4 4
44444444444 44444444444
It isn’t shall we weep or smile? It
isn’t shall we suffer pain?
The only thought for you and me is
shall the best of ub remain
It isn’t must our treasures pass? A
greater question now we face
’Life wtits for us to answer now:
shall tyranny - take freedom’s
place?
It isn’t have we done enough? Each
- giver now must give his all
We shall be shamed as free born men
if once the flags of freedom fall
As guardians of the truth we stand
this is no time to count the cost
The world goes back- to savage days
the moment that our cause is
lost
It isn’t shall we live or die the
choice is now' ’twixt wrong and
right
It isn’t shall we stay or go each one
of us must share the fight -The
splendor of a thousand years of
honest thought and manly strife
Lies in the balance at this hour We
must not grudge the gift of life
'The question ifi shall freedom lire or
shall the grim dark past return?
Shall we stand by a coward race as
liberty’s cathedrals burn?-
Mus future ages start anew amid a
blackened rained heap
Te claim' the freedom' that was ours
and win the goals we failed to
keep?

WRONG COLLINS
GOT "MESSAGE
Quite recently L Haines Buxton
secretary of the Oklahoma State
Council of Defenee Medical Section
had occasion to appoint a Nowata
county doctor as county representa-
tive for the purpose of gathering sta-
tistics about the doctors in this
county for the secretray’s office
Dr E F CollinS of this city was se-
lected because he was qualified and
was over the age of 65 years the
to ft ‘
latter being necessary I
rule laid down for tne guidance of
the medical section
Through an error the message was
delivered to Dr B F Collins who
went ahead on the assumption that
he had been the appointee
The following letter in regard to
the matter was received this morning
by Dr J P Sudderth of this city
and explain the matter
t Sept 13 1918
Doctor John P Sudderth
Nowata Okla
Dear Doctor:
My wire to you this morning prob-
ably conveys all the Information I
can give
I do not know how it happened
that we got "E F Collins” mixed up
with “B F Collins” The truth it
the matter ie we did not know there
was but one Collins in Nowata and
we have been under the impression
that we were dealing with “Dr E
F Collins" One reason why the
appointment of Dr Collins was made
was because we considered him effi-
cient and qualified to do the work
and second our instructions from
Washington are to appoint men over
56 when possible
I am sending a copy of this letter
to “Doctor E F Collins” and “Doc-
tor B F Collins” Of course the
appointment of B F Collins would
not have been made because it was
in violation of our instructions from
Washington to place older men as
county representatives
Assuring you of my sincere re-
gards I remain
r -Frmoraally yours

WHAT GREATER HONOR?
By United Press
Paris Sept 19 — In an official an-
nouncement of the decree conferring
the title of “honorary citizen and
friend of the Belgian nation” upon
Herbert Hoover the Belgian govern-
ment explains the reason for “ab-
staining" at present from bestowing
upon Hoover “the usual and symbo-
lical marks of national admiration
and thankfulness” is out of respect
for the tradition of the United States
which forbids the acceptance of such
pi
symbols by state officials while still
in "‘office The announcement
promises Hoover will be rewarded in
