ROBERTSON FORMS
PRESS CABINET
(Staff Correspondence

Oklahoma City, Jan. l5.-Gov-
ernor Robertson has modelled his
administration, in two instances, al
ter the manner in which President
Wilson conducts his official trans
actions. The governor appeared
yesterday afternoon in person be-
fore the joint session OF the house
and senate and read his first mes
sage. The reading occupied more
than an hour but the entire mem
bership listened attentiyely through
out and frequently applauded sew
eral OF the recommendations, nota-
bly, the highway Improvement and
budget system proposals.
The governors second action
patterned after the president was
the formation OF a press cabinet.
Each forenoon at 1890 o'clock the
executive will receive newspaper
representatives and will dcEote an
hour to giving them data concern
ing official transactions in his OF
ice and will discuss with them mat
tiers OF mutual interest. The first
session OF the cabinet was held
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
when Governor Robertson announc-
ed that he wished to meet all rep
resentatives OF the press and out
line his publicity policy. In briel
the governor said that the depart
ment was open TO the press, with
only the reservation OF not giving
out matters that might prejudice
the interests OF the state by prema-
ture publication.
81 want YOU boys to feel that this
is your home while YOU are en-
gagged in this work, said he. This
Office will be instructed to extend
YOU every convenience and shall
only ask what | know you are go
ing to give me without asking ioT
| it and which ! shall give to you 9
square deal. The records OF tho
Office are open to you at any tim(
for the asking and | know that We
shall be of benefit to each other i
we follow the lines upon which We
have talked this afternoon
The 1890 forenoon session witt
the governor does not OF course
preclude newspaper representa-
tives from interviewing him at an.
time they wish, providing he is no
otherwise occupied. 1t is simply al
expedicnt to gain time by cuttin:
down the number OF routing visit
and putting the men on an equa
basis so far as the distribution o
news is concerned.

WHOSE CHILD?
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

Young Labor was a husky lad,
But poor as poor could be;
He was not good. he was not bad.
But much like you and me.
Miss Land was also poor, although
OF ancient, vast estate:
Her plight was desperate, for oh,
She had no working mate.
These twain were wed: 2 happy pair
or wholesomeness and health,
And soon was born a son and heir
Whose name was christened
Wealth.
a wondrous growing child was he,
A child of smiles and laughter,
And should like to add;-These three
Lived happy ever after.
That's what they should have done,
And so they might have. maybe.
Had not a low-browed thief, named
Greed.
Purloined the precious baby.
This rascal had a dozen names:
Dame Privilege was his mother;
Monopoly's his wife, who claims
Old Profteer as brother.
And now that infant, Wealth, has
grown
AS of a race of giants,
They claim him as their very own,
With insolent defiance.
But IL hold their claim In scorn,
And here's my proof. o. neighbor,
