THE AMERICAN CREED

I believe in the United States OF
America as a government Of the
people, by the people, for the peo-
pie, whose just powers are derived
from the consent Of the governed; a
democracy in republic, a sovereign
Nation Of many sovereign States; a
perfect Union, one and inseparable,
established upon those principles Of
freedom, equality, justice and hu-
manity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
l therefore believe it is my duty TO
my country to love II; to support its
Constitution; TO obey its laws; 10
respect its flag; and to defend it
against all enemies.

OUTRAGED OUR BEST FRIENDS

When we have friend and that
friend, we feel, has not been treated
right, the bond of friendship and af-
fection and devotion is strengthened.
There Ia a stronger sympathy be-
cause there has zen a manifest in"
justice.
That sentiment Will represent the
feeling of the people of the southwest
for their men who a.e engaged in the
business Of producing oil.
These men have not been treated
right.
gress that refused them relief by the
enactment Of a tariff tax on imported
oil the injustice would not have been
SO marked for that party has never
stood for a protective tariff.
But for a party that has always
stood for a protective tariff to turn
the oil men Of the nation down at a
time when many hundreds of inde-
pendent companies are struggling for
their very existence does not seem
fair.
1t is a yiloation of human justice,
II is a violation of the principles OF
the republican party and il is rather
unfortunate for the Republican party
that it turned down the men OF Okla
homa many OF whom first voted the
republican ticket last fall and these
men were largely responsible for Ok
lahoma becoming the mysterious stran'
ger the past year in American pol
tiles
The oil man had every reason dur
ing the Wilson administration to make
him happy, but he did not know 1t.
He was making more money than he
ever made before, but the talk became
prevalent for So oil and many of the
oil men Of the Southwest fell for II.
Many of them today would like 10
have the privilege OF resembling that
ballot
The argument that the government
had encouraged Americans in making
foreign investments in oil and that
It must not break faith with these
companies that did so is not an ar
gument in the case, Their combined
investments become infnitesimal when
compared with the vast producing
area OF the United States and the
billions OF wealth involved. That is
not reason There IS another rea'
son. II is not our duty to say what
it was because we do not know, but
we can draw our own conclusions
just as the oil men win do.
The only remedy left that We can
see Is to shut down operations and
that Is not remedy because It Is
impractical and cannot be done. The
shutting down OF the fields ceases to
be- remedy.
As We see Ii the oil man must
hold stiff upper lip and fight his
own battles It is very certain that
the government TO which he has paid
enormous taxes the past few years is
not going to fight them for him. He
mus, bring TO bear all the self-rcli.
Anee he can muster and win his own
battle by his own might and there
will be few OF the boys who will vote
for IS oil ut any other election, nc
matter what party makes such a
promise.
The Oklahoma oil man has paid q
large percentage Of the state taxes
he has built roads. constructed sky
scrapers. built churches and hospitals,
established parks and places Of rec
reation, he has SO left his imprint
upon the state that Oklahoma IS
known as the most progressive OF ali
states Of the union and Il the oil
man had no; been here no such
credit could hawke ever come TO the
state.
The oil man deserves better treat,
ment.

ing the laying hen from the nom

that minds, like muscles. have their
limitations, and no man should be
condemned because of his limita-
tons.
