Regulating
Others.
The desire to have other peo-
ple live according to our ideas
seems to be inherent in many of
us. No one can explain why we
are not willing to let other people
live their lives as they see fit,
but so radical do soinn of us be-
come in regulating others that
we try to force them by law to
live as we think they shud live.
It may be that this is a survival
in us of the old Puritan idea that
each Jiaii is his brother's keep-
er. It is easy to see to what ab
surdities we wud come if this
idea was put into effect. Each
of us wud try to regulate our
nabors' conduct, and they, in
lui-n wud try to regulate ours
according to their ideas. The
inevitable conflict wud be pro-
ductive of mofe evils than we
origi nelly tried to overcome. No
man is good euougli, or so cer-
tain in his virtue that he caa
force other men to be like him.
The very fact that ho does try to
do so shows that, he is like the
Fharissee who prayed at the
front of the temple and called all
men to witness he was a good
and ju.st man. To be self satis-
lied wtth our own virtue is ego-
tism—not virtue. To try to force
other people to be virtuous as
we think we are virtuous, is the
height of egotism and prids
which is one of the great sins.
The rulers who persecuted the
early Christians were trying by
la .v to force their beliefs on an
unwilling body of men who be-
lieved differently. The result
w is the inartyrdjin of thousands
of good men and women. Christ
suffered and died because he in-
sisted on living His life as he
chose and not as the Jewish ru-
lers wishtd linn to. The whole
Origin of
"Oklahoma."
J. L. Bn'ttain, Oklahoma City,
declares the newspaper accounts
of the origin of the name of this
state are incorrect. He says he
lived for yuars among the Creek,
Choctaw and Che-okee Indians
in the Indian territory, the great-
er part of the time among the
Creeks, and therefore became
possessed of an extensive knowl-
edge of the tongue of that people.
The name "Oklahoma" he as
serts, is not of Creek origin, but
is composed of two Choctaw
words, "okla, which means pet -
pie", and "homa" which means
' red". The combination of the
two then wud make the meaning
of the .present title of this state
'"people-red" or, strictly speak-
ing, "red-people".
The Creek, Mr. Brittain says,
have a word in their language
which sounds exactly like the
Choctaw woi d "homa" but which
has an entirely different mean-
ing. "Home" in Creek denotes
strong or pungent. For instance,
the Creek word "owehoma"
means strong water or whiskey,
and "homelusta" means black
pepper.
"The point I wish to impress
is to simply put the people of
Oklahoma right on the origin and
meaning of the name 'Okla-
homa,'" says Mr. Brittain "It
is composed as stated above, of
two Choctaw words which mean
literally 'red people' nothing
more nor less.
Tt is a very pretty and appro-
priate name and one I personally
feel proud of as a citizen of our
fair state.
