On arriving at the scene II was

Deputy Smith. who was taken 10

scious until a late hour this after
noon. He was seriously injured and
barely able TO talk. but advised the
officers that the accident resulted
when their car struck sandy spot

He remembered no more until he

deputy returning TO Tucson late this
afternoon for supplies reported that
the posse is close On the trail and
may effect a capture before nightfall,

without food nor water.
The theory advanced this morning
by Tucson officers was that the
wreck was the result OF plot 10 lib

both the sheriff and his deputy had
been beaten by the bandits and &C

TO CURB CRUELTY

A law, to curb trained animal
acts and possibly prohibit them
entirely, is being framed by the
British parliament.
The idea back OF the movement
is a good one--that trained animal
acts are based on cruelty and us
ually are without educational value.
As old circus men put it, "Al that 5
necessary to train a wild animal is
kindness and a red-hot iron"
Killing animals for sport, or train
ing them for exhibition at a profit,
is a survival of Savagery.
If England passes the proposed
law, she should hand copy OF it
to the young prince OF Wales, who
recently butchered tigers and ele-
plants in India. 1t may be SEN
sible to kill man-eating tigers, but
that was not his motive.

THE PAROLE SYSTEM

The Okmulgee Times. guilty OF
little partisanism perhaps and per-
haps actuated to some extent by
simon-pure motives, wonders il the
fate that befell Henry Starr and
Paul Hadley after the two were let
out on parole, does not prove that
the parole system is wrong. Starr.
il must be remembered, died in a
gun battle following his parole,
while Paul Hadley slew a man and
is now under sentence Of death.
The Ardmoreite fails to follow
the Okmulgee Times process OF
reasoning. Because cake makes a
hoy sick is no reason that cake is
not nourishing. We cannot assume
that prohibition is failure, merely
because some old stew-head gets
hold OF bottle of corn liouor now

made remunerative. This demand, Of

JOINT DEBATES

The Ardmoreite believes Judge
Thos. Owen struck the right chord
when he challenged his opponents
to series of II debates. Nothing
so clarifies political situation as
joint debate.
Outside of newspapers them
selves, nothing is so conducive to
public enlightment as joint de-
bate.
Joint debates do not necessarily
mean mud singing. If candidates
are the right sort they can meet
and discuss issues without growing
nasty about it.
BY all means let's have Judge
Owen, X. II. Wilson and lack Wal

A Newspaper That Serves
MOVING FORWARD

Those of us who are wont to
view the changing world from too
narrow perspective, are inclined
10 pessimiSm now and then. The
world is growing worse, we groan,
viewing with alarm the unprece-
dented activity OF women in varied
spheres, the revolt OF youth" the
class and creed upheavals, the in
dustrial strife that is an almost
continual occurance.
But isn't our pessimism born of
the restricted viewpoint rather than
4 careful study of history and
weighing OF issues and standards.
What is really happening in the
world. as the Ardmoreite views it,
is the almost total emancipation of
people. Laborers, as a class, wo-
men as class youth as a class, re-
leased from age-old conventions
all are taking places in the world,
never dreamed OF before.
As believers in the destinies of
men and nations, can we SO Jar
wander afield in our thought as
not TO realize that every great age
has witnessed radical changes. new
movements OF sweeping conse-
quence and reforms OF permanent
worth.
lust what is before the world
may be mooted question. but the
fact still remains that the world
has ever advanced, sometimes
through travail, ever through blood
shed and suffering, but steadily and
surely advancing nevertheless.
Those who hold that the world
is going to the demnition bow
vows fail to consider that a world
war, prohibition, emancipation of
women, surging forward OF the
laboring class, all have been radical
in their scope. That they should
have upset the staid, prosiac con-
ventions OF the world is a matter
OF course.
Sir James Barrie, lecturing to
graduates OF boys school in Eng
land recently, declared that "Cour-
age is the thing" Continuing he
insisted that "All goes if courage
goes. The greatness OF people is
founded on their moral principles,
but unless man has that virtue
he has no security for preserving
any other
The world is attesting courage
today. Women are courageous as
they move into unchartered ways.
Labor is courageous as it demands
what it justly deserves. Even
smiling youth, fresh from a war it
won, is exhibiting courage as it
requires new niche in the world.
With Browning we may we'll say,
Gods in his heaven, alls right
with the world"
