Editorial
of the Day
A REAL JURY.
(From Poteau News)

The last jury up in district court
has built a precedent that can be-
followed By coming juries for all time
to come. Too much cannot be said
OF those gallant twelve men who put
sickly sentimentality aside and did
their sworn duty as the people ex-
pected them to do.
Too many jurors in this county have
side-stepped their duty waiting for
George to do it, for them. and we
have arrived at the point whore some-
thing had TO be done or would have
pretty soon been undone.
True some people may shudder at
the thoughts Of a body of twelve men
committing another man to the cleo
trio chair, and say that its a brutal
thing to do. but were it not for just
such men as those who committed the
negro to the chair last week II would
be impossible for the chicken liyered,
toy sentimentalists TO protect their
families and homes. They are the
kind of people who pirate of outlawry
and neglectful officials but are never
willing to assume their part Of the
burden of making life and happiness
sure for their neighbors.
We take off our hat to that last
jury and in doing so we believe that
we are saluting twelve of the best
men who ever occupied jury box il
LeTlore county-it's to such men thai
tho futIre looks for urOtectiOn an(
If we had our way we would bronze
their names on the corner stone o.
the first court house we build.

THERE Is DANGER

The Ardmoreite is not political
calamity howler 1t is Democratic
paper but it believes in telling the
truth about the political situation not
nationally alone, but in Oklahoma
also.
While The Ardmoreite worked hard
no paper in Oklahoma worked harder
TO bring about the nomination oil
Scott Ferris for the United states
senate, believing him to be The best
fitted man for the place, at the same
time it has never claimed that Ferris
nomination assured his election.
The Republicans Of Oklahoma know
that Ferris, or any other Democrat
can be defeated through the conspir-
acy of two things-the stay-at-home'
lethargic element in the Democrat
party, and the aggressive element IN
the Republican party
Knowing this, appreciating this the
Republicans of Oklahoma are up ana
doing. They have perfected an or
sanization which is well generated
and well drilled; they are going out
into the highways and byways, drum
ming up votes; they are harpins
uuon the cord of possible Democratic
dissatisfaction and discomfort and try
ing to stir up strife in the ranks o!
that party; they are making a drive
TO get out the full Republican woman
vote, while the Democrats are doing
What?
There is hothing to be gained
through q few OF those who rank with

Recruited from all professions, from
all lires of pursuit. from all walks Of

fellows who expect the honest busi-
ness man who pays for his space,
to pay enough to meet the overhead
incurred by the papers which will
accept and run the free dope of the
non-paying news" advertiser.
We have the fellow who has the
town-lot scheme, the fellow with the

Among the latest additions to our

In other words the space in this

honest, honorable Christian men and
