DEMOCRATS OF ARDMORE
TAKE YOUR CHOICE

Pursuant to the editorial OF Colonel
Gregory in last weeks Statesman,
want to call attention of the unter-
rified Democracy OF Ardmore that it
Is about time for them to get busy.
Below are a few suggestions for can
didates for mayor:

other good, live Democrats, who would
grace the mayors chair with a great

Any one of the above named men or

private affairs for the short term of
years and help TO revise the charter,
get a bountiful supply Of water, and
put our municipal affairs in tip top

Now, its clearly up to the demo-

take over Ardmore Ike they took

Now, don't let any one get hurt

Editorial
of the Day
THE HONEST NEWSPAPER

The newspaper is today the greatest
educator and the greatest disseminator
of information in the world. People
depend upon the newspapers they read
for information. 1t is the duty of the
newspaper IN give it to them and it
is the duty Of the newspaper not to
mislead its readers. Any newspaper
that wilfuLy does so is not worthy
the continued support Of its readers.
| They ought TO read a newspaper that
does its level best 10 give informa-
tion as nearly correct as it is possible
for a newspaper to make it in the
hurry and speed required in making a
daily newspaper.
The Times-Democrat regrets to see
a tendency on the part of some news
papers to get away from this prin-
| ciple. We regrst it because one such
newspaper gives bad name to others
just as one black sheep in flock.
This tendency is becoming more and
more manifest in the heads on news
articles Of offending newspapers. The
man who makes a newspaper knows
that there is n a very large number
of people, always in a hurry, who
read little outside the headlines. There
fore some newspapers feel that it is
up to them 10 write heads that will
cause people to read them and in order
TO do that they disregard the facts
in the story. The newspaper that
puts a head on story that does
r.a l,, d.,
is misleading every one of its readers
who read the head and do not read
the story.
1t is a fashion, or habit, with some
newspapers to make n positive state
ment that something has occurred, in
glarng headlines, and then when one
reads all the story finds that il may
happen, but that so far IL has not. The
man or woman who has read the head
has of course been misinformed, but
probably does not know 1t The hon
est newspaper is honest with its read
ers, with It's heads and with its in
formation. II does not try TO sacri-
flee facts merely TO get headline to
catch unsuspectiny readers. The
Times-Democrat would consider itself
crimnally negligent If 1t day after day
deliberately wrote any part OF the
paper that would wilfully mlslead its
readers as TO facts.
The tendency OF reporters is TO jazz
up their stories and Of head writer's to
pep up the heads to make them snap
pier and more entertaining. That
Is good newspaper work. But when
truth is sacrificed for Jazz and ac-
curacy for pep. the newspaper is not
entitled TO loyalty of It's readers and
will not long retain II.
When a person buys a newspaper he
is entitled to fairly accurate informa-
lion instead OF education. After being
stung a few times by one newspaper
he naturally gets the impression tha.
all other papers may be the same
way. But take hope, dear reader. for
they are not.

MISS ROBERTSON AND
BLUE LAWS

Although she is devout church
member, Miss Robertson. elected 10
congress from the Muskogee district,
declares that she is opposed to Blue
Laws. This pious woman, who has
asserted that she prayed her way
into congress-" says she doesn't even
ride on a railroad on Sunday and
has always been accustomed TO OBJ
serve Sunday as day OF rest and
worship but she doesn't think it
right to attempt to impose upon other
people her own peculiar ideas on the
subject. She is frankly Skeptical Of
the success OF any movement 10
make people pious by legislation and
doesn't believe that the principle
upon which Blue Laws are based is
sound. In view Of the current wave
Of agitation in favor of Blue Laws,
the attitude Of Miss Robertson is a
decidedly interesting contribution to
the discussion OF the question.

M0ULDERS OF OPINION

In the selection of a jury in New
York to try an important case, one
prospective juror in answering the
interrogatories of counsel, stated that
he seldom if ever read more than the
headlines in the stores Of current
happenings, but said he read the edi-
torials carefully and was guided by
them, to a great extent in forming
his individual opinions.
The statement of this man, given
after careful thought, should serve
a two-fold purpose. First, it should
convince the thoughtless that the
newspaper, judged by its editorial
page, is real moulder of opinion,
and, second, it should cause every
editorial writer in the country, realiz-
ing this, to put forth his utmost en-
dcavors in making his editorial page
something really worth while, a
page which will serve as a guidepost
for the enlightenment OF every reader
Of his paper.
The influence of the newspaper is
more universally recognized today than
ever before in the history Of the
press. One Of the great lessons
taught during the late World War
was that publicity was the essential
of success, while the editorial stand
taken by the law-abiding thought ex-
FOUNDERS Of the nation accomplished
the all but impossible in reducing
disloyalty TO the minimum and in
putting across the War Liberty Loan
drives, the Red Cross Drives and the
Saving Stamp Drives.
The lesson learned during the war,
the fact elucidated that the editorials
of good American writer's are pulse
throbs Of the American citlzenry,
should enstamp itself In the minds and
consciences OF every editor in the ma
tion and lead each one OF these to
put forth his best efforts In the pro-
mitigation Of uplifting sentiments. In
other words the editor should make
his page the means of spreading a
clean propaganda which will be for
the general good which will be en-
obling in its teachings. progressive in
its doctrines and honorable in its in
tentions
