AMERICANISM CREED.
"I believe a the United States of America and the prin
ciples of freedom, justice, equality and humanity ujton 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 love it ; to
support its constitution; to obey its laws; to 'respect it flag;
and to defend it against all enemies."
HASKELL AND FERRIS HERE.
Charles .V Haskell, first governor of Oklahoma and now nunv
Dcfed anion); the big ones in New York, and Scott Ferris, con
gressman from this district for many years, will be guests (,
Vhickasha this evening and will speak in behalf of the democratic
ticket.
Few, if, any men, have more friends in Oklahoma than these
popular party ehicf tains who have served so well in 1h past,
winning distinction at home and abroad. It is rertain that they
will have worth-while democratic messages to give tis. Let's give
them a large nudiencc and an attentive hearing. It is good to
have them with tis again; they are assured of a cordial welcome.

PROGRESS SLOW BUT SURE.
In the course n article filled with interesting facts, the
Manufacturers Rccora rets forth some of the history of liquor
legislation in the Un'cd States, which may tend to relieve the
anxiety of those who fear that prohibition will never prohibit.
In 1794 there was an uprising in Pennsylvania, known as the
"Whiskey Rebellion." against the enforcement of the excise law
which had been enacted by congress in March,' 1791, on domestic
spirits. The attempt to enforce the law was followed by wild
excesses, stormy times and riotous violence, the federal revenue
officers in some cases being tarred and feathered. So aggressive
became the violators of the law that in order to crush what
reached the magnitude of a rebellion against the government
Washington sent a large military force into Western Pennsylvania
against these law violators. One of the most prominent leaders
fled Jo New Orleans and others were tried and convicted of treason,
though subsequently pardoned. "
A somewhat similar condition developed in 1862 and continued
for ten years following the enactment by congress of a tax on
wiuskey.
In the "Whiskey Rebellion" in 1794 and between 1862 and
1872 the activity of the liquor interests against the enforcement of
these laws was, in proportion to populations, greater even than
is the present fight against the Volstead act and the 18th amend
ment. In regard to the situation prevailing between 1862 and 1872
the New York Journal of Commerce, one of the foremost of the
commercial publications of the country and which is not a pro
hibition advocate, gives the following interesting facts:
"In the year 1861 whiskey was not taxed, and the price fell as
low as thirteen cents a gallon in .the Cincinnati market. In fact
as one of our early economic writers remarked, 'previous to 1860
a man could undoubtedly get drunk in the United States with a
less expenditure of money than in any part of the civilized world.'
Due to the tax needs of Civil war time, congress laid a tax of
twenty cents per gallon by the act of July 1, 1862, and later raised
it successively to sixty cents, $1.50, and even $2 per gallon by
December, 1864. It is interesting to note that it was found by
careful investigation that during the succeeding six years up to
1868 only about fifteen to twenty Per cent on the average nf nil
the whiskey manufactured in this country ever naid anv tax at
all. Even as late as the years 1871 and 1872 the Whiskey Ring
and other scandals in our national administration reached a point
c f rascality and open dishonesty seldom equaled even bv the
palmiest experiences of the bootleggers of the present day. Dur
ing the years following the exposure of these scandals there was a
gradual stiffening up in the internal revenue service, with the
final result that, with the exception of certain districts of especial
difficulty, the excise laws were Enforced with comparative thor
oughness and efficiency. .In the light -of this experience, ten or
fifteen years is not too long a period to attain the efficient enforce
ment of any prohibition law,; and probably more time will be
needed for a stringent measure such as the Volstead act, if ever
it is to become effective."
The lawlessness of the liquor fraffio its murderous activities
and its effort to control politics, as in the scandal days of 1862
to 1872, when the reputations of many public men were forever
ruined, is only in keeping" with the lawlessness of the present.
But in crushing these activities the mills of the gods may grind
plowly but ft the end '.hey grind exceedingly fine and civilization
each time makes one step forward and buries forever in ruin the
reputations of the liquor-interest advocates. -

If it is true that the coal operators of the country are consider
ing a movement to lift the present immigration restrictions, the
best advice to give them is: forget it. More material has already
been poured into the "melting pot" than can be wdrked up for
many years, and America is riot in a mood to sanction any sugges
tion looking toward a more lax immigration policy. It is said
that the operators complain of labor shortage but all the informa
tion available shgws that there are many more miners in the
country than are needed to keep the coal mines going; in fact,
this condition seems to be the crux of the labor problem as it
affects coal mining. The thorough Americanization of the foreign
"""UKS wc "uw nave win require years ot studied et fort, and
until this is accomplished, all talk of "letting down the bars" ao-ain
should be silenced. -
