OF THE DAY

A Reno county farmer lost patience
and fired upon petting party in al
automobile parked near his home. A
married woman is dead and her barber
friend may be blind for life as a result
of the farmers firing charge OF
buckshot through the rear of the AL
tomobile.
The farmer had every reason to be
ncensed. His children were being
scandalized by the fragrant immortal
ity of the auto parties near their home
But the old family shotgun is a radi
cal cure for such conditions. The par
ticular woman and that individual bar
Der will not put on any more parties
in front of that farmers home, but II
is fairly safe to guess that the parties
will be perpetuated by other willing

The people operating under the
designation in governmental ca
pacities operate sectionally, provin-
cially, individually, to win what
ever election is forthcoming"
Immediately after the primary
in Oklahoma, the Ardmoreite stated
that a new liberal element in Amer
lean politics would sooner or later
result in the breaking down of
party traditions and cause fusing
of the conservative element under
one banner and the liberal under
another. If this be lese majesty we
are entirely guilty for we firmly
believe just that is coming to pass,
and Mr.. Blythe's criticism is moth
ing more than substantiation of our
theory.
And yet the abstract principles
which created the democratic party
are no less potent and satisfying
today than they were when first
breathed into life by Thomas JEFF
ferson. Democracy in principle and
not in name only, is living, vital
part of our individual and collec-
tive life today. 1t has been
crushed to earth many times by
party organization, has been misin-
terpreted by party leaders and Of
times ignored for the temporary
gain of one election.
Democracy literally means the
rule of the whole people. That
principle encompasses all the de-
sircs and aspirations of the masses
of this nation. The application OF
that principle today may be entire
ly different from that necessary a
generation ago; new issues have
arisen which make for a revision
of organization operation, which
make for a shifting of attack and
for embracing of present day REM
edies for present day problems
vet while governmental rule is in
the hands of the whole people, de-
mocracy lives on and on.
The Ardmoreite looks for a new
leader to appear across the ma
tional horizon in the near future,
man who can interpret the is
sues into present day democracy.
When he does appear, the breaking
down OF traditional lines will actu-
ally take place and the progressive,
liberal minded element of the ma
ton will rise up and call him
blessed.
He will be democrat in princi-
pie whether he goes under that
party banner or not.

KILLING THE GOOSE

The act Of June 80. 1922, known
as the Appropriation Act is ruin
ing the United States army,
Above all it is doing so at time
when the country is upset by a
series of strikes which the COM
munist element in the country is
trying to use to bring about seri-
Gus disorder.
The act OF June 30, by creating
the necessity to eliminate a total
OF 1870 line officers from the regu-
army, has destroyed the morale
OF this force. Older officers after
long service with numerous cam
paigns 10 their credit find them
selves retired in lower grades than
otherwise would have been the
case. This means that they and
their families have to exist on a
much smaller income for the rest OF
their lives than would have been
the case had they been allowed to
complete their service
While the retired officer gets
three quarters of his pay, all his
allowances such as a house to live
in, heat, light, etc, cease upon re-
tirement, with the result that if he
retires short of the highest grades
he has difficulty in maintaining
himself and his family properly.
Greater than the injustice done
the older officers is the fact that
the younger ones and also the
Young men in civil life, who may
he contemplating entering the serv-
ice. see that the one guarantee al
ways held out to an officer is no
longer valid.
In exchange for the possibilities
OF financial success offered by civil
life, the government has always
pointed to the security in tenure OF
office as long as well-behaved and
efficient, with ultimate retirement
At a grade such that the pay would
enable the officer to live decently
he remaining years OF his life.
Ii the morale OF the officer corps
is shattered, and at present it is,
50 will he that OF the army. and an
army without proper morale is an
ineffective instrument.
The United States army is rath-
er unpopular to the general run Of
people just now. The thought Of
war is abhorrent. Yet the time has
been and may come again when the
army man is the greatest fellow
in the world. As Kipling says, ITS
Tommy this, and Tommy that,
when the band begins to play"
The day will come when war will
have been banished from the
earth. II it were lett to the United
States today, war as an institution
would cease from this day forward,
but unfortunately this is not the
case. While there is a sword for
oiiense there must be sword for
defense and the United States must
not be caught off its guard.
The United States owes too much
TO the army officers for what they
have already done, to say nothing
of what they may have to do, to
deliberately destroy the whole
morale and organization.
A serious mistake has been made
We believe, in thus arbitrarily deci.
mating the commissioned forces.
