SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

In the last issue OF the Ardmore States
man, our Republican contemporary, will be
found two editorials from the pen of that
gifted editorial writer, Coy. T. Il. Gregory,
careful perusal Of which might be turned
into both food for thought, and an incentive
for action upon the part of the Democrats OF
Ardmore.
In the first editorial, under the caption
City Election Colonel Gregory points out
the great Importance which attaches to the
primary elections, the elections at Which the
dominant political parties will name their
candidates for the consideration of the voters
later or general election. In doing this the
editor of the Statesman calls attention to the
fact that it will be necessary to get the names
Of good and capable men and women upon
the ballots at the primary, otherwise they
cannot be nominated, nor can they be con-
sdered at the ensuaht general election.
Speaking in this connection the editor says,
most truly (after an endeavor to impress upon
his readers the necessity of nominating men,
or women who,. when elected, will be thor
oughly qualified to manage the business of
the city,, "As a general proposition men of
that class will not voluntarily offer themselves
as candidates. they must be called out Their
patriotism must be appealed to, and that in
no uncertain terms"
In his second editorial, as warning to
the Democrats of Ardmore, Colonel Gregory,
in urging the need Of business men to handle
the business of the city so that the interests
of the taxpayers may be best conserved, calls
attention to the fact that weak men on the
ticket may lead to the election of few more
of the erstwhle Oklahoma political impos-
sibilites," and cites, in substantation of this
statement that the voters in Ardmore last
fall, cast approximately double the normal
Republican vote, and less than two-thirds of
the normal Democrat vote.
Colonel Gregory closes his second editorial
with the sentence, "Ience we are warning
and urging the Democrats to put up names
of capable men as candidates.
The Ardmoreite cannot take issue with
the Statesman in this. The thinking men and
women, Republican or Democrat. cannot take
issue with him. His statements are clear eluci-
dations of fact, are honest expressions of
thought are straightforward enunciatons OF
truth.
The business of city government is 4 big
business. II is a business which requires the
care and attention and thought and acumen
Of the best business men, 1t is business

bigger than is any private institution, and
should have the guiding intellect of the most
successful as well as the most scrupulously
honorable men or women who can be found.
And, quoting from Colonel Gregory's edi-
torial, as read between the lines, it is up to
the people of Ardmore to secure such per-
sons to administer the affairs of the city, and
if they will not come out voluntarily, then
they must be called out Their patriotism
must be appealed to, and that in no uncer-
tain terms"

THE main purpose of the United

tiers which Japan believes might well
be excluded from discussion, are per-
fectly agreeable to this Government.
Attention was called to the fact that
the views expressed by the Japanese
government as to the desirability of
reaching a general agreement on Far
Eastern questions as a necessary pre-
lude to an agreement on limitation
of ornaments, Is entirely In accord
with the ideas of the Harding Admin
istration as stated in the official an
pouncement. concerning the proposed
conference. Everywhere there was
manifested an intention to take these
statements of Japan's policy at their
face value. with practically no dispo-
sition to speculate as to any possible
Interior motive in her reservations.
The only passage of the Japanese
memorandum to which even the most
Captious could take exception, 1t was
pointed out, is the last paragraph,
which states the belief of the jap
snese government that the agenda
should be so arranged as to facilitate
q general agreement on Far Eastern
policies, and that introduction there.

concern to certain particular powers
or such matters that may be regard
ed accomplished facts shouIi be scru-
puloulsy avoided"
In this connection, the Administra-
ton freely admits that there might be
questions in which, for example, only
China and Japan were interested. and
which might perfectly well be settled
by negotiations between those powers
rather than by discussion before an
international conference. II, however,
the question involved should he suf-
ficiently broad in scope TO involve
some general principle, as for example
the open door, II would then become
proper subject for consideration at
the Washington conference.
Likewise. II a matter is accepted by
all nations concerned as an accom-
plished fact, officials here can see no
objection II it's being excluded from the
agenda of the conference. 1t was
pointed out, however, that China has
not recognized Standings control by
Japan as an accomplished fact, nor
has the United States admitted the
zap mandate to that class.
While II Is admitted that a nation
which was out of harmony with the
spirit of the conferences might take sd-
vantage of these points to 'bs.ruct
the negotiations. the Administration Ia

should not be crossed until they are

The defense made plain its plan of

was discussed thoroughly.
Premier BRAND declared 1t was nee

this course.
Negotiations between the French
