directorate OF the Chamber Of Com

branch OF the profession. Saturday

And by the "Ardmore spirit" We
mean that great something which
has caused this town to evolve from
the crossroads hamlet OF quar-
ter OF century ago. into the busy.
hustling city it is today the city
teeming with life, with business. with
development 1t Is that spirit which
shows Ardmore TO be a progressive
city, with a citizenship composed Of
dynamic individuals each one loyal

shown by the manner in which the

New Orleans, responded to the invi-
tation Of the Chamber OF Commerce
and turned out to give the Ardmore
people the hand Of goodfellowship
and TO speak words Of praise and
commendation for both the city and
the good people who make up the
personnel of the city's private and
business life.
These visitors, newspaper men who
serve the people through the medium
Of the big news dispensaries and in
the big metropolitan dailies, recog-
nize Ardmore as a city which has
become a real news center, not a news
center from which eminates scandals
and other brands Of illegitimate news,
but news center from which comes
stories Of progress and civic develop
ment, news center which is the
home Of the greatest oil development
in all this great oil section-the
southwest.
On behalf Of Ardmore, The Ard
moreite thanks the visiting news
paper boys for the manner in which
they expressed their real sentiments
of appreciation Of Ardmore as city,
and of Ardmore people as citizen
ship of q city of real worth on
behalf Of the city of Ardmore and of
the people of Ardmore, The Ardmor-
cite wishes to convey to these press
boys a word of appreciation for the
fair, clean, honest, honorable, up
right, truthful manner in which the
most Of them have told the story of
Ardmore, the Queen City of Southern
Oklahoma.
And speaking for the fraternity,
The Ardmoreite feels that it can ex-
press to the Chamber Of Commerce,
its directorate, its officers and it's
personnel, words Of appreciation for
the manner in which the knights of
the typewriters were welcomed, en-
tertained and made to feel, TO un-
derstand, to appreciate the worth Of
Ardmore, the value of Ardmorefs
business to the financial world, the
progress of Ardmore and the hearty
fraternity which the people Of Ard
more feel to those who come here
from abroad.

vile, and as wise man once said,
He was at a loss to know why anyone
ever left Gainesville Ghis was said
in goodbye speech made at the time
Col. Frank Sherwood announced that
he, too, was going to Ardnore) The
speaker referred to the fact that If
every man who had left Gainesville
to go to Ardmore and elsewhere should
return, that Gainesville w0lld be-

VOTE TOMORROW.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, March Is. is
the date Of the primary election, the
day upon which j, becomes the duty
of every citizen of Afdmore, who is
eligible, to go up to the polls and
cast vote for good government,
as the same may be understood in
the minds of those who are entitled
to franchise.
The Ardmoreite urges all men and
women voters in the city to avail
themselves of this right, of this OPP
portunity to say what kind Of gov
ernment Ardmore should have, and
who will be the men TO administer
the affairs of the city.
II you believe that managerial
form Of government should be adopt
ed, walk boldly up to the polls and,
by your vote, say so. If you be-
lieve that the city's business should
be administered in an unbusiness-
like manner, have the courage Of
your convictions and vote against the
managerial form.
There can be no question as to
the relative merits and demerits Of
the managerial form and the pre-
sent form of government as applied
to Ardmore. The strongest argu-
ments which can be found for the
managerial form, lie in the com
plete satisfaction of cities which have
tried out that plan find in it.
The strongest argument which can
be produced against the present
form Of government in Afdmore, may
be found in the statements which its
friends have given out to the effect
that the construction company which
built the last pipeline, were overpaid,
as the administration now in the
saddle claims, fraudulently.
Another strong argument against
a hit-or-miss political non business
government may be found in the
story of Ardmore's water supply, with
the prologues and epilogues telling
of how, for years and years, the
cry adequate water supply" has
gone forth with regular annual re-
currence.
A managerial form of government
will mean business manner of con-
ducting the affairs of the city. 1t will
mean big business handled in q
business manner. II will mean that
the same business methods will be
applied to the city's affairs, that are
applied, 10y the owners. TO Sll lines
of legitimate, reputable and success
full business. 1t will mean that poll
teal filibustering Will cease and that
the dollars and cents Of the taxpay-
ers Of Ardmore will be handled in

ner. II win mean an expanding OF

OF the residential sections, with the
coming here Of more business con.

pie. the building OF more business

Editorial
of the Day
THE WILSON ADMINIsTRATIO,
(From Anadarko American)

(tr0m AnadarkO American)
The fatefm administration of
Woodrow Wilson now belongs to his
tory. 1t has been assailed with a
bitterness known in no previous part
Of our history. Yet it has accom-
plished some wonderful results. a
few of those most notable may be
mentioned below:
lit carried through to success the
nations part in the most terrible war
of history. In spite of all criticism
and attack, the fact remains that it
won the war.
2.-Compared with the Civil and the
Spanish-American wars, it was honest
ly conducted. No such atmosphere
OF scandal enveloped it as appeared
after previous struggles.
Sit was skillfully conducted in
the field The federal government
in the Civil war was constantly
changing generals. BY master.
piece Of correct judgment the COM
mand Of our forces in France was
put in the hands of a man capable
Of this great job of organization, and
he Nlll lllCu IL lIlOuSu W SuCCSSS Win
comparatively little friction.
At was q war conducted on a
high moral plane. In previous strug-
giles the soldiers were demoralized by
vices. In this war every effort was
made to surround the soldiers with
clean influences.
5,--The mobilization of our forces
was conducted with wonderful eff
cheney by the draft boards, and the
manhood of America was assembled
without friction or disturbance for its
difficult service.
6-Marvelously skillful work was
done by propaganda TO educate the
people up to the causes OF the war
and the reasons why we must fight.
THE Wilson administration reor-
ganiZed the financial system of the
country by the federal reserve bank
ing act, which makes practically i'm
possible the financial panics that used
to devastate business about every 10
years.
Many other acts Of reform legisla-
tion could be cited that have immeas-
urably improved economic conditions.
The Wilson administration will be
long remembered for these great
achievements.

Mary Jane and the Little Old Man
in the Woods

~NE day, wien MARY Jane got to be
I great big girl, nine years old, she met
~ a little old man at the edge Of the
woods. He was the funniest little old man
you ever saw. Dressed all in green on one
side, and all in red on the other. One of
his feet was turned frontwards and the other
was turned backwards, so you could never
know which way he was going until he
started.
This little old mans name was Old John
Star. He had lived in the woods for a
long, long time. What he had come to
see Mary Jane for was about the delicious
Mary Jane Syrup that Jimmy Jones, the
woodchuck, told him about.
Mary told him all about how good Mary
Jane Syrup was for everybody, and ran
into the house and got him a couple of

Old John ate every bit of them, smacked
his lips and said, cts the best thing

being so enthusiastic about Mary Jane
Syrup. It's everything they say about it,
and little more"
And then he took two steps forward and
one step back, and finally got started away
from there in the right direction, and Mary
Jane was glad that she had made another
friend who would be glad all the days of
his life that she had told him about Mary
Jane Syrup.
