tn tho analysis of the growth Of

outstanding and distinct reasons Tor

The commonwealth of Oklnhoms
is porl abs the most conspicuous ox.
ample ~ rapid ana substantial
progress Ia the entire slaterhood Of
stttos. and for this result there arc
distinct and conclusive reasons.
Tho American A,nHignnatcu,
II has often been said that the
personality Of the people determine
the progress Of IA given community
state or nation, and this has
boon essentially true In Oklahoma.
Thurc is no one who will dispute the
fact that In the American citizen OF
today we hnvc the highest type of
man and woman since the dawn ~
time, and the reason for this fQct
is that the American citizcn OF TO-
dav is the result of the amalga ma
tion Of the best blood and brain Of
the civilized countries OF the world.
From all of the nations the young,
tho vigorous, tho virile have come
to Amcrica--men and women not
satisfied 10 walt In their own coun-
tries until someone died to inherit
n position-~not satisfied In their
own countries to fill IA normal or
subordinate position In life, but men
and women imbucd with n rcsistlcss
ambition, who. determined TO strike
out for themselves. come to new
country tho country OF opportuni-
ties-and here carve out name FOR
themselves and IA homo for their
families.
These young men and women
from England. Scotland. ireland,
France, Russia. Italy, Spain. Ger
many and other great countries OF
the world landed on the shores OF
mer,ca--they met and mated with
ambitions. vigorous. strong minded,
strong bloodcd representative OF
the various nations and In the pro-
cess of fusion ana amalgamation
they have produced tho American
citizen OF today. 1t In II logical thing
that this product should stand head
and shoulders above the worn out
bred ont and depleted citizenship OF
the ola World.
Tho Super Man,
To n great degree the history or
tho amalgamation process taking
place and producing the American
citizen has been repeated In the titi-
zenship of oklahoma. and we have
In this state now. and to an even
greater degree viii have. with the
coming 10 manhood and woman
hood OF future generations the re-
az of al In
American civilization. and the Okla
homan of tomorrow Will bo tho su-
pcrman and superwoman OF the
world.
In the citizenship OF Oklahoma
We have represented every state In
the union---not the droncs-~not the
ruts--not the ill-bred or the misfi,
but the highest type OF vigorous
and virle American man and wom-
an. Oklahoma has become tho
meeting place OF American citizen
ship. In Oklahoma the man from
Maine meets and mates with the
maid from Mississippi--tho maid
from California meets and mates
with the man from Connecticut
the man from Tennessee woes ana
wins tho girl from Texas and the
girl from Washington becomes tho
bride Of the man from West Vlr-
ginia. Minnesota and Missouri are
Joined IN tho uuptiai knot M ar"
Ohio and are OFF Oregon. Kansas
and the Carolinns are merged int
one family, and Alabama and ART
zona meet and mate ana become
one. Tho refining process is now
on and out of II will come the ma
tion's supcrman and superwoman
Given n citizenship OF this type with
even ordinary natural resources, a
great commonwealth, rapid In its
development, must necessarily fol
low. Given IA commonwealth with
matchless resources. such as Okla
