In ArJmore on last Saturday.
Judge Gait had before him seven
n.n charted with drunkenness. They
' "11 convicted. Some of theae
men pay their flnea and some do
not. The law as It staads at prea
ent promotes all kinds of litigation.
The Ardmorelte does not advocate
the use of liquor or its sale. But
It does suggest that prohibition as
It at present exists is ridiculous.
Aad It venturea to remin-1 Its r eid
ers that the class of people -lom
it waa eipected prohibition would
benefit receive bo advantage from
It at all and that thoe whom it
was designed to Injure are the di
rect beneficiaries of prohibition. The
men who sell Iquor now make more
money than they ever did. Their mar
Bin of profit Is much larser. Their
expenses are much lower. The laws
alk-w them an ample margin for
escape in the event of their arrest
and the convictions that aocrue, from
arrests amount to about ten per cent
of tbe whole.
What can we do?
Have we not chosen the evil of
which we know not, rather thsn the
evil of which we know?
ABOUT THE HAIRY AND WOOLY
VARIETY.
The proposition to divide the sheep
and goats comes as a very welcome
one. There can be very little trouble
in doing this we think. Nor ttn
there be any difficulty in placlnx
with tho hairy animal the man who
aupiortei the democratic candidate
for the gubernatorial chair from this
town; who presented to that candi
date a bill of 12.000 for services ren
dered during the campaign and then
switched to the opposite party, bit
terly denouncing the democratic can
Jidate who won the nomination Gov
ernor Haskell and accepted J 500
from the republican party tor his
support of Krsntz in his race for
the office, of chief executive of the
state. Heaven only, knows what
phase of mentality could allow such
conduct, but it tnay be that tbe same
attitude allows the party in question
to consider that he himself Is a
candidate for entry among tbe wooly
class of animals named.
Tbe Ardmorelte was consistent In
that campaign in Its support of the
nominee of the democratic party and
It presented no bill for services ren
dered, nor did it make overtures
for any such remuneration. It were
better that it be a pauper and have
honor than fatten in dishonor. But
the Judas In politics comes Into his
own iu time just as fully and com
pletely as the Judas of whom we
are told in the good book. And the
Ardmorelte Is constantly gaining in
hon t In the city and in the state
while but it wer tiieleas to ex
patiate upon the opinion of the out
side press with reference to (he
chameleon morning newspaper with
which the city Is unfortunately af
flicted. (vei

It was aaM by th- gentlemen her'
In Ardmore. that Dallas had arrlvM
at the milennlum and that the word
politics had been eliminated from '
every book within the city's border.'
That no tongue spoke it and that
political tore had been superseded by'
the golden rule.
What means then, this A-hlsper t hot ,

the effect that a Kreat

gentlemen of the democratic faith had
shaken off the lethargy sad Ktupor
Oku was commonly supposed to have
affected them, and proclaimed to a
horror strlckon world of non-partisans
that they were out for a democratic
primary election for a mayor and
commissioners?
And It Is true! The democrats
down there may Ik? assailed by every
name that the non-partisan dictionary
Is stocked with, but they havo arisen
again from their lethargy. They scorn
any longer to bo the victims of a
party skilled In illtleal s and

A mighty pood way for our city
to raise a lot of money, and at the
same time get rid of a whole lot
of worthless dogs, would be to Im
pose a heavy tax on each dog and
let tho dog catcher get busy. The
man who owns a good dog will
gladly pay and the worthless ones
ought to be klllel. Sulphur Evening

The dog tax is an old method of
adding to a city's revonuo and a a
good one.
So far the Herald ha not been

to get It Just as soon as they are
old enough to leave home. Give your
boys a chance. Durant Dally News.
This idea of putting ap remlum on
the labor of the farmer's boy Is a
very good one. It Is tho profit shar
ing system that interests the worker
and gets from him his best labor.
The people have spoken.
The sound made last night at the
court house In that wonderful over
flow meeting of the business and
professional men of this city, will
bo obeyed.
Thoro was no uncertain feature
about It. The people are dissatisfied
with the manner In which the tvater
system Is being handled, and they
demand that the wells be tested
until there! no possibility of a
question concerning the water. After
that they demand that If the wells
are abandoned the city officials go
to the Klamlchl river to get the
supply. Hugo Dally News.

Op"ratIons for farming seem to
be very well advanced and indica
tions aro that there has been more
and better preparations for the com
ing crop than ever before. The very
air seems to inspire confidence and
encourage the expectation of a good
harvest, for 1909. Tho year gives
promise of greater progress and pros-

Good logic.
Republicans are planning to raise
revenue to meet the deficit created
by their reckless extravagance, by
laying a tariff of five cents per
pound on coffee. A more unjust tax
could not be devised. Under It the
laborer who earns $1.30 per day
will pay as much or moro of tho tax
than the millionaire. However, iu, .
has always been tho republican pol
icy to tax the necessities of life and
let the luxuries go free. Ada Weekly

Being asked about this great state

"Oklahoma Is a 'humJIngor:' she

east to the west; she could put Col
orado in her vest pocket, she could
swallow three or four states like
