"U,re thBn f0Urteen '"ilt,s-if 11"" the following to say concerning the inimedl'
ate needs and prospective future of the party:
Island people can be induced to construct am
operate it. But they are asking the moral sup
port at least of the Lawton Chamber of Com-
merce—they want direct transportation facili-
ties from Lawton and they believe their busi-
ness would be an advantage to this city.
About this latter fact, there can be no doubt.
Grandfield, but seven months old, is already one
of the livest country towns in this section of the
state and is surrounded by a productive region
owned by thoroughly progressive farmers. Be
fore the Wichita Falls and Northwestern road
was constructed through there and the people
ot hschiti, one of the parent towns, Lawton
wholesale interests secured much of the busi-
ness from there. With the completion of the
compromise which placed the new town 011 a
railroad, Lawton was cut olT from this business.
Were the Rock Island extended as proposed,
Lawton wholesale interests could again tap that
productive region of the pasture country, now
mud) more important by rapid growth, and a
material asset would thus be added to this
city's business.
I he least Lawton could do is to give her mor-
al support to the movement—she has an abund-
ance of that—and every effort should be put
forth to induce the Rock Island management to
accept the proposition of the Grandfield people.
A number of wholesale!* here have even signi-
fied their willingness to contribute to the Grand
field fund. Several mouths ago, the Rock N
hind officials were unwilling to muk
sions but it is believed that these condition*
have now changed and that were proper in flu
ences brought to bear, the extension would bt
made.
Here's one chance where but little effort
f'ould bring material gain. Every additional
railroad, no matter how small, when it taps ad-
ditional territory for Lawton, brings added ad-
vantages which will ultimately combine to form
here a center of industrv.

W bat the party wants now is more issues
on which we can all agree. Fewer on which we
disagree. Because we have met with many re-
verses in the last 41) years we must not accept

LESSON FROM A BLIND MAN
(Albany. N. Y„ Times-Union)
At Washington, Thomas P. (lore, the blind
senator from Oklahoma, taught the world a val-
uable lesson. It is the lesson of the wonders
that can be wrought by patience and persever-
ance. Here is a blind man, who can see neither
to read or write, proving himself a veritable
master of debate against the Samsons of the
senate. Xor was bis mastery limited only to
oratorical power, but also to a wonderful niar-
slialsbip of facts and figures. Before bis wit,
sarcasm and knowledge Senators Klkins. Scott
and McCumber went down like ten pins. They
were tin soldiers up against i\ true warrior. Ad
mitting that, perhaps, little or no credit is due
Gore for his marvelous natural abilities, still we
submit that to him is due no end of credit for
the wealth of information he has stored up in
his mind under the handicap of blindness. For
years this has been the boast of Oklahoma and
to the rest of the country it seemed queer that
this progressive young state should select from
her thousands of able sons a blind man to repre-
sent her in the senate. What can a blind man
do in the 1 nited States senate, was the gener-
p1 query. Gore has shown what he can do. He
has verified the wisdom of Oklahoma's choice.
He has proved himsclt the peer of any man in
Washington in debate. He has become'a leader
at the capital city from the very first dav he
landed there. He recalls John Milton writing
"Paradise Lost" in his blindness. He emplia
sises the achievements of that brilliant blind
girl—Helen Iveller. He stands out as a model
to the young men of this land that given brains,
pationce and pluck they can do great things
though handicapped by the worst of adversitv
and the most deplorable of physical misfortunes
