employed in other states is being used
here at this time, and the party string
pullers in Washington nave passed

men.
We all know that the Republicans
regret the fact that Oklahoma vas not
about 80 per cent Republican in the
great landslide Of two years ago. and
they regret that Manuel Hsrrick went
tc Washington as a congressman.

HASKELL'S COMING BACK

It's TOO bad Ardmore and Carter
coanty are not given a date on the
home coming tour OF Oklahoma's
first governor, Chas. y. Haskell,
It's 4 loss TO US.
Around the graying head OF Has
kell is halo OF early memories that
are inseparable in Oklahoma's rec
ord Of advancement. To him goes
much Of the credit for giving that
state the birth and early rearing it
received. His astute mind guided
the baby commonwealth well as the
years have consistently disclosed.
Haskell is coming back, a national
figure both in politics and in ii.
lnances, but he's the same old Has
lkell, no less virile and no less eour-
aeeous and kindly.

PERMANENT ROADS

The several hundred men who
are gathered in Ardmore today
from three states are part OF that
fundamental group that is persist
emily, consevatively yet surely CIV
ing to this section its most needed
and by all odds most valuable eco
nomic asset-permanent highways.
Ardmore could not entertain men
who mean more 10 the future OF
our country than sincere good roads
advocates.
There is nothing of the spectacu-
lar about good roads conventions.
They lack the bizarre, the romantic,
the glamorous appeal OF political
organizations or even civic gather
ings. yet in them is the germ OF
real progress.
Good roads are 10 the community,
the section and the state, what i
foundation is TO a building. They
are 10 trade what the Arteries are
TO the body. With our automobile
traffic, both in business and pleas
IRE. pursuits, good roads have be-
come a crying necessity.
Time was when d trail cut
through the underbrush and tim
bers OF a given territory furnished
transportation facilities in keeping
with other economic standards.
Those days are gone forever. We
are living in an age that IS gradu-
ally obliterating distance. Good
roads are helping 10 achieve this
enc.
Oklahoma is still backward with
its highway program. Despite the
ppronounoed advancement in this
line during the afterwar period,
there are miles and miles of road
way: in this state that are disgrace
full miles and miles that are bare
" possible and even more miles
than that that should be immedi-
stely bettered.
AS a matter of fact Oklahoma
must have great system Of per-
manent, hard surfaced highways Il
cannot maintain its place in the
galaxy OF progressive states until
i comes to this, To accomplish
such an end there is Z good roads
convention in Ardmore today. 9th
ers are being held here and there.
Educational work is being done by
a great number OF men while others
are giving their very lives 10 the
work. All OF it is splendid and
yrey much worth while.
Eternal vigilance and labor are
the price OF achievement Much
more OF the effort expended here
today must surely be realized upon
in the near future The Ardmore-
ite sincerely hopes so.

MIR. BAKER AND HISTORY

1t will take something more than angry as-
 sertlol on the part of partisan press and the perfunctory certifications of partisan
 ex-officialdom to discredit the judgment of
 the editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica, who have written into that work that Newton D. Baker, formerly Secretary of War, was a !pacifist who had no stomach for preparedness
 or for the war even after we got into it. It is a case where declamatory denial stands at odds with recorded fact, says the San Fran cisco Argonaut. If Mr. Baker had been for
 preparedness he would have prepared-or quit. If he had been earnestly for prosecu-
 tion of the war he would have prosecuted it
 with vigor--or quit. A Secretary of War whose heart was in his work would not have
 waited for four months after we were nomin- ally in the war to determine what kind of a gun we should begin to manufacture. Gan
 anybody imagine Stanton, Lincon's Secre- tary of War, dilly-dallying and shilly-shallv- ing through the period when we were obvious ly in the way of getting in? Can anybody imagine a man whose heart was in his work waiting until put under pressure of public opinion to take measures essential to organi- zation ard dispatch of our forces? 'sThe 1CColu, says d uldAlIl Ol Ine law, 'lS the
 best evidence. ," By the record Mr. Baker stands convicted, Furthermore, he was brought into the War Department for the sefsame qualities that marked his conduct prior to our entrance into the war and after we got in. Mr. Wilson. himself confessed pacifist-a man "neutral in thought'' and ''too proud to fight,' an advocate of "peace without victory" President who "kept us out of war''--wanted a weak and spineess war minister. He had found in his first Secre- tary (Garrison) a man of independence and spirit, and independence and spirit being not to his taste he sought and found in Baker creature whose mind would Ego along" with
 his own. It is waste of energy for Baker or

NO NEWSPAPER?

What would life be without a newspaper? Have you thought how you would miss your daily paper if should happen to suspend? true it is struggling weak specimen of the art preservatve, it fills niche in home affairs cannot be replaced by the largest daily. When you pick up the Gateway and read where Bill Jones has off the grade and Tom Smith has erected garage have you stopped to reflect the work required compile just two items. reporter may have walk several blocks to get the facts concerning Bill, as far in the other direction to meet Tom. Then it must be written up, placed in type and printed.
 DO you know that the average cannot give you three items in interview Think how many man must be to compile a column of personals. To be it is all in the days work and no con- cern to the who idly it the paper aside If people were better informed about making up @ newspaper they would appreciate it more. It rep resents hours of work and outlay of money. There is business that requires initial outlay produce small results.

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 2.-Moonshine whiskey is raising the death mark in Butte at an alarming rate and unna- tural causes have joined with illicit liquor in sending 19 more local peo- pie to their graves during the first nine months of this year than dur ing the same period in 1921, accord ing to figures compiled by the city health office.
 During last July, August and Sep- tember five men and one woman died from alcoholism, according to the death certificates received at the Of flee, and at leas 12 more deaths re- flee, and at least 12 more deaths re- the same cause.

ANNOUNCING THE FATHERS

"We are not more than pistol shot from the blood -drenched conditions which they are experiencing in Ireland l appear III thls town and find men hating each other, one man being hated because he IS a Catholic, another because he is a Klansman, and the community torn by the enmities which our forefathers gave their lives to get rid of. '' So spoke Governor Henry Allen, of Kansas, yesterday, in town of his own state, and gave voice to a situation which Is full of menace to the very foundations of American life
 If there is one thing for which the United States of America has been distinguished among all nations, that thing IS relg1ous llb- ertv. It is the thing which the first settlers on the American continent rsked the perlls of an unknown ocean and the hafdshlps of a strange, new land, to secure. It IS the thlng which, throughout the nations history, has made this country the sanctuary for the op- pressed and persecuted of the earth 1t IS the thing which has given to American life that sanity and security in personal rights which have made ours great and powerful nation That at this period Ill its history there should creep into tile sanctuary the serpent of religious and racial in0lerance, IS fact which should be stamped upon by every citizen of the nation in whom there still exists an iota of Americanism.
 The organization known as the Ku klux Klan may have for it's aims honorable and patriotic motives It may be inspired in it's purposes by a condition which threatens the existence of free American institutions. With its avowed championship of these there IS no quarrel. But with it's methods and procedure there must De taken vigorous and definite eX- ception If there are dangers threatening the liberties and institutions of the people, secrecy is not the medicine for them. Ii there are conditions which demand action, that ac- ton is the responsibility of the whole people, not of any self arrogating secret order. If there are injustices to be punished the pun ishment is the concern of the law and not of the lawess. In the legal and political ma chinery of the American commonwealth there is every means for dealing with such condi- tions, and an enlightened public opinion will see that they are dealt with. There is no occasion for any self-styled patriotic order, operating in secret and in disguise to take upon itself the protection of. American insti- tutiOnS.
 In the masked by night operations of the Ku KluN I\Ian there are sufficient reasons to condemn it, But when by it's own proclama- tion it declares war against Jews, Catholics and members of alien races, it announces it. self as striking at the root of, the principles on which American liberties are founded. Such an organization is not patriotic but the con- trarv. and is inimical to all for which the American nation stands The proceeding is one which, could they know of it, would make our forefathers turn in their graves.
