PROHIBITION FORCES LOSE ONE
or THEIR LOCAL CHAMPIONS

The latest lobby story which appears
to come from competent authority is TO
the effect that one of the local Judges"
(title gained from past performances
who has always been u vOciferous
champion Of the prohibitory forces as
regards wet goods, has suddenly put
the soft pedal on dry prdpaganda anu
refuses TO speak on the subject any
longer. II is said that while at the post
office last Saturday night the Judge
while pulling his handkerchief from a
hip pocket unconsciously pulled with il
a glass container full Of blushing liquid.
The valuable bottle fell TO TN econctcte
floor and smashed With 4 silent curse
the Judge" kicked it to one side ana
beat hasty retreat. An observer who
happened To be- present picked up u
piece Of the glass and upon examination
Cf the label found that 1t had contained
"Tincture Of Ginger" TO this observei
who had been familiar with the Judges
expressed attitude toward liquor. the
sight of the label alone proved 10 be an
"eye-dpener,' ana actually make him
intoxicated with surprise.
DO as | say, not as do must be
the motto Of the Judge"

as that may be possible.
"The world has a false picture OF her
real character. An her family, or nearly
all, belong to the Christian church. In
her years in Ardmore she was often
an attendant. She was lurei from home
when very young upon the promise OF
legal marriage, under circumstances the
world does not yet know. She did not
condone her sin. She despised her
shame. She constantly hoped and yeain-
ed for the straight life. She was not
nromiscuous harlot She was true to one
man in every thought ana act. She lived
in ArdmOre SO quietly and dressed so
decently that few people knew her even
by sight. Painfully conscious Of her sin
and constantly embarrassed BY her DO
sitiOn she sought seclusion She read
constantly the best books and worked
hard to help create great fortune The
state tried hard to find proof Of un-
iaithfulness TO the one man. II was
not possible There is not q hard line
In her face or a coarse word in her vo-
cabulary. Neither has she Haunted vice
or sordidness in any way She has not
hought publicity. Witness her flight
INTO Old Mexico. Her diary? That was
written to b. published after her death
a a lesson ana warning to others. It
was stolen from her trunk in Kansas
City and published without her consent
and much against her wishes. Had it
not been for this publication Hamon's
statement OF the manner of the acci-
dent would never have been corrected
and She would never have reappeared.
NO one can talk five minutes with
her now without believing in her sin
ccrity. The public can depend upon her
TO keep the straight path and spend the
remainder Of her life in doing all the
good she can, especially in warning
young girls against the folly, Sin and
danger or the primrose path.
THE outside worlt does not under
stand Ardmore's attitude towards the
girl because il does not understand her
nor does il comprehend all the circum-
stances Of her strange life. The First
Christian church welcomed her with

GIDEONS WILL
PLACE BIBLES In
HOTELS OF CITY

c. w. Clay OF Ardmore. county sur
veyor Of Carter County, has received
communication from the "Gideons."
a branch of the Christian Commercial
Travellers association OF America, re-
questing that he mail them a list OF
the names Of the Ardmore hotels IN
order that bibles may be placed by the
organization in guests rooms Of the
local Institutions. The letter was written
by A. b. Z. Moore, national secretary
Of the organization, and states that in
vestgation has revealed to him the fact
that no hotels in Ardmore have the holy
hooks. Mr.. Moore also writes that during
the trial Of Clara Smith Hamon he read
in a Chicago daily paper the news that
There was never a bible in Jake
lannon's room, etc" and inquiries the
name Of the hotel in which Mr. Hamon
had his rooms.
The "Gideons" are an organization
which has for its chief purpose the
placing Of bibles in guests rooms Of no
tells throughout the world.
Mr.. Clay states that he believes he is
the only member of the organizauo don in
this city.

Or. Crayton ). Brooks, pastor OF First
Christian church has issued the follow
ing statement relative to various reports
which have been sent out from Ardmore
concerning the baptism of Clara Smith
Hamon at his church sunday night
March 20.
Newspaper clippings and letters
from many states indicate the pubica-
tion and circulation Of many errors and
false impressions with respect to the
religious step recently taken by Clara
Smith Hamon. Ministers, laymen and
editors from all over the United States
are writing me for the truth.
Absent and Imaginative reporters
have pictured her as baptized from a
bowl" indicating sprinkling as the
mode" employed. It is, or ought to be-
we'll known that the Christian church
knows only one baptism, which the
| Apostle Paul calls u burial" Sne was
immersed as Jesus was immersed
"The First Christian church is de-
serted as giving her reception" on
the night following her baptism The
only foundation for this was the fact
that in service conducted by Mrs.
Jennie Sharples, field secretary Of the
| Worlds Purity Federation Clara Smith
| Hamon, by the request Of the speaker
and the minister, read a poem, MY
| Brothers Keeper" However. I can see
no especial improperly in giving her
reception, remembering the party
/ given 10 the Prodigal Son, by his father
on his return from sin and the state
ment from Jesus that there is Joy
among the angels in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth.'
Her conversion was no sudden turn
TO the soul. Proof is in her diary. she
writes Of being at church and having a
great longing for pardon and the chris
| tian life. She was in a net from which
she seemed poweress 10 eXtricate her-
SELF. She had been in this trap 50 long.
| She earnestly desired TO confess her sins
and ner faith publicly and receive
! Christian baptism weeks ago, but would
not until her acquittal by the jury, lest
her motive might be questioned or mis-
| understood. She gave to representatives
OF The church the most satisfactory eyi-
