ESTHER'S ADVICE
Chapter 16


The day after commencement. true

around In his little snub-nosed car
and took me out for drive | always
enjoyed auto riding. and / had done
little OF 1T, though most of the farm
ers about our way possessed mex
pensive machines.
But this was not pleasant ride.
Mark drove slowly and cautiously; a
moderately good horse would have
covered the ground faster.
There's been lot of changes since
| was here last" he remarked now
and then as we went along He point
ed out things that were different, the
new barns, the many factories, the
villages that had expanded into NINA
ture towns. He had a remarkab BILE
memory for small things.
He stopped in front of a leather fac
tory, one of the many shoe factories
that had come up in our part of the
state.
You wait here" he told me. and
went into the office And wait I did.
for an hour at least, staring ahead at
the most uninteresting group of cot
tages. He came out at last, and with
out word of apology for his delay.
he started the car along the road
home.
He never asked me where I wanted
TO go, or what I wanted to see!
Il thought you'd like to come with
me-" he remarked on the way back.
And ] had to drive over to see Cuth-
bert about some shoes he's wholesal-
ing. I'm thinking of taking up shoes
as side line he added. seeing an
exclamation was necessary. Got a
big grocery business, you know:

interested in any gossip might bring
her
ooh. yes. I'm a good business man,
a good business man." he said. with
a broad smile of satisfaction. His
profile looked curously inadequate
for the size of his face as ! glanced
at him. This is so often the case with
fat men-neck. cheeks and body out
grow the original pattern, so to speak,
and the general effect is the profile
of child OF four on the frame of
man of 40.

Editorial
of the Day
JUDGE TULSA SLOWLY.
From Okmulgee Times)

Tulsa has probably received black
eye and the country at large will ex-
press its Indignation at the occur
renee of Saturday night when an
alleged slayer was taken from the
county Jail and lynched.
Tulsans and those who know condi-
tions in Tulsa will be slow in express
ing themselves in regard to the
action of the mob. AS for the rest
OF the state, it is just as well 20
withhold judgment for the time be-
ing. 1t was Tulsa's affair and what
ever censure must come Tulsa must
accept without flinching for it was
an act of lawlessness which cannot
be condoned in any community. But
awlessness itself had run out OF
bounds in Tulsa. There seemed to be
no way of coping with it through
the ordained channels. The courts
have not always afforded the relief
that citizens had a right to expect and
there was the example Of q notorious
slayer from Tulsa county, freed on
a pardon, to urge the citizenship
against taking any chances on mis-
carriages of the law. Tulsa has been
through enough to tax the endurance
of its citizenship to the breaking
point And there certainly has been
nothing in the attitude Of state of
ficials toward criminals during the
past two years to hold out any hope
that fear of the law would eventually
bring relief. 1t might be well to look
behind the action Of the Tulsa moi
| before dealing out censure.
1t is not so very long ago that g
light penitentiary sentence dealt out
| in an Okmulgee county court caused
TO be erased from the books the record
of a near-tragedy, whose details rur
along lines very similar to that o.
the Tulsa tragedy which inspired citi
zens TO mob violence.
| The time for citizens to think about
these things is when they 60 tc

The Ardmoreite's
HOME FORUM
FROM A CENSUS ENUMERATOR

Dear Editor: | do not consider the
article which appeared in the Ard
morte when the returns from the
census bureau were received quite
just and | ask the privilege of stat
ing the facts as they appear to one
who helped take the census in the
city.
!, like the rest of Ardmores citi.
Zens. wish that we had q population
of twenty or twenty-five thousand
but the truth of the matter is that
We have not and no amount Of talk
ing will ever change the truth.
The enumerators who were selected
by the supervisor Of census to make
the count here in Ardmore were a
representative group Of citizens and
should have been, and I'm sure were
desirous Of making the enumeration
as accurate as possible. There were
two women in the group who had
taken an active part in the Red
Cross drives during the war and
were well acquainted with their dis
tricts.
The public were for the most
part courteous and willingly gave
the information solicited. What re-
luctance was manifested by house.
wives to give us admission to the
house was overcome as the count
progressed and was given publicity
by the newspapers.
The cooperation OF the business
men, though a little tardy helped
and a good many names We're Sc.
cured which would otherwise have
been missed. The supervisor OF cen.
sus gave the business mems com
mittee ample time TO thoroughly
re.canvas the city so the RESPONSE
bllity for this count doesn't lie with
the clerks Of the census bureau at
Washington but with the citizens
themselves.
When the difficulty Of looking up
working people who are not to be
found az the place Of residence dur.
ing the day is considered and 1t Is
remembered that people were moving
into the city all the time who were
not counted elsewhere, but who came
In here after the residence into which
they moved had been visited II will
be seen that even an intelligent and
conscientious enumerator might have
missed number OF people but II
each Of the eight missed one hundred
and twenty-five we would only be
short one thousand people and not
three, four or five thousand as some
OF our business men seem to believe.
Personally / do not believe any one
enumerator did his work so badly as
to have missed more than one hun
dred and twenty-five persons
We know that Ardmore has had
a gratifying increase in business ac-
uvity in the last ten years, but
Increased activity does not necessar'
ily mean increased numbers. An in
crease OF sixty-four and twotenths
per cent is not as gratifying TO our
pride as one hundred per cent would
have been but 1t is as near the facts
as we are likely TO get, so why not
admit the truth and be glad 1t is no
worse.
