rursNs REMARKABLE GROWTH.

Tho story In Wednesdays world. that Tulsa
II showing a remarkable growth In population
al tho very tIno when most communities are
losing in population. probably came as a sur
priso to many.
u is truo that n story such os this. unsup-
ported by other evidence Is not 20 bo taken
TOO seriously However. there Is much support
ing evidence that Tulsa continues 10 gain popu-
ia'lon rlght along. There has not boon in SOW
oru years n month Ia which building operations
entirely ceased. House,, have been going up
all tho whilo--both private and public
Tho difference between tho last year and the
two yo0r5 preceding was this: Tho last year
has witnessed an unusual amount of building
by property ownors. Mon who owned their own
lots have IN large numbers improved those lots
for permanent homes. thus vacaung apartment
houses and rent houses. while previous thereto
for two years at least, tho great majority OF
building was by professional builders as a mat
tor OF speculation.
Hut the not result 20 tho community is the
Famo only increased population could fll tho
vacancies IN apartment houses and rent houses
caused by families moving into their own homes
Ana practically an such vacancies have been
filled. a ycur ago there were moro vacant
apartments snd houacn than for somo time
But now all that ls changed. II II difficult 20
find n house OF acceptable accommodations for
renti or on apartment cithor. From whence
came tho tenants to I'm theseH
II IL very llkcly that the story OF wednesday
morning was not exaggerated at all. Folks are
coming 20 Tulsa oil tho while. Tho reasons arc
easily dlscernlblc Tulsa Is tho best place in
the country to live and enjoy life while making
adequate preparation for tho future. Tho
steady stimulation 20 population. which is now
tho order Of tho day. will bo vastly augmented
with tho beginning Of actual construction work
the great water project.
We do not care TO SOC anything In the nature
OF n boom, olthor In prices or real estate trans
fers here Such things. we feel. are to be avoid
ed, II possible. But no who plans for the future
and does not take into account n very substan-
tial. oven and altogether conservative growth
In both population and values in this city during
the next three years. is blind 10 tho signs of
the times and tho opportunities which make
such phenomenon absolutely certain.

THE REEn-wILsoN AFFAIR.

What tantrum the man throw because Of
Recds use OF letter sent him by tho presi-
dent OF 1871
Surely there is no uncertainty regarding that
letter Reed printed. without n signature It
would be universally accepted as emanatlng
from tho Wilson pen. Unfortunately, there can
bo no question OF tho authenticity of tho Globe

the manner In which men yielded TO tho dicta-
tion OF tho czar OF tho White House during those
troublesome years.
We hold no brief for Jim Reed. In him, as
In most men, tho clouds OF opportunlsm and

bright blue sky OF patriotic endeavor. But in
comparison with tho whining. complaining In

WHAT is GOOD orrIzENsurpq

We hear the term good citizenship" referred
60 frequently these days, We hear much about
100 per cent Americanism." Naturally. tho
aim OF each being laudable and high and tho
proper chief end and aim OF sovereignty in tho
United states, the proper and adequate dofini-
tlou OF such terms becomes OF vast Importance.
How. then, shall we get universal agreement
to Just what II is which constitutes either
good citizenship or acceptable Amorlcansm2
II will bo agreed, wo presume. that tho donnl-
tlon OF ono term will be acceptable as the den-
rition OF tho other or at least synonymous.
Tho only acceptable authority must OF a cor-
tainty DO that instrument which creates tho
government and fixes both the privileges and
tho obligations OF tho citizen subjects OF that
government TO wit the federal constitution
1t win not do TO say that good citizenship I'm
any case means the arrogaton OF certain prvi-
leges and rights by a certain clique, faction or
class No agreement can be had on such a
hypothesis because that would be directly in
conflict with the constitution. Probably no
American citizen. whether professlng himself
10 be 100 per cent or merely 10 per cent, would
give adhesion TO such monstrous doctrine
that.
No; in order 20 proceed at all we must accept
tho clear, unmIstakable guarantees OF the con-
Sttuton ana the Ideals II sought TO establish,
And the very first OF these is that every citizen
Of this republic enjoys precisely tho same priv
legos and is under tho compulsion OF rendering
precisely tho Same service to the state. Thus
good citizenship IN the United States OF America
first Of all requires that the citizen must con-
cede 90 every other citizen tho same rights, priv
ilegcs and obligations that he claims or rccog-
n.zes as his own,
And why pursue tho examination any further3
Does not that express the solution OF all contro-
yersy, all personal class or factional differ
ences? The constitution OF the United states
gave official recognition 10 the golden rule
For any man or set OF men TO talk about good
citizenship or 100 per cent Americanism. unless
that man or set OF men readily eoncede THE
great point In citizenship, Is utterly absurd.
There may be varying per eents OF American
ism; we cannot say. But our own opinion is
that man Is either an American or he ism,
And the best type Of Amerieanism is uvea
rather than talked, practiced rather than
preached We have native-born Americans who
are as far from tho spirit OF the constitution

natural for his parents to name him
Washington after the father OF our
country, the national hero, who had
just achieved the independence OF
the American colonies from British
rule. Both his parents were emil
grants from Great Britain, but judg-
ing from the name of their son 1t
Is very evident they were not tories.
II Is strictly an American trait TO

great leaders OF the day. There are
Grover Cleveland Jones, II. IL. Il.
Browns, Andrew Jackson Smiths,

name that this custom extended back

reputation for himself I'm the publi-
cation OF KnickerboCker's history OF

was just &c years old. Yet he con-
sidered his literary efforts as n mere
diversion, and applied himself to his

In 1915. after his fathers death,
he went TO Liverpool to take charge

camille career came to an end a few
years later when the firm went

through Oklahoma, he and his party
crossed the Arkansas river, climbed
"a high hill and on Its summit pitched
their tent for the night. Standing
there In tho fading day, a scene OF
unparalleled loveliness met his gaze.
To the south the great river swung

rocks. Westward across the river
