good promises and, in the main, wise plans indicated " ' '
' ' a inaugural the governor commends the eon-
agricultural interests; given greater comfort
and happiness to the farmers of the state, will
be the slogan for Oklahoma for the next four
years."
In regard to polities the governor took a bold aud
commendable stand:
My polities is well know u to you all. I was
elected as a Democrat, but 1 shall not be a part-
isan in the administration of the affair* ol' the
state. I shall look at all times to the greatest
good to all the people. Under no conditions
will 1 sacrifice the welfare of the public to the
interest of any political organization, ln ap-
pointing men to office, merit and honestly
alone will govern me. if I make a mistake iu
the appointment of any mau to office, that mis-
take, us soon as it is discovered will be prompt-
ly corrected b\ the removal of the incompetent
or corrupt official."
I lie governor gives promise of rigid enforcement
if the prohibition laws of the state. Said lie:
"So louj:- as it remains one of the law# of
litis state, in the discharge of my sworn duties 1
will attempt faithfully to enforce it. In this en-
deavor I am entitled to the active support of
every citizen who believes in law enforcement.
* * * To those who purposely violate this'
law. I want to give this warning: You must
pay the penalty which the law imposes. Don't
violate the law. harboring the hope that you
will find an escape through the medium of a
pardon, from the penalty you have voluntarily
anil wilfully incurred. This much the governor
can do to aid iu the enforcement of the law—he
can make certain the punishment after convic-
tion by withholding a pardon. If you violate
this law, you had better defeat the ease against
you in the court, for you will stand little chance
to defeat justice after conviction by obtaining a
pardon at my bauds.''
In conclusion. Gov. Cruce calls upon nil citizens to

BEWARE OF THE
| TRADING MINSITERS.
The other day an expose waa printed
of two get-rich-quick concerns here.
A minister of th© gosi>el was a respon*
i sible head in each. Whetuer deliberately
: it in ignorance, these men were trading
vipon their cloth to victimize men and
j women who believed them blindly be-
| cause of their ecclesiastical position.
"It should be a rule of business life
for the average investor," said a city
| banker who has a well-tested reputation
for probity, "never to buy stocks or
bonds from a minister I will explain .
Just why 1 make that statement later on, j
but In preface 1 will state that anyone I
who has a memory for the financial
wrecks of the recent }>ast can tell of a
•core of instances in which stocks of
vieiaulting companies were peddled by
ministers.
"1 know that in some of these cases
the ministers were merely rascals. They
deliberately capitalised their position in
the community. They sold worthless
i-tock—which they knew to ba worth*
leas—to men and women who did not in-
vestigate because they believed in the
minister. That sort of a man should be
held up to such shame, were he to go
to the ends of the earth, he would still
find someone to tell the damning truth
about him. •
"In a greater proportion of cases the
ministers were themselves the victims
of shrewd and unscrupulous men. They*
believed the glowing statements of a
prospectus gotten out in a back room,
: and ware of the honest opinion that
they gave their parishoners a wonderful
opportunity to make money by putting
them into the stock. Few ministers are
good business men. from the very na-
ture of their calling. They Judge a man
' v his standing within the four walls
of the church, and find it impossible to
believ® that a good churchman can be & !
wolf outside. If they investigate at all,
their Investigation is of a loose and un-
with the minstry'a program, and what
amounts to single-chamber govern-
ment should prove satisfactory to the
British democracy, the example upon
democracies elsewhere could not fail
to be profound."
"It is not in the least impossible
that the present agitation for the
election of United States senators
directly by the people points the way
toward an untimate attack upon the
•enate that would completely shatter
its congressional supremacy. Second
chambers nowhere are sacred or even
popular. Democraeies never liked
them. Let us take a long look
ahead."
^e,t let us. take a long look ahead,
and we might see farther if we climbed
a tree, and feel safer too.
Truly, these are very obstreperous
times.
