Thanksgiving

The people Of Tulsa have every
reason TO be thankful and especially
that they are alive and living in
Tulsa, which town knows how 10
take advantage of every turn the oil
market takes, whereas towns like
Oklahoma City know only how TO be
ornery and are Just now rejoicing
through the columns OF the leading
daily, that the refiners are slowly,
but surely to be put out OF business.
1t is certainly great cause Of
thankfulness that this spirit of boor-
ishness in confined TO the capital OF
the state and does not extend into
any oil producing section, because oil
men are absolutely for the under
dog and always have been. There
are three or four in the entire Mid
Continent field who have demon
strated that the oil business is a
"hard boiled" business proposition,
aa the Daily Oklahoman states, but
they have only succeeded in helping
make themselves miserable.
The oil men are to give thanks
that this is not true. There is no
class of people on earth who believe
more in fair play than do the oil
producers. They will see the refiu-
ers arc kept supplied with crude and
will play the game with them 20 the
