SOME OF TOM WATSON’S SAYINGS
The man who strives merely to run
with the biggest crowd is, at best, a
sorry creature. The man who strives lo
be right and to do right is, after all,
the only citizen who can rest under
the infinite comfort of an approving
conscience.—From an editorial in 1905.
No man holds his life for himself,
but holds its splendid gifts as a trustee
—a trustee who must come to an ac¬
count some day with the Most High.
—From an editorial.
There is glory in defending the right,
no matter how goes the tide of success.
There is inspiration in working for the
plain people when they cheer you as
they are cheering.—From an editorial.
Let no man he ashamed of being in
the minority. Let him be ashamed only
of being in the wrong.—From a speech
delivered in 1904, during his campaign
as Populist candidate for president.
One motive should be supreme. Let
there he no populists, no democrats,
but simply southern men who stand to¬
gether for the common rights of our
native land.—From a speech before the
cotton convention in New Orleans in
1905:
To the ordinary man the block of
marble, just from the quarry, is a
rough block of marble, and it is noth¬
ing more. In his hands it would never
be anything more. But the sculptor,
looking upon the same rude block, sees
“an angel within the stone”, and deft¬
ly with his chisel he works and works
until that which was in his mind is
hodied forth in the stone, and the world
possesses an Apollo, a Greek slave, a
Venus—“a thing of beauty and a joy
forever”. So there can never be go jd
government, wise laws, just laws, hap¬
py conditions, until some statesman
conceives the ideas and works with all
his soul and heart and mind to bring
forth into actual existence that which
he has conceived.—From an editorial.
My heart may be dirt long before the
good times return—yet nothing but a
voice from on high could make me wa¬
ver in the belief that the southern
ideuls will come again. They must, or
the last of the great republics is doom¬
ed.—From a discussion of the country
in his book. “Socialists and Socialism.
Figs are not gathered from thistles,
nor are happy results to be obtained
from unjust laws.—Editorial in the
New York World in 1906.
Another one of the funny things of
this war-bug is to hear a Jewish tenor
singing an Irish love-sopg, to a march¬
ing air.—Topic In the Sentinel in 1917.
No banner flies from any pinnacle
which marks the high tide of human
achievement until after countless thous
ands have spent their strength and
their lives to plant it
comment in the Jeffersonian, 1917.
Truth is not the Jaek-o-Lantern mov
ing in a zig-zag course, leading the
traveler at night into the bog. Truth
is a steady beacon light that blazes
across the stormy waters, winter and
summer, year after year, by whose
radience the mariner steers and es¬
capes the reefs where the ships go to
the bottom.—Campaign speech in New
York, 1904.
It is estimated that there will be
13.500.000 gasoline engines in use in
1923. Figuring an average of 420 gal¬
lons of fuel a year for each, the petro¬
leum industry’ will have to provide
5.670.000. 000 gallons of gasoline during
the twelve months beginning January
I. At the present rate of one barrel of
gasoline to four barrels of crude, this
would require a crude oil production of
540.000. 000.000 barrels.
Oklahoma produces more high grade
crude petroleum than any other single
state in the union. The latest official
figures indicate an output of more than
400,000 barrels a day.

before the celebration?”
“No, ihanks,” said the boy, “we
want the fun! We don’t want to
rest.”
“No, indeed,” said the girl, “we
don’t need any rest. “Let’s have the
fun!”
“Then I’ll call all your friends,” said
the brownie.
He gave a long whistle and from
the woods nearby, from behind trees,
from the branches of trees, from
everywhere their friends kept coming.
“Congratulations, Boy! Congratula¬
tions, Girl!”
“You took an awful chance when
you said we’d be at the Hospitality
hotel in this valley this evening, Mr.
Wood Elf,” said the girl.
“Not so much of a chance, for here
we are!” said Mr. AVood Elf.
“Oh, you’ll get along so much fast¬
er now. Soon you’ll be at the House
of Secrets. Oh joy, oh joy. I’m so
glad, I’m so gay.”
And they looked and saw the
brownie Joy, his face all smiles, and
of course he was full grown, for he
had no need to shrink now with srt’
row!
They saw all their friends nndi every¬
one shook hands with them and con¬
gratulated them.
“AVe’ll get conceited,” said the boy.
“1 should say so,” said the girl,
“with all this praise we’re getting.”
“Not a bit of it,” said Master
Thoughtfulness. “Just hear what the
Judge has to say.”
“Judge?” said the boy
“We don’t remember meeting u
judge,” said the girl.
“No,” said Master Thoughtfulness,
“but there are to be some new friends
here, too. The Judge is one of them.
Here he is.”
From behind an enormous stone ap¬
peared the head of a rather elderly,
very dignified man, wearing a white
wig which was tied at the back (for
some of the wig hung down in a lit¬
tle curl) with a black silk ribbon.
Then the man got up, and he was
very tall and fine looking.
“Even though I am a judge,” he
said, “you needn’t be afraid of me.
I’m going lo enjoy the celebration, too.
Joy wouldn’t like it if even I left him
out, and I wouldn’t do it for worlds,
would I, Joy?”
“No, judge, your honor, you would
not!’’
“Judge,” said Master Thoughtful¬
ness. “will you make a little speech
to the boy and the girl and tell them
why we all think and feel they won’t
become conceited?”
“Tes, indeed,” said the judge, “and
my speech will be short, because I
want to enjoy the
great festivities,
and speech mak¬
ing isn’t the most
festive thing in
the world — not
really!”
“Speech, just
the same, Judge,”
they all shouted.
“Gnomes, Elves.
Brownies, Giant,
Ladles and Gen
tlemen, Old Ob¬
stacle Brothers,
and most of all,
Boy and Girl, this
is to greet you
and to wish you
well. The court

AA’e’ve had reports of what has taken
place along the way, and just before
we stopped work for the day. about
a half hour ago, the jury came to a
verdict in the case of the Boy and
the Girl of Not Guilty of Anything
Except Being a Regular Boy and Girl."
Just then twelve creatures, who
looked like wise and learned brown¬
ies, wearing caps and gowns, appeared,
and they said, all together:
“AVe unanimously vote for the girl
and the boy.”
"And,” added the Judge, “my full
name is Judge Just I’raise. I believe
in just praise. You deserve praise,
you two, and Joy and everyone who
was fair and square and honest
wouldn't think much of me if I couldn’t
give a little deserved praise once in
a while. It's oue of the important
