TOO MUCH PARD0NlNG
Jake Admire Adds His Voice TO Grow
Ing Protest.

Guthrie, o. T., July N.-This week
Jacob Admire of Kingisher adds his voice
to the growing protest against the grant
ing OF pardons. Mr.. Admire says: The
executive departments and the courts
are closely matched nowadays and the
race becomes closer every day. The
courts convict and the governors pardon.
There is too much Of this thing. 1t has
got to be so that a conviction, in a
court of justice" does not mean much.
The fight has been fairly commenced.
Sentence is no sooner pronounced, than
the circulation of the petition for pardon
begins The decree of a court, based upon
the verdict Of a jury, ought to be al
lowed to stand. The president and gov
errors should set it aside only when it is
clearly shown that a mistake has been
made. The lawyer who appeared for the
Merchant of Venice in the celebrated case
in which Shylock was plaintiff had the
right side Of this matter. He made his
appeal for mercy to the court, and that
is where it should be exercised. In his
great speech he said:
The quality of mercy is not strand,
1t dropDeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice blest;
1t blesseth him that gives and him that
takes:
It's mightiest as the mightiest; it be-
comes
The throned monarch better than his
crown:
His sceptre shows the force of tempered
power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear Of
kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
1t is enthroned in the heart of kings,
1t is an attribute to God himself:
And earthly power doth there show llkest
Gods
When mercy seasons justice"
The governor of a state is the chief
executive officer. It is his business to
execute the laws.
The courts interpret them. Men are
seldom convicted when they ought not TO
be. They are much oftener acquitted
when they deserve conviction. Our courts
are prone to mercy. They give the ac-
cused the benefit of every doubt, and
judgment is seldom much above the
minimum. The exercise of clemency can
well be left in the hands Of the courts.
They never fail to season justice with
plenty of mercy.

INDIAN HEAP WIS.,"
Wants No Big Reserve OF
Land in Kiowa County.
WHITES WOULD PEG AWAY
Until They Forced the Govern
ment TO Open 1t.

E. Reno. o. T. July H.-Lone Wolf. a
Kiowa chief, says that his people are
not favorable to taking their grazing
lands in large bodies to hold in common
hut each Indian wants his part of the
grazing land himself and adjoining his
homestead allotment, and will not be sat
isfed with it any other way. Emmett
Cox. son-in-law Of Quanah Parker, speak
ing on the same matter, says the Co
manches are also wanting their grazing
lads allotted to them in the same man
ner-that the Kiowas advocate.
This being the case it is more than
probable that each Indian ION the reser-
walton viii be allotted 800 acres in sew
crafty instead Of 100 acres as home
stead and the $4,000 acres 10 be held in
common for grazing purposes.
The INDIANS claim that if as large
body Of land as 10000 acres were laid
off in one tract the white man would
never be satisfied until it was opened TO
settlement. thereby making more trouble
for the Indians.
J. p. Sampson says that the stories
that the Kiowa country is full Of sooners
is the basest of fa6rlcations. He writes.
!, with I'VE OlLtI Sc-itIt44iSA+ - '4i4-7 49,
have just returned from a weeks trip
through the Comanche, Kiowa and
Apache reserya tons and we find not a
se:nb-ance Of the condition Of affairs in
that country as stated by the South Nc
Alester dispatches. After travelling over
a very large area Of the reservation we
can from personal observation make the
following statement:
Not a single sooner or squatter was
seen on the reservation. The Indians are
undistur5cd. peaceab!e and contsnted, and
are. taking their allotments where they
chose at their own leisure.
The Indian police have found but few
intrulers-nainers in the mountains-who
left the reservation as soon as notified
TO DO so by the Indian agent. These
facts we get from A government Official
whom we met in the mountains and who
said that no trouble whatever was antic-
inated These are facts as we found
them on the reservation, and can be at
tested TO by the party Of gentlemen who
were with us on the trip through the
Comanche, Kiowa and Apache reserva-
tons last week.

COMPLIMENT TO PERRY
ID description of the City BY Mr. Jacob
StOtIer

Guthrie, o. T., July 21-Jacob Stotler,
the new editor of the Perry Republican,
gives his new home this neat compliment
in the paper this week: Perry sung
out the railroad brakeman and the writer
gathered himself together and was soon
on the platform listening to the enticing
stories of the hotel rustlers. He was
tired and sleepy and little time was lost
between the depot and a good bed and
cool room at the Perry hotel Seven
o'clock the next morning found him look
ing around. This was to be his new
home and he was anxious for a glimpse.
He found several closely built streets,
packed on either side with big and little
business places, of all descriptions, in
Guiding some fine looking stores in all
classes of goods, the usual complement
of restaurants lunch counters, saloons,
etc, as we'll as a large brick school house,
several neat and commodious churches,
all presenting the appearance of a thriv-
ing and attractive young city. not yet
seven years old, with push and energy
apparent on every hand. There are three
newspapers, one of which is daily, two
cotton gins, a fine mill and elevator,
some solid brick and stone buildings that
look like they had come to stay, L. S.
land Office a stone postoffice and a gem
eral air of enterprise, thrift and faith in
the outcome Of the town. \ block from
the depot, which is at the east end Of
town, is a fine large public square con-
tanning a white frame court house Of
sufficient dimensions for the public bust
ness, and best Of all, the square is filed
with thrifty looking young elm trees that
Will soon prove an everlasting benefit 10
the town and county and JOY forever.
The writer is something Of a crank on
trees, and is especially glad TO note this
evidence Of thrift and tribute to the aes-
thetic tastes OF the young town. The
slope is gradual TO the top OF the rise
and forms a very handsome townsite On
the rise are many of the homes OF the
city. They are tasty places and an addi-
ti0nal tribute 20 the intelligence and re-
hnement Of the inhabitants Of Perry
When we reflect on the possibilities OF
western towns. and note The evidences
CT the town spirit that exists here on all
sides we have little fear for the good out
come OF Perry"

the suit OF Admiral w. T. Sampson

of the destruction Of the Spanish feet.
The court declares that Admiral Samp-

Spanish squadron is found by the
court to have been inferior to the

GOLD MEDAL CONTEST.
The Plan Of Conducting It-At M. &.
Church Tonight.


The plan of holding contests in
which not less than six nor more than
eight young people should take part
at one time was originated by w. Jen-
nings Demorest, several years ago,
and has resulted in arousing more
public sentiment in favor of prohibi-
tion than any other one line of work
of the w. c. T. U. There are SER
les of these medals granted to success
full contestants in each Of the four
grades of contests, silver medal, gold
medal, grand gold, and diamond
medal. Nine silver medal contests
have been held in New Mexico within
the past three months. The contest
tonight at the Methodist church is a
gold medal contest, the participants
being: Ella Day, Carlos Creamer, of
Santa Fe, Estelle Greenwald, Socorro,
Edith Baylis, Gallup, Ralph Tascher,
Albuquerque, and Tillie Houston, Las
Vegas. These young people have sill
yer medals, recently won and tonight
they contest for the gold medal. They
have shown remarkable interest in the
affair, all but one coming from distant
parts of the Territory. They will
doubtless be favored with large aud
ience, they certainly deserve it.
