Political writers who attended
the recent Democratic State Con
vention are agreed that J- B. A.
Robertson loomed head and
shoulders above all others there
as a gubernational probability.
Judge Robertson has shown the
quality of his Democracy under
very trying circumstances and
has rapidly grown in favor among
the party workers in the State.
He was defeated by a nose in the
campaign of 1!>14, the result be-
ing so close that some of his
friends wanted to contest the
count, but when be was assured
that he had been defeated he at
once entered the campaign in be-
half of his successful opponent
and made more effective speech-
es for Williams than any other
man in the State. His support
doubtless lined up countlcss dis-
affected Democrats, and was
largely responsible for Oklahoma
having a Democratic Governor
lm- to-day. On other occasions,
Judge Robertson has shown that
he is Democrat from principle
and not for the purpose of gain-
ing favor or office thereby, and

To be kind and helpful to their fume,
Have you any careless jest?
Bury it and let it rest;
It may wound some loving

Words of love and tenderness,

Words of comfcrt for the sad,
Words of gladness for the glad.
Words of counsel for the bad—

Nobody's sweetheart is ugly.
Wives should always be sweet-
hearts.
Marriage is never a failure, but
every wedding does not make a
marriage.
It is not until the storm comes
that we find out the real timber
of the ship,
To be rich in frie ids is to be
poor in nothing.
Infidelity never raised a man or
a woman from sin. It never took
a drunkard from the gutter, a
gambler from his cards, of the
fallen from a life of shame. It
never found a man coarse or bru-
tal in life and character, and
made of him a kind husband and
father. It never went into hea-
then lands among the morally
depraved and lifted them out of
their degradation to a high state
of civilization. It has never
written down languages, transla-
ted literature or prepared text-
books or planted schools or estab-
lished seminaries and colleges. It
as never founded hospitals for
the sick or homes for the helpless.
What discoveries has it made?
Has it added anything to human
happiness? Does it bring one ray
of comfort to the chamber of
deaih? The religion of Jesus has
done this, and more, too. ' 'The
tree is known by its fruits."
