A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Man's grand distinction Is his
Intellect his mental capacity. It
i; Is this which renders him highly
i and peculiarly responsible to his
Creator. Webster.
THE THIRTY-SIXTH STATE
To Tennessee belongs the honor of
being tho thirty-sixth state in the
union to ratify the Susan B. Anthony
amendment to the American Consti-
tution thereby imbuing that amend-
ment wiih life and making ' n law.
Of course at any time during the
next two days the house of repre-
sentatives of the Tennessee legisla-
ture may rescind its action of yes-
terday and reconsider Una vote by
whu.h it concuned In the previous
action of the senate a few days ago
and gave to millions of American
Women the right to exercise the grnat-
est privilege accorded by the Con-
stitution to the citizens of tills na.
tion.
The right of the women of the
United States to have a voice in the
selection of those who shall handle
the country's business has been ac-
corded for years by all the fair-
minded men.
Women taken as a class have been
.important factors in the development
of this great western world ever
since the first settlers landed upon
the shores in the east almost five
centuries ago. They helped to carve
ti successful country from a wilder-
ness and to make this the most beau-
-tiful land upon which the sun of
Universe shines. They have lent to
the men the needed guiding influence
and have invaded and made belter
and more honest and honorable the
business world.
And in the states in which tho
right by amendment of slate con
stitutlon has already been given to
the Women their votes have shown
that they believe in good government
administered by good nun and that
they are therefore belter qualified
"to aid in the selection of the ones
who shall handle the affairs of state
than are many of the men who have
exercised the privilf-ue for many years.
. Tennesson's legislators are to be
! congratulated for making theirs the
final state the necessary state re-
quired to make suffrage a legal right
for women and it is to be sincerely
hoped that there will be no rescinding
of yesterday's action no "taking
back" of what lias been done of the
good which has bt-en accomplished.
etc. and gave the opinions oC H. B.
Gates of Dtillas. Texas and V. D.
Potter i if Ardmore upon the race
for governor of Texas and upon the
chances of Joseph V. Bailey winning
that race.
In the story Mr. Oates was opposed
to Mr. Failey in his views while
Mr. Potter favored him. Over the
opinicn of Mr. Potter ns it appeared
in type was the sub head "A Demo-
cratic Opinion." This subhead was
written und should have been printed
"A Diametric Opinion."
The Atdmoreite does not care to
take issue for or against Mr. Bailey
in the Texas contest. The Ardmore-
ite is published In Oklahoma and has
therefore no interest In whom the
people of Texas may choose us their
governor but Tho Ardmoreite certain-
ly would not under any circumstances
sub-head any opinion lauding Mr.
Bailey us "A Democratic Opinion."
NINE GOOD REASONS
AX APOLOGY
Tho Ardmoreite owes Its Demo-
cratic readers an apology for an error
which appeared in a sub-head of a
news story which appeared in yes-
terday's Issue. The story referred
to was carried under the head "Two
Men Familiar With Texas Politics"
(By J. S. Mullen)
1
The Democratic party has shown
itself to be the friend of labor by
the passage of remedial laws to cure
existing evils.
2
It has shown Itself to be the friend
of the farmer by enactment of legis-
lation favorable to the development
of his affairs.
3
It has shown itself to be the friend
cf capital by the creation of laws
that wiil nlike help business and
large enterprises. The Federal Re-
serve Act in my Judgment is the
most salutary statute since the foun
datlon of the government
4
Its management of the World War
with few petty exceptions to bo ex
pected and discounted evidences the
fact Indisputably that it is capable
of the conduct of intricate and dilfi
cult affairs.
5
Democratic government stands for
states' rights for a diffusion of the
governing power whereas the Repub
lican principle admittedly is one of
strong centralized power at Wash
ington.
e
The Democratic party stands for a
tariff that will admit only of buying
our goods in the cheapest market
whereas the Republican is one advo
eating the idea of selling in the
highest market.
7
With or without reservations three
fourths of the people of this country
wish to enter the league of nations.
The Democratic party is the father of
and the sponsor for this greatest ex
perhnent in the history of the race.
8
In the animal creation Darwin
long ago announced his "Theory of
Evolution." In the government of
men the Democratic party as firmly
as justly and as logically announces
and insists that the necessity of evo
lutional processes which may not be
successfully resisted only at the cost
of material social and moral consid
erations direct tho creation of this
tribunal as now contemplated for the
arbitrary settlement of International
questions.
9
The Democratic party believes In
looking forward. The Republican
party is reactionary. The Democratic
party believes in the development of
all the people; the Republican In that
of the few.

Editorial
of the Day
(From Memphis Commercial Appeal!
Time was when Owner Hardini
was wont to write the editorial as
well as make up the front page.
Hern and now we suggest that
Candidate Harding who gava place
to Printer Harding yesterday give
place to Editor Harding som-i day
soon before the cares of running foi
office become too great.
This nation would thoroughly er.
joy reading an editorial column cer-
tified as written by Editor Harding.
Such a column would be copied wideb
and honor given to every editorial
writer.
In particular would this be true
if Editor Harding would choos? lor
the title of his leading article
"Harding Accepts" and proceed to
give a definite and concise interpre-
tation of the passages in the accep-
tance speech of Candidate Hardins
defining his attitudes on the league
of nations.
It must be admitte-d that other
editors have made a frightful mess
of this interpretation. If the Eiitor
of the Marion Star would he shoul-J
be ijjle to give a better interprets
tion .of obscure wording than any
other eelitor. however erudite.
"What did he mean?" is a question
that puzzles more than ono editor.
Hardly any two seem to arrive at
precisely the same conclusion Editoh
Harding could speak with authority.
Will not Editor Harding of tho
Marion Star add a second reel to his
typographical moving picture show-
ing him seated with pen in hand or
in front of the typewriter preparing
copy for his editorial? A good edi-
torial in the Star might have as
great an effect on history as any ?dl-
torial ever printed in the United
States.
