all oklahoma. Just
a little cleaning up Of the rubbish in the
back yards; just little gathering together
and hauling away of the litter in back alleys;
Just little trimming Of the hedges and build
ing of trellises for rose bushes and climbing
vines; just little determination to make this
home look better and neater than that one ;
Just little desire to make that home look
better and neater than the other one; just
little of all these combined into one effort and
we will have the real "Ardmore Beautiful"
brought about without apparent effort and
at a minimum of expense.
Keep up the campaign already started.
Join the Ardmore Civic League and become
working, aggressive unit in that organiza-
ton and you will be proud to say to those
from other cities: Il live in Ardmore, the
most civically beautiful city in southern Ok
lahoma.'

UP TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY


II efore the last election gave the United
ID States its present republican congress-
spellbinders of that political organization
told the American voters Voclteratlng from
stump to platform, Of all the iniquitles OF
commission and Of omission of which the
democratic congress had been guilty.
At the same time these orators told the
voters what a republican congress would DO
They told what republican congress would
do to expedite all business, apperainng to
the reconstruction period following the great
war. They told what republican congress
would do for The soldiers. for the returned
bows who went over yonder and marched
through hell and faced German shot and
she'll and German steel. They told how
needed legislation would be enacted and
placed upon the national statute books, as
laws which would make all men and all
women, Of all parties, realize that through
the good graces of republican congress the
DAYS of the millennium had come. They made
promises and promises and still other prom
ises
Have any Of these promises been full
filled? Or has the republican congress been
content to issue verbal refunding bonds, CIV
