JOHN W LKES BOOTH
Some 40-odd years] ago there was a similar case
in Enid, Okla. A gent known to all Enidites as that
nice John St. Helen confessed on his deathbed that
in reality he wasn’t sc nice at all|. He-said he was
that nasty John Wilkes Booth, thif slayer of Abra
ham Lincoln. Even today, his mummified body is
being exhibited at county fair|j and carnivals
throughout the state is the remains of the famous

However if Oklahoma is going to lay claim to
the suggested name tt ey had better be quick about
it as competition will Ye stiff from other states for

Seeing I was getting nowhfcre I left the bewildered politician and
went back: to my room to stay uiftil time for a caucus of the wheels of
the party. , l
At this time I decided that (my original candidates, Admiral Dewey
and Teddy Roosevelt, didn’t ,stdnd a chance to win the nomination.
Therefore I switched my ^upport to a man that I thought stood a better
chance to win the Republican nojmination.
At eight o’clock 1 entered a small room’ in the rear of the Con
vention Hall and was greeted by jt small group of shirt-sleeved men. The
room was filled with the smoke! from thejr big cigars, and one could
hardly see his hand in front of |ii s face. I
“Oh, come in, Yantis,” the chief said. “If you’ll just empty the
ashtrays now, you can leave thtt spitoons-until tomorrow.” I chuckled
heartily, to show that I can go a ong with u gag.

the group. j

When Harvard College! decided to besto^v upon its presi
dent the honorary degree of S.T.l). . (Doctor of Sacred The
ology) nearly three hundred years, ago, it started a custom
that has had a snow-balling effect in America ever since.
Practically every college and university in the land has tried to
out-do the others in the number.of degrees conferred. And not all are
of the conventianal type. For example, Pennsylvania Military College
made baseball’s Connie Mack a doctor of physical education, Oglethorpe
University bestowed upon William Grecln Of the AFL a DPS (Doctor of
Public Service), and Beaver Co lege of JedkintoWn, Pennsylvania, set a
new precedent by making Admifal Byrd a doctor of faith and fortitude.
It must be admitted that the universities are quick to recognize
ability and pay homage to the me who has it. When William Randolph
Hearst donated $100,000 and 4)0 acres of land to Oglethorpe Univer
sity, the school immediately rei ognized Hearst’s great American spirit
and conferred upon him the cherished LLD.
Sometimes the school sticks its pepk out and gets it chopped off.
For instance, in 1932 the University of.New York honored Richard
Whitney, then president of the New York Stock Exchange, with a dottor
of commercial science. Shortly thereafter Doctor Whitney was cent to

One must admit that the colleges arc among the first to recognize
America’s greatest. Not long ago, two of the best, pugilist Gene Ttmney
and love-lorn adviser Dorothy Dix, were made honorary doctors by
Arnold College and Tulane U livers ity respectively. Along this same
line should come such worthy ci izens as Roy Rogers, Jersey Joe Walcott
and. Betty Crocker. Should these deseryW citizens go ignored?
Many other great pillar j of Americanism have been by-passed
in the rush to honor the notabhs. John L. Lewis should receive a UCD
(Doctor of Utter Confusion), ind possibly a textbook, rather than a
degree, on political science cou d be given Henry Wallace.
Some'progressive school could get u jump ahead of the others
by giving away honorary scholi irships. li there scholarships were made
prerequisites .for honorary degrees, one would be forced to work twice
as hard for an honorary degreb—thus, raising the standard of the de
grees, and giving a school tlje opportunity to honor its benefactor
twice, which might mean twice as much money.
Nevertheless, honorary degrees are here to stay. Whether it is a
Doctor of Foolish Philosophy or a Doctor of General Principles, colleges
will continue to honor personalities who their directors deem are deservi
ing or are in u position to better the sehpoh
