Old Champ Clark has no sore
spots. While many of his friends be-
lieve that he did not get fair deal
in the convention and that the asper-
sions upon his character were un-
just, he does not intend to sulk in
his tent during the coming campaign.
He is too big a man and too loyal
a democrat to permit a personal
grievance to affect his duty to his
party and to his country. One Of
the first messages received by Wood
row Wilson after his nomination was
assured, came from the speaker, and
was as follows:
"Just leaving for Washington. l
congratulate you on your hard-earned
victory. l will do all l can to elect
you.

Texhoma seems to be having her
round OF bad luck the past few
weeks: two fires which amount to
about $55,O0O loss; a house struck
by lightning and torn up consider
able; a mans team killed by light
ming and he narrowly escapes death
and still the Texhoma Times re-
marks; ut might have been worse, y
Those people have the kind Of spirit
that will win. It is not the puny,
weakened sister, that makes good
in this world, under the ordinary cir
cumstances; there are too many dis
appointments to bear and rough roads
to travel for that kind. 1t is not
what happens to us in this life that
counts so much, as does the way in
which we cope with what comes
along. The Texhoma people are not
of the gutter type, and you can make
safe bet that the town will build up
again better than before.

How To Keep Your "Beak"
Out Of Other Peoples
Business

The first step to be taken In &C
complishing this great benefit to all
mankind, must be to acquire bust.
ness of your own, and tend to that
your business, with such determine,
ton as to make 1t the best business
In the world, and you yourself the
most skilled artist at your business,
in the world. You will not be so in
terested then in saying things about
other people, or even In listening to
things others say, that are strictly
none of your business. You may II
you wish keep your eyes and ears,
open, but If you do, for PHYS sake
to humanity, keep your mouth shut
and profit yourself by the wisdom
you gain, in place of going about
like a sneak peddling petty scandal,
which grows so swiftly in enOrmlty,
and causes so much tragedy. View
the frailness of human nature with
compassion; pity all forms of human
weakness and defect; and condone
as far as possible their faults, even If
in your heart, you abhor 1t. Much
good can be done that way. We al
make mistakes. No one is perfect
no not by a thousand miles. What
right have you then, to rave, and
gossip and bitterly condemn any fell
low being for his sins, when you
break just as important laws in the
other direction. Do not go about
gossiping of other peoples affairs, no
matter what you think about their
actions; and then shrug your shout
ders and draw your coat of self
closely about you lest
it become contaminated. Just let
some one attack you on your weak
point and see how quickly you will
display the white flag and the yell
low streak" You must, then, folks,
to keep your business from being
business that is none of your bust
ness, have a business Of YOUR OWN
and tend strictly to 1t. Pity others
mistakes and sins and remember that
you have a little pity coming to you
perhaps. And above all,
10 not! PLEASE DO NOT! GOSSIP,
There was an old owl who lived in

platsorm-nakers write for him may
seize this moment to pay tribute
to him as fine type OF the man who
appreciates that learning to be useful
must be applied to practical purposes.
The universities of the world are
turning out every year thousands OF
educated men and women, the bulk
of whom are never after heard from,
not because of their inefficiency, nor
because Of an inferiority of their at
tainments, but because most of them
fail to find practical application for
the use of their talents.
Governor Wilson shares with
Roosevelt an appreciation of his
learning by making daily use of it.
Neither is an example of any particu-
lar specialization, but they are both
of them men of very general culture.
Following Wilson's graduation
from Princeton In 1879 and his Sc
curing OF a masters degree in 1882,
he practiced law for time, and then
in keeping with the degree of bach
elor of laws conferred upon him by
the University of Virginia, he began
teaching history and political econo-
my in 1885, receiving the degree OF
doctor Of philosophy from John Hop
kins in 1886. This much alone would
indicate very extensive study of the
subjects to which he has applied his
career.
The great point in his career, how
ever, is not in his learning which was
recognized by so many institutions.
From 1887 to the present time the
various universities, John Hopkins,
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale,
Brown, Williams, and Dartmouth,
and many others have given him hon
orary degrees.
But there are hundreds of men who
receive similar recognition from dis
eliminating institutions who remain
mediocre so far as popular recogni-
ton is concerned
Woodrow Wilson is distinguished
in the fact that his learning brought
him opportunity for smaller honors
wherewith he demonstrated himself
worthy of greater ones.
AS president of Princeton from
1902 to 1910, in an institution with
which he had become thoroughly
familiar as professor he inaugural
ed changes and reforms which gave
character to his administration.
So 1t was again when a boss-rid-
den state selected him as governor.
He demonstrated that with learning,
the scholar in American life to be
successful must blend with learning
a strenuous activity. 1t was because
of his practical activity as a governor
that he won recognition by his party
as being presidential timber.
The cause of collegiate training
has been advanced by this honor to
a scholar who strives to make knowl-
edge something more than an at
tainment in itself. Wichita Eagle.

the Democratic party will teach a
lesson to many young men who have
already found much that Is exem-
plary in the governors career.

has been given to him in very mo-

is by no means his first acquaintance
with recognition.

The nomination of Wilson upon a
progressive platform, has filed very
well indeed, the vacancy much
howled for by Mr.. Roosevelt. Every
progressive voter in the country can
be governed by a strict regard for
the dictates of conscience, and vote
for MIR. Wilson. He has eliminated
the need for a new party. II the Col
of Oyster Bay gets out of the game
now, we might be inclined to believe
that he really is interested in pro-
gressive legislation, more than in his
own personal ambition to Nall Taft's
