FOREST FIRES

While the number Of small fires has
tended to keep the local Forest Service
on edge and jumping sideways at the
least sign or smell of smoke, they are
nevertheless optimistic over the pros
poets of a favorable fire season. At
least they heave great signs of relief
when they look back upon the years of
1910 and 1912 which can never be eras-
ed from The memory of those who help
ed in the almost hopeless efforts to
chain the demon Fire those two sum
mers. Although they knock wood"
when they even dare to think il, the
general feeling is that their weel or

with 81 reasonably favorable fire sea

walton of orr timber resources this
summer
The first note Of danger this sum
r1cr was sounded by the hu-ler in

one gratifying element in the pres

are hoping that they will be the only

BRING ON YOUR WOODEN SHOES

TT comes to public notice that the wooden
l. shoe, as a solution for a part of the high
cost of living, is again attempting to break
into the limelight.
Of course the wooden shoe has its draw.
backs. 1t is not handsome bird nor is il
an article of footwear which may be said
to be calculated to make the pedal extremi-
ties of the wearers look Enthusiastically and en-.
trancingy Cinderella-like and petite.
But, on the other hand, the wooden shoe
has its good points, chief among which may
be noted its economy in original cost. Also,
its wearing qualities and consequent non
necessity of expense for half soles makes
another good feature, scores another knock
out in its favor.
A stick of cordwood, handsaw, gouge-
chisel, unlimited patience and determina-
ton to beat the high cost of living will en-
able anyone to become his own shoemaker, in
the wooden shoe line.
The wooden shoe is noisy piece of ma
chinery which cannot be operated without
advising all who live in the same neighbor-
hood of your approach. AS shoe to be
worn when you wish to slip quietly into the
house without awaking your better half-or
as the case may be-the
wooden article is not a rubber-soled success.
But, as full-fledged antagonist of present
shoe prices, it is all that may be claimed for
it.
So, unless we note seventy-five per cent
reduction in the leather article, even as Pat
rick Henry cried for "liberty or DEATH" so
will we cry, Bring on the wooden shoe!"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-05-23

OF all kinds advanced, in leaps and bounds,
until the back-breaking stage was reached.
Now the reaction has come and the consum-
ers must personally see to it that this reaction
from abnormal prices does not become radio
ally subnormal.
1t is to be hoped that prices will never
again reach the low-water stage chronicled
during the first few years which followed
the 1907 panic. Abnormal prices spell hard
ship for the many, subnormal prices spell
ruin for many more.
All the laws in the land may be called
into action but they cannot be construed or
enforced so as to totally eliminate the price
pirate, unless the public at large, the buying
public will do its part through mixing pro-
portionate doses of economy and common
sense.
1t is not necessary for one to adopt fads
and follow fancies in this; it is not necessary
for one to wear overals and cotton breeches,
but it is necessary for all to practice sensible
economy and buy good material which sells
at reasonable figures.
The SIS silk shirt is fad, craze and a
mark of extravaganza. So, also, is the $40
per pair shoes. The man who wears such
articles just because they are stylish and fad
dish and expensive, marks himself as a
waistrel and ne'er-do-well, no matter how
good his salary, no matter how large his
income.
The reaction is at hand the retreat of the
armies of eXtortion and profiteering has be-
gun. The reaction must not go too far the
retreat must not be pushed into rout. The
thinking people must sign an armistice.
Common sense and economy must prevail.

Lesson from Tennessee.

When Tennessee went Republican il
came near making complete Job of
IL. 1t went for Harding by more
than $4,000; chose Taylor, a Repub-
ilcan. as governor, and elected five
Republicans, out of state delegation
OF ten, to congress. And this is the
state of Andrew Jackson. 1t should
be SOLDERING to the Democrats of
tennessee to understand that Tenes-
see went Republican, not because of
the Harding landslide, but because
the Democratic party in that state
forfeited its principles and trafficked
with expediency. The Democratic
party, the party of the constitution.
broke away from its principles to
urge representative officers to forget
the oath they had taken. These
misguided Democrats betrayed their
trust in the vain hope that by so
doing they could help the Democratic
party win the nation by the women's
vote. Now the nation was lost to the
party in Democratic landslide and

The Crime of Being President

Louisville Courier-Journal- After
eight years of most exacting labor
Woodrow Wilson sits broken and
weary IN he White House, his work
reViled and his character subjected
TO the most venomous attacks. Is it
after all a crime to be president?
The evidence indicates that it is.
The man who was elected yesterday
promptly as he takes the Inaugural
ton oath, will become a maligned and
despised figure.
The history of the presidents of the
United States testiies to the start
ling conclusion that in the eyes of
contemporaries the president is al
ways a contemplate man, more sim
ming than sinned against.
The men who have reached what
should be the pinnacle of honor have
ALWAYS been condemned and excori-
ated in the bitterest fashion. Their
lives have been the food and drink
of scandal-mongers; their motives in
performing their duties have been
suspected.
Washington, revered as the father
OF our country, was the target of the
most scurrilous attacks. Lincoln
loved of all men in 1920, was fiend
in 1865. Scorned by his own cabinet
branded as a traitor and an autocrat
he was finally murdered by IAN
avenger of the people"
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, i'm
pecable in its English and lofty in its
sentiment, was termed by a newspa-
per of that time a partisan political
preachment.
The daily life of a president is that
of slave goaded by lash. He is
sought by thousands upon thousands
Eof ofiice-hunters, hangers-on, curious
ones, cranks. Upon his shoulders is
