What. then. Is more natural than
that Japan should again follow her
former tactics? Success or failure
at Washington turns upon the ar
rival or nonarrival at agreement
upon naval Limitation and upon a
naval holiday. Japan has the power
to produce failure. She also wants
something. the elimination of Guam.

require Japanese assent to their
program pay in the coin Japan

You sum the thing up pretty ac-
curately when you say that the

success, and, finally, success or fall

automatic. But Japan has no direct

of petty politics. 1t is our sincere belief that
ArdmOre will throw off the load of ineffi-
cheney that it has been so long forced to
carry.
Mayor Freeman had to pitch his cam
paign against something or somebody in or
der to make an issue, because he cannot
make speech unless he imagines he is being
attacked, which affords him an opportunity
to use his eloquence and to create sympathy.
He never made constructive speech in his
life Inasmuch as he had to attack someone
or some institution, we would Just as soon
have him attack us as anyone else in the city
and we want him to know that we bear for
him no malice whatever, that we feel toward
him just as we have always felt
But in the name of efficient government
we do want Ardmore in Tuesdays election to
adopt the managerial form of government.
If you do that it does not matter much
who is elected mayor, as there will be an
other election held.
But for fear the change Of government
is not voted, we owe it to this city to nomi-
nate Kirk Dyer for mayor

We crave the indulgence of all who may
deem this page worthy of perusal, for referring
second time in one issue to the slurs and in
situations which are cast against Ardmore and
Ardmores citizenry in series of signed and
syndicated articles, now running in certain
newspapers but the insult is so flagrantly un-
just, so glarngly false that we feel justified
in further resenting it.
Unfortunately yellow journals, edited by
men devoid of self respect, fill their columns
with articles which are penned by the class of
men whose only dream is to write the sensa-
tonal, the morbidly indecent and the indecently
suggestive. 1t is to such journals that the syn
dicated stuff now being sent out each article
carrying slurs and insinuations against Ard

some Oklahoma papers, which have hitherto
been classed as clean sheets, printing only
news which is news, have seen fit to fall, tenn

ported news stories which are, in point Of fact,

THIS PAPER NOT A
SCANDAL MONGER

The News has been getting propositions
from some cheap news agency recently offering
to furnish the dope" on the Clara Smith trial
each week for $500 per week.
The News desires to serve notice on all
these scandal mongers, for that is what we
consider them, that we have no space for such
matters, as we consider such matters unfit for
any newspaper that circuates among the fam.
lilies Of respectable people.
Such proceedings are suited only for such
publications as the Police Gazette and publi-
cations Of its class and should not be allowed
in the columns of any decent newspaper.
Some writer's are not able to discriminate
between responsibility and indecency when it
comes to getting court proceedings, therefore
the News is not open to the writings of every
upstart that imagines he is 'news writer"
There is a wide gulf between news and scan.

TWO SIGNIFICANT PROTESTS

From Muskosee Phoenix
In the main the wretched farce OIL
a pretended enforcement OF nationai
prohibition either passes without re-
mark or furnishes subject for fun
ny cartoon and a cplumn or jokes.
A very large number Of men started
with the fixed idea that prohibition
could not and would not be enforced,
and they settle quietly down 10 accept
the expected
nut there nave come two protests
which we think to be very significant.
They are both from governors OF
states who might be supposed not TO
go hunting for trouble but TO let the
federal authorities carry their own
burdens. These states are the last
that might be expected TO take such
a stand New York and Kentucky. The
one is one Of the greatest, il not the
greatest distilling section in the United
States. The other is the state where
most booze, of one sort and another,
has been dispensed to the public.
Therefore it might be assumed that
either would welcome gladly policy
which would save from destruction
profitable interests.
But II is not so and il could
not be SO, The governor Of a state
must meet face to face the condition
that affronts and alarms us all--the
growing contempt for law and the
increase in crime. Strong drink was
always an encourager Of these evils.
Now they are multiplied many fold
The drink still circulates; and now 1t
IL Of quality TO inclte to madness
and crime those who would have been
but pleasantly exhilarated by the old
beverages. Its circulation has called
into being thousands Of law-breakers
and powerful organizations formed to
the same purpose. 1t is u serious
condition.
A broken law is like poison gas. 1t
creeps everywhere. 1t vitiates the
whole atmosphere. 1t strikes at foun-
dations 1t breeds thousands OF
breaches OF other laws. No executive
can afford to disregard or tolerate
it. IT is not only the direct mischief
done by the "hooch" now in circula-
ton, it Is phe education in law-break-
ing which is debauching the country
and which must be stopped al any
cost

LETTER OF APPRECIATION

Editor, Daily Ardmoreite,

Dear SIR
A copy OF The Ardmorelte con-
tanning the article concerning the
University OF Oklahoma-March g.
has just been handed me. have read
the article with a great deal Of i'm
terest and am taking this occasion 10
thank you for making such a strong
appeal to the people of the state.
While the growth In stuients during
the past few years has been very
gratifying still the recognition it has
received In the educational world, Is.
we believe. even more important. The
University OF Oklahoma is now rec
ognzed by the association Of Aineri-
can Universities. which places US ON
par with Harvard. Yale. Columbia,
etc, 90 far as quality Is concerned,
and our credits are accepted in these
schools without discount. our medical
school was given n class A rating By
the American Medical Association less
than two years ago: We have been
Frln,ed a Phi Beta charter; and our
law school is q member of the Assoc
citation OF American Law Schools.
TO close the university before the
close OF the school year on account Of
lack OF appropriations by the leyisls-
ture, when according TO the state
treasurer, there will be surplus of
approximately $4,000. 900 in the treas
ury, would certainly be DISASTROUS. The
years OF hard work in building up a
school that is recognized throughout
the country as one in which our future
lenders may prepare themselves to.
become worthy citizens, would be was,.
ed energy.
Sincerely yours.

ed Infield Of Braves. So He
Lifts Into Bleachers.

Boston. May 3.-Infelders Of the
Boston Red Sox think that Babe
Ruth's hitting can be cut down.
To this end they have worked out
defensive scheme of play that
proved effective yesterday.
The deployment, said to have
been conceived by Stuffy McInnis,
puts all the infielders back on the
grass beyond the diamond. The
third baseman plays a bit to the
right of his usual position. The
shortstop is almost back Of the
second base, and the second and
first basemen play what is virtu-
ally a short right field. The pitch
er is assigned to cover first base.
In its first test yesterday the
scheme showed results as follows !:
First time up, Ruth hit hard to
the right Of second base. Pratt's
position made possible stop and
throw that caught the runner. The
next time Ruth struck out, but or
his third turn at bat the new de-
Tense was tried again. Catching a
low curve with hard swing, Ruth
smashed the ball toward right field
McInnis, from his deep position
swung across to make sensation
al stop, backhanded, and continu
ing his dash beat Ruth by sliding
for first base.
Finding it impossible to pass tn,
receded infield. Ruth on his fourtl
time up cracked a low curve int,
the right field bleachers for hi
sixth home run of the season ant
his only hit of the game.

LLLINPS PERFECT PITCHER TO
STICK TO BEEKS DESPITE BIDS
FROM THE MAJOR LEAGUERS

Urbana, ILL.,. May 3.-Robert A.
Barnes, University Of Illinois south
paw who pitched a no-hit no-run
game April s against Northwestern,
could drop his school books and go
into professional baseball in any
league.
But he won't. He'll stick to his
studies.
Several big league clubs have Of
fered him contracts.
His sudden jump into the hall Of
fame-the event in life time for
a pitcher-has not turned his
head.
Coach Carl Lundgren, who has
prepped Barnes this spring, sees in
the 1S-year-old sophomore the
makings of a great star.
Throws Drop.
He throws a fast-breaking drop
with perfect control. He handles
himself smoothly in the box and
wears a good head on his shoulders.
In his record game Barnes threw
but Is balls. He struck out 10
men.
If Hellstrom, second baseman,
had not fumbled an easy bounder in
the ninth, allowing one runner to
reach first base, Barnes accomp-
lishment would have doomed
greater.
He would have come near equal
ing the record made by Christy
Mathewson when Matty recorded
one Of his no-hit, no-run games a
few years ago. Matty threw but Y
balls, the record for full game.
Cy and Addie.
Only two men in baseball his
tory have accomplished records in
which a batter did not reach first.
Cy Young, for the Boston Ameri-
cans in 1904, twirled a perfect game
with perfect support.
Addie Joss in 1910, pitching for
Larry Lajoie's Cleveland Ameri-
cans, repeated the feat against the
Chicago White Sox.
There have been but 80 no-hit
no-run nine inning games in the
major leagues since their begin
ming.
The trick of turning in a hitless
and runless game is the ambition OF
every pitcher.
A soldier lad pitching for the
army team in Coblenz, Germany
turned in the first perfectly pitched
game this season in semi-pro ball
If Barnes continues his superb
form in winning the Illini team
will make strong bid to win the

The Big Eight track meet Satur.

best fought track contests ever held
in the conference. Galesburg, Mo.
line. Rock Island and probably Day.
export will enter strong teams
Competition should be close.
Coach Kimmel tonight started .
week Of hard workouts in prepara.
ton for the meet. The men vere
given a rest last night after the
Aledo mix, but work was started in
earnest this evening in spite Of cool
atmosphere.
Although Rock Island was de-
feated by Aledo in the meet held
last Saturday, this fact should not
be taken as reversal Of form.
Due to the class play and the lack
of travelling accommodations only
half of the squad could be taken.
Berry, a sure winner of the mile:
Hall, who losses the shot Al feet.
and Shelter, a strong pole vaulter,
were among those absent, besides
a number of likely second and third
placers.
Reports as to what Davenport
will do in regard to the coming
contest are indefinite. The Iowa
authorities do not seem to be able
to make up their minds whether to
send the whole Davenport squad
to the Big Eight, or split the team
and send half to the Big Eight and
the other half to the state meet.
Both Galesburg and Moline ap-
pear as logical contenders for the
championship. The downstate boys
always enter a strong squad and
have won more Big Eight track
championships than any other
school. Moline has an especially
strong team in the field events. II
the "Swedes" can produce some
sprinters worthy Of merit they
should have little trouble in TAX
ing the meet.
