HARD TIMES HIT PULPIT.
English People Unable to Edu-
cate Their Sons for Minis
try Since the War.
BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
London, Feb. 27--The Bishop of
Durham says the Church of England
cannot find ministers enough to fill
its pulpits. The number of men an
nually ordained since the war has been
less than one-third of those annually
ordained before the war.
Because of the poverty to which so
many of the clergy have been reduced
by the war, many parents have ceased
to regard the church as providing de-
sirabe careers for their sons
There are 1900 fewer clergy working
in the parishes of England than in 1914.
II the Church were to meet its require
mcnts, the Bishop said, it would have
TO make way for democracy. The last
vestige of caste and class distinction
should disappear from the ministry and
ordination should be ms open to the sons
of the artisan as of the squire.

GOOD CROPS

On every hand are indications
that better days are here. Farmers
report splendid crop prospects.
The boil wevil has done some dam
age in this southeastern country
but is ravages will be nothing like
those of last year.
The corn is already made and
these almost intolerably hot days,
while bad on persons, are just the
thing for the growing cotton.
A good corn crop and a good
cotton crop-and you won't know
it's the same Oklahoma.
Good crops mean happiness and
contentment on the farms again.
Without these the country isn't
secure.

LETS CARRY ON

When Ewing London stood be-
fore the large gathering of his
friends and neighbors at the
Fourth Ward appreciation meeting
last night and told them, Il want
you to give me the biggest major
ity ever accorded a candidate in
this county, not for me but for
what | stand for he struck the
keynote OF the present sherifi's
campaign.
a vote for Ewing London in the
race last drawing to a close is a
vote for continuance OF the
cleanup policy expressed by the
people here six months ago. a
vote for Ewing London is a vote
for peace and protection here at
home.
The Ardmoreite is not for Ewing
London because he is the only
man who mighe enforce the laws
OF this commonwealth. Others can
do that. We are not for him be-
cause he gave some of the best
of his lie to the service of the
country. Others did that. We are
not for his because he is clean
morally. Others are that. We are
for him because he was man en-
enough to take job that others
shrunk from and because he has
filled it in mans way.
He represents to us the out
spoken demands of Carter county
citizens for better living conditions
here. We believe he has done his
work well and will do his work
well.
The Ardmoreite doesn't contend
that others pight not enforce the
laws OF this county, but we do feel
that London's defeat would be
sad blow to the work begun more
than six months ago here. 1t
would be literally a encouragement
OF the ideas expressed by that
work.
1t is up to the people OF Carter
County to carry on.

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
SCHOOLS TEACH DEMOCRACY

The public schools OF America are
the greatest force known for teach
ing democracy and the brotherhood
OF man. AS Professor Butcher OF
Pauls Valley pointed out last evening,
the English schols are planned to
keep the boys and girls In the same
economic strata into which they are
born. In America the boy who is
born in a hovel on a dirty side street
and the boy who is born in a mil
lion dollar palace on Fifth Avenue go
to the same schools and seek the
same information and have ike am
hitions, and these Ike ambitions may
be gratified. The boy who is born in
the og cabin in the wilderness gets
much the same training that the boy
born in q million dollar country
home gets. Many have been the in
stances when these boys change
PAGES in the economic world. and the
poor lad became the employer Of the
wealthy lad. There is no boundary
line.-Ada Evening News.

THE REAL THING

You and we missed a great deal
in lie by mot knowing Uncle
Oliver, concerning whom a man
high up in the newspaper business
writes as follows in private letter:
q have just been handed tele-
gram that tells me of the death OF
my Uncle Oliver, who at SO has
finished his work and passed on.
In every possible way his life was
complete. He was good hus-
band, father, neighbor and just
man. His sterling qualities hclud-
ed quiet demeanor, unassumng
ways, respect for law and order,
and determination that, in all
things. right must prevail.
TO me he was far more than
what | have written. He was Ro-
nance. He was. what | wanted to
he when | was a lad.
"His home to me was bit OF
fairyland, and yet it was an ordi-
narv country cottage with "Wel-
come written all over it. In my
early days paid yearly visit to
that old home and learned to adj
mire and to love, as men love, this
man who was so ruggedly honest.
