AMERICAN CREED
|SLECTURE TOPIC
Dr. Jones Finds Definition Of Amer.
Ieanism In Declaration Of Inde-
pendence-To Discuss Dangers
Facing Republic Tonight.

"The Greed of America" was the
subject OF the lecture delivered by
DR. Granville Jones at the o. G. w.
Monday evening. as the second OF
the series he is giving to the stu
dents and the citizens OF Chickasha,
what is an American" asked
the speaker, and he answered the
question by pointing to the Declara'
tion OF independence Herein Is
contained the creed Of America, and
an American Is one who subscribes
TO II. Wealth. intelligence, politics
and religion have nothing to do with
II. A man may be good American
whether he is rich or poor; he may
belong to any political party and be
an American; he may be Protest
ant. Catholic or Jew and be an
American. An American is merely
one who stands for the principles
embodied in this simple creed. You
can read the Declaration Of 1nde-
pendence in five minutes and II can
be summed up in three statements.
The first is independence-liberty;
the second means unity. and the
third is reliance on Providence"
Dr. Jones devoted considerable
time to an analysis Of the famous
historic document. "This was the
foundation of our government; upon
II the Constitution was built and all
the imposing superstructure was
erected. Do you want to know why
our country stands first among the
nations of the world, and why all
ether nations come to us for helpY
1t is not because we have richer
soil; not because we have more in
telligence though in our pride we
sometimes think so; II is because
our forefathers built and we have
since maintained the best form OF
government in the world"
This evening Dr.Jones will discuss
the dangers confronting America,
which is said to be one of his most
vital messages. He was heard by
an immense crowd last evening and
held the closest attention of his
audience. President Austin again
announced that the programs will
open promptly at 1880.

division superintendent told the
local Lions club in talk az their
meeting Monday. Il do not say
this to the disparagement of any
other roads, but We feel that we
are entitled to take pleasure In the
record which our own company has
made" he continued 1T IS true
that our trains have not always
been on time, but we have kept
them going. The strike did not
seriously interfere with the opera
tion of trains but for time we
were seriously concerned with the
coal shortage; there were times
when we didn't know whore we
would get the fuel TO run our trains
the next day
Mr.. McDougal flatly contradicted
reports that Rock Island officials
were negotiating with the striking
shopmen for a settlement. "Mr.
Germans announcement in his last
circular was the last word on this
subject" he said we are gradu-
ally building up our shop forces and
we expect to continue this policy.
We now have here body of splen.
did men. many of them trained in
your state schools and many of
them ex.service men. and they are
doing excellent work. Practically
all our new men are residents of
Oklahoma, most of them from the
country and nearby towns"
Reading reports on the payrolls
and work OF the Chickasha shops,
Mr.. McDougal said that during the
month of June, in the locomotive
department 1879 men were employed
and were paid $27451 while in the
car department, the number of EN-
ployes was 80 who were paid
$13,2S166, making total payroll of
$40,732G6 for the month. During
September 132 men were employed
in the locomotive department, the
amount paid them being $22,020.97,
while so men were employed in the
car department, receiving $9,2Sl.SI
making the payroll for the month
amount to $31,964S4.
Referring to the work done in the
shops, Mr. McDougal said that dur
ing June engines Nos. COS, 645, 6S5
and S32 received heavy repairs and
were turned out while during the
month Of September engines Nos.
176, 210, 257 1856 and S57 came in
