ALICE IS SMART

Morning news reports yesterday
told OF Alice Robertson's coupe in
disarming her political enemy, Vic
tor Locke, by that ancient route
the stomach. Miss Alice, congress
woman from the Muskogee district
had spirited disagreement with
Locke, who is head Of Indian affairs
in this state, and it looked for a
time as il they would never bury
the hatchet.
Then Miss Alice resorted to a
simple and effective method that
every woman knows--she lured
Victor into her restaurant in Musko-
gee and fed him buttermilk and
greens. IL is no reflection on Victor
that he fell--who wouldn't.

CALL A CONVENTION

Strong pressure is being brought
TO bear upon democratic leaders to
prevent the calling OF state con-
vention on August IS. This pres
sure has its origin among the SOC
alist leaders who helped nominate
Mr.. Walton, and it is being voiced
by strong republican papers such
as the Tulsa World. The socialist
leaders naturally expect Mr.. Wal
ton TO make his final voyage to
the state capital upon the Shaw
nee Labor Farmer craft, while
these aforesaid republican papers
are for anything that will go to-
ward shipwrecking the democratic
craft.
The Ardmoreite believes the pro-
posed state convention is almost a
necessity and certainly it should
be called as early as is compatible
with the convenience of democratic
leaders.
At this time hundreds of strong
and staunch democrats are tread
ing the narrow neutral path of in
decision. They look with misgivings
upon republicanism and all that it
might imply to Oklahoma, yet they
are nauseated when they remember
some of the doctrines preached
during the primary campaign.
Such old time democrats as Paul
Nesbitt, Ben Lafayette and Morton
Rutherford have insisted all along
that Jack Walton is a democrat
and nothing else. Then why any
hesitancy in calling a convention.
Jack Walton, a democrat must
have a democratic platform, as
surediy.
Some OF the things advocated by
the Walton apostles may well be
worked into strictly democratic
platform. With some OF the theo-
ries propounded there is no middle
ground-they are not democratic
and never will be.
II Mr.. Walton refuses to enter
into a democratic convention and
if he refuses to accept a democrat
ic platform for his campaign-even
then he may be elected governor
OF this state, but we surmise it
will be without the aid OF a vast
concourse of democrats who can
lind no middle ground OF comprom-
ise as the issues are now confused.

HAREMS

Achmed Abdullah, fiction writer,
back from the Orient, says the
harems' queens boos their co-opera-
tive husbands more than Friend
Husband is reputed to toe the
mark in America.
Some women always become the
power behind the throne, regard
less OF environment. The stronger
or the wiser personality usually
rules in marriage, no matter which
sex. Leadership generally is by
letting the partner have his or her
way in a great many small things,
but not in big matters.

saying that marriage is a ystem OF
compromise-"give and take"

FAME YOU DESERVE

The world knows nothing about
its greatest men. Our greatest
are not stars who live by exhibi-
ton OF themselves and abilities,
but quiet people who think and
work in modest seclusion
Walkley, brilliant dramatic critic
OF the London Times, makes this
observation. 1t is true.
History will remember the
great men who plunged the
world into the World War. His
tory will paint in bright colors the
men who carried on the work OF
destruction for more than four
years.
But history will be strangely sill
ent about greater than these
the plodders who now are patiently
repairing the damages toiling to
rebuild a civilization burned out
to its very skeleton.
The men who really are repair
ing the wars damages are not the
Prominent Gentlemen who get
their names in the newspaper head
lines. The real builders are the
farmers toiling to restore food sup
ply to normal, the mechanics fur
nishing the materials to replace
what was destroyed, and the un-
advertised millions contributing
their daily mites to the war debt.
A peculiar thing, is fame. And
always it is unfair, the lucky in
dividual getting more than he de-
serves.
Watt is famous for inventing
the steam engine. Yet his discov-
cry OF the principle would have
been worthless if il had not been
for the unknown thousands who
patiently had worked out mechani-
cal movements and methods of
converting iron ore into steel. All
Watt did was gather up these
loose ends, put them together, add
a new idea and march into history
with credit for the whole thing.
All famous men borrow" nine
tenths OF their invention, skill or
art.
Men work with many things,
from farm soil to metals and chem
ical magic. In proper combina-
tons, these bring fame.
But the greatest material man
works with is man himself-his
character. And the greatest men
are the ones who emerge with the
greatest character.
Character, by its example and
contagion, is the only thing
man can build with pcrmanencc.
1t outlasts the Pyramids.
And you, as you look back over
your life, probably will agree that
the greatest person you ever met
was some individual who rose
above obScriitj. Ye. he made
success OF his life.
Fame is tutile. Crave It not.
What counts most is personal sat
isfaction with what we have made
OF ourselves and our hie's work.
We leave this world as we enter
it-alone-and in the last analysis
each man is his own best Judge.
