Americans and the War.

II The proclamation that President
Wilson issued yesterday Is an clio
ouent and patriotic appeal for sell
restraint and self-control on the part
OF all American citizens.
Az the president well says:
| The people Of the United States are
drawn from many nations, and chieny
from the nations now at war. II II
natural and Inevitable that there
should be the utmost variety or sym
pathy and desire among them with TO
gard to the issues and circumstances
OF the conflict Some Will wish one
nation, others another. icceed l.
the momentous struggle VIII Dc
easy to excite passion and difficult e
allay Is.
This wise counsel cannot be too OFT
en- repeated; yet II Is only fair TO say
that the great body of citizenshiI
whatever it's various race ties and
Isympathies may be, has behaved ad
mirably.
At the beginning of the war small
element OF overzealous Germans az
tempted to coerce public opinion and
| to menace with boycotts all newspa'
OF the German autocracy in plunging
the world into war; but this campaign
soon subsidized. The German-Ameri'
can Chamber OF Commerce has been
guilty OF scandalous Improperly IN
Its attempt to infame popular senti'
ment against Japan, but this propa'
ganda has already defeated itself. For
the rest there 10 no cause whatever
OF complaint.
The great mass Of citizens OF Ger
man blood however ardent their sym
Ipathies with the Fatheriand, have
given no cause for criticism. The
same may be said of the English.
French, Belgians, Austrians. Hungar-
ians and Russians. Not only have
they said nothing and done nothing to
warrant complaint, but In the main
they have given evidence Of which can
hardly be overestimated.
The columns of the American news
papers have been thrown open to men
OF all nationalities, and the discussion
has had q steadying effect upon public
opinion az q whole. Men are likely
to lose some Of their rancor when
there II q free exchange Of views, and
that is what has happened In this
case. The World. for example, finda
q marked change Of tone during the
last week In the letters IL has receiv
ed from readers Of foreign birth
There IL much less bitterness. much
less arrogance. much less defiance
much less abuse than In the first days
Of the war.
While Germans and French and
English and Austrians and Belgiani
and Russians and Serbs In Europe are
Islaughtering one another In the most
devastating war Of all time. men OF
those same races are living and work
ing In peace and amity under the
American dag. What higher tribute
than this can be paid to the spirit OF
the republic New York World.

director of extension at A. & NJ.
College and state agent in charge of
the farm demonstration work of the

agents in forty-five counties of the
state These reports, made weekly,
reflect accurately the rural mind of
Oklahoma. Night riders are not need

ket has done the work. The reports
on Mr. Pentley's desk tell the story
of a reiuvenation of Oklahoma agri-
culture.
One thousand acres of alfalfa have
been sown this fall in Creek county,
according to a report from b. r..
Drake, agent, with headquarters at

PURE RICH BLOOD

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is

1t affects every organ and function.
In some eases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-

the goals to be sought by the cotton
grower. The farmer who is far
sighted enough not to place entire
reliance on any one crop, is in a
fair way to improve his methods OF
handling his principal crop. Diver
sifed farming in the cotton crop will
mean better cotton. And, incident
ally, along with diversified crops
should come live stock. A few COWS
and a few hogs and few chickens
will help fill the family larder when
European wars paralyze the cotton
market.
The state agricultural and mechani-
cal college, the United States depart
ment of agriculture, the railways of
Oklahoma, the commercial clubs, etc,
are working in harmony for the agri-
cultural advancement of the state.
The farmer who wants to make prog
ress will find aid and encourage
ment on every hand And eventually,
when Mr.. Bentleys ambition for a
county agricultural agent in every
county in the state has been realized,
every farmer in Oklahoma will have
an agricultural expert at his own
door.
