when the Papers Gone to Press.
I've Sat at banquet tables, and I've seen the
silver shine,
rye tasted every luxury on which we mortals
I've heard the wilt and eioquence of many
famous man,
I've had all sorts OF dinners since my dining
But there's one glad table somewhere that
I'd like to see once more
One bunch I'd like TO meet with when the
long days work Is Ger,
One meal Ia like to rush to after all the
strife and stress
That good old midnight supper when the
papers gone to press.
We held them in the old days in hole down
In the wall,
And many a night the table had no linen
on at ALL
And tho food was far from dainty but the
gang which gathered round
Was the finest bunch OF fellows that could
anywhere bo found.
Then we talked the long day over, with It's
list OF various deeds
Which reporters live and share in, but the
reader only reads;
. We punctured sham with satire, as the boys
still do, ] guess,
Who meet somewhere az midnight when the
papers gone TO press
Now the gang with which l gathered has
been scattered far and wide,
And some of them are wealthy and some
OF them have died
There's new lad writing murders, and
new pen telling tales
or his sad and sorry fellows in the hospitals
ana 1nils,
And l. who once was eager for excitement,
sit sedute
Doing idle rhymes for copy-just dreamer
by the CRATE.
For my day Of youth IL over, age has brought
me some success
But 1t stopped those midnight lunches when
the papers gone to press,
when all the town is sleeping and the mid
night bells have tolled,
The boys who fill the columns will assemble
as of old.
They'll he hungry Just as was, and they'll
be as short of cash,
But the room will ring with laughter and
tho lightning wit will flash;
And some cub viii sit In my place, but he'n
never know care
How many gray old-timers now are wishing
we were there,
For with all the years have brought us, we
stll miss the happiness
or those good old midnight lunches when
the papers gone TO press.

Alarm Clock Is Your Safest Friend
BY NORA COLE SKINNER

alarm tells her to hustle. Five min
utes lying there would be fatal to
her work. She would go to sleep
again or rest more than the allotted
time.
One woman said TO me: I'D just

Most individuals don't get their
rest early in the morning unless
they are people of leisure. and they
don't need rest. Maybe the doctors 4
advice was intended for babies and
farmers. for they bounce up earlier
than the average sleepyhead can
understand.
The babies seem happy and
healthy and surely the farmers are,
and the latter will tell us that we
miss the sweetest time of day and
the best time to work. No alarm
clock calls the farmer, nobody pulls
him out, he just seems to know
when he has had enough sleep. He
gets UP gladly. goes out and feeds,
comes in and eats. and has plowed
two or three times around his farm
before we wake up and remember
TO thank the doctor for telling US
not to bounce.

the clock jingles. and lies there

getting behind early in the morning
keeps him jumping all the day.
The doctors advice is excellent in
theory, but don't you trust II. Start

The okmulgee convention made one thing
giaringy apparent: The only horror the demo-
cratic chieftain feels for Robertson grows out
OF the fear that 1t may lose the party control
of the state offices. Jim and Fred and Prince
and Chris and the balance OF the crew need
fear no rebuke from the party conventions so
long as the party doesn't go on the rocks. But
tho Michigan crimes are something to arouse
all decent mems ire!

In this connection let not another phase OF
the shawnee convention he overlooked There
were negro delegates In that convention, sitting
there with tho same recognized rights NJ tho
other delegates. They were permitted to express
themselves and they were chcered for their ox-
presslons In connection with tho fact that the
negroes have long felt themselves unwclcome
In both OF tho older ORGANIZATIONS, what docs

That their people all over the state were solidly
FOR Jack walton for governor, that he had

The World does not care 10 assume tho role

manipulation OF tho most unconscionabe kind
can he be defeated. And II the machine under

end Because even the democratic organ2a-

Shawnee convention and PLATFORM when 1t gets

Tnr SHAWNEE CONVENTION.

Tho Shawnee convention. composed cxclu-
slycly Of farmer and labor delegates, was a very
unusual gathering IN several respects. II was
the only convention which has been held or
will he held this year under tho old convention
system. II enunciated the platform OF party
and nominated candidates pledged TO that plat
form IN detail.
This It ala although Il is not a party, in tho
sense that It IL putting a third ticket In the
field what It contemplates ~ 10 Invade the
primary OF the democratic party and capture
that pnrtys ticket ana name completely. In
this respect Il becomes gorilla political organ
izatlon which ought 20 have no standing and
ought TO be unsparingly condemned for It's prac-
tces Thus we nre Witnessing another mon
strous consequence of the primary systematic
radical elements of the state openly meeting
and forming party for the express purpose OF
invading the primary OF an existing party and
not only capturing the organization OF that
party but likewise subvertlng Its doctrines In
most revolutionary manner This combining
the old convention system with tho newer pri-
mary system to the complete undoing OF party
organization and government, must give to all
observers OF current political happenings very
considerable phrse.

Considering the type Of men who made up
the convention, their very recent political affil-
iations and beliefs, one wonders what It Is that
brought such a desperate undertaking. that so
tnged their minds with radicalism and Anpelled
them TO set out on a path that has never yet
in all human history led to either satisfaction
or success And inevitably one reaches the con-
clusion that the movement, In its first phase,
was bred of dissatisfaction and mistrust OF both
existing political organizations; that Il is at
bottom a protest against official dishonesty and
inslncerlty; that 1t could never have been born
at least could never have gained its present
momcnum--had the public service not become
so palpably corrupt and profgate.
SO that we see unusual significance in the
fact that ou1 so-caled party convention met at
okmuigce one day and adjourned without the
slghtelt effort to correct existing conditions
and this convention Of radicals met at Shawnee
the next day ana launched its undertaking amid
unbounded enthusiasm. It's lack OF respect for
both Of the old political organizations is mani
fest In the way 1t pillored both, yet took candi-
dates from the ranks OF each to set upon it's own
platform. And the temper OF the public is
likewise manifest in the open tolerance II not
openly expressed sympathy for the movement
which IL discovered everywhere.
The democratic party Of the state faces its
darkest hour when The World, several weeks
ago. forecast precisely the situation that now
exists. It was hooted by the bourbon press II
said then that Jack Walton would enter the
primary for the democratic gubernatorial nom
ination with formidable backing and that
the contest would be between him and Tom
