THE CRIME WAVE

Much ado, and properly, is being
made by the metropolitan press over
a serious crime wave which appears
to be sweeping the country from
coast to coast.
While some Of these offenses are
major crimes. the larger part con-
sists Of petty holdups, robberies and
thefts.
Some editors find its explanation in
the backwash OF the Great War,
though the pink prophets of the war
period made much of the new age"
which the war was to usher in.
Others. who are eager for the fail
ure Of prohibition, seek to trace this
outbreak of crime to the closing Of
the saloon. We pity the mental
caliber ana moral capacity OF the man
who thinks immortality and crime
will diminish by the reopening OF the
saloon.
The more probable explanation Of
the widespread roguery in lowly places
is found in the colossal stealing in
high places.
The decent citizens Of the republic
have been driven TO unspeakable dis
gust by the revelations set forth by
congressional committees investigat.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-01-27

ing graft in governmental affairs,
such as the padding Of pay-rolls, brib
cries, dishonest contracts, and every
form Of crooked dealing which finds
entry in criminal dockets.
The disclosures of the abominable
building trades plunderings in New
York, involving capital and labor alike,
and which is no doubt merely a type
Of similar operations of crooks in
other cities, have shocked us into the
fear that our land Of the free and
home of the brave is the land of the
scot-free scoundrel and the home Of
the fearless thief.
All other scandals of dishonesty
pass into the pickpocket rank when
compared to the robberies of millions
and billions by men who have been
honored with great public trusts.
1t is mockery to imprison the juve-
nile bandits, and pass over the billion
dollar rogues.-The Christian Stand

THAT OIL FIELD ROAD

It has been some time since thc
last gabfest was held relative to the
road leading from Ardmore, via Lone
Grove, to the Hewitt, Wilson and
Healdton oil fields. We are informed
that the proper committees, working
with the county commissioners, are
still busy upon the proposition and
that, in the course of time we may
expect TO see some sort of a road
graded and finished
We sincerely trust that the ultimate
outcome Of all the smoke will be the
kindling Of a little fire, a fire which
will attract the attention of the fel-
lows who really do things and result
in giving Carter county a hard-surface
road over which heavy travel between
the oil field cities may be maintained
AS it is, although several years
have elapsed since the first oil well
was brought into production in Car
ter county, we still have roads lead.
ing to the great field which will
when rainy weather prevails, mirC
and bog down the shadow of any
buzzard which might have the temer-
ity to attempt flying over them.
In addition to the fact that the oil
field workers and operatives need
good roads, II may be urged, also
that some of the finest farming lands
in Oklahoma is to be found in the
territory which lies tributary to the
road which leads from Ardmore tc
Lone Grove, Hewitt, Wilson and
Healdton, and that the value of these
lands will be greatly enhanced through
the building Of a real hard-surfacC
road, as proposed.
Ardmore citizens have met with
the citizens Of the oil towns, and
have talked roads and argued roads
and done everything except builC
roads. 1t has been said Of Ardmore
that it has a citizenry which does
things. We trust that the early build.
ing OF the oil field road will bear
out this statement.

atrocity. 1t provided, among other
things, for the washing of the eyes

ton of nitrate Of silver, and set
many thousand Oklahoma children
might develop into blind grownups
unless this measure became a law.
Insidiously yelled and camouflaged
with and by a medley of medical
phrases and words, the bill was so
drafted that the average man, sena-
tor, representative, plain layman-
anyone save and except a doctor Of
medicine-could not read its state
ments without finding himself she'd
ding tears of pity for the countless
thousands of unborn Oklahoma kid

should come TO the rescue and enact

tors and other assistants TO travel
about and dope the blue and the
black and the gray and the green
eyes Of infancy with legitimitized
liquid hellfire.
Without wishing to start any sort
of an argument, we feel constrained
TO make the statement that it is more
than possible Oklahoma would have
more blind children, should the sore
eye" bill ultimately pass, blinded from
application OF the dope by ignorant
hands, than it ever will have should

ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN
REGULATION
(From Dallas NeWs)

tFrom Dallas NeWS)
The bill putting the meat-packing
industry under government control
through the familiar agency of an
appointive commission, which the SEN
ate has just passed. gets it's germnal
idea from the interstate commerce act
That was our first great adventure in
regulation, and this measure gets its
inspiration from the results of that
experiment. But although this kinship
subsia;s as between the two measures
industry is. and necessarily distinc-
tive enough TO be regarded as of q
new species. Nominaly a regulatory
measure, it puts the packing industry
under a police surveillance in that it
invests the three men who are TO
constitute the commission with a dis
cretionary power hardly less eX-
pans.vc and flexible than that which
q policeman exercises as ruler over
his beat. This bill was conceived in
;he notion that the packers have en-
larged the great power which the
nature of the business confecs on them
by adding to il the power OF combi-
nation, and used it to exploit both the
producers and consumers 0f meat. The
assumption is that although the pack
ers violate the antitrust law, hey
10 SO with impunity. for the reason
that their guilt can not be proved in
the way necessary to convict them
in the courts. Hence the demand that
they be put under surveillance and
ordering of three men who, while
charged with the execution Of the
rules prescribed by the act, are left
free to supplement dhem in almost
any way their sense of eNpedience
and justice may suggest. Thus the
packers are put under government Of
persons.
There can not be much doubt as to
TIE fate of this measure in the house.
In the senate the division was not
along the line of party cleavage, but
along the line of economic interest,
evidenced by the fact that it got
Ns majority from a coalition OF west

ern Republicans and southern Demo-
Gratis. That community Of interest is
more powerful in the house than in the
senate, which fact seems practically to
assure its passage through that body
by even larger majority, relatively,
than it received in the senate. The
experiment which the measure pro-
jects will be an interesting one, if it
may be assumed that it will ever be
put to the test, One has only to con-
slider the large opportunities it Of
fers for legal attack to see the likeli-
hood that the beginning Of the expert
ment will be long deferred if it shall
ever be made.
