WASTE CREATES WANT.

Oil is worth $3.50 a barrel, and
every time barrel sells for less
than that sum the state, which pro
duces the oil. Is relieved of some Of
the wealth its citizenship is entitled
TO. A moratorium of oil field debts
will give the producers an oppor-
tunity TO hold their oil until the
pipe lines have a demand for it at
$50 a barrel. If Oklahoma, Texas,
and Louisiana will join hands in a
movement to make oil worth that
price. 1t will not be a year before
it will be selling for it. There is
no argument in saying that it can't
be done, because it can. The law
recognizes that a different property
right attaches TO oil from that which
attaches to a bale Of cotton or a
bushel of wheat. OF, coal iron etc
were deposited by nature for the
use Of mankind, there is plenti
full supply but there is none to
waste Nature is generous, but ii
never created anything to be was
ted As the oil business is being
conducted at this time It is a dis
grace to civilization. Oil in millions
Of barrels is stored on the surface
TO 90 into the elements or to be ex.
posed to fire 1t is an outrage
against humanity Commerce or all
the people have an interest in the
deposits which nature has placed
in the earth for mankind and it is
the duty of the law making bodies
Of the country to protect the people
in their rights 1t is a law as un-
changeable as the law of the Medes
and Persians that a waste always
creates a want.

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

The man who INDUCES in bitter
ness against ]. J. McAlester will dc
a good man an injustice. He is of q
kind nature When he sees the
Rinched face in the pentetn1ary,
when he sees at his side the hungry
wife anl ragged children, and his
pen will restore a family, he is go
ing to use that pen. He can no more
resist It than water can run uphill
There is something in human nature
that rebels at the idea of a man
being shut out from the world. the
broken home. the lowly mother, the
ragged children appeal TO the hearts
Of most men, and ]. J. McAlester
is like Bob Taylor, he cannot resist
the restoration Of men to their fam
lilies. Take one hundred men par
doned out Of the penitentiary and
take another one hundred men whose
surroundings are identical and there
will be fewer criminals among the
pardoned. Fewer Of them will be
in the courts.
We do not pretend to say that
there should be no prison, for there
are men who are dangerous to be
at large, there are men who are
professional criminals; there are men
who are so saturated with crime, so
ut-of-tune with the balance of hu.
manity that they are more of the
nature OF the beast than OF the man
and should be kept where they will
not endanger the lives and property
and peace of others. But there are
very few of these men. and the
balance can be saved and restored
to useful citizenship.

Two HUNDRED MILLIONS.

@OYertopping all other road prob
lens in its importance IS that Of
maintenance" says Walter Page, di-
rector Of the United States Office Of
public roads, and president Of the
American Highway association. The
destructive agencies OF traffic and
the elements are uncessiRg in their
activities and it is idle TO talk Of
permanent roads any more than TO
speak Of house. fence, or q rail
road tie as permanent said Mr.
Page. The public roads today, b.
reason Of the exceptionally destruc-
tive traffic conditions, are more
costly in construction and this Is
continually increasing with the pri-
ces of labor and material II is
criminally wasteful, therefore, 10

in a year or two, thus involving a
permanent loss Of considerable mag
nitude.
When It IS considered that the
aggregate expenditure on roads in
the United States is well over $500
10000 annually, the seriousness Of
the question is apparent look to
the conference OF highway officials
which will be held during the fourth
American Road Congress, which
meets in Atlanta, Georgia, on Novem-
Der 9, to devote much attention TO
road maintenance, and that the ac-
| cumulative moral effect OF their find
ings will 90 far towards bringing
legislatures and county boards TO a
realization OF the necessity for
prompt and efficient action. The
roads should be classified and suit
able maintenance, in organization
and money, provided according TO
the importance Of the representa-
tive classes of roads,
One Of the questions which the
congress will discuss is that re
lating to the revision of road laws.
A complete compilation of the road
laws Of all the states will be avail
able for the session devoted TO legis-
lation and it is expected that in out
lining bases for revision, mainten-
ance will be given particular atten-
| lion.

HONEST
WITH THE INDIANS
:: :: :: :: y /. :: :: :: :. :: {. :: !: u ::

In his less than two years of SER
vice as commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs, Cato Sells, whose long resi-
dence IN Iowa gives the state a
claim upon him, has won a nation
wide recognition for himself and
secured for the government at Wash
ington almost for the first time the
regard of its Indian wards.
Mr.. Sells has been able to do this
by resorting to the very simple eX-
pcdient of being honest with the
Indians and doing for them just
what the government has said it
would do. Strange as it may seem,
this is the first time a commissioner
of Indian affairs or a national ad-
ministrat.on has found it worth
while to be as prompt in fulfilling
an obligation as in entering upon
one.
The French, when they sold Louis
lana Territory, left the American
purchasers a legacy that caused no
end of embarras ssment-the Indian as
independent nations to be dealt with
by formal treaty. The American
soon accustomed himself to the
forms, but he took what he wanted.
The Indian, who had great respect
for forms, never could understand
American duplicity. To him the
American always spoke with forked
tongue
The treaties with the Indians have
been gathered and published in a
single volume. 1t may be said with
confidence that leaving out the
merely formal ratifications of exist
ing friendly relations, there is not
on treaty that was negotiated in
good faith by the United States
What Germany has done in Belgium
would be merely incidental If COM
pared with what this country has
done in violation Of formal treaty
rights on every foot of Indian ground.
Mr. Sells is to be congratulated on
discovering that honesty is the best
policy, even in dealing with the In
dian. The acclaim he is winning is
the measure of the essentially heal
thy tone of American public morals.

REMOVE The sHkcKLEs.

The agricultural awards which the
full-blood Indians Of this county have
won in the fairs al Muskogee and
Oklahoma City prove that the Indian
can be self-gupporting when he feels
the necessity Of having to work. The
government in trying to protect the
Indian in his estate, has done him
an injustice. He is made 10 feel
that the government owes him hy-
Ing. that he can lean on the white
people and secure funds from time
10 time. that will keep his expenses
paid and under such circumstances
the initiative, the energy and the
selfreliance Of the Indian has been
destroyed. The Indian IS not differ
ent from any other race, the white
man and the negro would have the
same inclinations under the same
circumstances.

ed for placing farmers among the
Indians 10 teach them agriculture
and now, II congress will remo.e his
shackles the Indian will become a
self reliant, self-supporting man
and as such will be worth more to
