AMERICA HAS THE IDEA

v1 NDER the stress of the worlds greatest
u war; which sundered relationships and
subverted international law in every con-
tnent, the American system OF choosing the
country's diplomats from among men ol allairs
rather than from professional caste, mas peeh
triumphantly justified. In the case OF AT least
two of the great elligerents-Germany ana
Austria H Hungary-the old method OF selection
has been conspicuous failure
American policy in this respect has been
founded on the conviction that men who have
succeeded i'm winning their way to success in
commercial or literary or scientific spheres,
demonstrate by that fact that they are fitted
by native ability and large experience to repre-
sent their government in its official dealings
with other nations. For, after all, modern dl-
plomacy is primarily the task OF adjusting
and maintaining contact between the business
of one government and that of another-busl-
ness in this connection being only another term
for affairs in the widest sense.
1t requires tact and skill and pose TO
achieve place of distinction IN a country OF
more than 100 100000 intelligent, progressive
people. Only a man of exceptional acquire
ments can succeed. Having succeeded, such
man is equipped to be his countrys agent ana
spokesman in other lands.
The Washington Star Can independent
ournaD has uttered edtorialy an appreca-
ton of the American system, and in particular
of its workings during the war.
"The American fashion, so to say, has justl-
fed itself under many administrations" says
the Star. The latest justification is familiar.
Not man appointed under the present admin
istration to an important diplomatic post had
had days experience in the diplomatic line
And yet not one has failed in office. All have
been tried unusually in times unprecedented IN
the history of diplomacy. With all the world
shaken and all affairs more or less dlslocated,
making it difficult for even the veteran dlplo-
matists of other countries to find their way,
our men, all new recruits, have been reason
ably sure-footed and have made good"

FEDERAL SLEUTH AFTER
OKLAHOMA INCONSISTENCIES
COMING TO STATE soon

Oklahoma City May 14.-W. L.
Yarbrough, internal revenue officer,
who is to have charge of the drive
against moonshiners in the state with
headquarters in this city, is expected
to arrive within the next few days, ac
cording to Hubert l.. Bolen, revenue
collector.
Meanwhile the drive which has been
announced is getting started and is
under way in the southeast part Of
the state, Bolen said. The revenue col
lector has u collection of exhibits to
be offered as evidence against moon
sinners who have already been arrested
one of these samples of the moon
sinners work is a half bottle of corn
whisky. 1t looks like water but smells
like whisky. And exhibit 'B' in the
same case is a fruit jar filled with
wheat and water-the wheat icing in
u state of fermentation. The evidence
was captured in the vicinity of Wenetka
several days ago, by one of the revenue
deputies.

AFTER THE BIRD SHOOTERS

DOYS with small rifles and shotguns, as well
y as grown men with man-sZed shootlng-
irons. would better "look leedle oudt
hereafter when they have a hankering after
the shooting of birds that are protected by
the federal laws. The goblin Of the United
States law will get them if they don't look out
The federal game warden has been visiting
Ardmore and vicinity, and he didn't come 1or
his health. He came to see that birds are pro-
tected.
Many of the boys who shoot birds are un-
aware of the federal law which makes it a mis-
demeanor to say the feathered songsters. In
some cases heavy fines and even imprisonment
are the penalties. Several boys and their
parents have been warned officially this week.
The bows have promised to quit shooting BIRDS
II behooves all the other bird-shooting boys
and their parents or guardians to take thlS
warning unto themselves lest they be haled
into court and fined. The court in this instance
is the United States commisoner-and you
know, very probably. that Uncle Sans courts
are much more strict in Interpretation OF the
laws than are some of the state courts
In this connection it may be well to pass
along the information that in Oklahoma there
is state law prohibiting the wearing OF bTd
plumage on hats. The federal law also covers
this matter. The maximum punishment IS a
fine of $500 and Imprisonment for six months.
Didn't know that, did you? Well, now you
know it. The little aigrette may turn out to be
a large regret, you know, if you fool with the
federal statutes

Several of the republican senators were
sharp enough not to be caught by Senator
Lodges request that they refrain from com
mtting themselves on the League of Nations
until they coud all talk over the revised dra1t
at a party conference. Incidentally, the u: o.
p. leaders felt that it was perfectly all right
to ask the senators to refrain from discussion
until thev said the word, but it was all wrong
for the president a few weeks ago to ask mem
bers of congress to refrain from public discus
sion until after he had had opportunity to go
over the provisions of the draft with them.

Oklahoma Has Produced Nearly Billion Barrels of Oil:
History of Oil Industry From Beginning is Reviewed Here

states of the Union. California is just
nearly approaching the billion mark.
Origin of the Industry
brakes discovery was in the year
1853, august 2S), instead of 1854, as
stated above.
AS Mr.. Shannon correctly says crude
oil was used for medicinal purposes
long before brakes oil activities. In
1888, Professor Silliman, of Yale, pub
lished an interesting account of an OIL
spring located near Cuba. n. Y. Fol-
lowing this, the petroleum seepages IN
Western Pennsylvania, attracted more
attention than formerly. In 1S45 Lew
is Peterson of Tarentum, Pa, collected
oil that had come up from the earth
in his salt wells. He took sample OF
the oil to a PittsburgS cotton factory.
There the oil was experimental with
and. in connection with sperm oil, was
found to be an excellent lubricant. sam
uel Kier, a salt producer at Tarentum,
found the brine in his wells impregnat-
ed with petroleum. He tried to have
it used as solvent for gutta percha,
but that experiment, which was made
in New York, failed. Then it was sold
as carbon oil" for illumination pur-
poses and there was a considerable de-
mand for it, although it was u very
smoky light that was produced by the
primitive lamps in which the semi-caude
oil was bruned.
In the '40s Samuel and Thon6ls kier
were leaders in oil matters. In 1S49
Samuel Kier bottled some of his oil
for medicinal purposes. The well from
which the oil came was 400 feet deep.
In 1858, Brewer Watson & Co. of
Titusville, Pa, made out the first oil
lease recorded in America. 1t read as
follows:
Agreed this fourth day of July,
A. D., 1858, with j. ID. Angler of
Cherrytree Township. in the coun-
ty of Venango, Pa, that he shall
repair up and keep in order the
old oil spring on land in said Cher
rytree township, or dig and make
new springs, the expenses to be
deducted out of the proceeds OF
the oil and the balance, if any, to
be equally divided, the one-half to
J. ID. Angler and the other half to
term of five years from this date.
If profitable.
(Signed:
BREWER. WATSON & co.
y. ID. Angler"
Mr.. Angler dug bitches and. at a
depth of four feet. found small seepages
but it was Improbable undertaking
and the scheme was abandoned afer
a few months
In West Virginia, before brakes
time, sale wells also figured as oil and
gas producers on a small scale.
To Drill for Oil
Later came the first practical efforts
to drill for oil. the enterprise being
headed by George II. Bissell and iona
than c. Eveleth. of New York. These
men acquired. by deed. 125 acres OF

world for 1918 was $50 600 barrels. OF
this the United States produced 45.,

Of the oil produced in the world.
Oklahomas production for 1918 was
80. 600, ,OOO barrels, Is per cent Of the
worlds production in the United States

At the present time, there are 23,56l
wells in the state. now producing oil or
gas. OF course, those that We're dry
ana wells which have been abandoned
make a large total aside from this
number.
The daily production of oil in Ok

valued at more than 100000 The to-
tai value of oil produced in the state

While the Kiers deserve great credlt
in connection with the opening OF me
oil industry. the fact should be borne
in mind that primarily they were SAT-
producers. They drilled for sale water
and the oil oOZed into that fluid IN slhall
quantities. When the Drake well was
drilled ii was an oil test from the start
Billy smith, salt driller. who had
worked on the Tarentum wells, had
charge of the drilling ON the Drake
well. \ conductor hole to bed rock

to a depth of 50 feet. The primitive
drilling tools We're small, but in gen
pral way were similar to the drllllhg
outfit of later years. having jars,
stem, sinker, etc. The drill was
started in May and in the following
August, at a depth of SO IL feet
was struck. The oil rose to within 10
feet of the top Of the pipe and the ini-
tial capacity of the well was 10 barrels
daily, which soon fell off to 10 barrels.
Immediately following the bringing
IN of the Drake well, field operations
spread up and down Oil Creek Valley
and then. far and wide. Today the oil
business is one of the leading industries
of the world and its future is filled
with unlimited possibilities in the mat
Ter of trade expansion.
Oklahoma Production
According to the statistical depart
ment of one of the leading Mid-Conti'
uent oil companies that We're on July
/, 1913, total of 42,32l producing oil
wells in Oklahoma ON that date. The
production of these wells was given
as 26,5ll barrels day, an average
of COS barrels per well. No record was
made of gas wells or dry holes Mr.
Shannon gives the number of oil and
gas wells in the state as 23,56l. where
as there are over half hat many wells
producing oil in Nowata and Rogers
counties, and if Washington and Usage
counties are added, the total producing
oil wells in the four companies named
would be a trifle higher than the num-
ber given by Mr.. Shannon for the
whole state.
In addition, Glenn pool had 4,7S0 oil
wells; Gushing 1870 Healdton, 1888;
Okmulgee county. 2,276; Bird Creek,
,S5S; Flat Rock and Turley, SCI; Paw
