There is nothing to stimulate the

strayed from the fold, in the pros

leave the organization in the hands

Is it impossible to find in the party
any leaders who demand reorganiza-

gressive principles?
Is it too much to hope that some
where in the moribund mass of
Democracy there may be those who
will strive for such reorganization
as shall make the party an effective
defender of public and individual
rights, a foe to special privilege
and the spread of plutocracy!
With such a program pursued as
a party in opposition. the Democ-
racy may hope to secure public con-
fidence again in the near future But
no such policy may be expected
of it unless the right kind of re-
organization is effected and of that
there seems at present little promise.

NEPHEW OF ARDMORE
MEN CRITICALLY ILL
AT HOME IN SHAWNEE

Volney Jones, of Shawnee, who Is
nephew of Paul and Tweed Jones Of
this city, is in a critical condition at
his home as a result of an accident
which occurred recently at Shawnee.
The following concerning the acci-
dent, is taken from the Shawnee News;
Volney Jones, lineman with the
Shawnee Gas and Electric company,
was seriously, perhaps fatally injured
yCPterday morning when the po!e On
which he was working in the yard CT
the Harrison stree. SCHOOL, broke bear
ing him to the ground.
Mr.. Jones, who is twenty-three
years old, is the youngest son Of Mr..
and Mrs. V. V. Jones of 42S South
Pottinger street and brother Of
Dudley Jones, county engineer. When
the pole fell, young Jones was on
the underside. but though strapped to
the pole he had presence of mind
enough TO throw himself from be-
meath II and escaped being crushed,
but the impact when the pole nit the
ground was so great his upper teeth
were driven a quarter Of an inch into
the pole and the tip of his chin bone
made an indentation in the pole al
most as deep.
A remarkable thing about the &C.
cident is that the upper teeth which
were driven into the pole were not
broken, but the bloodstained imprint
Of each tooth can be plainly made out
The lower jaw is broken through at
the tip OF the chin where 1t was driv-
en- into the pole, and several Of the
lower teeth were knocked out. A num-
Der of severe cuts were sustained
about the face and head and the skull
is fractured at the base of the brain.
The patient was conscious much Of
the time yesterday and attending
physicians say that because Of his re-
markable constitution he may survive
but that his condition is very grave.

AND NOVA BUSINESS MAN.

Now that the dream of the people
OF Ardmore, those who want to see
a business handling of the city's af-
fairs, has been realized, now that the
managerial form of government pro
position has carried, it becomes in
cumbent upon those who have the
matter in charge to take, Immediately
necessary steps which will lead to
the selection Of real business man
TO serve the people as Ardmores bust
ness manager.
The argument advanced by those
who favored the managerial plan OF
government was, as all know, that
Ardmores financial interests demand
ed the services Of man who is an
expert in handling business matters
II was argued that the same high
class of man be put in charge Of the
city's business as would be chosen
by the board Of directors, and by the
stockholders Of a banking institution
or large mercantile Establishment. Be-
heving the points of this argument
well taken, the majority of the men
and women Of Ardmore rallied at the
polls Tuesday and the managerial
plan carried by large vote.
Those who were opposed to the
mopauarial Dlon opd uvbo fought the
measure to the last ditch, exerting
every resource and putting forth
every effort to defeat the plan, ar
gued that the past history of Ardmore
was such that We might reasonably
expect, should the proposition carry,
that the wheels within a wheel would
continue to revolve, that the master
wheel would be in control. that the
city manager who would be named
would be some chap who would fit
his cogs into the cogs Of the big
wheel, would turn when he turned,
would stop when he stopped, would,
in plain words. do just what the
ring" ordered
While, as u newspaper which is
close to the people of Ardmore, The
Ardmorete scouts the assertion that
ring" is in control of the affairs in
which the taxpayers of the city are
interested, at the same time we feel
justified in urging the need Of exer-
cising great care in the selection Of
the man who is to serve as the
chief Of our municipal business life,
as the head Of our municipal busi.
ness structure, the expert who Is to
untangle the snarl in which our muni-
cipal affairs now are, who is to put
Ardmore upon solid financial foot

which will enable them to repeal the
law of supply and demand and put
upon their products whatever prices
cupidity may dictate. Cooperative
marketing can not, of course. confer
any such absolute power as that. and
If it were capable of doing so, we
should have in that attribute an inn
perative reason for preventing it. Just
what may reasonably be expected
from the organization Of cooperative
marketing associations was expressed
admirably the other day by President
Bizzell of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College in addressing the
bankers and farmers during their con-
ference at that institution:
l am not one of those optimists
who think that you can suspend the
economic law of supply and demand
by the organization of producing
agencies. ] know that the prosperity
of farming, like any other business
enterprise, must adjust its production
to world requirements. 1t is at this
point that agricultural cooperation
finds its rightful place. But on the
other hand. we are likely to deceive
ourselves at times by assuming over
production when our difficulties are
traceable to wasteful systems OF dis
tribution and inadequate facilities for
marketing our products.
More than that can not be accom-
plished by any cooperative marketing
scheme. And more than that society
could not allow, even If it were pos
sible. The practicable and proper end
or cooperative marketing is not to an
null the law Of supply and demand, but
to facilitate its free working 1t does
not work freely now. There could be
no better proof of this than is sup
piled by the disparity between the
prices producers get and those con-
sumers are made to pay. When, for
example-although il may be an ex-
ceptional one in degree-cabbage sells
at $40 ton at Mercedes and s11C
a ton In interior cities of the State
less than 800 miles from Mercedes
we know that either the producer
or the consumer is being filched OF
the benefits of the law Of supply
and demand. For the one price is
a price which only overproduction
could sanction, whereas the other is
price which only underproduction
could sanction. Cabbage is selling al
overproduction prices at Mercedes and
at interpretation prices in Dallas
Which Of these prices is unnatural
may be questionable: but that one OF
the other of them is, is undeniable TIC
assure the prevalence Of natural
prices and to preclude unnatural ones
is the proper end of cooperative
marketing, and it can be made to
attain that end, If not always per
fectly, to a degree which will work to
the benefit Of both producers and con-
sumers-

tention as regards its road conditions
and agricultural advantages. was the
statement made by Dave Russell OF
Madill. member Of a committee which
made a stop-over in Ardmore on its
return to Marshall county from Okla
homa City. Mr.. Russell states that the
eastern part of the county. especially
that portion Immediately east Of Ard
more. holds most wonderful oppor'
tunityies for development Of small
farms. He emphasizes the fact that
it is an absolute necessity for the
establishment OF good roads to per,
NIT such development, and points out
that at the present time the roads
in the eastern part of the county are
in very poor condition, and in reality
are nothing more than dirt trails. II
is the desire of the citizens of Marshall
county, stated Mr.. Russell, that Car.

which is now being improved. and
which extends from Madill to the Car.
