A. L M. Commencement,
Commencement exercises be-
gan last Saturday evening w'ith
an entertainment by the Omega
Literary society at the college
assembly hall.
Sunday morning the baccalau-
reate sermon was delivered by
Rev. Virtes Williams of this
city.
Monday evening the annual
Alumni exercises were held and
Tuesday, June 4th was com-
mencement day proper. Ttr.s
was a very interesting day. The
annual address wras delivered by
the Hon. Sydney Clark, of Okla-
homa City, who was followed by
Gov. Jenkins, at the closing of
which came the conferring of
degrees.
President Scott's remarks in
presenting the diplomas were
eloquent.
Wednesday evening was the
annual banquet of tho Alum-
ni which closed the commence-
ment exercises.
to tell you how to become a suc-
cessful politician. You did wisely
in coming to me, for 1 have grad-
uated in the art. and have even
taken a few post-graduate
courses and examined the anat-
omy of the animal at close range.
Being now retired and wholly
intent upon the great task of
washing my sins awray and escap-
j ing the “big bonfire,” I can tell
you the truth with a guilty con-
science, but the task I have as-
sumed is heavy. How to be an
unsuccessful politician I could an-
swer in a sentence. The formula
is easy: Hew to the line of
honest principles, tell the truth,
keep faith,punish no enemies,be-
lieve in other’s promises, re-
pudiate bad nominees, and your
name will be the same as that of
a successful politician of your
Territory, but there the similar-
ity ceases. But how to be a suc-
cessful politician opens up a lab-
rynthian vista that Eden's snake
could get lost in. Hut having
set my feet in the path I shall
not turn back. Keep right hold
of your grand father's hand and
we will see where wTe come out
Moses’ principles, but he broke
the whole code at one time, anil
do you think you are sujier
ior to Moses* And wiiy should
n't the vote of the people of
.your county or district decide
what your principle# should be*
If your neighbors' principles are
good forthem are they not equal-
ly good for you? A vote decided
what books should constitute
an inspired Bible, and a Presby-
terian Snyod decides by vote up
on the truth of a creed. Are
you purer than a conclave of
bishops, or more infallible
than a synod? Besides, don
you think you might be mistaken
in your principles if you had
a position upon a winning ticket.
Men do make mistakes. And
isn’t it sad to see a mistaken
man fall foot-sore and

when, if he had corrected his
errors, he might have ridden in
the band-wagon?
And you think the people
would criticise you if you chang-
ed your politics? But success is
never criticised. It is only the
unsuccessful man that gets kick-
ed for his failure. And you
have a complete defense to such
slanders in the profound and
wrell worn proverb, “Wise men
change their minds, fools nev
er.” You will find great conso-
lation in this effective remark.
It will soothe your conscience
(for not yet having become a suc-
cessful politician I assume you
have such a rara avis as a con-
science concealed about your
person), declare yourself wise
and place your detractors among
the catalogue of fools. The
logic is unassailable. Ah, go to,

main, Your hopeful

Since that time Mr. Roliert* has
represented the company ill tin*

ance whatever in thi* short per
tod has written* $07,000 worth of

has become attached to the coun-
try and seeing the wonderful

elegant office in the First Na

Whether you are interested in
Assurance or not, you will be

such courtesy that makes One
