Glynn Pitches Keynote For
| Democratic Battle Before
The Convention
 GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, JUNE ir>, 1910.
HUMAN FLAG ACCLAIMS AMERICAN LIBERTY DAY
♦i.OO PER YEAR
St. Louis, June 14.—The democrat-
ic national convention at its first ses-
sion Wednesday heard the keynote of
Americanism and peace, preparedness
and prosperity, sounded by former
Governor Glynn of New York, as tem-
porary chairman, and with a high
pitch of enthusiasm emphatically
registered toy demonstration after
demonstration, its approval of Presi-
dent Wilson's peaceful conduct of
foreign affairs.
The convention affairs which had
gotten under way with such, per-
functory demonstrations as mark
every national gathering of the kind,
soon stirred itself into roaring cheers
as Chairman Glynn cited historic
parallels to show that other presi-
dents, including republicans, had ad-
justed threatening foreign situations
without resort to war.
"The policy of the administration"
he declared, "has been just as Am-
erican as the American flag itself."
He went down the list of presidents
recounting their action to avoid war
the delegates iaught the spirit of his
argument and as he referred to each
particular president, some delegate
would call, "What did he do?"
"He settled the trouble by negotia-
tion," was the reply Glynn invariably
returned and the convention would
road its approval. William J. Bry-
an as a newspaper correspondent in
the press stand wept with emotion as
Glynn pictured the victories of peace
but he laughed with the crowd when
a Texas delegate, interrupting Glynn
leaped to his chair and cried:
"And don't forget that policy is
also satisfactory to William Jennings
Bryan!"
Aside from a sixteen minutes dem-
onstration when Chairman Glynn pre-
dicted President Wilson's re-election,
Glynn's speech was sprinkled with
demonstrations which he found it
difficult to stem so he could go on.
It was plain that the telling points
on the delegates were the recital of
President Wilson's effort to keep the
country at peace.
"This policy," he said, "may not
satisfy the fire-eater and swash-
buckler. But it does satisfy the
mothers of the laud at whose hearth
and fireside no jingoistic war has
placed an empty chair. It does sat-
isfy the daughters of this land from
bluster and brag have sent no loving
brother to the dissolution of the
jgrave. It does satisfy the fathers of
| this land and the sons of this land
I who will fight for our flag and die
for our flag when reason primes,
reason primes the rifle; when honor
draws the sword and when justice
breathes a blessing on the standard
they uphold."
No other president since the civil
war, Glynn told the convention, had
faced such crucial problems, none
!had displayed a grasp of statesman-
ship more profound.

St.J oseph Academy's Twenty-
Third Annual.
RecitA1 On the Campus Under the
Trees Admired lly Large
Audience.
The twenty-third annual recital of
the graduates of St. Joseph's Academy
was given this year under the trees on
the campus, Thursday evening and
was witnessed by a large audience.
The novel idea of the Sisters was a
happy thought and they wondered
themselves why they had not had their
recitals there in previous years in-
stead of in the opera house down
town. A throne was improvised south-
west of the main building and natures
lawn stage in front, with tine green
sward for a carpet. Lamps and fes-
toons were hung upon the treee, and
facing this Arden's bower seats for
the audienoe. It was a fairy bower
indeed, and well it was that it was
such for the cast of evening's pagentry
were the enacting of fairy tales.
The first on the program was, how-
ever, an address by Mies Doolittler
county superintendent, and it was
worthy of an experienced teacher, full
of professional knowledge and philos-
ophy of life. Miss Doolittle showed at
her.best, and many wondered why the
public has not had more of her in the
speaking world.
Then the fairies really came out of
from behind trees. Real fairies too,
as sweet and bewitching as ever
painter painted, or poet sang about.
The moonlight illusion was entitled,
""A Trip to Fairyland." A piano was
hidden somewhere among the trees
and the white cherubs sang in child-
ish trebble as they danced. The next
spectacular drama was, "Flora; or
The May Quben Festival," and follow-
ing this "The Realm of the Queen of
Peace." All was fairy enchantment.
There were fairies, sprites, pixies,
queens, gypsies and what not, from
little flutterers, no bigger than a ball
of thistledown, to big and stately
j maiden queens of fairy land, made to
| love. It was a beautiful transition of
I tabalaux and the audience enjoyed it
hugely and applauded rapterously. It
all ended all of a sudden, with the
Queen of Peace on the throne, an
.American flag unfurling above her
head, a hallow of flashlight wrapping
all and the fairies all in one voice
I reciting a tribute to the emblem of
, American liberty, that was really one
of the finest tributes in words and
manner ever paid.^ The queen then
distributed the diplomas to the gradu-
; ates, and Father iStanaert delievered
the final address. His address was
| full of lofty advice to the students.
' of encouragement and inspriration.
, Twlo Musical Recitals.
j Two piano graduating recitals were
1 given during the week. Miss Lillian
DOuthitt gave hers Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. The recital was given
from the main east entrance. John
Golobie presented Miss- Douthitt to
the audience. Her repertory follows
and was rendered with taste and deli-
cate interpretation.
