THE AMERICAN CREED
I believe In the United State ot
America aa a government of tba peo-
ple by tba peoplei for ' tba people
ehoee Jaat power are derived from
the content of the governed a de-
mocracy In n republican aoverelgu
anion of maty aoverelgn atatea a
perfect unloolj one and Inaeparable
eatebllahed npoe- tboae principle of
freedom equality Juatlca and hu-
manity for which American patriot
sacrificed their Uvea and fortua
I therefore believe It my duty to
my country to love It to support It
Constitution to obey I law to re-
peat Ita flag and to defend It
agalnat all enemies
Nearly every man ha a sneaky
notion that the klan has something
on him
o
When Lloyd George DeValera and
the other excellencies decide to meet
peaclbty they may make peace
We hear that Porter Newman has
decided not to go to St Louis for the
world series The reason is New
York i
' o
A Harvard University economist
has a plan for organizing the rull-
roads of the country Into nineteen
comprtitlng systems A little compe-
tition among the roads would be wel-
come to the folks who pay the bills
- o
The other day a man who met
Wrlgley of chewing guin fame on
the train told him that be was wast-
ing a lot of money by -advertising
when vrryone now knew of hi gum
‘My dear man" said Wrlgley "do
you know that if you rut the end off
this train it would coast along for a
time and then stop That's Just what
woald happen to my business If I quit
advertising"
o
One day last week we noticed an
obituary in one of our exchanges
bidding a fond farewell to old win-
ter It looks a little like some have
been In toq great a hurry to bid
"Adieu to Summer” But don’t hes-
itate Lay In your supply of fuel
The Bartlesville Enterprise editor
baa certainly' Just recently married
Here him: & matter how dumb a
girl appears to be in school there Is
no doubt but that she will learn
something in the generul school of
mstriniony We have known some ot
the dullest girls iu school to become
grest detectives after a few months
of married life
No Part) Politics In DisarinuiiH-nt
Senator I nd rwood's appointment
aa a no-mbor of the Disarmunieitt
Conference meets with the gcnral ap-
proval of the public and of all parLes
as d'd the appointment of Secretary
of State Hughes as the ranking mem-
ber of the American delegation
There is no more sincere friend of
thk main purpose of the conference
and of world peace Ilian the Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate who has
the confdence ot his party and of the
nation As an expert on taxation and
doubtless the best informed and best
equipped member of either House on
this subject he nercssarly baa a keen
relaxation of the relaiou between
the maintenance ot armaments and
taxation and hi sound knowledge ot
national and Interuational conditions
together with hts natural ability and
experience in leadership make him an
ideal member of the disarmament
Conference
The turning down of Senator Borah
instead of Sonator Lodge for member-
ah' on the Conference is generally
deplored aside from the violation of
the ethics governing such appoint-
ment Senator Borah it is pointed
out as the author of the resolution
providing for the Disarmament Con-
ference was entitled by all rule of
courtesy and by precedent to an ap

which was construed In many quar-
ters as "barking water" on the main
propos lion baa had the effect of
arousing and crystallising public sen-
timent to the point of Insisting that
the tysln purpose of the Conference-
the limitation of armamCnts-t-shall
not be submerged The intelligence
of thb nation and of Europe without
regard to party or other creeds has
worked pers'stentfly for the Imita-
tion ot armament ever since the
ArmMire not only from the Idealis-
tic view of lessening the prohahllily
of war but because It was realised
(ha- huge armaments would bankrupt
every nation In the world Thre Is
no party politics i'h the questioi of
disarmament and so far as the Dem-
ocrat are concerned there will be no
polit-'cs In tb disarmament confer-
ence The Democrat will work to
the lim t tp make if a success
With sincere friends of tho raue
like Senator Underwood and Secre
tary Hughes n m tuber of the con-
ference reinforced by an awakened
public sentiment there' s assuranre
(hat the main purpose of the conf r--nce
will hot be submerged and there
is renewed hope for practical results
LABOR VS CAPITAL
By A E CREIGHTON
In these reconstruction days a lot
being said about unions capital
and open shops A great Industrial
war has been and it at 111 waging with
(he tame relcntlesauess aa cliararter-
red opposing forces at Argonne St
Miliicl and Verdun Two mighty
forces have crossed swords In a clash
for supremacy And what is the
use of all this turmoil this con-
troversy and strife After all ’ done
nrd all is sa d you may sum it all
up in on word— greed Capital
strives to control labor at a minimum
wage labor strives to force capital
to pay maximum wage And there
are radicals on both sides of the
fence There are bloated multl-mlll'on-arcs
who would relish the ld'-a of
grinding- labor under hi hoot-beel
There are laborers who would epjoy-
ii g reaching his slin!y firgers Into
the pnr-e of rapital and extracting
then front money which h is aware
a unearned labor wants short
hours and big pay rap tal wants
long hours and small pay It Is
merely a la of nature — self preser-
vation For regardless of the amount
of wealth one accumulates he never
arrives at a pedestal of certain se-
curity He strive for more for fear
some great calamity might befall him
and be would be forced to take bis
place in the rank and file of labor
labor like ie Is never sstefied If
a union I successful In "putting over"
one strike with a resultant increase
ill his wages It will not be long un-
til he wjl be thinking of "putting
another over" and vice versa But
the big question Is still unsolved:
How can we determine the right
wage? That t the question And ft
has tarried With ua for rcnturVs It
has flaunted itself in the faces of
ediica-tonal wizards aince days pre-
historic This question ha paraded
tip and down the fir'ng fine of all na-
tions and peoples and sneered at their
feeble attempts to solve It Sages
tutored and trained have lain awake
under the shining canopy of every
clime and wrestled with unmitigated
endeavor for a faint beacon of light
on this gigantic problem and have
wearied and died and their aehea
blown to the four corner
re still confronted with-it

thia point we are going do resign it
