TOOLS OF DEMOCRACY
Is TALK BY DIR. DIXON
TONIGHT, CHAUTAUQUA

DR.. Frank Dixon. the eminent Am
erican lecturer, win give the address
tonight at the Chautauqua, in the big
tent on the Masonic lot corner Broad
way and streets, northwest.
Union vesper services will be held
NJ Broadway Methodist church from Z
to O'Clock, the congregation to be
dismissed in sufficient time to attend
the evening Chautauqua program, which
begins at S15 o'clock.
Dr. Dixon holds an enviable reputa-
tion on the American platform The
| following taken from the leaflet CON
corning the Chautauqua tells Of him:
Frank Dixon is never fogotten. He
is one OF the few men who strives
more to make his audience think than
to give them things they like to hear
or already believe.
Frank Dixon is not especially In
torcsted in knowing whether you liked
or enjoyed his speech. He Is particu-
larly pleased in spurring you to thought
ana action on questions that have been
decided and which are timely and
~.
The Indispensable Tools of Demo
cracy' Is no pink tea lecture. DIR. Dix.
on has been likened to surgeon who
inflicts some pain on his patient for
his ultimate good. There are few men
In the country today who think with
the precision and clarity of Dixon or
who can express their thoughts in the
same manner.
mo one forgets Frank Dixon. If
you have heard him you will be there
to hear this new lecture. If you have
not heard him you have q profitable
hour in store.
In addition to DR.. Dixon's address a
program will be given by the Agnes
knofleckova Company, of which Agnes
knofleckova, violinist Is the star. These
musicians have scored splendid sue
cess throughout the entire country
and their program is something for
music lovers to look forward to.
The knofleckova Company also gives
program this afternoon at o'clock.
The attendance at the Chautauqua
continues to grow with each program.
At the initial performance Friday af-
/ ternoon the attendance was unusually
large, for the opening program.
/ Charles II. Plattenburg delivered a
splendid address Friday night on civic
duty. His creed is, that civic duty is
\ just as important as fillal duty and
from his talk an added impetus was
given to the already highly developed
civic pride Of Ardmore people.
Henry A. Adrian's address last night
was also especially pleasing A per-
sonal friend for years OF Luther Bur
bank, Mr.. Adrian gave many facts OF
interest concerning vegetables and
flowers and trees, and new fruits that
answer to Burbank's touch as only one
associated with the great naturalist

sion to have Carter county appoint
two special enforcement officers for
the collection Of automobile license
fees due before the end Of this fiscal

would confer with Sheriff Buck Gar
rett Monday or Tuesday, when the
sheriff returns from Kansas. TO have
some Of the deputies act as enforce

other plan satisfactory TO the sheriffs $
office.
"If anything Is done along thesc
lines, it should be done in harmony
with the sheriff's Office Mr.. Taylor
explained. "And If we are to appoint
any special officers, they must be
approved Of by the sheriff so that by
no chance can some unrestrained or
otherwise inexperienced officer cause

that the United States permitted

They were imprisoned in filthy dun

Colonel George Harvey, our am

has been denounced for saying too
much and for. saying too little. But
those who have kept tab on his pro-
cedure while representing. the United

praise for him. When he speaks at
the assemblies of diplomats his say

NEWSPAPER OWNERSHIP.

A representative of a cooperative
newspaper, who addressed an audience
at the West Branch creamery picnic
Sunday afternoon, advanced some
rather unusual theories concerning
the ownership of newspapers. He
took the Minneapolis Journal and
Tribune as examples of the privately
owned newspapers. These dallies are,
of course, not exactly in his class, but
we Judge that he considers his re-
marks applicable to the smaller pa
pers also, as the privatel ly owned coun-
trv wccklics. The trend Of his argu-
ment was that the cooperative news
paper is more independent, is free
from the influence Of big business in
tercsts that generally control the pa
pers owned by single individuals.
We admit the speaker has had some
experience in the matter of neWspa-
per ownership. He has tried both sys-
tens and is undoubtedly speaking
from personal experience. About
three wears ago he sold his paper,
which apparently was not operating
on a satisfactory basis, and now ne
has some 400 or 500 stockholders tC
foot the bills. We maintain that any
man who has not the brains, back
bone or some otEer essential charac
tcristic to conduct a modest slZec
newspaper in a town of less thar
1000 inhabitants, which is the center
of a farming community, without be-
ing pushed to the wall by big busi
ness,' is a mighty poor excuse OF
publisher. If he hes not the ab.lit!
to cope with the situation or the cour
age to take an independent stan
against any pressure that Nigh
be brought to bear on hin
by outsiders who attempt t
dictate the policies of his paper, h
certainly acted wisely whom he ducke
the job and shifted the responsibllit
on group of stockholders. He is COZ
rect n cominH 20 the conclucion tha
independent newspaper work is nc
for such as he. Fortunately the mf
jority Of publishers in Minnesota al
not of his calibcr.
During the past three years quite
crop of cooperative newspapers hi
sprung up in Minnesota and toda
they are going out Of business one
one, because in the majority Of cas
the editors who have been hired
conduct them are third rate men wi

eign relations, and is now member OF
the two latter, which gives him the
opportunity to render inestimable SER
vice to Minnesota.
It was largely through his efforts
that the farmers of the northwest and
Of the whole country received a higher
price for their wheat during the war
epoch than the Wilson administration
proposed to accord them. He was op-
posed to the government fixing the
price, but when that was determined
on he made a successful fight for high
er prices. He stated that he did not
think the prices we're as high as the
world market justified but he did sue
ceed in getting more for the farmers
than the administration was inclined
to grant. He has taken a leading
part in legislation beneftting agricul-
ture-the emergency tariff bill con-
trolling boards Of trade and cxchang-
es, the biH-authorizing the war finance
exchange corporation to finance agrl.
culture products in domestic and for.
eign commerce, and many other mat
ters. 1t was Senator Kellogg who Of
fered a substitute to the Norris bill
which is generally admitted to be fail
and more effective-and it is known
that the Norris bill could not have
been passed. This is only some O:
the important measures he has cham
pioned.

The five years in which Senator
Kellogg has served are the most i'm

extraordinary conditions to meet, and
many are still in the process of solu-

The United States needs men Wno
can increase the number of bushels OF
wheat to the acre, develop our water
power, preserve our forests, carry our
manufactures to the markets overseas,
establish credits and build up sound
and enduring structure of finance
which can withstand the strain OF
universal war, famine and revolution
But it needs ideas as much as it needs
corn or cattle or ships, and needs
ideals more then it needs IDEAS. The
ideals that it needs, however, must
be of the kind that can be trans
planted into reality.

It is clearly apparent that govern
ment by understanding has super
seeded government by dictatiCn. Pres
ident Harding, while lacking nothing
in personal forcefulncss, is inclined
by nature to consult with other men
who arc entitled to share in the de-
termination of public tissues. He has
no desire to be an autocrat and does
not seek to take a selfish advantage
because great privileges are invested
in him.
