HOME FORUM
AN APPEAL FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT

Editor, Ardmoreite:-
Does Ardmore need q temperance
effort?
Ask THAT little black-haired wife
who was raised as luxuriously as any
in our land, but whose delicate little
hands must now wash and iron and
patch and darn and cook and sew and
forever go that her children may not
look what they really are; a drunkard's
children.
Does Ardmore need her prohibition
laws enforced? What have the drug
men to say about II? What has the
sheriff of Carter couIsy TO say? Per-
haps nothing, but ask that mother
whose agony gave that drunkard son
20 the world. MARK her dimmed eye,
her furrowed brow, the gray that
streaks her dark hair now, her toll
worn frame, her trembling limb and
trace the ruin back" Where shall we
trace this awful devastation of the
alcohol habit anyhow? Whose work
is it, selling concoctons of jamaica
ginger and alcohol to steal away mems
brains and make their families pau
pers? Are they who are carrying
on this traffic proud Of IL? or are
they sinking around corners and into
alleys to hide themselves from the
faces of honest, clean men and wo-
men?
Are you by your votes pu1ln men
In office who will aid and abet this
kind OF work? Are you closing your
eyes to the real condition OF affairs
because those who are patronizng
these murdcrcrs have an air OF re-
spectability? Can not enough good men
and women be found in Ardmore 10
come up to the help of the Lord
against the mighty" and down this

THE BAD SMELL
McAFter News-Capital)

~c1Fter News-capltaD
A storyTs told of a country youth,
who while visiting in town fell asleep
in the rear of store, Some mischiev-
Gus boys rubbed llmburger cheese just
below his nose and when the youth
awakened he shifted the air suspic-
iously and then murmered, this store
is rotten, | will get out into the fresh
air. After getting to the street he
shifted again and murmered, this
street is rotten, / will go to another
pant of town" The same incident was
enacted and the youth declared that
the whole town was rotten, he was
going back to the country.
The story illustrates a very salient
point just at this time in our national
state and community existence. The
fellow who is always running around
finding fault with the government,
civic clubs, politics, churches, etc.,
has a bad smell right under his nose.
The world is not wrong it's the fellow
himself.
Certain things go wrong, conditions
become evolutionary, new conventions
stake their claim TO attention and
many Of us get all mixed up in our
mental apparatus and declare that
"all the worlds mad but thee and me,
and thee's bit mad"
lis high time the most of us got
anchored to some guiding star. If we
accept that hopeless philosophy that
this world runs around willy-nilly
without any guiding hand or pre-or-
dained plan, then certainly we may
feel that in all the economic dis
ruption and moral turbulence there is
something terribly amiss, bu. surely we
American citizens have cause to feel
that a divine providence has vouch.
safed unto us this nation in it's pres
ent marvellous growth and that the
world has not moved from age to age,
from progress to progress without
some uiaining influence.
If we can grasp this fact then we
must realize that what is now trans
piring is only part and parcel oe the
same plan and influence and that no
effort is wasted and that no action
is lost.

inaccessible speculation leads to
the making OF unearned profits
based on increase in value which
is the result not of greater prod
uctivity but of the natural process
of growth of population. The
breaking up of land monopoly will
put farming within reach of any
one who is ambitious and willing
to work the land and it will also
destroy the incentive for certain
forms of unearned incomes which
are detrimental to society because
they come out of the earnings of
producers and consumers.

So for the time being Secretary
