MIGHT VS.. RIGHT

Does Wilhelm the Second, after
three years of the most titanic warfare
the world has ever known, at last re-
alize what it took Napoleon years to
comprehend-tha right alone makes
might?
Directly opposed to the pet theory
and practice of Bismarck, handed
down as the essence of Prussianism to
the present kaiser, is the declaration
in the German reply to the peace
note of Benedict XIV. that "The imper-
ial government greets with special
sympathy the leading idea of the
peace appeal wherein his holiness
clearly expresses the conviction that
in the future the material power of
arms must be superseded by the moral
power of right
At one fell blow, this declaration If
sincere, crumbles into ruins the super
structure of militarism which Junker-
ism has raised over the Teutonic peo-
pies. 1t does more. 1t detaches from
Germany the odium which has made
her fight the world. II places her upon
the pedestal from which the allied ma
tions are fighting for the preservation
of freedom and justice.
Does Germany, in the veriest bot.
toms of her heart and soul, mean this
declaration literally and in its entire
ty? Probably not.
IL was Chancellor Michaels who, in
the earlier days of his succession to
Bethmann Won IIollwcg, first enunci-
ated this startling, alleged German
tenet-that right alone makes might,
the implication being that the imper-
ial government exempliiied the former
in this war. And now it appears again,
not as an utterance of an individual,
but as an important portion of an Of
fetal document.
Distilled so that the last semblance
of verbiage disappears and subjected
TO 4 careful analysis, 1t would appear
that the declaration Is empty and hol.

Oklahoma Now Marketing Her Rich Oil Deposits
Don't Let This Wonderful Store of Wealth
Pass by Without Getting Your Share

The lvanhoe Petroleum Company is developing
$50 OF rich oil land in the Enid oil territory.
Some Of the property OF this company lies in abso-
lutey proven territory. The property OF the Ivanhoe
Petroleum Company Is divided into y separate leases
These leases have been selected throughout the Enid
oil territory and range from 20 acres to 5000 acres
each. These leases all either in close proximity
or actually adjoining properties where production
has already been proven or next to property which is
being developed. This enables the stockholders of
the lvanhoe Petroleum Company to reap the benefits
OF the tests made by other companies in determining
the value Of their unproven territory without the
pense of experimenting and it permits the stock
holders to enjoy an investment participating in the
development Of two leases that are In absolutely
