been organized In many, IL not most, of

The 23d Psalm.

~HIS is the best loved passage OF
Scripture. 1T has been variousiy
named. Henry Ward Beeche:
used to say that il is the
Nightingale Psalm" because.
he said. the nightingale always sings Hs
sweetest music in the night time; am
while the twenty-third psalm Is precious
to us when the sun SHINES. IL Is all the
more precious when the sky is overcast
when the night Is dark. when our friends
are few. when our hearts are breaking so
I suppose there could scarcely be bette"
name than this. 1t is the Nightingale
Psalm. Somebody else has said that IL
is the song of the meadow lark. The
meadow lark. you well know, sings It's
sweetest song as it leaves the earth, and
the higher it flies the sweeter it sings.
Live in fellowship with the world and you
won't appreciate the twenty-third psalm;
live separate from the world and ytr say
1t over and over again with burning cart
and moistening eyes: The Lord is my
shepherd: | shall not want.

4 LONG time ago il was said.
~ The voice Of the people is the
"a voice OF God" and many a news
paper has adopted this motto.
The newspaper has not always
voiced the sentiments OF the people, but
the people have always expressed the
will OF God. If any man would know
what God is thinking about let him keep
close to the people. Mr.. Gladstone once
said: 81 painfully reflect that in almost
every great political controversy of the
last fifty years the leisured classes, the
educated classes. the wealthy classes. the
titled classes have been in the wrong.
The common people, the toilers, the men
Of uncommon sense-to these we owe

Twenty-Five years ago a famous French
statesman said that the social problem Is
a fad upon which serious-mnded states
men should waste no time. Today no
thinking man will deny that the social
problem is the most important which con-
fronts us. There are thousands of men
who are being deluded by the vain hope
that IL they can abolish the labor union
they will have solved the labor question:
These men forget that the labor uuion
is not the labor question. II every labor
union in existence were to be wiped out

try Soon after the divorce action
was taken DR. Harrison left his home
and would not return until yesterday.
Allegations of a sensational nature
were made by his wife in her petit
tion for divorce. Charges of habitual
drunkenness and desertion were made
and the petition stated that when re-
monstrated with by his wife for his
heavy drinking, DR.. Harrison replied,
do you think l would give up my
whisky for you?" After the divorce
case was filed the doctor is reported
to have neglected his practice and
brooded much over his trouble.
When he went to his home yester-
day afternoon he had small bottle
of ether and bottle of whisky and
drank the contents of both in the
presence of his wife. Soon afterwards
he became unconscious, but his wife,
thinking him only in drunken stupor,
paid no attention to his condition.
Later, however, when she attempted
to arouse him she found his condition
so critical that a physician was sum
moned but arrived too late.
DR.. Harrison was one of the best
known veterinary surgeons in the
state and had an excellent practice
in this part of Oklahoma. His friends
in this city had been carefully watch
ing his actions as they feared a tragic
end would result from his continued

STATE PRISONERS
GRANTED PAROLES
Thos. Lindsey And Belle Phillips Re
ceive Executive clemency-
Woman Refuses to Leave.

Following a meeting of the state
board of pardons which recommended
the granting of numerous paroles and
pardons, Governor Haskell yesterday
sent to Sheriff H. E. Ridenhour, who
has charge of state prisoners con-
fined in the branch penitentiary To-
Gated in this city, paroles for two
prisoners confined here. They are
Thomas E. Lindsey and Belle Phillips.
Lindsey was convicted last Noyem-
Der in the district court of Carter
county of the crime of forgery and
was sentenced to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for a term of eighteen
months. His parole was granted on
the statement of the prison physician
that Lindsey was suffering with an
incurable disease and could not long
survive in confinement. He was re-
leased yesterday afternoon and left at
once for his home. In Lindsey's case
an unconditional pardon was asked for
by Senator Harry X. Allen, backed by
numerous petitioners in Carter county
and was recommended by the state
board of pardons, but only parole
was granted.
Belle Phillips, the other recipient
Of executive clemency, was convicted
on the 21st day of February, 1907 in
the district court of Kiawa county of
manslaughter in the second degree
and sentenced to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for term of four years

ed was the murder of another woman

commended by the board of pardons on
the representations of Sheriff John w.
Parkham and ex-County Attorney
Thomas w. Conner of Kiowa county
Upon signing the document authoriz-
ing her release from prison, Belle
Phillips was told by Sheriff Riden-
hour that she was at liberty to go as
soon as she pleased. To the surprise
of the sheriff and guards the woman
refused to leave the Jail, stating that
she had no other home until some of
her relatives or former friends came
after or sent for her She will be
cared for here until otherwise dispos-
ed of. The conditions of her parole
are:
First. The said Belle Phillips shall
make a report to the governor every
sixty days after the signing of this
parole, said report to be under oath
in writing, showing the whereabouts
and conduct of the said Belle Phil
lips for the two months preceding date
of said report.
Second. That the said Belle Phillips
shall abstain from the use of intoxi-
eating liquors in any form and to
avoid all evil associations and i'm
proper places of amusement, to obey
the laws and conduct herself in all
respects as an upright citizen.
Third. A violation OF any of the
above conditions set forth forefeits
this parole on the part of the said Belle
Phillips, and renders her liable to be
returned at once to the penitentiary
to serve out the maximum of said
sentence.
