m violation oi law and that is sold in violation OF
law
Hundreds OF men never drink in their home town
but the minute they arrive on a business trip in
another town they seek liquor. These men are un-
mindful OF the harm they are spreading, their con-
sciences have nor become quickened to their own
mSdeeds They do not realize that they are over
riding the law and making it to no effect
Every man believes in rigid law enforcement
when applied to the other fellow but when he wants
to step aside for evening of little hilarity he
feels that he is entitled to what he wants because
it is not his intention to make harm of it. When
all these side-steppings are put together they make
mammoth business that supports hundreds of men
who live off OF the profits made in selling liquor.
Appeal for law enforcement from tainted breath
does not carry the weight of sincerity.
There was never time when good men did not
outnumber bad men ten to Even in the early
days OF Indian Territory when there was little law
for the government of the people the vast majority
OF people were in the class OF good men. lust so
it is today.
Added to the voting strength of the men who
want rigid enforcement of law has been added the
vote of women and almost without exception the
women stand for absolute cleanliness and they will
not compromise with their conscences at the ballot
box.
Women who have become leaders of thought in
this community are not tied to any political party.
They believe that ballots should be cast for capable
men without regard to party politics and all the
party organizers from both parties will fail to teach
these women differently from the teachings they
receive from their own consciences
1t is a principle of Democracy that the kind of
government the people have reflects the thought of
the people. Ii they do not have the kind OF gov
ernment that reflects their thought they can change
that kind OF government easily by application OF the
law or at the ballot box they can easily enough try

THE CURSE OF DRINK

Editor of the Ardmoreite:
There is much said about the re
cent tragedy in your city when -four
people were run over by a car (twc
of whom have died) as to who was
to blame. and | want to say word in
this connection.
The unhappy young man who ac'
cepts the responsibility is not alone
responsible. for every druggist who
ever sold him bottle of the many
substitutes for whisky and their
names are legion" every whiskey
peddler. yea every jovial friend, oil
magnate or business man of any
kind who meaning a kindness has
offered this young man a drink, Is
as much to blame as he is and as
responsible before God, and should
eb answerable before the bar of JUS
tice for the destruction of the bright
young lives crushed out without a
word of warning, or a second 10
prepare for eternity. Even the very

guardians of the peace and welfare OF
the town, are in a measure guilty
for they know of the illegal sale OF
the hell brew.
The unfortunate young man who's.
car did the deadly work and who is
doomed to carry burden of regret
and remorse for the rest of his life,
is one of the best and tenderest-
hearted persons in the wrold, gener-
Gus to fault and unable to say
no, to a friend, and this very good
ness and consderateness has led TO
his undoing-A friend says Have q

logger would say "Here'i some good
stuff, help me out and so it went
on, day after day, ! know that he
has been making a strenuous effort
lately to keep from drinking, and
not long ago went 10 his home. early
in the afternoon and when question
ed as TO his untimely arrival there
said II am running away from a bot

Can we not have protection for
such as these, men who have the
fatal liking for this devil broth that
meets them on every hand, in every
guise? The law is supposed to be the
bulwark Of the weak, and the Book
says. "Ye that are strong ought to
bear the infirmities of the weak.
Let us give these weak persons anoth-
er dependence Let us have a law

dent or misdemeanor that the taker or
purchaser may commit while intoxi-
Gated and let them receive equal
Such a law might not
deter an unprincipled man or woman
from selling liquor but some of
them would receive just punishment
and their ranks be thinned some
what.
Think of the crimes committed and
the men in penitentaries whose
cause was whisky. If we can't pre-

let us put the traffickers, one by
one as crimes occur, where they can
find no market for their wares, where
they cannot stand on street corners

You women voters and law makers,
take hold of this anl let the move
