LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY

Edith Johnson, Of the Daily Okla.
homan, seems to be displeased with
some of the jazz music Of this day
and time, stating that she prefers
the good old tunes and intimating
that she remembers when all the
youngsters We're whistling tLittIe
Annie Rooney"
Now, we can remember the same
event. But then we are a man and,
not caring three whoops and a hurrah
who knows how old we are, plead
guilty to having wandered about this
mundane sphere for over a half cen
tury. Also, we remember that we
were rather small and Of decidedly
immature years when annie Rooney
was thrilled from the pursed lips
of other youngsters.
Really We are surprised at Miss
Edith. Not surprised that she OBJ
jects to some of the senseless though
catchy songs of today, but surprised
that she will let her imagination
make her believe that she can re-
member away back yonder to the
days when Little Annie Rooney"
was young.
Why, folks, just 10 show you that
the versatile and talented lady writer
of the Oklahoman's editorial depart
ment, must be mistaken in thinking
that she can remember that far back,
We will state that Annie first began
running about the pavements Of our
larger cities only a few years after
Charley Ross wandered off, far away
from his ancestral home, and about
the same time that the little chap
began filing inquiries as 10 the iden-
tity Of the fellow who struck Billie
Patterson.
OF course a lively imagination is
one Of the essential things which an
editorial writer must have, own in
fee simple and control, but that
Imagination must not lead the owner
thereof. especially if she be woman,
to hypnotic himself-or herself-into
the beliefs that she can remember
when the talented writer of sacred
songs, penned the lines and composed
the music of Rock Of Ages Cleft
for Me-"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-08-27

inside OF thrty.six hours, it would
be impossible for them to do any
thing in six days.
And thus it is that the official
census returns show that Ardmcre
has total population of 141Sl, and
not $4,000, plus, as We have every
reason TO believe the correct figures
should show.
We are not knocking Ardmore,
Far from 1t. We still believe that
someone blundered, that someone
slept at the switch. that someone de-
pended on someone else at the wrong
time, that someone procrastinated
and that now al! Ardmore will pay
the piper.
Don't cuss your Chambev Of Com
merce for this. Just grin and take
your medicine. II may be a bitter
pill, but the doctor says to shake it
well and take a spoonful every time
you remember "of all the sad words
Of tongue or pen, the saddest are
these-'it might have been"

ONE TRUTHFUL MAN

George Evans. Of the Chickasha
Express, is one truthful man. The
truth is inborn in him and ne will,
unthoughtedly and without premedi-
tation, let it out-once in a while.
In a recent issue of his well pat.
ronized and more or less ably edited
paper, Editor Evans asserts that he
feels perfectly competent and well
qualified to give all the male citi.
zens Of Chickasha advice relative to
planting and cultivating fall gardens,
but that he does not feel physically
energetic enough TO buckle down and
plant a fall garden of his own.
Now, there are possibly many other
mon in Oklahoma who are perfectly
able and more than willing 10 tell
the fellow who lives over in the next
yard, just how TO raise fall lettuce
and onions and parsnips and cab.
bages and sauer kraut, and who is
shy on the physical energy required
to raise a garden Of his own, but
none Of US seem willing to emulate
the example George Evans has set
in emulating the example of George
Washington, and tell the truth.
Now, there is Walter Harrison. of
the Oklahoman, for instance. Do
you suppose that, with all his faults,
we could ever find him so truthful?
Or that other Harrison, the one who
writes with eloquent pen upon the
Ada News, do you for a moment be.
lieve we would ever be able to catch
him in perpetuating such a truth.
Or Willis Choate, of the Marietta
Monitor. Do any Of you who know
Willis personally and who are, there
fore, conversant with the amount Of
rest he can really stand, do any OF
you believe that he would be found
willing to acknowledge this truth?
