LOCAL FREIGHT SCHOOL.
The Santa Fe Railway company has
arranged to make its station here
and every other station on the sys
tem a M'hool for the purpose of In-
creasing the efficiency of its freight
service. Trained men acting under
the direction of the general superin-
tendents will give instruction to sta-
tion agents depot employes trainmen
and others having to do with the
transportation of freight regarding
modern methods of loading and
stowing shipments. In addition to
coaching employes tlu'se experts
and the agents also will give infor-
mation to shippers when asked to
do so about scientific methods of
preparing shipments for transporta-
tion. The station agent will be at
the head of the local school. Reports
at a recent conference of Santa Fe
officials showed that the plan had
been tried out successfully In several
localities. Wherever experiments
were made shippers took a deep In-
terest In tho plan and adopted the
necessary rules for co-operating with
the railway company. It was de-
rided therefore to make the move-
ment system-wide. Manufacturers
wholesale dealers and other large
shippers have reported that their cus-
tomers are greatly pleased with the
change from the "calch-as-catch cnn"
system of loading and stowing freight
In cars and the more or less care-
less manner of preparing small shi-
ments for transportation to the mod-
ern met hods recommended by the
Santa Fe.
PETROLEUM WAR FUEL
War teaches Its lessons in many
ways. Nations at peace are watch-
ing closely the military developments
in the use of fire arms the use of
new Inventions nnd the use of petrol-
eum as fuel.
With the almost general adoption
of oil as fuel for the new ships of the
United States. American officers are
watching with keen Interest the part
(hat oil Is playing in the Kuropean
war. While making no comment
because it would be a breach of neu-
trality they have been thinking about
the claim of the Knglisli that their

Petroleum Is a great factor in the

the introduction of petroleum as fuel
Since 1907 all torpedo boat destroy

Petroleum is being used as fuel
on several Kuropean railroads. Pos
sibly liecause of the limited supply
Germany is not using oil when coal
can be obtained.
It appears from the decided success
of oil ns a liquid fuel that all nations
will sooner or later adopt it in place
of coal. Il can be handled with
greater ease it Is more effective as
a heat producer and there is less
waste about it.
American naval officers who have
been watching the Knglish warships
using petroleum express themselves
as being more than satisfied. So
favorable are their views that all
fut.ure ships to be built by the United
States will be oil consuming battle-
ships. And this may be but thelie-

Is 'It Democracy?
ilt is conceded by all great his-
torians and philosophers that there
is but one great reason for the pres-
ent somnambulistic state of the great
nation of China nnd that Is her
rigid policy of following absolutely
in the footsteps of the dwellers of
that nation who lived five thousand
years ago. I called It her iliey
while literally it has become her re-
ligion. In possibly a more modified state
we have a groat number of ordinarily
intelligent men in this country who
embrace tho same principles. For
instance In Sunday's Ardmorelte on
several different pages we read
articles written by the editor and
other prominent men in the commun-
ity in which they try to impress upon
us that we are under a certain ob-
ligation to vote a straight ticket
in accordance with the way we have
registered our opinions on govern-
ment Issues. After a careful perusal
of these articles I failed to find one
comment upon tho fitness or unfit
ness of the men running for office.
Neither did I read anything of the
needs of the community. The only
thing I could glean from the opin
ions expressed by these men was
that there was some great reason why
we were honor bound to vote a
straight ticket regardless of our ideas
concerning the men who were aspir
ing to office.
In other words because I believe
as I no mat tne policies eniiiracen
liv Wood row Wilson are in harmony
with the growth and prosperity of a
nation. 1 am to sacrifice what I
believe to be for the best intere s
of mv family my friends and my
town's general welfare rather than
allow my eyes to open wide enough
to get an unprejudiced view of con-
ditions in their true state and vote
accordingly. And we are told by
these gentlemen that we are 'honor"
bound to shut out all vestiges of
fairness as we see it. to refuse to
see the best Interests of our com
munity. If necessary because we have
expressed an opinion that our na
tional government may be mostp rof-
ited by operating with a high or
low tariff and corresponding princl
pies as the case may be.
For example again: Iiefore the
organization of the progressive party
tho socialists were the only ones who
carried the plank of woman suffrage
In their platform. If 1 might believe
then that my wife or mother was
able to vote as Intelligently as my
negro servant I must necessarily vote
tho socialist ticket. This perhaps
Is not the fairest Illustration that
might lie used as woman suffrage is
a question which has resulted from
advanced civilization and is being
submitted to the people independent-
ly from any party but I think It il
lustrates my point. I am not working
in the interests of any candidate
My grandparents were all democrats
and I shall be a democrat just as
long ns I feel that my votu is be ng
cast for men who are in "larmony
with principles of good government
Hut any serious minded thinker
knows that there l.s little or no
political Issues to be handled in the
operating of the municipal affairs of
a city of ten or twenty thousand. 1
believe that the day is past for the
American thinker to vote a republl
can ticket because his father did
Our great iiolitical thinkers do not
hesitate to endorse planks In the
platforms of parties other than their
own and In my opinion there is no-
thing that will retard the growth of
nation state or city more surely
than casting their vote in opposition
to their ow-n best judgment and 1
should hate to (believe that the politi
cal articles published in Sunday's
Ardmorelte were a representative

CONTESTS ON APRIL NINTH
Tishomingo Okla. April 4. John
ston county's fifth annual athletic
meet will be held at the Murray
state of agriculture Tishomingo Ok-
lahoma. April 9. This is one of
the largest county meets in the state
and extended preparations have
been made to make this the most
successful ever held in the county.
The .Murray school has one of the
finest quarter-mile tracks in the state.
Its present width gives twelve men
a running path of four feet each
The entire track is almost perfectly
level and four inches above the sur-
rounding ground. The field is equip-
Kd with two concrete weight rings
one iron vaulting standard one high
jumping standard of iron and a
broad jumping take-off concreted In
the ground.
The athletics are divided into two
classes one for boys until 11.1 pounds
in weight or under 1.1 years of age
and the other for all boys above
that up to 21 years of age. lie-
sides all the regular track and field
athletics there is a tennis tournament.
Last rvear there were over 100 con-
testants In athletics alone. This year
according to the entries that have
already come in there will be no
less than twenty schools and 2nd
contesta nts.
A great deal of interest is being
taken in the meet by the rural
schools this year. Professor Henry
D. Klnsland of the Murray school
who has directed the meet for three
years has made special effort to
interest the rural schools in this
event. Mr. Rinsland says that this
year the meet will be much larger
than last year and that in another
year it will be necessary to have
two days for the meet as new events
are being added and such a large
number of contestants are entering

aggressive. Johnson started one of
the cowboy's ears bleeding. The
champion landed frequently but his
blows appeared to lack their old-time
power. Amidst the feinting the crowd
shouted: "Kill the black bear." John
son immediately started a rally by
driving three hard hooks to Willard's
stomach. A left by Willard started
Jack's mouth bleeding. The latter
slugged the white man to the ropes
just as the round ended.
ROUND 10. Johnson "was slow in
coming from his corner. Willard
scored two lefts to the face. Jess
was blocking better and his nervous
ness appeared to have worn off. The
negro swung a lert to "Willard's ribs
and sent half a dozen blows to Will-
ard's body and jaw. The negro
knocked Wlllard to the ropes with
right and left swings to the stomach.
ROt'Np 11. The crowd derided
Johnson who was fighting and an-
swering back their sallies at the same
time. Willard drove a left to the
negro's mouth and took a right hook
to the body in return. The negro
smashed the cowboy with a left to
the jaw. Willard blocked several
swings. Johnson then tried to rattle
Willard by talking.
ROUND 12. The negro opened the
round to the body and right to the
jaw. In the clinch he smashed Wlll-
ard three times with his left. John-
son then drove a right to the body
and to the head.
klh im 13. willard s body was
now red from the effects of the pun
Ishment. The negro .ducking under
his opponent's leads continued to
play for the stomach. Jess drove
the negro into a corner and landed a
straight left to Johnson's face.
ROUND M. The round opened
with Willard rushing and missing a
right uppercut. The challenger was
the aggressor and tried to force the
fighting. Johnson slammed Willard
on the mouth with a left but Jess
only laughed.
ROUND 15. The crowd kidded
Johnson who rushed Willard to the
ropes and scored five hard swings re
marking "What a grand old man."
Willard grinned at the remark and al-
so at the blows accompanying it. The
bell found both men fighting in the
center of the ring.
ROUND 16. Johnson missed a left
to the head and they clinched. .The
hallenger blocked the negro's rush
imid much fighting. The black man
said "Willard is a good kid" and then
rushed Jess to the ropes scoring two
hard punches to the body. The negro
drove terrific swings to Willard's side.
The callenger was a trifle unsteady
In going to his corner at th end of
the round.
ROUND 17. Johnson hooked his
left to Willard's jaw and sent a
right uppercut to the same spot.
Willard landed a right to Johnson's
body and a left to the head. Willard
again scored with a right to the body
and blocked the negro's return. Jack
drove Willard to his corner lnndimr
two swings to the head.
ROUND 18. After playing a tattoo
on Willard's chest the negro drove
Willard to a corner where the negro
smashed him twice on the jaw. Will
ard's leads were easily blocked off
by the champion. After several tries.
Jess landed a straight left to the
negro's face and a right swing to
the jaw. At the bell Johnson landed
punches to the body and another to
the jaw.
ROUND i:l. Both the pugilists
slowed up p. bit in this round. Will
ard now was the aggressor. Johnson
stood in the middle of the ring and
blocked Willard's blows. During the
first minute not a single hard punch
was landed and Johnson seemed able
to divine Willard's every lead. The
negro then stariec a rally.
ROUND 20. Willard opened the
round with two light blows to the
negro's face. The crowd yelled:
"Hurry up; v.e want to see the ra-
ces." Willard drove hard right and
left.
ROUND 21 Johnson hooked left to
the body and Willard landed left.
Uoth were fighting for an opening at
the bell.
ROUND 22 The fight degenerated
into a slow sparring and clinching
battle. Neither appeared particu-
larly tired or Injured. Willard tried
setting the pace. In a clinch he bat-
tered the negro's body with rights
and lefts. Johnson only grinned.
Willard continued working for the
negro's stomach. Jack grinned at the
shrieking crowd. Nevertheless John-
son was showing the effects of the
pace.
ROUND 23. Willard rushed into a
clinch. Johnson held on until ordered
to break by the referee. The
