divers and numerous heads, all heads
collectively under the direct super
vision OF a governor, or man or Sc;
Of men into a particular office un-
der the chief executive head OF a
big business like the state Of Okla
homa there is more or less friction
until these department heads-these
clerks, as it were-become familiar
with the routine of their work.
In other words, the work OF every
business has TO be systemauzed by
the incoming management. Before
it is systematized there is a condi'
ton more or less chaotic. After
the systematization has become effect
i've all matters resolve themselves
into a smoothly revolving mass OF
well regulated machinery.
/ Governor Cruce, the executive head
of this state, the head OF this big
business concern, has had charge OF
the affairs OF the people for well on
to two years. He has the states
business we'll organized and the daily
grind coming TO the states mill is
being turned out regularly and sys-
tematically. The big business, the
monster machine, is operating
smoothly and harmoniously. Smooth
ly because every department mana
ger, every clerk, every operative has
become thoroughly afmiliar with his
particular nook and corner and knows
every detail of the duties OF his
work.
1t took time to accomplish this
time, energy and perseverance. From
chaos has come organized method
and familiarity with detail has re-
duced to system every bit the
work of each and every department
To accomplish this end the govern
or, Governor Cruce, when he was in
= augurated the manager of this big
business cast about him and select
ed those to act as his assistants
whom years of active business e.
perience told him would be found
; worthy and we'll qualified That he
, made no mistake in his selections
. is in evidence by the fact that
t Cruce, in his administration Of the
affairs of this young state, has prov
, en- himself a most resourceful man.
The most resourceful governor OF
J any state in the union.
J Had he have made any but the
wisest selections in choosing those
, to fill the various offices directly
; connected with the states manage
ment, Governor Cruce would not to-
, day bear the reputation he has for
, resourcdfulness. No matter how
competent, no matter how worthy
q. and well qualified he is himself, no
matter what amount of brain worry
and hard work he might have put
forth, no matter how much force
of character he might have shown he
would have been powerless to have
produced the great results which
he has produced, had he have sur
rounded himself by any but those
who we're not only resourceful them
selves, but who have proven them
selves not only true to the man who
appointed them, but true TO the peo-
pie of the greatest young state in
this union of states.
With their appointment these men
particularly the members OF the State
Board of Education, went immediate
" to work to reduce their several
departments to an order OF reSula-
ton which would meet the demands
of the people. Now after over
years hard work they have succeed
ed in getting things into the very
finest of working shape and, in our
humble opinion, We think that 1t
would be little less than suicidal
to remove any member Of this board
from office.
We know the members of the
board, know them to be each and
all, jointly and severally, qualified
for the positions which they hold
BY the hardest and most arduous
of personal work these men have
