AND KLBY ARE PRAISED BY CONVENTION SP

able lives is the most important work
ahead of u.s.
Law Enforcement
Legislation Is not the panacea for
all ills. The father of our party
declared, That country Is best gov
erned which is least governed" We
have passed so many laws, and at
tempted to regulate so many spheres
of activity, that 1t has become most
difficult, If not impossible, to avoid
the violation of some regulatory
statute. The outstanding demand is
not for the enactment of more laws
but for the better enforcement of
those we have.
The crying need of the hour Ia for
more respect for law and for better
law enforcement. This end cannot
be wholly secured by the passage of
more laws. The subject requires fun
damental treatment 1t should begin
in the home. Judge Grub, one of
the ablest jurists in the United
States, a close observer and clear
thinker, recently pointed out that the
loosening of parental control and
the relaxing of parental discipline
was the first step in the life of the
young citizen in the direction of dis
regard for the laws of the land The
first lesson in respect for restraint
and for observance OF rules and reg
ulations is supposed to be taught in
the sacred circle of the home.
II that lesson is not learned 1t Is
easy to adopt a convenient attitude
towards the laws of the state which
permits the same kind of indiffer-
ence to their violation. Though tful
observers agree that law enforce
ment is best advanced by prompt ard
certain punishment OF the guilty
The criminal dockets should be-
cleared without delay and when
necessary the governor should have
authority to appoint special judges
for the purpose of giving quick trials
to all persons charged with crime.
Swift punishment. though not SO
serious, is a greater deterrent than
fear of long deferred severe punish
nent. In England most murder
cases. including appeals, are finally
disposed of within 80 days from the
commission of the alleged offense.
AS a result there are fewer murders
in all of England than in the state
of Alabama.
We need a great campaign of edu-
cation in this state to rebuild and re-
establish a sincere and earnest re-
spect for law and for the consistent
and prompt enforcement of all the
laws on the statute books. No gov
eminent can long survive when Its
laws are treated with contempt by
the people. The most potent agen-
cies for securing better law enforce
ment are the press. the pulpit, the
courts and the homes.

WASHINGTON. The hope
that the administration will not
continue to procrastinate longer
and will fulfill the promise made
in the last national election and
pass the veterans adjusted com.
pensation bill without delay" is
expressed by Edwin S. Bettle-
helm, Jr., chairman of the ma.
tional legislative committee of the
veterans OF foreign wars in let.
ter to President Harding made
public today.
Mr.. Bettelhelmer said that he
was just in receipt of n report
showing that 10000 of the 10000
former service men i'm Cuyahoga
county, Ohio. who applied for the
adjusted compensation voted by
the state Of Ohio were unemploy-
ed.
"If this Is indicative OF the con.
dition existing throughout the
country. the letter said, 'it would
mean that approximately two mil.
lion OF the ex.servlce men are
out OF employment. How many OF
these are in destitute circum.
stances would be hard to tell,
but the report shows good many
were unable to pay their rents and
We're dependent upon odd jobs and
the good favors Of others. "Thls
example from one Of the larger
counties in your home state is
typical of the condition OF the
former service men throughout
the country"

A. H. s. TACKLES
FORT WORTH Hi

Facing their toughest assignment
Of the year. Coach Dorsey Boyle's
Ardmore high school basketball squad
is training hard for the Tits with
Fort Worth Central high, which will
be an attraction OF Friday and Sat-
urday nights at the Junior high gym.
The local basketeers, after starting
the season in a blaze Of glory, by tri.
umphing over Ringing and the three
conference opponents, Pauls Valley,
Chickasha and Lawton, suddenly
struck streak Of hard luck and
dropped four games in row. These
losses were to the Atoka, Altus and
Marietta squads. However, with an
added improvement in both offensive
and defensive power, with the result
that three consecutive victories have
been wrested from Norman and Ada,
the Ardmore five hopes TO put up a
fierce fight against their powerful
Texas rivals"
The Longhorn lineup is unavailable
at this time, but the following squad
will probably start the game for A.
II. S.: Sullivan and Slough, forwards;
Hamilton. center; and Irby and Cap
tain Dulaney, guards. Hamilton is
new to basketball. but in the past
two games he has shown a lot of de.
fensive power. The others are vet.
erans.
The games are the last which the
local youngsters will participate in
before leaving for the southeastern
tournament at Durant.

Political Pot
A-Simmering
(By OBSERVER.)


The political pot is simmering and
almost daily there is more ingredients
being put into the broth.
1t appears that the race for repre-.
sentative is going to be hotly contest.
ed this year. Maybe. the stories grow.
ing out Of the last session of the leg.
islature have something to do with It.,
Maybe, some of the Carter county men
want to move into the capital city to
enjoy the quietitude of the great
marble building on the hill.
r. j. Pollock is one OF those who
would like TO so 10 Oklahoma City in
the role Of representative, it is said.
In fact, he is favorably mentioned
and il appears that he will receive the
support of his many friends.
Guy Sigler, who has just come out
of the Garrett custer case after a
mix.up with the assistant attorney
general, would not balk If he were
urged TO make the race. Just at this
time, he hesitates TO say whether he
will have his hat in the ring, but it
is generally supposed it will be there
when the starting shot is fired.
The present holder of these honors
is reticent, but is said by some that
he will be well groomed and in line
when the course is cleared.
Next comes the office OF district
Judge. Judge Tom Champion is pretty
sure TO retire and 1t is limited that he
will enter the oil game, since he was
one of the incorporators Of a new
company recently granted a charter.
There has been lot Of criticism di.
rected at Judge Champion, too. as
well as a number Of county officers,
including James II. Mathers, who was
once mentioned as a possible candi-
date for the judgeship.
Judge A. Eddleman is regarded as
contender for the office. He is re-
garded as one man able to please both
of the factions now functioning in
this county. 1t is believed that he
will have the support Of the majority
OF the attorneys, and he is sure to
bring his many friends to his support
in the campaign.
And, in the meantime, the agi-
tators are looking around for more
possible contenders.

1.-THE tubercular sanitarium at Sui
phur for tubercular ex.service men,

ceptance by the commission the latter
part Of April. Although there has
been a little delay due TO inclement
weather and slowness in delivery OF
some OF the materials, the entire in
stitution will be completed within the
time specified in the contrac..
THE commission considers the Sc.
lection of a superintendent for the
Sulphur sanitarium TO be one Of the
most important problems confronting
II. The successful operation Of the
institution will depend largely upon
this man and he must be a man Of
the highest professional and executive
ability as we'll as of high moral char
acter. The commission is very anxious
to receive a large number OF appli.
cations for this position from persons
who are qualified. The selection must
be made shortly and the commission
hopes applicants viii send in their
applications promptly.
Plans Almost Complete.

Soldiers Memorial Hospital 10 be
built at Muskogee are practically
completed and the commission viii
meet at Muskogee Monday. March
6 TO approve them. This is the large
hospital for which 100000 was ap.
propriated Bids will be advertised
for promptly upon approval of the
plans and specifications and the con.
tract should be let within three weeks
thereafter. Progress on this institu.
tion was delayed because of the fact
that the bill passed by the legislature
did not permit any money OH this
work 10 be expended until six months
after the appropriation was made. II
was also necessary TO arrange with
the U. $. Veterans Bureau TO have
them agree TO lease the institution
when completed and approve the
plans. This was accomplished and
the state Of Oklahoma is now assured
that II will cost the state nothing TO
equip or operate the hospital and that
the state win receive return OF

that the eX.service men and other
citizens OF the state OF Oklahoma
should have full report OF the work
