You know the glorious record OF

ident Wilson was elected. You know
the constructive and progressive laws
which have been passed affecting
our domestic and economic concerns
You know our glorious war record
| We stayed out until the fullness Of
time, but since going in we have
amazed the world and amazed our
selves with what We have done in
every line Of activity. President VIII
son has handled the whole situation
In such "A way that he has not only
won the loving and enthusiastic ad-
miration OF our own people, hut he
has by the very force Of merit won
the place Of world leadership among
the people who believe in freedom
and democracy.

Of a congress that Is with him on the
100 per cent basis. not only on war
matters, but on his other programs

yates OF West Point. and tho cadets
OF that great military establishment
who were detailed for such duty.
Colonel Repington points out
strongly that military training at
West Point has always been along
the lines Of new developments that
the officers It graduates taking the
Same course of training, have been
as we'll prepared in theory for the
actual practice Of war as any in Eu-
rope. and that long period Of peace
had no more disqualified them than
it had European officers who had
not been in a war Of first-rate pro-
portions for more than a generation.
Colonel RepingtOn gives credit TO
West Point so unreseryedly that his
words are likely to remain as a tcs-
tlmonial to a great military institu-
tion which Americans may have
come to undervalue somewhat. We
were long in preparing. but when we
began getting ready to prepare we
found that West Point had been get
ting ready for long time.

AMERICANS ARE NOT RUSSIANS.

The German propagandist who,
like the poor, We have always with
us. sees at last an opportunity to
earn the pay which no has been
drawing from the great Hun slush
fund. Since Americas entrance into
the war It must have seemed many
times to his masters in Berlin that
he was rather costly luxury, but II
he can succeed now in making any
large number Of Americans believe
that Germany sincerely desires just
peace he VIII fee. and his masters
will feel. that the money spent on
him has not been wasted
To The propaGandists statement
that the kaiser Is now willing to
make peace on the basis of President
Wilson's fourteen proposals, the in
telligeDt American will answer that.
in the first place the kaisor's prom
ise as 10 this WAS exceedingly vague
and. IN the second place, oven II IL
had been explicit We have not for
gotten, because ot the bitterness OF
past experiences, that the kaiser and
all those who uphold him or arc as
ISOLATED with him regard their prom.
ises as mere scraps OF paper, to be
torn up at Will and made solely for
the purpose Of getting the better OF
the over-trustfuL
by sheir works yo shall know
them" What has Germany actually
done to show that she is sincerely de-
sirous of seeing the fourteen pro-
posals carried into effect one Of
the proposals is that German troops
shall immediately ovacuato Belgium
and France. The evacuation is being
carried out, to be sure, hut as every
one knows 1t is being dono at the
point Of the hayonet. Here are two
more OF Wilson's proposals:
Evacuation OF and opportunity for
Russia
Evacuation Of Rumania, Serbia

WHO VIOLATED AGREEMENTS

There was an understanding be
tween the campaign committees that
all parties would lay OFF politics dur
ing tho Liberty loan campaign. and
now comes tho mouth organ OF the
democratic party and charger that
the republicans have violated tho
agreement. and charges specifically
that Mr.. Chandler. candidate for
congress in this district. In the chief
violator. Before becoming unduly
excited over the matter II might he
we'll to look into the record.
Almost every day tho democratic
press has mado some slurring refer
ence to Mr.. Chandler. and urged the
election OF his opponent in order to
win the war and give President VIII
son the congressional support and
sustenance he 30 much needs Mr..
Howard's defeated opponent was In
duced TO give out an interview en-
phaslzlng the necessity of demo-
cratic congress. Notice OF tho solec-
don of Mr.. Howard's campaign man
Ager was given publicity. and every
where Mr.. Howard has appeared II
has been announced by the demo-
cratic press that he was preparing to
make an aggressive campaign. In
the midst OF the Liberty loan drive n
banner was stretched across Main
street In Tulsa showing tho location
OF the democratic headquarters,
Mr.. Howard was not invited TO
make Liberty loan speeches because
he Is a silver-tonod spieier who can
talk money out OF the pockets OF the
men who have It, but because he
was a candidate for congross We
are confident he never alluded to his
candidacy in any Of his speeches,
but no ono was kept In darkness al
to his ambition.
The chief complaint made against
Mr.. Chandler In that he allowed him
self to be introduced as n member
Of congress- So does Joe Thompson,
who was with Mr.. Chandler in
France. and is a candidate for ro-
election. SO is President Wilson and
Governor Williams given their Off
ciAl title when being Introduced. 1t
Is a courtesy due any public official,
and no one but square, head who
has changed tho spelling OF his name
in order TO hide his nationality can
see anything else in IT,

that they were wars They were
