Told at Oklahoma CITY

Democrats got tho same number
OF house committee chairmanships
the republicans always had when
the democrats were In the majority"
said Lou A. Evcrhart. dean OF the
house. 1T Is probably wrong to hog
all of the house committees by the
majority party, but those Of us who
worked as minority In years gone
by grew accustomed to the rule.
When first came to the house sew
eral years ago, we thought 1t good
politics to fight against the majority
and we never got anywhere except
to be rnu over when the leaders
cracked the whip.
This talk of the democratic
minority running off with the ma
ority is just plain nonsense. There
will ba- many non partisan votes
cast when the members will divide
as should be, but on strictly party
measures those minority democrats
will find our line of defense I'M
prcgnable and they will not buck
the line often before ascertaining
there is no use In trying to make
38 votes overcome 54 1 have often

And the thunder rolls aud rattles like a

But a good old fashioned suowstorfn has no

As A. spreads its spotloS blanket whore the

There's no herald OF It's coming no black
angry patch OF sky,
No great gust OF wind to whistle OF the ri orm

But the birds give up their singing, and the
trees stand straight and still,
And the snow begins To tluttor round the
humblcst window sill.
Then tho noiso OF busy traffic seems some
how to dlo away
While tho world takes on the silence OF a
country sabbath day.

Sees a world OF wondrous beauty yasbcd
