TWO FIRES IX CHANDLER
LAST WEEK.
Chandler, Oklahoma, Thursday, May 30. 1012
No. 13
Last Thursday evening about 9:30
the fire whistle aroused the people to
the fact that there was a fire intown
The barn belonging to J. W. Adams
on West Eighth caught fire from
some unknown cause and was burn-
ing in a big way when the fire de-
partment got there. However with
quick work, for which our boys are
making a state reputation, the fire
was soon under control and was put
out before anything else caught. Dr.
Adams says his loss will be about
• $000, partly covered by insurance,
$3',0 on the barn and $100 on the
contents. The exact cause as to the
fire is not known, but some think
that it was started from the hay
which was being stored in the loft.
Others say that a light wire may
have been the cause of it
IT. Adams made the department a
present of $25.00 to show his appre-
ciation of the good work they did in
saving the house.
At about 1:30 Sunday morning as
Dr. .Morgan was returning from a
visit to a patient in the country, he
discovered a Are in the home of E.
H. Lovely, on West Thirteenth. The
fire had evidently been burning on
the inside of the house for quite a
while before it was discovered, as
the household goods and inside
woodwork was almost totally de-
stroyed.
The fire department made a quick
run and had the fire under control
in thirty minutes after their arrival.
The south and west sides of the
house were pretty badly burned and
will have to be rebuilt. Mr. Lovely
carried an insurance of $700 on the
building and $300 on the contents.

"SQUARED."
We are in receipt of the follow-
ing communication from Mr. Stan-
wood :
R. 1, Stroud, Okla., May 24, 1912.
Chandler Tribune.
Dear Sir: I enclose editorials of
my New York World of May la, giv-
ing best democratic views of U. S.
Judge Hanford’s recent decision. If
you would publish it, that would
square you with the many socialists
of the county on that point.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
L. A. ST AN WOOD.
The following is the clipping sent
by Mr. Stanwood:
No Need to Get Excited.
There were 434,000 socialist
votes for president cast and counted
in 1908. There are socialist mem-
ist mayors in New York, Massa-
ist mayors in New York, Massa chu-
setts, Pennsylvania and other states,
and the sky has not fallen.
The people can turn the United
States into a solialist republic when-
ever the majority of them wish to
do so; meanwhile they can set up
limited socialism in any state as
the majority in that state
Nothing can hinder
soon as
so desire,
them.
There is no need, therefore, to
get excited over the action of a fed-
eral judge on the Pacific coast in
barring a socialist from naturaliza-
tion because of his political opin-
ions There is no danger of such a
decision becoming a precedent to af-
fect any lawabidlng man. The de-
of the

dellty as a citizen of the republic. iKan„ Thursday
Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Smith and the Boys' Band returned Mon-
day morning from Muskogee, where they attended the meeting of
the State Press Association.
The meeting was the largest in the history of the association
and there was not a dull moment from the time that President Hor-
ace Shepard, of Altus, called the first session to order till the close.
The two features of the proceedings hat stood out above all
others, was the disposition of the editors to discuss the cost of print-
ed products and to make “Cost Congress” a special feature, and the
other was to organize for the purpose of securing legislation favor-
able to the Press. It was emphasized that the press has more to do
toward electing the legislature than any other organization and
has asked less at the hands of the legislature, and received a less
proportion of what they did ask for. President Shepard strongly
emphasized that point and scored Governor Cruce for vetoing the
only bill that did pass for the benefit of the press. The work volun-
tarily performed by Secretary Bronson and Vice-President Smith
last session wi s warmly commended and there is no doubt that a
greater effort will be made the next session. In fact, President
Smith, in his short address of acceptance of the office of president
for the ensuing year, commented upon this matter and stated that
a stronger effort would be made than has been previously attempted.
Both the Republican and Democratic Press Associations provided for
legislative committees to work in conjunction with the regular
press association.
One of the best papers of the association was that of Mrs.
Lucy Eastman, of Chattanooga, on “The Woman in Journalism”.
It was full of common sense and showed conclusively that there was | Colo,
not only room for the woman but that there are departments in
which she is indespensible.
President Shepard covered himself with glory and, by his im-
partial and dignified manner, won the confidence and esteem of the
association.
E. S. Bronson, who for several years has been secretary, was
again re-elected. He will probably continue to be re-elected just as
long as he gives his consent, for it would be difficult to till his place.
G. A. Smith w’as unanimously elected president of the asso-
ciation, in fact there was no one else mentioned in connection with
the office and it has become a pretty well establihed custom to elect
the vice-president as president. A. L. Cates was elected vice-pres-
ident with a view to making him president next year. Mrs. Lucy
Eastman was elected second vice-president and Buck Campbell third
vice-president.
The last half day session was held in beautiful Hyde Park on
bank of the Arkansas just below the point w'here the Grand empties
its blue waters into the Arkansas.
Muskogee is a great city for entertainment and the citizens
did everything possible to make things pleasant for the visiting ed-
itors. Those w'ho danced were given a grand ball and one of the
most pleasant entertainments was the reception given at the beauti-
ful home of Miss Alice Robertson.
The Grid Iron Banquet at the Turner was one of the most suc-
cessful features. In the first place it was a real banquet w'ith the
very best of food cooked in the very best manner and well served.
Muskogee evidently did not consider the matter of expenses when
they prepared that feast.
Col. Clarence Douglas was toastmaster and only those who
have seen him preside can properly appreciate his special fitness for Mich.; Albert K Jenkins, Oklahoma
that position Several toasts w’ere responded to in an impromptu jCity; Luther Randol, Ardmore; Keith
manner and the Muskogee Press Club proceeded to put on a novel
entertainment with a “Please Court” with all police officers and
many grave editors were arrested and brought before the severe
judge on such charges as borrowing dress suits from head waiters
of hotels and kindred crimes. Nearly every one was convicted and
ordered to pay such penalty as reading his ow n editorials or some
other drastic punishment.
The Chandler Boys’ Band did not disappoint the citizens w'ho

A PRETTY WEDDING.

noon, at the home of Mr. and Mrs,

for the young couple and a host of

young people.
THE KANCXTAGTAGE CLUB.
This name is of Cherokee Indian
origin and is the tag by which a stu-
dent dramatic club recently organ-
ized at the state university of Okla-
hoam wishes to be known. The club
Is composed of undergraduates who
have scored hits In student theat-
ricals during the past year. Only
merit has been considered in select-
ing its members, and it is said to pos-
sess more talent than the average
stock company making the big west
ern towns. The primary purpose of
the organization is to encourage dra-
matic talent in the university and to
stage from time to time plays writ-
ten by Sooner students. Several pre-
sentations are already being planned
for next year, and the club bids fair
to be a big success. The members
are: Charles Hamilton, Ithaca,
Miller, Norman; Deubert Armstrong,
Dallas, Texas, Gladys Anderson,
Pryor Creek; May Curtis, Norman;
Fay Kent, Chandler; Edna Cash, Ok-
lahoma City, and Myrtle Ellenberger,
Norman. The name of the club, liter-
ally interpreted is “Big Players."
