Ideal Location Assured.
All previous proposals about bath
ing facilities for Colored people at
some sort of objections. In some cases
this objection appears to have been
well founded Often the location OBJ
tainable was too far down the island
or almost TO the extreme western city
limits. Another objection. and this
objection Is emphasized, was the build
ing of a bath house in the south side
Of the sea wall in the Gulf. This
was equivalent, except for the mercy
of our Creator. to throwing the mon
ey into the deepest part of the Gulf
of Mexico. Under that circumstances
you could not tell when the property
would be entirely destroyed and thus
work ruin to the investors
II can be now said, subject to the
closest investigation that these objec-
tions have been fully and admirably
met. The bath house and hotel are not
to be erected down the island. They
are not to be erected at either the
eastern or western extreme of CAL
weston. They are to be erected at
what may be said to be the very
center of the beach front This pro-
posed bath house and hotel, IL the
$4,000 Is raised are to be erected
at the foot OF Twenty-eighth street

(By A. N. P.)

Chicago, III, Jan. 12.--Through the

loot from the train robbery, dropped
from sight
When Williams was arrested re-
Gently in connection with the death
of Price, it is alleged by the dectives
that he attempted to throw away a
bundle of checks on Chicago pawn
shops These checks were recovered
in the patrol wagon and an investi-
cation was begun.
According 20 Captain of Detectives
Edeburn of Pittsburgh, Williams said
Mt first that the jewelry represented
by the pawnticlets belonged to his
wife in Chicago. His wife is said to
have denied every having owned Jew

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS

The primary election is now an event
of the past. Those of our citizens who
had favorites among the list OF cand-
dates worked faithfully for their fav-
orites. Those who won are to be con.
graduated. Those who lost or had
friends who lost should forget their
disappointment and. unitedly. work for
party success at the November election.
The Republican took some little in.
terest IN the race for members of the
board of county commissioners. We
were against the denomination OF the
present republican members-and said
so. This feeling, to a certain extent.
was. as our esteemed contemporary
acros sthe street said, personal. We did
not think we had been treated with due
consideration in the matter Of county
printing. Naturally, that being the
case, we believed IL to our interest TO
nominate three republicans from whom
we might receive a square deal. Our
man, in the second district, failed TO
doubt. But, however. the ultimate re.
suit, we expect 10 stand four.square FOR
the ticket. The Lincoln County Repub.
lican is first. last and all the time a
republican newspaper. Whatever may
be the personal wishes OF the editor is
his private business. but the paper will
stand by the republican nominees un'
less It IL shown. beyond any question,
that such nominees are unworthy OF
public confidence and of holding public
office.-Lincoln Republican.

A Newspaper That Serves
A TICKET HOME

Some seer of another day con-
cluded that happiness literally hcant
holding a ticket for somewhere else.
And from he-hundreds who seek
other lands and other climes for
their summer vacations, one is in
cined to agree with him at first
thought.
And yet there is one universal
characteristic about these summer
vacationists-they are always just
as glad to get back home as they
were to leave it. The lure of some
where else" pals after awhile and
nothing seems quite so good as
the old home place and the folks
who call you by your first name.
California, Colorado, the East, the
Carolinas-their charms are myriad
hut they fail somehow to fill the
place of the home town.
There is quite bit OF provincial
ism in all of us for that matter, and
perhaps that is the reason. Provin-
cialism is just another name for
home-love or patriotism. It's a
od-given trait, this belief that the
town, county and state we hail
from are the best on the top side
of earth. II it were not for such
provincialism civilization would be
many centuries behind what it is
today.
And so il is quite natural that
the summer vacationist hurries
back home. Folks like him at home
for what he really is, not for what
he has in the way OF worldly
goods. At home he's not held up
by hell boys. ticket sharpers, taxi
bandits and amusement magnates.
No matter il the scenery happens
to be a little more elaborate on
Pixies peak than II is az Turner
Falls; no matter if the streets OF
New York city do appear to be a
little more congested than those of
Ardomore, Madill or Wilson-it all
begins to bore after a while, and
especially il there is no friend to
talk home language with you and
no genial welcome from the boys
in the hotel lobby, the barber shop
or your favorite drink emporium.
Happiness in the abstract may be
holding ticket for somewhere else,
hut literal and very present happi-
ness. we ween, is holding one
straight back home.

PRINTING THE NEWS

On several occasions persons
have come to the Ardmoreite, ask
ing that certain news items be with
held. These persons were either
actuated by sympathy, desire to
be OF service to friend or a mis-
taken belief that suppression of
news helps the town.
The Ardmoreite urges that the
practice of trying to keep news
out of the paper be discontinued.
We are endeavoring to run the
paper on conservative basis, min
imizing scandal and salacious news
whenever possible. and stressing
those things that are of benefit to
the community and its citizens, but
on the other hand we are under
obligation to the 5000 subscribers
OF the paper to actually print news
that is news.
A business man would be insult
ed if you went OF him and asked
him to misrepresent some business
transaction, and yet that is literally
what is asked of the Ardmoreite
when it is approached to hold out
news.
1t is not Our desire nor purpose
in printing news to discredit or re-
fleet upon persons or institutions,
but our first duty and our major
function is the printing of news as
it happens. This we endeavor to
do, not only to the very best OF our
ability but without regard to class
or influence.
Our readers may rest assured
that we are not going to regale
these columns with so called sensa-
tionalism. We have too high re-
gard for the calling for that. Meth
er are we going to pry into private
affairs or delve into antiquated past
to make racy reading. But news
that happens should be published
and that is what we will publish.
II there are two sides to a news
question, and there usually are,
we are only too glad TO furnish both
to the reading public.
But don't ask us to Withhold news,
People lose confidence in news
paper that suppresses legitimate
items.
