conditions it is safe to forecast the
successful carrying out of all prom-
ises which the new coimnurcial body
has made or will make.
Ardmore has many natural advan-
tages and offers a home for many
new industries and enterprises. The
Chamber of Commerce can secure

that passes over the devils' back also j
comes under his belly.

The editor is popularly sup-
posed to Si-e everything bear

publish everything that is going
ci.. Cm sometimes he doesn't
see It doesn't want lo see it
because being an editor and train-
ed to weigh all angles of every
question he knows that it is bit-
ter for the community if he does
not bee It. There are many things
the editor does not publish be-
cause they contain no element 'f
news are distressing to many in-
nocent people and their publi-
cation could serve no good pur-
pose. Sometimes the editor is
criticised for his forl'aiance but
at least some of bis critics do not
stop to remember that possibly
tin? paper Is just as forbearing
regarding an incident or two of
I heir own lives. There are many
tilings to be considered before put-

There are several mouthsful of hon-
est high-minded thought in the fore-
going extract from the Texarkanian's
editorial.
Yellow journalism possibly pays In
ihe larger cities in the matter of
dollars and cents but yellow journal-
hn In city or country never lias
paid and never will pay moral divi-
dends. The editor who is a conscientious
upright honor-loving man would as
soon stoop to talking behind his neigh-
bor's back as to malign that neigh-
bor through publishing as news any
of tlio secret histories which sleep
with the family skeleton in the dark
closets.
Wo are free to acknowledge that
this is a sordid world with many
sordid-minded people helping to make
up its population. The sordid-minjed
element loves to read of scandals and
takts delight in dwelling upon the
sterns of shame which may be
brought to light against their erst-
while friends and neighbors.
Hut the World is not all bad and

"uotifiers."

HOW OIJ) IS ANN IN lOIJTICS?
(Fi-om the Woman Citizen)
A hundred years ago women were
fierce partisans of Andy Jackson
in. his race for the presidency and
followed his lead for economy by
wearing calico dresses with medallions
of his head stamped on it. As Jack-
son was a democrat and there was no
republican party it is hard to say
In which political group woman's
participation began.
The advent of women Into republl
can party politics seems to date back
to 18S8 during the campaign of Ben-
jamin Harrison. Women then appar
ently for the first time issued cam
paign literature. A series of pumph
lets appealing to women and men alike
was prepared. They were known as
the "Home and Flag" series.
In 1894 republican women entered
heartily into an antt-Tamany cam
paign in Greater New York. Re-
publicans nnd liberal democrats united
on a fusion candidate. Mrs. Jose
phlne Shaw Lowell organized the
women who arranged meetings and
financed themselves. The fusion forces
won.
The following year 1S95 Miss Hel
en Varick lioswell was elected a dele-
gate from New York to the conven
tion of (he national league of republl
can clubs in Chicago. So unprece-
dented was this step that it was
deemed necessary ifor her to take
chaperon to the convention. At that

life while the electric fan cools your

and submit the argument to practical
demonstration.

Telephone Operators Strike
Liberty Mo. June 1. Most of the
operators at the local telephone com-
pany failed to report for work this
morning following refusal of the com-
pany to grant a demand for increased
wages. Two sisters Miss Ruth and
Miss 7 lot Nicholson both operators
are said to head the opposing factions
among the te!eph"no operators one
of which favors cessation of work and
the other of which is opposed to such
action.
Colorado and Wyoming
In 189C. the year of the McKinley
campaign the New York state repub
lican committee opened headquarters
for women on Hroadway. This was
the first time women of New York
took an active part in a presidential
campaign. Campaign music was ej
peclally adapted for women Just
about this time. When women spoke
at political meetings the band always
played "Her Golden Hair Was Hang-
ing Down Her Back."
During that year the women started
the tenement house method of cam-
pairing starting at the bottom of
one building and going up until the
roof was reached when the trip across
the roof and fhe descent into the next
building would begin. Hordes of moth-
ers und babies followed the speakers
through the tenements.
Women's headquarters were main-
tained by the republican national com-
mittee in Chicago and Denver dur-
ins this 'campaign.
At the republcan convention in Phil-
adelphia in 1900 when McKinley was
renominated a large number of wom-
en was present and special women
offices were maintained. Then it was
that Colonel Roosevelt was nminated
for the vice-presidency.
President McKinley appointed the
first woman to hold a national office
in the United States Miss Kstelle Reel
of Oregon as national superintendent
of Indian schools.
In 1912 when the democrats for the
first time brought women into the
campaign women were also exceed-
ingly active in the republican and In
the newly formed progressive party.
In 1916 when Charles Evans Hughes
was the candidate of the republican
party .women were voting In many
states. They campaigned in true poli-
tical fashion
In 1920 women will have a Wg
share in platform making for the re.
publican party. Nineteen women have
been appointed members of the plat-
form and policies committee to aid
In presenting ideas for the platform
which the republican party will adopt
in June..
