Why Berry can fit all
Men in Clothes
Only regular sizes were
made in Clothing up to 1875.
Is not the man who cut
the first "stout" suit to fit
Shakespeare's "Justice with
fair round belly" in the
"Seven Ages of Man" en-
titled to a prominent place
in the Hall Of Fame?
A few years ago manufac-
turers thought it only neces-
sary to change models every
few years.
Now, with the wonderful
progress made in Clothing,
the Berry System of produc-
ton has provided fifteen to
seventeen different models
for each season-which are
constantly being changed
and improved upon.
These include regulars"
"stouts," ..1ongs," Shorts"
"cadet," "stubs,' Short
stouts" and 'Flong-stouts."
If you come in any of
these classes, here's your fit.

Remember, our margin of
profit is figured lower than
ever this spring. That
means even greater values

REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA

Scott Ferris and his support
ers are now realizing the mistake
they made when they called all
Of the Gore supporters bolsheviks
and disloyalists. They are now
frantically calling upon the Gore
supporters to rally to the stand
ard of Scott realizing that with
out their support the race this
fall is lost. 1t is remarkable how
they are making love to the Gore
supporters while a few weeks
ago they were denouncing them
as pro-Germans and enemies Of
the flag.-Chickasha Star.
There is q fair sample of the pro-
paganda which the Republican press
Of Oklahoma is spreading in an effort
TO poison the mind Of every Demo-
crat who voted for Senator Gore in
the recent primary election.
The Chickasha Star, professed
independent" paper, is owned and its
editorial politics controlled by Jesse
-. Kayser, 4 stalwart of the stall
.9rts, who is the Republican MEM
hcr of the Oklahoma state board Of
affairs and who would rather swal-
low Harreld, Berger vote and all,
than to see Oklahoma represented in
the national senate by man whose
political history is above reproach.
We have no quarrel with Editor
kayser. In fact he was at one time
one Of our warmest personal friends.
But We cannot understand how even
Republican editor will willingly
pen words which, combined, make
such a marked mis-statement of facts
The Chickasha Star is paper Of
broad circulation in the county in
which 1t is published We doubt II
there is home in Grady county, OF
which Chickasha is the seat of gov
ernment, in which the Star will no.
be found. This being true, coupled
with the fact that the Star poses as
an independent paper, politically, and
added TO the further fact that Grady
Is a heavily Democratic county, ,it
may readily be seen that the state
ment quoted from the Star, is not
only a mis-statement, but is also an
intentional mis-statement, a mis-state-
ment, made with the palpably evident
purpose Of causing dissatisfaction
among the Democratic voters who
may read IT,
The Ardmoreite was one Of the !
heartiest supporters OF Scott Ferris |
in the race in which he defeated Tom |
Gore. Perhaps there was not another
paper in all Oklahoma which fought
harder to bring about the nomination
OF Ferris, or which fought Gore more
bitterly. But the Ardmoreite, like
every other Democratic newspaper in
Oklahoma, acknowledged from the !

Editorial
OF the Day
THE ECHO ANSWERS, WHY?
(From Ada News)

(FrOm Ada NeWS)
The American people were frankly
puzzled when Republican congress
failed to enact any relief legislation
for the American soldiers They were
still more puzzled when the Chicago
platform ignored the sacrifices of the
world war and failed to mark the pur-
poses that impelled us as a nation
TO enter that cyc'opian struggle.
But some light may be thrown on
Republican silence and Republican in
action by a story published June II,
1915 in the daily press OF the coun-
try On that day ard date Louis
Brandt. secretary Of the German
American Alliance Of Illinois, declared
in pubic statement that the alliance
had celebrated its first participation
in politics by securing the nom ma
Jion Of Chas. L, Hughes, who had
been nominated by the Republican
convention the day before. and tha,
letters were already being set out
asking three million German-Ameri- F,
cans to vote for Mr.. Hughes.
Three million German voters would !
represent mere than 20 per cent OF the |
strength. The Republican !
leaders rs calculating politicians would |
not dare risk disaffecting so large p
portion Of the Republican rank and |
file Those leaders had and yet have |
nm incentive to play 30 the prejudice
and interest Of their German allies.
There was po;en. political reason
for their opposing the vigorous prose-
cution Of war plans and their failure
to enact legislation for needy soldiers
The same reason might explain their
silence concerning our war IDEAS when
writing their national platform.
In this connection it is interesting

start believed from the start clear
through the campaign that many
straight Democrats were supporters of
Gore.
The Democrat papers Of Oklahoma
in opposing the blind mans renomi-
nation, did impugn Cores American
ism and attack his war record but
the Democratic papers Of Oklahoma,
at no time, attacked the personal sup
porters Of the blind man (many OF
whom had always supported him,
actuated by sympathetic feelings) who
came from the rank and file of the
Democratic party.
Republican papers and Republican
politicians, like the Republican editor
Of the Star, We're called down by the
Democratic papers, because the Demo
cratic editors of Oklahoma knew that
the 'stalwarts" were actuated, in their
support of Gore, not by an honest
and true desire 10 see Gore returned
TO the United States senate. but by
a wish to see him renominated be-
cause they believed he would be the
most easily defeated.
We do not seek to minimize the
danger Of Harreld as political
enemy; We recognize the fact that he
is shrewd politician, backed by n
perfectly organized party which has
editors who are exerting every effort
TO create dissatisfaction in the Demo- |
cratic ranks through sowing broad |
cast propaganda similar to the bunch |
Of Misrepresentation being sown by |
The Chickasha Star.
Editor Kayser is a smart man; he
Is shrewd man; he has made a
mark for himself in this great new
state, and he is a fair man in all
where the defeat of n
Democrat is desired by the Republi-
ans.

AMERICAS CHILDREN

Charles Aubery Eaton, thc able
editor of Leslies Weekly. SETS forth
The Nations Greatest Asset, in q re-
cent editorial, and names that asset
as its children.
American children are the fintes;
american children are thefnest
in the world. OF course It is normal
for parents to discern in their own
offspring, virtues and beauties not
visible TO the unenlightened eyes OF
the neighbors. But making due al
lowance for family pride, 1t must be
admitted that the children of this
fair land cannot be surpassed in
natural endowments OF beauty, en-
ergy and vital force.
whether /; be the multitudnous
youngsters swarming the narrow
streets OF the foreign sections in our
cities, or the blue-blooded heirs to
countries Of American culture. Ameri-
can born children seem to start the
race Of life with n will to win, ana
endowed with qualities OF initiative
and courage which constitute the raw
material for worthwhile achievements.
The greatest Of all duties Is the
duty Of giving the children fair
start in life. They are the hope Of
the nation. Every true-hearted par
ent wants his child TO have better
chance than he had. In progressive
society unless a boy Is better than
his father he is not as good as his
father. What, then, is America do
