SUBSCRIPTIONS RArss.
ALL PRo-AMERIcAN.

Only one member Of the Oklahoms
delegation in the house of representa-
tiyes failed to stand by the presiden
in the final showdown on the warn
ing resolution. Our congressman show
ed that they are fully imbued with
the fine quality of Americanism which
characterizes their constituents.
The typical OSlahoman is anything
but rabbit and in voting to sustain
The firm stand which the administra.
ton has taken in displomatic dealings
our Representatives have demonstrat.
cd that they are statesmen who have
the right kind of stuff in them.
Whatever the outcome Of the subma-
rine controversy may be, the effect
OF reputation Of the presidents for
eign policy must have meant ignominy
for the nation before the eyes OF. the
world and rendered it much more diff
ficult for the president TO uphold the
honor and rights of America by peace
ful processes.
There never was a more slanderous
suggestion than the idea that Presi-
dent Wilson has any wish to embroil
the nation in the world war, al, his
acts and words being directed to pre-
cisely the opposite course.
The furore in congress was latent
with peril to the peace of the nation,
hut now that foreign powers under
stard that congress stands back of
the administration, we have hope that
The president will yet be able to steer
The ship OF state safely through the
stormy sea.
Notwithstanding all allegations to the
contrary, careful examination Of the
record will demonstrate clearly that
the policy OF the president is neither
pro-allies or pro-German, but unequiv-
ocalIy pro-American. In carrying out
this policy, it is inevitable that the
administration must go contrary to the
wishes of those Of pronounced sympa-
thies on both sides and must clash with
the plans Of the belligerents whenever
they infringe upon the rules OF the
game in any way that invades the
rights of America.
All discerning Americans understand
the difficulties that beset the president
and are eager to aid him in his efforts
to serve the welfare Of the nation and
the cause of humanity as. he performs
his official duties during time which
taxes the minds and tries the souls
Of men.
