BACH TO OKLAHOMA

Hundreds Of oil men and oil field
workers are flocking back to Oklaho-
ma oil districts Back to the scenes
Of their former successes from the
excitement and the lure Of the Texas
fields that have begun to fail and
fizzle out. For several weeks the i'll
flux of familiar crews, promoters and
lease holders has been noticeable. To
Enid and the other towns in this
great oil territory they are coming
to renew their activities and further
develop a territory that has not for
a minute sackcned its steady flow
Of liquid wealth.
No greater boost or no stronger
acknowledgment Of this oil producing
section of the mid-continant field could
be offered. Today it can be emphati-
cally declared that fields may come
and fields may ge but the CARRIER

in ever increasing production and

TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY

There is something ludicrous and
yet tragic in the resolutions sent TO
Of some eastern states by
the Sons Of Confederate veterans at
their recent meeting in Ardmore. The
resolutions deplored the attitude taken
by the east in regard to the negroes
The gesolutions go on to recount that
sometimes in the south when
negro commits some heinous crime
that he is disposed Of, but that some
times in the east when negro com
mits similar crime that his family
and his friends and his whole COM
munity are harmed, even wiped out
The resolutions We're apt retalia-
tions. For years certain political
and newspaper interests have been
heaping abuse upon the south FOR
its treatment of negro criminals, for
getting at the same time the beam
in their own eyes.
The south lives in harmony with
the negro today. The negro eppre-
ciates the broad fields and the friend
" commissaries Of the southland. He
may not get equality but he does get
justice. In many parts of the east
it is just the reverse.
The negro problem is no problem
at all so long as the negro is given
credit for his great Improvement and
his magnificent prowess as work
man. 1t is only when lie is made an
object of maudlin sentiment or un
warranted abuse that there develops
negro problem.
Riots of recent years in the east
have demonstrated the fact that de
velopment Of the negro must come
from the inside out and not from the
outside in.
Equality is a matter Of civilization
or morals, Of racial creeds and not
matter of sentiment.-Hugo News.

Liquor interests are dying hard |

Every intelligent man, if he is honest |
with himself, knows that alcohol is

ance from the greatest scientists ana

The dire calamities, such as the lie

they like to roll under their tongue

prohibition you have heard the asser-
ton that prohibition does not prohibit,
and that the law does not stop pec-
pie from drinking. OF course prohibi-

keep some people from drinking intox-
icating beverages. neither does pro
hibition of murder and capital punish
ment deter some men from killing
their fellow-men, nor other prohibi.
tions and laws made for the comfort
and safety Of humanity prohibit the

FOR AMERICA

James Hamilton Lewis, formerly
democrat United States senator from
Illinois. avowed candidate for the
democratic vice presidential nomination
AT the san Francisco convention, an
nounces his platform, and while there
may be found some things therein
which will not appeal TO all the peo'
pie, he has one plank which is sawed
CUT of the log of common sense ana
which should place his name upon
The tablets of his countrys' book OF
fame
In a nutshell this plank enunci-
ates more hard horse-sense and con-
tains more hard-boiled, unvarnished
truth than could be crowded into any
ten thousand.word tumble Of political
argot and balderdash, when it says
in substance, I'VE owe relief to TIE
people of America
The democratic party owes II tn
the world at large to make the league
Of nations the plank Of paramount
Importance, but it owes it to the peo-
pie of America to come out boldly
and uncompromisingly for such legis'
lation, and the enforcement of that
legislation. which will give relief to
the people who compose the bone and
sinew of the citizenry of the nation.
James Hamilton Lewis says in this
connection:
I'VE now owe something at home.
We must propose measures for the
relief of the United States. We must
make an issue of the deliberate re-
Gusal of the republicans to propose
any one measure to reduce the high
cost of living. or TO provide for the
homeless-the refusal to deny that
ii was the intention TO repeal the
federal reserve bank and the farm
,oan laws
Further Senator Lewis says, "The
democracy must make a platform at
san Francisco that is affirmative, con.
structive, and which promises the
continuance of the policies Of the en-
,ichment of the land, attend to the
,rotection of American citzens-leay-
