LETTER
KNOX'S
DEFEATS CHANDLER
The following from Mr. Geo. W.
Knox was received this morning by
the writer and is duly appreciated,
and we only submit it for publication
for this reason.
We want every citizen of Norman
to fully understand that we are try-
ing to represent your interests and
trying to be your humble servant in
furthering the interests of Norman
as a whole city.
All that has been done in the past,
and all that may be done in the fu-
ture in the way of beautifying Nor-
man, will be done prompted by the
public spirit of the citizens of Nor-
man.
We earnestly ask that you keep
this thought clear in your minds.
It is not the writer, but you
From Tuesday's Daily.
The Norman high school debating
team, upholding the negative side of
the question, "Resolved, That the
Monroe Doctrine as it has been en-
forced should be continued as a part
of the permanent foreign policy of
the United States," defeated the team
from Chandler by the decision of 2 to
1. The Chandler team put up a good
fight, having excellent arguments,
while the Norman boys had fully as
good argument, delivered their
speeches well and outclassed the visi-
tors' rebuttal. Miss Davis was the
best speaker for Chandler, not only
having a good speech, but also ex-
cellent delivery. All the Norman boys
showed up about the same, the team
| being very evenly balanced. The mem.
th„t!bers of the visiting team were Miss
Ball, Mr. Moore and Miss Davis. The
OK
OF
deserves credit, and we want to thank — - - _ nf i..i,n it
Mr. Knox for his confidence and sub- ^:^^^yWaFLTp^uett :°nd Conrad
stantial support.
Norman is coming.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
Even the able editors of the big
papers in the effete East have
strange ideas about Oklahoma. Here
is an editorial from the Evening Sun
of Baltimore, Md., sent us by Mrs.
W. C. Smith, formerly of this town,
now of Guthrie, who is visiting her
son and daughter-in-law, Mr. _ and
Mrs. Geo. Smith, who now reside in
Baltimore. She writes:
"I thought perhaps you might be
amused at the enclosed editorial,
written, no doubt, by a man who has
never been further west than the
Blue Ridge. Who is the 'female head
of education?' This is a beautiful and
interesting old place, but they could
learn much from our new and pro-
gressive government; perhaps even
profit by our mistakes. I am return-
ing to Oklahoma next week, after a
delightful vacation."
The editorial is headed "Onward
and Upward" and says:
"Oklahoma has the initiative, the
referendum, the recall, woman suf-
frage, prohibition, Senator Gore, a
socialistic female head of education
and sundry other blessings of pro-
gressivism and the uplift: it has even
been judicially purged of the Grand-
father Clause, and still it does not
weary in well-doing. Legislation is
now being inaugurated to save the
old and the young from the deadly
perils and sin of cigarette smoking.
"This is, of course, just a begin-
sanctification

MOB VIOLENCE FEARED.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 22, 1917.
Mr. L. J. Edwards,

My Dear Mr. Edwards:
Upon my return to tlie city, I find
Mount. The judges were Prof. Reeves,
Prof. Rader and Dr. Scroggs. Only an
average audience heard the home
boys in their initial appearance, and
it is hoped now, since they have
shown what they can do, that greater
interest will be manifested along this
line.
The next debate will be here next
Monday night, when the winners of
