"The divil take it, Pat, thet's whut breaks his mither's heart ontoirely. He wroites me thet he hez jest bin sintinced to the Legislachoor fer two years!"
Life, and labor along its way,
Life, and a shade of sorrow;
But Love is there with her lips of song,
And the sun shines out tomorrow!
To live life happily, to work life earnestly, to leave life fearlessly,—what greater success ever crowned with ivied laurels the infinite brows of Adam's mortal sons?
On Behalf of the Minority.
Note—(The Oklahoma Legislature has a republican majority in both houses, and the following is supposed to be uttered by one of the democratic minority.)
To the Sleek and Fat Majority: We recognize your smoke,
And in meek and humble fashion we have passed beneath the yoke;
We've no foolish reservations: all the earth is yours to claim
With the grandeur of its glory and the fullness of its fame;
So accept our due submission; all we ask is that you give
Ample chance to filibuster and preserve the right to live!
