BAPTIST CONVENTION
WARS ON DIVORCE
Continued From Page l.)

Of the gospel be the only persons
who could perform a legal marriage
ceremony, and that civil marriage
contracts be abolished.
The convention has no executive
powers over the Southern Baptist
churches and the only restriction it
can put upon its ministers in per-
forming marriage ceremonies, is the
moral limitation of its influence eN-
pressed by the majority OF delegates
from all states wherein the denomi-
nation has churches.
The delegates. however, were
unanimous over the Southern Bap-
tist churches and the only restric-
tion it can put upon its ministers
in performing marriage ceremonies,
is the moral limitation OF its infiu
ence expressed by the majority OF
delegates from all states wherein the
denomination has churches.
The delegates, however. were
unanimous in their endorsement OF
the resolution. 1t was the first time
the convention had attempted -
restrict the marriage OF divorced
persons. and some of the leaders
considered the resolution as being
too radical to have smooth sailing
before the convention. The only
debate. however, consisted OF dis
cussions in favor of the resolution
and condemnation of the present
unstable" state of society, due TO
promiscuous marriage and di-
vorce."
1t was announced today by the
home missions board that FL Paso
Texas, was the choice OF the board
for the location of the Southern
Baptist tuberculosis sanitarium
The board at the last convention
was empowered to consider the en-
tire question of the founding and
location of such an institution
While the question of the nexi
convention city has not yet been
brought before the convention, It IS
conceded BY mos, of the leaders that

the exports of oil products were
carried almost entirely in tankers
of British, German, Dutch and Nor
wegian registry. America had few
tank steamers flying the American
flag, and these today constitute an
important part of the American
fleet. A proportion of the British
fleet tank steamers was comman-
deered by the British government
to transport its requirements. The
result was that it has not been pos
sible to supply all the demands of
the allies and also the neutral ma
tions. This situation constitutes a
strong argument for the develop
ment of the American mercantile
marine. Germany's relentless sub
marine warfare has emphasized this
necessity and the time has come
when American ship owners must
be given an opportunity of compel
ing on equal terms with other ma
tions in the carrying trade.
Praise for Producers.
The American oil producers and
oil refiners, answering the call OF
the president, have mobolized their
resources as one man to help the
government In the last year, as
| can personally testify, as a chair
man of the advisory committee on
oil of the council of natioal de-
fense and then as chairman of the
petroleum war service committee,
oil men have forgotten differences
and gotten together. Men who
were for years the keenest of busi-
ness rivals, have forgotten the days
of trade warfare in the common eff
fort. | cannot think OF any more
splendid example of single hearted
service than that displayed by the
oil men in the last year. Not A
single man has held back. Every
producer has risked large amounts
in drilling in the hope OF increasing
oil production. Refiners have made
heavy expenditures upon new
plants to meet the increasing de-
mand and just as the service flag OF
every oil corporation in the coun-
try is decked with scores and hun
dreds OF stars. so every oil man put
his financial resources and his skill
at the command OF the country.
The American oil men have been

night with the car owned by Miss
Alice Brown. which was stolen here
and recovered in Guthrie The men
who stole it had changed its num-

OF car stolen in Louisiana. The
evidence OF the figures having been
changed was apparent. When the
men got to Guthrie one casing was
destroyed and other parts of the
car showed bad usage The men
had stolen two tires in Guthrie and
were on the way to the car with
them when hey were discovered

LET HIM LIVE.

As long as the flowers their per
fume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the sated brine Of Scotch
mans curse.
| would let him live on 4 dinner
each day,
Served from silver on golden
tray,
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but things
TO eat.
And I'd make him a bed of slken
sheen
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets OF
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place !;
Yet when to its comfort he would
yield,
1t should stink with the rot OF the
battlefield,
And blood and bones and brains OF
men
Should cover him, smother him
and then
His pillows should cling with the
rotted cloy-
Cloy from the grave OF a soldier
boy.
And while the waves OF white
sands sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through
all the years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringing and singing, and never
done
From the edge OF light to the set of
sun,
Moaning and moaning and moan
ing Wild
A ravaged French girls bastard
child
And | would build him castle by
the sea,
As lovely castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him ship from
over the sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the sill
vered sands.
Scarce may he reach his eager
hands,
Than a hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell.
And though he'd watch on the wave
swept shore.
Our Lusitania would rise no more
In mo Mans Land where the
Irish fell
I'd start the Kaiser a private Hell
I'd jab him. stab him. give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground
glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads they crucified.
In the fearful gloom of the living
tomb,
There is one thing I'd do before
was through;
I'd make him sing. in stirring
manner,
The wonderful words of The Star
Spangled Banner"

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-05-20

About two weeks ago, IN an artl-
Gle appearing in this department, 1t
was predicted that a scramble Tor
Healdton crude was due in the neal
future. or when the big refinery IN
terests are connected up with the
pipe lines now building in this held.
AT the time the article referred TO
was written the independent rein
ers were offering premiums, ana
since that time the fight for crude
oil among the independents has
been waged to the extent that Stlll
higher premiums are being paid.
The independent refinerS insist they
are not making any money at these
prices, and an appeal to Washing
ton for a 3 cent raise on gasoline
brought a raise Of | and II cents.
In about a week after the advance
was authorized the Pierce Oil Cor
poration reduced the price OF gaso-
line , cents Then the Texas, the
Magnolia and the Cosden compan-
les followed the Pierce company S
lead This brings about a dubious
state of affairs for the independents,
especially for Il So which do not
own producing oil properties. The
big interests are prepared, as they
always have been in the past to
shut the smaller concerns out when
ever they see lit; that is unless the
government takes hand in the
game. Under present conditions.
the big retincries can make money
because they are equipped to get
everything in the crude out, includ-
ing lubribating oils, wax, gasoline,
benizne, naphtha, etc, even to coke.
When the independents equip them
sleeves to take care OF all the by
products, and a uniform price for
crude is established, then the inde-
pendents as well as the big interests
and incidentally the producers, will
make the profits they are entitled
TO.
