AMERICANISM CREED.
"I believe in Ina United States of America and the prin-
ciple! of freedom juttice equality and humanity upon which it
was founded and for which American patriots have given their
lives and fortunes.
"I believe it is my duty towards my country to lova it to
support its constitution; to obey its Uws; to respect its flag;
and to defend it against all enemies."
A RETURN TO LAW.
I'.vcry is.inj week serve to rinliaie more strongly I tie
fart tlut'ue have nic pre-eminent uvcTnmtnt al issue before us
which I'ui'l he v.lvnl if our form of moirty and of government is
to eiKlii.c. Hi's iM' Ims nlisotlieil nil others; it ha made all other
jrol. ins M '-'ii'dary ! it and dependent tipoii it. That issue is the
return to nn era of law.
Our whole k ivernuiental system is worm eaten with the con-
ception that laws are ma le to he evaded and not to he obeyed.
Never was the law held in greater contempt than it is in Oklahoma
today. Government is conducted private affairs arc conducted ap-
parently upon the theory that anything is all right if you can get
by with it. Only a perfunctory attempt is made to enforce tin-
Hipular laws the officers excusing themselves hjmhi the ground
that the public docs not want these laws enforced. Officers them-
selves violate fundamental .statutes and moral laws without hesi-
tation and with impunity.
This is not the description of a localized situation; it is the
general condition which prevails in Oklahoma today. Kvery week
brings sonic new complaint from some part of the state. It is
useless for us to close our eyes to it. The whole fabric of our
governmental and social system which can be maintained only
upon the assumption that laws will be complied with by the citi-
zens and will be enforced against all violators by the officers is
threatened by such a condition as wc now find.
Every other issue before Oklahoma is secondary to this. Noth-
ing else is comparable with it in importance. Whatever govern-
mental devircs the political parties may propose to secure the
favor of the public whatever schemes and promises may be work-
ed out by ambitious candidates whatever criticisms may be made
by individuals or parties all else must this year be made secondary
to the one question which must be propounded alike to parties and
to individuals. That question is this: "Will you. if entrusted with
power once nfain make law respected in Oklahoma?"
The individual and the party who can and will do this will
solve the most of our governmental problems. We have plenty
of law to answer most of our needs. A great deal of' it has never
had a real trial because nobody has been found who would place it
thoroughly in effect.
A return to law that is what wc need in Oklahoma.
Closely associated with the foregoing is a fact that wc have
for a long time overlooked in Oklahoma and to which this state
as well as other states must adjust themselves. That fact is
that a law violator makes an extremely poor enforcer of the law.
An immoral man is a poor officer. It is impossible that he should
with a whole heart enforce the law of which he. himself is a viola-
tor. Our officers are the custodians of our moral laws." If they
.do not enforce them they will not be enforced. The man who vio-
lates them will not enforce them.
The conclusion is inevitable in this juncture of' our affairs
when the great issue is that o" enforcement of the law. The fact
that a man is personally immoral that he is a cWt associate of
habitual violators of the law that his personal habits are such
that for their satisfaction somebody must violate the law makes it
impossible that that man should be a fit instrument for the opera
tion of a government by law.
The morals of any private citizen are his own business. They
are limited only by the extent to which he desires to conform to
the standards of his community and the laws of his state. But
the morals of a public officer arc everybody's business. It is not
a matter of indifference to the public whether their officers are
immoral drunkards gamblers commercially dishonest. It is a
matter of the highest importance for the reason that these men
must maintain the standards of morals and honesty or they will
not be maintained.
Heretofore it has been the habit to pass such questions as
these only casually assuming that the necessary qualifications of
an officer were something entirely different ; that if he had the
intellectual equipment and the spirit of good fellowship which
makes him an agreeable fellow the moral questions are a matter
of small moment. Now we must turn this around. These other
qualifications are desirable; but if they are vitiated by lack of
moral fibre and of the moral outlook which makes his life and
his personal purposes run parallel to the general purposes of the
law and the social ideals of his state the man is not fit to be a
public officer. v
He may make a good friend a competent business man a fine
comrade but a good public officer never. Harlow's Weekly.

STUDENTS LIVING TOO "FAST."
The college student of America is living too fast S There is
not enough of "plain living and high thinking" among his kind.
This was the warning sounded by President Hardiner. who snoke
at Williamsburg Va. at the inauguration of Dr. J. A. C. Chandler
as president of William and Mary college says one of our ex-
cnanges. . .
The president said he was not sure that the young people are
living tip to the full estimate of an education's "worth and con-
tinued: "I doubt if there is as much of plain living and high think-
ing in academic shades as there was once or might well be now.
Among the men I have known who 'worked their way through
college' the ultimate valuations of their careers have seemed to
warrant the impression that education which comes high to its pos
sessor is worth several tunes as much as education that merely
comes high to sacrificing and struggling parents.
What Mr. Harding said about the college student also applies
to the high school boys and girls. The student whose absorbing
interest in life is to "keep up with Lizzie" spending -money reck-
Irrly is not going to get anything out of school and is acquiring

BACKACHE IS
DISCOURAGING
But Not So Bad If You Know How
to Reach the Cause. t
Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Chickasha people recom-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this
case:
Mrs. J. L. Phillips 215 N. 10th St.
Chickasha says: "My kidneys were
out of order and I felt it most in
the small of my back. I got lame
my back ached and I had a tired
languid feeling. Housework was dif-
ficult especially sweeping as it
started a dull nagging ache in the
small of my back. Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved me right away. Doan's
which I buy at The Owl Drug Store
never fail to bring relief and I give
them my hearty endorsement"
