COMMERCIAL
CONGRESS
SIXTH ANNUAL CONVENTION BE
GINS TODAY IN MUSkoGEE -
FOUR INTERNATIONAL ORGANl.
zATloNS REPRESENTED.

Muskogee, Okla, April 26.-The
sixth annual convention of the South
ern Commercial Congress, a confed-
Grafton of sixteen southern states in
industry, agriculture, education, fin
ance, commerce, and all activities
looking to the advancement of the
territory, was called to order here
today. Senator Fletcher of Florida,
president of the congress, presided,
Four international organizations are
represented, "steadying the wirld's
price of agricultural staples through
the establishment of a permanent
international commerce commission
on ocean freight rates" is the sub
ject of a report from the interna-
tional institute of agriculture, a fed
GRAFTON of fifty-four nations, prepared
by Hon. ID. Lubin, the American del
egate. J. B. Case, president of the
international irrigation congress will
speak on the colonization of lrrl-
CATION Lands The American COM
mission. on agricultural organization
is represented by Col. Harvie Jordan
of Atlanta, president of the southern
cotton growers association.
Among the national organizations
renreSpntpd are the H. s commission
on rural credits, appointed by Pres
ident Wilson, by Congressman Moss
of Indiana. The United States com
mission co-operated with the Ameri-
can commission in the investigation
of rural finance in eighteen countries
of Europe in 1913. The United States
commission has, by act of congress
been perpetuated throughout the fis
cal year 1916.

LOWER CALIFORNIA

This country is not justihed IN lhe
alarm il feels with reference to Japan
That is a small country, it has not the
means. the men, the war equipment
nor the intelligence to compete WIN
the United States in war and Tor many
wears to come the yellow men cannot
hone to successfully measure strength
with MS. The California land incident,
the Chinese question, and the speeches
of Hobson have been the contributing
causes to our watchful eye being turn
ed toward Japan. A few days ago when
the report was given out that Japan
was establishing a naval base in Low
er California, there was much excite
ment in evidence, and the country lost
no time in making an investigation
Japan was quickly exonerated OF any
such charge.
The publicity given the incident has
caused the people to make some IN
guiries concerning Lower California.
The probabilities are that the penin'
sula could have been ours If our dlplo'
mats had asked for it in settlement OF
Mexican questions. But this country
has given little heed to its existence,
and Mexico has always had difficult
time attending to matters arising In
the main land and the peninsula
has never been developed. 1t has an
irregular coast, and is from 80 to 100
miles wide. Extensive mineral depos-
it's exist there, but mining has been
sporadic. 1t is said to have good har-
bors and would make an ideal naval
base. This is not the first time reports
have been made that Japan was es-
tablishing a base there, and the re-
ports seem most likely to have come
from alarmists.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-04-26

to the present, we cannot subsist on
what has gone before, but, utilizing
it in creative effort in the present,
we must likewise realize our respon-
sibilities in respect to that approach
ing future"
Speaking of the European war, he
said: This unparalleled upheaval
and world wide conflagration, direct
ly involving four continents, must
inevitably mean serious and injur-
ious consequences to us. All nations
are more or less inter dependent. No
country can long prosper isolated and
alone. Communication promotes and
advances civilization. The ideal re-
lationship is information cooperation.
Our solemn duty while sympathinz'ng
with the distressed, is to bear with
patience the misfortunes which can
not be avoided, and cling to hope for
peace"

Senator Owen Welcomes Congress.

Muskogee, Okla, April 26.-United
States Senator Robert l.. Owen, of
Oklahoma. who delivered Muskogee's
welcome to the Southern Commercial
Congress today, predicted that the
next ten years would demonstrate in
the south "the most remarkable
changes which have ever taken place
in the United States, unless there be
excepted the rapid development of
Oklahoma, when the lands were sud
denly thrown open to settlement.
Senator Owen, chairman of the
senate banking committee. and mem
Der of the joint committee of con
gress to investigate rural credits, told
the congress that the practice of un-
limited debate in the senate had
made it impossible to pass, at the last
session, the rural credits bill and
other legislation of great importance.
He said that by next January, how
ever, lltIt SlOuIu Dt lldlHtu Ntli-
thOught-out measure to give relief to
the farmers. Protection of the Uni
ted States against future financial
panics by the federal reserve law"
he said. will be of enormous advan-
tage to southern people who are pc
culiarly injured by financial or COM
mercial depression"
Efforts to establish a department
of health to make the federal gov
ernments health service more eff
ficient, the senator said, had been
thwarted by the hostility of the pat
ent medicine people and those who
have selfish interest" He spoke par
ticuarly of the importance to the
south of the governments control of
yellow fever, malaria and hook worm
campaigns.

AMERICAN WILL PRESIDE

The peace congress to be held TINS
weak at The Hague will be presided
over by an American woman. Jane
Addams of Chicago has been selected
nv the European women to perform
this service for humanity. The women
have organized this meeting. Proml-
nent women from England, Germany,
Belgium and other countries in the
war zone will meet for the purpose OF
asking the nations at war to call
truce, to see If terms of peace cannot
be agreed upon. 1t is natural that
women should take the lead in plan
ming to stop the slaughter OF men.
Their husbands and their sons are in
the trenches. The sorrow will over
shadow any i'll feeling, and German
women will meet with courtesy the
women of England.
II is fitting that an American wom-
an should serve as chairman of this
peace congress. Whether the women
succeed or not, the movement must
have far reaching effect. There Is
no man that is out of the influence of
some woman. There is no king or
ruler that is not more or less influ-
enced by some good woman, and to
say the least OF the congress, 1t is
not far fetched. There is a chance for
something to be done, America Is a
peace'lovins nation. Those countries
are looking to our displomacy to
solve the problem. They are in a
death grip and do not know how to
turn loose. They see no point at which
they can cease fighting with national
honor. They are looking for the
spoils of war. They are making the
sacrifice of their own blood for those
spoils. The world hopes to see some
good results come from the congress

Muskogee, Okla. April 26-With
delegates present from every south
ern state, the sixth annual convention
of the Southern Commercial Congress
began here today for a fiyeday ses-
sion. Welcoming addresses and for
NAL review of the year by United
states Senator Duncan L, Fletcher Of
Florida. president of the congress,
marked the opening session.
Senator Fletcher called attention TO
the fact that this was the first meet
ing of the congress across the Mis-
sissippi," the previous conventions
having been held at Washington,
Ctwice), Atlanta, Nashville, and Mo-
bile.
In these days of rapidly moving
events. quick-changing circumstances,
when new conditions are arising. big
things are happening said the sena-
tor. 1t is well to meet in this new
state to consider new questions, dis
cuss with the people new problems,
which must be solved.
We must take our eyes off the
past and turn them to the future
While we are the heirs of the ages
which have gone before. and while
the experience. the wisdom, the sac
rifices, the toll. the courage and en-
terprise OF the past have brought us

Secretary vrooman's Address.

Muskogee, Okla, April 26-Assist-
ant Secretary Vrooman, of the de-
partment of agriculture, spoke for the
national administration at the open
ing of the Southern Commercial con-
gress here today. President Wilson
and Secretary Houston were unable
to attend.
Mr.. Vrooman said in part:
Now, as in the past, we find sew
eral distinct types of business organi-
zation; that founded upon privilege,
that founded upon unrestricted com
petition, that founded upon regu-
lated competition, and that embody-
ing the spirit and method of CO opera
ton.
"The paramount issue before the
American people today is not the
tariff nor any of those other polit-
tical or economic problems which
newspapers and politicians discuss so
glibly. The real issue is not politi-
cal. nor even economic The para
mount issue is the psychological
issue of personal, fundamental hon
esty. Is the individual citizen willing
to produce all the wealth he requires
and to work and vote to render 1t
impossible henceforth for anyone, by
any financial hocus- pocus, to ac-
quire wealth that others have pro-
duced? That's the issue. Along that
line will be fought the battle for the
control of that twilight zone in bust
ness where dog eat dog is still too
often the rule When a coherent and
masterful majority of our people gets
the full significance of this issue and
insists that he who produces more
than he acquires is a public bene-
factor but that he who acquires more
than he produces is a social parasite,
then means will be found of ridding
our civilization of the predatory bust
ness type, and of giving each individ-
ual the full product of his toll of
brawn or brain. 1t is to this end that
all the beneficient social forces OF
our day are trending.
Regulated competition is unques-
tionably better than irresistible and
uncontrolled competition. Moreover
by the slow, sure means of expert
ence, federal and state control OF
business is becoming at once more
elastic and more effective. But nc
perfecting of the mechanism of such
control can ever overcome the in
herent limitations of this method Of
promoting social and economic jus
tice.
"As President Wilson has indi-
Gated, the time is ripe for coop
Grafton that is not exclusive or OPP
pressive. but rather inclusive and ben.
ificient, founded on the principle o.
the open door. and dispensing it:
profits among all who participate il
its activities according to the meas
ure of their participation"

THINKS WE'LL OF WILSON.

There are men who, had they been
in the presidents chair during these
trying times, would have had the Uni
ted States ere this at war with Mex
leo, Japan and Germany all at once
Things have been steadily getting
worse. The whole world is tense with
feelings. Every day things are hap
pening which deal directly on our
notional honor If ever nation had
anything for which to thank God it
is that Mr.. Wilson is in the presi-
dents office. With wise, calm, un-
rufhed power he has steered the
United States through these daily
perils and no sudden incident has
made him lose his head. More trying
times may come at any moment. Sup
