affairs of the postal system We
commend the republican congress for
the enactment of legislation increas.
ing the pay OF postal employees; who
up to that time were the poorest pail
in the government service.
Woman Suffrage
We welcome women into fun par.
ticipation in the affairs of govern.
ment and the activities of the repub.
lican party. We earnestly hope that
republican legislatures in states which
have not yet acted upon the suffrage
amendment will ratify the amendment
TO the end that all OF the nation of
voting age may participate in the elec.
ton Of 1920, which is so important
TO the welfare OF our country.
Social Progress
The supreme duty Of the nation
is the conservation of human re-
sources through an enlightened meas
ure Of social and industrial justice.
Although the federal Jurisdiction over
social problems is limited, they affect
The welfare and interests of the ma.
ton as a whole. We pledge the re-
publican party to the solution Of
these problems through national and
state legislation in accordance with
the best progressive thought Of the
country.
Education and Health
We endorse the principle of federal
aid TO the states for the purpose of
vocational and agricultural training.
Wherever federal money is devoted
to education, such education must be
so directed as to awaken in the youth
the spirit Of America and sense
of patriotic duty to the United States.
y thorough system Of education for all
children up to the age Of 10, includ-
ing adequate health supervision and
instruction, would remedy conditions
revealed by the draft and would add
10 the economic and industrial
| strength of the nation. National
leadership and stimulation will be
necessary to induce the states to add
a wise system of physical training
The public health activities Of the
federal government are scattered
| through numerous departments and
resulting in inefficiency, duplication
and extravaganza. We advocate a
greater Capitalization of the federal
functions. and in addition urge the
better coordination of the work Of
the federal, state, and local health
agencies.
Child Labor
The republican party stands for a
| federal child labor law and for its
rigid enforcement II the present law
be found unconstitutional, or ineffect-
i've, we shall seek other means to en-
able congress to prevent the evils Of
child labor.
Women in Industry
Women have special problems of
employment which make necessary

for the permanent establishment of

as a source Of information to the

THE HAND THAT RULES

1t was a poet who sung, long years
ago. Of the hand that rocks the
cradle being the hand that rules the
world
Ruling by proxy, 50 far as women
were concerned, was then in vogue
But things have changed now. With
votes for women the proxy stuff has
been eliminated and the hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand which
will soon sway the political destinies
Of this section Of the world.
The professional politicians Of the
southwest must awaken to the truth
of the importance of the woman in
politics. In other sections Of the
nation the women are manifesting the
greatest interest in politics. In fact,
we might say that they are manifest.
ting this interest in all sections Of the
union, save in the south and south
west.
In the southwest, however, the
women are displaying a lethargy in
affairs of a political nature, and
this lethargy, this dont'.careism is
largely due to the men Of the domi.
nant party.
Especially may this be claimed true
n this county, to bring the matter
rom a national 10 a purely local
point. Through 4 well systematized

who are taking interest in the affairs

WHY NOT ANNUALLY?

1t has been suggested that it might
not be amiss for the state Confed-
crate reunion to be held in Ardmore
annually. In other words, by vote
Of the several camps Of Confederate
veterans, to name Ardmore as the
regular place for holding the yearly
convocations Of the few remaining Of
those who wore the gray during the
war between the states.
Ardmore is really the logical place
for holding the annual meetings. 1t
is conveniently located, so far as
railway facilities are concerned. 1t
has a good class Of citizenship, all Of
whom are anxious and willing to do
the right thing in entertaining the
old soldiers and showing them good
time.
In addition to this Ardmore is the
city wherein the state Confederate
home is located, that home which a
wise state government provided for
the aged and infirm survivors of the
Confederacy toward whom Fortune
has turned the darker side Of her
features.
1t is but natural that the mem
oers of the Confederate veterans or.
ganization should be interested in
the Confederate home, and that they
should wish to visit it and the in.
mates, their old comrades in arms,
as often as could be conveniently
arranged, and through holding the
reunion in Ardmore every year, this
opportunity would be theirs.
1t might be suggestion we'll worth
the attention Of the Ardmore Cham
Der of Commerce. AT any rate it is
a suggestion worthy the careful con-
sideration Of those who wish to give
the advancement of Ardmore, careful
thought.
The veterans who are guests Of
Ardmore upon the occasion of this
reunion are loud in their praises Of
the manner in which the citizens
Of this city have entertained them,
and gone to pains to keep them
pleasantly diverted and make them
feel at home. We venture the as
sertion that many, perhaps the ma.
jority Of the ones who are here today
you'd be willing to vote TO make

The housing shortage has not only
compelled careful study of ways of

brought into relief the unsatisfactory

With the news dispatches carrying the
story of the horror which was staged in New
York Thursday when the Board of Trade
and the Morgan office buildings were dyna-
mited, it really seems that the time has come
when the people of this country, the officers
of the state and nation should awaken and
realize that 1t is high time for stop to be
put on the perpetraton of such hellish deeds.
Ever since the United States became a
nation the laws have been too lenient with
the radical element which comes to this coun-
try gaining entry through immigration laws
which are all too weak and general in their
provisions

LIVESTOCK EDITION
(From the Ardmore statesman)


The Daily Ardmoreite of last Sun
day was in the form of livestock
special edition. 1t contained many
interesting stories and pictures Of
the stock farms of Carter county.
and was in a measure a revelation
as to tlC magnitude TO which this
branch Of agriculture has developed
in Carter county. 1t was but a few
years ago that the scrub" was the
rule and the pure bred" the excep-
ton. on Carter county farms. But
our daily contemporary has shown in
this special edition that things have
changed. and Carter Is now started
on the road to become a leading
pure bred stock county" in Oklaho-
ma. Their issue should act as n
stimulus TO stockmen. The public
acknowledgement of the progress be-
ing made by the aggressive breeders.
and publicity of the efforts toward
raising the standard Of Carter county
livestock should and no doubt will.
be appreciated by the progressive
farmers and stock raisers in the COM
munity.

Christians cannot accept the view
sometimes advanced which would
regard a humane or liberal educa-
tion as suitable only for those en-
tering the professions, and which
would estimate the success of the
education offered the great ma
jority of the population by its
ability to qualify them for mere
ly more efficient labor in their
various occupations.
There must be diversity of edu-
cational methods. because there
are diversities Of gifts. But the
basis of differentiation should be
differences of taste or of capac-
ity. not differences Of class or of
income. The manual worker
needs a liberal education for the
same reason as the barrister or
the doctor-that he may develop
his faculties and play q reason
able part in the affairs Of the
community.
