SIX SNOW TRUCKS
WILL Be SOUGHT
Supervisor of Street Cleaning
Will Ask Motors of
Congress.

An appropriation for the purchase
of six more motor trucks with snow
plow attachment will be asked of
Congress by the city government.
Morris Hacker, supervisor of street
cleaning and city refuse. stated to-
day. AS stated in The Star several
days ago, the street cleaning depart
ment is already arranging to pur-
chase out of the current appropria-
tlon two tractors for snow work.
In view of the fact that the storm
of January 2s demonstrated the in
adequacy Of the street cleaning de-
partment's equipment, 1t Is believed
Congress will be in a receptive mood
to consider the request for more
trucks and plows. In the big storm OF
last month the city moved $4,000
cubic yards of snow at total cost OF
$2s,32s. OF this amount $5.s2S was
spent for clearing cutters and open
ing crosswalks, leaving $4,000 which
was expended on actual removal Of
snow. This was at the rate of 50
cents a cubic yard.
Yesterday the department directed
all Of its effort to clearing the I'M
portant streets of the city to pre-
vent a tie-up of trafic. Today men
are at work removing the snow that
was banked to the side Of the streets
yesterday by the plows.
Although the department has only
four plows for attachment to motor
trucks and twelve horse-drawn grad
ers, this equipment yesterday opened
up driveways on 400 miles Of streets.
This showing was accomplished by
working three Of the four motor
truck plows from midnight to s
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Hacker estimated the total cost
of yesterdays snow operations at
$1,000. Extra men were not en-
ployed. but all street sweepers. alley
were put to work on snow.
Tho four motor. ploWs. working
from daybreak until yesterday even
ing. cleared ninety miles OF streets.
Three OF these trucks that went back
into service at midnight had covered
12O additional miles at s o'clock this
morning. The twelve horse-draWn
plows, working in teams of. two, COW
cred fifteen miles per team. or ninety
miles. making a grand total OF 500
miles for all equipment. ~
Must Curtail Expense.
Although the street cleaning de-
partment will have to curtail to some
extent it's work this spring if>it buys
two tractors. Mr.. Hacker believes
this step should be taken. The tract
ors, he explained, would not. be- idle
between snow storms. because they
are nseded to haul ash wagons on

THE KHAN IN POLITICS.

The almost complete victory OF
the Ku Klux Klan candidates in
Texas comes as somewhat OF 4
surprise to many persons who had
believed that the Klan power was
more or less mythical. The situ-
alton in some sections of Texas
was similar to the situation as 1t
existed in Carter, Choctaw, Tulha
and Muskogee counties few brief
months ago-there was lawlessness,
lots OF bootlegging and general
laxity OF enforcement.
Thus the Klan was able to gath
er for itself a powerful strength,
as it did in Oklahoma
Then came fight upon the
Klan, conducted by ants, num-
Der of papers and some publicity
seeking individuals. Naturally this
tended to weld the forces Of the
Klan more firmly together and
drew to it sympathizers who re-
sented the attacks.
The Klan entered politics in
Texas with the avowed purpose Of
cleaning up" That it named a
ticket and elected it, is due, we
think, to the fight made upon it.
In Oklahoma the conditions are
different. There has been no con-
certed fight made upon the Klan in
this stae. Some half-hearted at
tempts have been. made, but none
OF them worthy of the name, fight
The Ardmoreite does not favor
the Klan or any other secret or
ganization entering politics. Grant
ed that the Klan stands for some
abstract principles of worthwhile
consequence, it does not follow that
it should dictate the politics OF the
people. Such procedure means the
rule of the minority.
"he Ardmoreite felt kindly to the
Klan in its efforts to bring law
and order back to certain sections
of Oklahoma, and we believe it has
helped to accomplish this. We be-
lieve the organization was the nat
ural outgrowth OF the exigencie:
OF the times.
But whenever the Klan, or any
church or lodge, deliberately names
slate and attempts to dictate tc
its members that they shall follow
it, that is going too far.
II Democracy means anythine i
means the free and untrammellet
voting privilege.

one great trouble about law enforce

put him in go on about their business

able to get away with a great deal be-
cause the others are too busy 10 bring

successful candidate is a crook he can
soon drop into grating ways because

were aroused for the time being they

line. Talk to him about important
outside matters which are not con-
nected with his vocation, and YOU
find that he is an ignoramus. In
other words. he is 4 genius on one
thing, moron on others. This is
natural, for we live in an age OF
specialization. A man has time to
master only one thing. To become
successful, a man usually has 20
become a monomaniac on one sub
ject.
You see the reverse of this in the
case of the man who is jack-of-

is not a moron in any particular
branch OF mentality. He knows a
smattering Of everything. But nei-
ther is he conspiciously intelligent
