Secretary OF War William II. Taft in
Convention hall advised 10000 auditors
and all citizens OF Oklahoma and In

ton recently adopted by the conven-

state OF Oklahoma. He declared that
the next session OF congress would

Taft explained that he was not here

the president. Secretary Taft discuss

as In the Columbus co. speech.

THE GOVERNORS REASONS.

The action of Gov. Claude Swan
son in committing the sentence of
the colored man Joseph Thomas.
alias John Wright. to imprisonment
for life will be cordially approved By
right thinking people. regardless OF
race or color everywhere. Wright was
to have been hanged at Alexandria.
Va. yesterday. The circumstances
surrounding the case are such as to
make IL questionable as to whether
the female in question was even as
saulted by Negro. That this col
ored ann was elsewhere at the time
is generally conceded and that
Wright viii ultimately be released is
well-nigh foregone conclusion.
Be that as it may. we certainly
commend the language used by His
Excellency, Gov. Swanson. He said
THE additional evidence, supple
menting the original evidence pro-
duces in my mind such a strong
doubt OF the Identification of the
prisoner as the party who committed
the assault that ] feel / would be
recreant 10 my duty as Governor II
/ should permit this poor. friendless
Negro to BE executed"
This language has the true ring
of the Virginian Ito the manor
born" We remember when Gov.
Fitzhugh Lee performed a similar
service for Simon Walker, charged
with criminal assault and who has
recently been discharged from the

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Irish evict-

houses OF parliament in what Chief
Secretary for Ireland Birren called
an emasculated form. The peers re-
fused to bulge on the main amend
ments, and in spite Of the goads Of the
Nationalist members the government
elected TO accept the mutilated meas
ure rather than abandon the bill en-
tirely.
The principal amendments inserted
by the house Of lords deprive the
commissioners Of the power OF turning
out the present holders Of farms for the
purpose OF reinStating evicted tenants
and give landlords the right to appeal
to the law courts against the rulings
or the estate commissioners regarding
the value Of land to be purchased.
