THE LEeisLATURe

ANU M hORpo'
The good roads agitation in okla
homa is now very near to the point
where it can and viii bear more sub
stantial fruit Considerable has been
done in the new state but much more
remains 10 be- done Roads need
work more than talk. anyway but
plans must always precede construc-
tion I'm any great work So Il must
be with roads
The question of roads will be one
OF the prominent issues before the
coming legislature and will doubtless
command most careful attention. Tue
constitution in this respect Is man
datory rather than permissive The
words are. The legislature is direct
ed to establish a department Of high
ways"
The employment Of convict labor on
the roads IS permitted and seems
likely 10 find favor with the legisa-
tuTe Under proper supervision the
convicts could accomplish great
deal for the state whose laws they
have offended and at the same time
be engaged In a healthful and invigor-
ating occupation. Care should be
taken not to brutalize the men en-
gagged in such work by improper pro-
vision for their needs or mistreat-
ment
The Democratic party stands pledg-
ed TO good roads legislation by the
following plank in the state platform:
We pledge the passage of a road
law that win enable the people in
each county to provide themselves q
good system Of roads
This construed with the constitu-
ton would naturally lead to the es-
tablishment of a istate department
having a certain supervision over con
struction and such matters and a re-
quiremeAt of the people of each coun-
" to pay for their own road work,
save such as might be done under the
state department with convict labor.
The value of farm land will be
largely enhanced along the route of
any good road This puts the farm
ers In a position TO receive benefits
far exceeding the cost OF construction.
Even more important than freight
rates is the expense in getting the
produce OF the farm to the railroad.
How greatly a good highway facili-
tates this is well known TO all
farmers
Oklahoma has the foundation and
the material close at hand to make
the best roads of any state in the
Union

Reusch Is DISCHARGED.

In the matter Of application OF Jul
ius Resch of Lincoln, charged with
violating the Gibson and Brewer law,
for writ of habeas corpus, the court
has ordered the prisoner discharged,
but has not decided the constitution
atty of the Gibson act. The court be-
lieves that this act was intended to
prevent manufacturers, wholesalers
and jobbers OF intoxica ing liquors, CT
their agents, from selling or being in
terested in the sale of Intoxicating IL
quor at retail, and not to prevent an
occasional sale of liquor by retailer
in quantity n excess of an ordinary
retail sale. Reuseh had sold two bar
rels Of liquor to another saloonkeeper.
He was not charged with having made

a sale at wholesale, which the court
says is not within the inhibition of the
law.

Clarke Sentence Affirmed.

Harrison Clarke. Calvin VAIN and
Clarence Cartwright were Jointly
charged in the district court of Doug
las county with the murder of Edward
FURY, q street car conductor, while at
tempting to rob him. Clark demanded
a separate trial, was convicted of muir
der in the first degree and the jury
fixed death as his punishment. The
court affirmed sentence and fixed Fri
day, August 30, for carrying into exc
cuton the Judgment and sentence OF
the district court. The court says the
bill of exceptions in this case shows
upon its face that 1t is incomplete and
does not contain all of the evidence,
and 1t would be justified in refusing to
consider the assignment of error that
the verdict is not sustained by the evil
dence. In view OF the fact that this is
capital case and the jury had fixed
death as the punishment the court has
read the record, given careful consid-
Grafton and is of the opinion that it
contains no reversible error. The
court says il is fully satisfied that the
evidence is sufficient to prove the de-
feIdantss guilt beyond the peradven-
ture of doubt and that the evidence
contains nothing which would justify
modification of the verdict of the
trial court.
