WHY NOTe

That the opponents TO the commits
zion form of government have reach
ed The end of their tether is apparent
from the sort OF argument that is
now being introduced to bolster up
the lost cause. The people, tax
bu dened and with little to show for
their expenditures, ask for change.
There Is no controversy as TO the
need Of that change. The people
know their rights. They demand
that they be given an opportunity 10
invea their money for the good Of
the city and that demand Is so inn
perative that it is voliched for by the
signatures of hundreds.
The Leader speaks only for the
rrog essive element. That element
has spoken by signing the petition
for the commission form OF govern
ment, and that petition must be acted
upon. There can be little deviation,
and there should be none. II the
mayor is confident that he is backed
by the people why not give these
people chance and at the earle st
possible moment?

A Real Good Law

Jackson, MISS, Ciarlon)
Though the youngest state in The
Union, Oklahoma is making rapid
strides to greatness, having devel-
oIed more than any other state in a
similar time, not only in business and
agricultural pursuits but along other
lines, for the enforcement of law and
the moral uplift of The commonwealth
For instance, the supreme court OF
that state has set an example for
other courts that is woIthy of the
highest commentator. In handing
dcwn decision recently the Oklaho-
ma court said:
Now that our criminal iurispru-
dence is in its formative period. we
are determined to do all in our power
TO place ii upon the broad and sure
foundation OF reason and justice, 81
that the innocent may find it TO be
q refuge of defense and protection
and that the guilty may be convicted
ano taught chat it is an exceedingly
serious and DANCE Gus thing to violate
the laws of this state"
In the case above referred to man
bad been convicted OF murder. "On
taking an appeal TO the higher court
the defendants attorneys set up the
plea that the indictment was defec
tive. The defect in the Indictment
as pointed out by the attorneys, con
sisted in the omission of the WORD
the before the words State of Ok
lahoma.' The court OF appeals ruleC
That this emission was not fatal de
spite the fact that some high legal au
thorities had ruled to the contrary
In affirming the sentence of the lowe
court the higher tribunal showed ;

TACKLES SALOON
LICENSES MONDAY
Committee Will Take Care of Saloons
and Older Places Of Good Repu-
tation First.

Monday morning the council commit
tee on liquor regulation meets TO con-
slider the method II will use In pass
ing upon the 1900 applications for
liquor licenses which are before 1t.
One OF the first points to be passed on
will be as to whether the council will
accept the opinion OF Assistant Prose.
cutting Attorney A. w. Fitzpatrick that
transfers OF saloon property constitute
voluntary surrender of the right To
do business, and thereby decrease the
number OF licenses which may be
granted. Outside legal advice is being
taken by the aldermen.
II Kilpatrick's opinion Is accepted,
the next thing to do will be TO deter.
mine how many transfers have been
made. The corporation counsel's Office
states that 81 have been made since
Sept. /. In the county treasurer
office record of only 45 transfers since
May / was found. II may be neces.
sary to checx over all bonds and appli-
cations since May last. This com.
mittee now has very full index 20
all present saloonkeepers, prepared by
Secretary Schreiter ate: weeks OF
work.
1t Is expected that. In determining
what places must be left of, the com
mittee will first take care Of the hotels
and the older places owned by citizens
and which have a good reputation. The
places which have been reported on
unfavoraEly by the police and those
which have figured In complaints by
the police In court will get the last
consideration II Is probable that n
number OF hearings will have to be
held In behalf of men who wish to
reply to complaints against them.
One member of the committee stated
that preference Is likely to be given 10
those saloonkeepers who have CON
siderable investment In their places O:
own them. over the men who merely
rent and have acted. practically, as
brewers or distillers' agents In the
past.
The committee will have to work
hard during next week. as the entire
list OF saloons reported upon favorably
Will have to be passed by the council.
The meeting of the council for this
purpose will be held on Monday, April
IL. and 1t Is expected that the list will
be passed upon by Friday of that week.
One change In the law which will
bother some OF the poorer saloonkeep-
ers Is that which compels the entire
$500 license fee to be paid within two
weeks after the saloon license Is ap-
proved. Otherwise the license be-
comes void and another will be issued
III Its place to someone else
