COMPROMISE WITH SHERMAN JONES

IN case OF doubt choose the safe road and you
will always arrive at your destination
Just as individuals come to the forks of the road
where choice between roads must be made SO do
cities.
This city has to the forks OF the road now
and one or the other must be chosen.
Negotiations begun some three years ago
with Sherman loines to obtain from his lands a
supply OF water for this city.
Ardmore has outgrown its old city reservoir and
larger source is being sought That larger source
has been found in the Arbuckle mountains north Of
Woodrord on property the majority OF which belongs
to Sherman Joines
The former administration made an agreement with
Mr.. ONES but that verbal agreement COM
pleted and made contract
The present administration has not been able to
close deal with Mr. JONES and matters have
grown until the courts have been resorted to-.
Whether Ardmore can take the property by con-
demnaon or not is open question.
There are lawyers on both sides of the case. Each
lawyer has pile of authorities on his side. When
these authorities presented to the court what
course is the court going pursue? After the lower
court has passed the matter what is the supreme
court going to do?
No man knows.
That's the reason why there is doubt before the
people. They do not know just what they can and
what they cannot do and it will be many months be-
fore they can know ii the stays in the courts.
The amount involved is SO small when the bene-
fits considered that it does seem right that May
or Hener and Mr. JONES could get together and
come to an agreement that would be fair to Mr..
JONES and just to the city.
Let's take the case out of court. get together as
real men and settle it in a manner that is fair and
Just and generous to all parties concerned.

THE HIGH STANDING OF
THE FOURTH ESTATE

A UNIQUE tribute to the press was
contained in the report made to
the war department by Brig. Gen. II.
H. Bandholtz, to whom was en-,
trusted the pacification Of the coal
mining counties Of West Virginia. As
the climax To his recital Of the cir
cumstances which led him to believe
there would be no further disorder.
and in support Of his recommended
ton that martial law be not declared,
be said:
Many newspaper correspondents
are leaving. which would seem to in
dicate that they consider the situa'
ton no longer menacing."
1t is far cry from Kitchner, who
contemporary included the correspond
ents in an order sending all camp
followers to the rear, TO Bandholtz.
who as the general in supreme com.
mand makes known his reliance upon
the good Judgment of tine representa-
tives Of the press in the most serious
situation which has arisen in this
country since the Civil War. But the
world has advanced in the last few
decades and the press has been out
in the forefront Of the procession OF
progress showing the way to others.
The statement Of Bandholtz was
more than a tribute, which might
easily amount to nothing more than q
compliment or a mere bouquet. II
was an acknowledgment of the
breadth Of observation, ability for
making deductions, precision OF in
terpretation and absolute reliability OF
the modern newspaper man. 1t con-
stituted formal recognition OF the
high standing of the Fourth Estate,
