10: Every one to his place"
With these words Gabe' e. Parker

an Agency, appealed to the patriotism
and spirit of duty of every Oklahoms
citizen to get actively into the wal

Duty Of Business Men. .
All business men were urged to
establish selling agencies and help
out in two ways.
Loyalty is the soul Of honor.
Honor is the spirit Of patriotism
Patriotism is the dependence Of ma
tional security. National security in
this land is the realization Of liberty
and the freedom Of conscience" said
Mr.. Parker.
1.-THE sword of despotism has been
thrust at the heart Of democracy.
Shall this instrument Of tyranny vic
triously sheathe itself in the prostra'
ton of human rights? This question
must be answered by the men and
women Of the world who have enjoyed
the blessings of the Magma. Charta, OF
the Bill of Rights and Of the Declar-
alton of independence. It must be
answered by them for all humanity
No answer to us is conceivable than
Liberty shall conquer slavery. Free
dom shall vanquish bondage. The
voice of the people shall be the law Of
the land.
Proclamation Of Nation.
Our nation has proclaimed to the
world the justice of human independ
ence and the right of every man to
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. A hundred forty-two year,
we have fostered this fundamental
principle of humanity. Our achieve
ments are glorified in our institution
OF freedom. The oppressed Of ever
land has found comfort and encour
agement within our borders. Colum
bia smiles a benediction upon hei
loyal sons and daughters but frowni
q scorn upon the unresponsive In
crate. he tH
mot only has our country through
the congress and our commandment
chief called US to arms but every i'm
pulse of self respect, gratitude and
faith leads us to repel with oul
might the invasion of our liberties by
that foreign foe who destroys civiliYa
ton and mocks Christianity. Except
,, in shame and disgrace we cannot
avoid this war upon our rights w,
must win! We will WIN!
Traitors In History.
THAT man, or that institution
which does not render abiding serv
Ice to others, is not entitled to sur
vive. History is full of men, fnsti
tutions and governments which have
fallen because their objects and
efforts were not founded upon con
structive service to humanity and the
kingdom of God. Judas Iscariot II
despised of men. The ashes Of Rome
do not glorify the barbarism Of Nero
and the tribunal Of that government
which decreed a cross on calvary, II
remembered with shame.
with faith in the God Of Love and
hope that we may be His 1nstrumen
tality for Peace on earth and good
will toward all men, we know oul
rights; we know how to fight and We
will fight until not man, woman OF
child of US remains. Defea tin battle
ID unknown to Us. But we have moi
lost feeling and sympathy; We are
not barbarians.
