The Senate committee on the Dis

of the bill introduced by Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington, Civ
ing the citizens of the District of Col
iumbia the right to elect a delegate
to the House of Representatives. At
present the $4,000 residents of the
city of Washington have no repre-
sentative in either house of Congress,
although there are seven states with
no larger populations that have two
senator's and at least one representa-
tive each Senator Poindexter's

BILL
NEE OPPOSITION

To the great majority of people
the plain people-the position taken
on the anti-lynching bill by the Demo-
cratic members of the lOwer house of
Congress must have been amazing.
The bill is the first serious effort
to curb an evil which has been grow
ing steadily for a generation and
which has become a deep stigma upon
the country. One would have sup
posed that a party which two or three
years. ago ~professed such beautiful
moral and humanitarian sentiments
in advocating the League of Nations
would not permit any organization to
surpass it in condemnation of "Iynch
law" but as a matter of fact the
Democrats in Congress have not been
as excited since the civil war as they
have been over the proposition that
lynch law should be repealed.
So bitter has been the Democratic
opposition that the bill may be re-
garded as virtually a party measure.
Indeed, it actually is a party meas
ure In the that 221 of the 23O
votes by which it was passed came
from Republicans, while the Demo
Gratis contributed 1O2 of the 119 votes
in opposition.
The bill takes the enforcement of
the constitutional guarantee of jury
and the punishment of lynchers out
Of the hands of the state by provid.
ing that lynchers shall suffer life
imprisonment and that the same pen.
atty shall be imposed on state, coun.
ty and munisipal officials who, BY
negligence, fail to prevent ~lynchings
The measure also ~stipulates tina
counties in which life is. taken b.
mobs shall forfeit $4,000 to the fam
of each and every victim. And tn
yell of rage-accompanied by the oil,
cry of states rights-with which tn
southern representatives and thei
Democratic brothers in northern
states have fought it from the mo
ment of its introduction is first-clas
evidence that it is expected to b
effective.

FEW DOCTORS FAVOR
LIQUOR AS MEDICINE

The Journal of the American Med
zeal Association has published the re-
suits of an inquiry, during the course
of which they received expressions
of opinion from 31,115 physicians in
regard to the medicinal use of whis-
key, beer and wine.
A bare 81 per cent of these Bills
physicians, representing every state
in the Union and the District of Col
umbia, believe that whiskey should
be available for medicinal purposes,
and So per cent of those replying be-
lieve that the number of such pre-
scriptions should be restricted.
Only &c per cent Of those replying
regard beer as a necessary thera-
peutic agent; and the favorable vote
on wine was only 80 per cent.
Twelve per cent of the physicians
giving their decisions favor absolute
prohibition of the prescribing of whis-
key, and there was a very decided
and general opinion among the doc
tors that the prohibition law has not
caused suffering by its restrictions
upon the medical profession. Seventy
eight per cent of the physicians reply
ing declared that they had not OBJ.

practice.
The following was sent from Della

TROUBLE CAUSED BY
IRRESPONSIBLE LAWS

Commenting on the need to combat
radical ideas in American civic life,
prominent lawmakers at the capitol
say that much disrespect for law a
be traced TO the enactment of foolish,
unnecessary and hopelessly out of
date statutes.
In Kentucky a bill has been intro
duced in the legislature making it IL
legal to teach Darwinism in the pub
lie schools.
In Massachusetts a cripple has been
arrested and fined for playing a game
of checkers outdoors on Sunday.
A Kansas City school official be-
fr-es rat jezz music has a similar
49, In lung people to strong
drink, and urges a jazz prohibition
movement.
Says t.le Philadelphia Public
Ledger: "Such superprudery and n.y.
perhypocrisy is calculated to disgust
the average law-abiding morality and
does not tend to stabilize that govern
ment by the consent of the governed
which makes for public decency and
civic morality"
Mrs. Margot Asquith, famous Eng
lish political leader, says: "Ameri-
cans are not free-you overdo your
prOhibitive laws and then do not en-.
force them"
Legislation which attempts to foisi
upon a long-suffering majority the
personal prejudice OF the fanatical
ideas of some isolated refOrmer in
variably does more harm than good
brings the law-making body enacting
! such statutes into disrepute and, by
making the source of law ridiculous
decreases respect for other laws wei
conceived and thoughtfully passed.

BRASS TACKS.

One critic Of the results of the arm

to create the impression that by an
agreement based upon a certain
arithmetic ratio, the conference had
ignored elements appealing 10 the
higher natures of humanity. The
fact is, however. that the conference
got down to the only definite plan
that could accomplish results. 1t

CREATING FEDERAL
EDUCATIONAL DEPT.

When the Towner-Sterling bill
passes, the United States will have a
Department of Education, with a sec
rotary in the cabinet. One of the first
tasks such a Department of Educa-
ton must undertake is the review and
classification of textbooks. The nee
essity for national information on
books which teach national affairs is
constantly being brought before the
public, the most recent case being
in the national capital, where a GER
tain textbook of history is under fire
from citizens associations as being
historically inaccurate and socialistic
in its tendencies.
Whether the book is good or bad is
hardly a matter for determination by
citizens associations, no matter how
patriotic. Only authority should be
permitted to say what is, and what is
not, In a good school book. The trou-
bic with the average schcol-book Sc
lection authority is that it is biased
by location and environment, without
a national viewpoint.
A federal Department of Education
would not be biased, and would either
have a national viewpoint or be &
complete failure. A list of edequat,
school books which had been ARE
fully reviewed and classified by tn,
national government would go far to
ward securing that uniformity in ed
u~cation and accuracy in the teachin,
of history which are in themselve
a national bond and would be eagerl,
welcomed by local school boards ev
erywhere.
Obviously no such list of book
would be issued as anything else tina
suggestions. When the Department
Of Agriculture tells farmers of a goo
fertilizer it does not require them t
use it-only their brains and FIRE
choice! So it would be with the Ii:
l OF books, and, indeed, all the acts {

: would be advisory only, and vaIuabI
: in proportion to their educational. n,

emerging from a debt Of hundreds of
millions of dollars that was the price
of 26 months of federal control of the
railroads, most of which was under
McAdoo's direction, where competi-
ton was entirely eliminated. 1t is
true that absence of competition was
not the only influence that contributed
to the deficit, but it was a large one.
1t is just as essential that railroads
shall compete in offering ~transporta-
ton to the public as that other in
dustries shall compete in the open
market for business. The principle
has always been recognized by the
interstate commerce commission,
which undertakes to fix rates on a
competitive basis for road. that have
a monopoly of the territory through
which they run. The stringent econ
omies now being practiced by every
railroad are not only TO meet the
present excessive cost of operation as
compared with a minimum of freight
offered by shippers, but is a part of
the struggle by each to secure it's
share of business. Remove that stim-
illus to profits, and inefficiency and
high costs would rapidly destroy our
transportation system, and the public
would pay the price.

SCHEME Of mellon
FOR BONUS MONEY

This rich country should have no
difficulty in raising $425 100000 an
nually in the next two years to defray
the cost of the proposed soldiers
bonus. The trouble is to select the
source or sources from which the
money shall be taken. 1t having been
put up to Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon to make a recommendation,
that official did so before the ways
and means o5mmittee of the House.
Now we shall see how Congress and
the people react to the proposals.
Mr. Mellon is firmly of the opinion
there should be no reliance on pay
ments by the allies on account of
their Indebtedness to the United
States, an opinion shared by many.
He is opposed to levying a general
sales tax on the ground of cost and
difficulty Of administration. Not so
many Americans will agree with him
on this. But special taxes should be
levied to meet bonus payments, the
secretary says, and he suggests an in
crease of first and second-class post
age rates, increase on cigaret and to-
bacco taxes, increase of documentary
stamp taxes, a tax of 2 cents on each
bank check, and 50-cent levy on each
horsepower of automobiles.
From these sources he estimates
$300,O00,000 a year might be secured
which would leave a shortage of S125,.
100000 in the amount he believes
must be available to meet bonus de
mands. Likely this will bring Con
gresS back to a consolidation of {
general sales tax, if it does not resor-
to it for all the money needed fol
the soldiers. We imagine there will
be less popular objection to that form
of taxation than TO an increase O
postage rates and the nuisance o
pasting stamps on checks.
1t is important that, the bonus bi
being enacted, theirs be no unneces
sary delay in beginning payments t
the ex-service men. The advantag
of the levies recommended by Secrt
tary MllOn is that they would begi
to yield cash almost immediateI

Gated machinery would have to be 81

not an enviable duty that was put {

FAITH IN ARDMORE

HAVE faith in Ardmore Believe in your own chy
and believe in it, not in passive, coloress way
but vigorously and actively. Resent to the extent OF
conviction, bes and uncomplimentary things that
are said about your city by outsiders.
The Ardmoreite believes that this is one OF the
duties OF citizens here during the coming year.
The advertising that Ardmore has received on
several occasions has made bad medicine on the
outside. We know that some of the things that
have happened here not representative OF the
town or its people, but those living elsewhere don't
know it.
A local man received letter yesterday from
friend down in Texas. The letter was full OF vil-
cation and abuse OF Ardmore. 1t wasn't just The
editorial comment isn't fair to the city.

For every shooting scrape it has record oil

No city we know OF can boast OF as many COM

termined for bettermen It's schools and its churches
will vie with the best.
Have faith in Ardmore.
The Ardmoreitc is not proposing thai we conduct
ourselves as the ostrich and bury our heads in the
sands of false security. Certain conditions must be
cleaned up but those conditions at worst are not the
