\ THE LORD REIGNETH:-Erali ye
W. the Lord our God. and worship at his
"a foostool; for be is holy.--Psalm 10:
BUILD, BUILD NOW

Why is it that there seems to be
such an apathy upon the part Of
real estate owners, to build more
homes?
All over the country, in practically
every town, email hamlet and large
city, the housing facilities are taxed
TO the limit, with the demand for
homes far in excess Of the houses
with which to supply these demands
yet. nowhere, are the men with money
and the owners of vacant lots taking
the interest which the situation and
conditions demand.
In Ardmore the situation is acute.
The demand for houses here is great
er, in proportion to the size Of the
city, than 1t is in most municipalities.
With a population Of approximately
$4,000, we have proper housing for
n little over half that number. Yet
we have acres and acres of vacant
lots upon which neat bungalows and
attractive cottages might be built
each bungalow and each cottage find
ing ready tenants as soon as COM
pleted.
Just as a uggestion-perhaps an
oft-repeated one would it not be well
for the local Chamber Of Commerce
to get busy with this proposition?
As we understand it the Chamber
Of Commerce hold membership meet
ings and has get-together luncheons
assemblages Of the board of directors
and advisory committees every once
and so often. At these gatherings
matters Of material interest to the
general community are discussed and
threshed ont, while plans are formu-
lated for the promotion of this, that
and the other enterprise.
No enterprise could bring so quick
and such lasting benefits to the city
as a building campaign, properly car
ried into execution.
The ultimate consumer may groWl
and fuss and fume and swear and
sweat about the rent hog until the
sun set and the cows come home, but
the rent hog will stay with us until
the enterprising element of the prop
erty owners get busy and erect more
houses.
This being the case. we again sug-
gest that the Chamber Of Commerce
get busy in the matter and do some-
thing tangible along the lines Of house
building.

1t is surely a fact worth thinking
about that when a shipload Of people
who We're leaving America recently
for good and returning TO the Euro

We're questioned as to their reasons
for abandoning the place where all
of them did well, u large percentage
replied that they We're going back

who have said in a million perorations
that this is the land of freedom, and
who now hear that men and women
are going back to Norway and to
Italy and even to Rumania, in order
that they may enjoy more freedam!
To large extXent the people told
the truth. Our lawmakers are eter-
nally busy with the minor manners
Of the people, with their customs and
harmless habits, trying to straight
jacket them all. They forget that a

Inasmuch as Mr.. Harding will dine
at the White House next Sunday, we
arise to a question Of personal privi-
lege and ask permission 10 interrogate
Mr.. Hoover relative TO the kind of
bread he will permit the chief execu-
tive to serve on the family board. If
he rules him down To the brand he
peddled to the common people" dur
ing the war, we predict "resigna-
ton" will be forthcoming at the first
meeting of the cabinet.

Editorial
of the Day
HOOVER Is A DISINFECTANT
From the New York World

following the refusal f Governor
LOw,ien of Illinois to accept a place in
the Harding cabinet, reports come
from ST. Augustine that Mr.. Hoover
is TO be secretary of commerce.
1t is easy TO understand why Mr..
Harding should desire to have Mr..
Hoover in his cabinet in spite of the
implscable opposition of Senator Pen
rose and Senator Johnson; but why
should Mr.. Hoover himself be willing
10 serve in u cabinet with Harry
Daugherty, A. h. Fall, Andrew w.
Mellon, John w. Weeks. and Tobias
Hert? What would he do in that gal
lery?
Mr.. Hughes case is different. He is
to be secretary of state, and that Is
now an office OF the greatest interna-
tiunal Importance. The opportunity Is
there TO shape the foreign policy not
only of the United States but prac-
tically OF the civilized world, provided
the obstacles within the administration
and the senate can be overcome. Fur
thermore, 1t is generally believed that
the state department is only a stop
over check for Mr.. Hughes on his way
back 10 the United States supreme
court. Decidedly, the Hughes case is
different.
Writing in the New Republic OF Mr..
Hoover as cabinet possibility, Ed
ward c. Lowry reports q conversation
that recently took place in Washing
ton:
"Do you think he will put Hoover
in the cabnet?"
"Sure he will. He's got TO have
Hoover. He will need him os formal
oehyde."
That would be Mr.. Hoover's princi-
pal function in n cabinet in wndch
Harry NJ. Daughcrty was attorney
general, Andrew w. Mellon was secre-
tary of the treasury, and \. B. Fall
was secretary OF the interior, with the
additional responsibility OF dctcrmin-
ing tho Administrations policy toward
Mexico. Mr.. Hoover would be the dis
infoctant. and that Is not much OF a
lob Cor man who 10 capable OF rem
dcrlng public service of inestlmable
value TO the country. Nor IS tho task
OF dclousing old guard politics ono for
which Mr.. Hoover "a especially fitted
| by temperament or training. even n
its accomplishment were IN the realms
OF possibility.
1t IS alrcaliy plain UaOt the Harding
cabinet IL 20 bo Il reactlonary cabinet
and the Harding policies are so bc re-
dictionary policies. That Is a logical In
| depreciation OF the election. and " II
Is consistently followed We shall at
| least have achieved responsible gov
ernmcnt, whatever elise may he said
about Il. But ir it Is 10 be n reaction
ary administration It ought to bc
| frankly ro.vtonnry and not compli-
Gated with AN appearance OF ,progrcs-
.siveness ATTENDED as camOuflage.
There are compensatious for Mr.
| Hughes IN serving as the head o. such
"a cabinet as Mr.. Harding has pro-
| lected, but thero are none Tor MIR
Hoover. lie will nave no real infNenco
with tie administrator. Ills presence
will only temporarily iclude the crciu-
ious and IN the end he will have a.
share the blame for policies oyer
which he could have no control, An
invitation to enter the Harding cas,
met is highly complimentary to Mr.
Hoover's reputation and character
but not flattering to his oolAical dis.
cernment.
